I stumbled upon this beautiful opputinuty while seeking finacial freedom. It was around the end of may of 2016 when i was first intrduce to this world (penny stock & Tim Sykes AKA Sensei)
I knew nothing and dedcated 3 month into studying about this new oppurnity i stubled upone. From the begaining i had no doubt this is what i wanted to do.
in August 2016 i started papre tradsing and this lasted for about 6 months and half.
Mid Faburary is when i opene my first tradding account with Robinhood. Off the bat i was having bad luck.
On my first week with my robinhood account i brok the PDT rule & suspended for 90 days.
That was extremely frustring cuz i was only able to swing trade, but i did not let that stop me. I was swing trading no like ones bussniess.
Becasue I was swing tradding i would buy stocks towards the end of day, watching them the whole day seeing how they behave & that really help understnad how these stocks can move through the day.
In the beggiing of this i was having major deceiplin issue where i would buy a stock in the morning and because i could only swing trade i was lock in my position the whole day. Some times things worked out like $HTGM $CBIO, but most of the time the stock would drop %30 from where i baught in the moringin and fade more some through the day.
This was horrible for my emotions, so i quickley stoped buying in the morings and soley buy towards the end of day. That really helped me controle my FOMO issues and impulsive buying issues.
I never got to fininsh my 90 suspension with RobinHood (thank goodness), I only made it through 60 days of torture (being to force to only swing trad. $ belive my i would write to Robinhood atleast once every 2weeks asking if i can get the fsuspension removed from my account and of course they said no lol)
Sooo pretty much i was with Robinhood for 2months, until the day finally came!!!! :)
I have finally gotten enough $ to open my Etrade account ($500) & my Etrade account was cleared just yesterday (5/11/2017)
Long story short, I am in this for ever. This is a skill that i will master and become a multi millionaire with. This is the life style i choose. And also to remind you, through out this whole process so far, I been studying my ass off!
Read American Hedg Fund Twice (actually rereading again as we speak)
Watched Tradrchecklisr roughly 6x
Read Penny socking 101 roughly 5-6x
watching as much free video content as i can
& honestly the list goes on from reading blogs to pulling all nighters, watching the Steven Dux interveiw 5x , lol like i said the list goes on. And the most beauitful thing abou this crazy jouney is that it just began for me,
I know $500 with Etrade is not a lot but belive i worked my butt off to get to this stage and theres now way i am turning around. I even have the closes people to me telling to give and and that this is not going to work, but i dont give them no fukes & the only the funny thing abou it is that there going tobe benfitting from my success (idk i dnt get people sometimes)
Long post i know. But yes despite all that been through Nearly a year now, I feel like this is only the beginning!!
Enjoy your weekend #teamsykes
sincerley,
Alexin Andre
I know who i am and what i am capable of, so i do not le any thing get to me
@novastox Why did you choose etrader over cheaper schwabb trades and what do you use to find stocks for your watchlist? finviz?
Good luck on your way to financial freedom! Could you share more about your swing-trading strategy and how you buy before the close? As I am in Europe and have a 9-5, I can only trade the last 2 hours, so your discoveries could really help me a lot. Thanks!
Good luck mang. Same boat as you here.
Hard work = $ .keep it up broski .i am right Behind ya.
