You know to make this fair I guess we should discuss the $7 amount . To me that seems fair. What do you all think .

Since I don't trade on line . Do you get charged when you buy and also when you sale ??
Do you guys want this to be a week long event or maybe just one day a week or something ???
I think $7 is a reasonable amount. It's per transaction.

As for participation, I think it should be up to each member what days they play. If you're out of the market for a day, so be it.

How/where do you find out what's going on in after-hour trading? I'm not seeing it and it's killing me on the opening bell. I make my picks before the bell but then seem to get screwed due to after-hours trading from the previous night.

Right below the name ,when you lookup the stock ,it will say "Real Time" . Look There . If its changed it will show up .

I had one meeting today and got screwed. My stock took a nice jump and I could have sold it for an $800 profit.

I'm in google finance. It only shows end-of-bell for the previous day (unless I'm looking in the wrong area).

I wanted to get started in day trading yesterday with you all, but didn't get to research anything ...so I didn't buy. I mean it would cost me right? :bonk:

Still have not done the research but the 5 grandd is burning a hole in my pocket.
I'll buy 229 shares of WSM @ 21.78 ea. = 4987.62

Real time at 3:09 is 22.10. I'm selling now. 229 x 22.10 = 5060.90

5060.90 + 12.38 = 5073.28 Whew, I'm tired. Rough day.
I am tickled to end my first day of day trading with a gain. :D
Beginners luck for sure.

I do figure a cost per trade has to be added in, or maybe everyone gets one buy and sell per day free (since we have to) and any additional ones cost an agreed upon amount. That would keep it simpler ...and simple is good.

Is there a certain percentage that real Day Traders look at to determine if they had a good day on the market ????
I have no idea .
I do not look at stocks as $ earn but % increased . I guess some could argue the point , but you know what i mean .

I'm selling quick. Both of mine are DOWN.
Selling Sun @ 8.53 ea x 162 = 1381.86

Selling DHI @ 10.44 ea x 300 = 3132

My grand total is now: 4518.94 Expensive day for me. :(

I think I'll go ahead and sell for my first gain of the week :clap:. Up $127 on the day. I'm almost back to even money!

RF @ 5.49 = 907 shares = $4979.43

Sold RTK @ 1.29 x3955 shares = $5101.95 .


$101.95 for a weeks work ???? yuck.

Whats that equal ? About a 2% gain for a week , I think . I guess that ain't too bad if you look at it long term . 2% times 52 weeks = 104% return for the year .


There ain't no way I could do this for a year !!!:w00t2:
