我在2010年九月底十月初在中国度假17天的时间,新浪ishare上有中文的TA资料,很幸运得到了启蒙。回美国后又自学并运用了options 。由于没有风险控制,有三次几天就loss了一两万。所以2012年不炒了,只hold. 2017年底hold xiv从六块涨到上百块,我有一千股,所以所有的loss都算打平了。可惜没卖(actually sold 400 shares in 8/2013 to cover all the cost, and held the left 600 shares to let the profit run),2018年2月xiv被挤兑回六块停盘。从这些血淋淋的教训学到了:
1. Start with paper trade. TDAmeritrade can open a paper trade account.
2. DCA ETFs such as SPY using no-fee brokers, such as Robinhood. It even allows you to buy fractions of a share. The disadvantage is that it only has mobile apps, no web version. 3. When opening a new account, always look for or negotiate rewards. Usually a new account can have 100 commission free trading or equivalent, and depending on your initial fund amount, you can get up to $600 reward by depositing $200k fund in the first 3 months.
1. My main account is Merrill Edge, because it allows me to trade stocks without commission fee since combined BofA account exceeds some threshold. Selling ETFs has some trivial fee: 0.07 cents for 100 shares of TNA. It is normal commission fee is $6.95. The other most convenient feature is transferring fund between a BofA checking account and ME investment account is instant.
2. etrade and TdAmeritrade both have $6.95 commission fee.
3. My secondary account is etrade because it holds my unsold ESPPs. It is easy to transfer funds between a Stock Plan account and an individual account.
4. My third account is TdAmeritrade.
Why I hold several accounts even only ME is free most of the time?
1. I can apply various strategy at the same time, including long term/short term, long/short.
2. Different brokers have various limitation. My etrade account has the least options operation level. ME does not allow trading risky equities such as VXX, and does not allow writing cash secured puts. Only TdAmeritrade allows me to write cash secured puts.
Why this breakthrough makes me so excited to share?
A a mid-age coder, I have found myself hard to compete with bright young people (many are 20+ years younger) in the trade for energy level, time flexibility or mind speed/agility. The expectation is high when you got paid big packages, not matter it is one of FLAG or not. This worry and frustration had kept burning me out several times.
So I am happy that right after 6 months out of the trade, I have finally found one that fits my personality and life style. This does not come easily though. Because I started as early as 8/2009, on and off, and paid costly tuitions to the market.
Most TA books in OP are available in the bay area local public libraries, except “Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes” by Brian Shannon. Try "Link+" if you can't find it in your local library.
I am starting to read "Getting Started in Technical Analysis" is an ebook available online. Will update my notes along.

Actually if I didn't DT, my investment of last year were still under the water. Which one is riskier, being a pig or being a DT? I would say being a pig.
I agree with MMs that day trading is not for everyone. It is extremely risky.
I am seriously day trading because: - I don't work so I can dedicate all my time to monitor the realtime streaming charts. - I traded stocks since 8/2009, and got wipeout several times. I have learned from my stupid mistakes about managing risks. - I keep learning. I had spent 1.5 years actively learning DT and practicing.
Thanks but 买包买鞋买首饰追追剧养养娃??? I would rather die... 专业人士? 14 months ago I was hired to code a stock exchange...If I remember correctly, maybe a candidate for the 15th stock exchange in US, called LTSE.

Did you read my posts??? In my second one, I said: newbies just do DCA SPY, no DT!!! And risk management is super important!!!Besides, I do all directions, long, short, swing, why do you think I wish the stock just go up???
如何戒的呢?炒股... ***** 该内容需浏览者魅力高于50 才可浏览 ***** 经验是在有风险控制的前提下full load。风险管理包括持股过夜一定要有put option保护,day trade先用五千元试水,然后根据TA,该DCA的DCA,该逢低回补的可以谨慎用大金额打小波段,同时有mental stop loss(一般是几百块),该止损的止损。
看着帐户每天成千地绿,是中年危机的最佳解药!
祝大家快乐投资,幸福发财!
A MM asked for recommendation for TA books, here is Google search result (disclaimer: I don't remember if I have read them, but IMHO any book even web info is good to read):

可以paper trade先。
新手用DCA(比如401K就是一种DCA)。
我是之前有actively在工余学了一年半,12年6月停了,直到上周二才又开始的。不要学我DT,风险太大。我老公都被wipe out很多次了。 ---发自Huaren 官方 iOS APP
求教如何学的。大致描述就可以。我也刚开始学。
我能保证每天只loss几百元。 ---发自Huaren 官方 iOS APP
作DT,靠的是TA,看实时streaming的candle stick charts和各种indicators (SMA, volumes, MACD, bollinger bands, on balance volume, etc)

- 一定一定一定要风验控制
- DT是心理游戏
👍点赞! 说的非常真实!多谢分享!
非常可能。
但也可能只是下周短期回调。
我只有10%的仓位,包括370股,14个-10%股价put options,11个in the money call options,都是下周五到期。所以熊牛均不惧。
90%的现金DT,分五份做DCA, 绝不可能当猪。
🙏
好吧,如果DT,不负责任地推荐TNA,是小资本ETF IWM的3x.
新手就不要DT了。定投SPY,长期稳赚不赔。 ---发自Huaren 官方 iOS APP
谢谢mm, 只管大胆推荐, 每个人都有脑子, 能自己分析学习的。
加个好友呗, 以后多交流。

下周二应该volume很小,会反转。千万不可用上面的策略。也不适合长期持股的抄底,不建议新手操作。 ---发自Huaren 官方 iOS APP

I was an innocent and naive newbie slaughtered by the Wall Street years back. If I can DT successfully today, you can too!
$5000 is to start the initial position.
My account has way more than $25000.
学习
好好学习
But today the market is closed...
What will be your entry point? Market?
Is it for LT or DT? ---发自Huaren 官方 iOS APP

股市是碎钞机,新手跟风要谨慎
下单买书~
实战经验:只有1/18不成立。
TNA是daily mark到3xIWM. 所以闭市前市场应该是有缝隙的。
Rty is new to me. Thanks for the information!

Traders make money not matter the market is bear or bull.
Pigs get slaughtered. Don't be a pig.
Mark, thanks for sharing
I am a serious DT now. ***** 该内容需浏览者魅力高于200 才可浏览 *****
Mark again.
楼主你要不是来挖坑的,真心劝你都奔五了,一个赔不起的年纪,还居然敢DT。
开公司/做personal trainer are still on my list...
Don't know what you mean by 赔不起.
Not taking risk equals to being risky.
Re,不是上次说事业很成功现在要休息,准备生娃然后做pt事业?上次高楼就被拍了现在又是dt?挖坑吧
中年危机还有其他解决方法,可以不用赔钱的那种。我也想起来楼主了,确实是中年危机了,不烧点钱估计不会罢休的。
Whatever.
Don't see DT, being PT or founding a startup conflict with each other.
Actually if I didn't DT, my investment of last year were still under the water.
Which one is riskier, being a pig or being a DT? I would say being a pig.
非专业人士干点啥不比DT好。
因为你的investment time horizon要短很多,所以风险承受能力比起十几二十年前低

Disagree.十几二十年前I didn't have capital to invest. I started to work in 2006.
Thanks but 买包买鞋买首饰追追剧养养娃??? I would rather die...
专业人士? 14 months ago I was hired to code a stock exchange...If I remember correctly, maybe a candidate for the 15th stock exchange in US, called LTSE.
所以说你投资上是个外行,根本没见过金融危机,基本上入市是被割韭菜那类的。说得不好听的,多少大户也照样风光一时,没法风光一世。见的多了,就开始珍惜那每月定时到账的paycheck
你说的这些我公司的trader都有,比你强,该亏的朝阳亏
Did they code a stock exchange?
1 股市(包括期市汇市等)没有free lunch,如果有也很短暂会很快被资金填平
2 楼主发的这些都看了,很显然还不够资格说“DT一天顶全职一个月”这种耸人听闻的标题,“一天顶全职一个月”多长时间?每天吗,如果yes,你离世界首富已经很近
Agree.

I was in the market then.
那你一点教训没接受啊。又来鼓吹华人给你抬轿子去把。
Every is in the market, because every one has a retirement account, or their parents do!
I don't know why you are so arrogant, and what is 抬轿子.
Did you read my posts???

看了MM的操作记录,想说,有钱就是好。
但是还是想说,图形很凶险啊。
