Before I start day trading, I need to assess my income and retirement goals, my personal risk tolerance, the tools and technology that are most effective for my style, how much I can benefit from a strong community of fellow traders, and how dedicated and disciplined I will be in my practice in order to follow my rules and continuously improve.

This day trading stuff is so easy that I don't need to ask any questions before I get started. I will succeed in day trading, just like everything else in my life, because I'm special and also lucky.

Before I start day trading, I need to learn everything about the stock market and the options market. I will read every book I can find about trading and keep trying to memorize all of the techniques. If I just absorb enough knowledge, I'm destined to become proficient.

I'll ask a few questions if they come to mind, but only if somebody else will do the work to answer them. The stock market is so simple I don't see how I can lose money. Stocks either go up or down, right? Piece of cake.
