We have tried to explain in the room about why we currently have the post the way we do. We all trade different size accounts. Let's look at my live trading account. I have about 28k in the account. If I take a trade on a stock that cost $400. I can only take say 36 shares of the stock while a co-host is on a paper account and takes 1000 shares of the same stock. The stock moves 10 cents. We could easily say look at this $100 trade we took. But in my account its only $3.60. So we decided to post the percent gain because that is the same across the board. | |
