Tools Of The Daytrading Trade
Because I’m the owner of StockJumper, a big message board on the Internet, people ask me about many topics every day. Something a lot of people inquire about is “What stock trading software do I use, and what other resources do I recommend?” They ask about a whole range of other things too, like brokers, my picks, and even general interest about my family.
I figured I would answer a few of these questions in a public form so hopefully I wont have to answer them repeatedly.
Brokers: There are only one or two investing programs that I really feel that I can strongly back: MBTrading or CyberTrader, with a strong personal bias for MBTrading. My bias is based simply on past experience. Keep in mind we are talking day trading here, not investing. The major things you need to look for is speed of execution and customer service when you’re choosing a provider for daytrading. Many people are really concerned with commissions, but that train of thought can cost you in the end. These companies are very competitive now, and the fee structures are not that varied any longer. Poor execution and inadequate customer service can cost you many times more than the savings you might realize by using the wrong broker.
I often make the somewhat silly analogy of “trying to trade with anything other then a fast, point and click day trading system like MBTrading or CyberTrader, is like trying to win the Indianapolis 500 with your family mini-van.” Be cautious also of people who make recommendations of their own discount broker. Most have never even seen an MBTrading or CyberTrader system. Suffice to say, the differences are drastic.
Quotes and Data Feed: Certain brokers that you choose will require that you provide your own live data feed. The easiest (and probably best) thing to do in that situation is find out what the broker recommends. It’s likely that they have had experience with a lot of different data feeds and know what works best with their system. However, who ever you do choose, make sure you have real time charting, Level II quotes for both the NASDAQ “and” the Dow listed stocks.
