Today marks the start of Season 2 of the podcast and I hope to upload an episode every week (no guarantees with my busy personal schedule ahead). As I posted a few weeks ago in the group, I've started to study a few trading strategies. However today the podcast started up again so wanted to share some links if you're interested: You can listen to the episode here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2289984/15556893 The Classroom has a course now called Trading Strategy. I plan on uploading modules on my progress with learning various strategies. Overtime perhaps it will be a good resource which can highlight various strategies that beginners might want to pursue.

… Sarah(learning about)Trades is more apt. I currently work full-time in healthcare. After 25 years in the field, I’m ready to move on. As a single mother of 2 teens (age 18 and 16), time and money are short, but life is short! I turn 50 next month - what better time to change the focus from taking care of everyone else, to following my own interests? Investment is a fascinating, new world for me. Fortunately, I happened upon the Day Trading for Beginners Podcast for a primer in trading. I like the realistic, practical approach and easy-to-digest lessons. Keep them coming, and thanks to all for sharing your progress!

In the WIKI (link below) there is a section called "How to Tell the Story of a Stock", which is an important thing you will need to do before entering any trade. Here is an excerpt from the post: "And that is the story of MSFT. When you look at a chart you need to be able to see the story it is telling you and then judge the price action accordingly. Once you know the story the issue of what is noise and what is real, the question of when to get out and when to stay in, all become much more clear - as it either fits with the story or it doesn't. If you don't know the story then you are looking at numbers without context, and that is always a dangerous way to reach the wrong conclusions." Over the past 6 months or so I have been watching some technical analysts give their commentary on stocks and the market, and I found that Matt, AKA The Great Mattsby to give some great analysis IMO. Now, there are so many people doing this online, and I’m sure there are other great commentators, but I do really feel that Matt knows his stuff. I have been watching his YouTube videos and commentary on X, and he’s been spot on many times. IMO, and remember I’m just a beginner, he knows how to tell the story of a stock and the markets in general. This post from the WIKI about how to tell the story of a stock instantly made me think of Matt. I've been watching a lot of Matt’s analysis, and I recently decided to purchase his course and learn more about technical analysis and his strategy. I don’t know Matt personally and have no affiliation with him, but I’ll link his social media accounts below if you want to learn more. I asked Matt what his edge was and this is what he told me. I’m paraphrasing here: "Recognizing market symmetry on every chart is my edge. When you can do this, you can just let the charts do what they are supposed to do, and trade without emotion. The more you do this the more you will see every chart follows it." Matt is more of a position trader. So he doesn’t day trade. Very simply he buys at support and sells at resistance. He can recognize market symmetry on any chart. He gets excited when stocks are at their support levels and is cautious when things are approaching resistance levels.

So little back ground into on my self, I’m 35 from the UK I current work two jobs I work as a skipper for a company called ABP sailing pilot launch boats only working 140 days a which gives me free time. I also work as an uber driver so I like to keep my self busy. I’ve always been passionate about becoming a day trader, I’ve just not had the correct mental focus and always thought in past that this was a quick subject to learn. I now understand it’s a minimum of 2/3 years just to get to grips with the basics and I not have a plan to go on this joinery. My biggest lessons so far have being not to rush this, and don’t get disheartened and give up, this skill is amazing and give you so many options to which you can take any where in the world but it requires dedication, commitment and you have to change as a person to become a successful day trader, hard work and consistency always pays. If anyone is looking to partner up for accountability please let me know. I am dedicated to this and I know there is no magic bullet just hard work.

Hi All, I’ve just joined and looking forward to learning and going through this hopefully positive experience with everyone. I have very limited experience of trading and I’m keen to learn. Thanks Jay
