Hi jagan,
Right now i am confused in trading strategy and stock selection. There are so many stocks in US markets and i am new in this market. So i don't know about any stock. Now a days i am searching for good stocks which can be good to trade in intraday.
Yes, here we can trade only in stocks, because index can be traded in derivatives and we are trading equity only. But we can trade the ETF here. Every index has there ETF. Dow jones has their ETF i.e DIA.
Comapny gave us 2000$.
If you are profitable then they allowed us to trade from the opening. We have 2 $ trade lock. Means if we loss over 2 $ then we cannot trade on that day. When market opens, the stocks move very fast and if anyone take position and got the trade lock, then he cannot trade on that day. He has to sit there till the market close. That is why company tell us not to trade in first and last hour. But if you are profitable, then no one say you not to trade in first hour.
We can close our trade at any time before market close.
They didn't give us any software for charting. That is the worst part. We saw charts on our trading platform software i.e TAKION. or we see the charts on different websites.
Yes i am trying to analyze tape reading. But it is very difficult for me, because till now i was totally dependent on charts. But here most of the traders trade on tape. They can analyze the support and resistance by tape reading.
Thanks...
