My style is one of total focus on 1 position @ a time. I'm a daytrader-scalper-momentum trader-speed trader. I find that being totally focused on the trade @ hand allows me to make more profitable trades. It's all about concentration. A lot of the folks on this board are swing traders, so my...

Do they offer Nasdaq level II quotes with TWS? If so, at what cost? And how is the data feed speed compared to others? This 1 cent per share thing looks good. Maybe too good to be true... thanks, thunderbolt

I'm using that YHOO short as an example. That was during 99' when bigger moves were the norm. However, today I trade based on the new environment. Nonetheless, I trade with balls of steel. I never let the MM's shake me out of a trade. If all of my indicators read "short", then by god I'm going...

I once took out the bid of 2000 shares on a short sale of YHOO. 10 min. later I bought it back for $3 less. MM's were shakin' the daytraders out, but I was tenacious and rode that puppy down. It was my nerves of steel that put 6K in my account, not a methodical approach to trading. Bottom line...

:mad: Too bad a broker is even needed. Why not a For Sale by Owner market? By pass the broker man like in real estate. Nobody wants to pay Realtor fees. The same goes for the financial markets. :mad:

I hear ya, man. The broker man makes his whether we do or not.:mad:

yeah, I guess I could have shortened the post a little. Go job, thanks for pointing it out. :p Next time you are in a long position, think it through. Look at the short side, who's making money? MM's, other daytraders, or you? If everyone is makin' the cheese, then it's certainly not a zero...

Your post was too lengthy and redundant. The point is, we all struggle with our trading. I once went long 1000 shares of LTXX, 5 minutes later I sold the 1000 for a profit and went short 1000 for another profit 10 minutes later. Made some cheese on the deal. That's what it's all about. Cut to...

How about actually giving the traders a little credit instead of insulting them with the immature games. Trading is a tough business and poking fun @ them isn't helping. :mad:

I use a scalping technique with MT chatroom and find it to be very lucrative. I'm in on the move and out when it stalls. Sweet 'n to the point--profit.

I'll do that. What chatroom do you trade with?

Do they have a good amount of stocks in inventory for shorting? This is of the utmost importance for me. I trade with MT(millennium-traders) and need a broker that offers this. Thanks, Thunderbolt:p

Your thought process is really disturbing. Suppose some one dropped a nuke off at your house tonight - how would you go about setting it off? :mad:

You people are of absolutely no help. Nothing but sarcasm. SHEEZZZ....:mad:

months on M-T. I've had good luck with them and was looking for other traders' experiences. That's all...take it for what it is worth.

Tell me about your experience with M-T. Also, they do occasionally call exits but I don't rely on them. If I hit big in the morning($1,000 or more), I'm done for the day. Also, I minimize losses by moving my stop up as the move goes in my favor. For example, if I enter @ 25.10, I immediately...

No I don't play everything. I play 1 at a time. And I get stopped out about once a day--sometimes more, sometimes less. I calculate averages so a 1 time phenomenon doesn't count.

You are correct. Anybody can say anything. I keep stop losses at different levels but never more than .25. I've been there for 3 1/2 weeks and have made very consistent money. I've only had 2 days in the red, but all my up days negate them by a long shot. Average: $435.22 per day using 30K...

I can't give you my trading techniques but with smart stop losses and removing your emotions the money is there. There are some guys making $2K a day. I hope to get there someday....:D

Lots of calls with lots of potential.
