Yes. I looked them up, mostly positive. Though I never had problems with OEC/gain capital. When you're turning into a scalper and seeing a lot of good trades you need those lower commissions!

Yep, every dollar paying out in fees is another dollar in your account.
(80),450,160,200,10
Before commission - my commission is 75c + exchange fees per contract. 4,4,12,18,8 contracts total
M - was down 800 and recovered all of it. Taking trades pre market have been mostly bad recently...
Most every one of the good trades could have been held for 3-4x what I took
Pretty happy with my result considering M and W I have appointments at 1030 and M-Thur I'm busy 1230-3. Trading is quite odd it seems Fridays. Really need to start doing 3+s. Most of this is still 1 contract. I taper off size as the week goes on and I'm up.

This week I swung a lil heavier than usual trying to do 3s every time - I've finished up last 3 months. I only did 1s on Mon and Friday... IE should have made 3x what I did today.
Even though there is no excuse for the 2 negative days - I had trades that would have net the opposite on if I'd held them - they were the result of over trading, not taking good sells (for some reason I see mostly buys) and being unable to take any PM trades. I have to stop at 1030 M, T, W... and then at 1230 on Thur. There was plenty of time to recover my 3-4 point losses on 3 lots the days I was down but I can't focus on trading.
Next week is the last week of therapy and hopefully I'll have more focus after.
