Well done! Love how you structured this one.
Something very important I learned the hard way after loosing $7,000, Risk Management guys. You need to read, learn and apply those knowledge little by little. Not trying to be millionaire from one day to another. Keeping realistic goals and learning from your mistakes. I started trading with $1,000 account and doubled it in a year. Then I invested $15,000 and when the market got crazy I was to confident and lost money. Then I learned how important was that Stop Loss and Risk/Reward thing. I'm back with more knowledge and making money again. Thank you James for sharing your journey as a day trader. Blessings from Puerto Rico to all of you!

You gave an awesome overview of trading as a business/profession. I quit my job in the summer of 2021 to do trading FT but I wasn't prepared for 2022 where we had a different market cycle. I lost plenty and had and still paying tuition to the market but along the journey I have learned so much from many of my mistakes and also learning about myself. Besides having the technical knowledge, TA and FA knowledge understanding human psychology and having the right mindset are just as important. As human, we are an emotional creature. Always trade with a plan with risk management put in place this will take out emotions out of the game. Stick with the plan and always journalize your trade results to see why certain trades didn't work out. Keep learning and also good to join a trading group to share ideas...not to follow a particular trade. Being your own boss comes with great responsibility but also comes with great rewards. I appreciate you making this video to share your trading journey James!

it helps if your previous experience in jobs has to do with the idea of optimizing. cos thats what day trading is, optimising numbers until it fits the way YOU trade
Where/how did you start? I agree a thousand percent everyone should have their own thing or at least try
so how much % do you pay yourself from your trading account?

Depends on what strategy you will use and how much time you have or are willing to be inside of trades. Stocks generally take longer to set up but also go on long bullish runs. The forex market imo is best for daytading since price is volatile and will go down and or up alot during the day, so both bearish & bullish plays possible. Just do some research on how you want to trade and you'll see fast what market fits the best. With forex you're also able to leverage your trades which can increase profits immensly
for me, it's hard to walk away from market

Im glad im not the only one who looked at day trading as a video game where I get paid. And with video games, I get pretty competitive.
This guy makes like 10k a DAY. He made 5M USD a year. He wants to avoid competition so trying to discourage people.
