u meen "Barjon the Luddite"

but yer I did prolly get away with more lulz than most... good lulz too.

I thought it was funny, a internet forum full of profitable spreadbetters *ahem* that would put up with so much sh!t from some nonremarkable local like me.
 
How do you feel about it now? Free? Regret?

In trading terms, you are cutting a loss (in time) for what seems to have been a loser. Is this an emotional 'I can't take the pain any longer' exit, have you been thinking about it for a while, is it an unemotional decision?

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

no not cutting a loser at all... trading been great to me to be honest. You know the guy what blows 3 bags at the bar? The guy with the outrageously hot girlfriend? I been that guy. I'm up money > down time, fo sho!

honestly, for so long I thought trading was the way I would accomplish my wildest dreams, but it's only since I dropped it that I can thing of any that excite me.

I will go into more detail but I got some chores to do around the house before this chick comes round

(not the one in the pics)
 
What do you think are the important skills you've gained from trading that you'll take away to your new aspirations?
 
The real Dash Riprock will know his real first initial or his second for that matter. In fact, he'd probably know both...

Anyway Dash - what were your lofty goals from trading?

my first is found in a boat but not in a ship,
you won't find my second in an orange, and not in an apple either.

(I'm confused by the second initial bit because I don't know if you are talking about my middle name?)
 
Howard is a Plonker
(Short Gamma)
Doesn't know his exposure
(short gamma)
No View on volatility
(short gamma)
still trades the same strat!!
 
I liked DashRipRock and another gentleman called Panneta with an avatar of Fonzy.

A bit on the wild side but overall A grade guys (assuming not girls, aliens or DJs).

They were fireworks over a sleepy town like T2W filled with retired folks living the last decade of their lives.
