Are they coming out with weeklys for individual stocks anytime soon?

I quit earlier to do some stuff, but an appointment I had a 11am was changed to tomorrow, so I traded a little more. P/L is about the same, but I made a few bucks back. Still a losing day. Missed and misplayed many opportunities.

Disappointed to have lost, today. I missed some good opportunities. I have some stuff to do, so I'm done for the day.

I used to use Tradestation and spent a while testing a black box for the emini S&P. I would say it would take about a month to really figure out easy language. It's been a while since I did it, so I don't remember all that much. It prints out some pretty sweet reports on your system statistics...

Thanks for all of your responses. Now I am sort of torn between Choicetrade and IB. I'm new to options trading and will be starting with 1 or 2 contracts for swing trades. IB seems more attractive in terms of the commissions. Their minimum charge is $1 per trade while Choicetrade has a $5...

I've given back lots of my profit for the day. I was up over $160. At least, I'm not negative for the day. The S&P has been in a 3 point range since the open, so I'll just quit for the day.

I've just heard so many bad things about IB's customer service.

Why is that not appealing? It seems like very good prices.

Anyone here every use Choicetrade for options? I'd like to hear some opinions on them.

I F-ed up so many times, today. I shorted FLR at the open. It went my way right away. It was down near 83.10 and the specialist dropped the bid all the way to 82.50. It surprised me so much I thought he raised it and I covered. That pissed me off. I then bought some ORCL and took my profits. I...

I am a full time trader. I'm still learning, though. I was getting my butt whooped trading too many shares a month ago, so I've dropped my share size way down. I've been doing better with the small size. I will slowly increase position sizes as my performance becomes more consistent.

Two losing days in a row. I wish I hadn't quit early, today, because I was losing. I missed a good move in AIG that would have made it all back. Oh well...barely down for the week. Looks like this week's P/L hangs on Friday's performance.

Hey, How do you reference the quote you are replying to? Thanks

Jenny, I agree that there are more optimal times to trade in a day than others. I believe in general the best times are from 9:30-11:30 and 2:30-4:00. East coast lunch time tends to be very slow and choppy. I actually rarely trade the pm. I'm not necessarily a great trader, but I've been...

I lost, today, but it is very manageable. S&P is very choppy.

I'm calling it an early day (Not that I'm not normally done by 9am PST, but this is really early). I made a little money. I'm pissed I missed ATVI because I was too busy with a couple of other trades.

Not a great day, but it's positive. Done for the day.

Done for the day. I lost, today, but at least I made money 4 out of 5 days this week.

It was an acceptable day. It's positive, so I'll take it. I chickened out on SBUX. I could have at least doubled my P/L for the day if I played that one right.

It was a decent day. I did chicken out on my JBLU short, though. I took like 15 cents instead of giving it some room and making 70 cents.
