This brokerage sounds very disadvantageous. Can you put stop/losses on your positions? Can you at least sell off your positions with a Market order if the stock starts tanking? If not it sounds more for "investing" and not "trading". About the only good thing you told me about this firm is it stops you pink sheet junkies from buying cr*ap.
dead on mach.. we have no such great provisions such as stop loss, so on and so forth.. thats what restricts me from putting my money in a variety of stocks which might make big moves.. I use two filters as m main sources of finding out stocks.. make sure analysts have ranked the stock well, make sure the company has excellent profitable quarters and has provided good guidance for quarter and only then put my money in the stock.. seems like lot of work.. but not really since i play same stocks repeatedly based on their charts..
the two filters i use are.. Show stocks where close crossed above upper acceleration band(20)within the last 3 days and 55 day slope of EMA(55) is above 0 and 13 day slope of EMA(13) is above 0 and average volume(90)is above 50000 and draw IFT(5,9)draw ema(10)draw EMA(50)and close is below 50
close is above 0.75 60-day slope of close is above 0 Draw Williams %R(7) line at 0 sort column 8 ascending average volume(90)is above 30000 offset 0-days

lol...
please define "window trades."
He did Tex... scroll up...
ahhh, yes...I see now. Thanks, mach...
Looking at that? I doubt I'd be interested. Although... I *can* see the practicality. Alas, not for me...good info, though.

lol * mac.. I spend about 1 hr a day to find out the outperforming stocks !!! and then 1 hour (9:45-10:00,12:15-12:30,2:45-3:00) checking out the ticker to guess the movement of the stocks that I am interested in buying and selling.. 2 hours a day of work seems tedious and I seem to be earning minimum wage during those hours ..

It probably will pay off when your capital starts to add up. I have soooo much TA to learn before I could even attempt what you are doing, but keep posting, this is very educational.

got out of zumz except $100 in the morning at 31.93.. looks like earnings are excellent.. if it rallies tomorrow i will get some profit because of my $100 in these.. if shares slump then I might end up losing $4-$5. VDSI.. up by 10 cents to 12.10. got out of mrvc at 3.31. will add tomorrow in morning session.. it should rally tomorrow in 3.4's IMO.. bought $200 worth of SKS and VIVO instead.. they both look decent.. grow has made another strong move today.. if it sees red day tomorrow.. I shall buy some GROW EOD tomorrow..

How can you buy $200 worth of a stock , one sells for 21 the other for 25. Thats like 4 shares?

it doesnt matter paul.. its all in %. 2-3% profit and sell.. and buyandhold allows you to buy partial shares.. lke 2.34 shares.. like i bought sks at 20.12.. i will sell it for gain anywhere between 3-5% around 20.60-21.50! its in %.. not absolute money since it is $0 commisions.. meanwhile bought grow at 42.998, gmcr at 44.09..
