No prob!

Update on the brokerage. lol. Got with ETrade, I can't get used to their ETRADEPRO platform after using STT for a couple weeks. It seems really confusing. But thank you guys for the help. Just put 5k in ETRADE

holly fawk wtf :O

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.

Is this for real??

@anatomic thanks - i looked through your trades - I also have found shorting the morning spike to be my most comfortable trade right now. I have been picking a key level above current price as target entry for short and trying to avoid getting in before key level hit. Also using level 2 to judge slowing / possible entries ans exits.

@RockRobster I am trading tight and watching the stocks closer than I used to. Big change for me was taking my watchlist then writing out the 10-20 trades I was interested in and what I expected them to do. Then I rewrite list picking only 5 for the day and 2 scenarios (up and down) for each. Then I watch price action in morning for 5 and only enter one that matches a scenario. Good luck climbing!

Thanks! That's good to know. I need to spend some more time going over my WatchList as well. Good luck to you as well!

Yea, I love shorting the frontside of the move as long as the chart is overextended and there is no recent meaningful news. I use several factors to time them, the biggest indicator is an uptrend break.

great post. Thank you for the infp

Make sure that you're aware of the 3 trades per week. Unless you have $25,000. Also, check with your broker to see how many days it takes to clear the funds. With ETrade, they just changed the clearing of your funds from 3 days to 2 days.

@Dreed I have 2 margin accounts at Interactive Brokers so 6 trades/wk. and clearing doesn't matter. I've been trading full-time for 6 months now.

@Khermus Nope I'm not - I'm mental enough to think I can make it and so I shall!

@PlanB Yes dude - LIVE THE DREAM!

@Torkers hahah YES

@WizeFool thank you

@KTM4NICK Yup. Same answer as @WizeFool

lol yea, and a hot tip for you is to save up and open two accounts with them while you're under 26. That's what I did.

@PlanB thanks
