    There's nothing wrong with paper trading while you figure out who to not listen to. Remember, any failed mug, as well as unscrupulous sales people can post advice on the internets.

    I'm New

    Go back to paper trading until your questions are answered, and your paper success could buy a lifetime supply of paper hookers, booze & bling.
