I quit my 9-5 to DAYTRADE full time when I was 23

Since then I went from making $5k a year to $20k a MONTH.

Here are 7 things I learned in the process:

(1/7) Risk Management is Everything:

I quickly realized that to make consistent profits, I needed to control my losses. It’s not about the gains I could make, but about how much I could afford to lose while staying in the game.

(2/7) Education Never Stops:

The markets are always changing, and my learning had to keep up.

Books, courses, webinars – every bit of knowledge I gained translated into better trading decisions.

(3/7) Discipline Over Impulse:

Setting trading rules and actually following them was harder than I thought, but it paid off.

Discipline became my most valuable habit.

(4/7) Emotional Control is Key:

There were times when a loss hit me hard.

I learned that being able to bounce back emotionally is just as important as recovering financially.

(5/7) Emotional Control is Key:

There were times when a loss hit me hard.

I learned that being able to bounce back emotionally is just as important as recovering financially.

(6/7) Journaling Isn’t Just for Teens:

Keeping a trade journal wasn’t something I was excited about, but it became my playbook for success.

It helped me understand my wins and, more importantly, my losses.

(7/7) Patience Pays:

In my early days, I thought more trades meant more money. It doesn’t.

Patience to wait for the right setup often meant the difference between profit and loss.
