Yeah, it was online. Was using Interactive Brokers. Fees were $.005 or half a cent per share with $1 minimum. I was initially up, but ended up losing a good chunk and hit the limit I was willing to lose so I stopped. Come to think of it now, it was a pretty stupid idea since I had to get up at like 9am everyday since some of the biggest moves were in the first hour. After a couple months, it started to seem like having a job. I rather go to sleep when I feel like it and not have to set an alarm to wake up that early. I'm thinking of trading again with some of the money I put into my 401k, but do it more as longer term investing
