Warning - ”Day Trading involves high risks and You can Lose a lot of money” day trading stocks.
Federal Trade Commission
The Federal Trade Commission has a free brochure, "Day Trading Ads: Cutting Through the Bull," and a web page that advises consumers:
There's no fail-safe way to day trade in stocks, commodity futures, options or similar investments without risk.
No computerized day trading system or advisory service can accurately predict what the price of a security, stock or bond will be on any particular day. Even day trading advisors with long histories of success can suddenly lose a fortune. Extravagant day trading profit claims and glowing day trading testimonials are likely to be exaggerated or totally fabricated.
Your best protection as a day trader or an investor is to know what you're buying, what the ground rules are when you buy and sell stocks, and what level of day trading risk you're assuming. ___________________________________

10 RISK FACTORS:
2. You should use only risk capital for trading. Market structure and competitive changes in the markets may cause formerly successful day traders to become less successful.
3. Electronic day trading involves a high volume of trading activity - the number of transactions in an account may exceed 50 trades per day. Each trade generates a commission and the total daily commission on such a high volume of trading can be excessive.
4. Day traders should strictly limit both the number of trades they do and the lot size of their trades to reduce the risk of large dollar losses during the learning process.
5. Electronic Day Trading is designed to produce short-term profits. However, the activity also may result in losses that can exceed more than 100% of your initial capital. You are solely responsible for any losses.
6. Placing contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions on the NASDAQ or any alternative trading system on which the order is placed may make it impossible to execute such orders. Similarly, using "market orders" can be very risky, since large gaps can occur in price movements of active stocks. You are urged in most instances to use limit orders.
7. Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position quickly at a reasonable price. This can occur, for example, when the market for a stock suddenly drops, or if trading is halted due to recent news events or unusual trading activity. The more volatile a stock is, the greater the likelihood that problems may be encountered in executing a transaction.
8. In addition to normal market risks, you may experience losses due to trading system failures. The firm and its clearing broker rely upon sophisticated computer trading software and hardware to execute transactions, which are subject to failure due to a variety of factors. In addition, NASDAQ and the alternative trading systems have computer systems that often malfunction. Among other events, you may experience losses due to: system crashes during both peak and low volume periods; the loss of orders on both SOES and SelectNet; and, delayed, conflicting and inaccurate confirmations on orders or cancellations that you initiate.
9. The use of any margin or leverage in an account can work against you as well as for you. Leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains. You may sustain a total loss of the initial margin funds and any additional funds that you deposit with your broker to establish or maintain a position, and you may incur losses beyond your initial investment. If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon to deposit a substantial amount of additional margin funds,
10. You should consult your broker concerning the nature of the protections available to safeguard funds or property deposited in your account. __________________________________ Day Trading RISK DISCLOSURE
Day Trading Risk Disclosure Statement - Rule 2361.
Day trading can be extremely risky. Day trading generally is not appropriate for someone of limited resources and limited investment, or trading experience and competence, and low risk tolerance. You should be prepared to lose all of the funds that you use for day trading. In particular, you should not fund day-trading activities with retirement savings, student loans, second mortgages, emergency funds, funds set aside for purposes such as education or home ownership, or funds required to meet your living expenses. Further, certain evidence indicates that an investment of less than $50,000 will significantly impair the ability of a day trader to win.
Of course, an investment of $50,000 or more will in no way guarantee success. Be cautious of claims of large profits from day trading. You should be wary of advertisements or other statements that emphasize the potential for large profits in day trading. Day trading can also lead to large and immediate financial losses.
Day trading requires knowledge of securities markets. Day trading requires in-depth knowledge of the securities markets and trading techniques and strategies. In attempting to profit through day trading, you must compete with professional, licensed traders employed by securities firms, Market Makers, and Hedge Funds. You should have appropriate experience and competence before engaging in day trading with cash.
Day trading requires knowledge of your brokerage firm's operations. You should be familiar with the firm's business practices, including the operation of the firm's order execution systems and procedures. |
