first of all, there has been no demise of Gordon Gekko. i am not done. i know many successful traders probably had their low points. i'm just at one now. i'm not gonna get into my whole life story, but i'd say my early childhood was middle class. during my teens, my family was probably...

NOTE: macal425 DELIBERATELY FADED ME!! LOOK WHERE HE ENDED UP!!! LAST PLACE!!!! :p OUCH!!!

i agree, dude. i'm gonna have to. thx :cool:

i have only failed for the moment. i will not fail in the end.. i'm 25 and i know more about trading than most of you guys think i do. no, i'm not going to get into proving it; i don't care. i know what i know. what you don't realize is, I'M AHEAD OF YOU (most likely). where were you at 25? you...

i'm not clueless. you're clueless if you think i am.

no, dude, what's incredible is you. you're free to have your opinion, but if you don't like this discussion, stop reading it. losing your money trading is a very real issue for many people. i know people are interested in what i'm saying because it has happened to and will happen to many people...

OK..... NOW THAT A FEW HOURS HAVE PASSED, THE INITIAL SHOCK AND DISAPPOINTMENT ARE WEAKENING..... THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME. WHENEVER I HAVE TRADING PROBLEMS, I'LL FEEL TERRIBLE FOR A SHORT PERIOD, BUT THEN I COME BACK EVEN MORE EAGER TO DO THIS. I AM SERIOUS ABOUT THIS AND I AM NOT QUITTING...

i knew someone would point this out. like i've been saying, i was trading in a way too small for my account. if that trade had worked out, i could have made 20%-30%. also, it was my final trade, so i was a little more liberal with it. yes, i would agree this may not have been the smartest thing...

surf, that is very generous, but i would never accept any money from other people. but thank you, anyway.

LOL

i already said this in a chit chat thread, but i want to mention it here, too, since it has been discussed.... hail mary may have been a bad way to put it. the trade was not anything crazy. i just considered it to be my last trade, since if it wasn't a winner, i'd be below $2000. it was not a...

hail mary may have been a bad way to put it. the trade was not anything crazy. i just considered it to be my last trade, since if it wasn't a winner, i'd be below $2000. it was not a foolish trade. it just didn't happen to be a winner. and as i've already said, i wouldn't accept money from...

trend_guy, i was going to send you a PM. i still will...

thank you. that is exactly how i feel.

thx, but i wouldn't accept $1 from anyone....

LongShot, who are you kidding? everyone knows you have the most names on ET. your newest is Johnny Rotten.

that is incorrect. it has only been the last couple weeks i've been very selective with trades. i've made thousands of trades...

this is funny.. thx, but i would not accept anyone's money.

ok.. interesting comments. are you a psychiatrist? i really don't disagree too much with your comments, although i would say it's easy to tell i'm frustrated, etc. but you still had good comments. as you can tell, part of me is a mess right now. but i don't think my feelings are abnormal...

no, this is not correct. without getting into specific numbers, it went like this: started during bull market. made some money. started living off account, paid taxes, bought a new car (thought i was gonna be rich at the time). as i started to become more familiar with trading, i tried...
