Trading For A Living

An SI Board Since May 1998

Emcee: R Stevens	Type: Unmoderated

Introduction Compact

I have recently shifted my source of income to trading almost 100%. I would like to create a forum to talk about the challenges and lessons learned from other's who have or are making the same transition to trading for a living.

This thread is not about which stock to buy. In fact this thread is designed to give us a break from the commentary on individual stocks. Here we will talk about what one needs to know to successfully make a living at trading stocks. What lessons have you learned that made a difference in your income from investing? Did you finally realize today what you have been doing wrong for the last few years? Come on over to Trading For A Living and share it with us.

Here's to our success as traders!
