tampa,
couldn't have said it better! _BUT_,
jedi,
Iff (if and only if) you are going to these things to learn, and in your heart you _KNOW_ that this is not the way you want to trade, mostly because you are ashamed of it, but you do need to make money, then go for a month or two and get it out of your system. But then, try trading on your own for at least as long as you gave a chat room, and no peeking.
To quote Don Bright, trading is as simple or as hard as you make it. I believe that you can learn to trade in a month, then learn to break even in six. If you can do this on your own, you _WILL_ succeed as long as you want it bad. If after six months to a year of _FULL_TIME_ trading, you don't get it, reasses your decision to make a living from the markets.
I know of people that have made million(s) two or three times, blown it all, came back, then "got it." This was their way of getting it - yours is as personal as the unique person that you are.
