absolutely rolling on the floor here - cos being honest is the first step to making money

I am going to.

Well, I've lost money (~40$ CDN) trading on mini-mini even though I had a system. After that I have hit the books, charts and so on... I've never to my knowledge not have put in stop loss or moved it back (unless I've set it in error). That is why I am so crazy, looking and asking too many questions...

getting into the spirit, I put "near breakeven". Since I started ... hmm ... 4 months ago? ... I've wobbled between +8% and -6%, currently about -3%. Admittedly, I've had long periods of inactivity. But clearly I haven't found the holy grail yet

here's my two cents

I started trading for a bank in 1992, knew nothing(have a university degree in Finance which proves my point) started trading slowly , small positions made 30-40k a month, on 500k ot one million dollar positions hence taking 15-20 pips per day based on one million, my point is that this takes time, 100% per month is a nice utopia to aim for but here's some food for thought, most interbank traders hav e 5-10 million positions at a time, try to take 4-8 pips per trade, etc...goal is to make 2-3 million a year, and they'll be considered well within their bank. My point is try to be net positive, gauge success by your own standards, I consider myself successful because i am doing what I love, on more or less my own terms, make a comfortable living and I'll probably retire early enough to enjoy everything that life offers. The goal is to be comfortable with onesself, dont try to impress anyone and be happy to be doing what you love the best (workwise) Good luck to all, keep trading!!!

lol, the bulls are certainly making something, I can smell it from here

I think a lot of it is wishful thinking going by some of the stuff posted on these forums....

That's inspiring to know, I want to reach that level, is it possible for me...eventhough I have next to nothing financially?

Making 10~30% a month for the last 1.5 years. One need good education and need to read a lots of books and practice a lot before they success in the market.
