>> Yes. I only have the options to move my IRA between four funds: Interest only, Small Cap, Big Cap, and Dividend funds. I focus between the Interest and Small Cap funds which has produced good results. I never have less than 10% in either. Signing off for now. Heading to Santa Barbara for...

That happens to me too. What helps me is instead of trading 100 shares (my "lot" size), I'll by two lots. If my tight stop hits I'm out; if the trade goes my way I'll sell 1 lot when it slows and turns, setting the stop for my 2nd lot at or near my entry. My problem is my entries....

Hi, I had an Nvidia BSOD issue I've been working on the past couple of days. Been running Prime95 successfully for two days so I hope I've fixed it. I'll reply to your request later. Thanks, GM

BTW, Thanks to all of you for your responses. I really appreciate it.

What are you doing differently in your day trading compared to your swing trading? In the swing account I let it run up or down with bigger stops. I'm only allowed to trade 3x's per month which may save me from myself. And, the market has been on a good uptrend for awhile now so I remain 90%...

I want to be able to consistently earn more money day trading. Its the challenge, the excitement, and the instant gratification. I want to make more money, $1K plus per day. I want to be able to quit my job and be able to "rely" on day trading for income. I've seen someone do it and I want to be...

Why post PNL statements? Why not? If someone is willing to provide advice I would like to hear it from a consistently profitable trader that has gone through the learning curve. I could give advice too, but since I'm not successful my advice isn't worth much. I have only seen one profitable...

I have no P&L to brag about. In fact, I'm consistently negative as the $0.0045 per share fee eats me up. I'm looking to improve by taking a course. Any good training courses to recommend? What about the SMB Training 5 week Foundation course? After flying, hotels, cabs, metro, etc., it'll cost me...

First, I have to thank all that took time to reply. As for developing a trading plan, I'm still studying DTU course and trying to understand market moving data. I do have a learning plan mapped into a year to: 1. Complete DTU course; 2. Read "Cramer's" books and review others I have read...

Thanks Secrettrader. Any recommended books on the subject?

Some of my history: A friend (?) turned me on to trading in Nov 99. I started reading and learning, but by June 01 I'd lost $50K and gave it up. In hindsight I wasn't trading to any plan nor was I aware of what drove the market in any direction. I just bought when I thought it was the right...

OK, so I'm new and a wannabee successful day-trader. Read some TA books (Market Maker's Edge; Master Swing Trading; Using TA; etc.) and taking an online course from Day Trading U. Signed up with TD Ameritrade using Qrotetracker. Am I on the right track? Can day-trading be lucrative? Anyone...

I hear many mentions of learning how to trade...but no mention how. Where does one learn how to trade? Is Day Trading University a good school? Can day-trading be a consistent way to make a good living? All advice appreciated..............
