Trading basics are simple things but if you ignore them you are bound to fail in your trading career.
To trade properly, you need basic education about stock markets.
You need capital,a trading plan giving rules for entry,exit,stoploss etc
money management rules how much to invest on each trade and how much loss to take on each trade
you need a stable mind desciplined to follow rules of the game with proper psychology free of dangerous emotions which force you to act on impulse.
I see it as a preparation for minimum 8 to 16 weeks.

Fifth and sixth week

learn about brokers weakness and strengths
how to evaluate broker based on brokerage and service charges.
Seventh and eight weeks

=======================================
Tip of today
Dont go on buying when a share starts going down, but dont leave without buying when a stock hits bottom,makes a support and fails to go down.
===============================================
If you bought a stock at very high price,dont worry.
Dont sell for loss.Just wait.
once the stock hits a bottom, buy some more.but only after confirming it hit a solid support level. now you bought at high price and low price average out your price,the overall buy price is lower now
repeat this exercise,only if the stock is good one.
finally sell for profit after a 3 month or 6 month time.

Testimonials
"Sam, thanks for another good and informative article. You are my great teacher."
Peter A., November 2007
"Sam, I just thought I would send you a quick email and tell you how my trading is going. On the 18th I decided to switch from the Ym to the ES. In the 6 days since then I have had 15 trades and have made 19.75 Points. I know there might be a lot of people that make more money then me but for me that is huge. I trade with 5 contracts and so that is $4937.50 in 6 days. I have read about people that trade hundreds and even thousands of contracts and even though I may never go that high this is the first time I have ever thought that maybe I could really start going up. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your articles."
Rick H., November 2007
"Excellent report, thanks Fernando... still learning the trade here, and every so often you come by bringing great lessons, like a lighthouse shining in the middle of a thick fog. Blessings of gratitude!"
Maria, March 2007
"Your market synopsis has been an invaluable tool in deciphering the directions of the market and understanding the complex undercurrents that one has to navigate through. Please keep up the good work. From one who is still in a learning curve Sincerely yours,"

Testimonials
"Sam, thanks for another good and informative article. You are my great teacher."
Peter A., November 2007
"Sam, I just thought I would send you a quick email and tell you how my trading is going. On the 18th I decided to switch from the Ym to the ES. In the 6 days since then I have had 15 trades and have made 19.75 Points. I know there might be a lot of people that make more money then me but for me that is huge. I trade with 5 contracts and so that is $4937.50 in 6 days. I have read about people that trade hundreds and even thousands of contracts and even though I may never go that high this is the first time I have ever thought that maybe I could really start going up. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your articles."
Rick H., November 2007
"Excellent report, thanks Fernando... still learning the trade here, and every so often you come by bringing great lessons, like a lighthouse shining in the middle of a thick fog. Blessings of gratitude!"
Maria, March 2007
"Your market synopsis has been an invaluable tool in deciphering the directions of the market and understanding the complex undercurrents that one has to navigate through. Please keep up the good work. From one who is still in a learning curve Sincerely yours,"
Richard H., August 2003

ABOUT "DECISIONBAR"
What Makes DecisionBar® Different
Here are a few of the things that differentiate DecisionBar from other trading software:
DecisionBar places historical trading signals on your chart exactly where they would have occurred in real time, so you can review them and optimize your trades for current market conditions.
Support and resistance (supply and demand) change from minute to minute. DecisionBar automatically charts and adjusts support and resistance levels in real time.
DecisionBar generates trading signals in real time based on supply, demand, and volume, which means...
1)
Whenever the price of a security breaks a support or resistance line (called a Breakdown or Breakout)... fails to break a support or resistance line (called a Failure)... or appears to have run its course (called an Exhaustion)--you can make a decision whether you want to enter a trade or exit a trade you've already made.
2)
What's more, you can use the proprietary risk oscillator at the bottom of the DecisionBar screen for additional confirmation.
3)
You'll also receive secondary reversal warnings to notify you of potential reversals. These warnings allow you to exit trades that don't materialize before you take a loss.
Now, this next one's a "biggie," and I feel it's important to call your attention to it...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some trading software adds buy and sell signals after the fact. The signals are delayed. Then, if they happen to be wrong, the software removes the false signals to hide the evidence of the mistake. But not with DecisionBar...
All buy & sell signals are issued in real time and are not removed once they have been issued.
Yes, you read that correctly. You receive accurate buy and sell signals in real time--they are never removed. DecisionBar Trading Software pulls no punches.
Furthermore, you stay in complete control. Only enter or exit a trade if you feel 100% comfortable with your decision.
Eliminate The Stress Of High-Risk Trades
Perhaps you've been stressed to the max and have had trouble focusing during the day and sleeping at night because you're holding a high risk position. Your emotions are almost out of control.
Once you become a DecisionBar member, you too will enjoy what it's like to be in low risk/high potential trades. It's a wonderful feeling compared to the "old way" of picking trades.
The DecisionBar methodology, which is spelled out clearly in the 77-page trading manual that is included with your membership, is low risk. By following my advice, you'll never risk much money on any single trade... but you'll position yourself for big upside movements. Because the DecisionBar methodology is low risk, your whole trading experience is low stress.

Ramesh151 SAYS this, read and remember,
Trading is of course by chances, but by practice,you learn to maximise your winning chances, and learn to minimise your loosing chances,learn to escape with minimum loss whenever market turns against you.
Nothing wrong if you lost a trade,question is did you make a big loss or not.
If you did not make a big loss,then you are ok,just needs more practice,more paper trading is needed.
iF YOU ARE MAKING BIG LOSSES CONTINUOUSLY,THEN YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THE MARKET, STOP TRADING, GO FOR PAPER TRADING.
just do this simple thing
Take a chart in a time frame you like.
think that the market just opened now at 10am, you close rightside of chart witha paper. and slowly plan your trading action, by moving paper towards rightside slowly,imagine you are getting to know the market price as time is passing.
write down your actions, trade from 10 to 3-30pm using yesterday or past month chart,
remember at 11am, you can see charet only upto 11am. rest is covered and you cant see it.
do this with different charts
analyse your actions
ask yourself can i maximise profit, minimise loss?
if answer is yes then go to real time trading.
Now trade without money
you act asif you are trading with money
record your actions
find out where is your weakness
try and fix it
repeat exercise in real time chart,without money
then you decide
-------------
Happy trading
Ramesh151
Record all your trades real or fictitious,
ask yourself
1 Was it a low risk entry? is the entry near a support for buying and near resistance for short selling?
2.WAS THE REWARD TO RISK RATIO GREATER THAN 1.5?
3.DID i PLAN A STOPLOSS AS i ENTER THE TRADE?
4.DID i IMPLEMENT THE STOPLOSS?
5.DID I USE A POSITION SIZING FORMULA?
