Hi Harrysdog
I wouldn't give up just yet...
Having received personal tuition from Dave attended the Betangel course, you're probably familiar with some profitable techniques.
But with trading, it's said that success is only 20% technical knowledge. If you can honestly say that you've applied what you've learned with complete focus and discipline, and not given in at all to your fear and greed, then perhaps it is time to call it a day. But if you haven't, then why not try applying what you've learned, with small stakes initially? And if you find yourself making a constant profit, gradually increase the stakes?
I would recommend you read a book by a guy called Mark Douglas - Trading in the Zone. This quote sums up what I am ultimately aiming for in my trading:
On any given day, week, or month, the markets make available vast amounts of money to anyone who has the capacity to put on a trade. Since the markets are in constant motion, this money is also constantly flowing, which makes the possibilities for success greatly magnified and seemingly within your grasp. I use the word "seemingly" to make an important distinction between the two groups of traders. For those who have learned how to be consistent, or have broken through what I call the "threshold of consistency,"the money is not only within their grasp; they can virtually take it at will. I'm sure that some will find this statement shocking or difficult to believe, but it is true. There are some limitations, but for the most part, money flows into the accounts of these traders with such ease and effortlessness that it literally boggles most people's minds.
