  1. Hello, I'm Mark from Minnesota. At my last job I was a security engineer for a bank where I made more money than I really needed. I keep my living expenses very low, so that wasn't difficult. All of it went to savings and I figured I should probably do something with it rather than let it sit there. I started swing trading, though I had no idea that it had a name and wasn't very successful at it (truly an understatement), though I definitely saw the potential in it. When I was laid off last month, I started researching and studying and realized that the rules of day trading fit my personality to an absolute 'T'. I had never actually enjoyed swing trading. I hated having positions sit open while I was at work, or after the market closed, or while I slept, but didn't realize it was an option to open and close them only for very particular periods of risk or reward. So, when I stumbled upon day trading, it felt like coming home. My first week day trading was green and I was surprisingly good at it with very little knowledge or experience yet, but I was using Robinhood to trade on my phone and a demo tradezero account to watch stock tickers on a really janky laptop. Despite being green and quickly identifying profitable patterns, my setup was less than ideal, so I quit trading and started educating myself while I researched good day trading office setups, which is when I joined BBT. My collection is nearly complete and I'll begin trading sim next week in a fully loaded home office to test out how well I do. I'm excited to work with everyone here, and for the future ahead.
