Default Re: Investing Bankroll

In poker, you strive to play hands where the odds are in your favor... if you win, the rake is a small percentage that you share with the house.

In trading, if you strive to make trades with the odds in your favor, the same applies... meaning, if you are making winning trades, the commission costs are relatively insignificant.

That said, if you are making a large number of trades, you should strive to minimize your costs, and thus should be using a broker that is charging you less than .01/share each way.

Finally, would you consider playing one poker hand/year, a proper strategy??
