    I agree. I don't know if you've read all the previous posts, but basically in in a lot of debt right now and have a full-time job to support myself and my debt payments. While I would love to trade full-time every day, because situation does not allow me to, I only trade before work in the...

    Day 13 EDIT: +12.00%. Found a good entry position while secretly watching the chart at work and went in for a little bit. Made a quick buck. Out for the rest of the day today but watch the oil chart!! I think it's going for a significant drop today. If I was at home, I would have entered a...

    @Overnight Im sorry for your loss. I went low as $800 today too and was able to make it up by being lucky. Look at my video today and youll see why i think i wouldnt hate myself even if i lost 50% today... because i traded like a total noob; not following my own rules and not exiting when...

    Day 9 -21.9% FML so.. started the day trading bad/okay. You can see in the youtube video, during the morning analysis, me calling out oil's upside to potentially 46.20, 46.30. Break upside to 46.20. and i was shorting it. I gambled and didn't exit when it seemed like it would break up because...

    I didnt literally mean the biggest drop of all time. I was emphasizing that a big drop might happen. The reason was there was a lot of downside to be filled if the current resistance level didnt hold.

    Day 8 +7.16% Waited for the oil news at 7:30pm PST and noticed it wasnt having a strong movement. Waiting for the big drop and while it could have been the drop of all time moment, I thought the strength in the chart was too weak to break the bottom resistance. I thought a bounce was going to...

    Day 7 +5.76%. Wanted to use 2 positions but realizing i'm going to blow up if i dont be careful, used 1 position. Did a good job seeing the breakout to the downside and made all of my off that. Was being careful today, always a good sign, but was fighting the urge to increase my position to 2...

    Day 6 +7.44% excellent example today on how not to trade. pure excellent video, with commentary, on how not to trade. Made money on a lucky breakout but today, trading was horrible. Oh man, if I don't really stop gambling, I'm going to lose all of my money this week.

    Day 5 -20.1% Week 1 +3.9% Where to begin... I was having internet problems again in the morning. My house has the cheapest internet and I guess it can't handle online streaming, charts, and trading at the same time. After a short time, I discontinued live streaming so I could trade. It was...

    Day 4 +1.61% Charts weren't pretty today and I barely traded. That and also my internet was being uncooperative and I disconnected twice.
