Thats an old saying Destriero, referring to flattening out by EOD.
I'm not sure what part of "hobby" you don't understand. The appeal is in winning the game, one that most can't. So I take back what I said, I would be very pissed if it went to zero I suppose.
Re flattening out.... I learn from my mistakes. No one taught me how to do this. I have sustained significant losses in the past on overnight holds. If I hold now, its a very small position or a directional option play on no more than 10 or so.
Discipline and risk management big guy. Its key.
