I am new here, this is my first post. I have been studying daily and want to open an account soon. I have narrowed it down to a couple of brokers but i would like to know who paper traded first and who you used. If i open e-trade they do not offer paper trading. If i open ameritrade they limit trades per week (which may not be a big deal) but they have great tools and paper trading. Any suggestions would help. I want to fund and start trading in April. So thought maybe i could use the month of March paper trading.
Thanks everyone, i did open a thinkorswim yesterday so i will play around with those tools etc. Krystal i will also be starting with a small account and enjoyed your blog posts!
You will be happy with it
@musthavefaith Make sure you email TDA and ask for real time quotes, otherwise your quotes will be delayed but your orders will fill at real time prices
And I can attest to the destructiveness of that reality...I didn't know this, and my first trade saw me ask 1.75, on a 1.11 position, which sold at 1.55....a 25 cent difference in my ask, and the fill price of the ask...
