Stock Market Trading Strategies

• If you're just beginning to consider trading in
  the equity markets, stock trading strategies
  should be your number one priority. Stocks are
  excellent instruments if employed correctly to
  gain short term profits in the financial markets.
  One area where new participants fail is beginning
  without a well thought out plan or system
  designed to increase the odds of success. In
  others words, you must know what you are going to
  do before you ever place your first trade.
• Most people when starting out find one trade set
  up that works for them. They are comfortable with
  the set up and have the confidence to execute the
  trade whenever the market presents the set up. It
  is important to understand that your system must
  be applicable to your personality and risk
  tolerance. This is why in the beginning, it is
  crucial to find one pattern, chart formation or
  moving average combination which provides enough
  winning trades to outperform losing trades. Once
  you have built up your account you can begin
  experimenting with other set ups.

• Your chosen time frame is also another important
  factor to consider when choosing to go after
  short term profits. If your time is limited,
  swing trading may be the method needed. Swing
  traders profit from holding positions anywhere
  from a couple of days to a few weeks. This style
  is ideal for people that do not have the time to
  sit and watch the daily market session everyday.
  For others, day trading stocks is the best method
  if they have several hours each day to monitor
  stocks. Some choose only to trade the morning
  hours at the opening bell and go about the rest
  of their day as they please. Some only trade both
  the morning hours and afternoon hours, taking the
  New Your lunch off since things tend to slow down
  during this time period.
• Some choose to use a method called scalp trading,
  rapidly taking a point or two then exiting the
  position banking small profits. However, they are
  not open to as much exposure to market forces and
  losses are minimized since rules are strictly
  obeyed with this type of system. Whichever stock
  trading strategies you choose, it is important to
  remember that guessing, hope and chance have no
  place in the equity markets. Technical analysis
  and rules based systems are the only approach
  which equates to long term success.

• Does the idea of trading stocks for a living seem
  like a distant dream? Don't give it! Trading
  stocks can be hard at first, so the sooner you
  learn stock trading basics the better. If you
  allow yourself to move carelessly through the
  void of knowledge and trade by discretion and
  every single hot stock trading tip you get, you
  could end up broke faster than you imagine! Don't
  fret! Here are the best equity trading basics I
  can give you in one article. Read these and
  continue forward with your dreams and you will
  have a much better chance of success.
• First up, leave your ego at the door and do not
  trade anything by discretion. Equity trading
  basics will tell you clearly and thoroughly that
  stock trading is not a matter of who has the
  biggest ego. This is actually quite often the
  opposite. Stock trading requires that you not
  have one at all, at least not while you are
  trading. Keeping your ego in check will allow you
  to deal with online stock trading better and will
  not make you too injured by losses or feel too
  invincible as a result of victories.

• Second up in stock trading basics, keep yourself
  up to date on the stock market. I mean,
  seriously, watch and maintain a particular
  trading strategy for an extended period of time
  and do not allow yourself to become terribly
  distracted by anything. This can mean regulating
  the information you receive to only allow
  yourself to read that which you are working
  actively with. Turn off the TV if you have to,
  just keep information out that doesn't revolve
  around a stock you are trading. Last, get an
  excellent system and software on which to trade
  stocks. This will help you master trading basics
  by giving you the right equipment to read the
  markets. I recommend thinkorswim very much as it
  has an extremely intuitive interface and has won
  several awards. Just make sure you are using the
  right technical analysis and stock trading tips
  to trade on or else you will likely not be very
  profitable!
