How to become a millionaire day trading?

Do you want to become a millionaire day trading?

That's easy, just do the opposite of what I'm doing!!!

Today was the worst day trading ever. I lost $40 gross I didn't even bother to calculate the commissions. 3 momentum trades got me there. all of them failed. 2 of the trades were on the same stock : SYA.

Here is a screen shot:




Lost most of my money trading on this stock. Entry was at 13. I waited patiently for a breakout but the 2 attempts to break out failed.

To be honest I could have cut my losses after 2 or 3 cents but I waited too long, my prayers were not answered.

Tip: Don't wait too long, if it's a momentum trade then either it breaks out or it doesn't, cut your losses fast.

That's it, I'm done for today, just imagine what it would be like if I were to trade larger volumes say 500 instead of 100.

That's it folks, hope you did better than me.

Oh, one stock did succeed. I traded STI, waited for the resistance to break and it did. a few bucks gain but that didn't cover my earlier losses.
