Each day the StockSavvy staff scans the major markets for low risk setups and narrows them down to a pair of free stock picks that we submit for your consideration. We give you one long play and one short play so you are prepared regardless of which way the stock market turns.

Day Trading Savvy: There is a popular saying among day traders: "Plan your trade and trade your plan." This is for good reason. Without a carefully thought out trading plan there is no consistency in the way a trader approaches the market and thus no consistency in the results. So spend some time and effort writing your trading plan and treat it as your bible. Check out the free Savvy University article entitled Trading Plan 101. At the very least, write down your initial entry, stop loss, and profit target before each trade. Make some simple rules for yourself and follow them religiously.

Candlestick Charting Colors: If the closing value for the current day is greater than the opening value for the current day, the current day's candlestick is hollow. If the previous day's closing value is less than or equal to the closing value for the current day, and the current day's closing value is less than the current day's opening value, the current day's candlestick is black. If the previous day's closing value is greater than the closing value for the current day, and the current day's closing value is less than the current day's opening value, the current day's candlestick is red.
