Ha ha ha, that's a total understatement! Being that I am a trader, I have zero tolerance for losses.

Numbers?

I think a person can become a professional trader if you can grow your portfolio consistantly by at least 2-3% a month.

Rules to live by:

Having a negative week? Be concerned.
Having a negative month? Better keep your daytime job.
