    SPX at 1071 by the end of December

    I hear you! I've already done the same, except for the cave part. I think you can call my mom's house a cave, though. I'm 41. Psyche

    Paper trading accounts?

    Thank you for your responses. I appreciate the suggestion for the Virtual Stock Exchange, but it does not offer options, which I will be trading exclusively. My brokerage will be TradeKing, which does not offer paper accounts or a trial run. Even so, my indicators, tools, charts, and...

    Paper trading accounts?

    Where can I provide a good, customizable paper trading account service that is free? There are a few basic features I would like: -- The initial principal must be changeable to my input -- Commission rates must be changeable to my input -- Real-time rather than delayed if...

    Questions about Daytrading Regulations

    Also, I know the limit is 3 days per one week of trading (5 days). Are these five days from Monday thru Friday of a given week, or is the five day period any set of five consecutive trading days?

    Questions about Daytrading Regulations

    I know the basics, including that more than three intraday trades in one week induces the label as a pattern-day trader, and that there must be a minimum of $25,000 in the account at all times. These are the main questions I have: What is labeled as a single intraday trade? For example, if...

    What are realistic goals for an 18-year old swing/position trader?

    I'll be going with TradeKing to start. Forex Futures and Index/Stock futures are something I would like to trade down the line, but for now I'm starting with options once I develop some working setups.

    What are realistic goals for an 18-year old swing/position trader?

    several different people have suggested to me that I get an internship at a trading firm. Since my current major is business management (although I'm planning to take enough finance classes that I will likely get a second major or minor out of it anyway), and I am already dreading a business...

    What are realistic goals for an 18-year old swing/position trader?

    What are realistic goals for an 18-year old swing/position trader?

    I will simulate trading and be very cautious, of course. I will set strict guidelines on losses so that, once they are hit, I will stop trading live and maybe go back to testing my setups on dozens of stocks/options/futures back in a paper account. My current problem is with backtesting...

    All I currently know about are the stockwiz and metastock services, but I have heard that thinkorswim or tradestation offers some as well. Other than that, I really don't know much.

    What are realistic goals for an 18-year old swing/position trader?

    I know those will be my priorities. But I think I'm doing quite well outside trading. I've kept a 4.0 throughout high school without practically lifting a finger, I have enough for my first year and am developing an investing website which I hope (long shot but I think I can do it) can cover...

    What are realistic goals for an 18-year old swing/position trader?

    Trader psychology and management are not problems for me. I am a natural manager, and make great decisions. The only downside is in sacrifice I only process small amounts of info at a time, so I'm a bit of a slow learner. As for psychology, I see no problem there either. I like eating foods...
