QUOTE(danmooncake @ Sep 3 2009, 01:01 PM) TD Ameritrade.  Read that you stop loss at 1 point. It seems like you buy fast..sell fast. day trader. Isn't it incurred alot of brokerage fees if you do it everyday. Or you invest big sum, once up. you sell ..and the brokerage fees to you is nothing huh? lol In NYSE can ride on the bear right? |

QUOTE(zamans98 @ Sep 15 2009, 10:09 PM) holy cow. Just came back from dinner and C -0.21? Duh! Didn't see the news. Anyway, cannot short C right now, MB trading close the option. why they close the option for shorting? Is it this means there is a higher chance for Citi to go down south right? |

QUOTE(danmooncake @ Sep 17 2009, 12:27 AM) My dip buy of 200 FAS @ 78 yesterday is kicking ass today!! I'm pulling the stop sell trigger if it drops below $85 to protect profits otherwise I'll let this crazy market ride and see where it can take it.  200 shares of FAS @ 78.00 ??? that would be like 40-50k already. Woo. Big shark  |

Is there any broker that I can use Paypal to fund? I saw a blog mentioning etradem but was an old post. Can't seem to find any.
Added on September 21, 2009, 9:39 pmQUOTE(danmooncake @ Sep 21 2009, 09:19 PM) No shares available.. but shorted FAS 85. Good move huh. It is going down... 
Added on September 21, 2009, 9:42 pmDanmooncake, you short FAS at 85. 100 shares also cost a bomb. Not to mention the exchange rate. hmm. This post has been edited by dannyooi_84: Sep 21 2009, 09:42 PM |

QUOTE(danmooncake @ Sep 21 2009, 10:02 PM) I'm not buying..I' short sell, doesn't cost me thing yet and I don't care about exchange rate. To me RM1 = 1USD. Just think like this. Otherwise you can't trade. I know you shorted it. You use margin to trade? |

sifu danmooncake and zamans can help you. I'm still a newbie and learning it step by step. you can google some stuffs and read it up. high volatility in US markets, so chances of losing also quite high.  This post has been edited by dannyooi_84: Sep 25 2009, 03:28 PM |

Read in this forum that the brokerage fees is darn expensive. Preferably to use US broker if you want to trade the US market. I'm sure the sifus can teach you a thing or two. so far the cheapest us broker will sogotrade, at 4.95 per trade IINM.. I don't have the much spare $$ to open a acct with the US broker. what to do.. anyway, i'm playing the US stock game ... |

QUOTE(mrPOTATO @ Sep 25 2009, 05:53 PM) Hmm.. mayb thats why the charges are not on the website. I called them just now. Its - RM20 per transaction + a) 0.42%/HK$150 for hk bourse b) 0.4%/USD$25 for us bourse  I'm just worried about the technalities & hassles of opening a us account. Somehow it feels safer with everything in malaysia. I dunno .. maybe i need to do some more reading up. Hey, u said you are not opening US broker a/c but playing the US stock, how do u do it ? I playing a stock market game. not the real deal though  |
