No it's not. When you trade more than 4 times in a one week period  it is considered day-trading. The FTC controls how daytraders work. I've read before that you must have at least $25,000 I think to daytrade legally. Their are a lot of rules regarding daytrading. Trust me if you put 500 bucks into an account and start buying and selling everyday, on the third day, someone will contact you with a warning explaining everything.\n Just do a quick search on daytrading. I believe im pretty close the the right answer on this.

A day when three types of derivative contract (futures or options) on the same underlying asset are exercised. Since trading in underlying intensifies prior to exercise of derivative, there's a lot of trade in this asset, which increases volatility, which means even more trade, etc.\n\nThe reason is that value of derivative is directly linked to price of underlying at exercise date, so large player try to influence the price via buying (price up) or selling (price down) of underlying.

Create a query and paste this into it's SQL sheet:\n\nSELECT tblData.TICKER, tblData.DATE, tblData.CLOSE, (SELECT Sum([CLOSE])/Count([ticker]) AS Expr1 FROM tblData AS sub WHERE \n(((sub.TICKER)=[tblData]![Ticker]) AND ((sub.DATE) Between [tbldata]![date]-19 And [tbldata]![date]));) AS avg20 FROM tblData;\n\nIt will show the 20-day average for each stock for each date, but if there are fewer days of data available for a stock, it will show a real average for those days.\n\nI don't know what's causing the "..." in the middle of the SQL, but just replace it with "er]) "\n\nThis is what's called a Subquery

Intra-day trading is certainly for professionals. It takes a lot of committment but it is very possible for you to earn a great living. But it is just as easy to lose it all.\n\nIt requires a lot of time in front of the computer.\n\nBasically if you want ot day trade - in and out of a trade on the same day - well you have to be dependent on technicals as well as any news that the market is awaiting or is absorbing. and for private investors this up to date news is hard to obtain.\n\nTechnical charting day charts - make sure you have all the indicators in your system present as well as all the time scales that only cover the day: ticks. 1 minute, 2 minute, 5 minute, 1/2 hour, 1 hour.\n\nNot all indicators work in this short term environment.

What you are hoping to capture by buying a calendar spread is the decay of the first expiring option relative to the decay of the second. Read "Options as a Strategic Investment".\n\nA short term option loses its time value faster than a longer term option. So, if the decay on the longer is a penny a day...and the decay on the shorter option is 1/8 a day...you are capturing 11 1/2cents per day and protecting yourself in case of a big market move. Is it a given that you'll make money??? Absolutely not. Every time you think that, think to yourself "there are a million other people out there that have thot about this for at least 25 years...chances are I am not thinking anything original" !

Par value of an equity (a stock) is a somewhat archaic concept. The par value of a stock was the share price upon initial offering; the issuing company promised not to issue further shares below par value, so investors could be confident that no one else was receiving a more favorable issue price. This was far more important in unregulated equity markets than in the regulated markets that exist today.

As far as I know, you buy the stock at a certain price. Example, you buy a share of yahoo stock for about $30. You watch as the price of the stock goes up and down. Let's say that the next day, yahoo's stock price goes up to $31. Then, if you only bought one stock, you would GAIN $1 (if you sold it then, but let's pretend u didnt). To get your total gain, you would multiply the change in the stock price and the number of shares you bought. So if you bought 10 shares of yahoo stock, and the price went up $1, you would have gained $10.\nNow, for the LOST. Let's say that the stock price for yahoo stock went down the next day to $29. That means you LOST $1, NOT $2, because you bought the stock for $30. So $29 - $ 30 is -$1. (The negative means you lost money) \n\nSO overall, to get your change in stock price, you subtract the stock price of that day to the stock price in which you bought it from. (E.g. $29 - $30 in my above example) And if you bought more than one share, which is what happens 99% of the time, then you multiply the change in stock price and the number of shares you have. Negative means you LOST money, and positive means you GAINED money.\n\nAm I helping? Sorry, if your still confused, contact me, and I will be happy to straighten out any confusion I may have caused.

A stock market is a market for the trading of company stock, and derivatives of same; both those securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately.\n \nAlthough common, the term 'the stock market' is a somewhat abstract concept for the mechanism that enables the trading of company stocks. It is also used to describe the totality of all stocks, especially within one country, for example in the phrase "the stock market was up today", or in the term "stock market bubble".\n\nIt is distinct from a stock exchange, which is an entity (a corporation or mutual organization) in the business of bringing buyers and sellers of stocks together. For example, 'the stock market' in the United States includes the trading of stocks listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ, and Amex, and also on the OTCBB and Pink Sheets.

Day trading is buying and selling of a particular stock many times throughout the day.  Throughout the day, a stock price may change due to several things, such as volume (others buying or selling).  Day traders try to take advantage of this by buying the stock on the low swings, and selling it on the high swings.  It usually takes a lot of money to do this in order to make it worth your while.  Day traders often do this with several stocks at once.  \n\nMost on line brokers require a minimum cash account of around ten thousand dollars for you to day trade.  I can't remember the rules exactly, but Ameritrade, considers day trading as buying or selling of the same stock within a couple days.  And if you have two or three instances of this, they classify you as a day trader.\n\nStock options are something that employers offer to make a job more desirable.  Usually offering company stock on top of their normal pay.  Having stock in a company you work for also makes you care more about your company.

It is reasonable for a web site to display daily highs and lows for specific securities, but the validity of such figures for a portfolio of multiple securities is questionable.\n\nA simplified approach would be just to add up all the daily highs for each security and show that as the daily high of the portfolio, and do the same for the daily lows, but since the different securities were presumably traded independently during the day, unless the software has records of every trade for every security for the full day, it is impossible to know what the value of the portfolio was at any time, and the software cannot know the true max and min values.

Insider trading is when anybody uses information that is not public to give them an advantage in trading stocks.  For example:  An employee of a company finds out that the company is going to file for bankruptcy tomorrow, so he goes and sells all his stock, but that information isn't public.  Insider trading is strictly illegal.
