RE: My journey to becoming a day trader!
Hey, I transitioned from trading part time to full time about 8 years ago, so I've already been through the transition.
If you need any help or have any questions then please just ask me. I don't know everything, but I do know what it's like on the day to day grind...
oh and I'm new to Steemit and don't understand any of it lol
Thank you! I’m up to my eyeballs trying to squeeze this into my schedule, but determined to make it happen. Ive learned this week the importance of a strong trading platform with hotkeys as I’ve read much about.
hotkeys ? pretty fast action then :-) I tend to trade on 1 hr and 4 hr, and trying to move up to dailys at the moment
Yes, I’m looking to hold positions for just a few minutes at a time, max. I’ve been using Think or Swim mobile platform on an iPad and there’s just too many steps to execute a trade. The desktop version doesn’t seem to be hamstrung.
my platform is pretty good, instant execution directly off the chart if I want, one click. I'm a bit more conservative though and like to plan ahead for a bit. Besides, trading hourlies means I get to shitpost on the inernet for 50 minutes every hour lol.
I tried scalping in my early days just to build up some quick cash and it was ok, very stressful though.
