       Given new rules and increased competition for eighths and quarters,traders were forced to broaden their scope of trading strategies tomaintain profit levels. Today's successful Day Traders no longerconcentrate exclusively on the Nasdaq over the counter market. The tradingof listed stocks on an intraday basis has become an integral part of DayTraders' strategies, adding more than 3,000 stocks to the "universe" ofmore than 6,800 over the counter stocks. In addition, the most successfultraders have implemented a "three tiered" approach to DayTrading: acombination of scalping, fundamental, and technical strategies. The "SOES"trader of yesterday has been replaced by the "Equity Day Trader" of today.Table 1 shows a comparison "The Old SOES Trader" and "Today's EquityDayTrader."
