Hey Kakashi, welcome.
I wouldn’t jump straight into day trading, you will get chewed up and spat out pretty quick…
Read, read and study and listen to podcasts.
Figure out what trading style will suit your personality, do you want to be staring at a screen all day? or would you rather swing trade based on end of day signals?
If you are expecting to make a certain amount of money every week to cover cost of living/ mortgage etc. just don’t! LOL
Do you like technical analysis or are you a more macro person…ie: trading fundamentals?
The most important lesson is resilience.. ( read preserve capital )
Some resources.....
“ The mental edge in trading” by Jason Williams can help you assess your innate personality traits and can help figure out what trading style suits.
For understanding market structure…Brian Shannon of Alphatrends has some great trend following advice
Michael Covel’s “Trend following”
Chat with traders podcast is 250 episodes of absolute gold!
Investors underground
Trade on the fly
Hit and run candlesticks..
Michael **le from Fairmont equities posts chart analysis every week that is very basic, but still interesting..
There are dozens of books to read and resources like the market wizards series..
In my opinion the best learning tool is your own trading diary…it will tell you where you went wrong and right.
In the end the market will extract the cost of education
Good luck and come over and join us in the short term trading thread if you like.
