    SPW - who made money on it today?

    hapa- i don't know anyone who shorted...but I know a few of the chatroom boys caught the bottom and made some nice coinage on it. I didn't trade it 'cause of my acct size.

    One good thing about PDT rule

    dstod- 98% chance I'm going to Echo...unless someone can give me a good reason to go somewhere else. from everybody I spoke with it seems like the best match for me...the only complaint I've heard is the charting software is weak...but I also heard they're coming out with something new to...

    January Trading Journals

    Hitman- I say this because it worked for me...and even though you say you don't get much good advice from this board I'm gonna put out my 2cents anyway. Someone suggested you take a break or short vacation. And you replied that you couldn't afford to. I'm wondering if at this point you can...

    One good thing about PDT rule

    no trades today...it looked like there were a few decent set-ups in the morning....but for the most part I just decided I didn't want to risk anything on a Fed day. Everyone has their own opinion on trading a fed day...but I just avoid it, seems like you can really get whipped around and...

    My Trading Journal (January)

    need- i didn't really look on the charts at your trades...maybe you can put the reasons for each trade in future journals, it might help people in responding, and more importantly help you in learning whats working and what isn't. One thing I do disagree with is you saying not letting a winner...

    Should I work for Generic Trading of Phila. ?

    1.8 cents sounds pretty high...and ask them what the $2500 deposit is for...the reason i say that is because I "interviewed" with All-Tech a year ago...and they wanted that also, thing was if you lose that , you're done, unless you replenish it. So they are taking NO risk at all, don't let them...

    Need guidance start daytrading...

    wanna- if you want specific daytrading examples...I think a good start would be to read all of Hitman's journals. If you click on his name, then click on his homepage you'll find them. This is the real deal of the struggles of a daytrader. This isn't someone making stuff up to make $ selling a...

    One good thing about PDT rule

    these trades are kind of boring, but they've been working for now, and I guess I keep posting them to get any feedback (good and bad) and it helps me review my own work and the reason its been a while since my last trade is because there weren't any...it's ok to go a day or two without making...
