First Post! 
I started my journey here about a year ago after watching "The Big Short." The way the movie explained the terms and workings of Wall Street made it seem like it was something I could actually learn. The most reassuring thing was even in the turmoil of 2008, there were still people making money with a mechanism I was only vaguely aware of.

After managing to put a little money aside, I started looking at the usual stock methods and found penny stocks, from there I found Tim Sykes youtube page and Tim Grittani's Blog. 

For most of the past month I've been paper trading and watching Sykes youtube channel,  trying to keep my paper trades within what I have saved.  I'm about $100 down on a $1500 paper limit, for as much as I've been over trading, I think I've been pretty lucky.  After taking a break for a couple days to clear my head, I've realized that I should stick to trading morning spikes and get on with my day afterward until I learn more techniques.
