wrong, i could triple my size tomorrow if i wanted, but that would be going against my sizing plan. a tick for me is worth $1000. average volitality for the day is 5 - 7 ticks. now for a stock trader trading thousand lots you need a full point move to make $1000 which would equate to...

hitman - i'm on pace for 150k this year. i fully expect to make 500k next year. actually, i should get to the 500k pace per year by aug/sept. right now i have the luxury that my size can triple and it won't affect my fills or style of trading. i just have to deal with the emotional aspect...

hitman - i agree and disagree with what you said. extrapolating by saying well i make x trading y shares, so i should make 2x trading 2y shares is setting yourself up for disaster. agree with you on this. however, i think trading size depends on three things. market liquidity...

tausigs probably worked in a corporation's finance department as a financial analyst working on budgeting, revenue/expense variance analysis, etc. no license needed for that.

do you want to trade because you got laid-off or have you always wanted to trade and now because you got laid-off it's time to pursue this business?
