Abstract: After the U.S market earned strong returns in 2003, day trading made a comeback and once again became a popular trading method among traders. Although there is no comprehensive empirical evidence available to answer the question do individual day traders make money, there is a number of studies that point out that only few are able to consistently earn profits sufficient to cover transaction costs and thus make money. The day trading concept of buying and selling stocks on margin alone suggests that it is more risky than the usual going long way of making profit. This paper offers a new approach to day trading, an approach that eliminates some of the risks of day trading through specialization. The concept is that the trader should specialize himself in just one (blue chip) stock and use existing day trading techniques (trend following, playing news, range trading, scalping, technical analysis, covering spreads) to make money.
