For the record @jvo, I've been doing pretty good for 4 years now, though last year was my first loser. Almost 3 of those years have been on SO. And I'm an uneducated (literally) mechanic, if I can do this, I think most people can. The real killer is emotions and the desire to take the short cut to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Even now, I have to strangle the little trading devil on my shoulder periodically and last year was a loser because I got greedy and changed some things. SO is the only legit trading website that I know of, I'm sure there might be some others but I haven't found any, and SO is very cheap, comparatively.
