Ok so for my graduation present my parents gave me 5,000$ to start day trading. I heard that futures were the best for day trading so I started there. Right now I am down to about a little over 3K and I feel that I am loosing money because I do not have a good strategy or I am not trading properly. I NEED SOME ADVICE PLEASE HELP BEFORE I LOSE ALL MY MONEY

Look for the Three Ducks Strategy on here and use some basic support and resistance with some Pivot Points and round numbers. Look at the previous 2 days high and low and you should be able to make a nice little strategy.

Watch every day for a few weeks and see what common traits you see in what ever instrument you choose.

Take the money out and put it in a bank, educate yourself, then risk the money, you seem to be doing it the other way round, by the time you learn a good strategy you'll have lost your stake.

Hotch just gave you the best advice you can get.On average It takes about 3 years of hard work to make a really good trader. I have a college education and the whole bit and believe me when I say this, " trading futures was the hardest thing I have ever had to learn, period" . You didn't get your education overnight and you won't get to ba a trader overnight either.You are up against some of the worlds best .Trade a sim account and learn from your mistakes.

get education first
do the testing
find a good mentor
learn things for 12 months
no trading
just collect others experiences
let your mentor test your sill
if he agree then begin trading
read emotionfree trading e book by larry llevin
good luck

Actually after some thought I been thinking about trading forex because it seems like the best bang for your buck and no commission fees
