Day Trading
Congratulations! The
basic day trading training you have just undertaken will maximize
your chances of success. As we have repeatedly said, day trading
is a business like any other, and the reason why most businesses
fail is because of lack of preparation, not lack of capital. If
you have $750, discipline, the right tools (such as the
) and the will to succeed you can do it. You certainly don't need
brains! Ask any floor trader! ("Er youse what?") It IS
hard work, but then again the rewards of day trading can be immense.
To sum up, before you start day trading you must know some important
day trading basics, you need to use a direct-access broker or spread
betting account to obtain the best fills, you need to understand
concepts like the "bid" and "ask", order types (market, limit, and
stop orders) and you must also get a grip on advanced trading concepts
like Level II, Electronic Communication Networks (ECNs), the role
of market makers, benefits of order routing and technical analysis
(Support! Resistance!). Once you have opened your account, you can
try paper trading with the trading software in simulator mode until
you are ready to try it for real. At this point, we can only say...
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR DAY TRADING!!!
