Thanks for the post! I had thought of doing the chart you are talking about, but I had a couple issues with it. One, it's time consuming. Although I think once I developed it, it wouldn't be too hard to maintain. The other, is the criticism when you do not do well. Since, I am not trying to say I am the best trader, I am not sure if that would be beneficial. What I am hoping that this board does, is that it gives people some good trading ideas. I think the stocks that have been posted here can make everyone money, if they trade it right. I also want people to see how hard it is to trade with a smaller account. You have to make certain decisions, sometimes bad, when you do not have a lot of money to work with. Which you did a good job of pointing out in your post.

Freetrade sounds great! Lol. When I started trading more aggressively (late 90's), I had Scottrade. The commissions were $7 for big board stocks. More for stocks under a dollar. I currently pay $7 a trade regardless of price, so it isn't too much of a burden.
