How To Day Trade
Learning How To Day Trade
Learning how to day trade is actually a fairly simple process of predicting the direction of any chosen instrument going up or down in price and opening and closing your position within the same trading day. If you were to hold your position after the market closes that would not be considered a “day trade”. A day trade must be opened and closed within the same trading day.
Getting Started With Day Trading
To get started with how to day trade you’ll need to open an online broker like Interactive Brokers (many to choose from) and deposit enough money to your broker to start day trading. The specific broker you choose will determine how much it’s going to cost you to day trade.
It also matters whether you will day trade stocks, futures, cfd’s, forex, or crypto. Stocks require more money to day trade you must have 25K USD in your account in order to day trade stocks. You can do 3 day trades within a 5 day rolling period but if you do 4 day trades then you will be breaking the day trading rule if you do not have 25K in your account.
If you hold overnight you won’t be day trading. If you day trade futures there is no day trading rule so you can day trade all futures as much as you like without having 25K in your account. However many brokers require you to have $2,000 in your account in order to get “margin” which you’ll probably want to use.
However there are still ways around this and one of those ways is to use a CFD broker and you can day trade all you want and get your margin requirements down to $25 or $50 and get yourself to $1 per tick on the YM for instance, so that you can day trade for very cheap and make good money and practice day trading. You can even get the day trades for free without paying any trading costs.
Interactive Brokers Can Day Trade Stocks, Futures, Currencies, Bitcoin, Options
Or you can go in the opposite direction and trade with the most expensive broker with respect to “margin” requirements but cheap with respect to borrowing money for trades (using margin on stocks) and trading costs and that broker is Interactive Brokers.
Interactive Brokers is very good for stocks but if you trade futures through them they do require more money to open up a contract than many other brokers. But if have the money to put into the broker then Interactive Brokers gives you world wide power to make money. I have used Interactive Brokers since 2002.
Using A Demo Day Trading Account To Practice Day Trading
After you get your broker setup you need to learn how to use the software to buy and sell stocks and futures instruments like Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq, Gold, Oil, Bitcoin, USD, etc. You can learn the software by opening a “demo account” where you use practice money to trade with, so that you can learn and make mistakes with practice money.
You need to do this until you feel fully capable and knowledgable about what you’re doing. And you’re able to buy and sell and setup your orders without making any mistakes. Once you’re able to do that then you’re ready for the next step.
Need To Learn A Really Good Day Trading System
The next step is for you to learn an entry technique to enter into the market with that has a very high chance to win for a certain amount of ticks that must be determined in advance along with a certain place where you will set a stop order whether this be a mental stop order or real one you place with the software on where you will get out of the trade for a loss.
All aspects of your day trades need to be determined in advance, where you will enter long or short (price), where you will exit for a profit (price), where you will stop out for a loss (price). You should never enter into the market without an exact plan in place on exactly what you’re going to do.
And that plan would then be called a “day trading system”, or a “day trading technique” that you would use. And this would be based upon backtesting of the chart to come up with a mathematical day trading system, complete with specific entry price long or short, a specific profit target and a specific stop loss and the mathematical chances behind the trade based upon back testing and forward testing of the system on the chart.
Without this knowledge there is virtually no chance of the average person being successful at “day trading” and this is why most people lose at day trading. They trade without a plan, without a “day trading system”, and this is almost certain death for any day trader. But if you use the right day trading system 100% based upon mathematics and back testing of the chart you can in fact be extremely successful. It’s really all about the right knowledge.
