I didn't think this deserved a new thread.

Just started playing in the stock market a couple months ago, have picked up a small parcel in few different company's that I believe have long term potential for growth.

I am intrigued by the possibility of playing the short term game, but fear I would screw it up royally until my predictions get a little better.

A couple questions if I may?

How many people here, trade for a living? Like trading is your job?

Do you guys play varied time intervals? Like certain plays would be weeks to months, or is it strictly in and out in one day? Or even multiple times a day?

How do you overcome the stacking costs of brokerage fees? Are you that good? Or are you playing with soo much cash that they are negligible? Perhaps both ay

My total portfolio value is only around $6.5k, but once it grows I'd like to transition to making bags quicker. So my last question is, how much of your pool do you put up for a play? Do you keep like 80% aside in case a few thing go the wrong way in a row?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
