I read an article before but couldnt remember the detail. can someone explain to me what is it? I only knew that if the stocks drop so many points (like today) during certain time of the trading day, the stock markets would put into halt. something like that.

To me, minimum is $30k. $150k to $200k is a good start. so much money? yes it is. you need software to consistently watch the market AND detecting the signal, subscribe to numerous newsletter and good monet management (such as stop losses, limiting profits etc).

you are not just investing here, but have a business operations to take care of. without proper tools, how can you expect to compete with all the professional traders worldwide? and on Daily Basis??

I just want to hear from serious investors what they think about day trading. I think that it is a bad idea? What are your thoughts? No I don't want to visit any websites to make money for all of the bots that seem to rule this section.
I do think it is a bad idea, but I was wondering what other people thought.

So you've been short term trading a highly speculative market and losing your pants. Now you want a risk free method to trade this market? Are you seeing an issue?

Definitions time folks:

Savings – reserve funds invested in a safe vehicle to protect ones assets and receive a small return in exchange for giving up current purchasing power.

Investing – putting capital at calculated risk in order to achieve higher returns.

Trading – Speculating on short term movements of securities prices, involves high levels of personal risks but provides benefits of providing extra liquidity & effecientacy to securities market.

Now professional traders, a) have the financial ability to withstand prolonged periods of losses, b) understand there is no "perfect" method, and c) even if they had found something even bordering on effective, wouldn't distribute it freely as it would dilute the efficacy of their method (And with the current state of the mortgage markets we're learning just how falliable even those "propietary" methods can be).

Sounds like you need to back up. Start building your savings, then your investments. After that, if you must, you can start a trading account. But, honestly I've made far more in two years of investing, than I did in 10 years of trading. (Simple math lesson one, if a stock drops 50%, from that point it has to go up 100% for you to break even — meaning minimize your loses is more vital than maximizing your gains).

The company I invested into ($1500) has yearly revenue of about 10 million dollars. However, when I bought my 1300 shares I didn't know what volume meant! So after the stock market closed I looked at the stock I bought. I looked at the volume. It was 1300! I put two and two together and realized I might have made a very poor investment! About 6 days ago it was trading for $1.80 and I bought it at $1.15 and right now it is $1.10.

Low volume does not mean poor investment. Just means its not on people radar. There are alot of things to take into consideration like how many shares or outstading or in the float. If there are very few shares then it will not take alot to move the stock up or down. A stock could go up or down 20% on as few as 100 shares traded depending on the size of the float. Also what does the chart look like? Has it been flat for 2 years or is there alot of movement?

Day Trading refers to the practice of buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day such that all positions will usually (not necessarily always) be closed before the market close of the trading day. Traders that participate in day trading are called day traders

Some of the more commonly day-traded financial instruments are stocks,stock options, currencies and a host of futures contracts such as equity index futures, interest rate futures, and commodity futures.

Day trading used to be the preserve of financial firms and professional investors and speculators. Many day traders are bank or investment firms employees working as specialists in equity investment and fund management. However, day trading has become increasingly popular among casual traders due to advances in technology, changes in legislation, and the popularity of the Internet.

I popular methods are to use the full stocastic, RSI, and MACD. These methods essentually tend to show when a stock is over bought and over sold. I can not go into all the details of how to use them here, but I will provide you with a link where you can learn about them.

For those who have been using bmo investorline to trade stocks…if iw ant to day trade or swing trade..and when i sell a stock when will the money tht i make trading be in my investor line account sot hat i can start doing another trade?
Day trading


I do the occasional day trade in my td waterhouse account. I keep enough cash in the account to cover my trades, so they don't have a problem with the day trades.
My firm are beginning to make use of technical analysis for trading purposes, and the MACD is one of them. The thing is, the default exponential moving averages (EMA) are 12- and 26-day, which doesn't work for all the stocks I cover. My main questions are, why are 12- and 26-days the defaults, and also, how do you decide which trading day EMA to use when the defaults don't work for a particular stock?

Thanks!!
