Probably splits and reverse splits
Like he said. Split. They cut your shares to equal the new price. You don't actually make money, you more than likely lose money because they reduce your shares
@TYMTT could be but there was no news of splits so it confuses me

I got out early in the am for small profit, was not sure if it would hold up , volume is low.
Looks like EMMD would have been a good swing trade for the last 6 days

yea, sick run up , wish I held longer

It's not fees. You'll be flagged as a pattern day trader if you make more than 3 day trades in a 5 business day period and wont be able to make a day trade for 90 days. There are 2 common methods around it. What I'm doing is having 2 different accounts and switching back and forth between them so I don't miss out on too many plays. Or you can get a suretrader account, It's based in the Bahamas and isn't subject to the Pattern day trader rule. The down side is there customer service is such g
garbage. I've heard lots of people having trouble withdrawing money from the accounts with suretrader.
I am using 2 accounts as well.
@ImBatman I used suretrader in thr past. It's just tbr time it takes to receive it is slow

I am not a great trader, but im working with a small account (1000) and i have been swing trading pot stocks, its hard to pull the trigger on a day trade knowing you have to cover your fees. When i see a potential 10% gain, and can only invest a few hundred dollars, its just not worth it. Tough position to be in. I consider it live training. Good luck to all of us with small accounts
The reason your funds are held up is because you have a cash account. If you had say $5000 and spent $2500 on 1 stock, you then have another $2500 which can be spent on another stock. If you spend all $5000 on one stock, you have to wait for the cash to settle. Upgrade to a margin account (i believe 2k is the minimum)
Be careful! i have also just begun trading and studying in december last year. I wasn't aware of the 3 days to settle rule at first and mid january got my account band for 90 days :(
That band account was with fedility. There is no reversing a band with fedility. I however found out that by turning that account into a margin account it removed the band. I now have two small margin account (2000 - 3000) with fedility and e-trade. It gives me the benifit of avoiding the PDT rule and also margin accounts don't take 3 days to settle. Just be careful, i never take a postion that uses the margins funds they provide. I only have it to avoid the 3 day settle rule. let me know if

If you are feeling uncomfortable in a trade that isn't going your way then get out. Aim small, Lose small
disclaimer : I AM A NEWB. But I don't see a catalyst and the volume is fading 45 minutes into the day. I wouldn't hold. If I bought in the morning I would be worried that I was chasing a leprechaun.

Good luck! You should post some of your profits/details. What broker(s) are you using? I'm at the $1K mark myself now (of my own money) and have been learning via swing trades the past few weeks.
Currently using TD Ameritrade, I really like the service the tools and everything are great, only downside is the commission rates are $10 per trade. And Good luck to you aswell!

yup already down after hours dip buy might be good or if we get a short squeeze


I think its going to hold pretty steady for the most part. If anything it will continue upward a bit, IMO.I definately wouldnt short.
