Far more luck than skill!

I did pretty well today in paper trading - but it all came down to when I opened the app for the day

It happened to be right when MIRA peaked today and the bulk of my returns (~$2000) came from catching that in time to short it

The rest of the day was largely spent undoing that by building up concentrated positions to gamble on earnings season.

So never feel discouraged if you see the crazy numbers the top folks get! For every person who wins those lotteries, there are thousands who lose you never see! There's no secret knowledge you can't teach yourself out there.

And there's an equally good chance I will end up in the red by the end of the week!
