jeer -- I second that, as stated in my earlier post. You can take a couple 1/8s and 1/4s a day and attain the $5,000/week goal. But even that is not easy, particularly in the beginning, even with Level 2.

Once you're attaining the smaller goals and become more confident -- and more knowledgeable about all the ways your orders can get hosed by E*Trade or whoever -- then stretch-out to bigger trades.

Keeping a conservative attitude will also make you sharper when we wake up one morning and find the "internet mania" is dissipating and we have to go back to making money "the old fashioned way. Earning it!".

Prosperous Trading!

>>> im fighting off the urge to play catch up too soon with everyone else here making huge dollars.

fight very hard ...

for when the speculation ends ... those that are new, and those that don't use stops will learn a hard lesson that will take years to recoup.

I play, I post, I win I lose ... all this with 10% of total equity

Long account (blue chips and quality, slow moving like turtles) 80% of equity
Penny account (no bb'stocks, 1/8 to $3.00 stocks, a cash only account ... which is, btw, down about 30%) 10% of equity
Trading (10 minutes to a week hold) 10%

the following is one of my favorite posts ... recently it cost me, a sell stopped out on NAVR at 8.50 (entry 6.25) gain ... quess it was a little too close :o)... but saved me on CMPL in 18 1/8 stopped out at 17.50 loss
but the post is well worth a print out and memmorization
