Do not put me in same category Blackcrow as I am a long way from retirement.<G> Hello everyone. On CNN a couple of days ago a Daytrading co. called ALLTECH was briefly featured which caught my attention and described training centres around country for would- be Daytraders. I am interested in getting more experience and therefore the type of thing they offer. Found their website on : www.attain.com and wondered if anyone here has any comments about them. Their courses are 1 month fulltime. $4500,about 10 days lectures 2 weeks papertrading and 1 week realtrading with min.50k account.Stocks only,using their computers ,Attain software .simultaneous 1 and 11 realtime,$20 trades etc.I like that they let you stay on after the course and paper trade or real trade under supervision on their computers until you are comfortable. $For 4500 I would hope so. Any comments in particular about the Attain software(as I wouldnt waste money on course if their software/datafeed deal etc.) was not of a very high standard. Im also interested in any other intensive "hands on" courses like this anywhere in US that will preferably take you right through from the beginning without the presumption that you are already very experienced in TA and trading. Its expensive and obviously theres a lot of hand holding in this particular one but when playing with large amounts of money thats not necessarily a bad thing. If someone thinks Alltech is a big waste of time and money please tell me so and offer other (hands on) alternatives if possible. Thanks in advance. Batgirl.

To Black Crow, Thanks for your input. But, I'm not as "new" as it may have appeared in my post. I have been investing in securities for the past year with pretty good success. I am just trying to take it to the next level. I have worked in the financial arena for a year now, and have my series 7, 63, and 65 licenses. So, I feel pretty confident and I think position trading is just the next step in my evolution. Also, I am only 32 years old, so I can afford to invest aggressively. Wish me luck!
