the hardest part of trading is learning money management.. or at least for me it was..

i make a lot less a day now, but i seldom have a loosing trade...

i finally learned that i would rather make $100-1000 a day and keep losses to a minimum than trade above my means and have one losing day wipe out a months worth of gains...

as i keep increasing the value of my acct, over time I will be able to keep increasing my daily profit without increasing my risk..
