Online day trading
Online stock market trading has made it possible for millions of individuals to play the stock market game. Almost anyone, from novice investors to professional traders, can participate in online day trading.
But online day trading has many dangers and you need the right tools to avoid losing all your money.
Online stock market trading allows traders to participate in the financial markets at greater speed. But because of this, it has also become easier to make costly mistakes.
One of the most common problems with first-timers in online day trading is they think they can make a fortune online without much skill or knowledge. This attitude is fostered by stories of traders making overnight riches. New traders should be aware that for every one that makes it good in online day trading there are at least a hundred who lose money.
The biggest mistake that newbie traders make is that they gamble. They get a great hunch, pile in the money and then see it trickle away. But day trading has nothing to do with luck: day trading requires a system which the day trader should follow with an iron discipline.
What potential day traders need to realize is that online day trading is really no different from traditional stock market trading. The web hasn't changed the fundamentals of smart investing: it has only made it easier to invest. Individuals - like most professional day traders - should still have a set of rules and guidelines to help them avoid the dangers of online day trading.

Japanese Candlestick Patterns and Chart Time Frames
23 Feb 2010 at 7:34pm
I recently received a comment asking which chart time frames I was referring to in my explanations of the Japanese candlestick patterns (e.g. fifteen minutes, daily, etc.)?
The Japanese candlestick patterns are applicable to all chart time frames, including very short time frames (e.g. one minute), very long time frames (e.g. one month), and theoretically non time based time frames (e.g. volume). The individual candlestick patterns will appear identical on every chart time frame, so once you have learned a particular candlestick pattern on one time frame, you will be able to recognize the pattern on any candlestick chart.
The Japanese candlestick patterns can also be used with bar charts (rather than candlestick charts), and while the candlestick patterns themselves are the same (i.e. the relationships between the opens, closes, highs, and lows are the same), they will appear slightly different, because of the differences between candlesticks and bars (read my tutorials about candlestick charts and bar charts if you need to).

Good Morning Mr. Doji
15 Feb 2010 at 12:14am
The first pair of the Japanese candlestick patterns that require three individual candlesticks were the bullish morning star and the bearish evening star. The second pair of the Japanese candlestick patterns that require three individual candlesticks are the bullish morning doji star and the bearish evening doji star.
As one would expect from the names, these two pairs of candlestick patterns are very similar, with the exception that one of the pairs includes a doji. Therefore, knowing what a doji is will be very helpful in recognizing these candlestick patterns.
Here are the explanations of the bullish morning doji star, and the bearish evening doji star candlestick patterns. Good Morning Mr. Doji originally appeared on About.com Day Trading on Monday, February 15th, 2010 at 07:14:48. Permalink | Comment | Email this
Now, from this point on, things get a little bit confusing ...
8 Feb 2010 at 10:49pm
If you have not yet learned the single and double Japanese candlestick patterns, now is the time to do so, because as Rimmer* said so eloquently, "from this point on, things get a little bit confusing".
The first pair of the Japanese candlestick patterns that require three individual candlesticks (i.e. the triple candlestick patterns) to be explained are the bullish morning star and the bearish evening star. The triple candlestick patterns are not difficult to recognize on a price chart, but their interpretation places significant emphasis upon the relationship between the three individual candlesticks (i.e. the placement of their opens, highs, lows, and closes, with respect to one another), so a good understanding of these concepts is essential to correctly identifying the triple candlestick patterns during trading.
So, without any further ado, here are the explanations of the bullish morning star, and the bearish evening star candlestick patterns.

Japanese Candlestick Patterns - Bearish Thrusting
31 Jan 2010 at 9:16pm
The last of the Japanese candlestick patterns that require two candlesticks is the bearish thrusting. The bearish thrusting candlestick pattern is similar in appearance to the bearish on and in neck patterns, and is therefore also relatively easy to identify on a price chart (as long as it is not confused with the bearish in neck pattern).
