  4. for the life of me, i cant see how you guys trade stocks like rim. i been trying to look for a low price stock to trade but all these stocks you guys choose all show direction in the negative if stocks could go down in the negatives i honestly believe they would.

    All these stocks have resistance that is not really related to chart but more so to the fact that stocks dont go in the negative. so goin short is hard and going long is risky as it is against the trend,

    These stocks are very unique and maybe looking at them longer i will see something but for now i hate them. Is trading Netflix really out of the picture if going through a prop firm ?

    does any one know any stocks like netflix but at a lower price by like netflix i mean trading in a direction rather then all over the place ?

    brutal end to the month, 13 straight losers starting tuesday. 3-14 week, 20-38 month (34%). I don't mention dollar amounts very often but I'll go on record and say that I still managed to finish the month green for less than $20. :)
