I’m a long term investor so these are just some of the lessons I’ve learnt from my limited experience with day trading. I will also give a brief overview of the VWAP indicator which is often used by day traders.
Lessons Learnt
1) Trade when the mind is clear and alert
Do not trade when you’re feeling sleepy, tired, unwell or troubled. This is especially true when trading in a foreign market with time zone differences. Day trading requires snap decisions and you can’t make those decisions if you are feeling poorly.
2) Play small
Limit the amount invested to a small percentage of your capital so it wouldn’t hurt if it is lost entirely. This is important as there is no such thing as a hundred percent success rate.
3) Plan your entry and exit
Set target profit and stop loss when entering a trade. This helps you to know when to exit. Do not hesitate or second guess yourself. Capital preservation is important.
4) A good knowledge of technical indicators is required
This enables one to spot and interpret the signals. Using a number of technical indicators helps to confirm the signal and improve the probability of wins.
VWAP Indicator
VWAP stands for volume-weighted average price. It is basically the average trading price of a stock after taking into account the volume. The formula is VWAP = number of shares x typical price divided by the total number of shares. Since VWAP is calculated from previous prices, there will be a lag which becomes bigger throughout the day. VWAP is reset each day.
How to view VWAP in Moomoo:
In Detailed Quotes, click on Chart Settings > Indicators > VWAP.
Make sure VWAP is checked. You can modify the colour if you wish.
Once this is done, return to the chart. You can click VWAP at the bottom of the chart (portrait mode) or on the right hand side of the chart (landscape mode). In the pictures below, VWAP is the yellow line.
How To Use VWAP Indicator
A rising VWAP shows that buyers have more control, a declining VWAP shows that sellers have more control and a flat VWAP means the stock is trading within a range. When the price is above VWAP, it is in the overbought zone and when the price is below VWAP, it is in the oversold zone.
VWAP can be used to establish support and resistance price levels. In general, traders try to trade close to VWAP in anticipation of a bounce off (long) or a decline (short). Institutional investors use VWAP as a benchmark when planning their entries and exits to minimise their effect on the market price. So do companies when they do share buybacks e.g. $Apple (AAPL.US)$ .
It is a good idea to use VWAP in conjunction with other technical indicators such as MACD, RSI and Stochastic to confirm the signal before executing a trade. Use a paper account to practise and test out your strategies before risking any real money.

$Sea (SE.US)$ seriously thinking to sell off all my shares. its dropping like nobody business.

I would do your own research and make sure you develop an investment strategy that suits your needs. For me I have bought into a lot of dividend growth and tech.
My tech holdings are: $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ $EPAM Systems (EPAM.US)$ $Endava (DAVA.US)$ $MercadoLibre (MELI.US)$ $Sea (SE.US)$ $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$
But the catch is I didn’t buy these all recently, like Msft I bought at $190. Dava and epam were more recent, same with meli and se on the recent tech crash. I have decent cashflow tho to deploy money. I can deploy about 4K a month into the market after expenses, not including my dividends from stocks.
My dividend stocks are: $Lockheed Martin (LMT.US)$ $Northrop Grumman (NOC.US)$ $Agree Realty Corp (ADC.US)$ $VICI Properties (VICI.US)$ $Stag Industrial Inc (STAG.US)$ $BRP (DOOO.US)$
Some were bought last year some I averaged into this year. Make sure you do your own due diligence tho bcuz a crash could very well be on the horizon and nothing will be safe if the overall markets plummet. I don’t try to time the market, so I keep some cash on hand and consistently buy. That’s just me tho, some ppl can’t handle looking at heavy losses and have weak hands (used to be me years ago when I first started at 18-19, now 28)

$Sea (SE.US)$ suck thumb, go to bed unless u want to average down

$Sea (SE.US)$ 又飘红了…

$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ nice dip on mid week

$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ people sell to get money for thanksgiving gifts? 🤣

$Tesla (TSLA.US)$
$Apple (AAPL.US)$ 
Control your emotions,
Market goes up and down everyday, it’s normal.
What matters is 3-5 years later!
I believe the price will explode. 🚀🤑💰

$Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ $Amazon (AMZN.US)$ If you are a first time investor, especially a young investor, it is very easy to fall in the trap of buying the stock that your friend, relative, or a stranger on internet recommended. Just because someone made 1000% gains on something doesn't mean you are going to make that.
Remember, that the faster any asset climbs up the faster it comes down like a house of cards. If it had no resistance going up, there is no support going down and when such stocks crack, they fall through the roof in a matter of hours, not even days.
Pick up a book and learn the basics of Finance. Fundamentals will help you get a handle of how to start valuing a company. While Technical charts play a role in short to medium term movements of the stock, long term is always going to be based on Fundamentals.
Needless to say, if you are investing in Crpto be extremely conservative. 10% of your portfolio is too much. Anything more than that, and you lose your hard earned savings very quickly if things go south.
I understand there is a Euphoria when you make quick money, but derivatives like Futures and Options are sure shot way of getting screwed if you don't know what you are doing. Everyone has an itch to make a lot of money in a short period of time, but trust me, losing your original investment is one the worst feeling you can ever have if you earned that money by working hard.
If you don't know anything at all about investing and want to start putting some money into an investment account, buy a broad market based ETF like SPY or QQQ on a regular basis. Think $100-$200-$500/month. Time in the market is always going to beat timing the market.
Lastly, as Warren Buffett said - Rule 1: Never lose money and Rule 2: Never forget Rule 1.
TL;DR: Don't invest blindly in Stocks that some friend/stranger recommended you. Efforts to make money quickly on Stocks, Crpto, or Derivatives (Futures and Options) without understanding the fundamentals and risks, will make you lose your hard earned money and your shirt. If you don't know anything about investing, buy broad market based ETF like SPY and QQQ on a regular basis.
