Why do you need to know? Does it really matter anyways? As a trader you make money no matter what the market does. As long as the volatility is there, who cares?

Hedgefndtrader You are a big dumb neanderthal. The best trades lose 60% to 70% of the time. They make all their money from the remaining 20 to 30 % of the trades. The fact that you say the best traders are always right prove that you are just a newbie trying to lose your first...

why are you letting your losers go? Your winners should be at least 1.5 times the size of your biggest losers. If your average winners are 6 ticks, then your biggest loser cannot be more than 3 ticks. It is not rocket science.

Stop saying fundies,you fruit!!

Don't be stupid. Go to a casino and play poker, save up to 40k and open an online account. If you can't, go pick up a good book on options and play straddle on volatile stocks like google,if you are lucky you might have enough to daytrade before you lose that $1500.

What if you kept buying BSC and lose it all practically overnight?

The market is a scam, how? Nobody told you to buy the bottom or sell the top. Nobody told you to double down on the way down. Nobody told you to buy on analyst recommendations. Nobody told you to hold positions overnight. Nobody told you to trade with 5k. etc etc etc...

Funny how you have figured out the market after 5 weeks of trading. Hilarious when you said you are trading in 200 shares lot. There are people who have done this for years and still lose money. There is nothing to figure out! There is no silver bullet! There is no magic...

I don't know anyone who is happier buying a BMW for their neighbor when they are driving a beat up K car.

I think SEC did a 5 years study on the uptick rule and they think that the uptick rule can be abolished and now this idiot Cramer is calling for a reversal just because the market got slammed? Puh-Lee-ze

Used to do that when I was trading prop. and we got fined heavily for that. Selling long isn't the same as selling short but if IB lets you do that, that's cool.

This is the first time I am exposed to IB. Been trading for a while using Hammer platform. TWS is not as intuitive and easy to use. Stop the flaming. :) Thanks for the links though.

I am just wondering how do you enter a short order using TWS. What other trading platform that you can use with IB? TWS is confusing as hell. Thanks in advance.

This topic is moot in my opinion. 25K is the barely the minimum that you can day trade with. Even with 4-1 leverage you only have about 100k in buying power and you can only buy about 1000 shares worth of stocks. And if you can't trade at these levels, you can't make money in the long run...

It is painful to see how you trade. Can you tell us what strategy are you using? Trend following? Support resistant? Scalping? IF you really want some feedback. Post some of your trades, including entry, exit and why you pick the stock to begin with.

As long as it trends lower or higher, I don't care. Just don't chop.

1. Nobody is happy all the time, that is not possible. If it was possible, life will be very dull and we would die from boredom. 2. You could be sad when you are broke and you could also be sad when you have a lot of money. Why? BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to be happy all the time. 3. The...

at the pictures of your girlfriend

picture is anything wrong, you should be really concern if I have naked men on my screen savers. lol.

I don't think letting the world knows that I have hundreds of nude women on my computer is of any concerns to trading, don't you think?
