Stock Market
I’m curious about your experience’s between then and now regarding how different the market reacts with so many non institutional investors in the mix?
Crackedback filled in mosta the newer stuff, and options work for many.
I'm a chartist, and my style is "scalping".
I had a basket of familiar stocks that'd move big daily.
I'd scalp 25¢ off anything moving times 1000 shares = $250 less $30 each way to the broker, X 4 daily.
My time began when trading was done in 1/16 of a dollar, no dollars and cents, traded in "teenies" no decimals !
Try figuring how many shares you can buy in 1/16ths, lol
Was gunslinger style, against other traders with "instant execution" platforms. Dial up was most internet, I had a T1? Line brought in.
Each broker had a Market Maker to control price, when he went to lunch could be very lucrative.
I lost $10kish 3 times before I found a place to really "learn" link below.
That was old style, like me, - my version of "skeet" every morning. Still is come to think of it .lol
If you really want to learn, try here, they had a free trial period.
Lotta really great people, lotsa trading styles.
Gotta admit, haven't been there in a few years, I may be in one of the convention pix in Vegas or NY.
