  1. but don't have a lot of it?

    say you have a small account (< $20,000), but you know how to make money. there must be some way you can use your skills to trade more money.

    should i trade other people's money? if so, how? would someone hire me to trade a fund? i don't know much about prop. trading...if that is another option. any ideas?

    thanks

    p.s. i want to be rich while i'm young, not when i'm 83 with a cane and 2 years left to live.
     
  2. Leverage can be your friend. Get the 7 and use the leverage of a pro firm.
     
  3. If you know how to make money keep making money !!!

    double your small account every week should do the trick.

  6. How much less than $20K ???

    With 4:1 intraday margin , like on IB, isnt
    nearly 80K enough to trade with???

  8. That is your best bet.
