If you don't mind, what is the size of your account?

You know Gordon, the first time I read one of your "woe is me" threads, I felt sorry for you - maybe even the second time. But it's getting old, real old.

Assuming that you are telling the truth (though I thought you were just hours from living under a bridge months ago) you are just a classic fuck-up. You don't listen. You don't take advice. All you do is look for sympathy.

If I were you, I'd forget about getting a job - you'd only screw it up, and get fired. Why not try begging on the street? You could tell your sad story to a whole new crowd, and pick up a few bucks along the way.

I would not be so sure about that.

You sound unhappy with trading. Get out of trading and find something else that makes you happy.

Trading is not for everyone. Some people operate better at a 9 to 5 job. It gives them a sense of a security blanket and comfortable daily routine. There's nothing wrong with that. Your true calling may lie elsewhere.

Quote from Gordon Gekko:

I started as a swingtrader years ago. I can't do any type of trading correctly. I shouldn't even be trading ES, but the fucking PDT rules screw me. My biggest losses ocurred right after PDT was implemented. I used to trade stocks, but when PDT came around, I started entered on the close and holding over night so I could exit the next day without it counting as a day trade. Let's just say it wasn't pretty. YEAH, NICE JOB, SEC. THANKS FOR APPROVING THAT GREAT RULE. Yes, I know I'm responsible for my own decisions, but the PDT rules are terrible. I don't care what anyone says, they shouldn't exist. I'm not talking about the extra margin that you guys like. I'm talking about the x trades in x days bullshit.

for fucks sakes gekko, i told ya dude: join a fucking prop firm!

how much more fuckin simple can it get???

if you really wanna be a day trader that badly, sell that fuckin car of yours, buy something CHEAP that will move you around and join a fucking firm; PDT problem SOLVED.

DUH

ps - yeah, SSFs aren't very liquid, but dude, you have no busines trading more than 1 contract anyway, so for you that's NOT A PROBLEM. the MMs keep a tight enough market, so even though you'll have to pay the bid/ask, you won't get killed on it. (you could bid and offer, but i wouldn't count on getting filled any time soon)
