Are you trying to sell a course or subscription?

No. Diligentraders.com is a free resource for anyone who wants to learn or improve their day trading skills. I fund the site, including all necessary subscriptions, 100% out of my own pocket, with the help of affiliate products or services that users might buy through those I partner with. This support helps grow the site and provide even more valuable content.

Do you use affiliate links or advertisements on your site?

Yes, I do. The site is 100% free, but I do use affiliate links and promotional posts and pages for tools and services that I get paid for. These partnerships help me to fund and grow the site, and to provide value to the community. You don't need to buy anything to enjoy this site.

Are you an "Expert" or "Guru" in the field of professional day trading?

I'm not a guru, and I doubt that many of the people currently selling Discord and Twitter subscriptions are either. It's easy to cherry-pick winning trades to make a strategy look good, but it's much harder to stay profitable over hundreds and thousands of trades. I also think these systems and strategies are vague enough that it's hard to tell whether you're not making money because you're doing it wrong or because the strategy itself is flawed.

What is your experience in day trading?

I have been day trading for over eight years. Like most new day traders, I started with stocks. However, I soon fell in love with trading futures, specifically index futures. Over the years, I have day traded stocks, futures, and forex.
