I apologize for not being more specific. Currently I am trading equities. I cant say what I am looking for specifically in equity trading. I just want suggestion for interesting sites/forums with equity trading related content. Yes I am using google :)), but sometimes other people might provided...

Howdy, This forums have been a great resource for a newbie to understand trading better and do understand why one should or more often should not do it. Could someone please suggest to me other good websites/forums/chat-rooms to gather information, see interesting discussions? P.S. What...

good one :) The "something works for one does not work for the other" is understandable, I just wanted to know what is the commonly accepted view on this types of trades and scaling.

Salute, Scaling is a great survival strategy and can significantly cut loses( and some profit cutting too). Its make sense in a swing trade situation, but I was wondering if it makes sense in rapid day trading. If I am in the trade for 5-15 minutes, expecting and 1-3% gain is scaling a good...

Good afternoon all. Currently I am using and HP Pavilion laptop with Vista and I am connecting a 32" TV to to it via the one VGA port that it has, so what I have right now is a laptop screen and the TV screen. I am looking to add a third screen in the mix and my question is on how to connect it...

No it does not, but it is beginning to look like a BUY BUY BUY :D .... maybe around 2.90 level?

I wonder why is C a target for this kind of scalping action with soooo many participants. It seems like there are stocks out there that are just as juice and trade in a more "rational" fasion.

Thank you Redneck for your detailed response to my innocuous question. Obviously I am not hiding the fact that I am a newb and your explanation is greatly appreciated. I did not look at the volume and I can see how such immense volume would cause such frantic moves. From a day trading...

I guess I am just trying to figure this out. Looks a bit odd.

If you look at the attached interlay chart, it looks more like a cardiogram. What do you think is the reason behind this choppy/blocky looking moves. The traded volume is large, the liquidity is there, so why this look? I am just trying to understand what makes a 15min chart (I think its 15 min...

So Deere & Co reported abysmal earnings today and no positive news to look forward to and yet this stock was skyrocketing up today. Do you have nay ideas on what stands behind this bizarre move? :confused:

Good morning, I am not a trader and I was wondering if someone can give me a "dose of reality" in regards to this concept. The concept is very simple: Trading a 10-20k account, trading only in large cap/low volatility stocks for a daily gain of $200-300. The monthly profit target is 2-3k...

Hello, Could somebody advise me on a good free website or software (preferably a website, so I don't have to download anything) to play around with setting support/resistance on the charts:confused:

After looking at this earnings/news "roulette" for a while, one begins to think that there is a pattern, that you can go long on the good news, short on the bad news. Obviously its not that simple and the old saying "buy on the rumor, sell on the news(any news)" has alot of merit to it. From my...

Thank you all for your responses. My current platform needs are for equities. My current strategies include swing trading, gap trading, trend trading and news trading. Will it make any difference if I used MBTrader or IB? What is a the best(and cost efficient) charting software for my needs?

Greetings, I am a new to trading with not substantial experience. I am considering trading for living. For the first year I am considering a VERY conservative strategy with minimum risk and light volume. What software do I need? What would be useful to a beginner and what would be an...

Yes, that's what I am thinking... I am aware of all the risks (they all lead to the same destination: losing money), but there will be no better time to take those risks then now. I dont seem myself even looking in the direction of day trading when I have a family to feed.

Greatings, I know that its not a good idea to start day trading when you have a family(kids) to take care of, the risks are too great and you need a constant inflow of capital. I am currently a single man and I am considering Day Trading because it is risky only for me and no-one else is...

Greetings, I was wondering if you would advise MB Trader for frequent trading. The assumption is that I will be working with a $50k account doing 5-10 trades a day. The commission if $4.95, the platform seems ok. Does anyone have any information on this? Are there better, more efficient...

My question at this time is more on broker/technology side. First, I would like to know what are the most popular brokerage services for day-traders. We all know that every penny counts, but at the same time you don't want to be working with someone who can not deliver an adequate service. I...
