Also, don't focus too much on "daily" profit. If you do it will be a very rocky road for you since you might have a bad week where all your trades are unsuccessful. I try and focus on 2 to 4 week periods. It's a lot less stressful.
The secret is to cut your losers short and let your winners run! Get rid of a losing trade a.s.a.p and move on before you lose money. If your stop loss is set 10% below the purchase price then it's impossible to lose more than you make - even if you are crap at picking stocks.
$50,000 is a great start. To be honest you don't need that much to start with. It's important to start small. You cannot make $10,000 a month before you make $1,000 a month. When I started I only had $5,000. I would suggest you designate at least $50,000 of your capital to more long term strategies and then treat the remaining $25,000 like your only child!
