Well, I don't really know how people day trade. I don't like to short. Scared I guess. I try to find a few stocks that seem to have a pattern over a time frame, and will trade that until the pattern changes. Then, I look for others. But, you still have to be mindful of what is happening in general in the market, the news around the globe, price of the dollar, oil, gold, and etc. I try to look at all. I have a streamer with several full pages, that I flip back and forth, but in general, I am comfortable playing one or two stocks, in and out until it seems to exhaust itself. I would love it, if others explained how they do it. I have no formal training at all, just kinda watch patterns.......that keeps it simple for me.
