The profitability of day trading oftentimes lures people to make a living out of it. But just like in all other businesses- trading is a business and it should be treated as such- there are certain places where you should start. Novice traders are often faced with tough decisions like what trade to begin with? How much risk should be taken? Or what are the futures that suit your trading style best? These questions are of course impossible to answer in one sitting.

It takes experience to acknowledge the realities of this business. However, it helps to know some of the more important issues when beginning to trade.
