Rick,
I'm just a trader in training like you, I'm not a PRO ... I'll try to help you as much as I can.
First, please read my posts.

Second, limit your loss with tight stops, maximum 5-10% !!!
Third, set up an initial goal (let's say 5-20% profit per week). Work out/Develop your own strategy. Develop your network of traders you trust, this is the key of my success ! DON'T BE GREEDY !!! I still prefer volatile penny stocks on news, using: www4.techstocks.com
Good Luck, 1stSunRay
PS1: To paraphrase Warren Buffet, "In the short term the market acts as a voting machine. In the long term as a weighing machine". More is made in the sitting than in the thinking ...
PS2: I still use FarSight, but I have to move !
PS3: It's good to try newsletters & books, but USE your inner talent, intuition & discipline ! Don't buy trading systems and too much software ... won't help ... |
