How many stocks can you cover per day?

[HolyGrail]

Quote from qll:

then show us your today's trades to this week's trades or this year's P/L to see how you have done.

I'm a position trader not a day trader. I came to this board because I plan on selling my business this year or next, and I might consider doing some day trading. I came here to begin to learn the ropes of day trading. I have made more than 20% per year for the last five years swing trading and position trading. That is better than the market, better than most, but certainly not as good as many people on this board.

I normally only trade from September thru February, but I will be trading in the next week or so as I feel we are about to have a large major decline.

It is not important for me to prove to a complete idiot what I make in the market. My accounts without margin consideration are seven figures. That's all the personal information you will ever get from me.

Keep up the good work. You are impressing everyone with your trading prowess.

multidesktop still need me to swith and cover wider information. not good for me. i am at max limitation now. no more flashing screens.

laptop with bigger screen, not an option. there is only one laptop called IBM T. everything else is a junk. Too bad once Chinese controls making of T, the quality is so bad that I won't buy T60. I like the T40 T41 T42 the best. T43 is ok.

i am getting more trades now. Today I had 32 trades covering 4 stocks, better than yesterday's 20 trades on 2 stocks. I really hope to find a replacement for this method. this work is like hell. the money earned on day trading is SIMPLE, not EASY. too much wear on health, eyes, back, hands, sleep. where I am at now has 12 hour difference with NY, so I trade from 8pm to 2am, and missed the last 2 hours trading - too tired, got to get some sleep. i still need to find rent office, set up servers, interview people, sell assets, borrow money, buy books, lunch with partners... oh man, i need a break!

Get yourself a couple of pupils, teach em how to apply your method and have em each watch 2-3 different stocks... if it works, repeat the process n times.

Yes, I trade STFU every day, it usually has good volume and trends well.

My limit now is 2 stocks, 20 trades a day.
I traded 3 stocks today, missed a lot of signals.

Quote from qll:

what's wrong with a 15 inch monitor? it is a laptop!. I travel a lot. do you think i have to bring 3 monitors with me. i am now hiring more people for my business and may add 2 for trading.

earning $30k in the last 4 days using $200k to $400k leverage. i posted my trades almost in real time. today i made $10 profit on BOBJ, AKAM, BIDU, and HSOA.


DATE TRANSACTION ID DESCRIPTION QUANTITY SYMBOL PRICE COMMISSION AMOUNT SALES FEE

07/27/2006 Bought 100 AKAM @ 35.90 100 AKAM 35.9 0 -3590...

...07/27/2006 Bought 300 HSOA @ 5.35 300 HSOA 5.35 0 -1605

***END OF FILE***
You can calculated P/L yourself. I still keep 4500 shares of BOBJ 15000 shares of HSOA overnight. Everything else is closed. You can see that I earned $10K+ on only 4 stocks. AKAM, BIDU, BOBJ, HSOA

TRT and ACY were to long term buys, not for day trading.

So you've increased your average daily traded stocks by 100% and your daily trade volume by what, 500% in the last few days?

Quote from HolyGrail:

Yesterday he made the following recommendation.

TRT did not have 1 share traded until about noon yesterday. It ended the day with 1200 shares traded. Today it traded 300 shares. Yes what a perfect stock for day trading. You could trade this up and down against yourself.

ACY same story. Traded 1200 shares today, and 0 yesterday. It's a SUPER stock so everyone PLEASE climb aboard before you miss out on this huge opportunity.

Thank you 2manywhiners for telling it like it is.

Quote from qll:

I think you have no idea about investing. Why do you care about how many shares it is traded? Take a look at PARL's 3 year chart, and compare the pre-move volume and after? Also take a look at PAE and compare the level before 50c and after 100c.

If not my trading profit is getting close and more to investing profit, I won't come here to teach you how to make money.

Do you even understand why most daytraders (as in 99.9%) won't touch any stocks with daily volume below 25,000? I highly doubt it. Your trading profits (at $200,000 per year) are just now approaching your investing profits? So what are you making as an investor? A Sextillion-Quadrillion dollars?

12 hours difference with New York? You don't like Chinese goods, but you're in a timezone with a 12 hour difference from New York? English obviously isn't your first language, so you're not from Australia. So the answer to the riddle is you're either from the Philippines or Russia. You sound drunk, so you're probably either Russian or Irish, and seeing how Russia is the only one of the two that is in a twelve hour difference time zone, then my answer is you're Chinese, because you know first hand that you make shitty goods, you speak broke-ass english, you're a jackass that makes outlandish claims on ET that always seem to get called out, and your alt. handle is WmWaster. Am I good or what?

Quote from qll:

then show us your today's trades to this week's trades or this year's P/L to see how you have done.

I took the summer off from trading (you know, busy earnings season and all), and I recently spent eight days in Hawaii, so I don't have any daily or weekly P/L's to post, but how about Net Worth (cash) in a Margin PDT account?

(NOTE: I uploaded an attachment, but I changed my mind about leaving it forever on the internet. I'm not positive someone couldn't undo my paintbrushing over the account number, like CSI kinda stuff. I don't want to have to worry about it. Several people did see it though...)

Quote from qll:

I don't know how somebody can manage 3 screens and 200 trades a day.

A lot of people (including me) run fully automated trading systems. By "fully automated", I mean you don't even need to be present. It's relatively easy to implement using the brokerage firms that give you an API (application programming interface) to their system. Essentially, you write (or have someone to write) your own piece of software that uses your own trading strategies to retrieve quotes, place orders, and manage risk.

You may want to take a look at interactivebrokers.com and their API.

What, no Reply? No Retort? No witty comeback? No more crazy claims? Did you finally just give up? Tired of getting called out? Are you not even going to challenge what my Net Worth is? Or ask anyone who saw the attachment (before I removed it) how much it was? Are you still in that corner of your parents basement crying?

Unfortunately for you, the transparency of your claims are visible to everyone. You have nothing to defend.
