www.CandleStickForums.com Start Stock Trading How does one start stock trading? Stock traders must know the same fundamentals of the stock market and stock investing as investors. In addition traders must learn the techniques of technical analysis and hone their skills at the trade station for day trading . A good way to start stock trading is to become a member of a stock trading forum such as Candlestick Forum. Candlestick Forum members benefit from numerous online stock trading webinars on subjects such as Intro Trading with Options, Day Trading patterns, or Scanning Techniques. Members of the Candlestick Forum benefit from following daily stock picks by Stephen Bigalow both in seeing how to choose stocks to trade and how to analyze stocks. Traders start stock trading with the necessary investment capital and can leverage their investments in a variety of ways. A margin account allows a trader to buy stock and sell stock in larger quantities than with his own capital alone. The trader will deposit a minimum amount, commonly $25,000, or more in an account with a stock broker . With margin requirements running at fifty percent this will allow the trader to trade with $50,000 when he has a $25,000 margin account deposit. When the trader makes trades that exceed his portion of the account he borrows from the broker and pays interest. When a trader decides to start stock trading with a margin account he needs to remind himself that trading on a two to one margin can double his profits in trading stocks and can also double his losses. By using Candlestick analysis traders can profitably read market sentiment, increase the likelihood of profits, and avoid the losses that lead to a dreaded margin call.
