Hmm... I hadn't realize that capital gains from trading falls under this. This year my trading so far on a monthly basis(ony 1 month so far) is exceeding my monthly salary! I know this is a good problem to have! haha. And February is shaping up to be a strong month too. Maybe I should consult a...

You say pay estimated tax on ANY income? I have a full-time corporate job. And I'm trading on the side. And my trading has been doing really well. I'm being to think about taxes. But trading gains are considered CAPITAL GAINS and NOT income right? So I should NOT have to worry about estimated...

The best purely daytrade profits so far. Meaning getting in and getting out in minutes. Swing trading I had higher profits but more volatile results. Just realized that daytrading options can be highly profitable if you are quick...

Just made some more! I have a few good edges. Just need to keep executing those and avoid the randoms tuff.

Today I traded small to mid cap stock that came up on my scanner. In and out. I feel like I have an edge. I consistently make decent profits. When I'm down it's a careless mistakes or misjudging. then I recover the next day or a few days later. Very exciting times. Just keep doing it then...

I was on a nonstop winning streak every single trade and every single day. Today I took a loss. Not a massive one. But a dent. But I'm glad I very good at taking losses. If I'm wrong I'm out. no indecision. In the past, I would get out at catastrophic levels. Nowadays I see oops I'm wrong. Out...

@destriero : I like to join your thread and post my performance. I have Robinhood which has nonexistent analytics. I have to wait til monthend to get a report. But I track my daily close everyday and compute my returns then. MTD so far I'm up 31%. I'm looking forward to keeping this pace up...

Just an update. I've made a lot of progress! One of my account I was down 68%!!! From that low point(thanks to margins), I was able to make back all of the losses and now higher than my original invested amount. More importantly, the wins were not as volatile. They were all the "right kinds" of...

PCG was one of my best stock plays! I made money on BOTH the long AND the short side. I wished I was only played bigger!

I don't like his style. He's a bad trader. He has strong views of the market which is good but you have to be flexible to price action. He's not. His returns are all over the map. When he wins he wins big. When he loses he loses big. Down huge. Up huge. He trades like I used to in the beginning...

Just when I leave my eyes off of gold for a few days then it explodes! I was playing other instruments/stocks. Should have gotten back in on thurs for the Friday explosion. There was a support on the daily chart. let's see what's next..

My exit was driven by a reasoning and not just wait and see. The highs for my particular call options were 2.65. So I tried to exit from 2.10 to 2.55s. When it started stalling and falling again , I decided to get out everything. The last bit around 2.18. Always have to have an exit point in...

With hindsight, when I exited my calls I should consider getting some puts. Those puts went up triple digits on Friday. LOL. Next time..

I'm so glad I got out all of my call options on Monday. Sure I could have waited til Tuesday and got slightly better prices. But waiting til today would have been a total disaster! Now looking for my next play and setup...

Exit your call options?

still in those call options?

do you guys know of a good real-time gap scanner? I know there's trade-ideas. I've tried it briefly. It's expensive and too busy. Too many things to track. I'm using finviz.com(free version). But it's not quite real-time. I'll continue to test out finviz. Please let me know any good ones free...

No, I am NOT that type of trader. I don't trade OTM weeklies. I wished I coulda,woulda sold at better prices. But then I move onto the next trade.

Since I started my full-time corporate job(see earlier portion of this thread), I now mostly swing trade. So there are long stretches where I just hold onto positions for weeks on end. Lately, I started adding a few special situation daytrades. Today, for example, I went in and out of PCG for a...
