Did you already set an order to sell those shares? If so, you need to cancel that order first then try to sell again

Glad I found this. I use T.D. Ameritrade and Robinhood. Takes 3 days for funds to settle after a day trade. And I just run into PDT Rule w/ RH. I was looking for another broker and don't care to deal w/ SureTrader.

Might want to check a different phone provider , might luck out and find a provider with better coverage in your area. I worked in the Oil field in North Dakota. Check the coverage area Map. T-Mobile I used up there. Don't believe the phone car salesmen they will tell ya anything​ for a sale. You can also trade from a Tablet. Bought my little girl one for her birthday 60 dollars ya can use for trading with Robinhood. It's a new Kurio

Any Tablet with Google play store will be able to download the App. You will need a Internet connection to run the App

Interactive Brokers if you have an account of $10k or more. Their fee structure is very low and on a per share basis.

@harsto I try brother, good luck to you too!

thank you for the help!!!

good luck man!

Hey OON, I am new to the challenge but see you have really refined the process. I am also big on learning as I feel that is the most efficient way to improve. Would you be willing to discuss some of your long setups?

Yea but unfortunately they didn't put out a press release announcing it for God knows why, so unfortunately no massive spike

Always be worried about a halt. A halt only benefits you if bad news comes out. But if good news comes out (even though NAK just punted for a few days, but traders reacted positively to it), you can be crushed by the halt, like what happened with NAK if you didnt quickly cover

*only benefits you when you're shorting if bad news comes out

Well you can do it with $1000 or $1500 but with only $500, you have to be really on point with your trades esp in the beginning

@AngelofPeace good advice. I already wathced the ZAIS trades yesterday. Went as predicted so that is encouraging

@Peregrine_Trading Well I have already come to that conclusion when I run the math. I plan on adding another 1500 this week, but I thingk the flexibility sweet spot is going to be around 15k. I have a lot of videos and material to surf through. Thank you for the comment. It helps me confirm my thought process.

@rohithegde Not a member yet but will be checking this out.

well recently ive been trying to balance running heavy equipment and trading on my phone at the same time, which is how i busted a window out of the compactor my last week lol. Ive been focusing on marijuana stock thats where ive had my best results. I hold from a few days to 2 weeks, I started with 1k and i dont want stagnent money. I invest in a stock that i believe will be higher by the end of the week its alot less stress that way (for me anyways). For example i bought MOSY @ .237 and watche

Don't listen to any negativity man. Just others imposing their own fears on people with actual balls. I'm in the same boat and it's not been easy but guess what? I'm studying my ass off all I can because this is what I want to do and I want to do it well. Respect brother.

How about using a trailing stop loss to allow your winners to run more?

I could give that a shot as well, ive never used the trailing stop before ill expirement with it .

Thanks everyone for your input. I however have no kids, no wife, still in my 20's and relatively low rent. I hated that job and I don't see any point in wasting time doing anything else but what I want and that is to day trade. I have alot of work to do but I know what I'm capable of and I know I can do this.

Even if I fail BFD! At least I can look back on this and say I gave an honest shot at my dreams.

I'm never one to take the wind out of a guy's sails but bro, every loss is significantly larger than your wins. I want to do the same as you but I know I'm no where near that yet. Good luck though..

Yepp jst do it like NIKE man whatever u put your mind to u can do it...it have to be ur passion!

What would be a good website to attain information such as Float shares and stocks bought today and sold today?

Yahoo Finance for FInViz is always a good place to start.

Just look at the Biggest Gainers or Biggest Losers section

It doesn't really spike on its own; it's all proportional. So if you had 1000 shares worth $0.30 each and they did a 10-1 split, you now have 100 shares worth $3 each. So while the prices appears to have "skyrockted" $2.70, in reality your shares are worth exactly the same; it's all proportional.

Though what some companies who are on the verge of delisitng or bankruptcy will do is do a reverse split (to get their share price up), then pump their stock with news (to bring in more investors/bagholders), then do a dilution to raise a bunch more money real quick. So if there's a company that's on the verge of delisting or bankruptcy that just did a reverse split, look for possible news and ride that wave (BUT DONT HOLD ON OR YOU'LL BE SCREWED WITH DILUTION)
