Dear Nick,
I am just like u as beginner. But the only difference is that i may be 1 or 2 foots ahead of u, means i already started day trading. So what i feel is that,
1) preserve your capital while trading.
2) look for small gains.
3) look for big fortunes.
Each steps needs to be practiced for some weeks or months and then go to next step. ( I am still in step 1). And dont start in the reverse order.
As you know candle stick charts, i think you are in the right track.
Don't go for a bunch of indicators, it will only confuse you. The best indicator is price and volume, and all indicators are derived from that only. So if you want use, one or two more indicators.
For realtime charting you can go for sharekhan or indiabulls or whatever you like. Any way you can start an account with around Rs.2000 + the money you want to trade.
Trading is a long journey and it will take years to complete. So dont be in a hurry to make fortunes because it will cost you a lot.:annoyed:
Happy Trading,
Dinil
