Hi Group, journey is going well and slowly trying to form a strategy. Here are the notable books I’ve read and my thoughts: How to make money in stocks, William O’Neill - currently reading this and wish I started it sooner. Giving a good historical context. Advanced techniques in day trading, Daniel aziz - well written and worth the read. But I’m reading on kindle and you really should get hard copy to write notes. Technical analysis masterclass, Ralph shlotman - def good for beginners. Really well explained. I think I will need to progress to technical analysis of financial markets. Would really appreciate your recommendations on books to sit down and help formulate a strategy. Still feeling a little overwhelmed with all the content out there.

What are your short-term and long-term goals in day trading, and how are you planning to achieve them?

just getting settled in from work tonight...im going to try and give it a strong 15-20 mins of studying

Today talking trading station set up, keep it simple……… When you sit down to trade, you want to make sure you have everything you need at your disposal in a place where you can focus. For beginners, its best to keep it simple. Having 2 monitors is ideal, especially if you are going to be trading options, but not required. Personally, I like to make sure I have a few specific things: 🟢 A mouse (as opposed to using a laptop touchpad - a mouse makes clicking a lot easier and just makes one less thing you have to think about. It is by no means necessary though. 🟢 A notepad and paper or whiteboard - if you have ideas or notes you need to take, it makes more sense to write them down rather than try and juggle another window. Totally up to you though. 🟢 Adequate Desk Space - it may seem like a minor thing, but having enough desk space can make a huge difference.

So this week I’ve being reorganising my personal schedule to give me more allocated time to dedicate my self to this journey. At current I do two jobs and time can be a little tight so what I’ve decided todo is to change things around ensure I get to bed for 10pm and be up for 4am, gives me 6 hours sleep, my plan is to study 4am to 6am every day and the gym 6:30 to 7:30. This in turn gives me 3 additional hours a day. I personally think time management is a big part of being a successful day trader. I’ve included a list of sleep habits from some of the most successful out there. Ready for another great week of study and hard work, just remember anything that’s worth value requires hard work and grit. If you show up every day and just take one step towards your goals and visualise them fail they will sure enough become reality, you have to want it as much as you want to breath.
