I am a sub 21 student looking for the best place to buy (and short, but this isnt required) US stocks, and I am based in the UK which rules out many of the perfect places like Scott Trade etc. Small account minimums and none of the required 50000 salary are required, as is cheapish commisions...

Anyone got recommendations for the exact same thing, but for someone based in the UK? Scott trade, trade king etc. all need you to be based in the US.

Excellent reply. Many thanks. And yes, this will be a longer term job.

Hey ho, Quick question that Im sure is a simple one. How, as a UK resident, can I buy US shares to hold, SDS in particular. I think I am being quite thick about this, but etrade seemed to think I could only buy LSE listed stocks. Cheers

To confirm, you are using 5 day traditional floor pivots? That is what I read from the first few pages, I am assuming this doesnt change half way through the thread. Big up

RE, question for you. (I am demoing pretty much this, using R1/S1 and the .5 R1 and .5 S1 as my kill zones, and am trading the NQ fwiw) Few thoughts on the strategy: - Is buying a break back up (from sell zone, vice versa for buy zone) really a high % play? From having a look selling the...

Ive been using there sim account for the past few weeks; great customer support, great platform. But I have no experience of their live platform, not that I can see why it would be different.

Hi Bashir, Would you say this sort of trading is scalable to smaller account sizes? If you had say $3k, would the trip costs associated make it still feasible to trade sort term, probably with just the 1 contract? Also, do you have any recommended ways of paper trading the NQ through sc? Does...

WS - what CFD broker do you use?

Is there a minimum amount of capital required to trade these stocks directly? Spread betting is just not very good, but I do not have $25k. Can you open an IB account for 2k or so and adjust your risk accordingly? Ta

Taking the USDCAD short: My main issue with this applies to the 1 hour and 4 hour charts. Looking at this setup, a legit breakout from a trend, and a VERY strong one too given the previous candles, I just dont think a short is a high enough % play, with a good Risk Reward outcome. What are our...

Just been looking through some of your entries, and some thoughts for the above 2. Both of those trades looked to be very counter trend, and I am not suprised they turned out to be losers. This is particularly apparent in the second screenshot: The down day previously clear has broken a...

Only just saw this has had some replies. Not sure some of you got the question, but thanks anyhow. I agree with wilkobets, if it has gapped above and not worked out then just leave it, the good think about stocks is that daily you have hundreds of setups to choose from, particular the 250

So, How do you end of day data traders deal with morning gaps? So often I sit there planning a trade for the next day, lining up entry and stops, and then the market gaps above (for a long) or below (for a short), and I dont know what to do with it. I dont want to just market at the opening...

Question: On a trade of, say, £2 / point, how do I go about selling "half of it" ie cashing out the equivalent of £1 per point and letting the other roll?
