    GREAT WORK!

    two question
    1, do you want to run an IB advisor account, so you can manage client account?
    2, is your selection automatable? so instead of reading your writing every day, your client can trade based on your info without human interaction.

    by the way, how large is your account? you didn't like how many shares per stock you would trade. do you all buy just 100 to 500 shares per stock, or you use a fixed dollar amount per stock?

    IMPORTANT: Take only the opportunities that you really like and understand. Always enter a trade with a trading plan. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. There is a much greater chance of success in your trading if you understand the trade. That is very important. Taking just a few trades is enough to be a successful trader. Overtrading is probably the number one reason new traders fail. I personally mostly take swing trades. Please remember to keep that in mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. Right now I don’t have IB advisor account, but that is plan. I have experience with that in the past so I believe that I will continue.
    2. Human interaction is always included. This is not a automated system; this is normal breakout system with other basic knowledge important to be a successful trader. I bring completely trading plan (entry, exit, target, trailing stops), and you can blindly follow that, but my advice is always good to know what are you doing. For me trading is like puzzles. Several parts completed the trading, and one without other can’t work. If you blindly follow the trading plan without the risk management, I don’t trust to success.

    I don’t have exactly shares amount per trade. I count that from risk what I would use. Depend on the market action I will trade with the full risk or half of risk. Right now, I don’t see low risk market and my risk per trade is 1%. That mean if my account is 50K my maximum loss per trade is $500. Depend of the stock price and the stop amount I will use number of chares. Because of that, sometime it will be 200shares, and sometime few thousands.

    Hope all above makes sense.
    Good trading!
