    You only need to know two things:
    1) Know when/where to enter
    2) Know when/where to exit.

    It might sound too simplistic to the noobies. But, in time, you too will understand.

  8. schizo,

    This is very true and I agree. Knowing when/where to enter. knowing when/where to exit is all that matters.

    How do you make $300 to $500 or more a day?
    That's 1000 shares to make 50 cents say.
    Or 100 shares to trade 10 times in a day commissions could kill you.
    Better 200 shares 5 times and make 40 cents for $80 x5.
    A $5 stock x 1000 is a $5000 trade or x 200 is a $1000 trade.
    You need a stock thats moving and has volume.
    Watch level 2 see whats on Bid and Ask.
    See how volume is increasing.Set alerts.
    Buy at support sell at resistance.
    If you have margin then the reverse for shorting.
