Quote from dbphoenix:
You people are truly amazing. Even though the guy can't win to save his life, you keep pushing and prodding him to keep trying, keep trying, keep trying. Why?
Cuz he's still got some money. We gotta keep him in the game `til he's broke, at least. Maybe he can borrow some money as cash advance on his credit cards. . .
Just kidding of course
. GG, I crashed out once and had to get a job, made another stake and lost it, went slightly worse than broke, had to get another job and finally I seem to be on my way. This time I was way better funded, way better technology, way lower expectations, way more patience. Way more everything expect dreams of millions in months.
Everybody is giving you advice, so I guess I will as well. For now (at least) forget about the markets and concentrate on developing some skills to earn a living. Once you've established yourself, you can consider the idea of trading once again. You're probably too young to know this yet (I know I was), but throughout the rest of your life you will go through periods of intense introspection as you determine what you should be doing with the rest of your life. This happens about every ten years or so, and usually about the even numbers (20 years old for instance - about when you decided to be a trader).
So, go earn a living. Develop skills that are in high demand. Do something fairly fun, and definitely challenging. There's plenty to learn, and soak up as much as you can. Then, about five years from now (I know, that seems like forever - but it will be over before you know it), you will reexamine yourself, and decide if you should repursue trading.
You may. You may not. You may try swing trading, or fundamental investment. Who knows, you may even decide to (God forbid) listen to analysts.
For what it's worth, there's my advice to ya. I'm reminded of an old adage about advice - that's it's worthless because "Wise men don't need it and fool's won't heed it." `Course, that does not take into account most of us average folks.
