I had this in the past with Etrade ( on Etrade pro). I wanted to short a stock and by accident went long, then shorted the stock and it did accept the trade. The stock did go down and closed the trade when I was profitable and during the next few days averaged down on my long position until I...

He does scalp trading mostly. Most of his trades are breaking news which he gets via Benzinga and other live news sources. His strategy which he explains in his videos is mostly COC/CUC (candle over/under candle). You can see his strategy in this video

The most valid/honest trader that I found is broadcasting daily on Twitch live and has lots of videos on YT.. He goes by the name “stockjock” , I’ve followed him for years, he tells you his strategy again and again and sells nothing (courses, subscriptions, etc.)

100%...I used to struggle as well and i blew up a few accts. If i scalp for 5-10 cents profit than i can't afford to lose.

i use it both on the 1 min and 5 min. If 9ema crosses the VWAP on both time frames i go in. Once it goes against me, i wait for 2 candles under the 9ema to get out. (these candles shouldn't touch at all the 9ema).

I find that the 9ema crossover over VWAP works for me as a scalp either long or short.

I've been daytrading for the past few years with small caps stock. mostly scalping for pennies. Overall, i was able to make a living. However, in these stocks there's a lot of slippage and can also shoot back down in a matter of seconds, which means you can be down a few hundred dollars in...

I tried about 15 years ago to learn for the Series 7 and it was pretty difficult for me.

I was daytrading for a 1-2 years. However, for personal reasons i have to take most of the money out of my trading acct. which leaves me with less the the $25k PDT requirement. So, i'm searching for a prop firm so i can continue trading. I'm also not interested in going thru the whole process of...

Hi Is there any legit equities prop firms in the US that don't require the traders to be licensed (series 7, 56 etc.) Thanks

I'm trying to phase out of equity day trading and try different markets. I looked a little into options and futures. What do you guys think is easier (easier to learn, less risk, more profitability etc.) to trade? and what are the pros and cons of these 2 markets? Thanks

The main question, is it consistently profitable to daytrade it on a daily basis ? a lot of strategies are good for specific times and specific trends. I'm sure that the big investment and hedge companies have algos for different strategies, the question is for the average daytrader who sits...

I'm pretty new to trading and i'm not familiar with back testing.

No...he scalps his trades

I've read about a trader that all his trades are TVIX/UVXY. Basically. since these 2 ETF's go the opposite way of the S&P, so when it goes up than he shorts the VIX and when the S&P goes down he longs the VIX. Is this a valid and profitable strategy ? if yes, why not develop a algo that does...

Where can i find the different API's for stocks and what developers to turn to for API's ?

I trade on etrade pro platform and overall it's ok. However, Lately i started trying out the bracket and conditional orders as well and it is a mess, for some reason you can't link it to the other charts so you have to manually put the stock symbol a few times (in the quote montage and in the...

This would be a trailing order. Etrade Pro has this option. However, it maybe time consuming because you have to enter it all manually. There probably is a API script that could be integrated with Etrade to do it a lot quicker.

Correct..i wish to have the trailing order automatically built in the order.

I'm a day trader that trades only by news items and i follow benzinga pro and the TradeXchange, is there a faster way to get the news than by these 2 companies? When ever i hear a news on these 2 platforms and i type up the stock symbol in my platform i see that the stock already moved up or...
