Hey, I´m new in this community, also, I´m new day trading in a real account. It´s my first 3-days green doing a new strategy: scalping stocks with quick profits and stocks in play who have fast extended moves, and adding liquidity to the market. I would like to know if in this community anybody does the same, a high rate of executions per day adding liquidity and with a very low commission structure per share. Can you share your trading style, strategy and experiences with your prop firm doing something similar? I attach the today summary of my trades. Thanks! Braian
What software and broker do you use? Our Lightspeed Trading software has a stock scanner to look for moving stocks like that. Many of my clients do the same as you. Bob
Hi Robert, I use Sterling with a Prop Firm. I´ve tried Lightspeed and I think is an excellent platform! But the costs are a little bit high for daytrading I think and the initial account is higher.
Good to hear you are using our software. Yes, we must require $35k plus but I would not say our fees are high. We are amoung the lowest in the industry. I hope you are at a regulated prop firm. Good luck
No, is not regulated and it is an off-shore prop, because I don´t have 35k and I need some buying power for the strategy. But, I have good references for people using it for years. I know the risks.
Great job btrader85! I traded prop for many years doing just that, but I focused on stocks with less volume. Most people including me abandoned scalping due to algo trading. If you manage to understand the tape of these stocks, you will do very well as they provide plenty of liquidity to get in and out of large positions.
