What do you mean by trading purely on numbers? Elaborate a little please.

I think you would have an option to sell either the shares boaught on Mon or Tuesday. I could be wrong of course.

Finally took a trade. HSC 100 @ 19.8099 Stop @ 19.50 Target Profit @ 20.60

Hey, I appreciate the suggestion. I took a look at the website, it seems like it could be worth it to transfer my account. I'll look into it a little more and decide if I'll switch over. I wonder why they aren't mentioned on stockbroker.com.

I know. It's actually the cheapest deal I found. I could use another brokerage which use the per share model but that usually requires a larger minimum. I'm currently in the process of saving up for a PDT account so I don't want to put that capital at risk yet. I'm looking at making $20-30 net...

Still no trades. Staying in cash. Not a big fan of the way the market is moving right now. Is this what it looks like when the market is forming a base for the next uptrend? :confused:

Thanks for the advice. I'm trying to get 1% per trading day. Unfortunately no trades today. I was sleeping all day, tired from work. When I woke up and saw the market going down, I wanted to take a trade but there was an error at the brokerage with my BP. Does this ever happen to anyone?

Awesome, I got some replies! Thanks, I realize that my win percent isn't high enough. To be honest going into those trades I didn't even take note as to what my risk to reward was. I need to learn more about that. As far as setting stops. I've been hearing a lot of negative things...

I've decided against using Trade Trakker any longer. I don't like some of the aspects of the software. So instead I'll be using Excel to track my trade history from now on. At least until I find something more intuitive and automated. I got the idea from the layout at www.daytradingradio.com. I...

:D

I understand what you're saying. I appreciate the perspective of someone who has been there before me. Thanks. I'll preface this by saying this may be a stupid question. Does anyone know of a free squawk box? Or one that is at least substaintially cheaper than the one previously mentioned?

I don't think I just answered my own question. lol I don't know enough about the sqwauk box or the stock market to make a sound enough judgement as to whether or not it will be valuable to my trading. I'm obviously a newbie.

Why?

I just checked out Traders Audio. For the S&P 500 Pit Broadcast it's $125.00. I hope that's annually if not a one time fee. $125.00 a month seems a bit absurd.

No, I sure havent. Thank You.
