I think you circled the wrong candle. That's not 1.4430. Anyway, good luck with your trading!

Today is the ex div date. The dividend is $0.6249. With 5,700 shares that is about $3561.93, payable on 10/31/2011. I'm going to include this in the totals since I will be paid even if I sell my position before then. 9/16 SPY -$10,602.00 hedge $1,897.23 Net for this trade...

looking forward to the rest of your free trial report.

Who would you recommend then for options trading (where you're allowed to do cash secured puts) and also stock trading (assume a few hundred to a few thousand shares of SPY on average)? I'd like to keep everything under one brokerage, and I assume I have to if I'm going to be writing puts in...

My apologies if this is the wrong forum. Anyone used this? I was interested in writing cash secured puts and I just found out my regular Scottrade account, while approved for options, won't allow this. You can only sell covered calls and buy puts and calls with Scottrade. They told me I...

Can you illustrate the H&S? I don't see it.

You could make a ton of money selling options then!

Have a look and tell me what you think

He never said to go long.

They: 1) don't have a profitable system (I would estimate this is 99% of people who give trading a serious try) 2) don't have the emotional control to follow their system (I see this a lot on ET... "If only I'd followed my rules today it woulda been a gain rather than a loss...") 3)...

I have a retirement account. I'm not really a daytrader, though.

In for results. Did they give you the trades in good time for you to place them yourself, or were they like "yeah, 15 minutes ago we bought ES (when it was 4 points lower than it is now)."?

Same stock or different stock. More than 3 roundtrips in a 5 day period = pattern daytrading. US stock market does not trade on weekends. Ohh wait you meant is the weekend included in those 5 days. No. If you do 3 round trips on Friday, you have to wait until next Friday before you can...

SPY -$39,159.00 hedge $4,325.34 Net for this trade : +-$34,833.66 (unrealized) +$1,223.60 (realized) +$2,931.69 (realized) +$1,129.72 (dividend) ------------------------ -$29,548.65

The next div date is Friday, 9/16. The average SPY dividend this year so far has been $0.59. If that is the value of the next dividend then I will get a payment of $3,363 to be added to the net total of this trade.

Long and short. Mostly long, 5,700 shares of SPY which I have been averaging into over the last few months.

The little rallies we've been having had higher volume than the average of the entire last year. Can you post a chart to support what you are saying?
