I definitely worked up to trading that many at a time. I could not ever of had the cojones to do so if I had just traded at home and did not see what I consider the best traders around doing multi stock trading while managing risk effectively at the same time. I even traded more than 30 at a time (70-100) but the market is not really good for that right now and I rather combine better stock picking and more size than spreading it out like that. I exit individual stocks as they break their intraday trend while usually adding others to the "portfolio" until I have the strongest stocks on my blotter. At some point I exit all of my holdings at once based on analysis of the NQ's and wait for another opportunity or perhaps even trade the other direction. Of course this kind of trading does require access to capital and that is why I chose the route I did last year when I traded for a firm (no longer with them). That is also why I had stopped posting here for some time, their compliance people did not let me. Oz
