15 Rules to Becoming a Profitable Day Trader
If you do it right, day trading is worth much more than your career.
But 95% fail to do so.
When learning a high-income skill like this, there are certain rules you have to follow.
Trying to grow your day trading account can suck your emotions dry.
I know this feeling all too well.
I struggled for years to become a profitable day trader.
Until I discovered what actually works…
But before I tell you…
I’m not a financial advisor.
I’m just like you, but a few years ahead.
I went to college, was unhappy with my career, and wanted a way out of my 9–5.
So I perfected this skill and ended up becoming a self-made millionaire trader.
Without further ado…
My 15 rules to becoming a profitable day trader.
- Protecting your capital is the quickest way to grow your account.
- If you feel like you’re missing out, the run is already over.
- You will never catch the entire move.
- Support & resistance lines are great price targets.
- More trading does not equal better trading.
- Trading 1–3 high-quality setups per day will keep your mind sharp.
- Trading fatigue is real and causes you to make poor decisions.
- Use trendlines to capture as much of the move as possible.
- Trading isn’t meant to be a roller coaster- if it is, you’re not managing your risk.
- Only risk 1% of your account per trade.
- Never risk more than 3% of your account each day.
- Smart money loves supply and demand zones — pay attention to them.
- Risk:reward ratios should be 1:2 or 1:3 minimum.
- The higher the timeframe, the stronger the move.
- Each trade ends in a small win, small loss, breakeven, or big win. Never a big loss.
