I find it entertaining that cheetos takes his time to make these elaborate posts about his trades and the thousands he makes day in and day out. I guess all he wants from et'rs are some E-pat-on the backs and some E-compliments about how he is such a genius at scalping. Here's an E-hug to you...

Cheetos, Are you EVER going to post blotter pics of your P/L? I just find it odd that you avoided any comments regarding doing so. Why are you avoiding?

That's what all new traders go through. You really have to be an automoton when it comes to trading. I think one of the biggest mistakes traders make early on is to trade for the excitement. This naturally leads to overtrading, which can be hazardous to your pockets. Trading is a rather boring...

Just use IQFeed. That's what I use and it works very well. Quite fast at refreshing symbols, not to mention a generous 500 symbol limit for $20.

Are you going to ever post blotter pics of your P/L? I like how you conveniently disregard any posts in your threads regarding that.

Pretty slow day. Didn't find anything all that exciting that fit my strategy. 3000 shares for a measly $59.94. All I can say is, "atleast it's not negative."

This may seem like an odd question, but for those of you who are daytraders, what is your family arrangement like? For the guys who are married, do you stay home all day while your wife drive off to work (assuming she does)? If this is the case, do you do most of the housework chores or are...

why AH?

Any updates?

cliffnotes?

Give me the money instead. Atleast you will be assured that it will be put to good use. :D

You really don't need a formula to plot what you're describing in excel. Just use time as your x-axis and p and l in your y axis and you're done.

I would stick with what you know best (equities) and build your bank roll. As others have noted, you are a little undercapitalized. Build your stash and then divest a little of your fund (tuition) in learning the other markets.

Is it hard on the eyes (i.e. too small)?

What was the resolution? I was thinking of getting one until I saw the resolution. How small are the fonts? I would be afraid of straining my eyes staring at tiny numbers all day.

I am most definetely NOT bored with trading. All I am doing is asking the "what ifs" now in case there is a what if 10 years from now. Atleast I will have some idea of answer before it comes up.

Thanks for all the replies that gave me a slap of reality as well as those that gave me some glimmer of hope :) I really haven't done any research on this, but how marketable is a daytrader? Is it hard getting a job in some sort of financial capacity being a trader? I just am wondering if I...

Thanks Kastro, I will definetely give it my all! I will definetely periodically update my sentiments on how I feel about trading. I still have a lot to learn and look forward to this exciting journey!

Kastro, I have been thinking along the same lines for the reasons NOT to trade. I am pretty sure there is a high likelihood that I will eventually fail, but I know I would have a bad case of the "would, coulda, shoulda" if I didn't atleast try it. After a year (or two), I can atleast say I...

You mean the 17th? ;)
