Perhaps the thing to do is to work your butt off now and come up with a trading system that works NOW! Although I am too young to have had the capital to make big bucks in the mid-late 90's I was studying the markets like a maniac and using what I did have to trade the futures markets (a very good training ground). I have had to make some modifications over the last 2-3 years as we all have...........it's called learning from your mistakes. I am a firm believer that I will later thank my lucky stars that I did the hard yards iin this bear market to find a system that I am happy with .

Those that develop trading systems in bull markets generally come unstuck.

Those that are successful during bear markets end up doing just that much better when a bull market arrives.

So I reckon get off your butt,get in there with what you can afford to lose ,some good money management and do some learning. It will serve you well when the markets turn for the better.

Cheers,
