What is your typical day trading like?

I am just curious about how others day trade. Do you buy and sell stocks with certain criteria, such as above 10+ dollars or more.... How do you decide to enter and exit a trade?? If you don't mind sharing.

As you can tell, most of us answer back with jokes or other type of banter, cause we take you being a newbie and really we understand most of whatever we say, you will not understand, it be like most of us sitting and listening to Einstein on how they made the atomic bomb in his language of science. We be like deer in headlights, just sitting there trying to understand and those who know the language and the science sitting behind us are taking notes. As much as what most think we do is just buy/sell at breakouts or break ins, there is much one has to learn, and more importantly memorize as in breathing patterns when not to take trades, exit early, even though you have a signal to enter-left of now might be alerting those who can read charts not to take viable signal. SO spend couple years reading about charting, then it is hands on of doing, this may sound old fashion, but get some graph paper and make your own charts by hand even though we all have computers to look, not like really learning than doing. Like digging a hole, you can watch other people do it, but you gain 1000% more information when doing it.

Just breezing through (on this very very busy day...) but wanted to add,

"Neat post."
 
I ve done this for about 12 years in total..with a four year break from 2010 to 2014. The closest that I am able to describe it is that one gets the sense that they are competing or trading against mind reading devils. I ll try to find something from Paradise Lost that might describe the overall sense of where one might find themselves some days or weeks. There are times when things go surprisingly well for stretches and personal energies restored .
 
Right. Copy/Paste "Heroes" never sleep.

Okay guys. You forced my hand. I will do exactly as you say galvinlee888. Beginning today I will post my trade as I take it. Seeing that it will then be public knowledge, there will be no opportunity for copy/paste. I'm so nervous. So afraid of being exposed.
Not really. My suggestion to you, if you desire too make money, pay attention. Follow the trades closely.
Let the games begin....

I just noticed this bit in your post from Friday, Handle...OMG you masochist! The thought of doing this makes me wince! Imagine a one minute chart, with real-time data! Lol, you heathen!
