Day Trading

I have been studying the market for about 2-3 hours a day for maybe 5 months now, and I have developed some guidelines. Just so you know, a few weeks is considered swing trading. But there is no "quick money" and here's why:

Investing in mutual funds should require about 20 hours of research
Investing in stocks – 100 hours
Trading – 250 specialized hours

What I mean by specialized is that if you trade stocks, you need to be studying stock price movement and trading strategies EXCLUSIVELY for 250 hours. Personally, I have, at the least, around 350, and I have spread my knowledge around to stocks, options, general education and investing, futures, financial info — everything. I haven't even started paper trading my strategy, and I expect to be another 150 hours from trading, which I expect to start in July.

The smartest way to start off is to sit on the sidelines and educate yourself until you feel you're ready for whatever you decide to take on. I hate it sometimes, but I know the profits from my learning will be more than worth it. Best of Luck!

Btw, if you cut corners, you will regret it! There are plenty of people who either give up or cut corners and fail. It takes a special kind of person in this field. Email me with any questions if you like.
