Smart move Troy paper trading first.
What ever you do on paper chances are you will have
significantly worse results in real life. I might even
suggest that before you open an account you simulate
trading by joining up in the futures magazine
simulated trading deal it is going to cost you about
as much per month as a few commissions and you wont
loose a nickel.
There is a lot more to simulated trading than what you
are doing on paper and you will soon find out as you
trade or simulate trading with a service. I know that
everyone is in a hurry to implement their latest and
greatest trading technique but you may find that you
can greatly improve it by doing simulated trading
first
