  • When Did He Start?

After graduating with a degree in business from Michigan State University in the 1980s, Scott started working with General Motors. After 25 years of working as a reputed Zone Manager with GM, Scott decided to resign and pursue day trading as his full-time profession.

 

After several years of learning, making mistakes, retrying, and getting inspired by Meir Barak, Scott has established himself as one of the most successful day traders and a passionate mentor to look up to.

  • How Did He Acquire The Required Knowledge and Skills?

Like any newbie day trader, Scott had to face numerous challenges at the beginning of his career as a day trader. It was not easy to start making a living day trading. He read many books and gathered as much knowledge as possible.

How Does Scott’s Day As A Day Trader Look Like?

For those who are aspiring to make a living day trading stock, Scott’s trading day can be an excellent example to learn.

  • Preparing for the Trade: One of the most critical aspects of day trading for a living is to be prepared for the trade, every day. This includes getting the required information about the world news, stocks of interest, gaps, European and Asian market trends, among others. At the same time, a day trader also needs to be prepared mentally for the day to come. All the feelings and emotions associated with the previous day need to be brushed aside before starting to trade for the day.
  • Following the exchanges and the stocks: The next step is to follow the exchanges and specific stocks closely. All the price movements, volumes, and related events are followed meticulously. This gives an overall picture of the market.
  • Especially, Scott starts his premarket routine by looking for gap stocks. Those are often stocks of companies that released earnings after closing yesterday, or before opening today.
  • Trading for a defined number of hours: The actual process of day trading starts after preparing for the trade and following the markets and stocks. Scott trades for a pre-defined number of hours every day. He ensures that he is entirely dedicated towards his trading during those hours, without any distractions.
  • Concluding the Trading Day: with day traders, all the positions have to be closed by the end of the trading day. An efficient day trader, like Scott, concludes his trades effectively and professionally.
  • Preparing for tomorrow: Day trading is a continuous learning process. Therefore, it is critical for day traders to analyze their own trades for the day and learn from their mistakes and losses. So, Scott ends the trading day by going through his trades for the day, observing his strengths and drawbacks, and learning from them to prepare for the next day.

What Keeps Scott Going?

Scott has always had a liking for the stock markets. There was always something about the markets that spoke volumes to him. He loves the adrenaline rush, the ability to be one’s own boss and deciding your own working hours, and the comfort of being able to work from anywhere in the world.

As a successful day trader and an experienced mentor at Tradenet, Scott always suggests the newbies never to give up. He advises them to keep learning by reading excellent trading books like ‘The Market Whisperer’ by Meir Barak and by following a passionate mentor like Meir Barak himself. He also recommends the new traders never to trade against the market’s direction. To earn a living day trading is tough, but if and when it works, it is the best profession in the world!
