This. What you're doing is gambling, might as well just take your 20k to the casino. Start diversifying and spreading out your risk... This shits taught in any intro to investment book.

do you go into your trades with a profit target or do you just hope for the moon each time?

you're never going to get out at the tippity top unless you're really lucky or you hold enough shares to decide where the top is. you need be happy with making 5-10% per trade. not every trade will be the anomaly 100%+ gainer that you can brag about on /biz/

Use your fucking stop! and only invest 30% of your capital or you're going to lose it all in no time.

now's a shitty time to get in. if you're starting out you should do mutual funds and etfs, then learn how to read prospecti and annual reports, fundamentals about the companies. takes awhile to learn how to pick stocks
