Career

Does it feel like a white-knuckle ride whenever you put on a trade? If the answer is yes, something is going wrong. This kind of excitement may be great for the recreational trader. But for the day trader it can be devastating.

Trading is tiring and stressful. It requires a lot of concentration and precise decision making. Lowering stress can improve your performance.

Becoming a successful independent trader is something many people aspire to. You can be your own boss, set your own goals, and choose your own schedule.

The real truth about day trading is much less fanciful, though definitely exciting and certainly capable of making you wealthy if you have the skill, knowledge and temperament.
