@Torkers It is the ONLY strategy I use for day trading. And I do it with my phone. Usually with stocks I already know - not scanning for new ones everyday so they're not going to be as volatile as a pump and dump. But you can estimate the percentage drop intraday and set a buy near a round no. if the stock exhibits weakness daily in the morning.

@MK1996 Yes - Dux has mentioned in his interview with Sykes that he has had like a 90%+ win rate with dip buys. It is a higher probability setup. I would say shorting pumps has the potential for much more profits, but dip buying is one of the best patterns for day trading long.

@thomasKlegend thats soinds just amazing. Im having a rough 1 year - i have studied alot and dedicate all of my free time to trading And IT has not been working to well. My biggest problem is not cutting losses - i hold And hope way too kong And end up with massive losses insted of small ones. 4 weeks ago i really thought i had turned it around - i was down to 1600 $ on my account And then suddenly i felt like everything clicked. I had like 30 trades in a row with profits And made 4500 $ on litt

@fittrader101 the large bearish candle did it although it didn't crack the support level scores my exit 2/5 definitely a rushed decision.

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments, yes, i think it's going to be a case of taking a step back at market open, only focusing on one or two stocks max and following pre laid plans

Anyone use the bollinger bands/stochastics/ 10-60 lines regularly to help them in picking the right entries into a trade? Please excuse the misspelling.

If you keep 100% equity on your short then you don't get charged interest. ie. you have $2k in your account and you short $2k of a stock then there is no interest. Also, E*Trade does not charge interest for intraday shorting, at least that's what they just told me.

They seem to be doing things not kosher. I know they have a lot of leeway with margin accounts but I am getting charged almost 60% interest on my short position, skyrocketed about 5% per day over 30 days, this seems usurious? Also, they keep playing with margin req's; went from 30% to 60%, this morning jumped to 90%??? Then 3 hours later back to 60%. WTH is going on? I smell lawsuit.
