You can always come back to trading. It's good to explore different opportunities. That's what life is all about. gotta_trade

Very smart move. If you have any questions, just ask. Wish you the best, gotta_trade

Great job. That's day one. Keep it going. Build from there. At some point, you might consider checking out a market and/or broker that is more conducive to your trading style. You want to put yourself on an even playing field with professional traders. Every tool and edge you are...

Take your time and don't rush into it. Congratulations on your degree and your determination to work hard and save up the money to trade fulltime. That's great!! Regarding your situation with Worldco. It's not a good sign when you have second thoughts about a broker before you even open...

When there are two strikes against me, I'll walk off the plate and try to find a different pitcher.

That is the exact reason why I scale out of my trades. I have always scaled out of my daytrading scalps. Now, I'm attempting to do that with my swingtrades. I find it to be a consistent way to make the cash register ring. You gotta close the positions when you can, not when you have to.

Whewwww, that's one for the record books. What a trade that was!!!!

proptr8r, The above post is what I was referring too. I didn't want Box to think that the above quote/strategy was a way to have a true edge in the marketplace. But, then again, maybe someone can choose to watch something like that. I just choose not to. (I only daytade NYSE stocks)...

Great to hear. I would love to trade for the rest of my life.

Plain and simple: Are you a daytrader or a swing trader? I'll start: I'm a daytrader and I'm dipping my toes into the world of swing trading. What about you???

I'm a daytrader. I consider a: Base hit ................01-.25 double ..................26-.50 triple ....................51-.99 homerun....................over 1 point gotta_trade

GREAT POST!!!

I think the markets should be open every Saturday from 9:30-12:00. How nice would that be?

My daytrading is 100% small gains and grinding it out. No homeruns for me. If I make a "triple", I feel like a hero and then I pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming. Other than that, it's grind, grind, and grind.

Yes, passion for trading is essential for success. It's impossible to be a consistently profitable daytrader without it. If someone wants to be a consistent winner in any field, I believe passion is an essential ingredient. (just my opinion)

Quote from jbtrader23: With any photos or prints, I'd like to capture the emotional essence of Wall Street, whether fear or greed, panic or euphoria. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That was a good one!!! LOL

1) Started when I was 24 2) I have been daytrading for about 9 years 3) I just sat and watched for my first 3 months. After that I only took 100 share positions. Then I moved up from there. I was fortunate that I was able to follow in the footsteps of a mentor. My mentor was my boss...
