There are many bright spots when it comes to being a day trader and buying and selling stocks online. The obvious things such as making money while you work from anywhere you want are always the ones most beginners talk about, and rightfully so. With that being said, another fact about trading that I find the most powerful and encouraging is that you do NOT need to be perfect in order to make money. Day trading is without doubt a very challenging and difficult, so if you have expectations going into it that you will be perfect and never have any rough patches, you are liar to yourself. There are going to be times where you do dumb things, are totally wrong, etc., yet, you can still walk away making money. This assumes of course you have a valid strategy in the first place, but that’s why the market is great. The market does not require perfection in order to give you profit. Yes, it does require an actual strategy that has rules and risk management systems; however, within the context of that strategy, you do not need to be perfect. Let me show you some of my personal day trading results that show this overall concept in motion. You’ll see that I was not anywhere close to being perfect, yet, I was still able to capture some profits from the market!
