    Hi everyone,

    so i'm thinking of using TradingSim to practice trading in recent past, as a substitute to das trader real time simulator (my demo expires tomorrow). the reason is,  apart from it being cheaper, I want to increase my exposure to a bigger amount of recent market data than what a real-time simulator can , and also can make my practice really time-flexible as I could do it whenever I want. 
    I'm asking for opinions because they offer only a yearly package with one time payment, requiring bank card details when I try to join the 7 day trial, and I wouldn't like to pay for it if it is not worth it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes that would be an option of offshore broker to avoid PDT. Just be mindful that if you choose DAS, monthly cost will be charged to your account so $500 will shrink too soon.

    Thanks again, I ll look it up further. I will only enroll in das simulator some time soon though, a broker and a real platform will take some time later, and my initial capital will be growing steadily for some time before a make an account.

    Hi Konstantinos, you can use credit card and paypal to pay your membership. I guess you are talking about a debit card, yes your card should have enough funds to process the payment. You can use your debit card to pay with paypal. 

    Please let me know if you have any questions,

    Abiel 

    I mean, I constantly move my money around my accounts, and there may be some days that the specific account linked to the card may not have enough money in it. is there any chance that my membership will be immediately cancelled due to that? or will I be informed to update my account balance before that?

    Hi Konstantinos. PDT rules apply to every broker based in the US, so if you are using an US-based broker, does not matter where are you based, you are subject to PDT. If you are using IB Canada, PDT rule does not apply, because IB Canada is a canadian company and PDT is a regulation of an US authority (FINRA) for US brokerage companies. 

    IB US account minimum are here. 

    thank you very much for the answer. so the next best choice I guess would be CMEG?

    Hi everyone!

    My name is Kostas and I am from Greece. I am 26 years old, I'm a military doctor and I aspire to become an orthopaedic surgeon.

    I never had any contact with economics and markets (except for my father being an economist and I was learning some stuff here and there), until a few days before, when I came across Andrew's first book. Last few weeks I expressed some interest on cryptocurrencies. As I was browsing Amazon for cryptocurrency books, I saw How to Day Trade for a Living, with an astonishing number of positive reviews, and although I was inherently fearful of markets (I always considered them according to common opinion too manipulated, something that you needed to be an insider to get a profit) I decided to give it a try. I finished it in a sitting and went to Advanced Strategies in Day Trading, made a further reading list of psychology, technical analysis, etc, and at the same time scoured this site and youtube channel.

    I was finally attracted, first by the demanding nature of the business, that in order to succeed someone needs for example to balance his emotions and be in an optimal physical condition. And second, the time frame of taking decisions, based on many factors, in a matter of seconds and minutes intrigued me, it's not at all different from my profession of medicine after all. I actually believe the one can me make better at the other and vice versa.

    I'm also lucky I live in Europe, EST+7, so in normal days my working hours won't be a severe interference for NY stock market. I don't intend to ever leave medicine, it's something I love, but I don't intend to take day trading lightly either. I'm up for the challenge, and have great energy to unlock a new serious potential. 

    I'm really happy to be here guys, and I'll be happy to get to know more of you better along the way.

    Thanks.
