What is Day Trading?
Day trading (and trading in general) is the buying and selling of various financial instruments, such as futures, options, currencies , and stocks, with the goal of making a profit from the difference between the buying price and the selling price. Day trading differs slightly from other styles of trading in that positions are rarely (if ever) held overnight or when the market being traded is closed.
Day trading was originally only available to financial companies (such as banks), because only they had access to the exchanges and market data, but with recent technology such as the Internet, individual traders now have direct access to the same exchanges and market data, and can make the same trades at very low cost.
Trading Styles
There are several different styles of day trading, suited to different day trader personalities.
The styles range from short term scalping where positions are only held for a few seconds or minutes, to longer term swing and position trading where a position may be held throughout the trading day. Most day trading systems have a lot of flexibility, and can have open positions for anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, depending upon how the trade is doing (whether it is in profit). Some day traders will trade multiple styles, but most traders will choose a single style and only take that type of trade.
Day trading also has different types of trade, such as trend trades, counter-trend trades, and ranging trades. Trend trades are trades in the direction of the current price movement (i.e. buying if the price is moving up), and counter-trend trades are trades against the direction of the current price movement (i.e. selling if the price is moving up). Ranging trades are trades that go back and forth between two prices, and are used when the market is moving sideways. Most day traders will choose a single type of trade, but some traders will take different types, and choose which one to trade depending upon the current condition of the market.
In addition to the style and type of day trading, there are other variances between day traders. Some day traders like to make many trades throughout the trading day, while others prefer to wait for what they consider the best conditions for their trade, and perhaps only make one trade per day. However many trades are made, the trading process that is used, and the desired goal of making a profit, are the same.

Nov 16
The PSE index closed 104.70 points or 2.83% lower this week from 3,703.66 points last Nov 9 to 3,598.96 pts this week. A declining market is not so conducive for day trading especially if you are doing margin trading.
For my daily stock forecast next week, I plan to make it more convincing and realistic by assuming to invest real cash value to it. This are the following assumptions i'll be following:
1. I'll be investing 100,000 at the start of the week.
2. I'll buy the 3 different stocks that i recommend for that day.
3. i'll buy the stocks at the opening price.
4. i'll sell the stocks if it hits 2% gain. i'll hold on w the stock if it won't and sell it the next few days until it hits 2%.
5. Brokers fee and taxes are not applied.

Bottom Line on Margin Trading
Here's the bottom line on margin trading:
- You are more likely to lose lots of money (or make lots of money) when you invest on margin.
- Buying on margin is borrowing money from a broker to purchase stock.
- Margin increases your buying power.
- An initial investment of at least P 200,000 is required (minimum margin).
- You can borrow up to 50% of the purchase price of a stock (initial margin).
- You are required to keep a minimum amount of equity in your margin account that can range from 25% - 40% (maintenance margin).
- Marginable securities act as collateral for the loan.
- Like any loan, you have to pay interest on the amount you borrow.
- Not all stocks qualify to be bought on margin.
- You must read the margin agreement and understand its implications.
- If the equity in your account falls below the maintenance margin, the brokerage will issue a margin call.
- Margin calls can result in you having to liquidate stocks or add more cash to the account.
- Brokers may be able to sell your securities without consulting you.
- Margin means leverage.
- The advantage of margin is that if you pick right, you win big.
- The downside of margin is that you can lose more money than you originally invested.
- Buying on margin is definitely not for everybody.
- Margin trading is extremely risky.

Forecast - Nov 5
I wasn't able to update my blog for about a month already since I'm occupied with other stuffs. But I still do my daily online stock trading thru www.citiseconline.com. I'm back and i'm updating my blog with the daily forecast of my hot picks for the next trading day. Since I'm doing margin trading, I usualy go for stocks which are the top losers of the previous day but which are also actively traded. I usualy buy these stocks at its opening price and since it started low, it usualy rises 2 to 3 fluctuations up within the day and later sell it off when it hits my target price. As much as possible, I'm gonna post it daily together with how my forecast (for the previous day) have performed. Happy trading..

Advantages of Margin Trading
Why use margin? It's all about leverage. Just as companies borrow money to invest in projects, investors can borrow money and leverage the cash they invest. Leverage amplifies every point that a stock goes up. If you pick the right investment, margin can dramatically increase your profit.
A 50% initial margin allows you to buy up to twice as much stock as you could with just the cash in your account. It's easy to see how you could make significantly more money by using a margin account than by trading from a pure cash position. What really matters is whether your stock rises or not. The investing world will always debate whether it's possible to consistently pick winning stocks. We won't weigh in on that debate here, but simply say that margin does offer the opportunity to amplify your returns.
The best way to demonstrate the power of leverage is with an example. Let's imagine a situation that we'd all love to be in - one that results in hugely exaggerated profits:
We'll keep with the numbers of $20,000 worth of securities bought using $10,000 of margin and $10,000 of cash. Cory's Tequila Co. is trading at $100 and you feel that it will rise dramatically. Normally, you'd only be able to buy 100 shares (100 x $100 = $10,000). Since you're investing on margin, you have the ability to buy 200 shares (200 x $100 = $20,000).
Cory's Tequila Co. then locks in Jennifer Lopez as a spokeswoman and the price of shares skyrockets 25%. Your investment is now worth $25,000 (200 shares x $125) and you decide to cash out. After paying back your broker the $10,000 you originally borrowed, you get $15,000, $5,000 of which is profit. That's a 50% return even though the stock only went up 25%. Keep in mind that to simplify this transaction, we didn't take into account commissions and interest. Otherwise, these costs would be deducted from you profit.
