Not contending with price slippage when paper trading? I’m using Webull for papering. There are times when my paper trade goes through in about 2-3 seconds but usually it takes somewhere around 5-10 seconds to finally get in. Sometimes I can’t even get in because it takes so long that the price is already in Alaska.
And emotional burden? Hmmm. I guess people are different. I tend to sweat, my heart is beating in my throat and if I don’t profit, or just end up making under 50 bucks a day I get really depressed and have to lay down. How’s this not “emotional burden”? I’m treating it as if my life depended on it because that’s what it’s going to be once (if ever) I will manage to open a real account. I get most people don’t take it seriously. I am not “most” people.
