Day trading is not an easy job and it takes a lot of time to perfect.
The bad thing is there are no short cuts or quick fixes to it, there are only solutions. Here are some trading do's that will help you find the right trading set up that will work for you.
Natalia Osorio Editor of the "Best Stock Trading" website -- http://www.BestStockTradingUsa.com -- pointed out;
"Always set a stop for your trades based on quantifiable information. Don't put your money at risk because someone said so. Refrain from becoming a news trader. Don't rely solely on the news while trading, imagine how much time it takes for the news to reach you. In fact in almost all cases you should trust the rumor more than the news.
Position only in those trades that you are familiar with. Never try to get into a trade that you have no substantial knowledge of. Each trade has its behavior, know this behavior first before you play with it"
Trading systems may not be consistent in all markets. Match the trading system with its respective market. What works in the down market may not work in the up market.
Identify the trend and take advantage of it. Remember that patterns are always there; only one trend will always be more dominant than the other. Enter a trade when it is starting to pick up or when it already has a trend but try to be discretionary in trades that are starting to lose their positive trends.
It will always be easier for you to enter a losing trade; however, it is a lot more dangerous than a winning trade.
Always chose the right timing. Compute for probabilities and analyze the market indicators but don't let analyses paralyze your actions.
News only goes as far as yesterday. It will only tell you things that have already happened but it's not a good predictor of what is going to happen. If you read this morning's paper, you are reading history.
As much as possible don't get into the trade late but get out of it early. These positions are usually the most expensive.
Get out of the trade while everyone else is still in. Don't be the last person to get out of it.
Go for one big move instead of few moves with very low returns.
"If you are losing trades days in a row, maybe all you need is a break. Try to put it off for a day.
Ride the momentum, if you are winning trades don't stop but don't push your trades too far or you might lose everything you have won. There are only two crucial questions in day trading- is the market going up or is it going down? Answering these questions will give you a better judgment on what actions to take"N. Osorio added.
Lastly, if everything else fails, sell.
