If your account was flagged with a day trade then it will be removed on the following Tuesday per your example

PDT rule only affects margin accounts. My solution is just to go long with a cash account until you acquire the 25k.

Most brokers will keep tabs on your day trades and make that info visible.

I have a tendency to close winners too early this would fall into the scalper category is that what you mean by skewed ?

No lol, you stated that trading involves being sleep deprived. That's not true for everyone.

Stocks to trade is your best option but it can be costly so use a scanner and scan everyday

Finviz.com can do that, and it is free. I also use Stockfetcher.com. It has a bit of a learning curve, but you can use it for free with limited results. I use the $8/mo. option, which is certainly a reasonable price.

$5 to $120 last year? That's pocket change! This year, it's going from $4 to $1,000,000!

What's the catalyst? Why would it jump like that?

@Bryan3121 DRYS was the big mover last year - huge short squeeze so traders remember this ticker. Volume coming in and shorts getting squeezed is the catalyst. Didn't take off huge yet but I am watching it and got a small profit off it...

its not easy I just got caught in one, avoid caveat emptor stocks if possible they are usually the ones that get halted but not always. go to otcmarkets.com for their otc status

Yeah you're stuck in STVA, I sold my position in HOMR a few days before, thankfully. Good luck.

thinkorswim has great executions and its interface is one of the most advanced on the market but, if understood, is very helpful

You're telling me. Every week I think I stumble upon something useful. This morning, I discovered the trend overlays and the VWAP stuff everyone's going nuts over. I'm still a little iffy on the trading part, but I think I got it now. :)

When I first started using Think or Swim I was overwhelmed with all the features. Check out this guys page: http://www.thepennystockquest.com/tosvideos1.html I highly recommend watching all his videos it completely walks you through the interface and nearly all basic configurations/features that will have you set up and ready to go.

Ty for sharing, but at what point are you buying? At that b/o or in or are you buying few days after ER in expectation that b/o will happen later? Ty.

@GT500 the "E" on the chart indicates the earnings announcement, so you can see how many days it takes to break out. Entry depends on risk and price action, each play is different

This is great and aligns very well with my current strategy. I will have to investigate this further.

I thought ALQA was going to be a good setup too. Lots of people talking about how it would spike when Yahoo.got the news posted. I'm still holding for a possible small spike in the AM. If it fails to go green at the bell I'm out too

Part of me wonders if this is why Sykes doesn't trade biotech? I've seen several biotech stocks do similar patterns. I might just need to start crossing these off mentally unless I can catch them on a spike. Seems like a lot of these also go big in pre-market hours and regular trading hours just.. sit around. :/
