i'm not sure what the point of having an unrealistic goal like this. you never met any of your prior years' goals, and i'm gonna go out on a limb now and say you won't meet this one. are these wild goals intended to generate a lot of buzz? i guess "taking 410k to 575k by end of 2010" doesn't sound as interesting.

Why strive for less than my worst percentage performance in the last 5 years? Sorry, I strive to beat my best record!

One recently recalled a quote from James Cameron discussing the movie Avatar, which stated, "If you set your goals ridiculously high and it's a failure, you will fail above everyone else's successes."

I don't care if the goal is 2 million, 4 or 8, I'm just looking forward to this thread, the drawdowns and struggles and the success that usually follows them.

Happy trading and good luck accomplishing 4 million

Shooting for very high goals has some advantages as well as disadvantages.

In trading, having a high goal is good, IMO unless it causes you to take unsound risks and works against your performance.

You can use Quotetracker streaming and server APIs for ameritrade. Since their acquisition by Ameritrade, it appears they have developed high-level APIs for Ameritrade that does not call for socket-level programming knowledge. You can e-mail them.
