Well guys, after more than a year of trying to get market lady to bed, today I finally went all th way. Real trading with real hard earned money. I broke a couple of rules and was not happy about it, but hey give me a break, it is my first day.
For those who think sim and real trading are the same animals, well.... they are not. Emotion, greed, fear and sweaty palms are just the tip of the iceberg when you are doing it"on stage". However, having said that, i think the sim education was invaluable and I would be a sitting duck today if it weren't for my months on the sim, dozen of books and the ET forum.
So guys, this is my last post on the sim thread. I wish all of you the best and happy trading.
As for the result today ...... I took in $422 before comm. HAPPY as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
