Day Trading for Beginners

A Step-by-Step Plan for Your First 6 Months

The 6 Month Blueprint

Below are 4 steps that took me 6 months to complete. 

I worked a few hours during the week and mainly on the weekends.

You might be able to do all 4 steps in 1 month... Or it might take you a full year.

Everyone's schedule is different, and everyone's knowledge base is different. So it doesn't matter how long it takes you, however, these seem to be the most important steps that beginners should tackle first.


I spent the first 3 months studying some stock market basics, and setting up my brokerage account (steps 1 and 2). 

Month 4 was dedicated to options (step 3). This step is optional

Months 5 and 6 were dedicated to technical analysis (step 4). This step is essential
