    How can struggling daytraders cope with the social stigma of being called losers?

    ??? LOL sounds like you don't have a Bloomberg either since you couldn't answer the question. Odds are there is no grand answer. It was some bored schmuck looking for easy $$$. A rumor is a rumor, not a piece of news. Same BS happens almost every day, though this one was genius...

    My Path To Success

    lol I give this 1 week. You can't trade futures with an account of that size. Have you backtested a strategy? Have you paper traded? My recommendation to you, with an account of that size, is to NOT trade every day. Instead, wait for those 1-3 setups / week that have you foaming at...
