    Thank you, but I took longer than I should have to finish.

    Around 7-9 hours on weekdays sat/off and Sunday all day

  3. I took a snippet of your opening post. This is all I saw in the entire introduction. I think your fears are valid. I am interested to read this thread as there are smarter traders in here than I and I might learn a thing or two myself. Good Thread Thanks!

  7. I understand. You are posting anonymously in a Forum with some hard core traders and you want to appear to cover all of the bases as you do not want to be rediculed. Please be thick skinned for what may come. Remember these traders here will or will not use their time especially if they feel they are wasting it, but at the same time do not take much to heart ok? Good Luck! (as you know the market can slap you upside the head much more than these traders here can)

    I really have nothing to lose by posting here except for 15-20 min a day, there is some good info if you look deep enough on ET. I honestly think it just comes down to putting in the hours and having the right tools with a little bit of passion

    Good to see you back and congratulations on you finishing your degree.

    By the way I agree with you and I am generally trading illiquid markets also.

    Best regards,

    liquid markets have edges too, as long as you're a small fish, you can sneak in and grab some scraps from the big fish. But once you're a big fish, you better be ready to compete with the other big fish.
