Hey everyone,
I’m pretty new to day trading and I’ve been trying to learn for a while now, but honestly I’m kind of confused at this point.
I already know this isn’t a get rich quick/overnight thing. I’ve also been messing around with paper trading so I can practice without risking real cash. But even with that, I still don’t really understand how people actually go from “learning” to being consistently profitable.
What really throws me off is seeing people doing really well, especially with options, while at the same time hearing how risky it is and how most beginners blow up accounts. I just don’t understand what I’m missing.
I know Propfirms are strict and have like a $2000 payout max. I’ve thought about Think or Swim too or Webull. I am aware of trading view which is helpful.
I know there are people on TikTok who try to sell courses and mentorship’s and show paper trading money. I’ve also considered swing trading first but don’t know what stocks to buy whether it’s futures, forex, options.
Would really appreciate some help and advice. A
