Cashmoney, Dont let the nesayers get you all riled up ...
IMO it was a healthy way to approach the subject about what to do with your money; ie ask on the forums here.
I'd probably of been in the same boat as you and I would have lost it already.
I didnt read all the posts here but Im sure many people stated that you need to make sure you do well with 1$ before you use 100,000$ (figure of speech).
Paper trading isnt the same either as rl trading (while it does help) nothing brings it to you like the real thing thou.
I dont know your trading style but it sounds like you trade stocks (you swing trading or?)
I forgot how much you have in your personal account ... 15k?
Id leave most of the other money with the broker thou - you dont want your parents hating you and you DEF. dont want to lose it; probably be the only good handout you will get in your life.
So hold onto that.
You already said you are going to give yourself a gift of what 10k
So thats 25k ... more then enough to see what you are made of.
I suggest you set self stops thou; meaning if your account hits 20k then you take a break and go back to the small lots etc ...
