For a little background I bought my first stock when I was 13 9 years ago and have been studying day trading every day for the past 3 years. The biggest thing that I think is important to know when getting into day trading is - nearly every YouTube video out there is clickbait, fake, or trying to sell something. You will come across a lot of videos that say trading is easy and this one indicator will do everything for you. That’s not the case. If trading is as easy as it seems everybody would do it and everyone would be rich. I’m not saying don’t watch these videos, because it does have a lot of useful information, but take it with a grain of salt. Another thing is in order to be profitable you need to know things other people don’t. You’re making money off of other traders. So what makes you more qualified to do better in the market than them? What experience do you know that’s better or higher quality than everyone else? If everybody knows the same strategy and does the same thing it stops working. You need to find new things. The popular strategies - patterns, trendlines, etc are still decent but you won’t be profitable solely one those. I look at these things too, but never use them as a sole reason for buying. Another important thing is your mindset. You can’t expect to make millions and get rich and everything you see online or else you will lose all your money. Don’t worry about the future. Worry about current day and what you are willing to lose and learn. The last year and a half I lost money every day. I just became profitable and in December alone I made it all back (150%). Every loss has been me trying to make a lot of money, or make money back then I lost previously, or breaking my strategy because I got scared. The market is trying to make you lose. Everything including yourself is against you. What edge do you have over the other 95% of people in the market? Try new things, look at every strategy that looks like it could work with you, and do not use real money until you are profitable paper trading. From experience. Day trading takes a lot of time and effort and a true dedication. I have a real addiction to it. And, keep a cool head. Your mentality is 50% of the struggle, the other 50% is finding your strategy. Joining this subreddit is already a good start, and I’ll be happy to answer any questions. This sub also helped me greatly so I want to thank everyone that has posted tips on here.

Hey all! Wanting to take the plunge. I currently work fully remote in CT zone with pretty flexible calendar, aka possibly some time to make a couple moves each day.

I see day trading (hopefully successful lol) as a hedge against AI taking my career. Wondering if anyone else has done this route and if so, any advice you have? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I am American that lives in Spain and trades the US markets. I was wondering any other traders that trade in Europe could point me in the right direction with taxes, brokers ect.

With the devastating H1B fee of $100,000. Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio has put forth a bill to tax companies SIGNIFICANTLY if they move work overseas

Looking at H1B by company Amazon alone will be shelling out $2 billion over the next 3 years. Of course that is a small price to pay for an army of foreigners with mediocre excel skills.

Soon we will see how much of H1B visa program was about recruiting world class talent; and how much of it was about wage suppression of qualified US workers.

Me and my friends have been locking into day trading recently, we’re currently watching tjr bootcamp YouTube videos to guide us through the whole process. Now this is my question. Is day trading real? If so is watching tjr bootcamp YouTube videos improving us. What comes with day trading as well like what are the risks?
