I have only been a member of Bear Bull Traders for a month. Everyone is friendly and helpful. In the short time I have been a member I have learned a lot about day and swing trading techniques. Additionally there is abundant advice on tradig platforms, setups, scanners. The things you really need to know about to help be a successful trader. I am very happy that I discovered the Bear BullTraders community through Andrew's and Brian's books. For me, it has been time and money well spent.

An update: After a couple of days, TD responded to my query and offered to remove the PTD flag as a courtesy, since I am such a newb. (my words) . So it ended well.

Yes they did. They just triggered the same day I placed the buy orders. Happened over a couple days.

I found out today that if you are attempting to Swing Trade and you get stopped out that day it counts towards the PTD rule. So I received a large margin call from TDAmeritrade. I freaked out but realize that I am not going to be able to trade with them for awhile. I knew I was setting my stops too close. What a lesson to learn. LOL I get more sim time. John

Thanks!

@onosendi Do you have a reference number for the keyboard you ordered?

Hi. I am John Ryan. I currently live In Carmel, IN. I found BBT through Andrew's book which I saw on Kindle Unlimited. I am a currently working as a Software Engineer. Stock trading has been an interest previously but the capital requirements escaped me. So much has changed over the past years with information becoming free or cheaply available that I think the barrier to entry has been lowered. Whether it has or not is just my perception which kept me from considering this. I am looking more at Swing trading until I can build capital to consider Day Trading. I grab information from various sources, and this is one. I hope to learn more about how people work and what is involved. Looking forward to hanging out. John
