Attaboy. Thanks for the post. I am inspired by your transparency. Love it.

Been really digging your trade review podcasts with reverselong, you're gonna bounce back from this.

great post thanks

good for you to take a step back. Some of my biggest losses were when I was trading while preoccupied by household problems that required my attention.

Love how you found your own strategy completely different from a bunch of folks on here and stuck with it.

@BBaccSoon thanks!

@SeanLacap Love how you decided to share your aha moment right when it clicks. I've blown up as well and took a 2 year break before finding the challenge. Been tracking my trades by setups in Excel and have narrowed down my trading to 2 setups. I had a small starting capital so my gains have also been small, but you’ve confirmed that my process is correct and I just need more screen time/experience. Thank you for these blog posts, and for answering my question in chat re: $TRTC that led me here

@taiwan I do remember your question regarding $TRTC. Today was such a slow and red day. We were all searching for plays that were non-existent today. Your process sounds a lot like mine at the moment. Just need more screen time like you say!

@SeanLacap hey Sean great post please let me know how can I join Canadian challenge community. I am from Canada as well.

Watching And Analyzing!

done

Badass sir

What a story.

Thank you Jack lately I have bleeding a small account getting caught in offerings. Mentally devastating, especially now that I am down to 1500.00 bucks. Too be totally honest with you I stepped away from this room for several years looking for the next great guru and going nowhere fast. So a couple of weeks ago I had this thought and I do not want to give up although I thought about several times too much and time invested so that is not an option either. My point is that I came back to the room

I guess I got too long winded basically wanted to say thank you Jack and Thank you Uncle Larry Stick with it

Thank you Ellis

Thanks Ellis

Hello

your trading going well?

What a positive stuff ! Big respect for that!

No question that the self accountability and creating good life habits outside of markets hours leads to better discipline within them, appreciate it as always!!

Thank you Ellis

Thank you Ellis

also, tradervue is best to disect stats and go over trades fyi

@reverselong Ye I love Tradervue, definitely worth the money. Sometimes when trading small I like to use gross since commissions might give you a distorted view of your performance.

@BBaccSoon yes, that is true. however if you are spending too much on commissions but improving with trading, maybe gotta switch the brokers up. for example, if going long maybe you trade with brokers that have free commissions. Also with shorting Trade zero sucks. if you hold over night with trade zero, its like $300/night. gotta be aware and keep track of slippage as it does eat up unnecessarily.

@reverselong Ye I wanted to hop on etrade but unfortunately they don't operate in Canada. Even IB Lite is only for U.S. customers. I will keep that in mind for Trade Zero, thanks. I did open an account there a few months back but was waiting until I had more capital to fund it to short tickers I wouldn't be able to with IB. But based on that it seems best to just wait until I have enough to go with a broker like Cobra or Centerpoint.
