Now as far as live or sim. Honestly I think it really doesn't matter if someone is trading live or sim. As long as you treat it the same, and are gaining experience and confidence and continue to improve, then you are doing great. It takes time. And in trading we are always striving to get better, even if we are trading live. The learning never ends and the battle to improve continues forever. Trading in sim is extremely important, and I think there is absolutely no shame in trading in sim, no matter how long it takes for someone to go live. And it is a different amount of time for all. Patience, I have learned is the most important thing for me when it comes to trading. Patience in many ways. We need to be patient to let the trades set up, to let the trades work out, to let our winners run, but also in going live. (I am also learning that patience may be the most important thing in life as well.) No one should ever feel pressure to go live, be patient, in reality all we have is time. So what is my answer to the live/sim question? Honestly it is none of you business. With that being said, I really don't mind you asking. I am mostly SIM. I have been trying to transition to live for a while now, but it seems something always comes up. Unexpected events that keep me from trading for a while, or I make a small change in my trading, or the market starts trading erratically. But all this comes with trading, and we deal with it. I do take some trades live. I have found though that it is very difficult for me to change from sim to live during a trading session, so I try to trade live 1 day a week for now, then back to sim to continue to gain confidence. I am not in a huge hurry, as I am confident it will happen, and the longer I wait the more my confidence grows. It did not trade live at all this week with the increase in vol and volatility in the market. I hope to get back on track next week.
