i use scottrade and etrade. just basic account does just fine

i think etrade and its platform is a great second option to STT

i leave 75cents in a TdAmeritrade account. Their ThinkorSwim platform is free to use for account holders. Its level 2/scanners/news arent that great to me tho. Mostly just for charting.

Had the right idea, as $5 was a clear breakout level. I too got in with small size at 5.04. However the volume wasn't enough to keep pushing this up. I got out pretty quick when it couldn't hold the pull back to 4.90's. Would have been a good short, but I was scared it was going to ramp back up later in the day. Always trade based on price action. I am finally learning to trade by what the chart gives me and cut out all the emotional distraction. Either way, as long as we learn from our mistakes

I totally feel you man, i was the same with MTG the day before the crash, i got in and it paniced before hitting new highs that day, for my i learned to watch it for a second longer than i normally would and trying to be more deliberate

DDay was in the past a promoter pump and dump but I don't know much about it. Maybe that helps though :)
