    Any brokers that dont enforce the 3 trade rule?

    Is it true that if a brokerage account is funded with 25K+, and declared a pattern daytrading account, the client will remain compliant even if the account drops below 25K. I think that it becomes a cash aggregate account. You can't trade til tomorrow with money that you have sent on a round...

    The 7 Deadly Sins of Trading

    Getting into a trade just because you have time to trade that day. Rushing into trades in general. When I was a musician, it seemed like a good balance to practice and study for about 2-? hours a day and then perform for maybe 4 or 8 hours per week. I now try to do that with my...

    The Daytrader Stigma

    I try to avoid feeling like a stigmatized daytrader by not reading long threads about the stigma of daytrading. I'm still working on it. Actually I have found that for me, the best way to stay feeling good about speculating is to never discuss it with anyone. Don't let anyone know if you are...

    I'm in this position, where I am down %99.997. I'm holding.

    You know everyone loses money from time to time its part of the art form. But, C'mon. I'm in this position, where I am down %99.997. I'm holding. It reminds me of my best dirt bike crash where my sears jeans got caught in the chain of my Harley 175cc going like fifty in a cornfield...

    Aquila [ILA] - Todays Action

    Yeah, there is a lot of combination. In ten shots you may not see a pattern. But if you understand a 1000 different positions you will see a bunch of patterns that repeat over and over again. When those patterns become internalized, one can respond to them instinctively as you suggest...

    Aquila [ILA] - Todays Action

    To the Board: ILA 10/24/02 Please Look at todays 60 min chart to critique this analysis. Has tested resistance at 4.25 twice. This does not look like the top of this rally because it has a rounded top. All of the other rally tops are spikes. It is however penetrating the 20...

    Tick & Trin...

    My crude understanding of tick and trin is that they are like parts of the weather report. Kind of like the way humidity and barometric pressure can tell you if it is going to rain. TICK = the number of stocks ticking up minus the number of stocks ticking down. Any number over zero...

    BKeuerbs, How to you access TRIN data during the day. Dow you use a calculator and just figure it out each time? Can I set it up in ESignal? Can I view it on a chart and access it as a symbol? Thanks, Mr. DNA :confused:

    OK, men. Here's the plan.

    OK, men. Here's the plan.

    I did this with NXTL on about 40 trades and was able to achieve a correct execution on about 33 of them. Use a stock in the 4 to 6 dollar per share range. Nextel is still good but it costs about 8 bucks now. 0. Get into your position based on your set-up plan. You know the routines...
