Quite a lot of fun today. It was one of those rollercoaster days. I was up $40 down $50 up $80, down 40, up $3 ended down $35 net +$156 gross. Some 300 trades and almost 80,000 shares. Not great for the pnl. But it was sure a lot of fun :D On BCO I managed to trade almost 10% of the...

Students are allowed to risk much less money than traders. A single trader's profits at the end of the month cover the losses of many students.

I have to agree. If you need to sell 20000 shares at some low volume, thin stock you´re probably not going to show your hand and let the market drop on 10 cents before you can execute, you´ll chop it into pieces, use reserves, or hidden offers to hide your hand. Same thing happens with the...

With 5k... too risky. You´ll need impossible returns to make a living out of it. Even if you beat the market 20% a year it would take many years for you to make a living out of it.

Actually the moron is got a name. IBM and Xerox, in that case, but there where other greater morons before them, like the railroad companies at the turn of the century, they had the chance to take the aviation industry but they thought that it was only a fashion, not an industry that would...

What if you use options to be able to sell at the price of the day previous to ex div, one day after ex div... once the stock has already gone down to compensate for div?

Today I had fun. I started the day winning, made about 40 bucks. Then I got killed in ATR... [lost $63 on 300 shares] down to -17 [about $15 from close orders, due to lost from the top]... at this moment I felt quite a lot of anger towards the market. but I didnt do any revenge trades [as I...

Even better :D

They are throwing away 5,000,000$ in january on advertisement through rebates. Charging 20 cents to remove liquidity while paying 25 to add. [per 100 shares]
