Mr. Charts you really are amazingly good at catching these before the moves. Here's my attempt on a paper trade. I was just bouncing around looking at volume movers when I stumbled upon QVCA just a few minute ago. After the entry candlestick (the crosshairs) the small drop did give me some worry...

Here are two more opportunities. The first image is a 3 minute chart. AMD took off right out of the gate. My goal was to get in on a break above the nearby high above the white line but it was moving quickly. I sent the order to buy at $6.00 which was executed at about $6.02. I was also late...

Here is one I spotted in FMSA right near the move in ZIOP. I had just opened the chart and didn't have time to set up for a trade but noticed pretty tight consolidation in the previous candlestick which was at the bottom of a clean trend down. About $0.08-$0.10 was available here. A good example...

Here are a few more. Sometimes it's extremely difficult to find stocks that move in the right way. I think that's more than half the battle. Like ZIOP in this case, I sometimes try to find stocks that have dropped dramatically and wait for consolidation followed by signs that it's starting to...

I can't answer your question but I've traded commodity futures before and if you are trading futures without any rules and without knowing when to get in/out or what kinds of orders you should be using I would strongly recommend that you reconsider. I was able to just about break even after a...

Here's my attempt. I saw that another oil stock I watch was moving nicely. So I checked out NE, which was more suitable to my account size, and saw that it was too. First trade is with real money with an entry at $8.5061 buying 900 shares. My account size is rather small so after it moved up a...

Since originally I wasn't really asking for a brokerage review, I posted questions about this in the regular Stocks forum but didn't receive any responses so I though it might be better to post about it here. Have any short funded traders out there had any success obtaining margin from US...

Hello, I am a US stock trader and have been trading since 2009. I am relatively short funded and have traded without margin but I'm trying to obtain margin to build my account and increase the number of trading opportunities available to me. Recently my application for margin with my current...
