If you're anything like me (which perhaps you're nothing like me, who knows ) it could be those same emotions are subconsciously saying "Dude, drop 50K in that account, you can make the 14K you lost last month back in no time if you increase your account size!".

I don't know, just my two cents. If you got the skillz, take it easy and hone them, you don't need to be a millionaire by the end of the year.
lol I appreciate your concern... but no I'm more then confidant. As caution though I have only placed 50k of the original 100k I was going to put into trade. As for the loss in the previous account.. lol Remember I started April with 4.8k ended the month with 16.5k and went up to 24k in the first week of the next month... Ending the month of march at 10k after losing in 14k in one day on very stupid trades and not following my rules. As a result, from 4.8k to 10k still left over... that's still over 100% return I've held on to in 2 months... which I will never see by placing my money in any bank account. All in all, I look forward to you seeing the outcome of this account. I am confident and more then ready for this. By the way... did you not notice my leave of absence to remove all those emotions lol.. I know that a month's break was enough.
