Thank you all for your replies to my post. Seems pretty clear what I need to do, and I believe the replies here are from successful traders. Funny, seems to me that if you play the market correctly, by strict rules and discipline, it is almost a mathematical certainty, (with proper money mgmt. stops, having and sticking to your own plan etc.) that you will make money. If not, just as certain the opposite will happen. Hmmmm..... I almost think it is just that easy.....(or hard) LOL.

       Best to you all...
