Starting to day trade isn't a decision to be taken lightly. It is possible to be successful and earn a good living trading only a few hours per day, but that goal is many months away for people just starting out. If you still want to start day trading, there are five things you need to do in order to put yourself on the right path.
#Create/Learn a Strategy
Day trading isn't something to do on a whim. It requires a sound and rehearsed method that gives you a statistical edge on each trade you make.
You can create a strategy by finding tendencies in the daily price action of an asset. Also, you can learn a strategy from someone else or you can learn from the courses.
#Practice a Lot
Practicing is key in day trading. To be good at a sport, you practice. Even at a minimum-wage job, the boss usually makes you practice what you are supposed to do before you do it for real.
Practice only the strategy you are working on. Perfect it, and know it well. With the added pressure of trading real capital, when you switch to live trading, you don't want to still be thinking about whether you should take a trade or not.
#Know the Capital Requirements
Capital to a day trader is like inventory to a store owner. You need it to operate, and how much you have—and how you manage it—will determine your income.
#Consider Goals and Constraints
Before you invest time in creating or learning and then practicing a day trading strategy, consider your goals and constraints.
#Choose a Broker
While you are practicing and developing strategies, choose a broker. This may be the same broker you open a demo account with, or it may be another.

*Paper trading (sometimes also called "virtual stock trading") is a simulated trading process in which would-be investors can 'practice' investing without committing real money. This is done by the manipulation of imaginary money and investment positions that behave in a manner similar to the real markets
Here are fews characteristics of a great trading course >>
1. Taught by a professional 2. The course offers educational support tools. 3. The course covers the specific topics you’re interested in 4. The claims the course is making are reasonable
Note: When decide to take trading courses, you should consider only those that were created by someone with many years of trading experience.
Recently I have attended a trading seminar by the Snap Academy in Jakarta, the teacher gives some suggestion how to step up as a professional trader to make consistently profit
Mostly, a seasoned trader wouldn't suggest you to join a paid course, but if you need it and wanted to learn from experienced trader that's a good choice
