Like any good scam, the idea is to get the mark to commit serious cash, _then_ take it all away...  ;)

So I've been dicking around with the market, trivial amount, 5 shares per 
stock. If I had put a lot in Tesco would have done me well.

I have 100 shares of this penny stock, it's a gold backed cryptocurrency, I 
watch it bounce a lot throug the day and its followed the same trend for its 
couple months existence.

So I set up a paper account and was dicking today with another penny stock. Set 
buy and sell limits with about 10,000 in the play money. It made 4k in 2 
rounds. It's just a couple pennies it fluctuates but at 500,000 shares that 
adds up.

I told the wife and of course she wants me to cash in something and play with 
real money.

I'm more inclined to see how the play money performs, I have some limits on the 
crypto stock that we will see what happens on monday morning.

I'm thinking to myself there has to be a catch. If it was that simple, 
everybody would be doing it.

You guys who mess around probably went through a time where you tried that kind 
of trading, and none of you talk about it now, so I assume the catch is pretty 
straight forward.

I was looking at my IRA, it's done pretty good at 17 percent. But just taking 
10k of it and playing with this at 1 percent per trading day, that would be 
another 27k annually.

I do see why day traders need low latency though, but with limits I dont see it 
has a lot of impact.

What's to stop a guy from spending an hour or 2 every morning with a relatively 
small amount in the big scheme of things like 10k trading to 1 percent or 
better and then going to work? 100 bucks a day or more doesnt seem terrible for 
an hour.
