I'm still in the simulator faze. Anyone know how I can get EMA or SMA ? I got VWAP but don't see EMA & SMA ? Also anyone know how I can get this feature regarding the buy-shrt ? Thanks.

Hey everyone. Just wondering is there anyway to practice/paper trading, after trading hours ? Most of my free time is in the evening after the markets close (live on the west coast). Is it possible ? Are there any stocks that trade 24/7 (besides forex). Do you need a certain software or...

Hey everyone. Just have some questions regarding scalping. I know most scalpers buy a large junk (500 shares or more ?) and hold it for about 30 sec to a minute. They make profit over small wins and do about 30+ trades a day ? I've found that I cant really hold on to a trade to long and for...

I was thinking maybe just screen recording a couple of minutes, it would be better to visually see it rather then explaining. I'll try and post soon, never used a screen recorder. Thanks. :)

Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong ? So I normally hold on to a trade for 30 sec to a min. But this is whats stumping me. Lets say I buy 100 shares of ABC, buy market and its long. My P/L is in the green. But I notice it starts to go down, so I reverse (go short) a 100 shares and my P/L...

This is what also scares me. Never got IQ tested, I however did pretty poorly in school no matter how hard I tried, I for the most part just passed. The EQ (Emotional intelligence, I assume ?). I can understand basic emotions, and of others, only problem is my high anxiety, low self-esteem, lack...

I will defiantly spend months paper/demo trading. Still trying to figure out thinkorswim. Just wondering how long do you usually hold on to a trade ? Is it wise to find a stock and just read the charts from the past year ? Thanks.

Hey guys. I hear many stories of people learning and it seems to be all over the place. Some recommend books, others say its a waste. Some recommend watching hours and hours of the free youtube vids, my only problem is those channels 99% of the time just show the winning days. Others just open...

Sorry for late replay, been having computer issue for the past week. No I didn't set up any banking account, just an email and password. I thought paper trading was all fake money and live trading only way to use it was to set up an actual account. But when I get live data its in the live...

So I got it up and running. However to get the live data/real time quotes I have to go to the real time trading, its free for 60 days. If I start trading with the real time will I get hit or charged with the loses ? I didn't actually set up any sort of account with TD, besides email and...

Sorry to keep bothering you. But you say its free. Would that mean the live stock ticker data would be delayed by 5-10-15, or more minutes ? I heard you have to pay to get real live min ticker.

IB..Interactive broker ? Thanks.

I'm still in the learning stages, really in the learning stages lol. I wanna just open a accurate trading account. I've come down to td's thinkorswim since it seem to be the best talked about for beginners. That said. Will it provide everything I need ? Is there something else that I will need...

Looks like a I still have a lot to learn before I even start a practice accounts. Thanks for the help. :)

Hey everyone. After years i've finally decide that I would take the next step in trading and open up a practice account. My problem is i'm not sure which is the best platform. I assume to get the actual real time you have to pay, I just dont wanna get suckerd into paying twice as much for a...
