How did you finish the day? Don't give up so fast, you're just trading like most humans - emotions getting the best of you! If you have a proven system and are following it, then you should come out ok. These very narrow periods are difficult on most systems, and most traders. But they...

I KNOW IT IS "POSSIBLE", BUT YOU WILL NEED TO ACCELERATE THE GAINS A BIT. BEST OF LUCK (actually I do not believe in luck = when good planning and execution meet opportunity it looks like "luck") Oten

Although the system made +9.00 on the day. My long from 86.25 went into debit for a while and due to the very low asset value the margin clerk at the brokerage closed my position. So I will need to fund this account in January and resume with around $850.00 to give me some margin for...

Didn't "confuse it", just didn't look first - thought there was $850 or so but when I looked it was $500 +; one of old traders used the account and I just figured as it was sitting there it would be a good one try. Some of you are just so negative all the time!!

First of all, congratulations. I do not set monetary goals. My goal each day is to trade my technique faithfully without allowing my mind to allow me to vary from the proven path. Sorry to say I am not always success. But my % of staying on the path is steadily increasing. Wishing you...

When I saw the thread had been closed I did not trade the "trial" account. I found today that the account only has $580.00 in it and I am not sure it will be tradable Monday. The day margin is $500.00, so I may be permitted to trade it. The margin is low, but commission is high - $10.00+...

This thread had been closed been closed yesterday by the moderator, so I did not trade the account today as planned. I will resume trading on Monday. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND
