  2. Can you post real blotters ? :)

    I would also like to recommend that if you are new you should be using your own money at first so your family or friends don't resent you if/when you lose their money. Use 5- 10k of money you can afford to lose as tuition of getting familiar with emotions when switching from sim to live. Trade 1 contract only. Even most of the best traders in the world all blew their first accounts. Just a friendly recommendation .

    Regards Zr1 :)

    I need instructions on how to transfer daily results from my platform,please.

    The account, even though it is in my mother's name, is mine. Nobody else's money is involved.

    Thanks for the advice. I am not allowed to exceed 1 contract for long time.

    When I execute poorly and that has been each day, I have to go back to sim for at least 4 hours to get straightened out. BIG difference between sim and real time!My reactions are like night and day.

    I will get a good result by executing correctly and then my confidence will build up.

    Take a screen shot of your monitor with results. To do this, press print screen. Then open paintbrush, paste it in, then crop out all other info other than results. (this is all assuming you are using Windows - any version) Look at some of the other blotters in this thread to see what is and is not posted.
