Get a job for a broker at the pit. You won't make much money, but you aren't risking your own money. You buy/sell when/what you are told. With your own money: buy an index now and hold for 2 or 3 years.
seriously, i think you should find some other jobs that pay a stable salary like in computer, if you have some knowledge of it. the stock market is in turmoil right no, it's hard to make any decend money to support family in this business at this point. work other jobs until the market gets better...if it ever gets better at all.
I am not clear what the problem is your trading not working or The business being a broker is bad? Either way, I am going to say something you do not want to hear. Try to find a job with benefits and a salary. Your family needs you and your income. Sorry bro, if I am the bearer of bad news (well, other have said the same), but I have been through this myself and know that it is hard to work for someone else. I am doing it for my 8-year old daughter nothing else. It is not easy but a sacrifice I must make. If you have a degree try to get a teacher's cert, or work as tech support in IT etc etc.
andrasnm THanks for your input and i agree. I'm just having a problem same as the rest of the country on finding a JOB. I'm know if you do trade your all over the news. Finding a JOB is like Finding the ARK. It can be done and it will be done, but you know as well as i the world as we know it is on its heels. I haven't giving up hope yet. Just looking for the golden key and haven't found it yet. Thanks for your time 10-03-08 10:51 AM I am not clear what the problem is your trading not working or The business being a broker is bad?

Are you f**king kidding me? You make me sick. You can make more in a day than most people of the world makes in months (if not year(s) while producing absolutely nothing and basically being a slimy leech, yet you are too much of a pre-madonna to do so for some of the most shallow reasons. I'm sorry, but it is people & attitudes like this that make me truly ashamed of the general population and its complete lack of humanity. It also makes me happy to see this whole system crumble under its own excrement. P.S. Whether you made $2-$3k a day or $2-$3mil a day, it's obvious that you will never be happy. There are people that would kill for chance to be in your position, there are some that would think they attained bliss if they even got to be in 1/10th of your position. You should watch "Fight Club" and pay close attention to the part where the main character goes to his shrink for "help".
