In the second part of the webinar, we take a closer look at how to trade stocks and in particular how to select those with liquidity which will allow you as a day trader to buy and sell quickly. Many smaller stocks and pink sheets are relatively illiquid and so selling quickly can be an issue. Here we use some of the excellent free scanning tools available to scan for stocks to trade using a variety of criteria.

How to Select Stocks for Day Trading and Trading Index Futures Using Volume Price Analysis
Volume price analysis (VPA) is a powerful method for selecting stocks and trading index futures. It focuses on volume alongside price action. This reveals true market intent. High volume on moves shows conviction. Low volume warns of weakness. Use VPA to identify high-probability day-trading setups. In the US trading session, we take another step along the road in explained how to select and day trade stocks using volume price analysis, along with trading index futures and commodities.
Selecting Stocks for Day Trading with VPA
Day trading stocks requires liquid, volatile names. Start with scanners:
Volume Filter: High relative volume (2x average)—shows participation.
Price Range: $20-100 for decent tick value.
VPA Signals: Look for accumulation—rising volume at lows. Avoid distribution—high volume at highs with failing price.
Use RadarScreen on TradeStation or scanners on NinjaTrader. Quantum Accumulation/Distribution indicator highlights building phases. Focus on strong sectors (e.g., tech during rallies).
Trading Index Futures...
You know how it goes. The stock is rising nicely and then crash, it falls sharply and develops a price waterfall as it descends to a level never seen before. And then it appears to languish at this level with no hope of recovery. But slowly it does and soon breaks higher developing a bullish trend. The consolidation phase is the accumulation phase where the market makers are doing just that and preparing for the next major campaign for the stock, and hence the reason these price patterns can be so profitable as you are buying a stock at a low price along with the market makers.

One of the Most Powerful Ways to Stay in the Trend Using Volume Price Analysis
Staying in a trend is one of the hardest parts of trading. Many exit too early on pullbacks. Volume price analysis (VPA) solves this. It confirms trend strength. High volume on trend-direction candles shows conviction. This lets you ride moves longer.
The problem for most traders is holding a position once the trend is underway. And not to be bounced out in the inevitable round of pullbacks and minor reversals which occur in all timeframes. No trend ever moves smoothly higher or lower without pausing and reversing against you. This is when emotion kicks in, and a decision is taken to close the position at a small profit. The problem is that most traders have several small losses but also few small profits. So the trading account fails to move forward.
