That brings me to a couple questions:
How does the PTD rule apply to options trading?
How am I supposed to learn how to trade from paper trading if I don't have any other option but from a mobile device? I am 24, and very tech savvy if that helps. Otherwise I work Mon-Thurs 730-530 and Fri 730-1. So really that gives me a roughly 3 hour window on Friday when I can trade papers from my laptop. I don't see that being enough to get experience in this lifetime lol.
With that being said, I am very proud of how far I've come literally in the past two weeks. I started out with piss poor advice from much older coworkers (lost money on a pink sheet trade where if I had done ANY DD whatsoever I could have easily seen the scam) and in the past two weeks or so I've started a book on Technical Analysis, a book on trends, and have two other books on standby. In addition I've learned a lot about how people lose money in the penny world and how people make money off it knowing it's all a scam by playing that angle. I'm an engineer by trade, and technical analysis feels like an extension of my own thoughts.
I don't see any reason why I can't make money off stocks. I have the right mindset, the tools to learn the knowledge. I went to the hardest military school in the country, got the hardest degree they offer, and I have extreme determination resilience and discipline. I can void emotion in trades without trying at all.
Anyway, I know that's a long post to ask a couple questions but I am going to stick around this board so it's also an introduction about me.
