Ar first your acct will be very small. It is very difficult to actively trade small sums and come out ahead after fees. Not saying it can't be done. Read though my thread on small/mid cap trading to see one way of playing with small amounts of capital. The goal is to grow a small acct exponentially. Since i started the thread i'm up almost 40%. Was closing in on 50 but the last 2 days were not kind.
i could go on and probably will later but its been a long day so i'll cut out for now. Besides, posting from my phone is a pain.
