    I passed

    The fact that you passed is your first step to financial independence. It means you can short most stocks, get awesome leverage and if you blow your account, you wont need $25K to PDT.

    Any long term strugglers out there?

    When you read about losers all you will get is depressing news. There are lots of daytraders who trade for a living with no other source of income. These traders trade with retail accounts. If your a licensed professional with a Series56, unless your trying to live beyond your means. With a...

    I don't know how often he post his trades on Profit.ly but he does share his gains and losses. http://profit.ly/ He just purchased a 2 million dollar home. On Wallstreet warriors he lost some accounts but who doesn't. I don't advocate for the arrogant prick, but you can't discredit his...

    The money he charges for his course wont cover his living expenses. However he does make enough money to live a pretty good life. Cutting losses quick is what every experienced trader should do. If your not cutting your losses quickly stop trading now. My lossess are automated thru trail stops.

    He is too rude, besides his trades aren't that exceptional. If you don't have much to work with then you would play with penny stocks to build up your captial. However if you have $4K to plunk down. Trade retail using Margin to intraday and swing trade. People that know don't teach! He needs to...

    How does someone get the capital required to turn trading into a business?

    What kind of family members or friends do you know that will give you money to trade with? Without having a successful trading background! First off I don't trade other people money unless I can back them dollar for dollar. When I have $30K in my account, them an investor can come in at $25k...

    How does someone get the capital required to turn trading into a business?

    You are 100% correct. I am starting to work 2 jobs. I have a 9-5 and I'm starting a new job working from home. Once you save up $26K and trade using margin. After awhile depending upon your bills. You can live off your trades and save money from both jobs. Im able to trade during the day...

    I work in IT and no browser is going to use that much ram. Google chrome only requires 128mb of memory. If you have the disk do a clean install and reinstall the apps if it persist. Try setting your computer to best performance. Schedule disk defragment to run weekly Set your paging file size...

    first day with a prop firm, owned by commissions

    When I traded prop I also did large volume. However I had the firm which use to be BSI ran by Angelo set up flat rates. I was paying $30 per trade round trip, plus software fees. That worked out a lot better, because like yourself I would buy 7K lots at a time and trail after .05. Set a...

    Is day trading worth it?

    Best reply I've read so far and completely true I am living proof. By the way I trade from a mobile phone with a retail account. Because of my 9-5 I can't sit in front of a computer and trade. But when I did trade prop with a local brokage using an over sea license, which wavied the Series...

    Is there any good prop firm for new traders?

    I found most Youtube videos to be a waste of time. They're success or failures wont generate the same results. Even when following a strategy, you have to develop discipline as it relates to entry and exit points. Most retail accounts have training videos like TDAmeritrade or Etrade. These...
