No fills, only 4 stocks.

Not so for me. Maybe I trade differently when I have 3-4 closed trades and am green on the P/L. A sucker is a sucker for me, it just gets averaged down when I have many fills.

If you take an average of 5 cents per share, 5 fills per day it makes 25 cents. 25 cents on 100 shares each = 25$, 250$ on 1000 shares. 0.05 average per share is a good number so you may do the numbers with 0.02 as pessimistic. To make yourself a realistic average you can scan through the...

It does. There is not a big gap between winning and losing. But I think there is something to do.

For me if I trade 100 shares and make 10 cents I say +0.10 average. So it's one side and it make sense that way!

5 fills, 3 longs, 2 shorts. 4 winners, 1 small loser. +0.12 average.

As I said, not if there is a lot of volatility. Spread 2-9 and you expect a 60-100 pip move in 2-5 minutes gives you a good risk reward ratio.

I dont use the 5 sec but the tick. Usefull for entry point. If you want to play the 5 sec with confirmation from the 5 minutes, 10 minutes... you want to do that in periods of high volatility otherwise the spreads will eat you. Good for news. Au plaisir cousin.

If you take the time to read you will see that there are 2 fee schedule at IB. One is a fix 0.50 and the other is 0.35 to IB and then you add/subscract exchange fees/rebate. So both are true. 4.75 was not round trip.

I guess it depends if you have money to support yourself (and familly!) on the side. Also, you start from scratch or you already know how to trade.

Oh, 0.5 with IB as long as I remember. Not always but usually. But you have a 2.50$ comish per trade. If you play some size it's worth it. Leverage only at 50.

2 pips EUR/USD with Interbank FX usually. Larger on news and at the open on sunday.

I also would like to know.

4 fills, all shorts, 3 winners, 1 loser. + 0.19 average. Could have been more patient. Cancelled over 60%, played tight. What a month!

Slashed WMB and all oils on a likely OPEC cut.

Decent. 8 fills 4 longs, 4 shorts. 7 winners, 1 loser. + 0.11 average. Cancelled 50%, played tight. Shaky open.

If someone from an unknown insurance company knocked to your door, you you buy his shit? Same thing.

You are right, this is hardcore capitalism. But I think you miss something. Do you do buy your groceries at a dirty cheap ass chineese end of street kind of place or do you go to a reputable business where you expect fresh products and things? Obviously, you get your stuff where you feel safe...

Re-read and see that he's not talking about pot for making a "legalize now" statement but the fact that it's illegal for business reasons.

When you buy physical you go somewhere they will sell it to you. usually they make a spread on both the buying and the selling. On coins it can be a large spread, unless you are buyin a lot. We are talking dollars on the ounce, not pennies like with ETFs. Look at Kitco for 1 oz Maple Olympic...
