You might also want to correct against the trend of the market. For instance if a stock is in the S&P and the S&P is up 1.1% and your stock is up .9%, then you aren't really looking at a winner, just a follower. It's Sunday so please don't try to trade these tomorrow without looking at fresh...

Using foul language helps? Okay, then. I was just asking. I honestly don't care what you two are arguing about or why you think arguing about whatever it is, is a productive use of your time. I was just curious about the ungentlemanly manner of speech, with all the F-bombs and whatnot, as if you...

Do you talk to people like this, in 3D? Just wondering...

Buying and holding one share of QQQ is a good way to get your feet wet. At the same time, paper trade and learn your platform. Set up your hotkeys or hot buttons or macros or any other shortcuts available to you, so it doesn't take two minutes to enter or close a position. PRACTICE on your paper...

I held 160sh TQQQ over the weekend and finally had to dump it yesterday evening. It was a license to print money. Today I had to switch to the Micros. Looking at the one day chart it looks like there is room for another good run but I am sticking with the futures for now, particularly MNQ.

IB starts executing orders on American stock exchanges at 0400 and doesn't shut it down until 2000, least coast time. But that's not all. Apart from SA - TH 2245 - 2345 and FR 2200 - 0200 system reset times, the system is up around the clock. I sometimes trade E-Minis or Micros with IB and I...

TradingView and FInviz are also pretty good. I like TradingView's scanner. They have beautiful charts and indicators, as well. I have a small Alpaca account that I used to trade regularly, using TradingView as my platform. It actually worked surprisingly well though nothing like a more grown-up...

Nice. Penny stocks can be a lot of fun and sometimes profitable to trade, with a small account, and you lucked into a good trade opportunity. Index futures can be pretty good, too, if you have enough funds to cover the margin for a couple of Micro-EMini contracts. Take a look at what MNQ has...

I got burned too many times buying the breakout. If I see it early enough I will buy with a trailing stop but my main focus is watching for consolidation after a top and then buying with the next volume/price increase, initially with a tight stop that gets moved up once I am solidly in the...

Gained 4% in one hour this afternoon. I find it one of the most interesting ETFs to trade or even to hold. As long as you drop it when it starts looking like a top reversal. It's diversified. It's leveraged. It's liquid and it can be very volatile.

It doesn't mean anything except sometimes I have time for this forum, sometimes I don't.

Yeah. Some. I've done it before. Some of that TQQQ I have held since November. I'll be selling all or most when it gets back up to $112 I think. I might change my mind, but nobody else will change it for me. I am definitely not an all talk and no action guy. There's no profit in that. Probably...

GO TQQQ!!!!! GO BABY GO!!!! Sorry, SQQQ you are yesterday's news. At least for now.

Bought CCL at $17.77, looks like it is finally headed for the moon.

I got pasted by the NASDAQ in the early morning, but I quickly ditched my index funds and the non performing stocks and made a good lick on the long side, with CCIV, RNWK, USO, LUV, and good ol CCL. I have a small vestigal account with Alpaca and I have been holding a few shares for several...

@expiated, if you like ETFs then you might also look into treasury ETFs like TMF and TMV or maybe TTT. When stocks are going up, treasuries are going down and vice versa. Between TMF/TMV, TQQQ/SQQQ, NUGT/DUST, GUSH/DRIP, and LABU/LABD, you can diversify quite a bit with just ETFs. The only thing...

LOL I dont even know where to start or if I should even bother. No skin off my nose, after all. But let's see... numbers refer to your paragraphs. I may skip one here or there if it is just too much trouble to spell it out for you. 1. PowerShell does actually sound pretty good. Sounds like MS...

I don't care that it is free, though that is certainly a good thing. Linux is simply a superior system. It is WAY more secure, for one thing. There is no commercial bloatware riding along in a typical install of the popular distros. It is efficient and runs well on older hardware, turning an old...

I have a small account with Alpaca and I use TradingView as the trading platform. I really like TradingView's charting and scanning. Sad to say, Alpaca leaves a lot to be desired as a broker but should be just fine for buying and holding for a while. There are several brokerages that are...

Okay I give up. I used the layout library to pick out a couple of standard layouts and set them up as tabs in one of the windows. I will work from there. This should be a thing.
