Practically everyone loses at first. It is understood at Poker, that your first 100 games are nothing but lessons and that those lessons will cost money. Trading is not so different in that respect. You can learn a lot by paper trading and you should paper trade for a while, I don't care what...

I held STKL, TQQQ, and AMD over the weekend. I would have made a lot more profit off TQQQ but I stayed up until the premarket open to see how the gap went. Mrs Monster worked an all nighter and she was supposed to wake me just before the opening bell and she didn't because she didn't have time...

STKL

Oh yeah I hadn't thought about two cash accounts. Really though, it seems like two cash accounts would be only marginally better than one? But anyway I am set with IB again and still have my Alpaca account so at least now I have a max of 6 day trades. Honestly I have had pretty good results so...

I thought Windows 3.1 wasn't being updated anymore. Anyway smart Rednecks have all upgraded to OS/2 Warp, or the eddicated ones to Linux.

Another interesting idea... it appears that if day trades are less than 6% of all a trader's trades, then he is not flagged even if he makes four or more day trades. And now we have brokers with zero commissions. If I open 200 positions, say, and hold them overnight, then I can make 200 x .06 =...

No, still 3 in and out day trades. You get stuck in the fourth. If you find an exploit in the platform and manage to close the 4th one, you get flagged and you know the rest. I have been blocked from selling the 4th trade. I got around it once and got flagged, had to do the reset.

Actually moving would be impractical for us until Mrs. Monster retires. I was rocking a $50k account last year, tried something that in hindsight was pretty dumb, took a bad beat, decided to stop trading for a while, got back in the game a couple months ago with the understanding that I didn't...

Let's say I am trading with a $10k stake and have it split between two separate margin accounts with the same brokerage. Can I make three day trades in 5 days on each account for a total of 6 day trades in the rolling 5 day period? I am assuming that if I have accounts at two separate...

Celery sticks and quinoa. There's your punishment. Or hummus.

Vienna sausages = punishment? Every Redneck's tackle box contains at least one can of vienna sausages. And don't even start on spam or fried baloney. Trailer park tenderloin.

IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, it is low risk, low profit. A few bucks here, a few bucks there, holding positions for minutes or even seconds... seems like such a grind, to me. But it's all about picking your entry so you start out in the green, and not giving up anything. Stop loss set high...

Buy the dip, not the high. This is probably not the best time to buy stocks heavily for long term hold. The whole house of cards is subject to fold flat any day now. Just a couple of ideas. Until we get past the next market crash, think about ETFs based on government bonds. ITE, SHY, TIPS, or...

This morning's downgap of TQQQ overnight is exactly what I was talking about. Wow... +11% from the dip. It was like an escalator. Nobody could have screwed that up and not made good money. I stayed out because the plan was to stay out and I don't have premarket trading with current broker...

Holey Cow! The NASDAQ went like a rocket today! From 0400 to now, TQQQ is +11%! I probably should have traded it today but the plan was to stay out until I have three day trades saved up and so I did. Anyway Alpaca doesn't let me trade outside of RTH. So I reactivated my old IB account and...

I don't see how it would get deleted unless you delete it. By default in Linux it is saved in your ~/Pictures directory. I imagine something similar in WinDOHs. I am no longer familiar with the file system in that OS since W8.

I don't do the schedule thing. Sometimes I will stay up til 0300 local time (CST) and see if something is gapping. Or set the alarm and get up really early for same thing. Mostly I get up when I get up and trade when I trade, quit when I quit. Wife brings me my morning cappuccino and if there is...

So much simpler to just install Ubuntu or Mint. It is insane how much crap you have to go through with WinDOHs.

Are you really sure you want to get into this? I have a LOT of books on day trading stocks. Lets see... Random pick but it just happens to be the first book I read on the subject and a pretty good one. "How To Day Trade For A Living", by Dr. Andrew Aziz. Most books just repeat the same stuff...

HAHAHAHA LOL I havent seen his chat room reviewed yet, either. Well, I don't do chat rooms especially paid ones but hey its only $7 so somebody ought to take one for the team here. Seems like a good guy. And my thinking is you will learn more from other visitors to a chatroom than from...
