The kid been trading for a few months and obviously is looking to improve himself. Why be a dick and post this sort of message?

NYSE is more inefficient, and inefficiencies are much easy to take advantage of.

In my 2nd month of trading, I too had a blowup on AMAT. My biggest up day to that point was maybe $150 (mind you this was my 2nd month) and this one day I kept adding and adding to my AMAT position, terrified of taking a loss. All in all, I had 7500 shares and lost .48 cents. It was...

How long have you been trading and what are you up for the year?

I hear ya man, the great thing about trading is that there is always room for improvement. It sounds like you are doing well and I am sure if you stick to your game plan and are consistent, its only a matter of time before you step up your size and also hold to catch bigger moves in the right...

Dont think -800.00 for the year constitutes a blowup.

That move in MU was so easy, I'm surprised you didnt make more today. Thats the kind of setup you take 8000 shares for a 15+ cents. But either way, at least you were in it and made something.

I believe you are confusing Manhattan with New Jersey.

How do you define "good" when talking about traders? Is it a set dollar amount earned per year? Whats the criteria exactly? Some consider earning enough to live on as good, others arent content unless they are pulling in 7 figures.

he is up 200k this year so far so he is definitely getting some mileage out of his shares.

I agree, 5 million is def a lot. the guy who sits behind me right now actually pushes close to 10 mil a month during good months. I, myself, do a little over a million a month on average but now i am finding myself having a hard time keeping it under 50k a day even on slow days. on good days i...

How long have you been trading?
