Second, you are already ahead of a lot others since you have lots of capital. People wonder why the richer gets richer? :) I am running a 50k account. I do have some money sitting in a CD that generates a meager annual return of 1.3%. I am just concentrating on my consistence and improving my mental strength for the time being. Once I am ready, I will increase my position size. I have nothing but time. So I will wait. First, congrats on your huge return last year.

It average less than $2500 a month. So, are you using less than $100,000 in day trading. I am thinking with the trading skill you have and the time you spend. You should be making 6 figures income. May be leverage is a way to go for you. You seem to have a very good cut loss skill judging from a large amount of loss trades in your portfolio and still making money. BTW, I am a mixed trader/investor. I made more than 100% last year by only longing depressed stocks. But I know it will not make good money as stock going back to normal mode in the next few years. Your trading method looks like the way I need to learn. As I have $350,000 now. 30% is doable for me as a full time job. After adding up the profit in your portfolio this year.

I know it is easier said than done. But I still have to say it "Patience is a virtual". You need to hold onto your winners longer for bigger moves. I know it is easier said than done.

The one problem is that I've come close to breaking even or profit, but that vanishes once trading fees are included. I just can't buy lots big enough where the smaller profit percentages can work out for me. I have about 20k to play with right now, I think I might go back to paper trading for awhile for practice once I have time for it, but I really find the psychology of paper is so different that it's not really a fair test.
