Trade Stock Online In beginning to trade in stocks the most important thing to know is the amount of capital required. Many traders make the mistake of thinking that about 10 points margin is enough. Nothing is more erroneous. The man who starts trading on 10 points' margin is gambling, not even making safe, speculative ventures. When you start to trade use your capital as you would in a business, and in such a conservative way that you can continue. For trading in stocks selling at $100.00 per share or over, you should have $5,000.00 for each 100 shares you trade in; $2,500.00 for trading in stocks selling over $50.00; $1,500.00 for stocks selling around $25.00; $1,000.00 for stocks selling at $10.00 to $15.00. This amount of capital is not to margin stocks and let them run against you 10 to 30 points. It is to be used to make a large number of trades and pay small losses when they occur. You should always limit your loss on each trade to about 3 points and never more than 5 points. If you have only $300.00 to start trading with, when you buy or sell a stock, place a 3-point stop loss order on it. This will allow you to make ten trades on your capital. Suppose you make five consecutive trades and lose, your capital will be half gone, but if on the next trade you are right and make 15-points' profit, you will regain all of your losses; or, if you make three trades with 5 points' profit, they would wipe out the losses of five trades with 3 point losses on each. LIMIT YOUR RISK A strong will power is just as essential as plenty of capital. If you have not the firmness, will power, and determination to protect every trade with a stop loss order, do not start trading, for you will fail. I have often heard traders say "If I place a stop loss order at a certain point the market is sure to catch it." Yet they realize afterward that the stop loss order being caught was the best thing that could happen to them. There is nothing better than getting out quickly when you are wrong. The man who refuses to get out when he is wrong usually stays until his money is gone and the margin clerk sells him out. stock quote ~ money maker |
