Day Trading Investing Stocks I Need Two Or Three Proven Strategies?

By admin · May 24, 2010 · Filed in Day Trading Strategies · 6 Comments »

Hi

I have been Daytrading the Nasdaq, Amex, Nyse, BB and PK stocks using Etrades level 2 software. I have had success trading news stories, earnings Good/bad, Share Buybacks, gaps up and down, buyouts and FDA news approvals and non approved.

I have read dozens of books and been on courses regarding day Trading but the best trades I have made I have figured out myself. I Am Looking for more specific Individual ideas that others may have found successful.

For instance I watch the news feeds all day looking for key words in news that will trigger a price move or I’ll spot a loser and follow it for 2-3 days till it’s almost dead and then buy it as it bounces back, another good one is following the top 10 risers of the day till 10.10 am and then buy one that carries on it’s rise. So anybody got any Good Individual ideas I will appreciate it.

What I’d like to know is for when the time comes tomorrow to put in real money, what would be a recommended number of times I place a trade every day I trade forex to make small consistent profits? Good answers would be much appreciated. Thanks.


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

By admin · May 22, 2010 · Filed in Day Trading Strategies · 6 Comments »

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!
