Bare Bones: I buy stocks that are going up. I keep them if they continue to advance. I sell if they break their trend line. I know it's old hat but I keep my losses small and let my winners run. In March I sold some positions I had held since 2009.

Don't feed the trolls. Focus on the issues not the personalities.

Like yourself I think it unfair to post things that are untrue; to accuse someone of being a scam without some proof to back up the claim. I'm not doubting that you were up 2k or 9k for that matter of fact. The numbers don't really matter; It doesn't matter what your account size is; I'm just...

In other threads you have mentioned having good days where you made anywhere from 2 to 9 thousand dollars in a day. Can you put that in context by sharing the account size you are trading? A 100k account and I'm impressed. 9% a day is great, even 2% is awesome. A million dollar account is still...

I can see the advantage of scaling in. I do that myself. I can also see scaling out at a profit although I don't do that. Scaling out at a loss is something I have trouble wrapping my head around. Today I took a small position in SPXS after 10 am when it started to show some strength. I would...

How are your stops executed? Trading small positions like you do does it make sense to scale out? Trading any size position why scale out? isn't the stop set where you are wrong and if you are wrong, why prolong the pain?

Questions if you don't mind. Why all of them, would not one position be easier to manage at the open? What is your exit strategy if they gap open against you?

Can't you show past performance if you use the past performance disclaimer? The reason I'm asking is that I believe unrealistic expectations are one reason traders fail.

I use Questrade now. I have never waited more than a second for a market order to fill. What are you trading? I'm using triple leveraged ETFs SPXS and SPSL. Trading the open.

What kind of yearly return are you generating?

What do you consider a terrible fill? What are you trading and what type of orders do you use? I traded with IB for years and never had a problem. Or at least what I considered a problem. I consider slippage part of the trading equation. I traded stocks, EFTs and E Minis.

Were you with Fidelity before they switched to free?

What about commissions and sec fees?

Any one here actually take the 7dollar 3 week trial?

Why make it auto recurring? If after 3 weeks one finds it to be of value they will probably subscribe.

swing trade equities. when I'm bored or have to stay home I day trade leveraged index ETFs.

I made a living with a 37% win rate. (2.5 to 1 reward to risk) risking 1% of my capital per trade. Couple of trades a week.

Are you day trading, flat at the end of day?

I have a simple method of portfolio management. I don't hold losing stocks in my portfolio. So in this downturn as the individual positions hit breakeven or broke a long term trend line they were sold. Right now I'm ahead of the game, but the way the market is rebounding maybe not for long...

Thank you. Appreciate you taking the time. Nice to get a review from someone who has taken the course.
