Wise words. Lot of it makes sense. Thanks

I think it has the same rate of failure as in all entrepeneurial fields. After three years most of them are gone. I don't say it's easy to succeed, but if I'd listened to all people telling me how hard everything would be then I'd probably be working on my 15th year as a grocery store...

Thanks, good idea. I got a twitter account, same name as here, but haven't been very active user. I'll check it out.

Thanks for good inputs! I have been trying to see parallells to hunting, but of course fishing is more realistic. I seldom hear about hunters that lose their rifle. But fishing gear I lose frequently :-)

I shall not say for sure that I can stick that long without profits, but I lost my job - so the timing for taking the steps into trading is good. I'm not sure I'd done the same if I had to quit a job that paid me $100k a year. I sort of got help with making that desicion :-)

Thanks for the advice. Anyone who got some thoughts about those trading groups that are online, are there any good ones?

Thanks for all links. It seems that this is the best solution considering price: http://pitrading.com/intraday_ascii_data_stocks_edition.htm Kind regards Espen

Thanks, I already have an account at EODDATA, but I was hoping to find a better solution than paying $450 for 30 months intraday, for those three excanges.

Hi I've been searching for intraday data for NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ. But it seems like all I can find is pretty expensive. I'm trading on my own, and doesn't have access to a large pool of resources for developments. Does anyone have some ideas to how I can get free intraday data...
