ORB looks fine. What is that level it bounces off ? Try to look at level 2 when price gets near a certain MA or S/R level Kasper

Yesterday I had an interesting discussion with a few trading buddies about planning the trades. I was baffled to learn that most of them didn't actually try to predict the move a potential stock in play could make. I always find at least 2 stocks that I like and, try to predict the move. Basically if it could turn into a nice 1-min ORB if it rejected a level or a 5-min ORB if it held above a certain level etc. Let me know how you guys plan out your trades and if it helps to release some of the stress that comes with trading.

CMEG is a good choice if you are trading a small account. (less than 1000 shares) Short list could be better. it is not as good as IB. I haven't had any problems when transferring funds. However, International wires can sometimes be tricky. Yes, it comes with a DEMO account. Kasper

1-2 min rule is just selling/covering if the price doesn't move in your favor in the first 1-2 mins.

My favorite strategy on the 1 min chart is waiting for the price to go back to the EMA-20. Most of the time it is possible to get in for a quick scalp and lock in some good gains. However, I also use a 1-2 min rule just in case the price decides to move further up or down depending on your position. If you choose to only use the 1 min chart, expect to get out of the trade relatively fast. you can always keep a few shares for a bigger move if the price moves higher or lower.

I have the DasTrader app on my phone and Ipad both with separate data packages However, I'm not sure if that would work doing a citywide blackout. Kasper

Yeah these guys can be interesting at times. Have you tried calling them on their TOLL free number ? Kasper Jensen

No, you would have to set-up a cash account with your broker. Kasper

How is your risk to reward in the last hour? Are you risking too much for a small move? Kasper Jensen

You don't have to master the open if you do better at the close. I have never been able to successfully trade the last hour as you do. You can try different strategies and risk management if you are having trouble trading the open. However, Focus on what you are good at and trade the hack out of the last Hour What strategy do you use when trading the last hour? Kasper Jensen

I apologize for not responding back. For some reason, I don't get any notifications in the forum. I'm happy your problem is resolved. Question: how many trades do you usually do every week? Kasper Jensen

Are you setting up an account below 25k? If so, CMEG is the way to go. CMEG will allow you to have both a sim and real account which you can change in the montage. Also, what is the exact problem you are having setting up an account? Kasper Jensen

did your stop not trigger at the right price? Kasper Jensen

Take a look at https://www.ig.com/ Are you outside the United States ?

People seem to blame the stock market for all their troubles. The (high-frequency trading) is my favorite because nobody is saying anything when the trade is going in their favor. This type of tax has been proposed several times and it always ends up nowhere.
