Everything changes when you must factor in commissions fees. You're immediately placed under a losing handicap because of them. And, as Bob says, you can become seriously disturbed once the bad trades come into play, since you're using real money.
Trading for real is very different. You feel the real pain when you make a bad trade. There is often a temptation to take even more risk to regain your lost capital. If you are going to try your hand at real trading then risk ONLY the amount you could afford to completely lose.
yes, stock trading help for professional trading largely for gating more income.
Hi I've been messing around with the stock market on wallstreetsurvivor and I have made about 20% on my entire portfolio in 2 weeks. I'm now ranked 2000 out of 1 million. With my strategy I'm expecting to double my portfolio in a couple of months. Possibly less time as i get better at trading. If all goes well and everything continues to do well do you think i would have a good shot at making a lot of real money with it? How different is it in the real world with an actual broker? I'm going to have a starting sum of about 25000 to play with.
thanks
