I feel for you man but just remember that most successful traders blow up their first 1 or 2 accounts before figuring this thing out. I hope you decide to stick with it after all of your efforts and after the valuable lessons you've learned. Just think about how much encouragement you can provide to someone a few years down the road when you're a success and they're in the same position that you're in right now. I wish you the best no matter what you decide to do.

Be careful with margin in general. It's like you have a credit card and you leave it unattended in a shopping mall accidentally. Before you even realize you're without it, you could possibly be down 5-10 thousand from some lucky asshole who took advantage of it. In hindsight, protect your credit with your life.

@kenson90 Thank you, but dont think that loss didnt hurt, cause IT DID !!! Just learned quickly that I can not predict or wish the market to do what I want it to do. Tim G in his trading style hides his profits so he doesn't make decisions based on them and only trades the charts. Im finding that helps me considerably to do the same thing.

It's so encouraging to come up on your page and read your blogs, I added you about a week ago, follow and watch your profits as it encourages me, and it's also nice to see chick traders on this platform.

@buffaloish Ye.. but i've been in this for a year now! It's really frustrating when you let your emotions ride you... sign. This is good though. Gets me back to basics

@nelsdawgy Yea emotions, pride and stubborness are what is killing me. I'm trying paper trading and robinhood with only $100 to concentrate more on technical stuff than making big profits. Hoping it will help put me in check

I'm sure you do this already but review your trades and go over what you think you did wrong. Fine tune your method and over time hopefully you will improve. We've all been there. Good luck.

Nels, your trades can be a learning experience for many of us.
