Trading is not an easy road to wealth. There are plenty of statistics to say that most people who go down it fail (90%+). I'm not going to say how much I make per week, but I will say I'm in the 10% (or less) who have succeeded. To me, you need two things to succeed in trading. #1 is a curiousity of how things work. Most good traders will tell you that "systems" are constantly breaking down (i.e., what works today won't necessarily work tomorrow). If you are going to be a successful trader, you are going to be constantly doing research for new things that work. If you don't enjoy the process of researching new ideas, I think you are doomed from the start. #2, you've got to be willing to learn how to handle emotions. Things are going to go against you, and at least in my experience, humans are wired to want to get away from the pain of a trade going against you. How you deal with these moments will define a lot of how successful you are going to be trading. Make a long story short…if you are looking for an easy road to wealth…this isn't it. If you like the game, and can't learn enough about it…then you will eventually find a way to succeed.
If anybody has ever read any of my posts on real estate, I consider myself a fairly savvy real estate investor. However, I have heard about and want to learn about day trading in stocks. I have an idea on what it is but has anyone done it here and done well? (Or at least not lose their shirts?) Also, if you have done well, what did you do or what skills did you learn in order to be successful? Thanks in advance.

PS. Is this also a good way to make money or is it a waste of time and money?
Listen Max H, you shouldn't talk to your father like that or I might stop my child support payments. Tell your mom to have my kidney pies ready when I go see her or I might have to keep my pimp hand strong…. ya dig?

Day trading, basically, is profiting from small differences (and sometimes big ones) in the prices of stocks etc. on one day (sometimes 2 or 3 days). It requires experience, a lot of knowledge and constant up-keeping your information. It's taking constant working if you want to do it right, not only a couple of hours per day. It's not for the faint hearted and not suitable as a fast money maker. It can be profitable though, as I know having a staff of good people now that make my trading lighter (so that I don't have to do everything myself anymore). It took me over 20 years to get to the level I'm now. If you really want to do it, start small and/or with a practice account, read a lot of papers (not only one), follow and take in all the news you can find and read some materials and books about the different parts of trading (e.g. technical analysis, trading-systems, product-info etc.).
I wish you good luck. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
I had a forex training account that used play money, but it expired after 30 days. I have looked at several others but they all expire after 30 days as well. I don't feel I am ready for a live account, does anyone know of a place that will allow a "play account" that is either not limited on time, or allows for longer than 30 days?

I had one with manfinancial (used to be called refco canada)for longer than 30 days… about 1 year ago. I don't know if they still do.
You could always open a new demo account after the 30 days is over and you can continue doing this forever with some brokers.

Here are a few basics:
- Concentrate on a few, liquid and volatile stocks only.
- Buy or sell intra day trends with at least 3:1 reward-risk ratios.
- Use mental stops placed under the last minimum (above the last maximum, when shorting) and stick to them.
- Use a decent money management scheme, write down the rules and stick to them.
- Develop a system, trade it on paper only for some time, before risking money.

Here are some more, that I found useful too:
- Don't trade the first and last half hour.
- Stop trading on a given day when you have reached a set target amount or when you have lost a fixed amount.
- No more than two ongoing trades at one time.
- Take breaks, it's a stressful activity

WOW. That is pretty impressive.

I'll tell you what ….tell me what the market will do next Tuesday and I will strongly consider your offer.

Think about Microsoft Corporation. They have like 9 billion shares. Each share is owned by someone. Some computer must keep track of who owns what or otherwise we wouldn't know who's the owner of the shares.

There are thousands of stocks and trillions of shares in existence, and theoretically, each share could have a single owner. During a regular business day, billions of shares change owners. Every single transaction (date, time, number of shares traded and the price) is recorded somewhere and broadcasted over the internet, so others can get
real-time quotes and historical quotes and charts for each stock…

Some kind of super computer must be working in the background to keep track of who owns what or else the stock market would not work. So, my question is where is all this information stored and what kind of computer is responsible for handling all this important data and making the stock market work? How is it possible for this huge system to work so smoothly? Explain plz.

Each Financial Institution.

If you have a brokerage account at Wells Fargo then they have your information.

You are right, there 9 billion shares of Microsoft in the Planet but Wells Fargo only handles 0.01% of them with a regular $999 Dell Personal Computer.

If you have a brokerage account at Bank of America then they will have your private information and the same case applies.

There are thousands of banks all over the World and each one of them has a few thousands of Microsoft shares.

When you sell your Microsoft share to me Wells Fargo reduces the number of shares in your brokerage account from 1 to 0 and it only takes a nanosecond.

In contrast, the number of shares of Microsoft increases in my brokerage account from 0 to 1 and it only takes a nanosecond.

There is a middle man between Wells Fargo (Your bank) and Zecco (My broker)

In this case, the middle man is the NASDAQ.

Background: Fundamentals, with an investing strategy out of the Graham playbook (by distressed, unloved or otherwise underpriced securities). Risk is minimized by having a margin of safety, higher upside than down, and by buying into companies that can be understood and predicted down the line.

However, finding a good opportunity tends to leave at least some cash floating around. Aside from dumping it into a placeholder stock like BRK.B, moneymarket, etc. I am interested in utilizing, to some small degree, daytrading.

Basically:
(1) How is risk managed in security day trading? Forex trading?

(2) Do the few successful traders operate by intuition or determinism?

(3) How wide of a scope to most traders take? Ten stocks? One hundred? All of them? Similarly, how wide of a scope do forex'ers employ?

(4) Is there a way to get a hold of raw market data, outside of the wacky software like eSignal, etc?

Please do not try and pitch a trading system. Thanks.

Once you are able to learn the basics of online trading, you won't need to ask for specific details like the ones you ask. You would know how to figure out the answers for yourself. And of course, be able to trade profitably on your own.

A Free Basic Hands-on Training is available at http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/currencytrader/.

I know a stock price is determined by supply and demand, but what I am actually asking is: Who monitors the supply and demand then sets the price accordingly? Is it done automatically by a computer system at the stock exchange market, or is there a person who monitors the daily action and then modifies the stock price manually during the day according to that? And if the stock price is modified each day by a person, does this person work directly for the company who issued the stock, or for the stock exchange who trades it? Also what about the bid/ask prices? Are they set by an automated system or by a person?

The NYSE is a bit more ancient. I don't know if they still use this system or not, but they have specialists for a given stock. More popular traded stocks may have multiple specialists, and a specialist might take a bunch of thinly traded stocks. Usually, brokers are the ones placing orders to the specialist and the specialist will match up the buyers and the sellers and take a cut. They might have gone electronic by now. The specialist works for the stock exchange and pays a large fee for a seat on the exchange.

The NASDAQ is a fully automated computer system. The tons of brokers instead of talking to the specialist just input their orders. The array of buy and sell orders form the bid/ask. When there's a match, the trade executes by computer.

I have been researching the net, and trying to find a good day trading system. There are so many ways I can go, and I'm overwhelmed. I have also been reading books on the subject, so I'm not totally clueless. I also know day trading styles are all different. I guess I'm just trying to find a proven trading system.
