Every thread I see in this forum is specifically about problems relating to the technical end of trading.
But -my- biggest problem isn't systems or indicators or testing--it's how I can realistically put that knowledge to work when I'm ready to go live.
I am penniless. I have zero family support. My friends are all as broke as I am. I graduated college with honours, but hundreds of job applications don't even get me calls-back; even if I did get a job in this economy, it would pay me so little I'd barely manage the rent (which I'm behind on), my medical bills (which I'm neglecting), and food (which I eat little of). It wouldn't result in savings.
I have no credit. The bank says I cannot -get- credit on such a time frame where I'm not likely to go homeless in the meantime. I've been staring the streets in the face for years now. I survive on the grace of a landlord who is getting foreclosed on. There's no one to co-sign on a business loan with me or a credit card so that I can build enough credit to -get- a business loan. I've attempted to sell my art, which is my only other skill; that's not working either.
In this economy, I -cannot- be the only person in this situation, and I am certain that even before this, some of you had to have been in my position once. I am desperate some days, and completely terrified most.
How did you get over this phase if you were in it? How did you smash down the walls and get started?
All I want is to make the kind of money where I can live my life as I choose, with real freedom - and the kind of money where I can help others to live -their- dreams by giving them the capital they need. But I cannot for the life of me seem to find anyone who can help me out in the same situation.
