Friendly suggestion here. Get a new broker. Your commisions are VERY high. Plenty of BD`s out there where you can trade for $1.00 per 100 shares(or less) as a retail customer.

Good trading to you.
 
Thank you for your kind suggestion.
The commission plan for questrade is 0.01 per share Min 4.95 per trade. but it allows me to day trade with as little as $1000 initial fund. And the headoffice is 10 mins away from my work. So I can go see what's going on there and chat with staff.
Compare to my trading size, the commission is a lot but I think starting with this disadvantage wil force me to be selective with every of my trades. I wll add more shares gradually if I can keep the consistency.
