You were never a trader anyhow. You were/are a
Gambling Addict. Don't try to scare off all the noobs who (hopefully) aren't as inept as you. You're not a trader anymore, so leave (you've been here all of a week anyhow). If you want support, go cry in the Psychology forum. If you want to learn from your mistakes (note the plural pronunciation) then spend your time reading the vast amount of posts and threads at your disposal here on ET. Just don't go around whining like we should feel sorry for you, the people who make it don't feel a bit of empathy for you (not because you lost big, but because you are a
Gambling Addict). This is a tough game, but it's all about winning, and sometimes that means taking money from suckers like you. It has been said that by taking a position, any position, what every trader is really saying is "the guy who just sold to me is an idiot." Unfortunately,
someone in the stock market
has to be an idiot. You lost $400,000 in under two months. You are an idiot (a
Gambling Idiot at that) and you deserve no sympathy. I don't care if you stick to your own thread "I lost 400k..." and bitch about how trading is a game that can't be won, whatever, just don't go spreading your filth over the rest of the board. Leave it to the people who like to hear horror stories, not others who are here to learn or share positive thinking.

A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place."
All that being said... I'm on vacation until August, unless we hit some major volatile trends consistently, then I'll pick up where I left off...
Winning.
