But... why would you stick to 6 contracts? You do realize that is gambling? If you don't get anything out of my posts, you better do some basic math. 6 contracts or 1 contract. You get more time to learn with 1 contract if things go wrong. You get less time to learn with 6 contracts...

I certainly wouldn't go to any prop firms telling them you blew up a 30k account. That wouldn't help you :) I'm just saying, right now, you are showing some of the very many similar posts I have seen that people have failed. So you either got to stick to it, or accept it. You came into...

Hey MarketSurfer. I believe it was ES that told me you were from PA, how is the weather up there? *I am originall from Johnstown, PA*. Anyways, if I may ask, what are all your screens used for and what apps you got running? Also, how did you get your laptop to stand up like that? My...

LMFAO!!! Cheese, back when I was new to these forums, I generally thought you were nuts, now I just know you tell it like it is. Sometimes it comes out flat out hilarious though....

Really impressive. Definately an inspiration.

"you assume drug induced vegetative state is happiness... " I don't assume anything. I never have tried drugs and never intend to. So please don't put words in my mouth. I just told you facts. Even at the end of the statement you still want the money. Like I said, life continues...

Hehe, ES, your going to be a billionaire by then. Driving the woodgrain

:p :p :p Were you referring to his gambling mentality? He is starting at 6 contracts, so once he starts loosing, he is going to go up to 12, and then 24, and then by then it will be over I'd imagine.

Great advice Can anyone tell me on an 8k account, how many trades it would take to blow it out trading 6 lots? I don't know how T-bonds work. But this guy is insane.

You know what, you already confirmed it for me. You have failed as a trader, there is no hope. Give up immediately. You just demonstrated a common line I have seen from a lot of the failures on ET. You already going to be revenge trading. Seriously. Take my advice, put that...

How would they find out? You could go up to any prop house and put up money they will take you. But.... seriously. You go to prop houses to INCREASE leverage. They are for new traders who expect to start off trading small. Or great traders who need buying power to execute their...

Well you got some brass balls my man. I don't know how the hell anyone in this world could do that. You had to be pissed off to the next dimension or something. Did you have any anxiety attacks? I just would love to know how you did it. I always have put in sincere effort to read all...

I don't know, but even with 1 year of experience, I can't imagine how some people can put so much money at risk. I thank god I didn't decide to throw 30k into an account. (I couldn't afford to anyways) I was wise, I started small, I blew out my account twice. I'm ready to go. If I would...

You have serious issues. You are so cought up in the money of trading, you don't even care how you perform. You are worried about loosing money. Everyone loses money. Everyone has their bad streaks. You need to aim for consistency. You just seem to be one of those traders who looks at...

Truthseeker.... You said this in a previous post: "Sometimes....but in such cases we call it GAMBLING (especially when a single trade makes a positive number into a negative one). If you trade like that then you are a gambler not a trader. Please note that I never said Traders could not...

See, but the fact is, they were happy at first. Money Bought Them Happiness....... it wasn't forever. But money CAN buy Happiness. The question is, how long can money sustain that happiness? That is a more proper question I think. Because a "can" or "can not" question is...

You were gambling. You need to start trading.

So someone create a new thread. "How Long Can Money Keep You Happy?" There is a real debate. This one is a "can" or "cannot" question. Fact is, anything can happen. This thread was not labled. "Can money make everyone in the world happy?" No. That of course is not true. But...

Andrasnm. Prove money can not buy happiness. Prove that for one second in a single soul's life, that money did not buy them happiness. Prove it, that is all I ask you. You telling me if I didn't come to your house and give you a few billion dollars you wouldn't be happy. You are full...

This question almost can't be answered with a simple answer. Money can buy happiness though. If you are bold enough to say that can't happen. I will prove it to you. If we give that person 50 billion dollars, in a few years, that person may not be happy. But I will be bold enough to...
