  Trading is not necessary every day, some days are great trading days and other days are days to hold onto your money and see what happens the following day.
  If you have to go an entire week without a single trade, do not worry, sometimes not losing your money on a bad trade is just a wise as winning big on a trade.
  Do not start the day expecting to make any trades at all, instead, trade when the signals say you should trade.
  
• Manage your money, do not let your money manage you.
  A successful day trader known when to let their profits run as well as when to cut their loses.

  If you keep track of all your wins and losses, you will be far better able to manage your money and spending, and ensure you do not lose all of your money.

Be consistent.
You can be a successful day trader if you are wise with your money and do not trade just for the sake of trading.
Be wise, be determined and be successful!
