It didn't go as well as I expected to be honest. I did such a great job paper trading, I found a great pattern that worked for me, I developed some rules and my own system but it wasn't good enough. Obviously I knew real trading wouldn't be like paper trading so I'm not too upset by this.
I ended the month down 38 bucks from three trades. I had a couple more but I broke even on those. 
I was doing good up until my second NADL play. It wasn't entirely my fault, STT crashed right as I decided to get in (talk about worst timing ever). And since then I've been too scared to make plays. In May I'm gonna try taking smaller position sizes to regain my confidence and get back on track. I was worried 3 trades a week wouldn't be enough but boy was I wrong lol.
Find what works next to you and stick with it. Stay away from boredom trades. Also afternoon should just be observed and not played.
Good luck to all and myself for the next month.
Unfortunatly paper trading and real trading are completely different. But You have plater IT safe and not lost much and You are Learning! Remember this is not a sprint - Its a maraton. Keep studying and work hard to Get better each day and You will nail IT eventually!! GL
