Is not to hard to use? I am going to trade maybe 2 or three hours a day, with a couple times all day. This is not going to be my profession, so an easy to use system would be best. I am just trying to practice with not to big of a bankroll to test out my skills! Thanks.

First, to day trade stocks, brokerages will require a minimum account size of at least $25,000. Also, it's a risky game — very few people succeed at it. Those that do have generally become highly skilled at longer-term trading (position trading over several weeks, months or years or "swing trading" over days or weeks) before attempting day trading. There is no software you can use to make your decisions — that is totally up to you. It requires a great deal of experience (I would say, many years) to become a successful day trader.

I'm not sure if I understand your question….
Are you asking if its possible to have a career in day trading?
Sure, you can be a stock broker…
Or
Are you asking, if you can make a living (support yourself), by trading stocks.
In this case, I would say probably not.
Even professionals that have spent their lives studying the stock market have trouble predicting changes. What hope does that give to an average person? Furthermore stocks are meant to perform well in the 'long run' and not from day-to-day.
I suppose its possible to make constant gain if you index the 'entire market', however it probably won't be enough to let you quit your day job.
I see on share builder you can buy stocks for like $4

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 would actually say it is far better to day trade options than the underlying stock, for various important technical reasons.

www.optionetics.com is thorough, but expensive.

I'm always hearing stories about people who make a living by trading stocks. I am sick of working all damn day and not making the kind of money I want. I would like to just make money in my underwear on my computer, buying and selling stocks.

I have a friend that really trading stock for living. but bare in mind, trading is not the same as investing where you can still make money even when you asleep.

trading need a lot of commitment to continuously update with the market trend. it sometimes difficult for you to sleep well, thinking what tomorrow's market has to offer. if you can't take the heat, you'll can get distracted easily and lose focus on your own trading plan.

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.

Be aware that 90% of day-traders lose money. The odds are way against you. I recommend trying swing-trading (a few days to a few months time frame) first. The pressure is less and the timing not so quick. The exact same principles that apply to swing trading will prepare you for trading on shorter time frames. Or … you might decide you were making enough money in swing trading to stick with it.

As for sources, check with your brokerage. Many of them make learning tools available to their clients.

Best of success.

Any help would be apprciated !

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.

Okay, I'm sort of new to trading stocks, but now quite. I currently trade through Sharebuilder, even though I'm beginning to not like them so much. A lot of "fine print", if you know what I mean. Anyways, here's my problem:

I bought a stock, 5,000 shares at .09 cents. I meant to buy at .05 cents, and that's what my confirmation said before I placed the order, but I didn't realize that the quote of the stocks are 20 mins delayed. Sharebuilder doesn't offer actual real-time quotes, imagine that. Anyways, my account ended up a couple of hundred dollars short, mainly because it still processed as 5,000 shares at $0.09. Anyways, I put a limit order in to sell all of the shares when they hit $.010, low and behold, it hit 0.10 today, but my shares haven't been sold. Called SB, and they said for large orders, it could take a couple of days over a few different trades, and that I would be charged $11.95 for each trade.

Is there a better place or way to do these types of trades? Thanks!

In every market transaction there's a buyer and a seller. Just because at some point today there was a buyer at that price doesn't mean that there's currently someone that wants to buy (your) shares at that price. Also, when or if someone does decide that they want to buy your shares at .10, they won't necessarily want 5,000 shares. You could set your shares to sell all or nothing, meaning that unless someone wants 5,000 shares the trade will not execute. The advantage of course is that you don't get hacked to death with commissions. The disadvantage is if someone wants 4,999 shares your trade won't execute. With all of that said, penny stocks are a very dangerous game which I would STRONGLY advise against. If you want to gamble with cheap securities, learn a little bit about options and start trading out of the money calls and puts on companies you like and don't like respectively. Hope that helped.

One other thing, I use scottrade and am very happy with them.
