    We are talking about a $10k account here. Maybe wait until he's made more than $6k, to invest.

    There is something very wrong if you are waiting that long.

    Smart Routing Really Smart?

    For taking liquidity in stocks, I have used a few smart routers (incl LSPD) and none can compare to IEX. I discussed this here: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/lets-talk-routing.305390/ For options, the SMART route Bob mentions works very well. It's free to use (commission only, no...

    New to trading - Got a bunch of books. Scared to learn outdated things.

    No books with teach you how to trade, but you can learn some basic TA from some of those. IMO read 18 & 40 and sell the rest. Use to time to make scans and watch charts instead.

    Do daytraders profit everyday? Or are they like me: one huge win one day, 10 losses in a row after?

    I've been there, but you have to get those losses smaller and smaller. Always live to trade another day, and take some time off if it gets to be too much.

    Do daytraders profit everyday? Or are they like me: one huge win one day, 10 losses in a row after?

    I'm right less than half the time but still make a good living. It's all about you r:r ratio. Whatever works for you.

    Are short-term traders immune from bear markets?

    Strange responses here so far. Daytraders LOVE volatility. Never was so much money made by ET members as 2007-2009. Many of us have been grinding out livings and honing skills, waiting for the next downturn. Little did we know we would have to wait through years of the largest asset bubble...

    If you are stuck in the $WINS halt please read.

    I got out on the unhalt at $90 avg. It cost me about $10k in borrow fees which left me with $20k profit.

    If you are stuck in the $WINS halt please read.

    Yep, anyone who takes $100 would (probably) make good money. The borrow costs me $ every day so I'm willing to accept it.

    If you are stuck in the $WINS halt please read.

    I agree it is total b.s. that they let the halt last so long. When a company ignores a Nasdaq request, then put them on the pinks or delist. I talked to the marketwatch dept. in charge of the halt and they said there is no time limit for a company to respond. How does that make any sense?

    If you are stuck in the $WINS halt please read.

    I am short 240 shares of $WINS and willing to buy from any seller at $100. The stock is probably worth much less, but I'm paying a daily borrow fee so I'm willing to take this price. Your broker must clear through Wedbush for it to work. I have confirmed with my broker that they will do this...
