Fer' crying out loud, this is not passing the sniff test. Weren't we just down this road on another user ID?
Now THAT is a fun idea! The Mon-Thu trading peeps just meander in, bleary-eyed on Friday morning, because the previous 4 days were a bloody mess! A day off for traders, where they can shoot the sheet, you know?
What is wrong, exactly, with short term trader (e.g. scalper, swing trader, etc.) from doing $30.00 trades. Or even $10.00 trades?
Doesn't feel like an investment I'd put $$$k on to begin with? I'm not looking for get rich quick scheme
Scalping, swing trading, day trading, etc. are not "get rich quick" schemes. Scalping or very short term trading (scalp, swing, etc.) is a trading style specializing in taking profits on small price changes, generally soon after a trade has been entered and has become profitable. It requires a trader to have a strict entry and exit strategy using the right tools, such as a live feed, a direct-access broker and the plan/strategy to be successful. Many traders do scalp successfully and make a living at it. A series of 30.00 trades in a day can add up very quickly. You're probably not quite ready for scalping nor do I think that very many people (or any people) are going to share "trade ideas over Skype or whatever". Most people in this chat group have their own trading ideas for the options markets. Which, by the way, is the topic of this particular group. Options. Not stocks. Not sure what your options picking capabilities are. Best
