Trying to find an on line broker. Suggestion?

Subscribing to Barrons and reading Market Wizards as we speak.
Just starting out 4 monitors isn't really a great idea. You end up gettting paralysis analysis. I have 4 monitors and it's just overkill. Two 22" is plenty

Re: The DayTrading Rockstar

Sounds a bit premature to just dive in and trade, but interactive brokers is pretty cheap and easy way to get started.

Actually the hard part is keeping it!

Personally I would learn a bit about market structure, price action, call it what you will. That will stand you in good stead regardless of the approach you choose. You might discover that is all you need.

Re: The DayTrading Rockstar

This guy is somewhat entertaining. I really wonder if he's profitable, because it's hard for me to believe someone needs to charge if they're making money trading.

this guy defines the term DOUCHE. Wow. And I love some of his statements like "no one knows the markets better than me" followed by I hit 50% win rates (even though he claims on his site 80%).

Hell in one of his videos showing his collective2 record hes like "you can see how well i'm doing compared to the S&P" Well duh... sitting in cash was kicking the S&P by 50% at the time of his video...

But the best part is his actual results he reads out... $24, $113, $34 $-813, and $67.... wait what? His equity curve is this tiny sloping up line with a MASSIVE drawdown. He claims it only happens once in awhile... well yea, but that once in awhile knocked out ever gain you've had since you started tracking with collective2.

People like this give traders a bad name.
