I am really basking in the feeling of joy and gratitude.
I wish I had jumped from the CFD (more like BFD - BS For Difference) ship many years ago.
It wasn't that I couldn't trade.
It was the brokers who were trading against and profiting off their losing clients.
If anyone reading this has ever only traded CFDs at a "broker" (bucket shop), just take a leap of faith and trade futures.
It is still risky and yes, you can lose more than what you invest, but just do it.
Don't think, just do. (Tom Cruise in Top Gun). Use your gut (Curtis Faith).
Give yourself the chance to live your dream.
If money is tight, why not try out an evaluation from Apex Trader Funding? They are running massive promo at the moment.
If you don't bet, you can't win. Sound familiar? ES Jedi's favourite quote.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?

Hi @
ES Jedi ,
I enjoy your posts.
One thing I have noticed -- you type the phrase "If you don't bet, you can't win" at the bottom of every post.
Did you know that you can add that as a "signature," which wiil automatically show it at the foot of every post you make, set off with a different color background, like the quote from Cervantes at the bottom of my post here. No typing.
If interested, go to "UserCP" (for "Control Panel") at the top of every page. Click there, then under "Settings and Options" click "Edit Signature" and type it in. You can also add an image under Signature Picture if you want, and then Preview and Save.
Bob.
Thanks I thought I did that must have done it wrong
If you don't bet, you can't win.
