Just wondering...Do all of you pay yourself each and every week? I know some who pull a percentage out in cash weekly and wondered if most of you do that as well?? [Smile]

Yep, I know we can't forget him..I was just wondering how most do with paying themselves regularly, even if just a small percentage. In one of the major trading books I read in the past, that was one point that was made, to make sure you pay yourself regularly. Just checking to see what the norm seems to be for most traders...

Always have a working bankroll in your account that you do not touch. Much like Poker players have a certain amount of money as their bankroll and any winnings in excess of their bankroll they take home instead of putting it back into play.

If you opened a account with $25,000, then strive to keep that in your account at all times. Whatever you make over that amount you withdraw.

I take a draw about every 6-8 weeks. Take it down to my trading amount and go again.

I just take out money when I need it. No set plan. Just pull some when the regular bank account nears dry.
