I use TD Ameritrade. I have been with them for years. Only had a couple small problems and they were taken care of very quick. Plus getting money in and out is very quick.

You use Suretrader as well correct? I ask because of the new rule they have about shorting. I do not mind it but wondering what others are feeling about it. I do like their plattform and you still have a nice margin to play with as well. You can still short they just have to be priced well above a buck. What are your thoughts?

Yes I have day trader status. I keep $100,000 in my trading account but really don't need it. And if im scalping stocks my fees can run about $150 to $200 a day. When scalping futures it runs about $70 to $80 a day. Not a bad trade for $1,000 to $1,500 a day. I consider that very low overhead

$200-$400 a trade and you do this several times a day? Yowsers! My wife would crap on herself if she found out I was pull in several nice trades like that daily.

Do you swing trade with day trader status so you can make round trips if you need to in the same stock?

I looked up scalp trading on Investopedia. It seems like you would run up quite a bit in commissions unless the small changes are relatively huge i.e. scalping $1000 gain from $15K-20K share purchase.

Investopedia explains 'Scalping'

Traders who implement this strategy are known as scalpers. The main goal is to buy (or sell) a number of shares at the bid (or ask) price and then quickly sell them a few cents higher (or lower) for a profit. Many small profits can easily compound into large gains if a strict exit strategy is used to prevent large losses.

Re: #19: @FollowNoOne - Good advice. I appreciate it. Question: How does

I retired last year and love it. The best part about it is my grandkids. I have never had to miss any activities they are in because of work. I was able to retire pretty wealthy and every penny came from swing trading. Even when me and my wife travel I can still trade. That's why I really like the futures markets. They are open 6 days a week 24 hours a day. When we take trips I still take my laptop and trade. I usually hit my daily quota before breakfast while in the motel room every morning. You can make a lot of money in this game but you have to keep a level head. I didn't make my money making huge trades. I scalp and make from $200 to $400 per trade and I do it several times a day. I have no education what so ever. I quit school early and don't even have a GED. So believe me if I can do this anyone can

Good advice. I appreciate it. Question: How does it feel to not work for anyone else? Do you currently have a lifestyle from investing where if you want to stay in bed, you can? Or if you want to take a trip to an exotic island, you can without a need to request vacation time or triple-check your bank account for available funds?

In other words, how does it feel? smile

Re: #17: @FollowNoOne - How did you know to call THAT one?

I just read my indicators and made my call. Some happen the same day and some take a few days. With the money you have to trade with you are in a good position to make some nice swing trades. You need to stay in the area of $7.00 to $10.00 stocks. They are more established and follow a nice pattern. Im not trying to tell you how to trade. Just sharing the same advice that was given me a long time ago. Make you a couple trades like this once or twice a week and your account will be way up there before you know it

Here is a good one to short. Its way over bought and way to extended above all the other indicators. The stochastics are embedded. People will take profits and a lot will short this back down.

Not at all. Swing trades are very short term trades anywhere from overnite to maybe a few months. I retired from doing this. Tell you what. PM me your number and I will call and tell you how it works. You have enough to trade but you need to be in a certain size bracket on the big boards

Not trying to be nosey but what do you have to trade with? Maybe I can help you to the direction you need to go. All I do is day trade and swing trade. I play some pennies but only ones that show me a good chart. I probably trade gold futures more than anything. Its easy to scalp points in gold

Re: #7: @FollowNoOne - If you don't mind, what are the typical

Well I look for stocks that are way over bought. I never short sub pennies for the simple fact that they can jump for no reason at all and that can cost you big bucks. Look at this stock chart here. I just shorted this one. I was up $750 the first day but I held it because it will drop further. Even though it went up almost another dollar it will still drop. It is way to extended and It cant sustain itself. People will take profits and it will get shorted back down to close the gap. My bread & butter is the futures markets. I go long and short it. I average around $1,000 to $1,500 a day. I have been doing this for years. Do your self a favor and do not get into shorting sub pennies unless you have tons of money. I have plenty money and I wont do it. Its to easy to make money swing trading.

I will be listing stocks that I short. I will also provide a chart with each stock and the reason im shorting it. Im either long or short on a stock based on TA alone. If you want to make good money in the markets you need to also learn to short. If you have a stock to short please ad a chart and the reason you think this stock can be shorted. Dont just list a stock without a chart. All post listed on stocks that can be shorted that dont have a chart will be deleted. Also this is a board for professionals,not children. Please speak like an adult when posting on this board. I detest words like peeps,da,dat ect. Below is a chart explaining the indicators i use. I use the same charts no matter what im trading. Stocks,futures ect. I keep my charts basic. I like them neat and clean without alot of noise.
