Jan, >> if I do the zero, then I may not be able to see them so clearly. It's a mental thing? correct? But I do like to try it one time! << I think to trade 1k shares without getting an ulcer I need two conditions. 1- prove to myself that I know what I am doing by building my little account from 40k to 200k by doing small trades and increasing gradually. 2- use rigid stops and quit for the day after a losing trade. But also the larger shares should be done only in extreme conditions. Like when amzn had its mid-day upward reversal today. Or (on the short side) when/if it goes to 180 and gaps up 10 at the open. You can tell I am describing HJ's style. It's obvious he's the master at it. Maybe there are others, but they don't post.
