if they get kids scalpin for a penny on low commish, it really won't be that hard, or that risky.
Now getting them to "actually trade", whatever that is supposed to mean, is probably more of a task.
I can see why daytrading gets this "95 percent" failure rate after watching a high volume penny scalper vs. a low volume swing trader playing things like VLO, BRCM, GOOG, ect.
I think the latter is a lot riskier, and much harder to teach. Although in honest, swing trader is a lot more exciting and potentially profitable from those I've seen do it.
I wonder which style, if any, they will promote.
