I've been paper trading for a month or two now and I've noticed once I treat the paper money like my own money I take it seriously. I take red percentages as red percentages to my account. And so when they're green they feel so good. I've noticed my strategy has improved a lot also so paper trading is definitely the way to reevaluate your trading strategy, and with studying I've got no doubt you'll see a huge improvement in all aspects of your trading. Goodluck!!!

Great post! Yes, timing. Geez! Saw that yesterday with DPW. Keep the studying and learning going!

Absolutely right, timing is everything in trading and one must stay calm while trading. If you start to feel anxious about a trade then there must be something wrong about it. Always listen to that little voice we are told to ignore by others.

You learned three crucial lessons! So you could say it was worth just as much as those small gains that were lost.

@Integra Thank you, I'll do my best to keep it current.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first video and look forward to watching the second one soon. Thank you!

If you're under PDT, you need double discipline. If you even own a Robinhood account, you need a bigger account. Appreciated the honesty, happy trading.

@Hikaru, I've been watching AKER for quite some time now and even decided to do some paper trading with it once you stated this. But until I see bigger price movement that makes me more confident in the stock, I decided I am only out for small wins. Maybe this will be the next big thing, but I am not a long term investor and for now, short term is what I'm comfortable with.

congrats. But don't let $100 or $1000 derail you from making a lot more. by that I mean don't think in a tunnel. play long if you know the payload is there.

congrats

Congratulations!

Thank you all, I appreciate it!
