I bought some stock shares and then, a couple of weeks later, realized what I wanted my long-term stock-trading strategy to be, and this stock does not fit my strategy. I bought the shares in August, and it is now October. How soon can I sell these shares without incurring the tax penalty for selling them too quickly? Do I have to hold them for a year, or is 45 days all that is required, or a different length of time?
There is no penalty for selling "too soon". There is a tax break for long term gains, and you won’t get this. However, one sure way to lose money is to worry more about the taxes than the actual investments. If you don’t want it, sell it.

Anyone want to offer up how they go about trading? What are the key indicators you look for? What factors are a make/break deal for whether you trade a stock or not?
Hi Brian,
When we talk about TRADING, I usually take it as future & option trading. It is always better to buy & sell stock options instead of buying and selling direct stocks. The reason is very high hold time to earn good amount (in %) of profit. e.g. you may need to hold a stock for 2-3 years or more to get its value doubled (for you to earn 100% profit). So I refer direct stock trading as an INVESTMENT rather than trading.
Wherein option trading will earn 100% profit just by merely 5-6% movement of the under laying stock. Another good thing in options is you can earn profits in both up & down trends by buying calls & puts respectively.
There are various technical indicators available to find out current & future trends of stock price movements. Stochastic, MACD, RSI, CCI are most commonly used indicators among over 100 indicators available. No any single indicator is capable of generating BUY & SELL signals. So it is recommended to use a combination of multiple indicators to take trading decisions. To do this the knowledge of Technical Analysis is required.
There are some websites which do this analysis part of their own & provide buy & sell signals (paid or free). I suggest you to try the free option trading signals for Dow 30 stocks & the Dow index itself. Do the paper trading initially & follow them if found profitable.

I have been day trading the stock market for many years now. Watch this video and learn from my real time trading strategies. I use real time alerts and filter software. I can’t trade without them. Online day trading is a way for me to “make money at home” as a “home business”. I learned to day trade from videos, coaching, and other online courses. Live trading will help you learn more than paper trading. Psychology plays a major role in successful trading.

I have noticed that Windows on my laptop operates with constant attacks and you read about viruses constantly and malware etc on Windows. There are times when software shuts down or is inaccessible. That doesn’t work for trading strategies, because if you cannot respond to the market, you are done, cooked.

I understand your concerns, but the main issue shoould be to lock your windows system down. You can switch to Linux or Mac as these OS’s are not ‘targeted’ as much as windows, but you have many other issues at that point.
Just learn how to lock your windows system down, and dont do questionable things on your computer like downloading free music/movies/software. You will be "as safe" as you would be on another OS.

Friends I want to know wheather we can make sizable amount monthly by doing daily stock trading? If yes which strategy to be adopted to do winning trades only.
Day trading is gambling, not investing. No, you can not make a living doing this. Yes, maybe 1 out of 50 or 1 out of 100 people actually can make money day trading.
I have been developing a trading strategy for the last 6 months. As of today, 11-12-08, the average winning trade percentage is 92% and of those winning trades, the average gain is 5.97% between 1-5 days. If this strategy were used over the course of a year, an individual’s portfolio would more than triple. I am going to start a website in the upcoming few months to have people subscribe to my picks. I do not know what to charge. Ideas?
You may want to look at Collective2:
http://www.collective2.com
People can subscribe to your system there and you have a number of ways you can charge. One advantage of using them is that you have an independent auditor of your results. Another is that they do all of the billing for you.
Unfortunately, not free.
But even if you decide not to use them, you can still get some idea of what other people are charging for their methods — while seeing what kinds of results they are generating for those charges.
P.S. I hope by "developing a trading strategy for the last 6 months", you don’t mean you’ve been tweaking historical data to generate those results. There have been a few systems on Collective2 that looked great in their presentation of backtest results, but failed miserably going forward.
Sure I have been trading options for years and have had much sucess. A beginner strategy that I still use is sticking with very liquid stocks. Such as exchange traded funds like QQQQ, DIA, SPY. Use technical investing to pick entry points (a good site I recommend for that is signalwatch.com click on Dow and you will get free analysis of how the market is reading technically) Wait till the market is either looking overbought buy puts, if it is looking oversold buy calls. Also make sure you pick a strike price that is very close to being in the money. And make sure you give your self at least 3 weeks before the contract is going to expire which will normally give you a few opportunities to take profits. Dont be greedy. Dont panic. Experience is the key to being sucessful at anything.. Don’t invest more than you can afford to lose. The most important lesson to learn in option trading is studying what the movement in the stock will do to the price of the option……….many times if the market has it priced in a stock is overvalued the stock will sell off a few buck or go up a few bucks and your option will not move….That is why it is best to trade very liquid contracts. Good day.
