let me explain..... i have just found this site and from reading the entries i am not sure what we are talking about. i realize there are many firms and styles etc... out there. but when we talk about about daytrading what are we referring to? i have been trading for over two years almost all nasdaq stocks and i have tried different methods and still constantly learning. from the few things i have read i feel like i am not clear about the general concensus of what it is to daytrade. i apologize if this question seems pointless but i just like to know what people think it means to daytrade... thanks for imput and good luck out there. ---g---
You seem like a nice young kid. Just hoping that by post #4 you're not back with "a couple of exciting sites and/or chat rooms that made the concept of daytrading" easy for you.(or more so for us)
no, that is not my goal at all in fact this the first trader forum i have ever been on. i have always tried to stay away but i've been struggling as of late and just trying to see if i am alone. allow me to clarify my question... when i ask what is daytrading, i trade between 30-50 thousand shares a day. all nasdaq stocks, i rarely go out long and i use both soes and most ecn's to put in orders. i am not familiar with trading on the nyse. i trade low volume spread stocks with some size (500-2000) share positions. that's my background. so am i alone out there or do a lot of others trade this way. thanks again any input is appreciated.
