			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was sure that my brother had gone crazy when he told me he was quitting his paying job to become a full time day trader. Gerald is well known for always approaching things carefully and never doing anything in a reckless manner. He began working out of his own home office, quitting his job at the bank in less than a week. I didn&#8217;t know what to say to my brother. My brother always was my role model, so I couldn&#8217;t point out his faults.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But when I thought of my three little nieces, I decided I had to step and ask some questions. I arrived at his home one weekend and asked him what was going on? I asked him why he gave up his great job that gave him a solid income and benefits. Gerald just smiled and responded in his normal self assured manner that he was very aware and very familiar with what he was doing. At that point I nearly lost it. I told my brother I thought he was selfish and that he had to think about other people for a change. I thought twice as soon as I spoke those words, however my brother only smiled and agreed with me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>{Though I had almost no interest in the stock market, Gerald pulled me aside later that evening and insisted on explaining to me why he had decided to become a day trader.} I did not understand any of it. I wasn&#8217;t really interested in day trading or the market. Nevertheless my brother told me it wasn&#8217;t the entire black magic. He told me that there is a predictable rhyme to his reasoning. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I listened to his spiel. To begin with, he told me that making a day trade was all about paying attention to one particular stock, when you do it yourself and do not use a <a href="http://www.my-trading-robot.com">day trading robot</a> It could sometimes take watching a stock for several months before deciding if it was worth it for them to trade it. In the end, it all came down to patterns. My brother said that there were patterns that each stock moved in on a daily basis. You can&#8217;t really set your watch by these patterns, but they give a good hint to brokers about what the stock price will be in the future.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So now you know the secret to my brother&#8217;s success with money.  He never bet too heavily or put all of his eggs in one basket, but rather purchased small quantities of equities he thought would appreciate in price and watched them until it was time to sell. It was not uncommon, he said, for him to trade the same stock dozen of times a day.  In the end, a successful day trade was all about short term results and something that could be repeated several times a day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This got me interested in learning how to <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trade</a> as well.Lucky for me, my brother is a great teacher, showing me what I need to study and learn how to do in order to be successful at <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trading</a>.While I do not expect to be as successful as my brother has, if I could just get proficient enough to earn some extra money that would be great.I really am glad I took the leap and learned about trading the stock market.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When the economy started to decrease, the stock marked decreased as well which caused my portfolio to collapse. I remained awake for long that night looking several times at the numbers convinced  that I have been robbed of my money But the truth was that I had simply been caught off guard and I had paid dearly for my ignorance. As is the case with any part-time investor, I too was a layman</p>
<p>However, it is not completely our faults alone. Like millions of Americans, I was convinced by the phony experts, snake oil salesmen and hucksters who get up on cable television and convince people that they have a surefire way to make them money. As nothing attracts like easy money, I opted for the plan I listened to the advice of these so-called experts and I invested in hot stocks and did little to create a well-balanced portfolio.</p>
<p>The value of my portfolio plunged when the market crashed. I lost more than half of the value of my investments, and my wife was understandably upset. As a matter of fact, she was incredibly furious. Even though I was obviously the one who was wrong, we still engaged in many heated arguments. I also knew that money problems are the number one reason why couples split up and I worried that my wife would leave me. We both contributed money to a portfolio in which we are going to use for our childrens&#8217; college fund.</p>
<p>I had no intention of investing in another stock ever again, by that point. That was before a friend talked to me about purchasing a day trading robot. While the name sounded strange, I listened closely. {I was still terribly embarrassed by my previous investing failures and I was hoping to redeem myself in the eyes of my wife.|I was still feeling burned by my prior failures and did not need to further embarass myself.}</p>
<p>&#8220;I am not interested in anything that promises wealth in a hurry&#8221;, I remarked to my friend.</p>
<p>Many investors have found a <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trading robot</a> most reliable , having made millions of dollars in a few years through it.  I queried him to continue and he said that the robot is simply software that assists investors to identify great deals in the market. </p>
<p>&#8220;<a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">Day trading</a>,&#8221; he said, &#8220;can be a risky venture, and even the best need tools to help them avoid risk and take advantage of good deals.&#8221; He went on to explain that day trading was not, in fact, about making a million dollars in a single day, that only happened in the movies. Instead, it&#8217;s about making tiny profits many times a day that add up. And that, he assured me, was what a day trading robot could do for me.</p>
<p>The most helpful thing that <a href="http://www.my-trading-robot.com">day trading robot</a> software can do is to help take emotion out of the equation. Often, both new and experienced day traders get too invested emotionally in a stock, and can&#8217;t admit when they are wrong. As a result they lose money by hanging on to it for much to long. The robot software recommends stocks that are trading for discounts, and tells you when to get in or get out.</p>
<p>A lengthy discussion with my friend made me lay my hand on day trading robot I purchased one online and started out slowly. I made a few mistakes but then the cash started rolling in. In less than a month our portfolio is up nearly ten percent and the wife no longer makes me camp out on the couch. I owe it all to my day trading robot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Investors who know what they are doing are always looking for ways to make money. It is practically an American institution. But there&#8217;s a reason why they call it a scheme, which typically means a devious or secret plan of action. Most schemes that promise to make you millions by day trading, are about as likely as winning in roulette. Ya, it is correct that many day trading systems are few more that informed gambling, but they are gambling all the same. Day trading itself is a form of gambling, as you are betting you can time the stock to enter and exit in a few minutes or seconds with a profit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What will it take to make a good day trade? For starters, you have to know that easy money is a non-existent term. You should not approach day trading with the expectation you will make millions. Day trading basic idea is to make a little profit many times a day and it will add up. An experienced day trader will not risk too much on any one day trade. Instead, they buy small numbers of shares of companies that they&#8217;re familiar with.</p>
<p>How can you figure out which stocks you should trade? Most traders will select stocks that they have been following for quite some time. After reviewing all the numbers and watching them for weeks at a time, a trader may eventually gain the confidence to start trading a stock.</p>
<p>Though there are a number of different strategies that day traders employ, most <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trading</a> strategies rely heavily on technical analysis. Technical stock analysis means that traders believe that he can detect patterns in the way a stock trades by looking at charts. Most days you may discover a certain stock will move in a tight trading range. This may mean that a stock moves only two or three points every day. For example, one day it can open at 33, move to 36, then fall to 34. It is the job of the day trader to keep tabs on these trades and see if he can discern a predictable pattern in these daily movements.Learning to watch and pay attention to these types of regular volatility patterns will really pay off in the long term for anyone looking to day trade.The real key is to try to concentrate on just a few select stocks in the beginning so that you do not go down the path of information overload.</p>
<p>This method may seem easy, but it works. All a trader has to do is to concentrate on one particular stock and watch its movements each and every day. It won&#8217;t take very long before the trader will feel able to take on making a <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trade</a>. While this strategy may not may you a millionaire overnight, it is likely that you will be able to amass small profits several times a day, which will eventually add up. It isn&#8217;t unusual for day traders to trade the exact same stock over a hundred times each day.  This is because they believe they have discovered the secret to the successful day trade and that the more they trade the more they will make.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Figuring out the proper stop loss when day trading, whether experienced or novice, is always a tricky subject. One thing is most certain, those traders that consistently do not use stop loss orders face almost a 100% chance of losing a significant amount of money, if not all of it. Even the prudent use of stops, if they are placed in the wrong area, will result in consistent losses no matter how good the stock idea is. In addition, adding positions before market moving news events occurs can assure increased volatility and increased odds of stopping out.</p>
<p> The main thing to keep in mind is CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS &#8211; I cannot stress this enough. Not what the Dow Jones Average is doing, it is what many stocks are doing overall and how they are trading. What is the volatility level &#8211; are they slow and steady or whipping up and down on the slightest market move? This makes a huge difference is not only your stop, but the risk level involved. Most people assess risk by the amount one can lose when using a <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trading robot</a> or just trading on their own with chart setups. What most people fail to think about is the actual odds of that loss happening.</p>
<p> While there is no sure fire way to figure out odds, if you watch what other stocks are trading like you can get a pretty good idea. If current conditions are calm, you can usually use a smaller stop amount and still have decent oddsit will not get hit. When more volitile conditions are present, using a smaller stop is a really bad idea because of the significantly higher odds that even a smaller than normal oscillation in price will hit your stop.</p>
<p> The way you figure the odds in a stop happening when <a href="http://www.mystocktradingrobot.com">day trading</a> is somewhat straightforward. Look at the average range high to low over the last 20 minutes. Do not pick the most calm period of time, as this tends to not stay constant. If the price action currently is very flat and calm, go back on the chart to a more volatile time of the day or prior day and then figure out the range. It does not need to be an exact amount, we are just looking for an approximation. Once you have measured this range, this becomes your maximum risk.</p>
<p> What the best thing to do is to try to lower the max amount to a much lower level. This can be done 2 ways. The first way is to study the pattern of trading behavior for that stock locallly when it reaches a prior high level &#8211; does it normally fade back or does it have momentum and push through? If it tends to push (last few times it reached a high turn point), then its ok to buy the stock on strength. If it tries to sell, or looks like a fade back &#8211; wait for it to push and then put your order in at 1/4 of the range computed, but lower than the high its at currently. So if the range was 1.00, and the current price is at around 40 now, you would look to place your order at 39.75 to put on a long. You will most likely miss some trades doing it this way, but have to ignore the urge to chase the prices. If a similar pattern is occurring on a lot of other stocks (in general) you have to be extra careful.</p>
<p> The second way to lower the risk is to split your order into 2 parts. So if your trade size you want is 500 shares, just buy 200 shares now. Wait until it pushes a decent amount up (meaning it has pushed enought that it has moved past the fade the breakout move area), then look to add the other 300 on a 5 or 10c dip. Move your stop price up higher .45 now (figuring you have a 1.00 stop to start) on the whole thing. The other alternative, if the market tends to fade the push moves, is to buy 200 shares now, then put the balance of your order .25 above your stop (assuming it is 1.00). The maximum stop loss level should remain the same on all the accumulated shares. The difference here is if market conditions get poor for going long when <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trading</a> for a period of time, you are going to lose a lot more averaging when its selling because you will get filled on the add, then stopout 2 minutes later on all of it.</p>
<p> The easiest way around this situation is to lower your share size &#8211; when upredictability sets in, trade only 1/2 your normal size. The name of the game to being more profitable is to preserve capital with stops, and secondly to place the stops in the right way to avoid making a loss too easy for the market to hit. While its impossible to tell when conditions improve unless you are actually trading, there is nothing wrong with playing less shares until you see it look better over time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a year ago (May 2008) My Trading Robot day trading service was <a href="http://www.prlog.org/10242223-my-trading-robot-reaches-1-year-milestone-prepares-launch-of-new-services.html">launched</a>.My Trading Robot allows traders to follow along in real time as it day trades live each day.  The robot day trades stocks that are in the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indexes.   Added features to improve the day trading experience over the last year include allowing users to create custom watch lists that can be saved and loaded when needed,  improvements in the statistics associated with each signal, and enhancing the display of information to include maximum draw downs while a trade is active.</p>
<p> &#8220;I am very excited to celebrate the 1 year anniversary,&#8221;  its founder said, &#8220;The robot has been extremely consistent, and has adapted to this very difficult market with ease.  It still finds a ton of nice winners each day, and the best part is it is so simple to use.As far as I know, My Trading Robot is still the only real time information service that broadcasts robot trades to users over instant messenger.&#8221;</p>
<p> My Trading Robot <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trading software</a> is fully hosted, so there is nothing for users to download or install.  In fact, it is probably the easiest software for day trading anyone has ever used.  All you have to do is make a watch list and then the robot will trade your watch list in real time for you.  The robot broadcasts its entry signals, exit prices and stop losses over instant messenger in real time.Additionally, a majority of the entry prices for each trade are done using stops that are away from the current market which gives traders plenty of time to look at the idea.</p>
<p> &#8220;I am busy working to implement some terrific additions, which will include a low price trading service that will day trade stocks priced from 1 to 12 dollars a share only,&#8221;  Trader X said, &#8221; and also at the same time My Trading Robot is launching a swing trading service for those who do not have the time to day trade or it is just does not suit them.&#8221;  These should be online soon and available to all users.  Every member of My Trading Robot will have full access to all three products, and they will all work in the same way by sending signals over instant messenger.</p>
<p> My Trading Robot <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trading robot</a> is currently still in beta (ending soon) and is free to all users who wish to sign up and try it out.  Historical archives for all day trading activity can be found at http://www.my-trading-robot.com</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now more than ever in the markets, computers are taking over.There are computer programs to execute orders, scalp and arbitrage 1000s of times a day, and even programs and tools designed to exploit the weaknesses of other tools that are in the market.  There are hundreds of companies that have created sophisticated charting packages to help day traders find ideas, including <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trading robot</a>s.All of this leads in the same direction &#45; computers and trading are here to stay, and its up to you to figure out what the best tools are to use to make money.</p>
<p>This does not mean throw thousands of dollars at every &quot;hot&quot; product &#45; this usually does nothing to generate anything useful.Additionally, each day trader can only focus on so many things at the same time, you do not need overload as that can actually backfire and make it far worse.  Some people like to use a <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trading robot</a> to help, others like to put together a set of indicators with some basic useage rules and that works for them.  The bottom line is you need a decent regimen that is followed to generate ideas that is not based on a whim or a hunch.  Those are not consistent at all and are not able to be proven as valuable in the long run because of the sporadic nature of how that works.</p>
<p>When it comes to computer tools to help you, there is an additional thing to consider:  you can get a program that allows you to custom write your own rules and indicators and then apply them in real time.This is a good options if you are a more experienced trader and have the programming knowledge &#40;or want to learn&#41; to get the job done.  This can be very very time consuming, and often you can spend hours or days of work only to discover that the theory you are testing is not valid and all the work is wasted.  In fact, if you go down this path, this will happen quite often but is part of the learning and development process.  Some day traders who go down this path will do part of it themselves, then get an outside person to help them finish some difficult parts.  Indicators are quite simple as far as complexity, and then you have the other end of the spectrum which is <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">a day trading robot</a> which usually is quite complex because of all the parts that go into creating such a tool, so plan your time accordingly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once you get through all the books and courses you might take to learn to trade, it comes down to finding quality ideas in a timely fashion.  Some people subscribe to chat rooms with other traders, some people like to watch real time news, and others like to program computers to scan the market or use a <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trading robot</a> to help them find ideas in real time to make money.</p>
<p> One key advantage to a day trading robot is its ability to be unbiased and apply the same set of rules every time.  The real key is finding a <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trading robot</a> that is reliable in its stock picks and is easy to use.  Of course, this is no easy task as there are a lot of imposters out there or more likely, stuff that used to work but no longer does because of changing market conditions that the day trading robot cannot adapt to.</p>
<p> One key component of any <a href="http://www.my-trading-robot.com">day trading robot</a> that should be essential is the ability to find stuff in real time, but give you enough time to actually act on the information it provides.  It does no good to use a day trading robot that scalps something so fast that you cannot even get an order in should you choose to follow what it is doing.  Of course in this situation, you could just let the day trading robot trade your account for you, but I know a lot of traders are really uncomfortable with that notion and they like to retain control.  In addition, there are always nuances that occur each trading day that a computer program cannot take into account but a human trader can.</p>
<p> Overall, anyone looking to use a day trading robot to help find ideas should realize the limitations and the fact that it should only be used as a tool to enhance a traders own judgement and trading prowess.It is fantasy land to expect a trading robot to be right 90-95% of the time, or for it to make 40% every month in your account.Anyone who has created such a tool would never in a million years license it or sell it because of the amount of money it would generate.In order to get the maximum benefit from using a day trading robot, you need to have realistic expectations for performance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When putting money into the stock market, whether <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trading</a> or longer term most people worry about the entry. Is the stock too high? Will it keep going lower? Will it be affected at all by market conditions?</p>
<p>These are all valid points, and all play an integral part in any trade or investment. The one thing almost no one takes into account is where and how do I exit a trade, and this question is valid for a <a href="http://www.mytradingrobot.com">day trade</a>, swing trade (few days or weeks), or a long term investment (3 months to multi years). I would argue that the exit is more important than the entry. Sure if you screw up and really do buy at the wrong time &#40;shorting also, but that is another topic&#41; you can be assured of a loss. However, more often than not, people are pretty good at entry of stocks, assuming they are not chasing hype and have been patient with their method. The place that usually gets messed up is the exit. They have no rules. Once you start making money, greed can take over. &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to sell too early, it might keep going,&#8221; or &#8220;The last time I sold when I made xx amount, I could have made 10 times that much.&quot; Every entry, BEFORE even placed, should have an exit strategy.</p>
<p>Exit strategies can include the following, and apply to everyone from an exper to those who want to <a href="http://www.stock-trading-info.com">learn to trade</a>:</p>
<p>1. Trailing Stop &#45; an exit price which is below the peak gain acheived &#40;for longs&#41; that follows the price up and will exit the position if it starts to go against you. The trail will follow the price up higher, but usually does not move down.You can also trail the price by either a percent below peak or close, or a point value below the low of a just completed bar on a chart.</p>
<p>2. Scale Out &#45; Take the trade and then get out of a portion of it at fixed gain intervals. One example &#40;especially for investing longer term&#41;, if you own a stock and get a gain of 25&#37;, sell 1/4 of the position. Once it rises to 50% gain on the balance, sell 1/2 of what you have left. You have now locked in a 25&#37; gain on your original purchase. The balance should be at most locked at breakeven &#40;meaning if it starts to sell, never let it go to a loss&#41;. On the balance, if the stock takes off strongly after a 50% gain, look to sell the balance and move on. For intraday stuff, usually you will want to scale out of half after a decent push of say 1/2&#37; and move your stop up on the balance.</p>
<p>3. Forever Investment &#45; If you have an investment that you think is a super deal longer term and you are lucky enough to get a 100&#37; gain on it, immediately sell 1/2. Why? Because once you sell 1/2, you have done a superb thing. You have retrieved your original investment out of it, all the money, and still have 50% working. Even better, no matter what, even if the company goes bankrupt, you cannot lose. Ever. Take that 50&#37; you have out, and try to find two other ideas that might do the same. One thing every investor should keep in mind is the rarity of Walmart and Home Depot type companies. Even if you have locked in this part, be aware that tons of companies do superb for years, then the market changes and they bite the dust. It is super rare to find a new Proctor&amp;Gamble or Microsoft. In addition to other rules, you should also have a &quot;lock it in&quot; price if acheived you will just take the gain and get out of all of it.</p>
<p>4. Price Target &#8211; figure out from entry where you simply will just get out. One example might be that you purchase a stock at 16, and would be very happy if it went up to 19 in a few months. So that is your exit. Price targets are entirely dependent on expected hold time and should grow the longer you plan to hold the stock &#40;within reason&#41;. The key to remember here is you have to take what the stock is capable of doing, not what you want the stock to do.Price targets can be made by looking at support and resistance as well.  In general, if the stock has to push a decent amount to your target, and your target you want is just beyond a resistance point, you should move the target down to underneath the resistance for a better chance of hitting it.</p>
