sawyer,

It appears that I misinterpreted the statement. Yes, I would say that that is very good performance for two weeks.

Some people have reservations about making poker analogies to trading, but I believe that the experience is highly relevant. Poker made me a better trader and trading made me a better poker player. Both skills rely on managing emotions, allocating risk and calculating odds for success.

If you can maintain positive performance for a few more months (not even good performance, just "not losing"), then you may want to follow David's advice. Start with a small account to make sure you can replicate the success, then get bigger as your confidence increases.
