Before choosing any profession in life we must train and condition ourselves for it. This can be in the way of training, education and experience or any other way that is appropriate to train ourselves for the profession we intend to follow in life. The same holds true for choosing to trade stocks, futures or forex also as a profession. It is important that a trader understands that trading is a profession, and not a hobby. If one approaches trading simply as a hobby then the results will be similar to those of a hobby. However if a trader does approach trading with a sense of it being his or her only profession in life to generate revenue then they will truly focus on it and work very hard at it to become better and good at it and consistently profitable at it at some point down the road.To succeed at the trading profession or any other profession for that matter in life we need to work with the right tools all of the time. To be able to use all of those tools we need to start by spending time and a decent sum of money on our chosen profession. In the trading profession it is very important to choose the right type of day trading software or system to become a successful day trader. Besides just a good day trading software or system, a trader must also be prepared for the equally important mental aspect of trading. The mental aspect is what separates the top 10% of winning traders from the remaining 90% that start the profession and fall off down the road soon after. There are tons of trading systems out there that promise you the sky and deliver absolutely nothing of known value. That is why it is safe to start with a low priced system and train yourself really well on it. We personally like the Watts Trading System from Ryan Watts of the Watts Trading Group. All systems will work some of the time but not all systems will work all of the time. If we choose to give the same system to two different traders at the same time it will be extremely rare to get identical results from both the traders. That is because of the way we think as human beings and the way our minds operate. No two people at any given time can ever think alike no matter how hard they try.That is why in the trading profession the day trading software or system does 20% of the work and the human mind does the remaining 80% of the work. That is why it is so important to start with a small sum of money in trading and work your way up gradually to bigger sums of money eventually. Stick with just one trading system that works for you and fits your personality and ego and stay with it forever. Choosing the right trading time frame to trade the system allows you to trade in your comfort zone and you dictate the stops you are comfortable with, and not let the system dictate the stops to you. This way you can have several losses in a row and still be able to overcome them and make money in the long run as you will have your trading capital still intact. And remember to keep practicing on the system outside of normal and regular market hours too. Trading is a journey and not a sprint or marathon, so never be in a lot of hurry to make a lot of money quickly in a small amount of time either. Learn the trading profession well. All systems must and do go through drawdowns. Just stick with your system and follow its rules religiously and you will most likely come out a winner in the long run. Many traders fail to give a system enough time to produce the results they would like due to their impatience and lack of discipline. It might take a while to find the right day trading system for you, but when you do find it, stick with it. A good trading system is like a husband or a wife, you will fight with it some of the time but will love it if it makes you happy in the long run and you have decided to stick with it permanently.Good luck with your journey.
