Snerd & Trader J

I made a plan and set goals on May 1, 1998. My three year plan included goals of (1) learning everything I could about the financial markets (2) learn how to use my trading software and (3) actually make some money. I didn't have a dollar goal in mind, just that I wanted to stay in the black. I started with $30,000. This amount was limited and separate from any long term investments.

I would learn and trade at the same time. I started reading everything I could, attended an investment seminar starting with the basics. I even spent $2500 to attend a two day seminar on options trading. Options are way over my head right now but something I will pursue in the future.

So how am I doing as the first year comes to an end? Well I found out there is a lot to learn about the markets, that my software is very complicated but pretty darn good and I am in the black, very black. I will post my actually results Apr 30.

BTW, I have used CyberTrader since August. It is very difficult to learn all there is about this software and still work full time. When I am able to trade from home, on a few occasions, the software really shines because I have cable modem and two monitors. I can put up charts and watch four stocks at a time. The software will let you watch, charts and real time quotes & sales, up to 8 stocks. Execution and confirmation is very quick and you can track the movement of any number of stocks on a bar graph running red or green. The only other broker I have used for quick trades is Datek. There is no comparison ...Datek is pretty bad. Snerd yours may well be very similar. We pay about the same fees.
