Lucky dogshit & unlucky dogshit.Sorry but this is nothing new from the unending procession of losers. Forget trading & work on getting a life of your own.
You're exactly the sort of useless asshole who should have his IP address banned from ET. So the guy blew his account. Your tough-guy, jerkoff trash talk provides no insight and offers absolutely nothing of value. It's not even entertaining. You probably blew out your $5k account and are just here to vent your frustration.
"Champion"...give me a fucking break.

I'm new to the boards but I just wanted to share this with you guys. I first started trading "seriously" last January. I started with 7k and immediately started trading stocks and options. Nothing held longer that 3 weeks, with the exception of AAPL. By the End of december my account was at $52,344. Today it is at $4,655. In case you guys dont already know, never think you own the market. I will continue to grow this 4600 with some of the same strategies that I used before, except this time I will have a little more respect.
Respect you very very much
Here is my real experience:
I started my serious trading with $550 - $600 at a dead account on Mid Oct, 2007. After 2 months hard work, it went up as high as 12k at mid of Dec.2007.... but just in 2 weeks right before Xmas I lost half of it. Today it goes up to 15k at the new high
So come on, man. Learn from it. Strengthen what you have, avoid the mistake you did. You will laugh at the end
Good luck

So one years worth of gains lost in one month. "respect" is important in life and you learn the hard way.

Good trading. But what are you trading?
forex?
Hey man.
I have a friend who did just what you did.
He started with about 10k, got it up to about $23k investing in Apple and Rimm and some others, and then got brought back down to 13k with the same stocks.
So, his buy and hold strategy didn't work and he's learning from his mistakes.
Good luck!

Play the market with sectors rotation.
For example, I got SNDK 27.5 calls yesterday at 0.35. Today sold half 1.2 and keep half to the next days
SEMI(SMH) caught up with the big market today. Put NEM yesterday but got out too early
When financials (xlf) leads the market, it's a real bull market. Everything will be in order awhile
same experience as me
$ 2250 to 4200 to 300....
poor money management
Trading is not just Technical and fundamental.. .emotional control and money management take big parts
