No one said it would be easy, Brownie!

But it is doable, for someone who really wants to get it done.
It wasn't worth the effort for me I guess.

Trade my risk capital and invest my retirement money. Seems like a good combination to me. I could not imagine daytrading my retirement dollars. It doesn't get much more risky than that... If that's all you got, I guess you could trade a small piece of it, but I still would be leary of that. I've traded and been in the markets for quite awhile now and would not suggest using futures for retirement dollars, ESPECIALLY IN THE BEGINNING. Odds are that you will lose a good chunk of that money and when it's your retirement at work, those losses are a tad harder to swallow.
