Calling it quits and saying goodbye to ET

"Calling it quits and saying goodbye to ET"


So? You needed to start a new thread on the subject? If you're really leaving just go. Trust me nobody gives a shit.


When I leave I'm not saying a word. Because trust me - NOBODY gives shit.

I think you are right on this. The isolation of opinion that many restrain on themselves by only frequenting a certain specialized social aspect will eventually make them out of sync with the rest of society.

I said in some earlier posts that people should manage and budget their time - think about a calendar and invest in social activities to balance their lives.

Also spending time in nature is very healthy. Be it on the beach, in a park or the woods ... on the sea, fishing at a lake or river. It all works wonders for people getting broken down by their "over levering" their social investment into their profession. As we all know - you should not let everything in your life centre around trading - as that kind of leverage will break you in the end.
:D

All I ever wanted was to find a consistent way to pull one point from the market and trade size as my account built up. I only need $200 per day to keep going.

My psychiatrist thinks I am addicted to trading.


Firstly, "below 75K" is not exactly the skids or the end of the world. Of critical importance however, is a proven inability to throw off a very minimal amount of income from your trading. And a proven ability to stay the losing course for 8 years!! I don't know about trading addiction, but you are definately a drama queen... failing, financial hardship, whatever you call it, produces and fills a bigger, and according to you, a better outcome than success and all the things that means to you and your life.


Everyone I talk to says to quit. My family thinks I am just a gambler.

Since you are a proven loser, consistently for 8 years, they are correct. You should have quit a long time ago.


"I don't know what to do. I'm 51 and alone. My last two girlfriends left because they were worried about my finances and couldn't deal with the down days."

Clearly you weren't interested in relationship. So back to a, perhaps even "the" real issue... I am alone, noone loves me, I am a loser.... you have been trading for other people, and you are proving yourself correct. You are a loser not worthy of being loved by anyone. In reality, trading or any other profession, with the exception of perhaps rock star, has zero to do with being loved.


I have no idea where to turn from here. What am I supposed to put on a resume - eight years as a daytrader? I don't even want to work for someone else, anyway and don't know what else I would do.
I'm 51 ... I've been trying to make it as a trader for eight years. I have yet to have a profitable year.

51 - 8 = 43
What did you do before? What was your previous venture that allowed you to save what is now "below 75K"?

I'm sure I'm not the first failed trader being faced with these options. I could sure use some words of advice, though.

Or how about this for a novel idea, when the moderators see someone like the OP (using one of his multiple nicks) starting a troll thread just delete it, eventually he'll get fed up and not bother :)

people are always willing to give up their freedom for so little in return. It is like censorship on tv. if u don't like what's on write a letter or post a flame.
