> Yeah, i’m watching CNN right now. Once im a pharmacist and can invest larger amounts day trading will be more lucrative. Right now im just learning the market and trying to make what i can make. This year is going to be a bit of false confidence because im already up 113% on the year with much more to go. If the government is going to pump money into the economy to prevent failure well then im going to take advantage 😉

Depending on what you day trade depends on what your budget needs to be. If you are going to day trade stocks you need at LEAST $10G to start.

I set a profit target of around $300/contract and a stop loss of about $200/contract.

Your budget will drop with different types of trades, Forex, Futures, Stock Options etc. For example with Forex a good recommended beginning balance is only $500 vs. $10,000 for stocks.
