    Starting out - What tools?

    <i>I admit my "ego" is big, everyone thinks that of me - What others call arrogance, ego I simply call "a very healthy dose of self esteem" And about advice: Yes & No: I ask advice on what broker I should use, not on HOW I should trade. I'll find out myself thank you.</i> All I'm trying...

    Starting out - What tools?

    You're going to get killed. Please let us know how it goes when you start off trading 3000-5000 shares. It seems that your ego is so big that you don't really want much advice. Your whole approach IS questionable, regardless of how "lovely" you think that comment is. You're going to...

    Age and trading

    "Trading" can mean different things. You can hold a position for weeks at a time or seconds at a time. There is nothing wrong with trying out swing and position trading. At 55, the Grim Reaper is not knocking yet. I would recommend staying away from fast-fingers scalping, which has really...

    Starting out - What tools?

    You're going to get killed. 3-5 round trips a day is plenty hyperactive, way too much for Ameritrade. And are you going to START with 5k shares? That's insanity. Get IB or Pointdirex or another cents/share broker. Trade 100 share lots until you make money consistently. Good luck.

    Newbie question - $25K limit

    You can always liquidate, but circumstances could arise in which a swing trader who is flirting with the PD designation could enter an intended multi-day trade and be in a situation where his stop is hit that same day. If he liquidates it the same day and has made day trades in the previous few...

    S&P 500 squawk box pit call

    http://www.los.net/ http://www.realtimefutures.com/ They are both good, imo. The los.net is a little more laid-back. The RTF guy has more personality.

    brokerage house vs. trading firm?

    As a retail broker you are a glorified telemarketer, dialing for dollars. Your education will get you a broker job if you want it. As a trader, you just trade at a computer. No sales, no clients, no phone calls. Your education does not mean much. Maybe it will help get you funded without...

    That's just the last node before the trace dies. I don't know why neotrace drew a line out to Saudi Arabia at the end of the map. I guess it could really be anywhere in the middle east. But anyway, it still looks more like the Middle East than Russia. The user's use of English and...

    Overtrading

    <i>I get out of control and blowup</i> I imagine you lose a lot of money on these days? If you were trading someone else's money, they would put a daily loss limit on your trading. IMHO, this is the most important rule of all. When you approach the limit, and then hit it, the pressure is...
