Frequently asked questions
How do I start trading stocks as a complete beginner?
Start by learning to read a chart and find key levels, then practice with a paper-trading simulator, and only move to real money with small size and a written risk rule such as risking no more than 1% of your account per trade.
How much money do I need to start day trading?
There's no single number, but in the US the pattern day trader (PDT) rule has historically required $25,000 in a margin account to make four or more day trades within five business days. FINRA has proposed changing this rule, so confirm the current requirement with your broker.
What are penny stocks and why are they risky?
Penny stocks are low-priced shares of small companies, usually under $5. They are risky because they often have small floats, frequent share dilution, wide bid-ask spreads and trading halts, so prices can move very fast in either direction.
How do options work, in simple terms?
An option is a contract that gives you the right, but not the obligation, to buy (a call) or sell (a put) 100 shares of a stock at a set price (the strike) before a set date (the expiration). You pay a price called the premium for that right.
What is IV crush?
IV crush is the sharp drop in an option's implied volatility after an expected event like earnings. Because implied volatility is part of the option's price, the premium can fall even when the stock moves in your direction.
How do I read a candlestick chart?
Each candle shows one time period: the thick body runs from the open to the close, and the thin wicks show the high and low. A long body shows conviction; a long wick shows rejection. Candles mean most when they form at a support or resistance level.
