Way 2 go Tara! Don't feel bad about the article. I have yet to read any article on day trading where credible research has been done, or that the traders profiled where not made to look like losers,hypsters or sleaze balls(although some deservedly so). Who knows, maybe they'll do a "where are they now?" story in 5 years and interview you from your villa on the Riviera;)

<I chose daytrading because of my interest in the market >

It's important to like what you do and if teaching wasn't for you anymore then pursue trading with a passion.

<I am not a scalper.I make daily trades based on technical indicators, and I am currently learning how to trade for the longer term hold >

There are many ways to trade and make a living. I started with swing trading, went to 100% day trading and am now doing a hybrid of the two methods. I use mostly TA for position trades and it does work so keep pursuing technical approaches.

< I plan to keep trying and learning. I am studying trading just as I would any other profession I hope to excel in. I don't expect to be at the top of my profession yet>

You have a good attitude. When you started on day one teaching you knew a lot less than you did say, 2 years later. Any profession is an ongoing learning process. Don't get discouraged.

I've done this for 3 years and struggled at times but always come away from bad trades having learned something about both myself and my trading methods.

Tara,

I liked your post very much. We trade together through a chat room and it is apparent that you take your job seriously. I too am learning this career from the ground up. I am sorry that the teaching profession lost such a good teacher. If you are as committed to daytrading as you were to teaching, then you can only succeed.

Don't let the turkeys get you down. We will enjoy many profitable trades together during 1999 as we both learn.

Tara -

I stumbled across this thread yesterday, and read your eloquent post this evening. I've been investing for 30+ years, and am interested in exploring the possibility of daytrading. What resources have you discovered to be most helpful? Thanks in advance. Steve

Tara you are doing very,very well for someone starting out.
Take it slow,never lose focus and remember that you learn more from your losses than your gains.
