absolutely I've had nothing but problems mobile and pro

I did not have any issues but several people in the chat were saying that they had problems. I suggested that they call Etrade if they had any issues. It sounds like the issue was on Etrade's side since many people were complaining. It's worth a shot to give them a call. It turned a loss into a gain for me when I had a problem 2 months ago ( https://profit.ly/1MuILe ).

Keep pushing, learn from every mistake, reduce your position size, and focus on low downside plays. Forget about the 100%+ gainers and maybe focus on some slower moving stuff for some respectable small % gains. It’s something I struggle with too. Just need to look for singles, and take doubles triples and HR as they come. Don’t chase. Only buy close to major support like the other guy said, if it breaks it, your downside will be limited. Hope this helps! It’s all advice I need to follow myself!

Next, I would highly reccomend using ThinkorSwim, and learn how to chart, draw resistance/support lines, and start keeping track of the hot plays of the day. Take lots of notes so when things come back in the future, you'll be prepared. Read my recent blogpost/watchlist on TCS and look how I hit my first morning dip buy almost perfectly to how Tim teaches all because I kept track of the stock from May, watched it fail in August, and watched it today.

Even though it's the type of trade that won't present itself opportunity wise for a lot of stocks but a few times a year, understanding when and why to execute the trade is all part of the process of trying to improve and once you start getting it, you can apply it to others during earnings seasons. Now is the time for earnings related plays, so that's what you can focus on the most right now. Good luck!

Thank you all so much! I will keep pushing forward. I know it's still early in my career as a trader and I do LOVE it. I will take all of this advice and apply it. Thanks again!

Welp... Called E*Trade and found the answer. I'll share it here for anyone that's interested. If you hold the stock for 1 day or less (before the settlement date of the money used to trade (t+2)) Then you do not have to pay any interest at all. If you hold the stock beyond the settlement date +2 days, you are charged the 9.75% on an ANNUAL basis, so it would end up being $0.27 a day in interest. Cheers!

Thanks for that!!!!

Etrade can sometimes have borrows, but you need a minimum of $2k + the trading fees (so, let's call it $2025) to short according to their customer rep. My account this morning was at 1999.75. I couldn't short because I was short a quarter. LOL.

E*Trade is what I use, they are usually pretty good about having shares for listed stocks. However, they wont let you short any ticker that is less than 1$/share. They also have some available margin requirement if you are trying to short any ticker below 3$/share. Good luck!

My cash buying power has been restored, took about 45 minutes from position exit. Thanks again guys!

LMAO Now that you mention it I can Kinda see it a little bit. Except Tim is Highly intelligent. LuLu hahahahaha. How about Michael Goode he reminds me of Booger from Revenge Of The Nerds.

If you can, link some vids that are relevant for 2017 as I understand the pump categories are outdated. Thanks

All videos are relevant, whether old or new. Just because a video may be old...there are still many lessons to be learned from it.

@sodiepop11 I agree but look at Tims earlier comment.

If you use E*TRADE, it shows you under "balance" just have to press "show detailed balances"

Sorry to hear about your friend; great to read you're motivated and inspired. Who's your brokerage? I have two accounts and one is Robinhood (Gold). If you build up your account size a little more, you'd have access to extended trading hours (30 minutes before open and two hours after close). Just a thought on how to improve on those biotech announcements/late earnings winners. Keep moving forward... and BURN THE SHIPS. No turning back now.

Thanks! I'm currently at etrade and I do have access to after-hours, they just charge another buck or two in fees. Right now i need to figure out how to configure thinkorswim to show me after-hours trading scans rather than relying just on the nasdaq site, which is pretty basic, lol.

Great post, thanks for sharing! Keep grinding🍻

Nice man, welcome! Try her out with a paper trade maybe. Great practice and can get a decent position with these high dollar stocks. I recommend think or swim with TD Ameritrade, they have a great platform including appear trading. Cheers!

Including paper* trading****

Hi Buddy I have just opened a TradeZero account , I think it can work well for non US citizens
