Day Trading under $25k...

Did anyone else get an email about 2 or 3 months ago from some brokerage that was offering 10 to 1 margin? Some of you must have. I just took a quick glance at it and it seemed legitimate and interesting and I saved the email but now can't locate it. Ha. I don't recall if it was a prop firm or not but I don't think it was so I'm not sure how they dealt with the PDT rules. It wasn't from http://www.alliancetrader.com. And also I remember one catch was that you couldn't hold any position overnight. It was an all day trade offering. Seems like I looked at their site and it seems pretty good. I'll let you know if I find it. :)
 
I found the email and it is from a prop firm. It's Mondevert Corporation under Northwestern Trading. http://www.northwesterntrading.com/brokerage/proprietary.htm
I'm going to look and read this and see what the deal is. Anyone have any direct experience with these people or heard anything about them? Thanks.

4-1 buying power all day long they say"


Get a job and save as much as you can. Your chances of success with 2K and 4-1 BP are slim to none......ZERO!!!
What are you going to make a day? Look at their commission rates. They are 2x industry mean for active traders. Read every post on this Board and learn something. Posting this BS is not going to teach you anything. Get your head out of your BUTT and get a JOB.

I just registered to comment on this, even though its kind of old...

I started off with $1,000 through Alliance about 2 weeks ago, and made a 10-20% increase in profit every day so far (this would be a compounded increase). Not sure if I am lucky, or what the deal is (I bought a few penny stocks, some of which went up from $1.10ish to nearly $1.80 per share in as little as 10-15minutes! - This has always occured just after NASDAQ opens, with little activity in the penny stocks there-after), but from what I can tell, these kind of returns are pretty rare. Anyway, it seems to me that with a little luck and some knowledge, someone with <$25,000 shouldn't have a problem - It's when you get below $1,000 that things can get tricky (still profitable, but to a smaller degree).

So anyone out there with <$25,000, don't get discouraged!!

Thing is, they know you are a beginner and let you have a few winners. Like a casino letting you win at the slots for a while.

As soon as you mortgage your wifes wedding ring or your mothers house, its game over.

What do you mean "let me have a few winners"? There is no way they can manipulate the stock to "make me a winner", unless they were doing some inside job... Even then, they would not just "let me have" a couple thousand dollars, even at the expense of keeping me as a customer. My objective is to reach $25K to $30K, which with my track record, shouldn't be extremely long - Then I can switch over to a U.S. based day trading firm and play by the "rules".

I'll let you know...

My projected goal is 40-60 business days starting out at a base of $1K (other monies are banked). At 5-10% gain per day average (which I don't think is out of reach), this should be feasable...



Here is how todays trades went (I log all of my trades in a notebook):

NOTE: All of my trades invested all of the $1000 in the stock, or rounded off, and include the price AFTER fees have been applied...

~9:30 Started off and bought STKR at $1.18, sold at $1.18 (wasn't moving): -$14 in fees

~9:45 Bought DFIB at $1.53, sold at $1.91: Made $178

~10:10 Bought KBAY at $17.40, sold at $18.15: Made $34.75

~10:20 Stopped trading, since I figured my luck would eventually run out.

Not too bad if I do say so myself...

I have also noticed that all of my "good" trades are made before 10:30am...



Let me know, please, as to what people think reasonable daily returns are (in percentage)? I have only been trading for 2 weeks, and have had pretty good success (without any of those "get ritch quick classes" which promise to teach day trading) - Maybe luck is/was on my side, but I am still interested in knowing...

Let's not waste your beginners luck. I'll wire you 100k, and we'll triple that before they catch on.

LOL

Would have been nice to do it with $100K rather than $1K... But I am only 19, and had to quite work a little while ago due to a back injury. $1K is all I have to work with, unfortunately.

Keep playing with those penny stocks. One wrong move and back to Mikey D's you go. I'll take fries with that too. :p
