Nice way of putting it Iron,

I've never done it myself but
I think paper trading is great for learning the mechanics of trading~ working off charts, placing orders, reading L2 all simultaneously, building a kind of system or plan
to feel comfortable with.
but when there's your $ on the line it's whole different ball game!

I remember my first couple trades, wasn't that long ago~ my foots tappin a mile a minute, chewing gum like it's going out of style!!
Sat there stairing at a 3min line chart! Thank God that didn't last long, I'd be broke!! I didn't have ATM or Ihub back then, just
jumped right in, wich is a very bad idea!



P.S. Worked around you guys for 10 years or so mostly setting forms, pouring mud, even tied my fair share of steel at heights. But
always cliped in.
Could never do what you guy's do.

Thanks iron -

what a SUPER analogy!
And a nice "wake up call" to the vets who've done this a while to remember what it is like to be new at it - will try hard to take that into my thinking for the board...thanks again bud!
