Good morning Nate, are you able to guide me in re selecting forex or commodities to invest in the market. I have Ninja but haven’t use is in a while. In your video you have a video about 5 tools to find stocks, I will click right now.
Please show how to sell, the stock.
WHERE I CAN KNOW IF THERE IS STOCKS TO BORROW??? THE PLATFORM HAS A BORROW FINDER OR SOMETHING??
Excuse me sir but PLEASE SLOW DOWN WHEN EXPLAINING?? IT’S VERY ANNOYING WHEN A LOT OF YOU SCOLARS SPEAK WAY TOO FAST…DO YOU KNOW THAT IT’S VERY HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOUR SAYING OR REFERRING TO ESPECIALLY WITH DOING OR NAVIGATING STOCK TRADING ON THESE PLATFORMS WHICH CAN BE CONFUSING? SLOW DOWN!! PLEEEASE???
do you know is there possible to open “cash”account , or only “margin”account ?
Is there a low commission brokerage you would recommend for an active trader? ToS is ok except for the time it takes to place and order, and then the wait for it to actually fill.
ayeee super useful video, 2016 coming to an end!
don’t you think 9.95 is too much ?
this is SOOOOOOOOOOO not on a beginner level..you dont explain WHAT these tabs mean or where to find basic functions. very misleading title of the video.
Hi. How do you close and order that you just bought? You say to do the opposite but I can’t tell if I closed what I bought or I executed another separate transaction and shorted the stock?
How do I get % to show up in the data box? I want to draw a line to see the % move from point A to point B.
Good one!
Please keep them coming…
Hey can anyone here tell me how large I need to make any given transaction
(be it Penny Stocks or otherwise) in order to make a reasonable margin with the
$9.99 commission fee by ToS. I assume that you are charged this fee each time you
buy and sell, so wouldn’t that mean that I need to make my gains exceed
$20 to even get into the green for any given transaction?
Hi there, I thought I sent you a message, and was telling you that I watched the video about charts, but takes me back to the ad of five tools to find stock. I could stop the picks I get and learn some more. And also feel like trying real trading at TOS. maybe I should get the claytrader.com for awhile and learn more about pics but I also need to learn how to trade on TOS. Thanks
Hello good basic explenation!
I was wondering how to sell that same stock if I just bought it like you just showed, or if I could set a buy limit and stop(take profit) at the same time?
So for example on the chart you see 2 prices to slide or change(edit), one buy(green) and one sell(red).
And if I change the order to stop in the order entry window what are the STD, BID, and Mark options?
Could you be so kind to make a video on the subject, I know there is a description in the order rules window but you explained it very good in this video. I think you could help allot of people with such a video.
Thank you
TD Ameritrade is pathetic..I swear they run their website off a Commodore 64 . Their Tech support does not have a clue.
We had one of their “salesmen” call my wife at work (Pathetic) trying to get her to open a 401K with them.
Also when the market was taking a huge dip..their website went down (way to be there in critical times AMTD) and when I called to inform the tech…he was clueless.
Google Ameritrade sucks….
Wait !! they have gotten even more Pathetic…Scum just like their CEO imho.
ciao guys! for example if i buy a stock at 2$, and i want to sell it at 3$ but i want to have my stop at 1$, how do i manage this in TOS??? i don’t know how to place such an order….i want a limit order to sell at a certain price, but i also want a stop order at the same time at a certain price
Hi Clay, thanks for all of the free information. I have a very specific request. I am new to day trading and having serious difficulty wrapping my head around the market, stop, limit, and stop-limit types of orders. None of the videos I’ve seen help me understand it. Plus, I have yet to see an actual real life example of each type of transaction. Could you make a video like this (with real life scenario, “And right here, we’ll execute a sell stop order for such and such reason….”) or provide one? Thanks.
How long does it take for a stock to buy? When it says being filled, I thought you could just buy one, be approved then sell for profit so does it take a day or 2 to buy or just a couple of minutes ?
I’ll be taking whatever I want……..
Hi Clay, very good but at times it looked a bit blurry, but thanks. I’m new to this, and want to learn dow to trade. I pay for pics and missed the NS last week, I would made some money. I will review your video over again. to me personally was just a bit fast. but great
Hello ,
First time ,I want to ask a dumb question Im new to this.
Can I Future trade as a Day trader?
I just opened an account with TD Ameritrade yesterday. First time investing, and I have a question:
I want to purchase 100 shares of a specific company. What is my “buying power”, and how can a “Limit” assist me? I hoping this specific investment will rise $10 dollars in the upcoming months, but I’m not sure how to properly use the “Market/Limit” tabs.
Please and Thank you!!!
Hello Nate, great videos. They helped me learned a lot. I am a complete beginner as a trader. I made a few trades and noticed that there is a buying power effect that comes out when i make a trade. What is the buying power effect? When I sell does it deduct the buying power effect again or credit to my account when i sell?
When you cancel an order are you still charged the commission fee?
I realize this is paper money but after you made your initial limit order for AAPL and you showed how you can change the order by simply dragging the visual order from the charts menu, were you then charged the commission price again ? Like, each time you were to drag the order is it technically another order that is charged ? THANKS
Nice info! Thanks for sharing! Subscribed.
Once you place a order it says “working” but nothing ever happens? i was trying to use thinkorswim yesterday and I was just confused. Maybe you can make a video of the order actually going through? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Thanks for doin this, one question tho, on avg. how long does it take for a stock order to come in?
stupid question. i cant figure out how to add a stock to my watchlist. please help
How do u set a Stop Loss and Take profit for this platform
Wheres the “All or None” feature in this platform?
do you have a video for the following day after this video. say you had day orders and till cancel orders to see how they did and what’s happening now
how can I short a stock think or swim platform in paper account……?????
Tks Clay. One of the best Think or Swim tutorials by far
Is this the same when you’re actually trading for real with the think or swim platform?
Can we short a stock in this paper trading account
Etrade is much faster, specially if u use the hot keys
Thank you
