Something to aspire to (ideally?) Something needed to pay the bills (I certainly hope not)

Automating this is taking quite a while ... over the past 3 days of paper trading through IB (100 share lots), 1 day of -$200, and 2 days of +$200 each, averaging about 10 trades per day not enough trades per day, but it definitely looks to have a lot of potential
