how much leverage do you get at a pro firm? thanks

well, my timeframe is not usually round trip intraday...unless i get stopped out. usually my trades last anywhere from a few days to a few months.

just go to the yahoo message boards and you'll find plenty of messages like this one: "Yeah, I was in a store the other day. The sales guy didn't have the time of day for me, so I figured he must be VERY busy (good sign, right?) Also, the guy SEEMED really happy, so I bought 50,000 shares at...

lol

could someone please tell me how/where to do this? thanks

when you guys are filtering out stocks, how much volume do you like? i know this depends on what kind of trading you do and your time frame, but i'm just curious what people have to say.

this is exactly what i wanted..thanks guys!

i think he was referring to me..lol in a previous post i mentioned that, once a trade is profitable, if you put your stops too tight, it will be hard to let your profits run. on the other hand, if you set them too wide, you might give back a lot of your profits.

i know this isn't really a trading question, but since a lot of us here probably use excel, i think i might be able to get an answer. say i have a column of 5 numbers. the numbers are how much % i made or lost. for example, say my last 5 trades were: +3% -1% +7% +2% -2% is there...

the answer to this question is NO.

how/where do you do this? thanks

i think he was just referring to the game i posted in message #1 of this thread. once you know how to play that game, it is pretty easy to make money. i don't think he meant real trading was easy/stealing.

why do you only want to deal with blocks of 500? when i determine how many shares i can buy/short, i will use whatever the calculated number is....431 shares, 683 shares...whatever. as my account size increases :) or decreases :(, my trade sizes will also adjust accordingly.
