hahahahaha I won't get into that. That's another topic, to me business first women after

It is with interactive brokers, I was only really concerned with smaller stocks. Like I said I have a little bit of a strange philosophy on trading, but if you're interested I could show you over skype or something and get your input. It doesn't always work but I think the most annoying thing...

It's a particular setup and i've looked back on previous charts and it's always worked. and no, I'm looking to at least make 2/1 if not 10/1. It also can be leveraged because your risk % is usually very low. But my main question out of this is if there is really a problem trading 50 shares or...

I've done testing on this for a long time, usually by the time it falls through my stop loss it's over. I have some odd philosophies about price action but I really think they work. I have never been so accurate with paper trading after I adopted this strategy and I'm always getting a better...

To me, it's all about having money you've made in the market and basing your risk off of that. I don't really think it makes too much of a difference betting with 100k if you've made 500k trading. likewise, I haven't made anything, I've lost. I definitely think my new strategy works and I'm...

Well, last time I blew up using his money with much larger size. The market had changed after I first started with real money and I was in way too big for the time period. My fees were also much higher. I created a brand new strategy after losing and my new strategy is extremely mechanical...

I'm so disappointed in myself, I have a 27000 dollar account. I've been working on my strategy for about a year full time and when it came down to it I couldn't pull the trigger with real money. On average I'm risking less than 10 dollars a trade.. Every time I haven't pulled the trigger when I...

I've never used my own account. If that is the case though the choice is yours, lose 100k or never touch the stock market again. I think I would choose the second choice? if I was in that kind of position, that's more money than he's probably going to make in the market ever

also, why exactly do you have to pay this back? Wouldn't you figure you lost your money and that's it. close your account? if there is no money there is no money

I think he did, he said to get over it because he's had a bad loss before

Do most people use a stop on the last price? I have been trading with bid and ask stops for over a year and I think I like them more. Is it really just personal preference? It seems like a trade off, you lose more if it hits the last but maybe you won't get kicked out as quickly just to have...

Ib is really good, I'm referring to how expensive suretrader was. I'll be honest with you, you're better off saving up and going with a good broker. In my opinion suretrader gouges small accounts, but if you're just looking to trade and think you're good enough then It doesn't matter. Go check...

suretrader is fine for what you're asking, they had a lot of fees though.. Half of my loses were fees to them when I first started trading, I'm now with IB. It's 120 for the platform per month 5 dollars a trade plus .005 per 1000 shares after and ecn fees which is another .003 per share. They...

Not worth it to me. I don't trust the stock market, I can make plenty of money during the day and get a good night sleep while starting fresh in the morning. Like I said, even reputable companies like apple tanked hard during that overnight crash. Successful people who have their life savings in...

To me I like to be in and out during the day.. I remember I used to have an overnight gap strategy where I would usually make 10-40 percent with paper money. I soon found out it was just about impossible with real money, I remember having one of the worst nights of my life being in a large short...

In my opinion there is more risk with larger stocks, especially ones in play. They have larger spreads and they can fluctuate 50 cents in a tick if low float. I don't trade anything over 60 dollars.. And I don't really like to trade anything over 30.. Obviously you can use smaller positions but...

Being 22 I also started my trading with family money through my dad. My first day last year starting October was terrible, I didn't have enough experience and the market had changed compared to what it was the 2 months before. Was overconfident and ended up blowing up 30% of the account [lost...

Right I understand it's different, but that's my question is if it's usable. It's just something I've been testing the last day, I don't even really trade forex. But I was playing with some paper trades using it on forex and did alright. it made the chart nicer, However I feel like it could be a...

Are we even talking about the same thing. This isn't just an indicator, it's a completely different chart. I don't buy on breakouts, and this seems to show which pullbacks are real and it leaves the chart with a cleaner pattern. My only concern is the bars update differently, but if you're...

I'm currently using these on tick and 1m time frames and I really like the way the candlesticks look but is the data actually real? Mainly for entering.. I really like how they get rid of a lot of the volatility and make the chart nicer/more legible but i feel like you could get burned easier or...
