Day trading has its challenges and is definitely not for everyone, but one great thing about it is how little time trading sessions take out of your day. The bad news is if you live on the West Coast, you will be getting up really early to trade when the market opens, and preferably before. The good news is professional day traders do not trade all day. The vast majority of my trading happens between 7:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
Please note that trading is not like a desk job, where I might chat with co-workers, attend a meeting, complete some tasks and eat lunch while working. I'm trading intensively. Even so, it's great that I know my money-making day is usually over before noon.
Here's the first place where you will pay the price: You must put in substantial time learning the craft. The alpha types who jump into day trading meme stocks with social media as their guide - they're the walking dead and just don't know it yet. Day trading requires discipline, knowledge and a great deal of practice.
Invest your time and effort into proving that you can generate consistent profits before you think about taking it on the road. Let's say you've done that and like the idea of seeing the world while being able to trade at least occasionally.
