@TerrapinShorts I definitely most relate to Tim G. trading from the guys I follow.

I know what you mean, I am also at IB and under PDT. There's a trader on twitter that has turned 2K into 100.000k in 14 months, he also plays longs maybe have a look some of his trades and see what you can get from him.

Another trade (TEUM), in @ 3.01 looking to retest or break M/L of 2.62 with a risk of 3.10. My risk was hit and i got out. Lost my eariler gains now down to $78. Good Practice for cutting losses quickly

@TerrapinShorts first, thanks alot for the comment and the support. second, you are right about trading scared my antention was that that stock was fit to my cretirias and when that happend i need to force myself to act, because at the end it's all a matter of probabilities and i rather go out with a small lose than to miss a great profit.

@Vaytzman Thanks for the motivational post . I too have had some timing issues due to hesitating to act on my plan. I have no problem in managing a losing trade and cutting it intelligently. But for perfect entries, it's taking me a while to learn that one. I found it helpful to develop or perfect entry guidelines specific to a particular strategy, that way you are confident in your plan if your trading rules aren't broken as the chart develops. At some point though, you will need to act.

Looks like a step 1-2 of the framework, a possible 3 on the horizon as a result of early shorts getting squeezed. Then a step 4 (possible 30% drop in a day, maybe more)

I tried starting an account, they kept jacking up my login information, I finally got it figured out then my bank was like "this is shady" then a friend said, "they even have fees for going long that are rediculous" and I don't know anyone who disputed a charge and won so I finally said Nope not going to do it. You're just better off getting multiple accounts with a low minimum broker like Etrade, where you can immediately same day transfer money from one to another.

Stop trying to be a fucking cheap ass, invest in your fucking trading and yourself. Give yourself the best opportunity at winning, there's a reason all the best traders have an account with them and why Tim doesn't really recommend them as a preferred broker. The PDT Rule is a rite of passage, embrace it instead of running from it.

Sheesh, truth is if you use size you can request 9.90$ round trip commissions for every 10,000 shares you trade is there anyone cheaper than that? maybe IB.. idk I don't use IB. SureTrader have a lot of shares to short I'm really happy with that. They have fees for being long on a margin account but not for every stock, idk how it's determined but if you'd like to know more check their short list on their platform, see long margin rate (yes long not short), executions? if same price as market pr

that being said don't forget due to hurricane Irma SureTrader banking services are fucked up for the next week or two, also use profitly statistics on brokers, you will see everyone who used SureTrader lost money - I assume this is because overtrading and commissions 9.90$ per round trip minimum or 0.02 cents per round trip minimum, so be very careful with the power they give you.. also 1:6 margin is insane, never use the buying power they give you unless you're buying some microsoft shares
