Thanks Hippo for recommending this board.
I guess I can start with the standard "I just cant understand it, I follow the rules, learned from my mistakes, do appropriate DD and I just can't seem to make any money"
I have been trading for approximately 2+ years and have tried to soak up as much information along the way as I could, but I just keep loosing money. My BIGGEST problem is trust. I give it away too easily. I see how excited posters are on a board and no obvious down side and I jump in head first only to find out I was lied to and just bought a huge chunk of shit. I have made 2 legitimate friends in ihub and we communicate via telephone a least once a week, they sometimes suffer from the same affliction. Problem is they are both retired and have all day to research and react to the market. I on the other hand have a wife, 18 month old daughter, full time job and attend school at night, I just want to do right by my amazing family and my current wage wont give them the life I think they deserve, I want better for them. Please keep in mind I NEVER trade with money I can't afford to loose, rent is paid, tummy's are full and little girl has a bigger wardrobe than Paris Hilton so the standards are good.
Now as far as the steps above I can honestly say I follow them, but in the MONSTER potential in penny and sub-penny land my eyes light up and I read posts as if they were gospil.
Ironically I have been sober for 3+ years so admitting I need help is nothing new to me.
I thought I found the ideal situation in the NEWBIES board which eliminates the greed emotion, but im getting too impatient, been there over 2 months on my first trade and nothing so far.
So that's it I guess, my apologies once again to the VIOS board for loosing it.
