After holding 10 shares TSLA overnight I was a fair bit to the upside at the opening bell. About 1030 I bought another 6 shares on margin. Looked good and I was gonna just ride out the afternoon dip but I had no inkling it would be so deep. If I had a clue I would have DEFINITELY sold off the...

And yeah, TSLA. I was doing great in it but the afternoon dip was a monster. If I had known it would be so hyooge I would have sold off and picked it all back up at the bottom and used up a day trade. I finally had myself up over $25k, too. Well there's always tomorrow and the day isn't over...

THANKS! That could be a handy thing to turn on once in a while but no way do I want it there all the time. Now I can get rid of those stupid arrows.

It is working. I am seriously about to liquidate and move all my money into my Alpaca account.

Har har.

I can't trade like this. This is unusable. I have no idea what those arrows are doing there but I would sure like to get rid of them. They didn't use to be there. I must have done something but I have gone all through settings and trying stuff while my stock is headed for the dirt and I need to...

High point today I was up to $23399 but finished at $23259. Had one big afternoon dip that I should have either ignored, or acknowledged the obvious reversal signal leading into it and bailed immediately. As it was, I had moved my stop up and resolved to not move it back down. So I stop out on...

$2100 seems to be holding as a support. I moved my stops up to $2097. It had pinged the $2100 line from the upside twice now, and held. If it pushes on down below my stop level it is probably going down considerably, deep enough to pick it back up again at the bottom reversal. That locks in...

15 minutes before the bell and I am now up well over $500 on the big TSLA swing. I hope those Robinhooders will keep piling on for a few more weeks. Ding ding ding! The first couple minutes spiked my profit up to $700-ish and that would have been a great time to take the money and run but I am...

I wasn't expecting anything in the post market, but I got a small boost anyway. My $9k IB account gained $184 and Alpaca account that I have been trading all along gained $276 for a total gain of $460 on $20200 roughly give or take a buck giving me a profit of 2.28%. I really wasn't looking to...

So at the closing bell I ended a couple hundred up. Meh. I would not have been surprised or disappointed to end the day down by the same amount. In it for the longer term. But hey that's a percent, and any 1% day is okay when you weren't expecting anything much. I definitely jumped in too early...

Yeah I haven't been posting on this thread. Nothing good happening. Down to $13k on my $12k account. The good news is I have my IB account up and running with $9k in it. The bad news is I can't make heads or tails of it. I got to learn the platform all over again. Took me 20 minutes this morning...

Trends are easy enough to spot and verify with various moving average indicators, from SMA or EMA or VWAP to crossovers, MACD, Bollinger bands, etc. If the moving average is slanted upward and the stock remains solidly above it, well, there you go. If it moves toward crossing below the MA, you...

It would seem like stocks that shoot up fast enough to get a trading halt, might be very interested to trade on a very short timeframe. Does anyone here do this? What is your strategy? Asking for a friend.

TSLA, as soon as it makes another dip. It is starting to do that, now. One more day, two at the most, and the bird is done, ready to carve. Once it tags the lower Bollinger limit, you know it is gonna soar for about 8 days and give up 5% per day average, then dip and do it again. It's driving...

The hard part about playing your cards right is there are so many cards and so many ways to play them, and only some of them are right.

Nobody else is making production, road ready, street/highway legal electric cars for $50k that have a pure electric range of over 300 miles. And it's not the software. Or the BMS. Or the batteries. It's not the motors or the styling. It's the everything optimized and working together. It's the...

Those look tender and tasty. I imagine smothered in a roux and Ro-Tel tomatoes and served over rice, they would be excellent. Probably better than squirrel.

This was maybe the wrong subforum to post this in. Don't waste your money on courses. If you have reasonable intelligence and reading comprehension, just get a couple of books from Amazon. They are pretty much all the same, TBH. Then read them again. The only way to read a "how to day trade...

I subbed and instantly regretted it. The content wasn't all that. My email account was totally useless for several days. They are worse than WSJ for swamping you with stuff and especially offers of a lifetime LOL. I have often read their syndicated column in the newspapers and they always seemed...
