freedomshift, thanks for your comment. The real purpose, I suppose is not to make $20/week, it is to test a couple of strategies that I have in mind and hopefully reach a point where I have enough confidence to scale the position sizes up. 20$ is just a simple benchmark number for me to start with. It is probably worth another post but my partner and I have decided to do a bit of travelling in the next year so I want to be confident that trading could become an additional source of income when I leave my full-time job. When it comes to HODL-ing, most of my cryptocurrencies, stocks and other assets are long term investments so I am totally with you on that.
