more ancient goods!
The first time I tried d/trading I got killed. This was the best kick in the pants I ever had! I realized that to be successful you had to have two things: technical analysis knowledege and a rock solid system. The first thing I did was read every Technical Analysis and day trading book I could get my hands on (a bit like going to college!). I then looked at hundreds of random charts to become familiar with identifying patterns.

All of the books on day trading were basically written about futures and options. So I was still lacking knowledge of a system for day trading stocks (besides support and resistance). I bought Jeff Cooper's book "Hit and Run Trading" and tweaked a few of the strategies he describes and bingo! My bottom line has exploded! (I am in no way associated with Jeff Cooper-wish I was).

A few of his recommendations go against DTO's recommendations, i.e. - liquidity, stop losses, etc. Both are correct. The system you trade has to fit your personality.

If you put in the homework and maintain your confidence and discipline, you should have no problem averaging $300/$600 per day starting with 20k.
