    prop. newbies: progress reports

    Hi, I've begun trading 100 share lots (with unfair $.01/share commissions to start) for a few weeks now. I'm only in 1 or 2 positions at a time (so therefore I use only about $10K of my $60K buying power on average). Still, I trade approx. 8,500 shares a day... way too much. I did...
