We all get started in the stock market as a brand new day trader. There is nothing wrong at all with being a beginner day trader. With that being said, you need to understand that when you are trying to learn how to make money online by day trading stocks, you should be using an organized and logical strategy. Once again we have another real life example of why, when you are learning how to trade, going the "free route" actually carries a whole lot more risk with it. Not only in terms of money, but more importantly, the time being wasted. There is a lot of free information out there that is worthwhile; however, there is also a lot of information that can be misleading, so you need to be aware. If you want to honor your time best (and not waste it), then please consider these potential pitfalls that you can easily fall into when you are a new trader just getting started in the stock market.
