- Forex Software - Why Do You Day Trade?
The point is that there are a gigantic number of other things you could be doing to get rich. So, why precisely did you choose to trade? Actually, since there ARE an almost infinite number of possibilities, your choice to use Trading as the way to make your fortune represents an opportunity cost, in that since you are spending your time studying and practicing Trading, you therefore don't have the same time available to be studying other subjects. These alternative opportunities might also have brought you riches, perhaps even more so than Trading.
So, ponder the same question again, perhaps a little more deeply this time… “WHY do you trade?”

- Online Trading, Better Than A Day Job?
Let's talk today about some of the main benefits of online trading from home. For me, one of the best things it allows me to do is to finally be free from the rat race.

- Day Trading - The Need To Study
Trading financial markets is like any other discipline; the more you study it and become an expert in it, the better you get. Too many people want to jump into online trading and blow their money before they even know what they are doing. They perceive forex trading or stock market trading as a quick and easy way to riches and figure they can jump in with minimal preparation.
This is why beginner traders are susceptible to the latest forex trading or commodity trading “sure-fire” system that some guru out there is selling. After all, what could be easier than forking out some cash and buying a trading system “guaranteed” to make you big profits?

- Day Trading: THE Most Important But Overlooked Secret…
Truly successful day trading is dependent on ONE often overlooked factor. Strangely, it's NOT the specific market you choose to trade; be it forex, stocks, bond futures, options or any combination of these. It is NOT the timeframe, i.e. day trading vs. long-term investment. It definitely is NOT how much capital you have got in your broker account. And, strangely enough, it's NOT even how reliable your trading information is, whether technical charting or economic fundamentals, or some combination of the two…

- Day Trading - Be Independent In Your Trading
In day trading, the ability to be independent is even more important than in other life arenas. That is because in the day trading arena, there is no such thing as “absolute truth” and there is no end of opinion, conjecture, rumor and fantasy. Hope and Greed play their part too, and overall create a landscape of illusion wherein a person with no independent opinion of his/her own will be swept away to rapid destruction…

- Stock Market Index Trading: Dow Jones Analysis 2008
This stock trading video gives a brief technical chart analysis of the stock market, specifically, the Dow Jones Industrials Index for January 2008.
This makes it clear that for stock trading purposes, the Dow Jones is poised at some very key levels. It is currently on some very major support levels, and hence it needs to hold these levels in order to avert a major collapse to the 11, 650 level, from where even further stock market declines could be easily seen. The negative side of this story is that we appear to have a fully developed and completed head and shoulders pattern, implying the target just stated. However, on the positive side, there are a number of major support points coming in on various time-frames, right at where the market is trading at the time of this trading video.

- Day Trading - Don't Lose Your Trade Capital!
Novice day traders have little idea how to manage their trading risk, even as a concept. The typical pattern is that they put on a trade based upon some fairly poorly defined criteria, and when the market eventually moves against them, they are clueless as to when to get out of the position. Instead, they will typically let the trade worsen until it is eventually too painful to retain.
The experienced trader, however, places risk management at the heart of the entire trading plan from the very beginning…
