    Thanks for your help as well. Although it was a 50 basis cut, the fed day highs were pretty close to your numbers!

    Thanks - it was the "stocks tank" in one statement and "13,800/1520" in the other that I mainly didn't understand. I am new to trading and using ETFs while learning price action. I have kept a fairly equally amount of ETFs up (EWZ, FXI, DDM) and down (QID, DXD). I hold and take profits as...

    "my gut is telling me, 1520 on FED day, and higher the days following it, with retests at 1500 even, till more conclusive evidence economy is falling out. 13800 on dow on FED day. If you look at daily charts, the downward trendy has already been broken, and 50 day MA is already breached. all...

    Two days of going for too much and not following my plan this week: 1. Tried using extra intraday trading money which had to be closed out and could not be held over night. 2. Got overly long-term bearish, thus did not keep postions balanced and did not trade strictly by price action. 3...

    Up or Down by Monday Close?

    I am newer to trading, so I keep positions both ways at different levels in the market with ETFs. I take small profits as the market overtakes a position and try to reposition for a better price on reverse moves/dips. Friday, I unbalanced my positions going into the close with 2/3 down...

    Getting into discretionary trading

    I am new as well, and this is exactly what I have been doing for the past month. I sit in front of my computer from 8:30 to 3:00 (central time) and watch the DOW price move. I tell people that ask me about trading that it is like developing a relationship. It is like knowing what your child...

    my day trading journal

    I have been making between 5-15 total trades per day. I have about $35,000 in the account and about another $35,000 in margain that I do trade with each day. I do hold margin overnight somewhat regularly, but I do not use the "daytrading" money to trade which is another $70,000. The margin...

    my day trading journal

    I found that the $40 roundtrip gave me something to shoot for in just trying to break even on each trade as I am just beginning. I guess at some time I should switch to a direct access broker. Are there any advantages or disadvantages besides commission rates? I found out the "Gold" level...

    I guess I am really overpaying. I have my account at Fidelity since that is where I first started with the mutual funds. I started off paying $19.95 per trade for about the first week. I called Fidelity, and they changed my account to a "Silver" account which changed the fees to $10.95 per...
