Hey guys, I'm Chris, a beginner to self trading and looking to pick up skills. Time available per day: between 1.5 to 3 hours dependant on what time I get home (I am currently 12 hours ahead of ET). Primarily doing swing trades but will do some day trades where swing entries don't look good. I've got rudimentary understanding of options with but get confused by spreads and option trades. Biggest struggle is entries / exits. Entering at a false fade but market gapped down instead and not exiting early enough.

@Ryan Nellis Yes. My current focus is on stocks and looking to learn more and hopefully get better. I've only used options to collect premiums so far.
