I do not think the OP meant money when he asked you guys to go private with your desires for ..... big monitors. :D :D :D

I am sure there is a noticeable difference between real and paper trading, but not everybody has the extra $10 grand to blow on education and then another $10 grand to refine it. I cannot speak for all who paper trade, but personally, so far it had helped me a lot. It allows me to implement...

I knew Japanese were a little bit :different" but what you are stating is a little bit more than that. Care to elaborate????

I hope you are not calling Herbalife great because of its products?

You are 100% right. I'd rather be dragged through the mud than see my P/L in negative territory. I have tasted a 20K loss once in my life and it shook me up in more ways than one. (no it was not trading or gambling). :D :D :D

This is exactly what I was trying to convey, namely that if i can catch a market in a state of extreme break out. Getting that 1 point with huge amount of contract (100) should be less risky than hustling 10 contracts all day long trying to make the same amount as with that 1 point with 100...

Jack, I am honored to have you post in this thread. Thank you for your informative post and your lengthy response. To tell you the truth, you are one of the very few individuals whose posts I have to read at least three times in order to fully comprehend. This remainds me of my graduate studies...

DAY 11 I guess this was my own little Stalingrad. 9 points in the hole. When the day ended could not believe my eyes. So for the day I am down around $500. I feel distraught and it is only papertrading. Lessons learned today: 1. Concentrate on what you are doing. Tell people to fuck...
