That would have been my entire capital I opened with. 3000 to me would have been devastating. Luckily I kept it to just a 1/3... still bad though. Not expected at all. apparently I have lots more to learn than I thought.

What the hell is happening at us stock markets at this moment? Crazy rally up.

FSA (U.K.'s version of the SEC) banned short-selling of financial firms. Given the international coordination that is obvious, traders are speculating that it's only a matter of time before our domestic agencies announce something similar.

Does anyone use VT Trader here? How the heck do you draw Fibs there? No tool?
Go to the arrow icon at the bottom of the chart that says select. Click on the type of fib you wish to draw, click, point, drag and release.

DD9, this would be a very good time for you to stop looking at charts for a couple days... Instead go back to your past trades, recompute them at a level that assumes you had used reasonable MM in the first place... same entries but with proper lot sizes and stop losses that reflect 1-2% account risk.

It's one thing to say "should have used proper MM and I will next time" and it's another thing to see the actual numbers, and where your account would have been today instead of where it is. Hang in there.

Consider withdrawing or setting aside a good portion of the remainder before you do go live again. 3 x $500 gives you 3 separate margin calls instead of one whopper MC... Some brokers allow you to do that without actually withdrawing it, they put it on hold or something. For now, and given your rocky start, it might be better off being hard to get to... Just my 1.618 pips.

DEMO for a few days.

I do it. It regains your confidence. If I have a few consecutive losing days, I demo. I've been there and will be there again.

I still don't understand why stocks went up, this should only lead even more people take shorts before this idiocy is declared.

Not trading at all works too. You need to schedule days to not do anything...hard as heck though, when there is money to be made .

I think it would. It would be downhill from here. Doesn't seem that price would rise.

I learn 3 things today.
1) Price would have much reaction to S/R more then M points.
2) Prior to London open R1/S1 has no affect to bull run or bear dive
3) After London open, price bounce or get thrown back from support/resistance more effective. Previous day high/low close/open will have some resistance/support to price action but normally price would pass them by in time.

Tom Demark Trendline works only at 15min but best at 5min or 1min trend.

Still demoing a few days before returning to trades really has helped me.

It also let's you check if your trading strategies and system are valid.
