Probably better to play breakouts/earnings & contract winners/etc. Pumps are more suited for shorting. It's not impossible to buy low sell high on pumps, buts they can crash quick losing you money.

paper trade first if you can win 1000$ in a month, with a 3000$ account

I think it's in Chart Parameters, then tick the box next to "Show data outside of regular trading hours".

thanks a lot man !! i'm happy haha

used all of them! I prefer the 1 minute and 5 minute on the 1-10 day charts and then the 30, 60, 90, 150, 200 day 1 year 2 year 5 year 10 year.

the more you use the better idea youll have when finding support and resistance levels.

I used 1min on 1day, 5min on 2day, 15min on 1week, hourly on 1month and daily on 100days. I've found for me personally this gives a really good overview of support and resistance levels.

hey guys thanks for your time it's nice i will try it out.

I haven't been trading very long myself, but I definitely suggest trading during the day instead of over night till you really get your feet wet. I learned this the hard way. But if you like overnight I would at least trade small positions until you get consistent with certain setups. Goodluck man!!!

Your first trades you are going to mess up ,everyone does at the beginning then you learn what not to do. Try smaller positions from now on. Once you have more experience then you can size up. And For MCUR I would sell it as soon as possible, Cut Losses Intelligently, Or Cut loses Quickly. Hope this helps.

I think im going to begin trading really small overnight positions, too. Good idea!

Try smaller position sizes to get your system perfected. I'm a new trader too and playing with small positions. The position you have in MCUR @ 2000 shares looks big for only your second day trading. At least you know where you are going wrong, just learn from this now.

Here is a quote from an article I read the other day: "Thomson Reuters did a study and have concluded that 58% of all volume on the NYSE occurs during the first and last hour of trading. Of course the bulk of that trading is in the first hour. So, while one hour may only make up ~15% of the trading day, it is probably accounting for 35 to 40 percent of all the trades on average."

interesting

Dang. Seems somewhat maybe even mostly consistent that there's some bounce either way. I have a limited experience so I guess I really do have to keep watching. Paper trading is soooooo much easier than real trading ugh

Futures are really interesting their my next learning goal. Focused on Forex right now some really nice perks on Forex as well, no pdt low fees.

Have you looked at Options? I'm experimenting with them at the minute. Obviously the PDT rule applies to Options, however, there is less upfront risk because of the lack of obligation to exercise the contract.

Still great trade and even better getting your feet wet in other things to expand your portfolio.

How do you go about creating a watch list for options? Do you look at high volume options? High volatility options?

@Daniel_Ratcliffe I primarily look for high volume traded stocks. I also look for ones that move (volatility) in terms of moving 1 to 2 points daily. Googl is a definite mover sometimes 20 points in a day. Pick up on their trends throughout daily, and weekly time frames etc.

I would also check their differences in delta's. If they are closely split between bid and ask you will be good in terms of movement and profit. If the two are further in price, then it will take bigger and longer moves to gain profit.

nice recap, especially on the thought with ICLD..I missed it today tho..woke up late.

$MNKD I thought was a good play, broke the day high towards the close yesterday and finished stong. My idea was to buy at this breakout yesterday and hold into a morning spike today. If I'd done this I'd have seen +$2 a share. Hope some other people caught this.
