Crazy paper trading day

[naba zer]

I'm sure you've heard... no good deed goes unpunished. So, welcome to the dark side!

Thanks for the welcome, I have been waiting long for such historic thread to make my debut
My user name means "not for the gold", I think I am in the right place.

The issue is not if FJ can make some money. The issue is can FJ lose money, imo.

E.g. can FJ swing multiple contacts live, and take a good size loss. then another bigger loss, and then a third?

People ask "can I make money", but if they want to be a trader, the question is "Can I take losing money without it impacting my ability to trade well" (and make money).

PS: I see FJ responded below. Of course that is not what I talking about. I was referring to trade to trade and not going on tilt.

Spot on.

And he should be in the enviable position to find this out straight away and walk away relatively unscathed.

Have I even talked to you before?

If it becomes apparent, after much trying, that I won't be able to make enough doing this to justify taking energy away from home building, then I'll transfer my energy back to that. It's become monotonous and boring, and no amount of money is worth spending your life doing something that's become unenjoyable.

Lifestyle? I've traveled to almost 120 different countries in the past 4 years. I guess that doesn't count.

I bet you're a loser, btw. You just sound like someone who's never had success. Maybe just average success at trading and that's the best you've ever done. Not enough to fund any life worth talking about.

Yes,I like many others on this trainwreck thread have attempted to open your eyes to reality.

You now sound like a teenager arguing with someone on their Xbox.

If you achieve even mediocre success at trading,I will need to reassess my entire human metric.

From the of August I'm mid-December (about 3.5 months), I profited &/$24,000 on a $69,000 Schwab account. What do you call that? I call that an annualized 119% ROI.

These are the types of returns that I need in order to make this worth it. I make about 150% annual ROI home building. Because the only cash I put up is a down payment on a construction loan.

You are cherry picking which posts to reply to.As you probably are with your trading efforts thus far.

The,very valid,question regarding how you will cope with 2 or 3 losers in a row is the one which should attract your attention.

I don't think that truth plays a big part in this thread.

I sat down at the poker table in a casino once and turned $200 into $400 inside 3 hours... should I quit my day job?

Oh so when I do something it's luck, right?

Stop commenting on my posts. You offer nothing of value. You're clearly trying to project your own failures and incompetence on to others.
