I am glad you're still posting. This year will truly be survival of the fittest.

What makes you think they are the same people?!

Sorry to hear that. You know I always root for you. So what happened? The market had been in a strong uptrend. Did you bet against this trend or did you oversize one or two positions that went against you?

Change the date format to mm/dd/yyyy also. You are posting to an American site. (Many people will read 04/11/2016 as April 11, 2016.)

Neke, If something like Black Monday (10/19/1987) happens again, your long option positions will be wiped out. Could your current stock/option trade allocation withstand such a shock? Would you be able to recover from such event? By the way, before I retired from my day job, I had worked...

Neke, Glad to hear from you and nice to see you do well this year. I have been at this (trading US stocks) since 1986 and seen countless part-time traders getting crushed and not recover. I'm rooting for you to succeed.

Index Piker, I applaud your honesty in illustrating your losses. You use leveraged ETFs and if the market drops like it's been doing, you're gonna be hit.

Great job fighting back to end the month near even, Robert.

Good job, Neke.

Thank you, sir, for making my day. Please give me your complete address. :)

So, Limitup, please answer the charge: Did you try to shame Red_Ink (the guy with frequent humongous day trading profits) with a ... paper-trading account?

Context: I am a US equity speculator who’s looking to beat the benchmarks (indices and ETFs) by a few percentage points each quarter. I have been trading US equities for more than 20 years. Caveat: Rules don’t do much for you unless you have a true edge (i.e., a working system). Most...
