I'm not sure that is a proper motivation factor for you.
She might need to invert that for good results.
cpfleger . for how many weeks should a trader trade demo . before going live .. i have heard 90 days . but that is too much . is 4 weeks of good profitable data enough to go live ??

Guaranteed only 3 Days and you can order your new Lambo!!!
Crazy question to me.
I started a couple of years ago but only have about one year of of actual full time trading DEMO ( and a couple of blown live account/prop accounts) and I am still just getting to the beginning of being ready to trade Live accounts with real chunks of change.
I watch one guy who has traded for 16 years and traded Demo for 8 years until he could truly prove to himself consistent results.
Cpfleger has been at it for 15 years or so. With the last five being the best.
I feel trading is a much more spiritual practice than people give it credit for. At least if you are consistently trading profitably.
Can you master your emotions? Or are they your primary driver, important to know who is driving because it is real easy to crash at these speeds.
I am currently working on getting past the three 90's. Performance is my master the rest is just noise and BS.
Master performance and profits will follow. I will not be satisfied with anything less than 90%....
On that note no point in listening to me I am still waiting to see my first real profits from this adventure.
Thanks,
