@robdlp1 I only really create my watchlist every morning. Today I nailed $LUB and VXRT short.

@Willthetrader i do take float into account. I tend to look at daily gainers, PM gainers, 52 wek high. All with a news catalyst. I also look at Ichimoku breakouts.

Only thing i can say is try to niche down on the patterns that you see and are comfortable with, there really no need to trade more that 3-8 times per week, if you pick the right plays. Like mark crook, 6% of his trades make up most of his profits.

Read some good trading psychology books too, they might help.

You will make more money if your focused structured trading by the rules. First off you need to get another broker. After you have switched brokers need to work on yourself. Should only be trading the perfect setups. I only trade about 4-7 trades total throughout the week.

It wasn't a strong support. However, It was very close to the opening level and comfortable enough for me to take some risks. My biggest mistakes I believe were poor execution on the right entry and random pick up of an exit level with no chart relevance.

I recommend tim G's dvd, it changed my whole concept of support and res levels

Go for IB a/c if you have $10,000 ready to deposit. Otherwise use Etrade. Scottrade has cheaper commissions but they don't have good executions.

If I were just starting I would go with IB and http://stockstotrade.com/ I am currently using IB and Etrade for my data, but I will probably get STT one of these days.

Welcome man! good luck! if you plan on getting around or less than 1k shares most of the time, IB is cheaper at .005 per share, unlike Suretrader, even if you only want like 600 shares (with IB thats $3) and with suretrader, that trade might not be worth it after commsions. If you are worried about pdt you can also open a Robinhood account. On a cash account NO PDT. And no fees at all. Good luck!

@yawnabit I bet, I was going to start with SureTrader, but after I ran some numbers - commissions, fees, platform cost, withdrawal fees; it was not worth it (for me personally). Trading alone has enough emotions, so all these little things add emotion alone because you are kind of force to trade to make sure that having the account just active/open is worth the cost. So I decided to save a bit more and just go straight to Interactive Brokers.

Smart move, i got that apifany AFTER i put most my money in suretrader, i use their free platform tho, TOS/STT are what i use for charts. I just know IB will be my next broker when i get the chance, and yea exactly, adds a lot of emotion, especialy starting out.
