Hello, I am new to say trading and gorging myself on this forum with all the threads I can get my hands on. I am looking for someone who would be willing to mentor me or help me get a solid foundation to day trading. Or any threads that really helped you get rolling day trading. My name is Brandon and I am 22 I plan on day trading part time til I build enough experience to invest more capital. This will be my personal journal and start to day trading. Any help I can get is greatly needed.
You'll find no one here that'll really help you. Pm me and i can share a large library of online books if you like

Hi Brandon - it might help if you state what it is you are going to do exactly - no complicated "trading plan", just state very simply what you think is the best way for you to proceed, based on what info you have come across so far. J_S
Options trading, let alone Options day trading, will bring you losses. Don't do it. There are better ways to make money in the markets.
Why option trades as opposed to stock trades, and what do you consider very basic day trading strategies? J_S
Before you do anything buy six books and lease seats on many exchanges. And learn to write very long, boring, confusing posts to impress the delivery drivers who're pretending to be super traders on this forum.
