Today I looked back through all of my 118 trades I have placed over the past 7 months.  I found out that out of the trades that I blindly followed a gurus alert I lost $891.15.   My total losses for trading overall are $3152.76.  That means that 28% of ALL of my losses could have simply been AVOIDED by not JACKALING!   Yes I have made some $$ on following alerts but not as much as my losses.  So if there are any new traders out there.  Please do like @timothysykes says and DON'T FOLLOW ALERTS!
