I’ve been helping people learn how to trade since 2013 and there are certain situations (more accurately “traps”) that I’ve seen come up over and over again. When you are a beginner to the stock market and just getting started, it’s one of those things where people simply don’t know what they don’t know. In many cases, the way new traders are thinking and behaving makes logical sense. That’s the challenging part about the stock market and trying to make money from it. What is logical does not always mean it is the wise strategy to use. Let me give you some tips in regards to how to be a day trader the right way and approach the markets with a strategy and expectations that give you a much better chance at success in making consistent money.
