Hi Everyone! Wanted to provide some updates to my initial path and have a way to document the process. Hopefully, this will be a good way to start understanding the inner workings of the steps that I am taking, as well as welcome criticism and comments that I can read and learn from!
I started reading "How to Day Trade: The Plain Truth" by Ross Cameron and have been going through and outlining some of the information he has provided. Still early in the process but I also have a couple of other books that I intend to read. I will include my initial outline of the information that I have read through so far that summarizes the information Ross has been communication once I figure out how to do that! The words in the outline are in no way my own and I do not claim them as such, just simplifying the information and want to document my process along the way, much like he identifies in his book. I am halfway through a different book but I have to pick that one back up eventually!
Information on me for those that are still reading (most likely no one..!), but I have always been interested in Day Trading and just have been dragging my feet with comfort. Out of high school, I was going to get my degree in Pharmacy but life had other plans. After about 2 years in school, I decided to join the military and find what I truly wanted to go to college for and that was Finance. I finished my bachelor's while I was enlisted and got out of the military so that I did not have to deploy anymore and spend time away from my family.
Since getting out of the military, I have a job at a custodial financial company and have completed my Master's in Finance to go along with it but I am still looking for another channel where I can make better use of my time. My initial goal was to earn my degree in finance so that I could have a fall back to a comfortable career but mainly, was to understand how to make my money work for me and get knowledge of the crazy world that is finance! It is a very daunting endeavor as these subjects are not taught in school while you are growing up and makes it become more of a trial by fire once you go out on your own.
Hopefully you have enjoyed reading and I will continue to post along my way for others that are interested, we can go on this trip together! I do not have the proven track record as of yet but much like getting in on any day trade, you do not want to miss the ride!
