it can be worth it if the turnover is there and the small profits are larger than the small losses
I generally pull in 1-2% of turnover and make money mainly on small caps by buying a selection of potential runners each day, mostly news based plus a few hot stocks elsewhere
If market conditions are good, there's more potential runners so it gets busier
I'm generally in and out early in the run due to money management and not wanting to ride the pullbacks. Often exit meaning to jump back in but get busy elsewhere
It's discretionary based on a few things including depth set up, basic charts, recent announcements, perceived risk, enough liquidity or reason to believe there will be a safe exit opportunity
All about execution, money management, discipline and experience of how similar stocks are behaving at any given time
Annual wage is probably made up of the best 20-50 trades with the rest noise
Maybe there's an earnings ceiling so to speak when trading the small caps and earnings will be lumpier depending on how markets are behaving
I've tried putting some funds to work in other accounts but not much to show for it. Tried trading mid caps with mixed results. Same goes for buying and holding in mid/long term accounts
Thinking about taking a simpler approach and ignoring other accounts if results don't pick up outside of main trading account this year
