Sorry, just noticed your question from last week - I've been doing this since 2009, started with $40k. Full time since January '14.

@RyanMac ... the best way get his new tandem trader dvd. start with at least CAD5000

@jollar oh I see...I guess I'll try again later tonight or tomorrow...I was just hoping to finish my app so I could jump in on Monday...but it's ok...no rush..Thanx for the heads up...Hope you're enjoying your weekend :)

@IslandWarrior If you're completely new to this. I would recommend that you paper trade with TDAmeritrade. Their ThinkorSwim platform allows you to use realtime feed and paper money to trade. So, you can make these trades without losing any real money. Try that for at least a month before committing real $. You can lose real money fast and it'll hurt your learning path.

@jollar Thank you for the advice. I have been studying Tim's videos and for about 5 months now and I finally subscribed to his newsletter 2 months ago. However, I think I will take your advice and trade paper for a while until I feel comfortable. That should put me in a better position to analyze and pick good trades and get familiar with the whole transaction operation. Thanx again for the tip cuz you're right. I don't want to hurt my learning by being bitter. I have seen tons of people that ha

happening to traders trading blindly and investing tons of money....
