I use Scottrade. They are "OK". I really don't know how they won those JD Power awards, though. Their streamer sucks at the moment. Plus, they don't offer premarket trading. But I "hear" they are working on improving. As far as your trading, why don't you use this journal for...

Well, whatever you decide, good luck to ya. HYRF has come and gone at far as stocks that I am looking at to trade.

Dang! Too bad they gapped up. I was watching HYRF during premarket as it made its way through the 80's. But unfortunately Scottrade doesn't provide ability to trade premarket... at least not that I could find. Anyways, the risk-reward is too high for me now, although it looks like further...

I appreciate your commentary. At what level would you consider the market to be entering a bearish status?

Anyone still following these stocks? I was liking HYRF in particular this morning.

Sorry trendfader. I don't actually invest in everything I list here. Plus, I don't have exit points on the stocks that meet the 4% goal. That would be too time consuming for me to track right now. What I am trying to work on here is my timing and selection of trades (picking trades that meet...

I think it depends on your style of trading, what type of gains you are looking for and the stock's volatility. One thing I found is that you should never place your stops right before levels of support. Lots of people buy high and then as the stock falls back to test support, they sell...

I try to isolate stocks that are beggining a move but are not too far into it yet. I use basic technical indicators like stochastics, macd, relative strength volatility, (and a few other things). That (the scan) is the easy part. I'll then spend a few hours, on narrowing the stocks down...
