By plrprousers | March 18, 2010

Very often people ask if is possible to become a day trader, and trade for a living.. The answer:: “Yes, you can!” However, you must receive professional  training to become skilled in online day trading.

There are many pretty good websites about Day Trading that offer great information about training. Just type “day trading training” into the Google search engine.

Exactly how much do you need to take in trading every week to start to day trade for a living? How much would you need to replace what you earn from your current job?

People need to know what they need to earn in order to trade full time.You need to know what you need to earn each week and plan accordingly.

Let’s look at an example and say you need to make 100,000 dollars eachyear to leave your current employment. Let’s look at whatyou must do to earn this six figure day trading.

100,000 dollars a year is about 8,000 dollars each month, or 2,000 dollars each. We are considering that you take two weeks off,of course.

What it takes is knowing what you are doing. You learn this by getting trained by a professional trader that is successful.

Where have you heard this before? Is this not true in becoming successful in any field?

Once you learn a proven trading method, you must practice. Practice on a simulated account until you have complete confidence in your chosen trading strategy, and more importantly in yourself.

Assuming you choose to trade the S&P 500 Emini and your goal is to make just a single point each day. It would be required to trade 10 contracts on each trade. The requirement is around 1000 dollars for each contract. Do this and you will reach your goal.

Reaching your goal is the key  to day trading success. Most importantly, you must have a sound trading strategy, and it must work effectively in the market or markets you trade.

It is imperative to master your day trading method and follow your money management rules.There is no magic. Becoming a professional day trader requires dedication to your education as a day trader, and commitment to honing your skills.
