I usted to day trade and i want to do again, im loking for any classes where i can improve my trades, i dont want any online classes i need any good school or any day traders who charge for given classes,,
Day trading


I'm not sure a class can teach you, I think you just have to learn through experience. The hardest thing to learn is to quickly get out of a losing stock and preserve your money and look for another opportunity. it sounds so easy but it is very hard to do because you always think you are going to make money and never lose money. but I'm getting much better at it. I made $350.00 today in just a few hours.
I'm very courious about that How many individuals are there stock trading online totally in US? how many online stock trades are there in average per day? How many broker-dealers are there in US? Where can I see the list of their names? I can't find the latest data released in 2006 or even 2005. That might be some problem with my searching skills. Can anybody help me? How many or at what address can I get the data? Please….
Day trading


There were 14.3 million online investors at the end of 2000, 17.4 million at the end of 2001 and 20.6 million at the of 2002. With these figures you can calculate your trendline, growing at 125% pace every five years. That would be over 35 million online traders today. The source is a book by David Hallerman.
How is the Bank of america Online investing tools? Has anyone tried?I was going to go with scott trade but I dont have to put as much up with Bank of America. Has anyone tried? I need something with live streams of real time data so I can see the ups and downs all day without having to refresh.
Day trading


I use Scottrade and love it! The stream from Scott works great. I don't know about BofA, but I suspect it's comparable. I'd think again about using Scottrade, they do one thing only and are very good at it. BofA does hundreds of things, some good, some not so good.
For example, how much are prices of stocks affected by institutions (e.g. funds) and how much by small personal traders. If they recommend a stock in a financial magazine (e.g., Kiplinger), will it affect its price significantly – individual traders wanting to buy it? How big volumes are "day traders" – 10%, 20% or 0.2%?
Day trading


Goldberg and Lupercio, two analysts of the online trading industry, estimated that about 40% of all trading volume comes from a group of 50,000 "semi-professional" traders who use the major online brokerage firms. The analysis was for the year 2003.

So a good guess would be 40%.

DIY?

Online trading has lowered commissions to the point where they are no longer the primary consideration. Ditto for good execution, if indeed they are Direct Access. If you decide later to trade commodities, options, futures, or currencies, TerraNova may be the only one that you can trade everything, real time, online, direct access. A lot of online brokerages claim to give you direct access, but if they take more than a second to execute your trade, it aint direct.

What you probably should be concentrating on is the best trading software or trading platform. But even then, everyone's criteria are different.

Find the articles online that have evaluated and compared online brokerages. I found a good one online in Barron's, but you'll find others in the trading magazines. Active Trader, Futures Mag, etc.

This is worth putting a little time and effort into, because it's a pain to switch, so once you choose, you're kinda stuck with it.

Townsend Electronics, the Parent company of TerraNova, is the one that digitized and electronified the Nasdaq. They are technological industry leaders and have a powerful and well built trading system.

I use RealTick at TerraNovaOnline, but it costs $275/mo. I think the Investor package is free to use, and just uses one screen.

What you should try is a free trial of their Investor platform, which is free. Their rates are good also, but of course, it depends on how often you trade. It will take you months to learn all the bells and whistles of what this program can do.

The other top-of-the line program is TradeStation, but it costs big bucks to join and operate. Some people consider it the Cadillac of trading and technical analysis.

TerraNova is the home of the Day Trader, so they think nothing of you making several hundred trades a day. You don't have to do that, but it's okay here if you do.

Day trading


First, try trading virtual money on a Simulator real time at Investopedia.com

Look into the Investor platform at TerraNovaOnline.com
I think this one is free if you open an account there. I use the full-blown package called RealTick for $250/mo. The Investor platform is the same software, sized down to one screen. I use five monitors. This is very technologically advanced softwarefrom Townsend Analytics, the one that digitized the entire Nasdaq last year. Cutting edge technology. If you make some money, then definately upgrade to RealTick.

I am 19 and want to learn about the stock market. I have done plenty of research but I need either an actual person teaching me or more hands on work. I am more interested in shorter term trading. Not necesarilly day trading but definitely not long term. Anyone have any ideas on where to find instructors or decent learning material. Thanks.

I am a finance senior.

First there are two books you should read. Way better than textbooks. The first is called "the math behind wall street".

http://www.amazon.com/Math-Behind-Wall-Street-Market/dp/1568581602/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-9307096-4545628?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177570772&sr=8-1

Then read this one;

http://www.amazon.com/Investing-Dummies-Business-Personal-Finance/dp/0764599038/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-9307096-4545628?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1177570661&sr=8-1

If you want to jump into it right away, the University of Arizona has a lot of good materials online. The books are better, but here is the link;

http://www.studyfinance.com/

Read the books. Read the Wall Street Journal every day, highlight the terms you don't understand & look them up online. Google the term "_____ definition".

Finally play the fantasy stock market. It is a cheap way to learn.

Here is that link.

http://www.investopedia.com/

And the guide.

http://simulator.investopedia.com/stock/game/

Buy a Hewlett Packard financial calculator ($40 bucks), & READ THE MANUAL.

If you do this and like it, I'd recommend finance as a major. Although it is pretty intense.

Very cool that you want to learn.

Good luck

I mean to trade in real-time and with flat fee.
Most brokers offer service by pohone or online servicee, but they still work with huge delay.
Is there way to trade as fast as brokers do through their market connectivities?
Any suggestion and links to corresponding financial institutions would be appreciated.

Actually, day traders MAY qualify to do that, but you have to be a certified investor, which means experience and plenty of cash to cover trades. What that essentially means is you have enough extra cash that the surplus cash is buying and when the trades clear that then becomes the surplus cash. Think of it as a different kind of "margin" that the government requires you keep to do this.
I.e. lowest fees, best graphs/info, etc
Day trading


I use interactivebrokers.com because they are by far the cheapest, but they are not nearly as user friendly as most. Optionsxpress has great tools, virtual trading and good learning items but your at 9.99 on both sides of the trade. Ive also heard good things about think or swim, schwab, and scottrade too. It all depends on how much hand holding you need in your trading.

Good luck
