Expecting Too Much Too Soon
This much is true about day trading: it’s one of the most exciting and
exhilarating jobs in the world! And stories many day traders tell of riches
accumulated through this economic activity add more excitement, desire,
and urgency for many to get into it.
However, too much excitement and desire resulting from many day trading
success stories can be very detrimental to newbie day traders. Let me
correct myself: it is detrimental to newbie day traders. Why?
Such stories, many of which are probably urban legends, give newbies
unrealistic expectations of quick and easy day trading riches. Many

beginner day traders get the impression that day trading is a get-rich-quick
scheme!
It’s not. What many day traders hardly brag about are the times they also
lost money and how long it took them to master the craft enough to quit
their jobs and do it full time. And even rarer are stories of the myriad
number of people who’ve attempted day trading and failed. It’s the dearth
of such stories that tend to make day trading neophytes have unrealistic
expectations about day trading.
What’s the problem with lofty day trading expectations? Here’s the
problem: if you have very unrealistic expectations, it’s almost certain that
you’ll fail. It’s because unrealistic expectations can’t be met and therefore,
there’s zero chances for success.
One of the most unrealistic expectations surrounding day trading is being
able to double one’s initial trading capital in a couple of months, at most.
Similar to such expectations is that of being able to quit one’s day job and
live an abundant life in just a few months via day trading. Successful day
traders went through numerous failures, too, before they succeeded at day
trading and were able to do it for a living.
If you decide to give day trading a shot, have realistic expectations. In fact,
don’t even expect to profit soon. Instead take the initial losses as they come,
limiting them through sensible stop-loss limits, and learning from them.
Eventually, you’ll get the hang of it and your day trading profits will start
eclipsing your day trading losses.
