Day Trading
Convert Market Volatility Into Profits by Day Trading
Day Trading is a term which is used for trading stocks, futures, currencies, and options. Day Trading involves buying as well as selling these financial instruments within the same day of trade, i.e., no positions are held open overnight or carried over to the following day trading . All open trades are closed and settled each day.
Initially Day Trading was restricted to professional investors and executives of large financial institutions because of their exclusive accessibility to the stock exchanges and market data. However, with the advent of the Internet, individual traders now have access to the exchanges and live market data. This allows anyone to participate in trading virtually any market you can imagine – generally at very low cost.
Day Trading can come in many different styles, but the two primary styles are considered either Short Term or Long Term. Within each of these styles a Day Trader can select to trade with the trend, trade against the trend (also known as counter-trend trading), or trade “ranges.” The market is said to be in a trading range when prices remain within a relatively narrow price area. On a chart the bars appear to be moving sideways rather than moving upwards or downwards.
In Short Term trading, positions are held for only a few seconds or a few minutes. With the increased power and speed of more recent computer processors, trades may only be held a few-thousandths of a second! Short Term Traders generally try to make profits on small, frequent price fluctuations, “scalping” a little profit out of these moves.
Long Term traders generally are not concerned with short-term price fluctuations. They generally have a specific price objective in mind and are willing to hold on to their trades for up to several hours each day, riding through those short-term price waves.
The style a trader selects to use when Day Trading depends on the individual trader’s patience, personality, profit objectives, available time, and comfort level. The number of trades that a Day Trader may take can be anywhere from 1 to a few to several hundred each day.
