    Warning: An individual (v.s. institutions) has less research, info, time and capital, but higher transactions cost. May also be lack of discipline. The only advantages seem that the individual may come-in and -out of the market faster and be able to endure a greater calculated risk (assume he knows how to calculate the risk!). Nevertheless, empirical studies show that trading is hazardous to wealth: to beat the mkt, most individuals are beaten by the market! Try the paper trading first to see whether you are an exception before put down your hard-earned money!
