    Typical Newbie Journal

    Do you mean an average gain of 1.5% per trade or on your total capital per day? Do you realise that if you get to a 1.5% / day average on total capital, that means you'll double your portfolio's worth about every 47 days... That wouldn't be a bad result if you ask me...

    Looking for daytrade stock broker

    Thanks for the quick answer, Tim. I wasn't aware of that limitation, it's very helpful finding these things out in time. Considering the time I put into developing my strategy, I'm not sure I'd want to change it because of the minimum set by the SEC. I think I would also be prepared to put...
