How does trading stocks online (scottrade) work?


 Powered by Max Banner Ads 

I’m totally new to this…and planning to start out small of course. So far all I really know is to buy the stocks when they are low..and then when they rise you sell them. Ok, you are going to laugh..but again I am new and learning. When you "sell" the stocks does someone have to buy them? Or does it work like this: 2 weeks ago you bought 30 shares at 5.40 each. Today 2 weeks later they are at 7.13..So I can make a good beginner profit..so I click a button that says sell/trade and within a few minutes I have now made a profit of .90 (7.13-5.40=1.73…. 1.73X30=.90)…is that how it works? Or does someone have to buy them? When they say trade stocks they are not talking about trading a stock for a stock…right? they mean stock for money..lol again I am new! Thanks! =)

Online brokerages why wait for funds to be processed?

How come you have to wait a few days before you can sell a security you just bought and buy with proceeds from a security you just sold?

Is this a government regulation or common among brokerages.

The traders I hear about and see execute hundreds of trades per day and buy and sell every few minutes and they have online brokers too. Is it because they have day trading or margin accounts?

How do I gauge how many shares of a stock I can purchase or sell without effecting it's price?

For example, say we have a security with price & avg daily vol of 1m share. That’s m a day infused into the stock divided by 390 (the # of minutes in a trading day) that’s about ,200 a minute that changes hand in that stock. If I see a trading opportunity and want to buy 0,000 worth of stock that minute how will that affect the price? Is there a factor like 2X, 3X, 4X, etc that I can use to know how much more (or less) than the normal 1 minute dollar flow I can successfully trade. Also, I use limit orders so I can’t just put in a market order and accumulate shares over a few minutes until I’m filled. This is a day trading strategy so price is very important to me and often times I need to get filled that minute.

Thanks for the help!
