I'll let you know. Hopefully I'll be posting my trade stats to my trading log. Then I may post my live account cash balance screen shots, (with the account number erased). I'm not saying that I can make any money at all. All I'm saying is, if I actually do make a claim, I'll try to provide evidence of how good or bad I am.

Re: OPM - Other People's Money

Tradewinds you have the same my thought,i ever thought that if a trader work whit OPM like an istitutional traders he have surelly less fear.long life and no stress.And successively he can aquire a good security for personal trade.?,I think that for this traders is a vantage to begining to trade inside a istitutional world confront a trader who works alone or in a small group,but i think also that have more turn up.psychologically they can form or a big self-control and security to operate or sudden if for example they for some reason stop to work here and decide to trade alone can started after many time a fear path because they must trade with own money.in any way the fear before or later we'll meet .better don't have fear to the fear,because otherwise can become a internal fight with our problem,anxiety,weakness, and we don't needed of this..

Re: OPM - Other People's Money

Doesn't it depend which way round your success comes? If you are successful with your money then trade OPM the stress is definitely more. For many though it is the other way around.

Surelly.i only take for example who begining his career inside an istitutional world,sure for who started alone or in a little sim will be more able and would have less fear to trade with OPM.

Very true - some trade better with a salary and OPM and cant handle the stress of running their own money. Others hate the idea of being responsible for OPM. Horses for courses.
The best guys - and there are plenty of these around, are those that use OPM to make plenty for themselves and none for the OP.
