OMG LOLz, dude seriously. i'm 18, you're 18, we're in the same boat. and now you're criticizing me for asking a semi-serious question? i didn't know whether there was some action regarding the spike in crude today, so i thought i'd ask. i do recall reading a few poosts by you expressing despair in your trading. but that aside you need to remember there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.
you're here to read and learn just as much as i.
LOL
Dw mate i wernt taking the piss, we were just joking.
And while i think it is great that your starting to trade at 18, which is way way earlier and better than most traders started,
i wouldn't actually be able to say 'we are in the same boat'.. lol
I started making money from oil back when i was 9 (it was so so obvious that oil would rocket in price cos well it will runout), so i had my parents put all my little savings and pocket money into buying oil for me.
I cashed in way way to early, but i needed the money for something.
Now ive been trading during the day when was at college and all evening, and then spending the evening reading and posting on traidng forums for over 1 year now.
I left college back in July, and starting from just £750 creditcard money, which was all the money i had in the world, my account by mid august was just under £5,600!!
I then moved into a luxury new apartment in surrey on 23rd august, with rent and bills hitting just under £890 per month, and paid 3months rent upfront + over £1,5000 security deposit!
And now back trading again from what started at barely £2,000 capital again, im currently playing with the £1,000 profit so far this month (after taking 1st week off), making £800 consistently last week just to lose it in 1 nightmare oil move taht came from nowhere, im already back to being in £1,000+ profit for the month so far, and have barely got started yet!! lol
Thats why we not in the same boat, cos i learnt how to trade and make enough money the hard way by 1st working out how to lose money... lol
But now i trade for my fulltime career and make a very decent living off starting accounts that i need to make 50% profit on in the month just to survive and feed mysefl!
But enough about me.... LOL
The reason your question amde us laugh so much was because when the bloke said sarcastically,
''Selling banned on all US stock exchanges. Buying banned on all commodity exchanges'',
if that was actually true the entire market would just collapse in on itself to nothing and there would be an uproar!! LOL
