Thank you John Papa, i appreciate you taking time to share your journey.. i feel encouraged by it..

Thanks for the post man...It gives me a bit of encouragement that I just need to be more disciplined.

Appreciate this post brother. Thanks for sharing!

I was wondering what is your thoughts on paper trading? Or have you done paper trading during your journey to becoming profitable?

The majority of my total dollar loss so far has come from a handful of trades -- one from being stuck in an offering, like you mentioned, after not cutting losses quickly. I even got a second chance to take a much smaller loss, and decided to hold o/n to avoid a "wasted" day trade. Very costly mistake. Thank you for sharing your story with us!

nice!

Thanks for all the great information. Would you consider posting a watchlist once in a while as you have before? Just so we can all compare to yours. Of course not always but I would really appreciate even one watchlist

@nedirame Sure I can post a watchlist every so often

@JeepTrader WE WILL NOT FAIL!

@papajohn PAPA JOHHHNNNNN we will speak soon!

We will not fail!

@Clovis YES

what pattern do u look for when going long?

@Miggy I buy breakouts.

Nice post! If your using a macbook I think you can record self and screen with quicktime, Here is a link to follow: https://macreports.com/record-face-screen-mac/

@DM4BigD thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for

@TheFirstLadyOfTea well put!

@papajohn Thank you for your honest and humble analysis of your situation. Glad to be on this journey with people like you.

Kudos to you. I probably would have quit seeing such a drawdown. Thanks for sharing your fighting mentality!

Can you post the link to your pod cast

looks great!

I look forward to you letting us know how the TV works out, I can't decide what I want to do next but being able to see more charts would be nice!

Great post. Learned from this John thank you. And nice screen you have there!

Nice post. Keep up the good work. Was watching HTMM DVD and came across PolisB who Tim references in this DVD who at the time thought would be his next millionaire student. It appears this guy went up quickly to 200k then dropped to 100k. Something I will def learn from is that everyone is suseptible to losing no matter where they are. Wishing you a good wk going fwd.

Plenty of additional info on the net..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_criterion

@OceanRider If you aren't ready to go that big, use fractional kelly for now. Maybe 3/4 or 1/2 or whatever size feels comfortable to you.

I love that Kelly is about using a system and making things more mechanical. Thank you again for sharing this.

Wow, I love the detailed information here...Thank you and you will make the money back plus plus ;)

@Clovis yep for sure. I already have. I’m at new all time highs now.

Awesome! I just need to turn my chart around like you did...lol

trust me when I say be patient, I learn that I was overtrading just to trade, I was making charts to look like I wanted them to look and not allow the truth to be told. I spent about 100hrs just watch the tim video's and just stop trading. I also sold all my stock at a neg or maybe a small gain, but mostly at a neg. Hard to see that money go down the drain. Study and find your style. most of all do not follow or chase the chat rooms picks. 99.9% of the time they ae in the stock that they mentio

$INNV is coming right into a lot of older resistance that would keep me away from that one. $BYOC looks nice. I would want to see a few days of consolidation right around .15 before buying a breakout just because it has had a lot of green days leading up to today. And I just looked at the charts so if I were to play them I would have to look into things like sector, float, sec filings and recent news which I didn’t look at.

You are stellar!

@JKelly lol. Yeah I considered CP but I think I will wait until I am shorting more before I try them out. It looks like they have a lot of fees for just about everything and since I mainly go long, IB should offer me everything I need.

Congrats - very inspiring to see your success!

Awesome!
