I am not a troll. And no reason to feel sad for me. 15K is not a big sum for me. I can afford to lose it. I disagree with your statement. Not all of them blow up. Most of them, yes. But not all of them. Some extremely lucky people succeed.
15k is not a big sum of money for you but you had to max out your credit cards at 36% APR to fund your gambl... trading account? Whatever man...
My earning power is more than 100K. Don't forget that I gave myself time until the end of summer. If I am not successful by then, I will find a job (unless US goes into recession, that is).
Dude, you are already repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Overbetting with scared money without knowing what you are doing and hoping that in the end you'll hit a homerun. As I said, in case you aren't trolling I really feel sorry for you. In case you are, please go ahead, you are really amusing.
No, I am not repeating the same mistakes. First of all, I am not scared at all. Second of all, I lost money not because of over-betting but due to revenge trading, which I won't do again. My equity low was at $9.6K. Since then I rebounded a bit. More importantly last Friday I lost $450, which is my smallest daily loss ever. So I am confident that I am on the right track.
Well, then do it then. You seem headstrong and confident enough...to have already made up your decision. Why are you debating these people here. Post your success story later (or bust story) May the force be with you, Mazel tov
Of course, I do not expect to blow up my account. I expect to win $10K by the end of summer. I just meant that there is nothing tragic in blowing up an account. Many successful traders did it in the beginning. I promise that I will be giving updates to the end. I hope it will become a #1 hall of fame thread.
