Rick,

<You have to find a way to be hyperactive at every second so that you can hit the good moves>

Don't think you really mean this. The adrenaline rush can be a very dangerous thing as it provides a source for positive reinforcement that has nothing to do with profit or the bottom line.

The system is set up like a video game so that you'll participate aggressively (regardless of whether you make money or not). This is a conscious decision by the broker/dealers. The more you trade, the more money they make.

Alan

Thanks, Rick! I'm printing your post and taping it to my wall. At least I know I'm not the only trader who makes a wee bit at a time. And you're right about the Real Tick and fees as well.

PS: Fifty trades. Sheesh. Maybe I'm undertrading.....
