That was kind of the feeling I was getting....that I was either misinterpreting what he was saying (because people DO trade some indexes), or that I have just been extremely lucky in making money the way I was trading.

I get that each of the stocks has their own driving forces and that QQQ is an amalgamation of all these different forces. But people also trade the QQQ... I guess what you are saying is that I would be better served to pick a stock rather than an ETF? You are saying that S/R do NOT work on a...

Please don't be shy. I am a big girl! I enjoy differing viewpoints. It is how I grow. If it works for me, I will be grateful. It it doesn't, then I am happy to learn that what I am doing works well for ME. But either way, I am appreciative of your time and assistance.

LOL. I will keep that in mind!

Yes, thank you. That is how I have been using S/R. I just watch to see how price begins to react around these areas. Often, especially lately, they blow through the first and pullback at the second. My goal is to get out before the pullback, and get back in on the renewed upswing of the...

I appreciate your reply. I had wondered about this exact question I quoted before....so when I saw it answered this way in print, I was taken aback. Because I have not been DAY trading this way very long, I wanted to pass it by seasoned traders. Price, at least the S/R lines I draw now, do...

I have been trading on the QQQ for over a month now. I am using trend lines and support / resistance (S/R) areas along with other candlestick formations to get in and out. I have not been doing poorly using this method, although I am still new and the market has had some VERY strong trending...

Really?? I "really" found someone??? Yahoo! lol I honestly didn't think I would find anyone either. But I gave it a try, and I am glad that I did. I have never traded forex. I used to swing trade intermediate trends of stocks from day charts. Recently, I moved to doing it specifically...

Good to know.

LOL. In retrospect, I suppose that acronym has been around since man first stepped on a grape! Didn't even notice. :)

I'll take a gander. Thank you.

Well on your way to becoming a guru here! lol. Thank you so much for your helpful reply.

Interesting point. I am just now looking into the best route, and it is helpful to know some of the quirks ahead of time. Thank you!

Thank you, Robert. I have seen people from other posts recommend you highly. I appreciate your response. I will be making decisions shortly.

Thank you, eastern_warrior. This was number one on my list. It is nice to get some idea of what others use and appreciate.

Thank you, Matt. I will keep this in mind. I will be making decisions shortly.

I have been using Thinkorswim (TOS -T DAmeritrade) for swing trading. I am interested in day trading, and am looking for a retail broker who will not kill me with fees. Do people even use TOS for day trading??? The platform works well, and I really like it. But I think it foolish to use it...

I recently moved way up north to Norcal for business reasons. I am hopeful there may be someone up here in Redding who would be interested in "talking trade"? ??? Let me know! It would be nice to meet you!
