    Well at least you have the time to post, some of us are too busy. (10270) posts Kudo's since 2011. From what I gather you do need professional help, you seem to be a bitter individual from perusing a few samples of your posts. There are more than enough political forums where you can shine, and perhaps achieve some success in your life.

    I probably post more than I should.

    Why do people always run to the "you are a failure" argument?

    Everytime this thread topic comes up someone talks about how family members are so unreasonable. It's like in my business forum everytime someone talks about firing an employee, the topic of getting sued for discrimination comes up. 99% of the population are reasonable and rational people.

    No family member is going to say, "you made me 30% last year, but you lost 1% this month so you owe me that 1% from your own account." If in the rare chance they are of that mentality, you should know that and you should not be trading for them.

    Except when it comes to money, and a lot of it.

    Agreed, those specific people are out of my life, permanently. Whenever someone approaches me to manage money, I simply point them to a low cost ETF/Fund tracking the market. If they insist, I tell them I am on a sabbatical. Whenever I meet new people, I never mention trading, I keep a low profile, and I tell them I am an Art Historian/Economist on a Sabbatical.

    Being on a "Sabbatical" works wonders...
