You must be referring to my use of 'my friend,' for which I apologize if it felt like patronizing. The rest of the post was meant as a courteous observation of a fact. You see, it is hard letting go of the emotional and psychological, not only in trading.

Cheers and much success!

I'm in a fortunate/unfortunate position in that I have been medically retired on the basis that I have had cancer 9 times. This means that my pension and my wifes salary cover our essentials (mortgage etc) and anything I make is beer tokens for the weekend so i'm quite content if I am making £10 per day from trading. My only problem is that I am still very much a novice and still trying to find my way of making £10 per day.

Any advice or suggestions are most appreciated.

Sorry if this is a thread hijack.

Thanks

Sorry to hear your medical mishaps, but I gotta say you are quite a survivor.

In the link below I have info on the way I trade. While definitely not available on a beer token budget, it may give you a basis for papertrading. Then, a few months down the line, if you can spare $1,000 - $5,000 you may jump in and make something around your target with moderated risk.

Thank you for the reply. As I say, it really is appreciated. $1000 isn't a problem (JN Financial lost my £5k within 2 weeks that I "invested" earlier this year). I'll have a closer look over your link a bit later and take it on board and see if I can put it into practice.

Thanks again for your reply.

This may also be of interest - http://www.trade2win.com/boards/us-s...g-markets.html
I personally don't drink beer so I will need to make more than £10 a day!
