The process of stock trading has of course evolved a lot over the years as technology as developed. In the early part of the 20th century you had to physically visit a stock brokers office or trading room to buy and sell stocks.

When the postal mail became into common use you could then buy and sell stocks by mailing a letter to your broker, of course today nobody would think of doing either of these.

Today the most common form of trading uses either the telephone or stock trading online. When using the telephone to trade stocks you can still do it by speaking to a broker and giving them your clear instructions, or you can do it all yourself by using some form of menu system using the digital key pad.

But by far the most common form of trading is done online, so what do you need to know about stock trading online?, more than you may think!

Here are some points that you may not have considered:

1. Virtually every broker can do stock trading but what about options, Forex and futures?. While you may not be interested in trading either Forex or futures it is quite likely that at some time you will want to trade options online, even if it is just covered calls. Make sure that your chosen broker allows you to trade all the markets that you want to.

2. Of course the fee’s charged by your online broker is an obvious point to check, the fee’s can vary a lot and if you are doing hundreds or thousands of trades a year it can add up to quite a lot of cash. Did you know that you can just call up your online broker and ask for a reduced commission charge?, yes you can, I’ve done it. Of course they don't advertise it but if you do a lot of business they will want to keep your account.

3. Have you planned what you will do if you are in a trade and your internet connection goes down for any reason, it could be a power failure, problems with the internet or your PC crashing?. If you are day trading you will want to telephone your broker and manage your trade, probably you will just want to close it. How will your broker deal with your call, will they answer quickly, will they look at charts for you and describe what is going on?. Make sure that your broker has good telephone support.

4. Are your trading funds safe?, make sure that your broker is a member of SIPC, the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, which protects against losses caused by the financial failure of the broker-dealer, but not against losses resulting from depreciation in a security's value. Usually trading accounts are protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), up to $500,000 (including up to $100,000 for cash claims).

Whatever you decide to do, before trading stocks, options or anything else make sure that you get a good trading education by reading the best trading books that you can.

How to create a survey using Survey Galaxy

Designing surveys is considered easy; but is it? The reality is that writing surveys is easy but writing surveys that will be effective is more difficult. The following twenty tips will help you with your survey questionnaire design.

1. What is the survey’s purpose?

Surveys and questionnaires are conducted for many reasons. By correctly phrasing the questions and structuring the answers surveys can be used in many ways and for a variety of reasons. When designing a survey don’t lose sight of its purpose.

2. Give the survey a good title

The survey title is key and an opportunity to instantly summarise a survey’s objective and encourage respondents to participate. Respondents are going to invest time in completing the survey so make them feel that their investment is worthwhile.

3. Keep the survey as short as possible

Every question asked should be asked for a reason. Concentrate on the ‘need to know’ questions and minimise ‘nice to know’ information.

4. Use plain English, maintain consistency and avoid terminology, acronyms and asking questions that could result in ambiguous answers

Be careful when wording the question. If a question is unclear then there is every chance that respondents may understand the question differently to that intended by the publisher making any analysis of the data worthless or at the very least suspect.

5. Avoid questions that are long

Try to use short sentences wherever possible. Long questions can cause a respondent discomfort and lead to them abandoning the survey.

6. Ask one question at a time

Avoid confusing the respondent with a question like ‘Do you like tennis and athletics?’

7. Do not influence the answer

It is important to avoid loading the question. ‘Should irresponsible shop keepers who sell alcohol to minors be prosecuted?’ is likely to have no value.

8. Make sure that the answer format used allows the respondent to answer the question being asked

Ensure that the respondent is able to answer how they really feel or they may abandon the survey. As a last resort consider the benefit of including a “Can’t say”, “Don’t know” or similar response option.

9. When you are compiling your survey consider how you will analyse the results once the survey has been published

If a question is asked that allows a free text open ended response appreciate that such information is likely to be difficult to score and/or summarised. Consider how answers can be grouped. For example “Indicate your length of service?” - ‘less than 1 year’, ‘between 1 and 6 years’ and ‘more than 6′.

10. Try and ensure that the questionnaire flows

Group the questions into clear categories as this makes the task of completing the survey easier for the participants.

11. Target your respondents carefully

Sometimes you will want to target a specific group, in others a cross section. If you can’t control who responds to your survey consider including questions/answers that will allow you to filter out respondents who don’t match your target profile.

12. Allow respondents to expand on their answers and/or make comments

By allowing respondents to make additional comments you will increase their satisfaction level and the comments will also give valuable feedback on the specific questions and/or the survey as a whole. Keep in mind though that for a large sample collection it may be difficult to analyze free text open ended responses.

13. If the survey you are conducting is to be confidential ensure that your pledge is upheld

If you have guaranteed the respondents that the survey is confidential ensure that the individual data is not to be shared with anyone and the information is not going to be used for any other purpose. Confidentiality must be maintained at all times and any contact information destroyed once the survey has finished.

14. Weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of allowing respondents to be anonymous or identifiable

If your respondents are to be anonymous then you will be unable to follow up specific complaints or match “pre” or “post” surveys. Allowing people to remain anonymous can however have advantages for example it would allow people to respond without possible peer pressure.

15. Carefully consider what the best response format will be

Being consistent with the format used for responses is good practice. When designing your survey keep in mind that when analyzing the data radio buttons are easier to analyze than check boxes that offer the respondent multiple responses. If a radio response can be used do not use a check box.

16. Advise the respondent as to the approximate time it will take to complete the survey

Respondent drop out can increase if there is no end in sight to the survey questions. It is good practice to give an indication as to how long the survey is likely to take so the respondents can choose the best time to complete the survey.

17. Provide respondents with the survey end date

Try and encourage your invited respondents to complete the survey as soon as possible but advise the respondents of the survey’s end date so that they have the opportunity to schedule the necessary time.

18. Test the survey

Before publishing a live survey publish the survey as a trial to check for questions that are ambiguous or confusing and to ensure that the survey is aesthetically pleasing.

19. Before publishing the survey check the survey several times

Check and check again that the survey is grammatically correct and makes sense. If possible get someone else to proof read the survey before you publish, if no one else is available then take a break before checking again.

20. Thank the respondent

Respondents devote their time when completing surveys and should therefore be thanked at the end of completing the survey or in a follow up letter. You may even want to consider an incentive such as a reward of some sort.

To get started there are numerous survey software websites to choose from.

Expecting a miracle?? It probably will not happen. This is intended to help traders get out of a losing position by trading, not as an excuse to ignore stop losses. Ignoring or simply not using stops is the single fastest way to lose all the money in your account. I am serious. While that might help you in the short run eventually there is a 100% chance you will have a massive loss, like 50% or more on your money lost that is invested in the trade if you don’t use a stop. Another thing to remember, if you accumulate all your money into a portfolio of losing positions, you have nothing left to trade with. Every huge loss starts with the trader refusing to take a small loss - often times as a result of taking a loss or a stopout and then watching the stock turn in their favor. The theory is "The market is not going to stick it to me this time".  This is how traders learn to trade with bad habits.

The first thing to realize, there are 4 reasons losses that can happen when you are in a day trading or swing trading.

1. Timing is off on the entry
2. The direction you think the stock will move is just wrong
3. News items come out and move stock or index against you
4. Your price target to exit is too far away

We will address these one by one.

1. Timing is off on the entry

If your entry timing is off, this usualy means the price will move a bit in your favor, then against you within the first 5 to 10 minutes. The amount the price moves against you will be way more than any profit so far, but it does not go to the stop area either. The key to identifying this is the stock will hesitate up and down, just below your entry for long or above entry for short. It should not go immediately against you, nor go right to near your stop in the first few minutes.

The easiest way to deal with this happening is to assume that your timing is going to be off. Buy or short only 1/2 to 2/3 the size you want where you think the entry should be. To make sure this never happens, do not use market orders. Place a limit slightly below the current market quote, most of the time you will have no trouble getting filled. You need to be aware of what type of trade it is - for example on a breakout you probably need to go market or you will miss it. Most trades will not just run immediate, including breakouts. Once you receive a fill back, make sure you place an initial stop loss for that position. Wait 5 minutes and see what the stock does. If it moves in your favor immediately, that means you r timing was spot on and you just trade with what you have as a position.

Most of the time the best deal is to stick with day trading what you have. If the stock moves against you more than for you in the first 5 minutes, but is not a beeline against you (meaning it looks like the trade will stop out etc), then put in an order to add at the low of this 5 minutes (for long) or the high (for shorts). In addition, if you are aggressive, put in another add order (press bets) above the high for longs, or below the low for shorts. IF you don’t get your better price add, usually this press bets add when its going for you will work out. If the price moves so that you can add at a better price, then make sure you cancel the press bets add shares. If you get filled on your additional shares, you can move your stop down slightly but increase to include all shares OR just place a separate stop on teh add. If you are able to press your bets and add, make sure to move your stop loss to just below the low of the 5 minutes, and do not forget to increment up the shares to cover the additional purchase or short.

2. The direction you think the stock will move is just wrong

This does happen, even to the best traders. You try a breakout that fails, you try to catch a turn at the bottom of a downtrend, you think a stock will follow another stock with bad news down … the common element is you are dead wrong. This type of trade is easily identifiable from the start, within a few minutes it has already moved further against you than you expected to make if you were right from the start. This means the upside movement is severely limited for longs, or the downside is limited for shorts. This means it can move easily one direction, but really, really struggles in the direction you bet.

Usually if this happens, the only real chance you have to not lose is to double down on the position near your stop. You basically would risk another 15-20c on double size that it would bounce before you get stopped out, or sell down before you stop on shorts. If you want to attempt this, care must be taken to use discipline. Do not expect to make money on the trade. The thinking is to try to minimize the loss by catching a turn near the stop area, with minimal risk on the add. If you can cut the loss in half or even get to even, get out. Just move on to the next trade.

If you doubled down and actually caught the turn, you would want to move the stop up on all to just below the turn. When the price moves halfway back from your secondary add position to the price of your first entry, sell the additional shares so you are left with only your original position. On the additional shares you want to keep you stop to just below that entry. The thinking here is you possibly washed out the side that was causing it to go so far against you, so give the rest a shot. Because you added shares and made some back, if you get stopped now you will lose far less than if you did not add. It really is a judgment call whether that is the appropriate play or just to exit all with a minor loss and move on.

3. News items come out and move stock or index against you

This is a tough one. You have to be able to analyze the news very quickly AND decide the impact. The judgment is would this news cause the stock to go far enough to stop me out? If the answer to that question is most likely yes, then exiting now at the market before it hits the stop will save you additional losses. If you think that the news that came out will not stop your position, then the best plan is to exit on a small counter move the other way. Most of the time there is no good way to add shares to trade out of a news play where you get caught. Occasionally the price might react in way A, but after a bit of time that side realizes they are wrong, and they flip around and want out, moving the market in direction B. IF you can detect this will probably happen or see it happening, the add point is the high of the bar where the news came out, that break in price. Usually that will run stops and trap whoever was playing the news as a quick trade and force them out.

4. Your price target to exit is too far away

This is common to. You have to kind of guess based on how the stock has been trading, localized volatility, and support resistance points where a price move might go to. It is very common to think it can move to A, but it struggles to get to even half of A. Usually these types if you don’t monitor them real close will turn into losing trades. The main reason is a scale up seller (for long bets) or scale down buyer (for short bets) is betting the other direction and absorbing a lot of the volume.

Most trade setups attract attention, so the more obvious a trade looks, long or short, and it does not really do that or struggles, the bigger the indication is to get the heck out. This can result in a huge move the other way, as traders are trapped on the wrong side. There is no real method to add to work your way out of it, you really just need to pay attention. A general rule is if you think its acting weak and think you should exit - just do it. Your gut is telling you something, the stock is not trading just right for the trade setup. Getting out is the best solution because you are looking to avoid your stop getting hit and saving a bigger loss. Also realize if you exit early, and then see it was a mistake, you can always get back in with a click of the button.

Do not expect to make money on every trade, its simply not possible - you have to pick your battles. If you sense something is off or wrong and you are at a loss, take the loss and move on. Staying in a trade and always trying to turn it into a profit will result in much bigger losses eventually. When a trade is really going poorly, usually you will be offered one chance to get out - it is up to you to capitalize on it and take it.

In the cold weather you need to make sure that there is no new growth on your lawn as this may cause it to be likely to succumb to pests and diseases. To do this gradually, decrease the height of the cutting blade of your lawnmower until you are just about shaving the lawn. Do this in stages over the course of a few weeks as you don’t want to suddenly remove all the leaf tissue or inflict more damage to the turf. You do not want to leave the grass longer than 2 inches during the winter months.

Apply top dressing to the lawn at the end of autumn. Even though it will not be utilised by the lawn over the winter it will be reserved in the roots and be instantly available for use by the lawn in the Spring as new growth begins. Reseed brown or bare areas in the Fall. During the colder weather the grass seeds will germinate.

Clear up any trash from the grass before the severest weather. This may include leaves, grass clippings, equipment, pots etc. If left in place when it starts to snow they could smother the grass underneath the blanket of snow and cause damage which may make the grass susceptible to pets and diseases. During the colder weather, even though the grass will grow not as fast weeds will thrive so you need to weekly remove weeds to prevent them from damaging the lawn.

Also you need to water the lawn through the cold season, although less often than you would during the warmer weather. For most grass species watering each week should be enough. Other species, e.g. rye grass and tall fescue grow well in the colder weather and should benefit from watering and fertilising at this time.

If you use a watering system empty out all the water to stop damage during a frost. You do not want to start it up the following Spring to find leaking pipes.

With some care your grass will get through the cold weather in the best shape and be green and healthy with new growth in the Spring.  Winter lawn care is not difficult if you follow our guidelines. You’ll find more information on lawn care at lawn mower reviews.

A Video Tour of Chris's Home (One of the Top marketing master's of branding)

Are you the village idiot? No man or woman ever thinks that they are. If you own or are thinking about starting your own home business don’t be the village idiot who brand’s their business. It does not matter how great your product or service is because there will be more people doing the same thing you are offering. You’ve got to be personally branding your business in today’s market.

Folks just do not brandn themselves very often. If you were going to name the people in your industry that you can identify you would do so more on how well they branded their name and personality and not their product.

You know the top industry people because they have successfully branded themselves. When the business they own changes or the market shifts into a crisis those who brand a business or product are in trouble. They can not reach their top sales goals if they are not branding themselves personally.

When they learn to brand themselves it won’t matter if they quit the industry or business. They have branded themselves and people start to buy from them because they like them. For example if you have something in the communications market. Well there are countless people selling and offering the exact same thing in your industry as you and you will never stick out if you are branding the same thing everyone else is and that is the product brands you are selling.

However, if from day one you brand you and your story there is not one single other person who can compete on the same level as you. You draw to you those like you and you prefer to work with those you like and they will buy from you when you brand you. We love as people to buy from people we like. So have you ever bought anything from someone who bugged you or you didn’t even like? How often do you buy from people you enjoy who if not for them you’d not have bought what you did.

Yep thats why giving samples works. Ever notice how many times people serving samples influence you to try the samples? When checking out ever notice how you look for the happy people and not the mad looking ones?

When you buy anything you enjoy working with people you like and prefer talking. We do this in all areas of life we look for people we like and connect with and want to work with.

Very few people know how to take this secret and apply it to their home business or small business. They are the ones making a lot in business. 

You have to grow it to large scales to get more volume for business. You also want to take your business and automate it as much as possible. Doing this using the internet has made making a 6 figure income a year and for many even a month has been made possible because of the internet. Today domain names and website hosting through internet companies have made getting a website fast, easy and very affordable for everyone.

How to use the internet to brand yourself and not your business. 

When you start or grow a business to make money online you need to get yourself a website to brand you and your story. From the beginning to the end you want your visitor to feel they have met you in person. They know your story and in many ways are likely to relate. You and me are a lot alike in our stories. There is no one without struggles. We all face financial challenges. We all have a desire to be successful in life and we all struggle on the way to that success. When you tell your story and how you got to where you are people connect with you and can get a feeling of working with you.

When you made a connection you are in the perfect spot to share what changed your life and how. You are not in the old spot of trying to sell something. Simply share your story and use online video to do it.

Starting out you will not likely have a success story so you will lack that aspect. You can however share your vision and where you are working to build your business and again people will connect with you in sharing your vision for where you are going. Naturally once you have found success you can share your story of success and your business will enter phase two of rapid growth. You have to have a flow of people who follow you and then when it grows you will find very loyal followers.

There will come a time when you have branded you so well it won’t matter what business you are in because people are following you and not a business.

Stay in constant contact with those who are your prospects. You can do this in simply using a list management service to allow people to opt in to your email list. They enter their name and email address and then are put on a list where you can even setup a series of emails to be sent to them each day or every so many days. You can build extreme loyalty on auto pilot by having 15-25 emails pre-written and set to be sent to your new email opt ins who visit your website over a period of 30-60 days. Then you send people a email once a week or more simply with things connected to you and your business or service. You will find people who from this order and buy from you and yet you are branding yourself so you will be free of competition. Then you will sell your product for full price and they people won’t buy from others who sell the same thing even at a discount. Why? When you brand you as the top person and authority in what you do. Even though you will not likely have met them they will feel like they know you and buy from you. All the while the other guys going against you will be clueless as to how you do so much business and never discount your prices. They the whole time offering sales and spending mega dollars on ads branding their business and without results even close to what you get.

We used these secrets to make our business into a global powerhouse of sales and now do over 6 figures a month. Most of those sales are on auto pilot. Our team members are very branded and we have made the process very automated for us and for our customers.

People who work at home sometimes run into unexpected situations they can’t cope with, although many of the problems could be avoided if care was taken to adopt some basic principles before making investments or setting the business in motion. Here are some examples of the things that could go wrong with your work at home. Awareness of the risk brings you a lot further to prevention, and that is a fact.

Entrepreneurs who decide to promote all sorts of products should have a valid agreement for the merchandise return in case the sales are low and the work at home business remains in the project state. Moreover, before putting money into any stock or joining any kind of business, it is advisable to investigate about what costs, fees, equipment and supplies it involves even if you plan to conduct it in the easiest way possible.

Get set up with a separate E-mail address for use in the business only.   Use this address for all business items.  It will help you tremendously when trying to keep up with the tons of mail you will be getting.

Learn about taxes.  Find out what you can and cannot claim.  Like the office space in your home.  The power and other utilities. Your computer and how you use it.  Do you use it for family business and your work at home business?

One of the dangers that come when you work at home is that scams were especially create for people like you, who conduct businesses online and cannot come into direct contact with the other party. Find all the details you can about the company you want to do business with. Government agencies and Bureaus may have previous complaints on one company or another.

If the Internet has the highest risk danger for those who work at home, it is also the best source of information one can have. There are web sites specialized in identifying business scams and warning people about them. They too have a look at all sorts of business opportunities and run various tests to check the credibility and detect the potential risks. Plus, negative reviews are also present online, even if you may come across more fake ultra-satisfied customers too.

There are also work at home opportunities that have nothing to do with the Internet. Baby sitting and house cleaning services are two often encountered cases of business owners who owe nothing to the Internet. The advantage of work at home is that one is free to use time in a flexible way according to personal and family needs. Therefore, if the Internet is not a valid source of information, turn to newspaper classifieds to find all sorts of work at home employment forms.

Take some time to learn about marketing. It will be well worth your time.

You just have to have the person’s basic details and the request form then you will have the information that you need. The good thing about free criminal background check service is the certainty of getting the right information about the person you are checking but this requires more time and effort. It requires time because you’ll have to wait for approval of your request before accessing the data and effort because you’ll be the one to sift through the papers to find the information you are requesting for.

If you’re looking for information on how to repair your credit score, two things are pretty likely:

1) You’ve got bad credit, and it’s been bad for a while.
2) You want something important like a new car or home, but your poor credit is keeping you from attaining it.

Starting now, you’ll get on the road to credit repair, and if you are determined, you’ll find yourself on a path to greater opportunities.

It’s not hard to understand why good credit is important, but let me briefly touch on some key points: if you have good credit, you can actually afford to make large purchases at a decent price that just isn’t available to borrowers with bad credit.Relatively few people have enough cash stashed away to buy a home.  This is why it’s necessary to borrow money from a bank or finance company.

People who have good credit can access lots of money on favorable terms, and they enjoy an opulent standard of living.But, with bad credit or no credit at all, your options for where to live, and your standard of living, are rather limited.

Now that you’ve made the decision to fix your credit report, you’re already on the road to turning your life around and navigating your way through your present financial crisis; this will soon bring you to a point where you can easily manage your money and have the kind of lifestyle you’ve dreamed of.
