Stock Market Day Trading at Home

Toady many day traders, especially beginners, want to access stock markets and to execute trades from their home. The 4 basic requirements for day trading stocks at home are a computer, internet connection, online trading account and a stock trading software,.

A computer with Windows XP or higher operating system, 100 GB hard-disk space, 1GHZ or higher processing speed and 1024 MB or higher RAM will be quite enough for active day trading.
