They are 20 years old, They negociate thousands of actions everyday with the dream of being rich. Welcome in the strange world of Day trading. =)It's 9:30 in the morning. In the basement of the Place of Canada, street of Gauchetière, Montreal, it is the routine. With signal of the opening of the North-American stock exchange markets, a bunch of young adults are inclined feverishly towards their keyboard of computer. And it left for another bogus day! From here until the closure of the Stock Exchange, at 4PM, this heteroclite band will buy and sell tens of thousands of actions of companies. Marjorie Landry, 23 years old, coed with the baccalaureat in finance at the University of Quebec at Trois-Rivières (UQTR), takes seat behind his working station and opens a meeting of computer. At once its password accepted, the amount that it can speculate for the day on Stock Exchange Market appears on one of the screens in front of it. It can then start to make its first transactions on the title of Intel, on the Stock Exchange of Nasdaq. Its spirit and its must be sharp.
If the title of Intel tumbles down, it must withdraw its balls of the market quickly. A few seconds are enough to miss its transaction and to wipe important losses. The young woman baits herself on the title of the American giant. microchips since several months already. With the least fall, it buys and, conversely, it liquidates when the prices go up. Sometimes, when it anticipates a fall of the title, it pushes the audacity until selling with overdraft, a hazardous technique where the negociator on meeting, or daytrader, sells titles. that it does not hold in the hope to repurchase them with a lower course to make profit. To see her keyboards frantically, one has the impression that she devotes to a video game.
