This is a continuation of my post about day trading competence, I want to elaborate a bit more as to why most day traders fail.  Click here to read the previous post.

How Is This Going To Work? Logistics, Payments, Finding People

How Is This Going To Work? Logistics, Payments, Finding People

For me, day trading is a lifestyle, not a profession.

In order for me to train someone how to day trade, I want them to experience my lifestyle as well (check out […]
