I don't thing your doing bad at all even though your in the red. Your losses are small and rule #1 is to cut losses quickly. Go back at look at your two profits and get that confidence back, but also consider paper trading for awhile during real time. A lot of successful traders paper traded for 2 to 9 months before risking there hard earned money. My knowledge account is definitely much bigger than my brokerage account at the time. Keep studying!

Dont be discouraged, i just broke my 8 in a row losing streak. February has not had very many opportunities and I think we're all trying to make something happen that isn't meant for us.

Sorry about the loss of your dad, Arick. You are a great trader, and an even better genuine human being sharing all that you do. Keep your head up and thanks a million for all the help you've given to me and so many others with your videos and being real.

Thank you all! Very much! If things don't work out well I will revert back to paper trading!

I was using ETrade Pro, but I cancelled it, because they charge you $99 a month for the platform and it was eating up my account. But if you make more than 30 trades a month it's free and Etrade Pro has the chart out there in my opinion. I started using TOS and it's free. The commission are the same as Etrade.

I will be opening the account with $5k and see how it goes. As long as the pro platform is good at getting a trade in I'm good. I do want level 2 that would put me at $75 a month for the pro platform/ mobile trading/ level 2. Sounds like they have gotten a little bit better from over a year ago. Thanks for the comments.

I'm getting my feet wet now with suretrader. I have been profitable but over traded and took crazy advantage to the no PDT rule. I have been using the 6:1 leverage. I have no ego and if i"m wrong on a trade I get out quickly. When i'm up and doing well with a trade I just put in a trailing stop and walk away. I love to short sell. Wow its been really nice. I use the DAS platform been amazing and really easy

@Arussell125 Hey Arick, I'm new to trading since October. Still in the red, but small losses. I appreciate all your utube videos, because I use TOS also and I'm now using studies to help me understand my entries and exits better. I was hoping you could do a video on stop losses, because I just don't get it and haven't found a good step by step video to use this. Congrats on your success, it's motivating.

Make sure you don't let the daily $ gains drive you to taking riskier trades with lower rewards. Stay focused on the gimmes and don't experiment. Trade safe, Trade scared. Best of luck to you!
