Not a whole lot of feedback here, but questions that let you know how I'm thinking

1. What is the initial investment? Are you leveraged at some crazy high ratio, or did you put up the initial amount yourself?

2. What is the risk? As with most trading, you can stand to make a lot of money, coming with that is the fact that you can lose a lot of money. How are you hedging your risk in this particular case? If you make a bad choice how can you recover, and how hard is it?

3. You said: "Once mastered, this from of trading creates a much higher-than-average lifetime earning potential" How so?

4. What are your day-to-day costs? Do you have to pay fee/commission for each transaction? Do you need to spend a monthly fee having the trading houses' software on your PC? Is there a front/back end load on moving your money into and out of the trading house?

I've been in the equities market for some time, and I'm very much a buy-and-hold investor. If you find a good company, making money, invest in it and hold on. I can say you've intrigued the entrepenuer in me, but the sceptic wants more answers.
