SHORT - TERM TRADING
- Is there a role for intraday data in trading decisions?
- In Newsletter 34 you asked a potential short term trader for 15%pa return over two years. If you only trade the long side, how can you do this?
- What do you mean by short term trading?
- Could you recommend some books on day trading?
- Could you please tell me the best way to daytrade the stock market and make +/- 10-15% on each trade after brokerage?
- I want to daytrade the current volatile markets to make money for my super fund. How much capital do I need?
- I have been reading with interest your article about Short-Term Trend Analysis in the May-June 1999 edition of the Your Trading Edge magazine. You use a daily chart to illustrate your technique, however can you please tell me if it can be applied with any reliability to intraday five-minute charts?
- Could you please look at the chart for Hardman-HDR an explain what if anything I did wrong. I bought at 10:25 for 73c and sold half an hour latter for 67. At the close last night it was over 80c. My questions are these (1) Did I buy at the wrong time? (2) Did I sell too early (these questions are asked because in hindsight, that morning was a feeding frenzy). (3) Was what happened something that a trader could not prepare for: The market was very strong. If I can understand what happened and why, learning the skills to be able to control my financial future is one step closer, to becoming a reality.
- Can you recommend any books or sites on day trading?
