Re: Got any day traders in here?

I'm an investor. I make mostly long term investments to facilitate my early retirement. I do keep about 20k on scotttrade to play around with short sales and day trades.

Ya well thats one way to go about it, Imo you can learn something from everyone so I try and read and watch dvds from many different traders to get new ideas on things. Sykes vids are decent intro's, and IU has seminars every 2 weeks that have brought my trading to a new level. They actually have a free 2 week trial def worth checking out.

i take about 5-7 pages of notes on the market, 5-6 days a week, on a yellow tablet by hand,

i'm learning everyday, lol

Re: Got any day traders in here?

Ya dream job Hedge Fund Manager, however very difficult to get. My cousins Husband is one and makes stupid money. I am primarily a short seller, fav set up being the late day fade w/ break under consolidation. I go long too but just not nearly as successful at that. Trade OTCs for the most part, some nasdaq, almost never am/ex b/c the spreads are usually too big for me. And NYSE you have to deal with too many variables. I like $0.50 to $10 stocks for longs, I'll go up to $30 or so for s/s.
