Day Trading Precautions | Do and Don'ts of Day Trading | Day Trading Strategies

I have heard that most of the people come to share market or to day trading to earn fast money and in single day. According to our experience it is not possible to achieve this type of success because share market is not gambling. And if people continue trading by keeping same mind set then it is risky and chances are there that they may loose money. Share market or day trading is not where you have to test you luck but in fact it requires the systematic approach by studying the various factors and parameters.

If you are not confident and you are getting felling of losing money then don?t do day trading. The fear of loss of money comes to mind if you don?t have proper knowledge of the product and the system. So don?t continue trading. First gain all necessary information and start working on paper trading practice and try to gain profit in paper trading because this will boost your confidence and then you can plan to do actual trading.

It happens many times that even experience traders or analysts are not able to judge the market direction due to various reasons like impact of global markets, domestic circumstances and many more. So it is recommended avoid trading if you are not able to judge the market trading take break for some time and then try to analyze. If you have good patience then you can sit and watch the trading terminal and wait for right opportunity and if you don?t have patience then take break.

Mind frame plays very important role in day trading but in fact even in investing. Success (profit) failure (loss) depends how you react to current market situation. If you are in angry or upset mood then it is risky to do day trading, so avoid trading for that day for that time. Even if you are feeling uncomfortable then also it is recommended to stop trading and take break for a while or for entire day. Money saved is money earned.

Market opens at 09:00 am and closes at 03:30 pm. During this period mostly 20 to 30 minutes tolerance the trading happens very unexpectedly due to participation of big players/traders due to which market becomes indecisive for some time so if you are new or don?t have enough experience to judge the market status then trading should be avoided.

It has been observed that some times market neither goes up nor it moves down it just oscillates (moves up and down) in very small narrow range due to which it becomes very difficult to take analyze the market and take the trading decision. At the same time it becomes very difficult to judge the specific stock movement whether the stock price is going up or moving down. So in such circumstances apply wait and watch strategy and only trade when market moves in any one particular direction don?t try to do forceful trades by predicting the market direction.

If you have high influence of greed and fear then first you should work out to reduce the intensity of these two factors because these two factors are considered as enemies for day traders and also for investors. Impatience is another important factor which makes you to panic and take inappropriate decisions while trading. So avoid becoming impatience and having enough patience which is prime requirement for day trading.
