Here was your best move to date: "Got dumped by my girlfriend twice (but I'm still humping her )...: You are out of the position but still reaping the rewards! And as for your $2,000 to start with account you need to put it in perspective. If this was 1940 you would be the big swinging dick.!
I'm a bit perplexed by the risk/reward ratio Happy trading, but if you don't have the experience already, going paper on IB for a month or two wouldn't hurt. You'll save a lot of money you might otherwise lose that way. Good luck,
Look always at the big picture firstly. How did you pick IVAN? In my opinion trading very low priced stocks is a sure way to lose your money, especially when you're a beginner. Anyway, Good luck! <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1058152>
I agree, you wont be able to make a living off 2k (like myself lol) but you have to start somewhere!. ALL of that money should be risk capital and should not change your life if all is lost. Losing is part of learning..trial and error... unfortunately, losing in this business sometimes means losing lots of money. Dont think of losing as being a failure, but rather look at what you could have done better. - nathan
sold 100 IVAN @2.89 total lost less then 20$ wire some $$ to the account to keep the 2k level. I'll have a look at then futures to see if i find anything good (and that i can afford to manage ...) will update when something new pops up. By the ways, thank you everyone for your comments. IVAN what was i thinking....Well this kind of thinks happen for a reason,so i can learn something about my self .... thank.
Can someone plz explain me the difference between regular trading account (i.e. ib, tradefreedom and so on.) and a spreads account (e.i. finspreads, capitalspreads and so on.) Cuz seems to me that from futures side of view (initale margin, maintenance margin) it seems like little advantage. Plus adding quotetracker to there plaform as a API well... i don't know?
