    Trader P/L 2006

    Allot of dumb trades. I usually trade 100-300 shares a trade, well i saw a ARCA offer stuck 6 cents below the high bid so I kept hitting it up to 600 shares and then did a market sell and the bid droped out and I took a loss. Had a good trade go from +$75 down to -$30. KMG was trending nice...

    Trader P/L 2006

    My best day so far, most I've netted out since I started. Got stuck in an AMX trade after the close and had to hit the only ARCA offer for a loss. I've been more selective with my trades and it has done me well. $102 3,400 shares

    Is the trader lifestyle an urban legend?

    You know, the trader on his laptop, trading by the pool, sipping on a drink in his baithing suit. The image and the dream that brokers sell you. I don't think i have ever heard of anyone doing that. Even if you could trade like that, there just seems way to many distractions.

    Start With a Small Stake

    When I look back at how i traded with my first bank roll(about $3,000) i'm glad that's all I had. I mean, I had no idea about TA or anything. My idea of investing was look at the most actives that went up and buy them. I had no idea what shorting was, just going off crap i heard in the Yahoo...

    Coughing up the $25k requirement for Pattern Day Trading

    I always thought they should just tier the leverage you can get. You can put on as many trades as you like but have something like this. 0-5,000 Cash only 5,000-15,000 2:1 leverage 15,000-25,000 3:1 leverage 25,000+ 4:1 leverage

    trading without charts...suicide?

    I could have sworn that I heard that Warren Buffet doesn't use charts either. If you investing off of fundamentals, then I guess charts don't matter but did he say he was trading? Maybe he just uses time and sale and level 2.
