Discount Stock Trading

orryhappy asked:


I have traded with Scottrade but I know it is not good to trade with a 3rd party broker. I need a day trading platform. Anybody have a good idea and experience in this field?

Hey, I know this question depends on opinions, and even though I tried searching online for articles about it, I can’t seem to find an answer.

If I plan to start day trading, what’s the minimum amount of equity should I have? I mean by day trading, in my case, doing 3 to 5 orders per day.

if you know any articles discussing this, it would be great!

I have heared a lot about day tradders, is it when you watch a stock chart and when its low you buy and then turn around and sell it in the same day when the price is up?

I already invest in IRA’s and 401K, but I would like to get into something a little more could you say competitive. I want to get involved in some day trading. I would just like to know the easiest and best way to get started.

I have full time job. I lost $50,000 in day trading in 2007. I understand that I can not use the Mark to Market election (I am not a professional full time trader, and I have another full time job). Can I use these $50,000 in losses as a net operating loss on Schedule C? (in other words is there any way to get around the $3,000 loss limit)? Thank you.
