Helicopter ATP (that and $1.85 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks) and multi commercial. But haven't flown for a couple years so while I could probably get us there in one piece on a sunny day it might get sporty if things went south at all. It is interesting that you never have to renew your pilots license, just your medical, although there is the biennial flight review.

If you can fly a helicopter, you can fly anything else that has wings. I've got no worries there then.

Most of us are fine folks in RL. Online forums rip out our soul and turn us into demons at times.

I'm not.

Sure you are. Your nick belies your desire for peace in your head. Means yer an ok folk. I'm feeling weird now because I crave mozz sticks and donuts. I'm starting to slip into the night coma of, "I made a tiny bit o' money in the market, let me bury my misery in shitty food.". BRB, the mozz stick place closes in 30 mins.

And the Magnetic whale art commercial keeps running around in my head. Glad I got a large mozz stick order.

So I am not clear: were you upset that you made not enough money or are you celebrating because you had a big win?

The former. I had a win, but in a micro it means shit. This is why I am glad I got a large mozz stick order, so I can make myself fat for being a dumbass in my trading since, ohh, last month or so. Micros. They are a kind of poison. In a way.

I need more magnetic whale art.

Also, I really anally went over all my back testing and only 20% of the trades are responsible for the majority of returns.

So on a daily basis, I'm happy if I eke out a few $ but the big $$$$$$$$$$$$$ days are (so far) few (one) and far in between.

Yes, this is one of the psych issues I am trying to solve in my trading. I was like this before I ever encountered trading. But I try to have fun with it, "to lift up my attitude." It is rough.
