  1. So is this your ACTUAL account or is it a SIM? You have stated it is both.

  3. The value I post every time is a sim, but there is another real with nearly the same value and identical trades + Polish options and futures.

  4. There are many aspects to phsycology in trading. Im sure i cannot cover them all.
    Fear of winning, losing, judgement, respect, lack of confidence, overconfidence, certainty, uncertainty, greeed, recognition, feeling outcast, belonging, and so on and soforth.
    Not all are associated with one's feelings towards money directly.

  7. If your psycology is perfected, what is the purpose of posting a journal of a sim?

  8. First of all, not really a sim as I trade another account in nearly the same way, same balance.
    Second of all, I wanted to show my results in public so I feel more responsible by results. At some point couple of years ago, I felt no responsibility for results whatsoever, as I was always a system trader. I blamed the market and the system, and cash was just spare cash on some account. I know I can't progress as a trader with that attitude. That's why I needed this journal.
