Small Cap stocks is stock category of companies which has low market capitalization, Or companies which are growing fast but donot satisfy terms to be categorised in Midcaps or large-caps, majority of Large-cap or Midcap companies were once small caps. Now market capitalization cap for small caps differ in different stock markets and is different in various countries, for instance Company with market capitalization between $ 300 million to $ 2 billion today might be termed as samll cap in USA. whereas in India it might be midcap stock. In general investing in small caps is considered as more riskier then investing in blue-chip(large cap) stocks because the company is in growing mode hence while investing in small caps one should know about the promoters capabilities of the company befor making any investing decision into small cap stocks.

3 best Stock Tips for day trading/traders

Share |

I always like long term investment strategies and always back them, however many of the stock investors invest for short terms and many do day trading of stocks to earn fast buck, which may not give high percent returns but is surely fruitful if done with great acumen and with the correct stocks.

Day trading of stocks is a risky affair as it doesnot follow any basics of stock investing and is mainly done on gut feeling and risk taking abilities of the potential investors. There are several important tips which are very vital for doing day trading, Adding that Indian Stock markets are highly volatile so these stock tips for day trading become even more important to follow, so that the risk is minimised.

So here are the 3 day trading tips which a intraday trader must know for minimising the loss. These Intrady trading tips would surely help those who are yet to start with day trading or who is already a day trader.

1. Stop Price - The most important stock tip for day trading is that one must know the nearest resistance level of the stock on the lower side and should always use stop limit in such case, A stop will be triggered when the stock price goes below the stop price. It is basically you are defining a selling price at which the stocks would be sold thus saving your losses incase the stock price nosedives further. If you are not sure about the brought stock then the best option is to use Stop Price.

2. If you own a stock which has gone up sharply but with very less volume traded then you need to sell this stock as something is fishy in such case, the reason is that because only few people purchased but don't have reason and because of big move other persons(which already have the stock) will be interested in selling the stock after this big rise, that's why the stock will probably go down on selling hence you can be in losers list. If there is large volume traded for a stock, then go by the other investors and just follow what the other people having same stock are following.

3. Uptick rule for day trading - When you put a market order to sell a stock, you need an uptick to be executed. If this don't happen and the stock
continue to fall, and fall again and after 2% down an uptick occur, you will be executed at that price. With this you will either miss big moves because limit order or loose money because big slippage.

Intraday trading is on the rise but we cant expect huge returns immediately, It is a risky affair, but if we strictly follow these golden rules for intraday trading then we can minimise the risk of making loss even in intraday trading of stocks.

Intraday stock trading has many merits then the long term investment some of them i have written below:

1) You will have to pay less Brokerage.

2) Everyday you can do fresh trading according to the market trend because everyday market trend is different.

3) After stock market closing, no body can predict next day's market opening.

4) There is no need to pay any carry forward margin.

5) In intraday you can trade good volume with low risk.

Following are the rules whihc an intraday trader should/can follow for minimising the risk of making a loss in share trading:

1) Donot overtrade beyond your financial capacity and donot hurry in making profits, always have some reserve money.

2) Diversify your intraday investments into different sector stocks, this minimises the risk, for example if a person had invested in IT stocks before recession started then he would have been worst affected by his decision.

3) You can follow the trend of the market to be more safe with the investment, These trends are started by the brokerage houses which passively control the working of the stock markets as a whole, thus you can follow what they say, but not blindly.

4) Dont be to greedy - In share markets and intraday trading you cant expect profit everyday, just invest inside your budget.

5) Profit should be used for purchasing the stocks in future as this would help in securing your principal amount and you can build further on the profits.

6) Dont trade intraday if you are not clear about it.

7) Do not average out in our share tips when market is not in favour. Limit your losses by keeping a stop loss order - Never cancel a stop loss order after you have placed it, otherwise you may loose more.

8) Intraday trading is more fruitful if you trade only in high volume stocks.

9) Focus on short selling instead of long term investment.

10) Follow your instincts and not thr rumours as rumours in stock markets are very dangerous for your hard earned money.

11) You should consider the other input costs like brokerage rate in intraday trading as the profit margins are lower in intraday trading.
