    if i never make it big, this is why

    I had a problem with #2 when I first started but after you see yourself leave enough money on the table you get over it. If your in and you find yourself being impatient tell yourself what happend the last time you did this and you will have your reason to stay patient. If you really start...

    I didnt fade the open but I opened a small short position on the SPY's at 12:30 when it broke back below 140 and covered it at 139.85 at 1:05 after it failed to get any selling behind it. Going to wait and see what it does arond the 140 level again.

    Simple Profitable Method

    Anyone have a "night job?"

    I do tech support after 4 till 9. Full week with the weekends off and full benefits. Most of the time its so slow i look at charts anyway so its not a bad backup if things arent going well during a month.

    CNBC challenge-sell orders?

    From what I read you cant daytrade. All orders are filled at the end of the day. If you place a buy and then a sell i think the sell will get rejected because you dont own the shares yet.

It cost me a shit ton of money too and I only won one trade dispute against them and that was for a couple of hundred to recoup the losses because it took them 30 min to cancel my order. Hate to say...
