  3. It's terrible to see a person lose his hard earned money no matter what the reason is so I feel bad for the guy.

    I am just wondering why he decided to tape his meltdown? Maybe he did'nt realize the cam was on or he wanted it for posperity??

    Looks like a well-rehearsed recording opportunity. How many of you have a live cam of their trading room? And why would he get wrecked by a 26K loss? In any case, whether real or not, it is funny.

    Good Bye.........I hope you all have a nice life. I need to be to work in 2 hours, and I can't manage this position, I have to sell out. About 40k in 2 days,,,,,,,,,,,,gone. Speechless. One bad trade, is all it takes. 2 and a half years of trading thrown down the drain on 1 trade. Who would've thought the Futures would tank as much as -500pts on YM with the US markets closed. I didn't, and I never really wanted to be in this position, but I couldn't accept the small loss.

    Go ahead and link me and show the world how much of an idiot I am. Leave the comments of how stupid a trade I put on.




    This video should be a requirement for any one who thinks at stop is not important in trading.

  6. No, I think he feels he only deserves to be treated like a loser or an idiot. He's in self destruction mode which is a sign he wasn't prepared for this. At least he is honest with himself that's what might help him improve his trading skills. How many would have stayed quiet like nothing happened ..?? I hope for him someday he'll come back with a tape of him doing great ..

    I too have gone through what this guy went through...more than once. I do feel with time he can eventually make it. It will be an arduous course, but not insurmountable if he is "willing" to pay the price. He seems to have enough going for him, but needs to discover it. He needs to get out of self-destruct mode, as well as out of "excuse and blame". Once he takes "ownership" of his actions and corresponding results, he has a chance. I for one would not give-up on him.

  9. This guy is not even a trader.

    He's a complusive gambler.

    If you think he's a trader, then maybe you are too. No ,not a trader, a gambler.

    Of course he is not a trader. Do you think traders are born? He can "become" a trader. Whether he does what is necessary, is up to him. Obviously, the odds are against him, but it is doable.
