All you wanted to know about day trading👩🏼

:raising_hand_woman:t2:WHAT IS DAY TRADING:
Day trading is a short-term trading strategy that seeks to profit from intraday market swings. A day trader, by definition, will make several deals in a day but will close their positions before the day is out. The idea is to profit quickly from price swings throughout the day. Day traders avoid the risk of maintaining market positions overnight, and they also avoid paying interest on the margin they employ.

:ok_woman:t2:MORE RISKS?
Intraday trading is more risky than investing in the market as a whole. Especially for new traders, it’s important to know the basics of this kind of trading so that you don’t lose money. People are told to only invest what they can afford to lose without having to worry about their finances.

🧏🏼‍♀️RISK MANAGEMENT:
In order to practice effective risk management, traders should never put more than two percent of their whole trading capital at risk on a single trade.

:massage_woman:t3:PICK YOUR MARKET:
For a day trader to be successful, it is essential to have the ability to select appropriate markets for intraday trading. People frequently fail to generate profits because they do not choose profitable stocks to trade during the day. This is the primary reason for this failure. Learning how to make money by picking the appropriate stocks to invest in is an art that can only be gained through experience.

:no_good_woman:t2:WHAT TO EXPECT:
The research conducted on the success rate of day traders are depressing. Evidence reveals that the vast majority of day traders fail, so it is reasonable to conclude that it is not worthwhile for the vast majority. It can be financially rewarding for the few who succeed and can withstand the rigors of day trading.

Nice picture. Keep them coming.

IMO, Risk/Reward should be focused on placing a T/P. My aim is to find a support & resistance zone, or supply and demand area, and to take a profit below where losing traders close their trades or get stopped out. Not the other way around, which is pure guesswork.

Once I have located a suitable T/P I work back to how much risk it would take, and what lot size I need to place my S/L with breathing space to cater for a minor retracement on route to the T/P. I have a 55% win rate.
