    Its a very good forum. I hope you will stop trading the real account until you have a rational simple strategy which you can then demo and improve and demo and improve until it goes like clockwork.

    So scientists who try to develop new products (medicines, composite materials, chemical structures...) are not scientists but artists?
    At least till they found the wanted formula. Because no programmer can simply code algorithms to perform the analysis and make tons of money till the formula to be programmed is created.

    And when they have found the formula that can be programmed they change their status from "ARTIST" into "SCIENTIST" ????
    :wtf:

    ".. i do not want to trade longer term because i need the excitement and occupation on a daily basis..."
    Well for starters, these are the wrong reasons to lay a good foundation for trading.
    Your first priorities should be: Be very focused. Slow down. Protect your capital.
    The last bit is very hard to accomplish if you do not have a winning system, however let's assume due to your sim trading you have a winning system. Place your small trade, know prior how you will behave if the trade goes your way or goes against you and execute your exit.

    If you're not profitable. Then why do you call yourself a trader God?

    TraderDOG on the otherhand, has feet firmly on ground, with a nose to sniff out bargains.
    That's why I thought he'd made a typo, thought traderDOG suited him better. :)
