How do we anticipate the debt ceiling that is coming up ?

Yes, look for volume histogram.

Hi Abiel,

 

Thanks. Unfortunately, it only works for a time period no broader than 2 weeks.

[Volume by Price on DAS, what is it on TWS ?]

DAS Pro has a very interesting study line can added to a chart called Volume By Price.

Does TWS of Interactive Broker have some similar ?

Have you tried Tradingview? On the far left is a filters button. https://www.tradingview.com/screener/

 

Thanks. This is really helpful.

[OTC stocks screener]

Is there any free OTC stocks screener just like Finviz for listed stocks ?

[Order Routing]

What about NASDAQ ? 

[Fixed Route vs. Smart Route]

What benefits could I possibly get by choosing a particular route e.g. ARCA or NASDAQ over smart route ? Execution time and/or Cost ?

Thanks

[Over The Counter (OTC)]

I am currently using a training account on DASPRO. I am not able to view an OTC stock. It says "No Permission".

Are we not allowed to trade OTC stocks ? Thanks.

[Noob question regarding Margin Interest on Overnight/Swing Trades]

Sorry for redundant question. I still don't get it. Let's say I have a margin account. When I keep my long position (within my equity, not taking margin) overnight, do I still have to pay interest ?

If yes, that means swing trading is very expensive.

When I have open order, what happens if I switch my computer off.

[DAS Pro simulator does not provide News ?]

3 hours ago, Justin said:

Not sure about the Simulator... My assumption is it isn't available. You can always message DAS Support!

It does work for live; but in my personal opinion, it's not the best news aggregator out there. Listening to Benzinga in the chat room is a far more effective.

Thanks. I just talked to the support. It is unfortunately not enabled.

[DAS Pro simulator does not provide News ?]

Hi,

 

I am currently using the BBT DAS Pro simulator. The News tool is not enabled. Can somebody confirm it ? How to get it enabled ?

Does the live version have the news tool that can be anchored to the montage ?

 

Thanks,

Saoer

[Short selling]

Let's say I have 1000 shares of shortable stocks. I sell 2000 shares. 1000 will be sold, and other 1000 is shorted, right ? Thanks. 

[Swing trading entry and exit]

Is it fair to say that in swing trading we act in the same manner as day trading for the entry and exit ? thanks.

[Broker for swing trading]

Hi, newbie here. When you carry stocks (short or long) overnight or even perhaps 1-2 weeks, isn't the fee big ? Is it wise to use day trading account for swing trading ? Thanks.

Das sim shows IB short inventory.

Abiel,

Just to clarify. It shows IB short inventory without having an account at IB ? Thanks

You´ll need a trading platform or check broker´s Short Stock Availability List. Really this is  broker dependant, IB could have BYND stocks to short, and CMEG don´t. 

Abiel,

So... there is no way to know it from DAS Simulator, right ? I really have to have an account at a broker ? Thanks.

1. In DAS, you will see a "S" o the montage (this is explained on Class 1 / Onboarding session)
2. The price is shown in the L1, L2 in the montage and in the chart (candlesticks) (this is explained on Class 1 / Onboarding session) The limit is your buying power, in case of high volatile stocks, the margin is reduced or non existent, this depend on your broker
3. In DAS about one second using marketable limit orders
4. In day trading we cover our shorts in the same day. If you swing trade, when short you would pay interest on the position size for each day you hold it overnight.

Abiel,

Thank you for the response. I don't have any trading platform e.g. DAS installed yet, nor am I registered to any Broker.

I am still in early phase of learning. Is there a cost-free way  to see if a certain stock is available for short ?

Thanks,

Saoer

[What does daily level mean?]

Guys,

 

Another silly questions. What does "daily level" mean ? What is the significance of it ?

Why previous day close is often used as support indicator ? Why not previous day's lowest ?

 

Thanks 

[Short selling]

Hello,

 

I am a newbie. I have a few questions regarding short selling.

1. How can we know that a stock is available for short sell. In other words, how do we know if the broker has the stock, and we can borrow it for short sell.

2. Is there a limit for the volume we can borrow, and what is the price ? Is this information always available on the associated platform ?

3. When we borrow stocks from a broker, how fast can this be executed ?

4. What is the time frame given to a trader to return the stocks back to the broker ? Is it always the same for every stock ?

 

Thanks 

[Pre-market and After-hour trade]

Thanks mhileman.

In TI scanner, one could list the Relative Volume ? What is the default formula ? Can a user change the formula ?

Is a scanner part of the trading platform ? or are they two different software ?

Thanks.

[Pre-market and After-hour trade]

Thanks Justin. 

In the pre-market information e.g. GappersWatchlist, there is a column called "Vol today". What does it mean and where does the number come from ?

Thanks.

[Pre-market and After-hour trade]

Hi,

I am new and still learning about Day Trading. Can we monitor pre-market and after-hour trades in real time ? Thanks.
