Day trading


For day trading commodity market is best they are not suitable for long term strategy.

if you desire stock market (even Indian Stocks) you should go with technical analysis (search engines like Yahoo, Google, MSN give you link to may sites) – it is like swimming in sea shore.

Hey people,

I haven't touched stocks in maybe 10 years and I want to get into day trading sometime soon. I want to start off slow and low to get the hang of things and I was wondering if anyone has recommendations or tips for how/where to start? Preferably a place with low commission of course, I remember that much at least : P

Links would help the most. All tips and advice are appreciated!

Sincerely,
Jason H.

Some of the major trading websites offers initial 30 day or first 20 trades free….you can choose them and see how the service with them goes….I am sure you will find one of them better…good luck :)
Is there a website that I can learn from?

The others advice is pretty good, but with the day trading, you shouldn’t day trade unless you have a few million in the market. Most of the people that day trade for a living; they are on leverage up to 1000 to one. So every dollar they “personally” have in the market, the company they work for gives them 999 dollars to trade. Then in turn take a percent of any profit, and if the person loses any of the money, they will need to pay it back. The reason you need so much money is because they “make there own market” in stock. What I mean is, they have so much money in a stock, they can change the price of it by a penny or two when they trade. A penny or two, over 1000’s of shares, many times a day….adds up very fast, and that is how they make money.
I want to use 1 monitor for the order platform and the other two for my charting spreads. My local Circuit city just cant give me any insight on how to accomplish this. Thank you very much in advance for your help….I owe ya one ;- )

Good luck with your trading, man.

I am a finance student and have experience trading stocks and forex casually for fun, but would like to pick one to spend more time trading… Has anyone had success with either one? I know the obviouse pro's and cons of both, but I am probably overlooking some major ones… Does anyone know which one would be better for sitting in and trading a few days a week?

I am trading stocks (swing trading). I am using AmeriTrade, and I am using technical analysis to trade. When I loose money it's mostly becuase the whole market is down (caused by some bad news, etc). I realize now that I need to be watching the news more aggresively. I might decide to get out before any major news hit.
How can I get info about major "upcoming" economic news. Like govermnet reportings, and the like (in one single place). It seems like every other day there is some news poping up. Which web site is the best, in your opinion, in reporting this kind of stuff? Thanks

Stops aren't working? are they in the right places?
and you're not hedged with options, I take it.

***
with the current capability of computers, browsers and broadband, why limit yourself to only one news site?

you can have multiple such sites open in multiple browser tabs or multiple browsers.

look for the upcoming news/events list in places such as
money.cnn.com
yahoo finance
your TDAmeriTrade brokerage site

and/or any subscription services you get such as
investors.com
wall street journal online
bloomberg news
etc.

What is demat account? – this question as been answered many times at yahoo. However, i have some more ques to ask:

1) I understand that Demat account is controlled by ndsl / cdsl through their agents (DPs) and holds shares in electronic form. But what is Trading accoun, its structure and function? Who opens and control this account? Is it the broker?

2) Other than the opening charges of demat a/c, are their more charges such as maintenance of demat a/c or other hidden costs. NDSL site gives the details of many DPs with their fees etc in table format (which is difficult to understand). What i thought actually was that i had to pay only broker charges+service tax, when i deal with share market. What may be other hidden costs?

3) What are brokrage charges for intra-day and dilevery that can be considered good enough?

4) How vulnerable is share market (specially intra-day) to the market games/manipulations by some experts or parties having big amounts or many computer terminal
Guys, If you cant answer all the parts of my question, you are free to answer portion of it as well.!

The key to investing as a beginner is investing in safe companies that beat earnings estimates (i.e. surprise investors with better than expected profit for each financial quarter). Also, when one starts to invest, I certainly suggest diversifying your investments.

A model portfolio of winning stocks would look like this:
1. Financial Stock: Goldman Sachs
2. Energy Stock: General Electric
3. Biomedical Stock: Teva Pharmaceutical
4. Technology Stock: Google
5. Retail/Consumer Stock: Coldwater Creek \

This is just my opinion about how to begin investing in a conservative, winning way.

Here is also the link to a great website that is very comprehensive in teaching novices how to invest:

The key to day trading successfully is to pick a single stock, that has some volatility, and then learn everything about the stock. Watch it for a few months, and get a feel for the stocks price movements. I have had some success trading ADDL.ob, but any volatile stock can be daytraded.
