    Right, OptionCoach !


    You must be a big optimist (dreamer) to believe you can turn 20K into 500K in a year as a newbie.

    Possible, yes, probable ,no

    I would rank the probability of that happening equal to winning the lotery, success anyway :cool:

    If you can end your first year with more than your initial 20 K, you have achieved what most don't achieve

  2. I was a newbie 3 years ago. So, it is possible. It took me 3 years., to go from 20k to 500k. It might take him more or less. I don't know. It might be never...

    Like in every other thing in life, luck helps... That's for sure...
    That being said, besides a short period of time (3 or 4 months) were I lost some money from my initial capital, I was making consistently good money (for me at least) since then. Is it going to last? I think it will. Can I guarantee it? NO!!!

    Cheers

  3. If your are not successful in other persuits in your life, you will probally not be in trading. If you are a 90 lb weakling turned babe magnet, you might have a shot.

  6. O h I remember the Atlas Kid... I used to read Archie Comics and the atlas ad was always in the front.

    But then that 90lb weakling was a teenager and babes was his focus. I am a touch older than that immature little boy and I prefer women.

    Babes are trouble and they will knock you off yer trading game. Women make making the money fun :)

    :p


    For those who are 2 young....

  9. ROFL. My wife and I cracking up. a moderate trading day in stocks and a good day in futures, this is total comedy relief. Nah, I am in my 30's

    definately possible, but not likely.

    Google Tim Sykes.

    Read one of those recommended books about trading, and go ahead start trading if you really wanna give it a shot. Good luck. Just don't complain when you start losing money.
