I use TD Ameritrade and Etrade 9 dollars a trade isn't too bad.
@DKingston With a small account like mine it is.
I have a really small account too. If you focus on the right plays they will be a non factor.
Probably one of the most important decisions is your broker...Tim Sykes recommends brokers on Premium Page of Profit.ly under Important Links.

I just tried Robinhood and sold my positions this morning... I still don't have access to trade with the proceeds. I don't know if this is typical, but it kind of stinks if you want to dump a loser and switch your funds over to arising stock quickly. Am I missing something?
@rmc0315 PDT rule. 3 days before you can use funds to enter a new position. Robinhood calls this "Unsettled Funds" It is supposed to protect investors from losing everything they have when they have small accounts.
@calamode I have not been able to verify Robinhood trades either. And their execution times have been good so far.
@Rollingball thanks for the heads-up! I've been trading with my USAA Brokerage account because I thought Robinhood was too slow to release my funds. I just got a "Good Faith Violation" warning. Evidently my USAA account has the same waiting period too, I've just been trading with the unsettled funds. I just got warned... All things considered, Robinhood is looking better and better

Where is your Technical background from.. I'm working on back filling mine right now to better play Tims awesome stratagems
@calamode - these are my support and resistance lines. The red lines signal a support or resistance line of more importance than the blue. If you see purple, then that's a major support or resistance line. I always have a 1yr chart up along with my daily. Always on whole, half or quarter dollar levels.
@bondjaymzbond - I got my grounding from the DVD of Nate's at Investors Underground. Otherwise it's just time and experience in front of the charts.
Thanks man

[TimAlerts] lost 3% on my $PLUG long 15 mins ago. cut my losses quickly. frustrated it ended up going up


Thanks!
Hmm about the revenue, are you sure? I read "The business had revenue of $2.14 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $3.27 million. "
Hmm also, I have analysts expecting 0.7Mil revenue as compared to reported 2.1Mil...not sure where got that 5X from either. No worries, my entry size would not influence the movement of this stock in any way ;)
Let`s see, so far some volume p/m, but not so strong.
