    Why capital is so important or even critical in successful trading?

    Ahhh I wondered when someone might resort to the delicate matter of OPM and fees. The solution to your question is off my radar I am afraid, as it involves FED/ Banks/ Swaps and a myriad of tricks that I have never heard of. I am only a lowly sole Trader who would never give his money to a...

    Why capital is so important or even critical in successful trading?

    OT, I have always regarded everyone who works for me as special and deserving of respect, no matter what their position and relationship to me. Never has this worked more for me than since I have invested into Argentina and Brazil where my approach is not common to say the least. In...

    Not at all, but in the context of this thread my advice is to build a good relationship with your Broker.He/she has a wealth of knowledge and it is your job to encourage them to share it. For almost all retail Traders lured into the endless wealth of trading it becomes a race, whether they...

    Why capital is so important or even critical in successful trading?

    This can work both ways OT. Too much account and too little brain power can result in death by a 1000 cuts. A smallish account can keep you sharp. An undisclosed problem of inadequate funding rears its ugly head when a newish Trader makes a giant boo boo and then presses the flatten...

    ah, "Turning $5K into $250 by year end" Of course I dare you and I am absolutely certain that you can do it. But why would you want to turn 5 thousand dollars into 250 dollars. Why not just gift 4750 dollars to charity. regards f9
