[TimChallenge] Shorted $OREX @ 3.76 into that blow off top. A bit intimidating, but working on shorting into over-extended pops. Covered for a tiny gain into that quick pullback, wish I could have held out for more, but taking singles while getting used to the pattern

[TimChallenge] $BAS would have been a great dip buy at half-dollar support earlier. Been making higher lows/higher highs ever since. Congrats to anyone that pulled the trigger.

[TimChallenge] Perfect ascending triangle/flat-top breakout/HOD test b/o on $URRE. Bought too small of a position and sold too soon, but have been burned by this setup/fake out in the past. Aim for singles. Tiny profit, but confidence booster. Currently setting up first 5min pullback. Good watch if nothing else.

[TimChallenge] Been stalking NVCN for the last hour waiting for a crack. Glad to know I'm on the right track.

[TimChallenge] Covered $TXMD short way too early a bit ago. Shorted as it broke below 7 for the second time @ 10:14AM (after double-topping around 7.20) and held until it cracked day low of 6.80. Thought it might catch support at 6.75 so go spooked and locked in profits. Already touched 6.60 and currently hovering around LOD. Still working on my #1 problem... patience.

Do you just call and ask for lower commission fees?

Did you ever figure out this issue? I don't see how your commissions were $160? 4.95/trade x2 is $10 + $30 ECN fees = ~$40 in commissions. What else were you charged? I have been using them for a couple of weeks now and agree with Arick that you need to win a bit bigger to cover the costs of trading with them. I too have had greed days that turn into red days because of fees. Sucks, but part of the game of getting around PDT. Hope things have gotten better for you since this!
