    Trying to transition from full time job to trading. Having trouble with discipline.

    A quick update. I got greedy and try to experiment with the hare method and end up losing a lot of money. Not a big amount compared to my total capital but a good amount percentage wise. I wanted easy quick money but the risk got me with this method. Going to focus on the tortoise method...

    I don't think it's any different from a person who takes out a business loan to start a restaurant. Also, I have more then 1k in my checking account.

    I'm not seeking approval. People posted a message. I replied with information. I don't really need to post anything. If no one like what I post, then I will stop giving out more information from here on. Unless I need some information or advice. You're right there is no benefit for me to post if...

    Sure, we'll see how it goes. Regarding your psychological difficulties. I mentioned before I use meditation and sleep therapy. The meditation will help keep the psychological difficulties under control. The sleep therapy will help me go into what's call "trading in the zone". You heard of the...

    In the past I had sleep issues that affected my trading performance during the day. I recently figured how to solve my sleep issue. That was the big issue.

    $250 on one contract. According to my calculatuon $250 over 10 contracts is $2500. Over 100 contract is $25000. Sounds pretty good to me. $1000 is just a starter account. I haven't deposited all my money into it yet. And I do think it is amazing. Being able to make $250 on one day on $1000 is...

    Looks interesting. The website looks very professional. I notice you have high returns. What exactly is your goal for writing a book and using fundseeder? Books aren't going to make you rich. It sounds like you want to manage other people's money.

    Are you asking for a blotto? I don't understand why you don't believe me but since you asked for one I attached a blotto. Blotto is from today. I took the off work today and I'm done for the day. Could still take some time to make more but needing to relax. Vacation mode on.

    -Thanks. I've actually made more then 20% in the past before and technically I haven't traded the full entire month so it's really more then that.

    I probably should have put this in the OP. I will make more money trading full time. The markets are more active during the day. I would still use the tortoise but apply it to day market.
