Important notes of paper trading practice -
i. It is not possible to get success (profit) in single attempt or even in multiple attempts or even in multiple days or even in multiple weeks
and so on. So keep doing paper trading practice unless you get success and then start your actual day trading.
ii. Success is all depends on your ability, how fast you learn to analyze the market and specific share, how fast you learn to reduce the
impact of emotions like greed and fear and avoid panic in your trading activities.
iii. Don’t start doing actual day trading unless you get success in paper trading. Otherwise, you will end up in making losses
iv. Keep doing paper trading unless and until you start getting profits on and an average one month. If you are not confident then keep
practicing until you get confidence and profit.
v. Check by analyzing different shares like low price shares, high price shares and check how fast and easy is to enter and exit from the
trade. Everyone has their own abilities and qualities.
It is very important for fast entry and exiting in day trading.
vi. If possible make notes of your experience and try to get as much as experience of the market and specific shares.
vii. Do whatever you want to do on paper trading, feel all type of experience, do hundreds of thousands of trade, this is your learning
phase and you are not risking your money so feel the experience of both profits and losses because once you start trading with your
actual money then you have to do only specific and selected trade which is explained in our session of “practical ways of day
trading”.
