Day Trading 101

Day Trading 101 does exactly what the name promises -- it walks absolute beginners through the fundamentals of getting started with day trading. Produced by Trading Simulator, the show has just 9 episodes released monthly, but each one is structured as a building block in a logical curriculum. The episodes progress from setting up your trading hardware and software, through understanding price and timing dynamics, to pre-market preparation routines and actual trade execution techniques. There's a dedicated episode on Level 2 market data, which is one of those topics that confuses a lot of new traders but rarely gets a full episode treatment elsewhere. Another episode tackles FOMO -- the fear of missing out that causes so many beginners to chase trades they shouldn't be in. The emphasis on using trading simulators before risking real money runs through the entire show, which makes sense given the producer's background. It's good advice that most new traders ignore to their detriment. The show makes a compelling case for why paper trading isn't just practice -- it's where you build the muscle memory and emotional resilience you need before going live. With a perfect 5.0 rating from 6 reviews, the sample size is tiny but the feedback is positive. The content is current enough (last episode December 2024) and the foundational nature means it won't go stale quickly. This is clearly aimed at people who haven't placed their first trade yet, or who've been trading for a few months and realize they skipped some important steps. Experienced traders won't find much new here. But as a starting point for someone considering day trading, the structured approach and practical focus make it a solid on-ramp.
