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.

  1. Protecting your capital is the quickest way to grow your account.
  2. If you feel like you’re missing out, the run is already over.
  3. You will never catch the entire move.
  4. Support & resistance lines are great price targets.
  5. More trading does not equal better trading.
  6. Trading 1–3 high-quality setups per day will keep your mind sharp.
  7. Trading fatigue is real and causes you to make poor decisions.
  8. Use trendlines to capture as much of the move as possible.
  9. Trading isn’t meant to be a roller coaster- if it is, you’re not managing your risk.
  10. Only risk 1% of your account per trade.
  11. Never risk more than 3% of your account each day.
  12. Smart money loves supply and demand zones — pay attention to them.
  13. Risk:reward ratios should be 1:2 or 1:3 minimum.
  14. The higher the timeframe, the stronger the move.
  15. Each trade ends in a small win, small loss, breakeven, or big win. Never a big loss.

Follow these rules and watch your trading transform!
