With that size of an account your a trading addict if your still trading rather than investing, and enjoying other things in life. That is not fair nor is it correct. I happen to know from when we met that what you really like to do more than anything else is the Fly Fish. Hence the SI handle Fly Fish Trader (FFTRADER). So I suppose you rather be flyfishing than trading. Well some people get more reward out of outsmarting another person than outsmarting a fish. The money made in trading is merely a symptom of good trading and not the final goal. Some people really do enjoy this business (as do I) and to refer to them as addicts is not fair. OZ

fftrader, Your statement assumes that the only reason anyone would trade is to make money or fulfull the desires of our demons. And while it is true that none of us could continue to trade if we did not make money, its also true that many of us enjoy trading for a number of reasons aside from the money. The money is great once you get the hang of it, but there is really only so much that matters. I enjoy the competitive aspect of trading, I also enjoy the aspect of figuring out a large puzzle. Its kind of like an Encyclopedia Brown mystery with money. Just my thoughts. Brandon
