interesting thread. Here is my short story: Graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston w/ a degree in what amounts to music business. Graduated last August. Immediately went to work for Sovereign Bank (go figure), and a collegue of mine introduced me to the market through scottrade...

I'm sure we'll all be watching closely. Hope you have other streams of income during this six months - wouldn't want to see you in the welfare line :) -K

::::drools uncontrollably::::: $14k in one day? and it's not abnormal? congrats! Well, I closed the day +400. 600 realized, 200 left for overnight in small positions.

Yessir. I'll take a look.

see, that's exactly the kind of stuff I was trying to avoid! :) Holy crap! SE in after hours is down two bucks :'( I grabbed a quick 500 at the close hoping for some gap action. Feeling a bit queezy now! Good luck tomorrow, guys!

somehow I feel you're personally familiar w/ this situation.

Heck yeah, it was helpful! Where do I send my check? :P BTW, I'm working on compiling an outline/step by step document on this strategy for my own use (and possibly others). The reason is because this info is stretched across so many forums and websites, I think it would be useful for...

Audrey, Are these paper trades? Don't assume that because you see the number, that's the price you'll get filled at. Besides, isn't there a 17 second stale quote rule?

how do you calculate a vehicle into P/L? lol

http://www.tradexgroup.com anyone have any info? 10k risk upfront is 2x as much as normal, yeah?

http://www.firstnewyorksecurities.com/trading.htm 50k a year while training, so the site says. Anybody have anything on them? HLVtrading.com someone mentioned earlier, however I spoke w/ a guy earlier who wouldn't "say anything specific about them, but..." thought they were shady somehow...

LMAO. I can't breathe!!!!!

Spidey, what's the ratio of up days:down days for you with this method so far? What is your total realized gain and percentage? Max number of down days? round numbers are ok - :-) Is this the only method you trade? and, are these $$ or paper trades? On the excel sheet are you...

I was a professional musician. Went that that little school called Berklee..... I've been swing dancing for 6 years. Lift weights. You know what helps me concentrate the most? The opposite sex. I know $$ doesn't buy love, but it doesn't hurt to have a nice ride to get a lady (or guy...

basically. I got hit today. Glad I got out before 10, though. wuwuwhat? Did Cramer just say Google, $400 in passing?

You can make 4 day trades in a 5 rolling period. So, trade monday through thursday, and take a 3 day weekend. You can really do whatever you want, except you won't have margin. If you want to keep your 4x buying power, then stick to the 4 trades/5 days. You can also swing some. i.e.: go...

Churning here, too. Was plus $400 before 9:45. Finished down $386 :'(

I have learned to not look at my P/L during the day, except when it is realized. What I do look at is quantity owned, price bought, current price. That's it. I became much more objective, and stops were much easier to abide by, especially those price pattern based stops. Another point...

I know about the website, thanks, but it seems that there are guys who have an E*Trade screen w/ all the info for the day, even closed positions - which I can't get! Would that happen to be Market Caster software? Maybe I'll just start a new thread.....

The second one is excellent and it goes through some pretty detailed stuff. The compliance is changing, but if you read that, then go dive into some SEC regs, then you should be up to date. http://nasd.complinet.com/nasd/display/display.html?rbid=1189&record_id=1159000525 (that link goes...
