i have a question basically when i was in college i was bottom of my class in law and had an E grade for the whole 2 years
But a few months before my exam i literally just memorised everything i would need for the exam and got an A. Didnt learn the basics or fundamentals of the topic, just straight memorised everything as quick as possible.
My theory is , could this work for day trading? If you ask anyone how long it takes to become profitable, theyll say like 2+ years. But what if you just pick one strategy and completely memorise the fuck out of it and just skip all the bs?
Because most people learning how to day trade are going in with the mindset that it will take them years! Because thats what they've been told. So they'll study for 1 hour a day, and spend two weeks learning about candlesticks. How long could it realistically take to become profitable if you took as many shortcuts as possible and just memorised what you need for the market? Ive heard of people becoming profitable in weeks or a few months. Maybe they were autistic so had crazy pattern recognition tho
