"....but in the back of my mind I still think I can do this, and I don't want this to beat me!"

Jeff,

I said that exact same thing for darn near two years. And it beat me anyway, in addition to wasting about half my trading account in the process. Had I given up on it sooner, I'd be way ahead.

I truly believe there are reasons why most traders cannot win consistently over time with daytrading, and the reasons have little or nothing to do with one's being intelligent. In fact, I believe the intelligent ones see early on that it's a loser's game, not unlike the casinos in Vegas.

Bill
