@intna89 Yeah its 99/month. You'll have to make atleast 30trades/quarter or there is some minimum amount you need to keep in your account, if you want it for free.

SureTrader isn't as bad, good borrows, leverage, and no PDT rule, executions are fast, cons comissions are too high, but is the only alternative to accounts under PDT .

The best way i have found to deal with Suretrader commissions and fees is to nickle and dime them the way they nickle and dime us. Trae under 500 shares and don't overtrade. If it's possible hold that trade. They charge by number of shares not by how much you make, but correct me if i'm wrong. The more you trade with them you open the door for them to dip into your cash. watch iboss statements closely to catch any descrepincies and notify them immediately (if you can- LOL).

also, they will take a percentage of anything leaving their hands (wires, ach, credit cards, etc) so to avoid these fees, ask your reputable broker like TD to request transferr of funds from Suretrader, they can even transfer any open trades too. Check with your broker to see if they do charge for this service and decide which option is best for you.

extremely helpful!

Thx Palmer. While I have spent many hours with the DVDs and Video lessons, application of the knowledge is of utmost importance. I don't know why it is so difficult to stay disciplined, but I am confident I will the resolve.

Take some time off and get your confidence back paper trading, then give it am other shot! Keep at it. It's not easy but I believe with persistence it's possible!

A book that has helped me out a LOT is Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas. It's all about getting ahold of your emotions and reducing some of the impusiveness that comes with trading. If you're more right-brained and sometimes all the tech-y stuff starts to blur together that book will really help.

Rally sells...I mean when the trend is down, stock rallys up a little and the rally...opposite of buying a dip.
