Live charts

Successful day trading requires the ability to take quick action based on market movements and that is why you should use the live charts provided You get live charts as line graph, candlestick or OHLC f Real time charts of selected stocks as well as the nifty can be found  and you have the option of viewing one day charts as well as 15 day charts.

 You can spot trend reversals using technical analysis parameters such as MACD and RSI. 200 day moving averages are also plotted in these live charts. Thus the live charts from a real treasure mine for both day traders as well as long term players.

This powerful tool allows you to base your analysis on hard numbers that are presented to you in an easy to analyze graphical format. Thus if you are a master trader comfortable with reading charts then this will prove to be the tool that can really help you with the quick ability to spot and act on market behavior patterns.

The end of day charts is a great way in which you can plan your trading strategies for the next trading session. Even if you are a novice in the field of stock trading, the live charts  help you observe how the stock prices fluctuate over time. And simple technical levels such as supports and resistances are easier understood graphically than through sheer numbers. 

Can be used to successfully predict future price movements. Even if you are a believer in fundamental analysis of stocks – understanding how the company performs and evaluating the potential of the industry in the current economic scenario, you cannot completely neglect technical analysis. The best way to gain immense profits from stock trading is to do fundamental analysis to pick the stocks that you would like to own, and then do technical analysis using charts to arrive at the right price to enter and exit the stock.

Using these charts you can easily identify the oversold and overbought levels of the nifty index as well as different stocks.

Online Stock Broker - How to Find the Best Online Stock Broker

Each broker can offer different services and features. You must research all the online brokers to find the best broker to meet your needs. I have listed a large number of online brokers and placed their information for you to read in one easy-to-read webpage.
What to look for in an online broker.

Brokerage rates – this is the rate at which you are charged for buying or selling through your online account. These rates are usually charged based on a sliding scale. The more units you purchase in a single transaction, the less the "cost per unit" you will pay. The exact sliding scale can vary and may sometimes be negotiable for larger purchases. Compare each broker and read the fine print within contracts. Pick the one that best meets your buying and selling style.

Account fees –  I know of one broker who requires an extra $10 to transfer money out of an account "quickly" as against withdrawing money normally. Hardly a fair fee, I’d say. All fees should be listed in the terms and conditions listed in opening an account.

Phone access – Interruptions to broadband services, power outages and computer problems can stop you from accessing information you need at critical points. This is why you must have phone access to your online broker. Do not even consider using an online broker if they do not provide phone access.

Access to your money – Most brokers will have a cash account facility that is linked to your trading account. My account is linked to a MasterCard account, which means I can access that money anytime through any ATM or make purchases as I would normally using a MasterCard. Don’t be misled into thinking you must only have a separate cash holding account with the online broker. There are lots of options open to you as a client and good online brokers will provide several options for your cash holding account.
 

 Some offer a limited free brokerage period. Others will offer free reports on the markets you are interested in. These bonus offers can help you getting you account established and setup a profitable trading account.
