캐나다에서 데이 트레이딩 시작하려는데요 🇨🇦

I trade low float momentum over 3 yrs now, adopted Ross' strategies a yr ago.

Theres no PDT rule in Canada as long as u use a CDN broker like questrade. Stick with QT, and u can daytrade with an acct as small as $10 in like a TFSA acct with unlimited trades. QT has 0% fees for US stocks, u dont need to use and pay IBKR fees right now cuz that will also ruin your take profit strategy, and ur too new for that right now

Word of advice, ur new and just starting. **It will take u a long time (months, years)** to learn and develop the intuition for low float momentum, but more importantly - **maintaining consistency with discipline (this is the hardest to master and takes a ton of time)**

Trade 1 share at a time to learn the technicals of trading, but also, start developing the emotional and psychological strength u need for long term success. U dont necessarily need to only take 2 trades a day. Ross suggested that to train ppl to only focus on picking the absolute best setup to trade, being picky about stock selection. I would focus on execution, taking the best setups only. DO NOT focus on pnl rn, it will absolutely derail your focus on execution. And trust me, there wont be 20 A+ setups in a premarket session no matter if its a hot market or not

btw, why dont u wanna use a tfsa acct to trade with especially since ur just starting? trust me, ur not gonna be making hundreds of thousands of dollars right off the bat. It will realistically take 2-3 yrs to maybe start seeing consistent profits. Trade 1 share to start using Ross stock selection criteria, just keep it simple for yourself

Every thing you wrote can be answered by "it depends" Ross Cameron does one specific type of trading but there's many other ways. Your first "job" is research.

What exactly do you want to trade and how. Stocks? bonds? indices? currencies? each has a different personality and requires different approaches.

Next... the HOW. Since Ross is in the US and you are in Canada, you can trade ways he cant... CFD's. In Canada, you can trade Futures, CFD's, spot, options, and once again, they all are different.

As for a broker, IBKR is one fo the big ones in Canada, yes, but they are a bit snobby on who they accept. I did trade with them in the past, had no complaints. but i don't think they are "the best".. but once again, depends on what and how you decide to trade.

Bottom line. Do not try to emulate a YouTube trader. This is a 100% mistake. You have a play around and discover who you are in the trading world.

Open a DEMO account (often called paper trading) on the broker of your choice and experiment. Trade different things and figure out what you find easiest to read. Trade different time frames and see what speed you prefer.

You could start trading with as little as 50$, but i would recommend a minimum of 500$... The magic 25K you hear alot is a thing in the US, not Canada

As for CRA. In Canada, as soon as you trade more then about 5 times in a year, it becomes income and not capital gains. So it is treated as self-employed and tax as such. But don't worry, odds are you'll never make money, so nothing to declare.

25k is for US. 2k usd is all u need for 1 micro
