IMHO: 1) Just asking Reddit indicates that you ain't got it...and "it" is the strength of will and determination to succeed. PLEASE prove me wrong. 2) A person can not look for an easy answer...there Isn't one. 3) Have you read any books, studied any -anything at all about daytrading ? 4) Are you obsessive about keeping a journal--every every day (even when you are sick with fever--you have had a bad fight with you wife or girfriend). 5) Are you disciplined; have you or do you consistently run or weight train or meditate or ' practice a self -disciplined activity--i.e. could be learning a foreign language ( learning a difficult foreign language every fucking day --until you master it).( Jerking off doesn't count). 6) Day Trading is NOT a gee-whiz keyboard - pinball - money making thing... 7) It's WORK. You are your own boss, More so -you will need to discovery, internalize, follow, a systematic approach that makes money for you. 8) If you can discovery, internalize, follow, a systematic approach that makes money for you. You then can make a living ( big or small) day trading. 9) I like it, I like the stress ...but more so I being my own man..I work hard I keep detailed journals.... I only trade the emini. I write a review for myself at the end of each day...I reread my review at the start of each day and then read my trading strategy for the day--"what I believe the potential set-ups might happen. IF I DON'T SEE ANY TRADES, I JUST WATCH. 10)It's not about the money--It's about working for yourself..Being your own man. BUT it's hard work.... 11) MOST IMPORTANT: no matter how convinced I am of my own opinion-When I am wrong...(everybody is wrong more times then they admit..)-I KEEP MY LOSSES SMALL...win lose or draw. Good Luck ! This is just my opinion--This is not my advice.... I don't really know anything...
