One of the most important lessons you need to realize when you are starting to learn how to trade stocks online is that you will be wrong. I wish I could say that being a successful day trader who makes money means you are never wrong, but that is not the case. As someone who makes money from the stock market (working from home), the sooner you realize that at times you will be wrong and lose money, the sooner you put yourself on the pathway to making consistent money. All successful online day trading strategies includes rules and systems that ensure that when the trader is wrong, success in the big picture can still be accomplished.
