I abandoned my long write in favor of this short one.
I wasn't asking about daytrading but I am interested in swing trading. I am more than aware of the risks in general but I am more worried about the cost of learning. No one starts out playing winnings cards and similarly I expect to lose playing around in the market at first and maybe I always will. Doesn't bother me.
Of course in an attempt to lessen any of those initial losses I'm doing as much research and asking as many people for their advice, experience and opinion as possible.
Justin has already pointed out the modern tools available with a service like etrade which I signed up with. You can automatically lock in profits and limit losses. I'm not into gambling but I do from time to time push only the smallest of edges.
