Hey Profit.ly community!
It's been SO long since I have been on here and I have missed it dearly. I stepped away from trading a few months ago just because I wanted to chase some things that never really happened, and when I returned, I couldn't afford STT.
This is where I need your help.
Until I am in a place where I can have STT again (it is by far the best software out there and if you haven't done the free trial it is the best thing you'll ever do) I was wondering what free tools you guys used to trade. My main concern is real time reliable quotes. I'm the type of guy that needs to watch every single tick and not doing that makes me a little too scared to trade (maybe I'll get past that one day.)
Anyway, if you guys could throw your 2 cents in that would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Only problem I have is being 18 (in Alabama the age of majority is 19) TD won't allow me to open an account for some reason. It confuses me because Fidelity let me have my own account so I don't know what the deal is. I do need to try looking into TOS though. Sadly when I did the free trial with my primary email I didn't hardly use it because I couldn't figure it out.
@JWelborn Try to ask your parents if they can help you open an account with Tdameritrade and just don't fund it. A year later, you can switch the account as the sole owner.
@JWelborn Once you set up your TDameritrade account you have the option of paper trading. If you do paper trade? Ask Tdameritrade to give you realtime paper trading.
@donebeingpoor Thanks for the tip. Also, love the username.
