    How much is 'A Good Living'?

    So you want to be a Stock Trader?

    Alright here is a PM from 2many, I was asking about bear markets. In Bear markets I only take a certain number of hits (losses) before I call it a day. In a bull, I tend to keep going all day long. I have less patience in stock selection in a bull because the consequences tend to be less...

    So you want to be a Stock Trader?

    2% is the amount at risk. For a $50,000 account, you wouldn't want to risk more than $1,000 per trade. So if you are stopped out of the position, you don't lose more than $1,000. Your actual position size will depend on where your stop is placed. Are you a swing trader or a day trader? What...

    So you want to be a Stock Trader?

    Haha a bit green? Maybe an understatement. I will be the first to admit that fact. But hey, I didn't join ET to make people believe I was some market wizard. I'm here to learn as much as possible, and occasionally add a sarcastic smart ass comment. For me it isn't about the quick cash, I'm in it...

I have been busy with my job (the one that pays...

    Con-artist? That is still up in the air. But one thing is certain ... you're a f@*#ing moron leveraging your (or someone else's) money that much, especially without stops. Oh what? double down, wait, pray? You don't have much staying power with 10K ... But hey it's someone else's money so who...

    Lost half of my years salary in a week!

    Did you just fall off the turnip truck? Sorry man I think your money is gone, no way in hell I would hand over my $$ to someone I didn't know. Don't give him another cent. This is your first lesson in the market: Cut your losses quickly. Sorry, and good luck.

    Trading and Dating

    Don't know how you deal with that shit ... I would kick her out the door so fast. Women like that most likely have a guy that they fuck and a guy that buys them stuff. Make sure you're not the latter.

    ***my First Post***

    One piece of advice .... Use proper money management, don't let greed take you over. Remember, leverage combined with emotions can work against you ten fold. It can wipe you out faster than you can say "Amaranth".

    How far did you go net negative before you became net positive?

    Thunderdog - Do you feel like sharing with us how much capital you went through? I don't think 10-20K is that far fetched if you're trading 100 shares or 1 lot at a time. P.S. Good idea for a poll.
