Day trading is something which excites and attracts everyone especially young ones.
Ask any seasoned Trader and he would be of the opinion, Day trading is fascinating
but equally dangerous .It becomes disastrous if the risk is not defined in a particular
trade.
Day trading to many is adrenaline rush,When a particular trade goes their way
Well it turns out to be equally depressing when trade goes against them.
Day trading requires a set of qualities and strict rules which need to be
followed to show fruitful results.
Qualities would include, A trader need to be energetic,Good reflexes and a quick
decision maker and lastly the most important one "Concentration".
These qualities are usually seen in young traders (25-35) age group.
Concentration is something which comes by practice many try meditation to
get a sound concentration.
According to a survey Good day traders are not Doctor's or Engineer's
they are Pilot's.
Fine now different kinds of market requires specific set of tactics to try to break
Them up(To trade).
BEAR market poses the biggest challenge in front of traders.
As in Bear market there is a saying"Expect the unexpected".
Like in
Bull market they say no high is final high.
Bear market slogan is No low is final low:).
So to trade such market Trader need to change his trading style thinking etc
in short he need to transform himself to adapt to the conditions.
Like chameleon does by changing his color according to the background.
First and foremost rule never trade first breakout in a bear market.
The first breakout usually gets sold heavily.
Now here we have two methods Fellow traders can try both and see which one
serves them well:).
Either buy the next breakout or buy the first breakout retrace find a good support
retrace by using Fibonacci.
Secondly never underestimate the Bear market rallies if you cannot trade bear market
rallies avoid trading them, You may end up loosing most of your money what you made
by shorting BEAR market.Shorting BEAR market rally without any study or clues is
like trying to find water digging in desert . Whole 1 year return of a Bull market
can come in one month BEAR rally.
Of course big money is to be made when Bear rally ends.Timing plays an important role
Look for clues ,Chart patterns,Waves etc to come to conclusion.
Lastly the disheartening thing Bear market tends to see failure of many chart patterns
Waves etc which makes it tedious for a trader to find a trade setup out of
cacophony.
More ideas to follow in next post
Do leave comments about your experience about trading Bear market.

>$50 Billion Fraud: "Bigger Than All the Rest Put Together"
At $50 Billion, it stands alone as the largest investment swindle ever. Other swindles pale in comparison: Charles Ponzi's was $113 million (inflation-adjusted); con artist Lou Pearlman's may have been as high as $500 million; Tom Petters' scheme is alleged to have been $3 billion, but that figure is likely exaggerated.
What's more, even history's biggest single trading losses don't come close: Long-Term Capital Management lost $5.8 billion; and Société Générale earlier this year saw $7.1 billion go up in smoke.
Bernard L. Madoff's alleged investment fraud is going to dwarf them all, and stand in the record books as the con that was "bigger than all the rest put together." In a perverse way, its magnitude makes it worthy of the scope of the economic crisis which brought the scam to light. All Ponzi schemes will keep working until they don't -- that is, until the psychology turns and people start begin withdrawing big-time.
Yet Bernie Madoff had never had a losing year: He "paid 8% to 12%, every year, no matter what." Now more than 30 of his investors believe their losses could exceed $1 billion.
It may be a while before anyone knows how long this scheme has gone on: Madoff has been managing money since 1960. The SEC had received multiple warnings about Madoff beginning in 1992 -- but as the Wall Street Journal said about the SEC, "Each time, it blew its chance." Then again, how hard would you expect them to look at a guy who had actually served on an SEC advisory committee, and had been Chairman of the NASDAQ?
