How do you renegotiate your commission rate on TD Ameritrade and it’s platform ThinkOrSwim? Is this requested online or do you have to call in? Does it have a decent success rate? Im at the original .65.

BC was at $0.35. I used that data point to negotiate with Fidelity down to that level.

Good luck, JJ told me the Schwab merger had a lot of negotiation on hold. Obviously this only matters to TOS traders

Calling is the way to go. The BC SM did it, but he has a very large account and has been trading for a while. I don't know if there are requirements specifically, probably more case by case basis

Yes

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
