Starting Your Day Trading Career: Tips
and Tricks
In this article, we'll provide you with a checklist of all the
essential things you need to focus on to set yourself up for
success as a day trader, whether you have some trading
experience or none at all. We'll discuss software, tools, custom
spreadsheets, how to access capital, and starting with a small
amount of money to take big positions. We'll also provide tips
and tricks to help you avoid common beginner mistakes.
The Common Beginner Trap
When people start trading, they typically get onto an
exchange, find a pattern online, and start trading it without
understanding the risk involved. They may make some money
initially and think they're getting good at trading. However,
when a position goes against them, they end up holding onto
it, waiting for it to come back, and reinforcing the idea that
they only have to wait for their position to turn around. This
psychology can lead to catastrophic losses, and it's a common
trap that most beginner traders fall into.
The Math Behind Trading
Trading comes down to two basic statistics: average risk-
reward and average winning percentage. You need to
understand these stats because they determine how much
money you make and how often you win trades. For instance, if
you have a $500 account and are risking one percent of your
account per trade, with a one-to-two-and-a-half risk-reward
ratio, you can increase your account by 37% over 100 trades,
even if you're only winning 35% of the time.
Risk Factors and Opportunities
If you take a position in the market and the market continues
to go against you, you need to know your risk factors, which
will give you an idea of your potential profit. Even if you're
wrong 65% of the time, you can still grow your account by 37%
if you keep your risks uniform and contained.
