  1. That's a good advice using a small portion to build up some profits , once there's drawdown of more than 15% it will be really hard to get back

  3. Yes I would definitely start with a small portion of money, are your trading equities or futures?

    Just remember for every percentage you lose you need to earn twice as much to get even. Losing 20% leads to having to gain 40% for break even. So limit your risk/loss the best you can.

    Um, no, you need to make 25% after the 20% loss to go back to break even.

    Silly maths errors like this really need to be sorted out if you want a chance to be in the 10%.

  7. That's correct. I think the example I was looking for was 100->50->100...Which would be lose 50% only to need 100% for break even. And it only gets worse as you lose more.

    Not meant to advise you, but to educate myself. What's your plan for on-the-go security? Anyone?

    Unlike home WiFi networks, the vast majority of public WiFi hotspots don't encrypt the data being transmitted through them. Therefore, when you connect to a hotspot, everything from your email and your bank account and credit card information to your social media content may be fair game for hackers. The 2013 Identity Fraud Report released by Javelin Strategy & Research found that the number of identity fraud victims increased to 12.6 million consumers last year – hitting more than one out of every 20 U.S. consumers. According to the report, smartphone and tablet users were constant targets of cyber criminals using malware and phishing exploits and compromising unsecured WiFi connections to steal users' sensitive information.
