A lot of people have the dream of making day trading their career and although day trading does have a number of risks making a living trading stocks is possible. To make a career from day trading the person needs to have a strong base of knowledge and it helps if they have a little bit of a sixth sense. Throughout this article how someone makes a career from day trading starring Marty Forex.
At the beginning of the work day Marty Forex decides to purchase 100 shares of Forex-Trading Inc. Marty knows from watching the current trends that Forex-Trading is about to make a huge leap forward and it turns out he is right as the stock jumps a point in the next few hours. Since he is a day trader Mary wants to leave while he is still ahead so he sells off his shares in Forex-Trading Inc. Marty is successful because he is both careful and knows how to read the stock signs.
Lets say that Marty Forex made a $100 for the before mentioned trade (I am using this amount for simplification reasons) chances are Marty would us half of it to cover capital and half to put forward to future investments. Of course, no one in the day trading game is doing any investing with $50; again, this figure is simply for illustration. If Marty makes five similar trades for the business days, with the same results, he will have made $500 of profit. Keeping with that trend, trading five days a week would net Marty $2500 of profit per week. (Commissions, overhead costs and other business expenses, realistically bringing the amount down to $2000 or less would reduce this figure.) This is still a nice bit of profit, considering that this is only one stock's trade performance. Marty Forex probably handles quite a few more trades than that in a typical day's time.
Now unfortunately not every trade is going to result in a profit so lets look at a scenario where Marty Forex handles ten stock trades per day with the same $100 profit. We will say that Marty is successful on 30% of his trades so out of the ten trades Marty makes $300 profit. Same scenario for a typical week will see Marty bringing home around $1500 before expenses kick in. Hopefully with more education on determining what a stock is going to do next Marty can increase his success percentage which increases his profits.
Day trading is a skill and like any skill it is important that you get as much education and information before you begin to jump into the world of stock trading. For some who have that sixth sense that can pick the winner from the loser day trading can turn into a rewarding career. - 22871
