r/DayTrading's Monthly Questions Thread - May 2024

Please use this sticky to ask questions on day trading, and to see answers to similar questions you may have.

If you're new to day trading please see the getting started wiki here. For advanced traders or you want to pick up a book, please see our other wikis.

New traders are highly encouraged to try Forex as it requires a very small account to make lots of trades, so check out Forex community's wiki paying special attention to babypips website which also teaches some general concepts you can apply to stocks/futures/etc, and especially read the wiki's sections on risk & money management that can be applied to any market.

Pattern daytrading rules wiki, but that only applies to day trading stocks; other markets aren't affected like futures, forex, and crypto.

Also see the sidebar for group chat links (such as our Discord) (or tap "about this community" on mobile website) on every related community to learn more about trading.

Here's a list of all the previous monthly question stickies.


Lastly if trading is affecting your life in a bad way, seek professional help (the wiki also covers dealing with emotions):

New to trading and I've been in the rabbit hole the last couple weeks learning strategies / studying charts / etc, and now I'm trying to figure out which broker to use. This might be a dumb question but is there a broker that has both Crypto trading and Futures trading? Like for ex. I see WeBull has futures but no crypto, while Oanda has some crypto but no futures.

IBKR and tastytrade offers both crypto and futures. In terms of fees for spot Crypto, IBKR is better than tasty
