Tips for Mastering Day Trading

There are many things to know when a trader starts day trading (day trading). The following few tips will help ensure that traders start off on the right foot, have a plan, and know how to manage risk

Create a Trading Plan

Before risking money, a trader needs to have some idea of ​​how the trader will profit. The steps that will be taken to achieve the potential profit are outlined in a trading plan. A trading plan is a personal written document that states what the trader will trade and when, how the trader will enter the trade and why, when and how the trader will exit losing and profit trades, and how the trader will determine the size of the trader's position. These are the basics. Additional rules may be added from time to time as needed.


Test Trader's Methods Before Trading with Real Money

With a trading plan, the next task is to test the plan on the account to see how it performs. Demo accounts allow traders to make hypothetical trades that do not risk real money. This is an important step for novice traders because most day traders suffer severe financial losses in the first months of trading.

If the plan doesn't work on the demo account, it won't work in the real world. Revise the trading plan, then return to the demo account to test the changes. This process continues until profit has been achieved for several months in a row. At that time, the possibility of the trading plan is good. The following tips will help bring a trader's trading plan to that point.

Create a Day Trading Routine to Avoid Mistakes

Create a routine for day trading, including getting up at the same time every day, starting trading at the same time each day, and checking for scheduled economic data releases that could affect the market. Exit the trade for the day at the specified time, and then set up a routine to review all the trades made. In the case of each trade, prepare a list that the trader runs to ensure that each trade is in line with the trader's trading plan.

Don't Hold Your Position During High Impact News Announcements

High-impact news releases are unpredictable, both how far traders can push prices, and in which direction. News of high-impact events including corporate earnings announcements and scheduled economic data releases. Avoid holding day trading positions during the event. Instead, wait until after the news is released. Then, use a day trading strategy to take advantage of the volatility that ensues.

Review Weekly and Monthly Trades

Review is critical to long-term success. Without a review session, a trader cannot see the overall picture of what a trader did well and what a trader did poorly. Every day take a screenshot of the trader's chart with all trades marked on it. At the weekend, review the charts for the previous week and note deviations from the trading plan. Take note of any areas of the trading plan that could be improved. Write down a plan for how to implement these improvements. At the end of each month, review the trader's weekly plan and note whether the trader has made progress in this regard or not.

Create a list that must be fulfilled in every trade

When looking at price charts, traders are easily distracted from the trading plan. Prepare a list to run before each trade. The list ensures that the trade meets all the specifications listed in the trading plan. It only takes a second to check the list, but it can save a trader from a lot of bad.

Risk Less Than 1% Capital Per Trade

Stop-losses should be placed in a place that limits the damage caused by trading losses to less than 1% of the trader's account balance.

This 1% risk, in dollars, is account risk. The difference between the trade entry price and the stop-loss price is the trade risk. Trade risk, multiplied by position size, must be equal to or less than acceptable account risk (1% of account).
