			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that there are 4 mains types of trader and depending on what type you are will determine many parts of your trading strategy and trading plan. The 4 types are: scalping, day trading, swing trading and position trading. When you determine the type of trader that you are it will also determine the time frame in which you will be making your trade. This will be a very important decision that you need to make when deciding how you want to learn to day trade, maybe using a stock picking tool like <a target="_blank" href="http://www.toptradingdirectory.com/stocks/">stock assault software</a></p>
<p>1. Scalping Trader, if you scalp the markets this means that you are only looking for a few ticks profit per trade and you may only be in the trade for a few seconds or a minute at most. trading. Some people will also call this day trading but it&#8217;s really micro day trading, buying the bid and selling the offer, it&#8217;s fast trading and you might end up doing 10-50 trades a day. This can be quite a stressful way of trading.</p>
<p>2. Day Trader, the true <a target="_blank" href="http://www.toptradingdirectory.com/technical-analysis/technical-analysis-course.htm">day trader</a> opens and closes their trade within the same trading session, usually this mean the same day, but unlike a scalper the trade may be held for a few minutes up to several hours. Usually day traders make about 2-5 trades a day and most of them will be in the 5-30 minutes range. This is a less stressful way of trading than scalping but it still requires much attention and quick decision making.</p>
<p>3. Swing Traders, swing trading usually means that a position is held for between 1 to 5-10 days, although some swing traders may keep a trade on for longer most are within this time period. For many this is the idea way to trade because it allows you to review your trade overnight, at the very least you have several hours to make your trading decisions.</p>
<p>4. Position Traders, this just means that you are going to hold onto your trade for longer than 5-10 days, maybe even as long as a few months.</p>
<p>If you are still working out how to day trade then it may be better to go with the longer time frames as it gives you more time to think, of course you should also take the best <a target="_blank" href="http://www.toptradingdirectory.com/technical-analysis/technical-analysis-course.htm">technical analysis course</a> you can find.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most successful floor traders are those that have the most experiance, this is no coincidence and should be a pointer for those who aspire to become a good trader. Day trading can be likened to being a sportsman, such as a golf pro or tennis champion, you need to be trained and in good physical shape. Skills are needed which must be developed over time and practiced until they become 2nd nature. If you want to learn <a target="_blank" href="http://www.topdogstrader.com">how to day trade</a> you must be prepared to put in the effort. Here are some of the key skills that you must develop as a trader.</p>
<p> 1. Technical analysis can be used for futures as well as the more standard stocks, options and bonds that most people trade. This can give you a large edge over other traders who have not taken the time to study the charts support and resistance areas, trendline and patterns. Learning technical analysis is really a must do if you want to trade futures successfully.</p>
<p> 2. This is a very simple point but is very important, always have your trading plan prepared before you enter a trade, never try and create it on the fly, you will be much too emotional. Make sure that you have an entry and exit point in your plan.</p>
<p> 3. Keep your losses small!, this is the one thing that every trader must do if they want to stay in the game for a long time. By doing this you will preserve your capital allowing you to trade another day. Your small gains will compensate your small losses allowing your big wins to give you an overall profit</p>
<p> 4. Over trading is a big mistake that a lot of amateurs make. Professionals tend to be more patient and wait for the better opportunities to come along, this is called cherry picking and takes both patience and discipline. These are must have skills that you must develop.</p>
<p> 5. This is a big <a target="_blank" href="http://www.topdogstrader.com">day trading tip</a>, it is important that you track all your trades and review them to see where you are making the mistakes. This is hard work, but this is what separates the professionals from the amateurs. Unless you do this you will keep on making the same mistakes. The best way to do this is to keep both a daily and weekly log.</p>
<p> 6. Only trade when you are both physically and mentally prepared. This is often overlooked but is very important. Do you think a golf star can win a game when they are tired and mentally not focused?, it&#8217;s unlikely. Being prepared means getting a good nights sleep, having your trading station and charts well prepared before the market opens, taking the time each and every day to review your trading plan and rules. Finally you must have the mental frame of mind and the confidence that you are going to be successful today in your trading.</p>
<p> 7. If you are new to trading futures take the time to paper trade until you are very confident that you are going to make money. You will know when you are ready because you will start to hate paper trading knowing that you could be making real cash profits on a consistent basis.</p>
<p>Remember that the markets only trend for about 20-35% of the time, the rest is either sideways or very choppy, if you want to do <a target="_blank" href="http://www.topdogstrader.com">trend trading to win</a> you must be fully prepared when the opportunities arise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although it may seem obvious to most <a target="_blank" href="http://www.topdogtradingreview.com/course-3-swing-trading/">stock market swing traders</a> there are a number of simple rules that you can follow which will ensure that you have more success when buying stocks:</p>
<p>In the USA stock market there are 3 major indexes which are each made up of a basket of stocks, they are the S and P 500 (also known as the S&amp;P500), the DOW 30 and the Nadaq 100. These indexes generally only contain major blue chip  stocks, as long as you buy from these 3 groups you will at least know that you are getting a well known solid stock.</p>
<p>For example the DOW 30 contains major industrials and large multinational stocks such as Home Depot (HD) and Johnson and Johnson (JNJ) whereas the Nasdaq 100 mainly contains techical companies such as Apple (AAPL) and Miscrosoft (MSFT).</p>
<p>Always buy a stock that is liquid, this means that it is a highly traded stock, this will enable you to quickly buy and sell at the price you want without having a delay. You will also get a lower spread, thats the difference between the BID and ASK price of the stock. For a stock to be considered highly liquid it should trade at least 500,000 shares per day, ideally even more.</p>
<p>It is best to aviod stocks that are bellow $10 as this usually means the company is in trouble, although with the bear market of 2008/9 there have been a lot of good stocks at bargin prices between $5 and $10. Avoid buying a stock that is below $5 at anytime.</p>
<p>Another consideration to make is options, does the stock has options?, this will be important if you want to trade options around your stock, such as a covered call, or you may want to buy a PUT option inorder to protect your stock.</p>
<p>Be very cautious about buying a stock just before it&#8217;s earnings are released, stocks often drop significantly if they come out with a poor report. Earnings are released 4 times a year with one of them being the annual report.</p>
<p>If you are going to trade options make sure that you <a target="_blank" href="http://www.topdogstrader.com/top-dog-articles/">learn how to trade</a> by getting some good education. There are many <a target="_blank" href="http://www.swingtraderstrategy.com/swing-trading/swing-trading-blog.html">swing trading strategies</a> that work well with stocks in todays volatile markets.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most popular <a target="_blank" href="http://www.toptradingbooks.com/technical-analysis/">technical analysis indicators</a> is the simple moving average also known as SMA, if you learn how to use these correctly they can be a very useful tool to help you to make good trading decisions.</p>
<p>The 50 simple moving average, or 50 SMA, is simply the sum of the last 50 values for each period, divided by 50, this is a moving window, as time moves on so does the average. Notice that I used the term period because this indicator works on any time period in exactly the same way.</p>
<p>It can be used on monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, 30 minutes, 15 minute and on whatever time period you want to monitor and trade. Although the SMA is the most commonly used there is also the exponential moving average or EMA. This is a weighted version of the formula using the mathematical exponent function to give more weight to the more recent values, this has the effect of making it a slightly faster average that many traders prefer.</p>
<p>The truth is that it probably does not matter if you used the SMA or the EMA, what does matter however is that you use one or the other and then be very consistent with it. Do not switch between them, it is more important that you learn to trust your chosen indicator then a slight difference in its value.</p>
<p>The simple moving average is primarily used to determine what the current trend of the stock is, depending on the value used it could be a short term, medium term or long term trend. An important point to note is that moving averages are most useful when the stock is trending, if the moving average is flat, i.e. horizontal on your chart it can become very choppy, this is a good time to stay out of the market.</p>
<p>The general rule is that if the chart price is above the SMA the trend is up, if below the trend is down. This is very important to understand because it forms the basics of trend trading and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ip-report.com/trading/trend-trading.htm">trading with the trend</a>.</p>
<p>For the short term trend many traders like using a 5-8 SMA or EMA, here is a trading secret, never trade again the direction of the short term tend, this is really just common sense when you think about it.</p>
<p>Moving averages can often act as support or resistance, many traders use the 15, 21 or 30 SMA for this purpose.</p>
<p>There are a number of other very important moving averages that you need to know about, these are the 50, 100 and 200 SMA, and this mainly applies to the daily and weekly charts. A lot of big players in the markets, like the the mutual funds, investment banks etc use the 50 and 200 SMA as support and resistance, if they decide to buy or sell based on these you need to follow suite, the 100 to a lesser extent. These are very useful averages to watch if you trade EFT&#8217;s like an <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ip-report.com/trading/oil-etf.htm">Oil ETF</a>.</p>
<p>A useful tip is that when a stock breaks through one moving average it will often move all the way to the next, for example, if a stock breaks the 30 it may move to the 50 before finding some support or resistance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that there are 4 mains types of trader and depending on what type you are will determine many parts of your trading strategy and trading plan. The 4 types are generally referred to as: scalping, day trading, swing trading and position trading. When you determine the type of trader that you are it will also determine the time period in which you will be making your trade. This will be a very important decision that you need to make when deciding how you want to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.topdogstrader.com">learn to day trade</a>.</p>
<p>1. Scalping Trader, if you scalp the market this means that you are only looking for a few ticks profit per trade and you may only be in the trade for a few seconds or a minute at most. trading. Some people will also call this day trading but it&#8217;s really micro day trading, buying the bid and selling the offer, it&#8217;s high speed trading and you might end up doing 10-50 trades a day. This can be quite a stressful way of trading.</p>
<p>2. Day Trader, the true <a target="_blank" href="http://www.topdogstrader.com">day trader</a> opens and closes their trade within the same trading session, usually this mean the same day, but unlike a scalper the trade may be held for a few minutes up to several hours. Usually day traders make about 2-6 trades a day and most of them will be in the 5-30 minutes range. This is a less stressful way of trading than scalping but it still requires a lot of attention and quick decision making.</p>
<p>3. Swing Traders, swing trading usually means that a position is held for between 1 to 5-10 days, although some swing traders may keep a trade on for a longer time most are within this time period. For many this is the idea way to trade because it allows you to review your trade in the evening, at the very least you have several hours to make your trading decisions.</p>
<p>4. Position Traders, this just means that you are going to hold onto your trade for longer than 5-10 days, maybe even as long as a few months.</p>
<p>If you are still working out <a target="_blank" href="http://www.topdogstrader.com">how to day trade</a> then it may be better to go with the longer time frames as it gives you more time to think.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although it may seem obvious to most <a target="_blank" href="http://www.topdogtradingreview.com/">stock market swing traders</a> there are a number of simple rules that you can follow which will ensure that you have more success when buying stocks:</p>
<p>In the USA stock market there are 3 major indexes which are each made up of a basket of stocks, they are the S and P 500 (also known as the S&amp;P500), the DOW 30 and the Nadaq 100. These indexes generally only contain major blue chip  stocks, as long as you buy from these 3 groups you will at least know that you are getting a well known solid stock.</p>
<p>For example the DOW 30 contains major industrials and large multinational stocks such as Home Depot (HD) and Johnson and Johnson (JNJ) whereas the Nasdaq 100 mainly contains techical companies such as Apple (AAPL) and Miscrosoft (MSFT).</p>
<p>Always buy a stock that is liquid, this means that it is a highly traded stock, this will enable you to easily buy and sell at the price you want without having a delay. You will also get a lower spread, thats the difference between the BID and ASK price of the stock. For a stock to be considered very liquid it should trade at least 500,000 shares per day, ideally even more.</p>
<p>It is best to avoid stocks that are bellow $10 as this usually means the company is in trouble, although with the bear market of 2008 there have been a lot of good stocks at bargin prices between $5 and $10. Avoid buying a stock below $5 at anytime.</p>
<p>Another consideration to make is options, does the stock has options?, this will be important if you want to trade options around your stock, such as a covered call, or you may want to buy a PUT option in order to protect your stock.</p>
<p>Be very cautious about buying a stock just before it&#8217;s earnings release, stocks often drop significantly if you come out with a poor report. Earnings releases are 4 times a year with one of them being the annual report.</p>
<p>If you are going to trade options make sure that you <a target="_blank" href="http://www.topdogstrader.com">learn how to trade</a> by getting some good education. There are many <a target="_blank" href="http://www.swingtraderstrategy.com/swing-trading/">swing trading strategies</a> that work well with stocks in todays volatile markets.</p>
