Trading for the least amount of money

Recommended Posts

If he wants to trade index futures, on the other hand, a cheap way to do it is to analyze and take signals from the emini and enter the trade on the ETF, whether DIA or SPY or QQQQ.

 

The sad part is you need $25,000 min. in your account to day trade the ETFs even if you trade only 50 shares, as per the Pattern Day Traders Rule. No wonder so many newbies blow up their small accounts in no time in Index Futures.

Only if you make so many round trades a week. And while I may be mistaken, so far he's said nothing about daytrading.

 

In any case, there's no PDT regarding simtrading. And if he becomes confident in what he's doing, he may decide to explore the joys of holding overnight. :)

That's right. By buying out-of-money BSC call options on March 17th and held through several overnights.:o

Actually, years ago when I was working with Teresa Lo, she recommended that beginners with very little money start with options on whatever underlying they were interested in. Granted this was during The Madness, and options occupy their own little niche and require their own learning curve, but it's something to think about.

 

As for the PDT, I hope that that will eventually be rescinded. As far as I've seen ever since it was imposed, beginners are just as naive, they ask the same questions, make the same mistakes, lose just as much just as often. The only appreciable difference is that they've been forced into other markets which are even worse, like goo through a pastry tube.

 

In any case, one could borrow whatever's required to open a futures account, then withdraw nearly all of it. Depends on how badly one wants to learn how to trade futures.

Buy Multicharts outright... for 1500.00... LIFETIME License and free updates for life. Its the best deal. I've spent WAY more than that with TS, and its got so much more than TS in terms of features, scalability, support, etc.

 

Then open an account with AGN Futures... They have free data whether you do 0 trades or 1000 trades. And really good tick data too.

A few questions, if you don't mind....

 

How much is the monthly fee if you purchased the lifetime license?

 

Is there back-fill historical data available? Minute or tick data? And how long back?

 

AGN Futures? Whom do they clear thru? Who are they an IB for? Transact? Open E Cry?

They are not a broker; they are a charting platform.

No monthly fee if you have the lifetime license.

Depends on which data vendor you use. Since they are a charting platform, they do not provide data. They can plot both time, tick and volume based charts.

 

 

AGN Futures? Whom do they clear thru? Who are they an IB for? Transact? Open E Cry?

They are not a broker.

 

This might be easier to visit their website and read for yourself. All your questions and more are answered there. http://www.tssupport.com/multicharts/

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
