>>1789666I'm not a pro trader by any means, but from what I understand, you want to stick to technicals and fundamentals. Technicals means looking at indicators that the stock will be rising soon based on a "technical" approach, such as a specific candle stick formation on it's chart, a low RSI (relative strength index, which means the stock is trading lower than what it normally does), low and crossing MACD lines (basically, the stock is at a lower price and more people are now buying it than selling it, thus the price will be going up). Fundamentals are much less pragmatic and focus more on news and previous market trends/patterns. For example, stocks prices generally rise before a companies earnings call. You can buy a couple of days before the call, ride the rise, then sell before the call (I recommend selling because if it's a bad earnings call, the price will generally plummet). "Buy the rumor, sell the news." I generally use technicals, so I'm not as familiar with fundamentals, though I do basic research to ensure the company isn't currently being sued, isn't in massive debt, or hasn't had multiple leadership changes. That stuff may be less important for a day trader looking for a quick buck though. I enjoy watching Ziptrader and market gains on youtube. Kamikazecash is also pretty entertaining, and often shows examples of people destroying their accounts. There are hundreds of trading strategies. Once you pick a strategy, then you can use a scanner to find picks. A scanner is a tool that looks for your particular setup across the stock market (ziptrader has a vid on his and how to set it up). You tell it you want at least 200k volume (so you won't have problems selling it), priced between $1 and $30, with currently a low RSI rating, and that has a positive long term EMA (estimated moving average, this means that the stock has experienced a general uptrend over the last year or six months). You get a list of stocks and start researching.
