If you are just simply new to the concept of day trading/equity trading, I am sure you can use the tutorials and other online/offline resources to learn the terminologies of trading and gain experience as you go along.

I'm not a day trader and believe in long term investing. Me and my husband both have seperate TD-Ameritrade accounts and he is very active in trading and compared to him I sit on my account and do nothing, the gains in my portfolio have always been bigger!
But that's one strategy, you have to find one which suits you, right now the market is expensive but there are always good companies so do your search first and then take a jump! All the best!

I agree with Jonav. Long term investing in companies which are sound,
and have solid and marketable products/services will reap good profits.
Obviously, you have to do your due diligence before investing. Study the company..its financial's, the prodcts or services it offers.
I use TD Waterhouse for trading. I am in the red right now, but I am very +ve that over the next 2-3 years, i will b in green and big time green.
On the trading note, do any people on this forum, actively trade biotech stocks.
I would like to get in touch with them.
Biotech stocks, specially, if a new product is in the making, tends to reap and give amazing returns, specially if you enter at the early stage of product development. if the product gets approved, then its like raining money..
BUT..BUT.. u need to know how good that product is.
Would like to know your views.

Hi,
RBC Direct Investing has practise accounts. Play the stock market with monopoly money and practise ur strategies with stocks and options.
U need an account with them or an account with RBC for activating this. No additional fees for the practise accounts.
Check the fees for maintaining the account and trading with DI though.
If u only have an account with RBC, quotes will not be realtime.
cheers..

How about the information availability in the Questrade ? any other brokerage account has more detailed information that could be used as a standby but use the discount brokerage for actual trading?

JRF...
I stumbled across this - http://www.superstockpicker.com/
I just registered with them for free today out of curiousity, so I do not know exactly what it all entails as for as info goes, but....
1. It seems to involve information on buy/sell on highly volatile stocks.
2. You could choose a model portfolio they have and follow the buy/sell, almost, on a daily basis (buy/sell alerts sent daily to your email).
3. Promising returns appear to be only if you would follow their buy/sell instructions.
