Why???? Because after reading up for more than a year, being positive on a sim for more than 4 months I think I need to go live?? I would say that most of the people on ET have gone live way before that. Be that as it may, what do you suggest? I am open to ideas. Like I stated before, I am profitable on ths sim, every day. I stick to most of my rules. I have a written plan, rules and regulations. The three rules I sometimes do not follow are:
1. Size - I cannot stick to 1 contract and sometimes when I see that the market is going to move I put 5 or even 10 contracts in play. So far I have been right almost all the time.
2. Stop Loss - Since many a time, I only go for 1 point in the market I get taken out of a play often, so I have to place it at 3 points to stay in the game. So far it has not come back to bite me, but I am afraid that it might once I start live trading.
3. Overtrading - I feel that I need to be in all the time. Of course I am not in all the time, but the desire is there. Consequently, I sometimes take trades that are more risky and that I would not take if more contracts were at play.
Other than those three, I am rock solid.
Btw. No offence taken!
