I have been involved in the securities business for my entire adult life, having been a trader at both the retail and institutional level. Trading stocks, or forex pairs is a wonderful way to stack up money, if you have the experience and knowledge to trade successfully.

Unfortunately, that learning curve can be a steep one, and expensive. With that in mind, I looked over a program to trade equities that is specifically designed for beginners. As you may know, most stock indexes are composites of a basket of equities trading on either the NYSE or the NASDAQ exchanges. These indexes are traded in a variety of methods ranging from Options to Futures Contracts, and usually originate on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the CBOT. The nice thing about stock indexes is there is great transparency in trading these issues. The markets are well regulated, liquid, and orderly.

Many novice traders purchase trading robots or exotic trading systems that may cost as much as $10,000 a year, and might gave limited success. I do not recommend purchasing bots or high priced systems to start. I also recommend that all traders “paper trade” on demo account until they are proficient in a single market. I do not recommend trying to trade multiple markets in the learning stage of trading, as each market has a distinct personality and demeanor. Learn to trade one market proficiently, then you might choose to move on to others. Several trade set-ups repeat themselves on a regular basis in the market. This can be attributed, theoretically, to a number of factors.

1. Technical traders trade in tight parameters and use similar indicators. Thus, support and resistance may become self-fulfilling trading patterns.

2. Some behavior economists believe the human response to a given set of trading stimulus is a constant, thus the repetitive set ups for profit.

3. Wave theorists believe the market moves in distinct and predictable patterns based upon the actual chart formations. Whatever the reason, if a novice could learn just one of these consistently profitable trade set-ups, he could be quite adept at trading the markets.
