Introduction Compact

The purpose of this thread is to review some of the basic concepts in
daytrading. I hope this thread can be an interactive learning environment for all of us. Newer traders will be able to use the information in this thread to bypass many of the most common mistakes made during the ‘learning curve' in daytrading. I encourage the more experienced daytraders to work with me to help make this possible. In the process, I'm sure we will all learn and benefit from the discussion.

Please feel free to ask questions. Hopefully, myself or another poster will be able to provide a useful answer. I am maintaining a second thread strictly to provide a place to easily find key pieces of information posted on this thread.
