Best Day Trading Software

Posts Tagged ‘volatility’

Hi,
I am thinking of investing beyond equities and want to try currency and copper. But first I want to do some dummy trades. Any suggestions on where to start (any book or site providing step by step instruction)? I want to have a real feel with the margin requirements, volatility, etc.

I have just started reading about investing a few days ago so I still have a long way to go. Currently, I’m reading Ben Graham’s "Intelligent Investor" and from what I’ve read so far, he’s adverse to speculative trading/day trading and he advocates long-term investing and looking at the value of a company rather than merely looking how its price fluctuates in the market. He cites many examples of speculative traders who incurred big losses in the long-run.

But then, I’ve been following this forum where a professional day trader talks about long-term investment being merely a propaganda. He is saying, to the best of my understanding, that we should take advantage of the volatility of the market and never ever buy-and-hold. And he seems to be very knowledgeable in this area and he’s making big profits out of it. I’ve also read a couple of articles saying that buy-and-hold is a myth and we should always do something about the market trends. But these are the very things that Graham warned the non-professional investor about.

Now, I don’t know what to believe. I don’t know if I will have the answers after finishing Graham’s book. :[

I’d like to trade options on some some ETFs; QQQQ, DIA, SPY, IWM. I’d like to stay focused on a few stocks and trade when they move. I’d prefer not to trade on news; just the technicals.
I use options so that I do not have to risk that much cash(5K) but willing to take the volatility of options.
What indicators and what confirmations should be used to make 1 day-trade per day? .03 - .06 per trade would be fine trading 40-80 contracts.
I currentl use QuoteTracker software using EMAs and WMAs, MO, TRIX and RSI as indicators.
I just can’t seem to get very successful using my settings.
What have you successfully used? What should I be using and what should I be looking for?

Dan

Would this be considered a safe goal to gain 2 percent profits from trades? I research stocks that doesn’t have much volatility.

Say a stock is trading at 17.80 and the High/low is around 18.50/17.20. To make 2 percent out of the current stock, I need to gain 35 cents. The risk I’m willing to take is 5 percent which is 88 cents which I will sell no matter what. So at 17.80, the stock would have to plunge to 16.92 before forcing to sell. Chances are I will see a 35 cent gain before a 88 cent dip. I know the profits is a lot lower, but the percentages is not against me.

Will this work with stocks that are stable at the moment? 2 percent gains happens very often in high volume stocks and 5 percent drops happen a lot less often with stable stocks.

What do you think? For example. Citibank is a good example. If you look at the chart for the past 2 days, you will see that it hits 2 percent a lot and there wasn’t any 5 percent drops if you bought it at the middle of the high/low price.

If there’s any chance that I took a 5 percent loss, Im done for the day and I’ll try again tomorrow. I think discipline is really the biggest key. I’m not looking to triple up my capital in a week..
