Giving up on my dream of trading for a living

[GoldDigger]

The irony of you complaining about someone else's posts wasting time lololololol

What is ironic is the fact that you
are even addressing me.

That other thing happened a long
time ago, get over it.

What is the point of this other than to waste more
of your time as well as everyone else's?

Can the moderator please start a pity party section.

How is it that some people can take a few hundred
dollars and become successful, and others can take
their entire life savings and squander it all away?

You do realize that you shouldn't have used all your
money on this, correct. And that the first rule of
investing is

"DON'T INVEST ANY MONEY THAT
YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE"

Trading isn't for everybody and if you couldn't figure
things out in seven years, it's definitely not for you.

It's also hard to believe that you couldn't figure out
some other way to generate income besides trading
or getting a job.

I hate to be harsh but I'm just keeping it real.

Good luck out there on your job hunt.

In the meanwhile, pray for an epiphany, you just
might get lucky.

You have no real life experience. Go get some. Take some risk.

Shinning daddies shoes probably wasn't the only thing they made her shine.

Not at all kicking him. He is an attention seeker who
will be back in a few days to say that he changed
his mind. He's a waste of time.

He could have wrote a book and sold it on Amazon
in the time it took him to write that lame ass post.

As to my online personality, it doesn't matter to me
what you think since you will never know me in the
real world. And I'm not here to make friends.

speaking of attention seeker, you could have easily not written anything if you had a problem with his post.

It was great for losers and wimps.

And I'm not into coddling either one.

Grow some balls and stop being quitters.

Show us yours.

 

[newwurldmn]

Show us yours.

Who has bigger balls: GoldDigger, MW, or Dawn?

Hi Steve,



Be proud of yourself. Most people do not last even one year and blow their entire account. You need to learn techniques that are consistently profitable. You can learn these hniques part time and hold another job.

Best of luck SteveM. Remember, you developed other skills while Trading, that make you employable, just got to figure it all out.

Didn't know Golddigger was a female. Shes showing classic signs of a personality disorder - lacking Empathy. For a female that's BAD if she has kids. They'll grow up to be such problems for society and others. Hope they developed dispite of her obvious flaws.

Good thoughtful post. I think it deserves to be in Baron's HOF list. Good luck, Steve. Sounds like you have a realistic outlook. You'll do fine in your new endeavours.

Enjoyed the read. Your escape from cubicle life had me chuckling.

Seven years ain’t so long. It sounds like you spent the time going down the conventional path. If you’ve really abandoned that path (not an easy thing to do), you may actually be at a point where you can begin to learn.

There are various ways to trade that do not require you to forgo earning an income at a job. Swing trading stocks EOD comes to mind. Darvas is a good example. If you are self-learning, it is best to do it on the side anyway.

And choose to pay the minimum tuition. There are opportunities worth risking your life savings on. Learning to trade on your own isn’t one of them.

THE tractor driver i hired most, really enjoyed his work+ working on his equipment; + he made more money than some lawyers.
I always told him he did not have to drive that fast, but if he damaged his equipment, he enjoyed working on it,2.
Takes all kinds to make a market.
