I wasn't clear enough I guess. I meant 3 intra day round trips. I am aware that it is a 5 day rolling period but most of the time I will re enter at some point in the morning, and so I usually just figure on making three trades on my trading day. Wasn't thinking about a single trade in a day. So...

I would give DAS a miss, until you are both fully capitalized and seeing good consistent returns. Also, are you U.S. based? With a U.S. margin account, if you are day trading stocks, you can only make 3 day trades in any 5 trading day period. At the 4th trade your account will be frozen. It's...

Scalping in sim/demo is a trading style where the difference between sim or "paper" trading, and live trading, is probably greatest. With live trading, lots of things will eat you up when scalping. Order execution speed. Spread. Commissions. The human element. There are a lot of scalpers out...

Starting with a single strategy is not a bad way to go. If you don't see the right setup, you just don't trade. When you do see your pet pattern developing, don't hesitate.

Out of Poker, Blackjack, and Day Trading, Blackjack is by far the easiest. That is not to say it is easy... just easier. You have to be quick with numbers and not forget the count. That much is obvious. But that isn't the hard part. You can develop this over say a hundred hours of sim time. The...

Seems that orders can be changed right up until they are executed. The quick and dirty way to set split/scaled target or stop orders is to place TWO entry orders with attached brackets. Just hit your hotkey twice. Bam Bam. Move the target and stop loss orders as you see fit by clicking and...

I dug. Never hit pay dirt. It SHOULD be there but I don't see it.

That. Word.

How bout that. Two tambourine songs in a row.

There's that, too, yeah. If you devote an hour every morning, not so bad. If you are making anything at all, it is worth it, for an hour of your time. If you get up 3 hours before the market and read the news or tweak your scanner or whatever, and sit in front of your monitor array from bell to...
