One of the first keys to success you need to learn as a day trader is that, at times, your stock trades can “go bad”. Day trading stocks online and making money requires you to have a strategy that accounts for this fact.

When you are prepared for these risk and truly learn how to understand them, you can be wrong with several trade ideas in a small amount of time and still potentially come away “still” making money. This is a powerful fact about the stock market and day trading online. Let me show you how this all works in the real world of online stock day trading.
