Paper Trading to Real Trading-How?

Crawl, walk, run. Start small (# shares or contracts) and if necessary, go smaller until you find a size you are comfortable with. Trade that size until you feel confident, then slowly increase.

Probably that is another problem - pulling the trigger. I am fearful as well. Needs somehow to boost courage and confidence as well. I am meditating on this aspect but still help will be much appreciated. There must be lots of resources on this aspect. . Thanks

The Nikkei mini (N225M) is pretty smooth I'm finding, fast, but smooth. It's 500 yen per tick, but a tick is 5 points in the underlying, so just 100 yen (about $1) per point in the underlying index.


Thanks. Japan markets open 12 midnight to 6 in the morning. I am in UK and unfortunately this is not very convenient. But sometimes I cant sleep and I will come to my computer and observe.
