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.
