Start Day Trading Now

Start Day Trading Now

(Adams Media)

Day trading, or intraday trading, is a method that works just like it sounds: you enter a trade involving one or more stocks (or another security) and exit the trade — which you’ve only held onto for seconds, minutes, or hours — by the end of the day. The plan is to make a trade and exit with a profit — the sooner the better — and still get a good night’s sleep.

Because uninformed traders have made mistakes in the past, many myths about day trading exist. In Start Day Trading Now, you’ll learn the truth about day trading, including how much money you’ll need to get started, how to choose a broker, set up a trading account, read charts, use technical indicators, place a trade, and manage your money and emotions. Interviews with professional traders are also included.

Most important, Sincere thoroughly explains the benefits as well as the risks of day trading. One of the goals is to teach you how to be a better trader. This will help you learn how to trade for a lifetime, and not for just one day.
