What we provide:
Day Traders On-line provides two main services. Our "basic service" provides subscribers with timely market research which is useful in both short term investing as well as intra day trading. Each night we scan our database of securities searching for stocks which have triggered one or more of our trading indicators. We then broadcast this information, as well as other stock related stories, via e-mail to members in the early morning before the markets open. In our e-mails, we provide entry prices, sell targets and support levels plus recommendations for these stocks, so that you can get in and out of the market while protecting your trading capital.
In addition to these trading recommendations, we also maintain a short term model portfolio that outlines stocks that we have bought or sold recently so as to track our performance. In each report we make buy, sell and hold recommendations based on current news and/or market out look. Once a week we also recap sold/closed positions so members can keep track of our performance and so everyone can keep pace with typical percentage gains made. Be sure to stop by and take a look at an example of what we e-mail to our members, just keep in mind this information changes quickly and this is only a past example. In addition to our stock report, we also routinely conduct question and answer sessions over e-mail.
In addition to our basic service, we provide an optional service which provides intra day plays. This service is called "The Trading Desk" and takes place in our Trading Desk on the web site. As far as we know, this is currently the largest real time trading location on the Internet. The room is hosted between market hours by our staff and traders. Stocks called here generally have above an 80% winning potential if managed correctly. This service is for true day traders seeking fractional gains intraday. If you are looking to get in and out with 1/4's, 3/8's or more (sometimes much more!) then you may wish to have a look at our Trading Desk during your two week trial.
Since Day Trading is considered higher risk, we want to remind members that this service is geared for more advanced traders with proper equipment and capitalization. As a general guide line, traders should be using no more than 20 to 30 percent of their liquid assets for trading, in combination with a good mix of traditional investing and fixed income type assets. Additionally, we recommend that members watch the action in the Trading Desk for several weeks or longer to get a good healthy feel for the markets. New traders to the market should understand that day trading is risky and that we do not want to see anyone lose money. If you are new, stick to our morning newsletter - if you are more advanced and understand the risks in trading, then perhaps the Trading Desk is applicable as well.
If you'd like to see an example log to get an idea of the information provided, one is available for your review (click here for Trading Desk example log). As mentioned, this is an optional service that is available in addition to our morning e-mail report. To really take advantage of the Trading Desk service, you do need to be fairly well capitalized (enough to buy at least 500 to 1000 shares in most cases) and need to have access to fast order execution as well as real time quotes. Because the news on stocks breaks throughout the morning, users of this service will need to have the time to watch the market tick by tick. Action in the trading desk moves fast, but for the active day trader, this is where it's at. Due to the timeliness of this information it is not provided over e-mail; rather it is broadcast directly into the Trading Desk for all members benefit (delay of about 3 to 6 seconds is all). If you are looking for intra day gains of between 1/4 and a point or more, this is the place for you. Remember, half a point profit on 2000 shares is still $1000 in a day (i.e. a very nice living!).
To compliment the information we provide directly to members as part of membership, we also provide members a forum for exchanging stock tips in real time. This exchanging of information comes in the form of our stock tips page. By visiting this page, members can read posts about stocks from trial members and members a like. Subscribing members can also have the information which is posted here e-mailed to them directly in real time. Just keep in mind the information posted on the stock tips page is from many different sources and is generally not checked by our staff. Still, you never know when a hot tip will come your way, or lead to further research on a stock you would have not otherwise known about. Additionally, in the very near future, we plan to setup a member forum for general message as well. We will provide further information about that as it becomes available. For now, the stock tips page is a handy way to share information about stocks which you feel are ready to move up (or down as the case may be!)
You'll also find a number of other helpful resources on our web page, many of which are available even if you are not a member, such as our links page which points to a large number of other stock market related web pages and our quote server which provides delayed quotes, charts (including intraday) and news headlines on all major securities. We also maintain a list of brokers on the Internet which outlines a few of the more prominent clearing houses that are available over the Internet.
And finally, our trading strategies section details a number of our views about day trading. For the beginning and experienced day trader alike, this is a valuable resource and we invite you to take advantage of it whether you ultimately become a subscriber to our services or not. It's always underdevelopment (as they say) so check back often and feel free to send us your suggestions for expansion. Also, don't forget to take a look at our book list for suggested reading.
What it costs:
Our basic service, which includes our nightly stock report and access to our stock tips page, is just $29.95 per month. When you subscribe to the basic service, you are sent our morning report which tracks our current model portfolio as well as new stock buy and sell recommendations. Reports are generally mailed during the early morning in time for arrival before the open of the markets in the morning (note that this requires a half way decent provider of e-mail. Some ISP's such as AOL may tend to delay mail when they are overloaded).
Our Trading Desk service, which is available as on option to the basic service for an additional $149.95 per month ($179.90 total), includes full access to the trading desk during market hours. This is where real time information on stocks with breaking news is provided between 9:30 and 4:00 EST. Please note that this room requires the use of Netscape 2.0 or higher (or Microsoft's Internet Explorer) and is setup for the serious intra day trader. Hang around here and trade and you'll get the 2, 3 and 5+ point gainers you have always dreamed of - just ask our current members, plus plenty of fractional gainers as well.
Our guarantee to subscribers:
Our guarantee is to provide a service that meets your needs as closely as possible. If at anytime you experience a problem with your account or the services we provide, contact us and we'll correct the situation as quickly as possible. If we are unable to correct a problem and it is as a result of a failure of our equipment, then we will credit your account until the problem is resolved, or upon your request we will refund the un-used portion of your service and cancel your membership.
