It is important that a day trader is requiring fast executions within prices that are relatively predictable.
High liquidity has an extra advantage because it generally reduces the spread of bid-ask in a certain stock leading to the reduced costs execution of a day trader. Liquidity cannot be measured quantitatively but it is only based on several important factors including volumes, number of shares, ownership breadth, and numbers of market makers.
2. Volume is a liquidity component that is measured easily. A good stock day trading should at least trade 500,000 shares per day or much better if it exceeds this amount. High volumes of stocks are permitting a day trader in acquiring or selling stock in larger quantities without affecting the stocks price.
3. Good volatility. Volatility is the expected or actual movement of the stocks price (up or down) within a certain period of time. Little movements in pricing are not a good candidate in day trading. 2.00 dollars fluctuation in stock prices is a good choice.
4. Transparency of the price is the ability of obtaining information following an order flow in a certain stock called as market depth. Quote systems such as Nasdaq II (displays information from highest ask prices and lowest bid prices) and NYSE (displays information from Highest bid prices and lowest ask prices).
However stock in United Kingdom has a different finance meaning. It refers to a bond and is widely used in all kinds of security markets. Nevertheless shares remain the same if it is used in the issued stocks of a certain corporation.
