I plan on soon opening a real account with 30k starting capital with 4:1 intraday leverage (120k buying power! ). My paper trading results have been more than exceptional..time to turn up the heat. cm
Although you have 120K buying power, you probably want to trade small at first. Market will be always there.
You're in for a very big surprise when do you start daytrading real money. As much as it has been discussed on this board, you still refuse to accept the fact that simulator is like a holy grail comparing to live trading. Real fills are very different from demo fills, especially now with NMS and Hybrid. On a stock like GS, you can see your whole profit disspear just due to slippage. Just try to hold your emotions together when that happens.
Even trading 200 share lots...on a stock that trades 5mm shares + daily..? Using limit orders will help.
