Whatever, if you think you have the right to judge, then I suggest you post documentations of your recent p/l to compare to mine. Otherwise, you're just another one of the 95% day trading losers whose opinions are worthless. P.S. if you haven't notice. My skills have gotten better since two months ago.
Just keep in mind I'm only mentioning this to you because I recognized early on in my trading how profoundly psychology affected what happened to my account. I had massive swings when trading prop that ... about 6 years later ... I recognized were all the result of not having a combination of humility and a clear codified plan that put the emotional stuff in context.

Beside, how much I lost while learning was small compared to how much many of you have lost.
