Quote from saxon22:
You need a lot more than 5K to properly trade period. Playing with such a small account will get your financial neck bone disconnected. Learn and practice all you can. Save 50K and then perhaps it could be done. Playing with couple grand, or cc financing will just get you mentally raped by the markets.
Why not a $2K futures account trading 1 ES contract at a time with a $500 margin broker?
