    A few ,you can't make a living on it, give it at least 1 yr before you can trade any size

    total buying power for a new guy would be approx $30,000

    so if you can do well, they can increase your position, right? or just still keep your position small?

    They will not add to your positions, But after time they slowly allow you to trade more shares
