Good luck with reaching your goals. How many shares are you buying at a time? Obviously, the more shares, the easier it is to met your goal.

I had a similar experience. I had to move my funds out of IB for about a month. When I wanted to move funds back to them, I have to do the whole process again. Each broker had different rules. Last time I was with Tradestation they keep the account open for a year after complete funds...

I had the same problem. I had 1 short position and the transfer would not go through. I closed the short and it went through fine.

Anyone else having a problem with the bid/ask quotes today?

From what I understand, the stock is physically sold. The brokage firm has to hold X percentage amount of shares of that stock before they can allow you to short it. You are actually selling someone elses shares at the brokage account. So when the stock is sold, that amount is placed into an...

This tread reminds why I really hate ET sometimes. It takes a big man to admit he has screwed up again. The people on this board love to rub salt into the wound. I just don't understand why. This board should be a place where you can clear you head and help each other improve. A good example of...

I've been short from 121, and was thinking about covering and admitting I make a mistake. What do you see that will make it come back down? Yes, I was going along with sell the news, but I was also thinking since design a phone was new for apple, that there might be one or two glitches that...

Before hitting a snag the last few months, I was do 2K a month using on average 30-60K of my 100K capitial. This was doing daytrading. I was looking to see if you can get the same results swing trading as day trading, without all the stress. I know to gave more money you do have to use more...

I have been daytrading for the last few years trying to reach my goal of 10K a month, and haven't been able to do it yet. My question, do you it is easier to day trade or swing trade to consistly make 10K a month. Thanks

I used both. I used telecharts for scanning the market and checked those stocks in VectorVest for buy/sell ratings. They are both excellent programs at a reasonable price. Just like any program, it takes a little bit of time to get the most out of them. If I had to choose between them...

I still own it. I have 400 shares, so I am down about $4500. I can handle this loss without knocking me out of the game.

Believe me, I am mystified also. When I did that post, I was placing stops with my entry order and I was getting stopped out alot. So I had some suggestions that the MM were seeing my stops and were taking me out, so I should use mental stops. I was doing OK with mental stops, except with MA...

Stupid me went long Friday morning on MA and didn't sell on the way down. I am trying get a feel from everyone if they thing it will bounce back in the next week or so, or tank. Please don't remind me how stupid I was. This was a huge mental mistake for me and I have tortured myself enough...

-$325 I guess I am one of the few with a loss today :(

$6 today. Almost everything turned and stopped me out today.

+$120 Today. Everything I bought seem to stop me out

Maybe the IPhone helped out, but you got the 130-132 price you were calling for today.

Where would you go to see Fidelity or some other institute buying or selling? Thanks

I obviously am missing something. I have been trading RIMM for the last couple of months and I thought I had it down, but after today I feel clueless. When RIMM reported earnings a couple of weeks ago, it shot up in after/pre market. The through the day and the rest of the year it went down...

-$383 today. Many, no, too many mistakes today
