Although I ended up in the red, I felt alot more confident with my understanding of trading... paper trading provides great insight to real online trading

HailTheApocalypse : don't give up on your confidence if you're intending to stay in the game. every one of us have been there. ya fall down, you feel the pain and you learn the lesson. things don't always work out the way we think or believe they will. good luck to you with your future trades.
