There is a lot of time and effort that goes into becoming a successful day trader, and you would be smart to do your homework before hanging your hat somewhere. It’s wise to talk to experienced traders about their journey and of course, do your own due diligence to get a better feel for where you would likely be most comfortable. I have been doing this for 11 years and I still learn something new everyday.
The people who apply the knowledge and experience they acquire are usually the ones that are the most successful, so never get ahead of yourself and never let your ego trade for you, the market is all knowing and has a very unca y way of teaching us lessons, especially when we least expect it. Trading is the truest meritocracy there is. The market doesn’t care how big your account is, what your experience level is, education level, intelligence level or anything else, that means it’s ‘generally’ fair for all participants (yes I know HFT’s and large banks don’t play by the same rules).
