Kardec Trader lays out how to start trading from scratch: pick one market like forex or futures, learn its specific tools, and commit to heavy screen time. The first six months should be groundwork, building knowledge and a structured daily process with start-of-day routines and session reviews.
For people to be a professional trader, what would you say, what traits or a habit they should focus on and be implementing? I think the smart approach, if I was to go back to 18, would be to a replicate a trading style. Let's just say I want to trade forex, okay? This is the market I want to trade. If I want to trade forex, what are the concepts I want to trade, what are the concepts I want to learn? And stick to that. All right? If I want to trade futures, I need to learn about futures. I need to learn about what way I want to trade. If I want to trade order, flow, what are the different tools, how to utilize the tools and then I need to put in that screen time and then have a process to start my day in terms of trading, to review my my day, to record my sessions and know what I'm looking for. I think the first six months of anyone starting out to achieve that point just requires a lot of groundwork to build up the knowledge, build up the intuition, build up the expertise and I think just process into very deep, well defined process over, over the months.
