  3. If you are a new trader, it is better to do dummy trading first. There are a number of online sites available http://moneybhai.moneycontrol.com/. Once you are comfortable and have favorable winning position, you can go with real trading.  A suitable position is when you have 70% of positions against the losing ones.
  4. Target low brokerages. High brokerages can eat into your profits.
