    If you live in FL, but trade elsewhere on vacation, must you pay their state income tax?

    Let's say you live in FL, but take a one month vacation in NY. Are you obligated to pay NY state income tax on the money you make trading from there for that month? Does this count as NY source income even though your physical location really wasn't important when it comes to making money...

    Is there an easy way to get daily data for about 6500 stocks?

    I would like to get this data in an easy to use format. I could download the data for each stock individually and run calculations, but that would probably take me 100 hours. I just want the basics: OHLC, Date, and Volume over a 2 year period.

    Is the IBD 50 ETF underperforming the SPY a sign that growth stocks are priced more correctly now?

    When IBD started tracking these stocks in 2003 they drastically outperformed the SPY. However, since the creation of the actual ETF 4 years ago, it's still underperforming the SPY. Is this a sign that CAN-SLIM is an outdated method to find stocks that can beat the market, because growth is more...

    The BYND fee rate

    I'm saddened by this. Was hoping for a gap up, parabolic squeeze, and drop lol. Maybe yesterday was it. I shorted after it came back to 184 twice, but didn't make much. Buyer stepped in when it went to 165, but it couldn't really stay down.

    The BYND fee rate

    I think TLRY went to 300%. I feel like it's trading like TLRY now. It had a bit of a parabolic move this morning, but didn't have the big drop right off of it like TLRY and LFIN did. Hoping it squeezes to $300 in a day or two like TLRY did. Obviously its valuation is ridiculous at this point. I...

    Multi-time Frame Indicators in Esignal EFS

    I have an indicator, but only want to use it at a new low for the day. For, example, take the bullish engulfing pattern, where a green bar engulfs a red bar: function Find_BullishEngulfing(sFont, nFontSize, cFontColor, cFontBgColor) { var nState = getBarState(); var Open = open(0); var Close =...

    The S&P 500 will top soon at 2925-2930

    I think BYND is a short here. I don't care that they don't make a profit yet (it is a speculative high growth stock) as much as they were trading at 50 times sales. However, even if you believe in their mission, they don't have a monopoly on it, and I don't believe whatever patents they have...

    Very disappointed with Sterling Trader Pro's delays, looking for alternatives

    I have a high performance computer and my Esignal works fine so I don't see the problem being anything except Sterling's inability to handle large volume. It's a problem the whole firm is experiencing, not just me. I'm going to scale back how many windows I have open with Sterling for now, but...

    Very disappointed with Sterling Trader Pro's delays, looking for alternatives

    So...I've been using Sterling Trader Pro for 2 years at my prop firm. For some reason the software cannot handle large amounts of volume. It causes delayed quotes on the Level 2. I've had delays for 30 seconds at times at the end of the day. As somebody who does a lot of scalping this is...

    How much taxes do you pay for Daytrading?

    You have to make a lot of money and live in an unfavorable state/city to pay 50% in the US. I live in CT so my top marginal rate is 6.99%. The top federal rate is now 37%. So 43.99% is the top rate I would pay. If you live in NYC then it's 3.876% city, 8.82% state, and 37% federal, so the top...

    Need desk for 6 monitors plus stand

    Personally, I make an average of 40 trades/day. Some days I do over 100. I am a professional day trader and only trade stocks. Some days, like yesterday, when it's slow and the types of stocks I like to trade aren't there I only need 2. Other days I feel like I could use more than the 4 I have...

    Need desk for 6 monitors plus stand

    Why wouldn't you have 6 monitors? Haha. I like to watch a lot of stocks/screeners. I have 4 at my office at work and felt like getting 2 more for my setup at home. Thought about 8 to be honest, because why not?

    Thanks. That looks perfect. Affordably priced. We have Hon desks at work too.

    Need desk for 6 monitors plus stand

    I bought 24'' 6 monitors and a stand. The stand will sit on the desk, not be mounted to it. However, I'm guessing that there will be 75 pounds of weight concentrated in a small area. I want a desk that's ~30'' high, ~30'' deep, and 60-72'' long. I would like to buy something off of Amazon, but I...

    Looking for better software than Esignal to Scan for Stocks

    I use Market Screener Plus with Esignal. My problem with it right now is that there is no "OR" function with it. For example, lets say you want to scan for stocks where either the high or low is a $1 away from the open. In order to do this you would need to create 2 separate scanners. Scanner...

    Can traders setup an S-corp to get the 20% rate deduction?

    I currently work for a prop firm as a w2 employee, but might try to let my employer switch me to 1099 if it makes financial sense. I expect to make over the threshold of $159,000 in 2018. From my understanding you can set up a s-corp in the service industry below $159,000 or in other industries...

    DryShips (DRYS) Declares $2.5M Quarterly Dividend

    They landed a $7.1 million contract today and took out yesterday's high (yesterday was the last reverse split). The short squeeze might be getting ready to get set. I'm curious as to how it reacts to the open tomorrow as it usually sells off early. Obviously the company is a complete piece of...
