Great post. From personal experience in having traded with a small account of just under $500 I don't see anything wrong with trading the entire amount, as long as you advocate cutting losses quickly and don't greed for mass percentage gains it should be fine. Which obviously most of small account users fail at this unfortunately.

YES YES YES!!!!! Also I 110% agree with never trade sub penny stocks. Thats the opposite end of the spectrum from regular stocks. Neither are predictable, only penny stocks are

@CodyMeek good post thanks for the input. i will definitely bookmark this one because I can see how shorting isvery profitable and one stocks i knew were going down if my broker had shares to short i would have gotten in and profited

Sounds like you just need some support my friend! I have a feeling you're hitting a double bottom and soon you will break resistance and breakout to new highs! Trading is hard, but life is harder. Focus on the important things in your life, be grateful for what you have, take it one day at a time, and keep pushing forward. You got this.

Could not have said it better myself @Abomb41

I usually take on too much at once too. Remember this, the man who chases two rabbits catches none. I definitely feel ya on the work bit, last 2-3 rotations I've gotten killed at work, practically killing my trading opportunities.

@CodyMeek Talking about missing opportunity. I am busy at work since a week for next project release. Working as Software programmer, missed a lot of opportunity just last week. But what we can say, some days for you and some other against you.

@CodyMeek @dtrades so we are all in the same boat. no worries. market always have opportunities comes again and again.

NICE POST!

@CodyMeek did you not understand a word I said.........

@arbi717 lmfao

I like that "Ignorance is not bliss, it's a debt sentence. "

Great inspirational post here. Detailed in the sense that it is really accurate and relatable. "Why in the hell are you going to lose 2k trying to learn the same lesson?" Lol this really spoke to me because I literally spent 2k learning lessons. I started early this year with 1k. Blew it all in 2 days. Started again with another 1k a few months later. I got better but overall still blew it in about 2 weeks that time.

It really does help one to be knowledgable ahead of time and to invest in primetime studying.

I definitely feel like you have to get your feet wet to truly understand trading. However, I definitely made it a point to know as much as I can in that moment in time to execute that trade successfully. My trades have been red, simply because of the way I've been trading. However, percentage gains, 4/6 have been successful. I would not have had this if I didn't put in 100+ hours ahead of time. And that 100 hours is minuscule compared to what is required to truly become successful. Now note this

To sum it up.Don't be a jackass and cut losses quickly.
