$286 left

[zghorner]

I usually start with a $26K account, blow up, fund another one, don't know how many accounts I have blown up, maybe 5 or 6, but this is my last one. Only got $286 left.

I scalp mes, how many days can I last? Believe it or not, I still believe I can make a turn.

You can come back, just buy some same day exp OTM options contracts and they will hit for sure. I give you the Feb 2020 Dozu guarantee.

Take comfort in the knowledge that you're more liquid than Duzo.

I don’t think you can make some with that. You should have 10-15k to start for my opinion.
Any other thoughts?

Discipline and a plan can work wonders, but $286 isn't much to start with to be sure. There is a journal on ET right now where the guy started with $2K and he has tripled it in a relatively short time.

If was my last $286 buy $50 supplies to make masks and sell on craigslist, work hard and maybe get it over $1000, buy UCO, at least with the ETF, you have a chance of making something.

If you can't make it on a $5,000 account, more does not make it better.

Flippin' items is much easier than trading.
If you get a great discount on a popular item,
Your risk is almost 0% and the turnover is quick.

I used to buy misspriced items on Amazon,
Then I did unload locally at a great price, great margin.

That's the easiest money I have ever made.
But there is not much misspriced items anymore ...
And you can't buy in bulk so up to a point it's not worth the hassle.

So you got to find another business.
If you're creative enough you can find nice spreads, arbitrages, loopholes,

In the real economy.

Only got $286 left.

You can start a "office disinfecting and cleaning specialist" business with that much money.

The US government/corps are going to be throwing tens of billions of dollars at Coronavirus containment for the foreseeable future, and cleaning companies are going to be in high demand.

Far better odds of you making $100,000 doing that than from your $286 trading account.

How long does it take you on average to blow out $26k?

not talking shit, genuinely curious.

Got to lose it all, before you crack it, so not much left, then screwed and you can make out you'd cracked it.

Personally, I'd get a hooker for an hour if I'd blown even 26K once and give it up as a bad game.

I bet cleaning businesses already getting prepare to lunch something like this for schools, businesses, property owners, government offices...anything that can not be steamed off with a power hose.

Real post or troll post? If the former; don't mean to talk you down, but turning $286 into something anywhere close to the $125k+ you've lost, by trading, especially when you've shown the exact opposite of skill thus far, is in the realm of the highly improbable.

As people have remarked above, you will be far better off going into the real economy and finding a job or build your own business ("a bit" more complicated but noticeably easier than trading if you strike into the right niche).
