We are making a lot of assumptions without seeing his account. Maybe what happened is not something that can be replicated daily. Maybe he was long a take over stock or short the market in february or caught the recovery in the aftermath of feb. We have no idea how he made his money. I assume he is looking for a strategy where he can make money daily or weekly in all types of markets. Nothing wrong with the path he is taking. He is just not going to get an easy answer.
do you seriously think someone can go from options to day trading which is the most difficult? the daily or 4 h is the place to learn according to me
Why is DT the most difficult? Why should anyone constrain their trading to one discipline? If he likes options, why not learn futures and options on futures? The reality is that not every strategy works all the time. The learning should never end if you want to make a living from trading or manage your own money. You have to keep an open mind to opportunities.
because the day trading chart can be manipulated for short periods of time....the point is if you want to learn better the longer time frame since he has enough capital
Everything is not money based and not everyone is a struggler on elite altough it seems like it. Perhaps he wants a new challenge?
I'm going to make a general statement. What we have not mastered is the most difficult. I can't say that because option postion trading is easier for me, that it should be easier for others. I have never been a equity day trader. But if I practice that skill and find a system that works, that would the easiest for me.
Just go for it. Open up a demo account with AMP, use the TT platform and practice. Once you get the mechanics down, try it with real capital. Remember, some of the posters on this thread have less than $1000 to their names. pay the negativity no mind
