A Programmer foraying into trading

Hello people!
I am a noob when it comes to trading.

I have eight years of experience in software design and program analysis. Last year I started my own start-up making ERP and CRM applications. And it has had been very hectic so far. I have recently gone through an expansion of sorts and now my company has the required management people in place thus reducing the pressure on me.

Ever since college, I wanted to get into stocks but either I didn't have sufficient money or I didn't have the opportunity. I was on an L1 in US for a long time and then traveled a bit too.
But, now I want to start doing this.

My primary reasons are:
1. I just love numbers
2. I obviously want to earn money and I feel at 28, I have enough stomach for risks.
3. I know that discipline and analytical thinking are mandatory which I have

I have planned to enter into this with a capital of 100K which I can afford to lose. But, of course I don't want to lose. I am planning on going intra-day. I am in front of a computer for about 20 hours a day, so commitment isn't going to be a problem at all.

So, what am I looking for? Well, directions. I don't want to be spoon fed but a few helpful directions would be great!

Thanks a ton in advance!

Wish u best of luck.

Statistics and time series modelling would help you. Risk management in trading would help you survive longer, get this straight first. All the best!

all right directions

Normally, its foreign to my policy to tender advice to such queries as the market is the best teacher there is, to remedy all illusions/ delusions

But, would still advice to put in effort to guide your startup to grow into more of a viable venture at this juncture in your affairs. The markets aren't going to disappear anytime soon!

If the above advice doesn't appeal to you (as it probably won't), then at least have the common sense to start with 10K as a training account (if you must) & not 100K. AND intraday is not for the foolhardy. Get your feet wet by positional EOD - buying/ selling just a couple of units at a time
