You wanna day trade? Here’s a key lesson: learn to stay flexible. Learn to make smart decisions. Consistently.
But another big key is to learn to manage your risk. That means you don’t put yourself in that situation where you might take a huge, punishing loss. Big losses make it all to easy to blow up your account. Game over.
Sounds way too simple, right? That’s why you gotta practice. You gotta make a trading plan. Plot your entry and exit.
Now, a quick note on exiting trades ... If you know you won’t be able to exit the trade at your goal without risk, you should exit when you can. It may be for a number of reasons — you have plans, you’re traveling, or the trade just goes the wrong way.
Yep, it’s frustrating. But it’s a smart decision.
Let me give you an example. Say you have a trade with a great setup, but you're traveling. So many things can go wrong here. The Wi-Fi on planes can be sketchy. Your flight may be delayed. Too many things can get in the way of you sticking to your plan.
All that makes it hard to manage your risk. And when you’re day trading some of the most volatile stocks ... You gotta learn to manage your risk.
You win some, you lose some. You will lose — no trader has a perfect record. But you continue to grow and learn to make smarter trading decisions.

    I had to exit a great trade today early with at .47 a share with $2000 gain, it ran within 3 hours to 1.20 a share. Basically I missed out on $15,000+ in addition profits because I had to manage risk and life got in the way. 🤦‍♂️ Still feeling good about a green day and sticking to my plan.

    Yes I have and there's also been many times when I should have but I was trying to save a day trade and instead of getting out with profits and burning a day trade I took a loss. Only reason I didn't take it was to save the day trade. I don't do that anymore

    Yep, the number 1 goal is to live to trade another day. For all we know, ARQL could have gotten some bad news and the stock could have started trending downward while you were on the plane. The market does what its going to do regardless of your plans, and you need to be ready for any scenario. Thanks for the vid Tim, always appreciated!

    Have you ever had to exit a trade because you had to do something else?
