As we all know, total commission will be a lot higher for those that day trade than swing trade. I do both, with my swings lasting typically 2-3 days MAX. About how much has some of the traders here forked out in commission thus far this year or avg a month? Last two months i've made ~80...

How many shares are you doing? How long are you willing to hold? Will you add onto the position if CAT continues to go higher? CAT long term is definitely a good short. But for the moment I'm staying clear.

Hey GL, Well I dont have a set shorting technique, but the way short plays appear to me is quite simple. I short weak stocks on overbought positions. Usually 1000 share lots and am seeking usually 40 cents intraday and if I dont get that I would let it carry overnight or for a few days...

No trades today Fri 7/11. Worked last night at my real job and slept all throughout the day only to catch a glimpes at the market close. Glad to see the market up today, which will provide for less risky short setups on Monday. No open trades heading into Mon 7/14.

Refering to SLB or GM? SLB broke support popular support at 47. It seems like each and everytime right after I cover SLB, it would tank. Luck always work that way for me.

This is a snapshot of the account after closing the ANF and TGT trades. The margin call was issue at the market opening today July10th, Thursday. Friday, the margin call will go away. Daytrading buying power should be back at 130K+ with no open trades. Good Luck to all.. :)
