In this episode, we break down one of the biggest questions new traders have—can you really make money as a day trader? I’ll share the key differences between day trading and swing trading, the pros and cons of each approach, and which path I believe is best for beginners who want to build consistency and longevity in the markets.

We’ll also dive into one of the most overlooked parts of trading success: trade reviews. I’ll walk you through why they’re so important, and give you a simple, time-efficient way to integrate them into your daily routine—without overcomplicating the process.

In this episode, we continue the conversation on growing your trading like a business. I’ll share a coaching session I had with a trader on setting realistic expectations and the best resource to help you do the same.
