I was doing this but I have not read this ebook you're talking about, sounds interesting. Instead of trading 2-3 times a month like you have said. I was trading everyday. Placing the same amount of money it looks like. I took my account from $23,500, to $132,000 in the my first 3 months. But I'm young and at the age of 21 at the time I cashed a lot of my main margin out and spent all of it on "useless" things now that I look back. I also lived off it for a year without working. Now I'm just saving up some money working a full time job, till I can start trading again, and do that full time.
