Lucky;
I believe I read you did not post your actual account as it may affect psychology. Is this correct?

 

[luckyputanski]

No, that's my actual account. I decided to trade with big risk hoping for big rewards. My psychology is not affected, I'm quite detached from money, that's why I started this journal.

Quote from luckyputanski:

Actually this one is sim for the purpose of this journal, but I have almost the same real where I trade futures and options for Polish stock index as well.

Then, what does this mean?

Value of this account and value of my real account is about the same (I'm profitable with Polish options, not profitable with futures).

I don't want to question your reasoning too much but phsycology involves a lot more than just attachment to money.
