I recall starting out doing 100 shares also and had no trouble. But my first few 1000 share trades that went against me were tough to handle. And more than once I bailed when the pain got to be too much. Over the past few years I've learned to allow a trade to go against me a bit more as my capital increased (I'm not a pure daytrader, 65% swing trades and 35% day trades). But handling the emotions is probably the biggest, and most important aspect of trading, at least for me. Dave
