DAY TRADING STOCKS

DAY TRADING STOCKS

Day Trading Stocks for a Living

This is a full-time job! In fact, it is more than a full-time job. Day trading stocks and any form of Short-term stock trading consists of three key elements:
  1. Stock Trading Research
  2. Stock Trading Strategy
  3. Stock Trading Execution.
The first element, stock trading research, is done after the market closes and before the market opens. You scan for potential winners, look at charts, analyze market data, etc. Once you have found a potential day trade, you go into the next phase which is developing a day trading strategy.

In this phase, you plan out your stock trades. This strategy must include an entry price, a target price, a stop loss price and a time frame. Once you have completed the strategy for your trade you move on to execution.
Execution is done during market hours in which you simply execute your stock trading plans (strategy).  This is the fun part. You have worked so hard to find day trading stock candidates for your next trade. You have developed a trading plan for each one of the candidates. Now, all that is left to do is execute your trading plan.
