partnerships will also be good indicators of a stock entering a period of high

To complete a momentum trade, you will need to chart the trends of the
particular stock you are interested in and, when you believe it is going to hit
momentum, wait for a gap and then enter your trade. Give the stock most of
the day to breathe so that you can reap all of the benefits of the momentum

(and your game plan for this particular stock and strategy should reflect
that) before exiting. As always, don’t forget to place your stop-loss order as
soon as you enter the trade.
Pivot Points. With the help of an abundance of charts, this particular
strategy is a fairly easy one to grasp. Essentially, pivot points take
advantage of the highs and lows of the day. Since you should be dealing
with most of the same stocks day in and day out, you will be able to chart
the highs and lows of each particular stock over the long term. However,
you will not have this added advantage when you begin day trading, so it is
advisable to review past daily charts.
In order to take advantage of this strategy, mark out the highs and lows and
then watch the daily charts like a hawk to find where you believe the lowest
or highest point is. Once you have identified that point, buy or sell as is
appropriate in order to gain a profit. In the case of buying, your profit will
come from an exceptionally low price. In the case of selling, you will want
to sell a stock for an astronomically higher price than you bought it. Take a
look at the graph above to get an idea of when to buy a stock. Note that the
“R’s” labelled on the graph represent resistance within the market (typed in
green) and the “S’s” represent support (typed in red). Although this is
actually a depiction of the first 8 months on the Dow Jones in 2009, it is
easy to see how looking at a daily, monthly, or yearly chart would help you
to determine the average highs and lows of a particular stock. Theoretically,
in this case you would have wanted to buy the stock at the very lowest point
on the chart and then sell it at the highest point, which may or may not be
represented on this graph. However, since this is day trading and you are
only dealing in the short-term, you will want to close out your position by
the end of the day.

As you can see, the strategies involved in day trading really aren’t that
difficult to grasp. Unlike options trading, they rely on a few basic principles
and are flexible to almost everyone’s needs. Where they get difficult is
when traders must keep track of multiple trades at the same time and not get
them confused. Doing so can often lead to disaster in which the trader
forgets to make his or her exit and then loses money on what would have
otherwise been a profitable trade. Avoid this by keeping a proper log of
your trades in your journal and don’t take on more than you can handle.
Study up on more strategies, as these are just the top of the iceberg, and find
which works with best with your trading style and will reap you the greatest
reward.
