  3. Thats perfect man. Just what i needed.

    Just a question, Whats the difference between, something like Etrade and Interactive Brokers. What should i go to. Whats better for a begginer.

    Thanx
     
  4. Neither one, for a beginner that wants to do a lot of trades; IB won't support you enough, and the other one is not a good place to learn high volume trading.
     
  5. Metooxx, ok what do you suggest i start with, what broker, what type of broker, Id like to join some good direct acess brokers, but im only going to be opening an account with $5000.

    What do you suggest man.

    Thank you very much
     
  6. Maybe Terra Nova, more expensive, but direct access with good technical support and a good trade desk, which you will need ...

    You must have at least $25,000 to start an account that you will be day-trading with. If you do more than 3 turnarounds (buy/sell or sell/buy) within a 5 day period you are considered a pattern trader by the SEC and you need a min of $25,000 or the broker you are using (so long as they are following the rule) will not let you enter your third position because it would be a potential pattern day trade.:(
     
  8. Yea that one looks good.
