I've notice that there are SLA students who are in the observation and sim stage for literally months on end. The more time that is spent in observation and sim, the more bad habits and curve fitting are engrained in one's approach. Once that person finally begins to trade, they will have to unlearn all the the tactics that they think they have mastered. the decision process is much much different once there is real money on the line. One must first be well-capitalized to begin trading and then they need to spend a day or two learning the logistics of the market and then begin to trade. You will only learn to trade by losing real money in the real market. This is what I am demonstrating here---how easy it is to post trades and how easy it is to post losing trades. You must be ok with admission of losing in order to trade successfully. You must lose to learn how to win.
