  1. Oh that was classic! I wonder which was higher, his blood pressure or his margin call? I will save that one. My favorite part was his head on the desk.

    We've all been there.

    Glad I use stops and size.

    "FUCK!"

    I puked all over the place and ruined my computer on top of losing a lot of money.

    yes, I thought I was broke and I had no way of getting enough money in the next 5 to 10 years to start again. When I started trading I had one shot to make it. It was about 12 years ago.

  10. I would never be so stupid as to trade that many contracts of anything to amount to that kind of money on the line in one trade. I prefer more frequent lower-amount distributions from my broker over big-money distributions less often. Just easier to deny the emotions when a losing day comes.

    Was this person running a trading room? Why else would he be running a screen capture and webcam?
