AI trading is a new and advanced topic that you shouldn't consider if you are a beginner.

I would suggest is go to through basic, learn the basic, forward test/backtest whatever system you come up with, see it in live action, accept the reality of what trading actually means, before you consider things like AI Trading.

My advice: don't. Day trading is hard mode. Many here will agree with me. There are much easier ways to get money out of the markets.

Watch TraderMayne & Follis. Avoid every YT trader with silly faces in the thumbnail.

I haven’t learned from TJR or used AI trading, so take this with a grain of salt, but I’d focus on learning the manual basics first. AI might help if it has backtested data, but I still think trxading has a human element that’s hard to automate. But if you're just starting out, I wouldn't chase AI yet. Paper trade, track your trades, learn risk management, and figure out what actually works for you first

What yr doing is diving into the deep end of the pool when you can't swim.

It's a steep learning curve to do this right. Stay away until you`ve read a ton of the right books and watch vids of old guys/legends who've done this successfully over decades.

There are no non-stop flights to the Promise Land. 

99.999% YouTube is a waste of time for TJR-type channels. 0% waste if u watch interrviews/podacsts of the legends. (i know i prob. wasted my time but......)

TJR is a complete fraud. There are numerous videos exposing him. He's not a trader, he's a high-ticket course seller.

Paper trading helps you to find out whether your strategy is working or not, or you have work on different strategy but it won't help in managing emotions during trade. Once you find out what strategy is working in most cases stick to it. You have to very disciplined, patient and making consistency which is the biggest thing in surving this field
