Yep i saw it, 100% accurate, also most of the trading is being done outside of the TSX V on "alternative exchanges" and dark volume

What is TSX V

What is TSX V

The TMX Group owns and operates two exchanges, the TSX is the market for senior issuers. The TSX-V is the market for more junior issuers that have not yet met the requirements for listing on the TSX.
A third exchange in Canada, the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”), is operated by CNSX Markets Inc.

Well almost 8 years, since i wrote this post.

still alive but barely.

that huge loss last year really crushed me and the TSX venture is slowly dying.

last year was my first losing year in 12 years and I'm pretty flat this year so not looking great.

Having lots of expenses doesn't help either.

i stopped trading the ASX, I was making a small profit but couldn't scale it and it was too much work trading both time zones.

im working on a short only strategy for the tsx venture but the fees are outrageous.

i still have some fight in me but its getting harder.

take care Jabronis and il update you in another year!!

Hat off to you for hanging in there for 8 years. You have demonstrated to us, but more important to yourself that you have the passion and persistence to succeed.

I look forward to your future success.

It takes guts to make a post like this.

Yours is a cautionary tale for all traders. One is only as successful as one's next trade. Flat years and even losing years are always out there, taking big risks eventually comes home to roost. Take money off the table (as in, out of the markets entirely) whenever you can.
