Hitman: As always I appreciate your input. I didn't know if there was value in watching the other exchanges for listed stocks, so I threw it out there for a response. I'm not surprised that Tape Reading is important. Yet, what is one looking for when reading the tape? If it's to see...

LoneHand, Babak, dozu, praetorian2 (is there a 1?), et, al: Since I'm new to daytrading, I'll start with the more orderly market of listed stocks. Of the 33 stocks listed in my last post, I was planning to focus on up to 10 stocks (and trade 2-3 daily); the idea being that I should have a...

I appreciate all the responses. Let's see if together we can work up some strategies that will turn a high risk period into a low risk, profitable period. First, let's focus on the Ground Rules for all trades. Please feel free to criticize (or approve), suggest alternatives, etc...

I only have the morning (till 11am) to day trade. Given this restriction, what are the best strategies to trade the pre-market and the Open? One strategy I'm aware of would be fading the Gaps. If there is anyone successfully trading this time-frame, I would really appreciate some advise...

Hitman: I sent the requested email. Did you receive it? TIA, Ron

Hitman: Again, thanks for your reply. Salary, unfortunately, is a key requirement (I have a family with two kids, mortgage, two dogs, etc.); you get the picture. I did notice that I can schedule my trading hours (and days) so your firm can coordinate with the assigned mentor. That...

Hitman: I'm located in New York and interested in joining a firm to learn to day trade. And, yes, I graduated from an Ivy League school; however, that was 20 years ago! As I see it, the only way I can land a position as a proprietary trader is thru a referral. BTW, I'll be taking the...

NewTrader1: Now that you've been trading with them for a couple of months, what's your current assessment? TIA, Ron

mjt: Thanks for the info. I will definitely follow the position trades. I'll keep this thread posted on the results.

Atrader: Thanks. This is helpful. At least there are some alternatives. But I'm surprised, in this electronic age, that this can't be handled online.

With a day job, it's difficult (i.e., impossible) to day trade. Is there an online service that supports conditional order entry (like XpressTrade) for stocks? I would like to enter a position using a stop-limit, and include the stop-loss and profit stop in one order. This way, I don't have...

jsmith: Thanks for the feedback. I've read the previous thread; very enlightening. Perhaps I'll try the 2-week trial, which is free. There are other sites that I've found interesting: o TraderAlliance.com (has a live chat/trading room) o TradeCourse.com (great training site) o...

Has anyone joined TrendFund.com, or heard anything about it? I am curious about the experience. TIA, Ron
