I guess one of my biggest reasons for looking into day trading is for the change in lifestyle. I work for a bank here in Australia and sure the job comes with its perks, and sure I can work my way up the corporate chain, but I see what the people sitting above me need to do while their up there. But to put it basically more stress = more pay.
I believe by opening some doors and learning more about day trading I can dictate a bit more of my own life. Work the hours I want to and concentrate more on things that I want to do, rather than feel I need to fulfil the obligations of the "business."
I've already taken the first step and ordered a few books like "The Candlestick Course" & "Trading in the Zone." But I know that I still have a very long way to go.
But I'm determined to succeed as a day trader, and I know that it will take a lot of leg work on my behalf to get there. But I am thankful for forums like these because it gives guys like me a helping hand up to hone my skills and broaden my knowledge.
What are some names of the free trial trade rooms? It sounds like a good opportunity to listen in and see what I’m in for.
I would just like to thank all of you for the contributions on these forums. Hopefully as I progress I can even convince some of you who are willing to mentor a newbie like myself. Or at least help point me in the right direction.
