your only as good as your tools. Stay away from robinhood. look at suretrader for a discount broker

If your under 25 you can open an account at Interactive brokers for 3K, Cheap commissions and they have great shorts. normally only cost be $2 commission for a round trip trade

No after-hours, no short selling, no possible way to use it

I have looked into it a while back, a defiant no from me but if it works for you then go for it I guess

I had the same issue as you. However I was able to avoid all of those charges. Here is how: Sign up for a TD Ameritrade account. You will get free level 2 quotes and a platform MUCH better than DAS trader pro in thinkorswim. Just use the default suretrader active web to place the trades. But use thinkorswim for everything else (free level 2, awesome charting, great scans etc

Jaswahn "likes" this....

I am doing the same thing as AoxNoxxide suggests. Use TOS for everything but placing the trade. I also use my phone to trade but don't use or pay for their app but rather just go directly to their website through Safari on my iphone and use the activeweb platform that way.

PennyStocking Deux is 2nd best

I agree with the previous recommendations but I have to add Level 2 as well. I think with those three DVDs is going to be a very good starting point.

All of these are really good choices to start with. They really teach you all of the basics. Welcome to the community! Study hard so you can trade smart.

Thank you everyone. definetly going to buy how to make millions, pennystocking and pennystocking deux. Dont know if i can afford level 2 as well while still having money to get started. Thanks again

Be very carefull. When you short it, then watch it like a hawk.

Just noticed there is a new pr claiming an investigation against GBSN. Probably going to tank tomorrow.

that investigation PR has been there for a while now.

Those investigation PRs are very common with alot of solid stocks. Don't use a PR like that as a basis to short. Only short it if you see a technical breakdown, etc.

MACD/RSI is not the end all solution to trading. On Wallstreet there is computer rooms with hundreds of million dollars worth of servers and computers. If it was that simple, those computers would simply filter out and trade the MACD/RSI indicators your describing. You have to have a overall view of everything. Also papertrading is delayed 20 minutes whereas the market is real time. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Try to find better trade entries.You can use your indicators but also look at the momentum of the stock, where does it look like it's heading and how quickly is it heading there. Use these key indicators to determine when you will hop aboard. Sometimes you will see that if you wait for the right time, there seems to be no good entry and you lose interest in trading the stock. Move on to the next, not all setups are good setups.

Do you look at different time segments, or just 1? 5 min and 30 min 1day. Long term is different.

Analyze each of your trades to see where you went wrong and how you can improve. Really take a good, objective look at each one. Try to remove yourself and all bias from the analysis.

Street Sweeper did an expose on it yesterday

What is an expose? Lol.

@Nlstephens9 An expose is a public report about something shocking or making news

Was the expose good or bad on VLTC ? And thanks for the answer

yeah your order was a bit backwards. Go HTMM first then PS Deux

I did HTMM FIRST then Trading Tickers by Tim Gritanni. Back to back they make a strong foundation to build on.

Definitely go with my http://howtomakemillions.com
