    That sounds like swing or momo (momentum) trading.. which is a kinda how I got started way back when when I was trading things like WPRT. For some reason I can't stay away from natgas stocks. Anyways, watching the weeklies is a good idea for medium term investing (a few months to a year). For that, I would recommend WeBull or Fidelity. Fidelity only because you can do fractional trading. Don't even bother with Robinhood, they are total trash. Fidelity's UI is super basic, but WeBull is super detailed. Even as a moderately experienced 'trader', it took me a bit to ingest all that WeBull had to offer and to get it set up the way I liked. Even so, it's a bit clunky. Fidelity is a little clunky too, but much more straightforward.

    As for charting, you can use WeBull for that and it's great for that. You can have multiple charts on the screen. You can see what kinds of order sizes are going in and out. Another alternative is TradingView. I prefer TradingView for looking at one stock on the screen at a time, mostly because I'm more used to it than WeBull but also because it feels a bit more streamlined.

    Here is what my view in TradingView looks like. As you can see, you can draw lines and whatnot on them, and see what the performance was for each of your lines. You can do the same on WeBull but I haven't played around much with it.

    Here are a few of the views WeBull offers. You can also curate each tab to whatever you want. The right side has some small tabs, you can click through those and adjust them as you see fit. There are TONS of options for this UI. Like I said, takes a bit of getting used to, but it is FAR more robust than Robinhood's shit is.

    yeah it's a lot. If I were you, I would start with Fidelity and take advantage of the fractional share trading. Set up a TradingView account and start getting used to all of the little details that stock charts have to offer. Then if you decide to get a WeBull account, you will understand what you're looking at. Then the only part to learn is just getting the UI set up the way you like. I still tweak mine every now and then.

    I’ve never invested in airlines and don’t plan to tomorrow. BUT if I was going to, it would be with JETS. Airlines are super volatile at least JETS is a safer investment. That said if it’s Monopoly money and not a long term investment.... go with whatever you want really.

    NRGU should hit below $4.3 today.

    Crude has dipped a bit.

    It's even better when you're trying to decide to close options at a 56% loss of -$758...or just say fuck it let it ride...and put it all on 13 Black...

    MITI has rumblings of dilution, so I'm avoiding that right now. I have a low bid in on RMEDF, so if it hits or doesn't, I'm ok with it.

    I'm on multiple conference calls weekly, with one of their divisions and no one is even hinting at that.

    :notsure:

    welcome to delusion. Or old age. Whatever you want to go with.

    most companies are training their people not to hint at things or not talk about lay offs and reductions of force etc. for the appearance that they’re strong through this. Like we all know it guys....

    I don’t foresee BA going bankrupt. If they do it’ll be the biggest load of horse shit in recent economics.

    We're in the process of modifying aircraft and building new ones, so my confidence is pretty high.

    there’s like eight thousand different balances. You want to see funds available for trading.
