    Are Tradenet commissions actually .0075, or higher?

    They pass them through, but it's fixed at .0075. Maybe they are a broker-dealer. They have different tiers. For $6000, they will give a $160k live account, as long as you don't do anything crazy in sim for 5 days. It's no margin, so more like a $40k account.

    Are options less regulated than equities?

    Equities have alot of regulations, requiring licenses to trade with investments from other people. As well as only allowing set fees, not profit splits. Are options more free from these restrictions and license requirements(Series 7 etc)?

    What moving average is most significant on the 5 minute chart?

    I've seen enough bounces off MA to know that they do something. Though I don't usually trade by them.

    Could this simple formula be profitable?

    I believe he meant that out of 5000 runs of 500 trades, only 2238 were green, not that 2238 make 3R profit.

    Could this simple formula be profitable?

    So hear me out on this. Not practically, but just for discussion's sake. Technically, if someone put on trades with a blindfold, and then put a stop at 1R, and held all winners until 3R, would they be profitable? Every trade can be viewed as a plot point on the chart. Every trade that you take...

    What generates your trading signals?

    I don't know if it's possible to know whether it's a pullback or reversal. I mean, obviously you can wait to see what happens, but then you're losing profit on the next move by getting in late. And it can still reverse after moving up a little bit, and the late entry now gives much less...

    Give your best explanation on why a rounded top is a sign of trend dying.

    Do you take multiple TF into account for trades? My understanding is that the time frame that is most used by traders will have the most logic to it's cycles.

    Trust your gut. If you've had a significant amount of trades, than it's not luck.

    Give your best explanation on why a rounded top is a sign of trend dying.

    I know that this is a rounded top, and not a pullback followed by another long. But I am seeking a good way to explain it conceptually.

    Is it time to throw in the towel?

    Question Regarding PM Gappers

    In my experience, the direction it gapped overnight doesn't tell you whether it will go up or down at the open. But the chat room I am part of uses gappers as a way to find the stocks that will be alive that day.

    Where/how can I master price action to trade it profitably?

    My experience has been to just trade and gain experience. And eventually create a conceptual understanding of how price patterns move, and find the right entries to give you an edge. You'll never create a model that is always right, but you can definitely get an edge.

    IB filling large market orders

    IB sent an email stating that it will not allow large market orders to move prices, and it fills in increments. Has anyone noticed this effect, and is it significantly spread out?
