Best 1k I've ever lost in my life!

Quote from monty21:

Trading on the simulator is as authentic as telling ppl you lost your virginity because you masturbated.

Or like saying you can manage a business because you managed some gov't workers.

Or like saying you are a general because you're amazing at Age of Empires.

Or like saying you are a urban planner because you mastered Sim City.

Or like saying you are a great chef because you saw all the seasons of Top Chef.

He is saying he traded on the sim and didn't realize it! I think it holds the same value he thought he was on the real thing!

You're right......and it is funny. Guess he would have been pissed if he had made $1000 and it not counted.
 
Hard to believe someone can't realize they are on the sim. I mean executions are so unrealistic. Maybe he was trading 1 cent spread stocks.

Talk about getting your head in the game.
 
Quote from kxvid:

So I'm new to xtrader, didn't really know what I was doing so I logged into xtrader and traded. I made $215 from 2 consecutive trades. I could've gotten out of the market at that point as I had achieved my daily goal, but no I had to gamble some more.

I went short near the end of the day on thursday, and got caught up in the short squeeze panic buying. I turned a $215 profit into a $500 loss. Then I did something even stupider, after losing $500 went short again and lost another $250 roughly. I got out of that short position around 4am for a 1k loss total.

I was trading in simulator mode the whole time so I paid 1k tuition without losing a dime. I was pleasantly surprised by my brokerage statements not reflecting and trades the next day! It doesn't get any better than that. :D

I think it's funny because this is all something we'd wished upon early in our career i'm sure. Anyone bashing the OP must still be having "issues" with red ink IMO.

Agreed!

Everyone loves to bash in this forum trying to make themselves feel a little better about their problems. I'm guilty of it too as I'm in the infancy of my trading career.

We can all bash and learn at the same time :)
