think or swim are expensive in comparison to other discount brokers, especially if you're day trading. On the average my fees to my broker is above $100 per day making about 30 trades roundtrip per day. When you scalp for profits every $ counts. I was looking into just2trade, sogotrade, and...

I agree with you but I had picked up low priced shares in Feb 2009 and would like to keep them, plus I do not wish to have to report a profit yet on them, since I have not sold them. So I will try and take my chances with a new broker. If the first one reports the issue to the new broker, I...

have you tried to highlight with right click and then use "control C" for copying, then right click in excel and paste under special and then use "text" as format for pasting. let me know if that would work for you.

I am interested in switching my current broker, and came across just2trade.com. Googled them to see if I can find anything about them, but the only thing I can come up with was some upset customers but all were either in 2006, 2007 or early 2009. So has anybody dealt with them lately and how...

Thank you guys for your help. One more question. Should I wait a few days or it would not really matter if I transfer immediately. just curious. :)

I am not really talking about the margin account, but rather the day trading funds purchasing power margin account. I took this from FINRA: "The rules permit a pattern day trader to trade up to four times the maintenance margin excess in the account as of the close of business of the...

thanks for your response, but I do not have any penny stocks at all. I also called my broker and he confirmed to me that I am only allowed to day trade once based on my "options buying power" which currently is $49K, but last Friday I actually went over my limit by $23K and that is why they...

I recently got a day trading margin call because I exceeded the margin funds available for me to trade daily. I received an email notification from my broker that I must deposit $23K for a couple of days and then I could withdraw them. Mind you my balance is over $60,000 with securities and...
