When you think you're ready watch a professional then think again.
No questionnaire can reveal that noob traders tend to be overconfident, and this is influenced by their desire to make a lot of money shortly. I am grateful to have seen what real traders trade. I learned a great deal from all of you, which made me take a step back. Assess more wisely. My experience would have been markedly better had I had more experience with control factors. I didn't have the equipment so that I could really follow the trade nor the speed. TDA is a bear. A slow one at that. It's not designed or built for swing or day traders. Schwab likely isn't interested in them. During my time on your platform, I began researching and learned about Lightspeed, DAS, Tradestaion and Tradingview. However, each has its nuances, and only DAS works with Schwab accounts. I believe as Wall street did years ago (that I can be a trader) but I didn't take them up on their offer to get my series 6 and work the desk. I don't regret it as I watch you guys. Now, with age, I believe I can. I just have to get those big dollars out my eyes and go for the small trades that grow your account. Just as you have proven. When I go small, I win and stay green. When I start looking at large trades, I lose and experience drawdowns. That simple. Thank you for teaching me trading small is how smart money reaches profitable goals
