Day trading is a great career choice whether you’ve just graduated from college or you’re an entrepreneur looking for a career outside the mainstream. However, like any other business venture, day trading is not a stroll in the park.

Due to the volatility of the stock market, prices can move in a matter of minutes, and you could gain or lose big time. So one needs extensive training, careful planning, great skills and the eye to see and act on opportunities when they arise before taking the plunge.

So if you’re looking to enroll in a stock trading course, here is a comprehensive rundown of 5 Successful day traders that teach their strategies:

1. Nathan Michaud

Nathan MichaudNathan Michaud is an accustomed and popular day trader in the online trading landscape. He began day trading as early as 2003 in his freshman year, but only on a part-time basis. However, after graduating with a degree in Finance from the University of New Hampshire, he started full-time trading.

After realizing that he was overtrading and not making any profits, Nathan Michaud created InvestorsLive.com, a blog that is dedicated to explaining the trades he took, the reasons why he took them and to point out the stocks to watch the next trading day.

Nathan Michaud then founded Investors Underground in 2008. Investors Underground is the biggest live, real-time trading chat room online that harbors investors, active traders, and more so, the beginner traders.

Investors underground then partnered with Profit.ly (where Nathan Michaud was a trading guru). The two platforms broke away in 2015 because Nathan Michaud wanted to build up and fine-tune the biggest online day trading platform where traders of all skill levels can benefit from.

There are many advantages of chatrooms. Unlike most day traders who subscribe to live data, streams, newsfeeds or various scanners as trading tools, once you subscribe to it for a month or two, you’ll realize that you could replace half of those tools with a chat room alone.

A chat room is not only filled with new traders trying to get to grips with day trading, but also harbors many well-trained day traders in a single community because of the speed, and accuracy that you wouldn’t find on any other trading platform.

Some of the most popular day traders you will find here besides Nathan Michaud include Tim Grittani and Eric Wood.

Services offered by Investors Underground

Investors underground trading chat rooms

The main reason why Investors Underground has grown rapidly is that it has 11 chartroom moderators who know the ins and outs of day trading and are ready and willing to help new traders.

The moderators also transmit trading alerts to other members to enable them to take positions. The major services to expect when you sign up for Investors Underground membership include:

a) Multiple trading chat rooms

Here, you get a range of trading chat rooms, such as:

Stock Trading chat room: This is the cream of the crop of all chat rooms on Investors Underground because it’s considered the best scanning tool out there. Their day trading chat room, particularly, harbors thousands of members who offer real-time advice and invaluable instructions each day.

Momentum chat room: This chatroom runs from 9am to 4pm every day. It’s frequented by other trading members; which is why it’s the most active chat room on the platform. Here, members discuss trades, as well as other things related to it.

Swing Trading chat room: Swing Trading chatroom has a lot in common with Momentum chat room; it’s just that it drifts towards swing trades, which, unlike day trades, go beyond a day or a week.

OTC chat room: It’s the least popular chat room on the platform because subscribers don’t really like it.

The awesome part about these chat rooms is that they are meticulously managed and maintained. A couple of moderators are assigned to each one to help and assist members.

b) Educational resources

Besides having access to the chat rooms highlighted above, you’ll find a lot of useful educational resources that can help you trade like a Pro, such as:

Stock trading webinars: The platform holds one webinar each week exclusively for members. The webinars cover a huge array of trading topics, including short selling stocks. Members are allowed to ask questions related to trading, and the experts answer them.

Daily stock watch lists: They bring you daily watchlists to help you decide what to trade the next day. Every list is distributed in such a way that it’s easier to compare and contrast multiple stocks. The good thing is that the watchlists are sent out early enough (in the afternoon) to allow you to properly prepare before the start of the following trading day.

Trade recap videos: Investors Underground disseminates a few trade recap videos each week that discuss the trades made during the week. Essentially, these videos highlight the initial game plans, what the traders got right and what they got wrong.

Video lesson library: Stock trading is a continuous learning process. Regardless of the number of years in the stock trading landscape, there is still a lot to learn. Investors Underground releases 2 to 3 videos every week that contain invaluable trading lessons and actual trade examples.

Top-notch and all-inclusive day trading courses: The platform offers a huge array of trading courses, including chart patterns, brokers, money management and other resources that focus on stock trading. The courses also encompass blog posts, AV media, and e-courses.
