Other Good Day Trading Stocks and ETFs

These stocks and ETFs typically move enough to create intra-day trends, and have ample volume. These are solid day trading stocks, that tend to have some good intra-day movement, but that aren’t quite as volatile as the stocks above.

S&P 500 SPDR ETF (SPY)

Bank of America (BAC)

Another option is to look for stocks with large daily moves in dollar terms (for example, the price typically moves $1.50 a day and does at least 5 million in volume). This type of screen will also tend to produce stocks that provide ample volatility for trading the intraday price moves.These stocks are typically higher priced, and include Apple (AAPL), Nvidia (NVDA), AliBaba Group(BABA) and Facebook (FB).

Remember Risk Management

Losing trades WILL happen. Don’t risk more than 1% of your trading account on a trade (risk = difference between entry price and stop loss price, multiplied by the number of shares). Slippage is likely in these stocks. Make sure the stock can support the position size you wish to trade. Failing to do so could result in further slippage.
