  1. 0:02what's up guys my name is Steven ducks
  2. 0:04today I have a little bit topic that a
  3. 0:06lot of people want me to share with so
  4. 0:09how much do they try to really make a
  5. 0:12year and happiness industry for about
  6. 0:16roughly three years now and I started
  7. 0:19becoming consistent profitable in the
  8. 0:22first six months so I'm probably one of
  9. 0:25the faster openers and I spent opening
  10. 0:29of time learning and here I'm gonna give
  11. 0:32you exactly or a roughly estimate how
  12. 0:35much do I really earn involved with
  13. 0:38parole fees and execution fees and
  14. 0:41overnight fees so I'm locating Ohio and
  15. 0:45I started when I was 20 roughly 20 years
  16. 0:49old in the summer has to remember and I
  17. 0:53started with around 27,000 and at that
  18. 0:56time I was using TN Ameritrade so with
  19. 0:59the fees I don't really much know
  20. 1:01because I have no idea I don't even know
  21. 1:04what stock is I don't know what what I'm
  22. 1:06buying it's by a random stock and make
  23. 1:08money I'm not happy
  24. 1:09so I ignore almost all the parts but
  25. 1:12when I start officially start trading
  26. 1:14the stock I'll have to include execution
  27. 1:16fees borrow fees on IVs also and now let
  28. 1:20me discuss some of the broker that I
  29. 1:22have used so one of them is Centrepointe
  30. 1:24another one is interactive broker and
  31. 1:29the other one will be trade 0 I also use
  32. 1:32copper traders as also for swing trading
  33. 1:35I have been majorly with trades er
  34. 1:37recently and I can discuss with you
  35. 1:40about this month performance that I did
  36. 1:43and now the first thing is talk about
  37. 1:45the borrower fees typically you wanna I
  38. 1:48typically borrow around worth of 1000 to
  39. 1:533000 per day depends on if there's a
  40. 1:57stock or now sometimes I don't even
  41. 1:58borrow at all because there's not a
  42. 2:00ticker that meets my criteria so I just
  43. 2:03basically wish the Pearl fees now I'm
  44. 2:06average probably about I would say 600
  45. 2:10to
  46. 2:11thousand dollars per day so that times
  47. 2:14about 22 trading days will be around
  48. 2:17twenty thousand dollars so that's about
  49. 2:20thirty thousand four thousand dollars on
  50. 2:22the barrel fees and execution fees now
  51. 2:25let's talk about overnight fees I barely
  52. 2:27go overnight on the tickers but
  53. 2:29sometimes I do each time on trade zero
  54. 2:32they roughly charge about x seven on the
  55. 2:35first night
  56. 2:37I typically try to not hold them and
  57. 2:40shares as possible but sometimes there's
  58. 2:44a really good odds I have to hold it and
  59. 2:46I pay about twenty percent of the
  60. 2:48profits into the next day which is a lot
  61. 2:51but if there's are really high winning
  62. 2:54percentage it's free money right now so
  63. 2:57on EPL which happened last week me
  64. 3:00around sixty thousand roughly estimate
  65. 3:04on the net profit on day trading there's
  66. 3:06a lot of cost into it so make sure
  67. 3:09include all those stuffs that include
  68. 3:12all those factors and sober all fees
  69. 3:14execution fees overnight fees so all
  70. 3:17those plus together will be equal about
  71. 3:19one hundred to one hundred thousand
  72. 3:22dollar ish on the overall charging so
  73. 3:25come out in the day about two hundred
  74. 3:27fifty thousand dollars a month if you
  75. 3:30are with trade zero you have to
  76. 3:31definitely include all those factors in
  77. 3:34charity broker interactive does really
  78. 3:38cheap commissions but they don't really
  79. 3:41have a good barrel I'll interact your
  80. 3:43broker it's probably really hard find
  81. 3:45shirts to show around those hard to
  82. 3:47power stocks now etrade are really good
  83. 3:49for hard to borrow if they're the flow
  84. 3:52is around ten to Tony billion ish ten
  85. 3:56million or above sure traders they're
  86. 3:58good cobra traders cope are trading
  87. 4:02they're good a lot of times I risk my
  88. 4:04barrel fees because I didn't make my
  89. 4:07criteria and end up wasting a lot of
  90. 4:09money on those shares as a beginner
  91. 4:12early 2016 and I started with really
  92. 4:15small amount of money in the barrel fees
  93. 4:16will be around $1,000 to $3,000
  94. 4:20and on the benefit sighs I can earn
  95. 4:25about 20,000 to 30,000 dollars per month
  96. 4:28so the barrel fees and overnight fees
  97. 4:31will equal about 30% of your profit
  98. 4:34sometimes 20 to 25% with trade zero will
  99. 4:37probably equal about 30 percent or
  100. 4:39process of your profit so make sure to
  101. 4:41choose the right broker before you go in
  102. 4:45with your strategy because all those big
  103. 4:48commissions and borrow fees will play a
  104. 4:51big factor of your net profit it seems
  105. 4:53really small at the beginning but end of
  106. 4:56the day I realize all those things play
  107. 4:58a big factor and the day you realize you
  108. 5:00are paying a lot of money to those
  109. 5:02brokers so for my personal opinion I
  110. 5:05would say trigger could if you're a
  111. 5:08really skilled trader you can make about
  112. 5:10one to two million dollars you put in
  113. 5:13stock I think the maximum cap you can
  114. 5:15make it round five million dollars to
  115. 5:17ten million dollars on Penny Stocks per
  116. 5:19year I'm not at that level yet I'm
  117. 5:23trying to be at that level and also in
  118. 5:27trading you can experience your masters
  119. 5:29as well so if you're winning that's fine
  120. 5:32you're paying thirty percent twenty
  121. 5:33percent overall commissions to the
  122. 5:35broker
  123. 5:36like you're losing then you're have to
  124. 5:39count that as well because commissions
  125. 5:41and fees are overnight fees will add
  126. 5:43extra on your lose amount before you
  127. 5:46jump in in day trading full-time you
  128. 5:49have to fully consider all those factors
  129. 5:51with your strategies with your brokers
  130. 5:54with your Commission's with your net
  131. 5:56profit what's your average gain and you
  132. 5:58also have the statistics that how many
  133. 6:01times does the strategy happens per year
  134. 6:03so you can generally calculate what's
  135. 6:06the average gain of the entire year if
  136. 6:09the strategy follow those statistics so
  137. 6:12that's a really important thing that
  138. 6:13before jump into your full time on day
  139. 6:16trading now as a beginner I will suggest
  140. 6:18doing this as part time trying to figure
  141. 6:20out what strategy when I focus on two
  142. 6:22new figures out what broker fits you the
  143. 6:24best
  144. 6:25if you're going long just choosing
  145. 6:26target broker I forego in short to
  146. 6:29center point or trader or
  147. 6:31Cobar trading whatever fits the best for
  148. 6:34you there's a lot of stuff going into it
  149. 6:37so because people in this sector people
  150. 6:39are looking to get rich quick they're
  151. 6:41looking to really have to eagerly jump
  152. 6:44into it but it's not like that
  153. 6:47everything has to take into a
  154. 6:48consideration because that's how I made
  155. 6:51the mistakes earlier because I didn't
  156. 6:53count all those commissions how much
  157. 6:57percentage that took off of my net
  158. 7:00profit and that year plus commissions
  159. 7:03plus to the broker and tax I basically
  160. 7:06get around left like 30% to 40% of my
  161. 7:10profit but he's still a lot and in day
  162. 7:14trading that opportunity comes to you
  163. 7:18you don't come to the opportunity so you
  164. 7:20don't have a really passive income so
  165. 7:23aggressive income because you are
  166. 7:24catching the opportunities so as a
  167. 7:26beginner I suggest to have an hour job
  168. 7:30and take about a year to try to figure
  169. 7:34out why you were trying to do to figure
  170. 7:36out the strategies I think back in the
  171. 7:382016 I was young I have nothing to lose
  172. 7:40and I just basically went oh and I don't
  173. 7:44think that was a really good idea
  174. 7:46because a lot of people actually failed
  175. 7:49into this industry so if you're looking
  176. 7:51to get into the sector start slowly
  177. 7:54figure out strategies brokers and all
  178. 7:58the cost that goes into this full time
  179. 8:03studying and how do you execute in your
  180. 8:06strategies at last I hope this video is
  181. 8:10helpful all my strategies are based on
  182. 8:12shorting and go 80% short 20% long and
  183. 8:17those are my personal statistics for
  184. 8:20myself that fits my own strategies if
  185. 8:23you're looking to learn more about my
  186. 8:25strategy click the link below but it
