I was up 500% in my first three weeks... the next month I was breaking even. I had no real plan at all, coupled with beginners luck, started taking a punt on whatever market was in the news... oil, copper etc and subsequently and inevitably hit the wall. My inclinations about the market direction were more times than not correct, however, I'm now taking no postitions until I figure out some sort of money management, and taking solace in reading everything by Victor Niederhoffer!

PS, I started buggering about with option straddles and stuff like that which just prolonged the misery.
