THERE ARE MORE THAN YOU THINK!
When selecting a stock market to trade there are many things a day trader must consider. First off, any stock market in the world can be a great one to day trade.
As long as the stock market itself is eligible for day trading. The stock market must allow you to settle both your buys and sells on the same trading day.
There are some stock markets in Asia that do not allow you to do this, but overall roughly sixty percent of the world stock markets will allow day trading.
- A trader must make sure they do his or her research about the overall stock market to ensure this is possible.
- A day trader must make sure that they have all the tools necessary to trade.
- The trader must make sure that his or her trading platform can trade the stock market. The trading platform must have connections to the market for execution and local stock quotes.
- The trader has to make sure that he or she has access to news and stock charts for stocks in that market. To be a successful day trader, you must make sure you do not have an informational disadvantage to other traders in that stock market.
