1) How do you know how much time others put into this ? 2) 2 yrs, 6 hours + studying ? Easy to say, hard to do. 3) How do u know you want to put this much time into trading and do it for a career if you've never done it before and don't know anything about the markets yet ?

Hope you enjoy all those ECN fees for removing liqudity then. :D

Trading prop from home. Yes, I get leverage that I wouldn't normally have available to me.

Traded like an idiot today. Took a bunch of small loses in a row b/c the market seemed to want to fade a bunch of my picks in a row. Also played a short position at a great entry point, then went downstairs to eat some soup. 6-7 mins later, the position reverses on me and I'm down 15...

moving averages are the only indicator i will rely on at all.

none have great performance if thats all u rely on

I'm in. Sounds like a good time. It is Friday you know :D

$40 Gross, $27 net today. Only placed 12 trades. Tried adding liquidity today so that fees wouldn't complete destroy me. Market chopped way too much for my liking. Didn't place one trade after 1:00. thats not like me. Went to lunch from 1:30-2:00. Missed two would be trades that...

Forgot to note that I figured out how to see all my fees. Gotta load 'default fees' file under settings. That might freaking help. Lol.

gimmie a nice nose dive into the close. I'm sick of the freakin' chop I've had to deal w/ the last 2 hours or so.

Ha, I agree 100%. I've always used the saying "80% of the population are idiots". Instead, I should switch that around to 80% of people act like idiots 80% of the time. lol. Good one.

Tried that today. Thanks man. Placed a limit between the spread for both my buy and sell order. Saved a buck for 200 shares total.

Made $82 today. Net $67. Gotta stop doing so many market orders. My $.004 per share is turning into like $.006 per share b/c every order i place is MKT. No hestitation today. No non-system crap. No buying / shorting of stocks in which I needed a wide stop for. Really focused on not...

I'm sorry. yes I'm $.004 per share. $4 per 1000 shares. I'm not scalping. But i'm not holding too long. On a $50 stock, I'm looking for a 40-50 cent gain. Usually i'm holding btwn 10-25 mins Therefore, if the spread isn't that high, should i be placing a limit order of a penny above the...

Well on a more serious note, 1:05 to 1:25 est provided a nice power up move in the market. Yet, none of the stocks i've been watching made any significant moves. IF we see a any significant selling pressure, we might fall hard. Then again, wtf do I know.............very little, thats...

what're you looking for ? volatility ?

So I always execute market orders. I pay .004 cents per share in fees, but I'm only trading 100 share lots right now. Yesterday I lost $65, but w/ fees i ended up w/ $104 in loses. Only traded about 4600 shares i believe. I'm on sterling and can't get it to show all of my fees. So...

Not posting an attachment. Too lazy. Realized: -$65 for the day. Summary of the day: First trade of the day.....confused it w/ a system play. Impatience. NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN. 2nd trade: Hesitation by 10 fucking minutes, and still bought. 3rd trade: hesitation. bought too...

0 Fat finger mistakes 0 non-system plays Less hesitation, but still missed out on a few I shoulda pulled the trigger for. Protected profits too much towards the end.....ended up in me losing $. Left a few entries on the table b/c of it. Still working on this hesitation thing. Slightly...

Ha, if they really wanted to get dirty, they should have taken AIG out before the gap down today. Coulda saved a few points, lol.
