Beginner Day Online Trading
Real Time Data
In order to successfully day trade you must have access to real-time market data. Relying on stale information will result in poor trades.
Day is the practice of buying or selling throughout the day, but being completely out of the market by the close of the day.
Skills and Training
As a career, day attracts individuals from many walks of life. Because it is stressful, day traders must be self-disciplined, confident, and patient; they must also have the ability to accept losses, learn from their mistakes and quickly move forward.
Seminars, books, college courses, and Internet-based tutorials all offer the opportunity to learn what you need to know to become a successful day trader — for a price. And the learning never stops. You have to keep up to date on market trends, emerging technologies, and learn new methodologies continually to stay ahead of the game.
Getting Started
As a beginner online trader, as a minimum, you will need a computer, a reliable and fast Internet connection, access to real-time data, an account with a brokerage service, and funds to open a broker account. Never trade with funds you cannot afford to lose. Before jumping into the day milieu it is advisable to practice by paper trading. Paper simply means virtual or simulated trading. You can find paper websites on the Internet that will let you hone your skills and get a feel for the tools and methods used by day traders before you

<div class="field-item"><p>Good morning, everyone!</p><p>Usually on the weekend following a big holiday weekend, there are a lot of coupons, and that is the case today. In addition to the inserts, don't miss the Soy Joy coupon in Parade Magazine. It's a buy two get one free.</p><p>Today's coupons have been added to the database. As always, if you would like the Excel spreadsheet version, it is available for download below.</p><p>Also, I should note that I added a new feature to the spreadsheet this week for those of you who save the whole inserts so that you can go back to them later. At the top of my database, you should see the "Find a Coupon" heading, and below that you should now see both "Sue's coupon database" and a link to the right that says "Insert key." If you click on it, it will take you to a new page, where I give you a key for weeks when we have multiple Smart Source or Red Plum inserts. As most of you know, on those weeks, I will identify the insert in which a coupon was printed by using numbers (ie. SS1 and SS2). My new key will simply help you identify the insert by adding a detail like, "SS2 is the one with the Lasik ad on the front." But it should make identification easier for those of you who save the whole inserts. I hope it helps, anyway!</p><p>Happy clipping, everyone!!! </p><br /><br /><b>Document(s):</b><br /><a href='http://projects.newsobserver.com/sites/projects.newsobserver.com/files/Find a Coupon 0907.xls'>Find a Coupon 0907.xls</a><br /></div>

<!-- Begin check for Teaser Toggle -->
<div class="field-item"><p>I know, I had no idea! I got a press release from the The Coupon Council this week promoting National Coupon Month. The thing that caught my eye was this statistic: <em>"The majority [of shoppers] spend less than 10 minutes per week clipping and organizing their coupons, and achieve a 7 percent average savings on their grocery bill."</em> </p><p>So to me, that means that even if you don't want to devote a lot of time to saving, you can still save a lot with a little effort. If you say the average family spends $100 a week on groceries, 7 percent of that is $7. And $7 multiplied by 52 weeks is $364. I'd say that's worth it... and of course, if you invest a little more time, you can make your savings grow in a big way. </p></div>

It seems now that a slightly different version of this offer is available to all VIC card members.</p><p>Through Sept. 30, you can get a free $25 gift card for transferring your prescription to Harris Teeter. Then on top of that, you will also get a $10 credit added onto your VIC card for EACH prescription you transfer. There is no limit. So if you transfer one prescription, you'd get the $25 gift card and the $35 credit. If you transfer two, you'd get the $25 gift card and two $10 credits. That's a mighty nice incentive for a very small amount of work. You can find the details of the deal on Harris Teeter's <a href="http://www.harristeeter.com/promotions/e-vic/special_offer.aspx">Web site here</a>.</p><p>(As always, I caution do want to people who have multiple precriptions that bouncing them from pharmacy to pharmacy could be dangerous because of possible drug interactions.) </p></div>

You tell the site a little bit about the condition of the product and it tells you what it's worth. If the amount is acceptable, you hit OK and receive a shipping label and instructions. Once your product has been received and inspected to make sure it matches your description, you are mailed an Office Depot gift card loaded with your trade-in amount.</p><p>Or, if you just wish to recycle items, you will need to pay a $5, $10 or $15 fee for the box and shipping, and Office Depot will take care of the rest.

invest your cash.
Paper is useless if you are not simulating real-life day as much as possible. For this reason you should try to approach paper as if you were committing real money. This involves setting up a plan dealing with such items as:
• entry & exit points
• stop loss limits
• profit targets
• your desired risk/reward profile
• amount of capital to be committed to trades
How long should you paper trade before commencing to "real-life" day trade. There is no set rule in this regard. You should continue paper until you become completely comfortable with the system and confident in your ability to use such techniques as "buy/sell orders" and "stops”
It is important to note that success in paper does not ensure success when in the real market. Many have observed that it is generally easier to profit in a paper environment than in the real markets - in large part because emotions tend to cloud judgments when real money is at risk. Nevertheless, the proper use of paper can be a very useful tool to increase your likelihood of success (or limit your losses) when you begin for real.
Most successful day traders are those that have a system or method and stick to it over and over and over. There is no "magic formula" that will result in fantastic results. Most day traders that I know, plan their trades around a theory or method they have faith in and continue this process over and over.
