*grin* Ok, I will tomorrow -- I don't know what I was doing today! Part of it is that I can't watch all day due to being at work and the demo doesn't allow a stop/limit order on short positions so I can't have a buy order on both sides, one to protect me from the upside and one for profits. So I end up putting in an order to stop me out and that always hits while my profit targets hit when I'm not looking!

But tomorrow I intend to trade less, so maybe I'll do better :) -- and I will post the trades and why I took 'em. It might actually help 'cause I'd be more careful and try to sound intelligent! And it would be great if Paddy looks at them!

No, it isn't that.

He may be holding a loser too long, for example. Or perhaps putting stops too tight.

Could be anything. But without us seeing what he is doing then he's just going to get discouraged if it's day in, day out of dropping money. Who knows, it could be just bad luck.

One certainly does not want to trade real money if the paper trading is losing money.
