@williammorris16 Yeah, thank you. I guess it does really come down to being a new trader. 1. my confidence isnt great 2. Im not properly planning before trades. Thank you for the help.

I miss dozen of them a day. You can’t trade them all and you need accept the idea your eyes can’t be everywhere. If you miss trades on stocks you are watching closely then its another problem : you might have the fear to pull the trigger when things are setting up. That means you’re most likely not prepared enough. Prepare your trades more. If the things you’re looking for are lining up, you shouldn’t be hestitating. Try visualization. Be in the trade even before it actually happens. Good luck

don't focus on what you've missed. that'll destroy you. focus on opportunities.

Having a plan will help. I had the same problem and got pissed off i kept missing opportunities so i wrote this blog: http://profit.ly/user/TradeSmall?id=2713354

that PDT rule, is 3 trades per week or per day?.

Per week.

3 Trades be it one day or week or in 5 business days.

Mmm that sucks, thanks for the info

@JKelly so can you actully buy and sell at premarket and aftermarket?

@enigmatj69 With certain brokers they will allow you to sneak through like Speedtrader and Interactive Brokers

@JKelly mmm ok, but technically your not suppose to right?.

@enigmatj69 It's not really a "not supposed to" thing like its illegal. It's just a glitch in the system. My thoughts as to why the system allows it happen is to account for the influx in volume and take a little weight off of the market makers systems when the market opens. Thats just a guess though. Im not sure anyone has the right answer unless you spoke to a market maker. lol

UMFG is more of a pump than anything. If you can't find shares to short, be patient and wait for the morning panic dip-buy when it drops 20% or more off its highs. See ENVV and CANN for what that looks like

Those OTCs with volume with always tend to bounce once they take those incredible dumps.

Thank you

can you buy and sell at pre-market and after market?

For me it's a couple nights of babysitting. I've wanted to let it go bc it's a lot but it's a good tool, i've gotten used to it, I like a lot of the features, I don't wanna give up my older rate, I like paper trading while I study, it's easy to use.

@LizLele yes i was looking at the videos and it looks so much user friendly, and is oracle part of that? because i saw a video about oracle but i did not pay attention to the part, that it cuts your research in half and it gives you the stocks that are moving more, but i do not remember if oracle was part of STT, do yu know if it is?.

It is but I don’t know how to work it yet. Oracle is a prediction feature based on data

ok,ok, well thanks for the info, will be in touch.

I sign up for alerts and I only get text when you sell

when oyu say dip buy, does that mean short selling?.

@enigmatj69 wait for the stock price bounce off from new low and watch to buy

@enigmatj69 Yea there are some on his list that don't move. The thing I've learned from Tim is that you need to learn to be self-sufficient. In other words, be the guy that researches and finds his own stock and alerts others rather than the guy that sees stocks that other people have found and just play those. I'm not saying never use other people's findings, but just make sure you know why you wan't to buy the stock and all of the fundamental reasons behind them. Thanks for the comment!

@mina_cole Here it is! I found it very helpful. https://www.timothysykes.com/blog/my-secret-formula-for-finding-penny-stocks-pre-spike/

yup, and the STT program is awesome but it's kind of price if you'r not profiting yet, i was looking at a video from Tim Bohen and it's bad ass because oracle narrows down the stocks that are moving but again it's expensive if you'r not still profiting, but as soon as i can afford it i will get it, and i highly recommended, it cuts your reaserch time down next to nothing.

@enigmatj69 That's awesome! Thanks for the advice! I am still going to be researching a bit on what to use. Thank you though. I think this communication between traders is very useful!

Thinkorswim
