Online Trading Back to School Primer
VisiTrade joins the ranks of online trading programs with an excellent ‘how to’ trade site. This demonstration is very helpful in understanding how market makers work AND how to work around them.
Link here for VisiTrade’s demonstration.
This proposed online trading platform works on the Alphatrade.com website which has more than 375,000 active online traders. This should attract many interested traders to sign up for VisiTrade’s unique 24/7 services. Cutting out the market maker is an appealing direction for many traders.
Online trading is expected to increase by 48% in the next five years, according to Forrester Research Inc. Today, some 8.6 million households are trading online. That’s projected to rise to 12 million by 2011, or roughly 10% of the total.
Resources for students of investing and trading:
The Investors Free Internet: How to invest in the U.S. stock market using free information from the Internet, published by Investors Internet ( www.investorsinternet.com ). This book provides information on a variety of free investment sites on the Internet, and how the information on each site can be used. The authors picked their favorite freebies from the 2,000 sites they studied, then put together this guide on how to find, organize, synthesize and use the information available. The book can be purchased at its Website, as can a variety of subscription services based on the researchers’ findings. The book is $37.50; subscription services range from free to $29.97 per month.
Investors Help is a CD-based course on chart reading and investment research. The designers estimate it would take about four hours to go through the material provided, after which the student would be prepared to analyze stock-price movements and predict price swings. Topics include charts, trend lines, channel lines, level lines and various forms of moving averages, as well as analyzing income statements, balance sheets, cash-flow statements and other fundamentals. If you’re new to the concepts of technical and fundamental analysis, the videos are helpful. There is a heavy focus on stock-price shifts, and how to predict them. InvestorsHelper is available at the company’s Website ( www.investorshelper.com ) for $29.95. The CD includes a charting package called the Playground; it features the basic technical studies covered in the lessons.
It’s possible to find all of the technical-charting capabilities included in the Playground free at sites such as Prophet.net and Stockcharts.com, along with explanations. The CD explains “how to,” but does not explain “why to.”
GAIN Capital ( www.gaincapital.com ) offers an online course for novice currency traders, called “Learn to Trade Forex.” This course, which can be found at www.learn-to-trade-forex.com , gives the student 60 days of access to course materials. Along with the program, students receive a demo trading account with $25,000 in virtual funds, allowing them to apply lessons learned.
Analytical Platform Updates: Townsend Analytics has added the Nasdaq’s market-data product, TotalView, to its RealTick trading platform ( www.realtick.com ).
TotalView provides market transparency by showing the complete depth of the Nasdaq market at all price levels, including the aggregated size of all quotes and orders available for execution in the Nasdaq Market Center for each Nasdaq National Market and SmallCap stock. It also includes multiple attributed quotes for each Nasdaq market participant, and net-order-imbalance information for Nasdaq Opening and Closing cross-eligible securities. TotalView provides very fast Nasdaq order-book information as Nasdaq has made technology investments to reduce TotalView’s latency by more than 75%, to an average of less than 50 milliseconds.
ESignal, which provides streaming, real-time financial market data, news, analytics and decision support tools to professional and individual traders, has added Nymex Direct to its futures-data platform, FutureSource Xtra. A Web-based Java application, FuturesSource Xtra supplies the commodities, financial futures and foreign-exchange trading community with real-time market data, decision support systems and services covering a broad range of markets.
FutureSource builds its offerings from several core features, including streaming real-time quotes from over 50 worldwide exchanges, real-time interactive tick charting, full options coverage and news feeds delivered immediately on demand.
