Thanks for being fully transparent. So much "Twitter success" (what I refer to it as) can breed discouragement when you personally feel the sting of losses while not having peers to relate to. Wins help with motivation, but losses help with encouragement in the inevitable hard times. I'm clawing my way towards consistency with small size right now. Can be hard at times. Not that I ever wish losses on anyone, but to pretend they don't happen would be naive. Thank you. I wish you the best moving f

Hey man. I really appreciate the honesty in this post. I'm also a new trader and it has been pretty tough for me to make gains as well. I also started out as a TimSykes silver subscriber. I watched a few of his videos, and I subscribed to his chat room for 2 months. I found it hard to get good entries into a lot of the stocks posted in the chat room, because, by the time the plays were posted, those stocks were already spiking. So doing your own DD is crucial for success,or you'll end up being a

..bag holder for traders who got in early. I'm not knocking Tim's services, though.

Don't get discouraged. I was down $6K and took the time to study and paper trade. Find a strategy that worked and then it all clicked. Keep plugging away and it will get better.

That is a good point. I was thinking about exactly that and I came up with a strategy for practicing good habits. I was thinking that I would start taking random positions on the paper account. Then practice loss management and sizing out.

I'm running with a baby account and got into this one without being able to watch it. I had a 60% loser on 43 shares. I'm happy to be getting these mistakes out of the way on very little money. I was too anxious to trade and didn't trust myself. I knew it didn't feel right and still jumped in.
