Check your email buddy...sent you a link to some test stuff...

Anybody else on here pretty good with web development/coding?

I think that would be pretty neat!

I have a decent sum of $$$ available here this weekend...was going to put some new shoes on my Jeep, but they're not bald just yet so I might reset my account. I had thoughts on a new strategy...does this sound effective?

Start with approx $500...avoid options while playing on my own and when I feel the time to buy, buy STOCK. Sell when it hits my intended "strike price" and see if I was correct on my timing or if my options would have expired worthless. It allows me to practice timing with real $$$ but if it tanks or trades sideways for a week or two I can either sell for a far smaller loss or sit on it another week or so to hop out even.

Paper trading is tough...I do have a spreadsheet to use for paper trading. If anyone wants it, post or PM me your email address and I'll send it your way. All the formulas are already entered so you just plug in your quantity and buy/sell prices and it figures out your gain/loss for you. You'll just need to edit the commission formulas to match your brokerage's commissions.
