    How did you learn how to trade?

    I'm losing money and can't stop. How do you be patient?

    Question for brokers on margins and cash

    You're account balance into the close would be $9k. When the market reopens your account will still be at $9k unless your positions moves into profit or further against you? Lol you might just want to try a demo account buddy.

    Account size

    Depending if you are looking to day trade or hold positions overnight. If you hold positions overnight you will need full initial margin per contract. Day trading, I say at least $2500.00, swing trading (holding positions overnight) I say at least $5-$10K. Just my opinion
