You have to watch level 2 for big bids and longer times frames. eg if on the 1-min you see a green candle, you would normally buy the first candle to make a new high. But sometimes it's still downtrending on the 3 or 5 min chart so would be a fakeout, and if you see a double-bottom on the longer time frames that a safer bet.

Mind you I did the total opposite today buying $HADV, I looked at the daily chart instead of the intraday chart as I was a little distracted. Averaged down but was able to stay calm and look at the chart and broke even.

Forgot to say you also need to look at all support and resistance levels on all time frames to see where it could bottom and how far it can go up.

Ok thanks! That definitely makes more sense now.

I use Interactive Brokers with thinkorswim. Do all my chart analysis on TOS and executions on IB. If you are asking how to submit orders you click new order and put ticker and desired price.

I just got Etrade pro a few days ago and really getting the hang of it. Not to mention its free if you trade often enough.

what's the commission fee?

@sparhawk Very wise advise and I really appreciate it, thanks once again, wish you the best luck

I may be able to help a bit...Watch my few videos. They are short and very specific for when to enter and when to get out. You really need to look at stocks a bit higher in price also because I find they tend to be a bit more predicatable. Then choose a type of trade. Gap-Up, Gap-down, Momentum, Reversals. Then Go to YOUTUBE and watch Ross Cameron Warrior trader/gappers or momentium or reversal..etc. He has a different style of teaching that helped me. It is ok to learn from others as well

Contunued - as wise. Then paper trade a style that appeals to you and only use your real money after you have become consistant on paper. Tim is right....Success takes much time and patients. Never enter a trade to early...no need to. Relax an make clear decisions. Hope this helps.

@Jules Thanks Jules, very wise advise, I'll do,hanks once again good luck

Do you short any stocks and if so with what brokerage?

Interactive Brokers is prob the best with that. I had issues with TOS

Do you need 10k to short with them?

I believe so

I'll just stick with Interactive Brokers

Go to robinhood, then to account, then all the way at the bottom click account statements. Soon as it opens its on the first page as Account # before u enter the account number, put in "10-" then you have to put ur account number, excluding the last 2 numbers after the dash

thanks it worked

Good glad it helped, i had the same prob at first

Just gotta keep watching and be patience for the short.

I may write a 35 naked call Monday depending on what the premium is

Opened 1 35 call 10/21 expiry for .45 after comission...

It might turn out well, I don't do a lot with options

The easiest way to get around the T3 rule is have accounts with multiple brokers. There are many us brokers to choose from. You can have a robinhood account just because of free commissions, a e-trade account, optionshouse, interactivebrokers, and suretrader just to name a few. But considering the amount of money you have you won't be able to short any shares. Also if you are looking for a paper trading platform there are many that are completely free. I use optionshouse for some of my pape

i use suretrader for some time now and have had 0 problems with them, they are great for shorting as well, just dont overtrade with them and you will be fine

i also use think or swim because of their charting but they suck for shorting

I've heard people have a hard time accessing their money with Suretrader (Cash Account). Any input?
