I would have made $5 profit, but would have to pay $58 ($29X2) for the TWO transactions I made? So I would have taken a loss at $53...
Is my logic right?
Is it really worth it to be trading it at $29 / transaction then? Or does daily- trading usually outweighs the costs??
Thanks

you need to change your broker and google is your friend on that.
Basically for transaction costs 29+, you can not afford to play with daily transactions unless you are going at the million level.
