2 contracts with $3600 is pure insanity. I would suggest bringing it down to 1 or better yet, switching to USO.
Day 11 +0.37% Forgot today was labor day. Went in and exited quickly to go back to sleep because i wasnt expecting much movements. Glad I slept as there wasn't much movements.
Day 12 -3.14% Today i felt for the first time maybe i cant make a living off of trading. Saw and traded similar patterns Ive seen many times before but i still made the same simple mistakes that scared my account. Only reason i am down 3% is because of pure luck. I wouldnt be surprised to be down 50% today as I sure deserved it.
You're out of your mind, man. Dude. If you would not be surprised to be down 50%, and you felt you "deserved" it... For the love of all that is holy...Stop trading!!!! P.S. You make me angry...I have been mulling over my $850 loss today. And here you are, slinging your account percentages as if it all means nothing. You truly do seem to be a wanker. Try this stuff with real money and stop jerking our chains.
@Overnight Im sorry for your loss. I went low as $800 today too and was able to make it up by being lucky. Look at my video today and youll see why i think i wouldnt hate myself even if i lost 50% today... because i traded like a total noob; not following my own rules and not exiting when clearly i had no idea what was going on. And i am trading real money... I didnt know there were still people thinking i am using a sim account. Look at my IB account number.
*shakes head* This business is not about "luck". You gotta' get that through your mind. Some days the business loses money, some days it gains. That's all it really is. I suddenly crave a Hostess Ho-Ho. WTF
At least your not happy you didnt lose half your account. But that needing to support family and shit... is just wrong. At least i didnt have to support anyone else when i went through this shit. You have the guts to do it, but not your family dude.
Personally I don't believe a word this guy posts, me thinks he's trolling ET with delinquent nonsense, actually just thought up an original idea, I'll hit the ignore button
