Full transcript
- 0:02what's up guys my name is Steven ducks
- 0:04today I have a little bit topic that a
- 0:06lot of people want me to share with so
- 0:09how much do they try to really make a
- 0:12year and happiness industry for about
- 0:16roughly three years now and I started
- 0:19becoming consistent profitable in the
- 0:22first six months so I'm probably one of
- 0:25the faster openers and I spent opening
- 0:29of time learning and here I'm gonna give
- 0:32you exactly or a roughly estimate how
- 0:35much do I really earn involved with
- 0:38parole fees and execution fees and
- 0:41overnight fees so I'm locating Ohio and
- 0:45I started when I was 20 roughly 20 years
- 0:49old in the summer has to remember and I
- 0:53started with around 27,000 and at that
- 0:56time I was using TN Ameritrade so with
- 0:59the fees I don't really much know
- 1:01because I have no idea I don't even know
- 1:04what stock is I don't know what what I'm
- 1:06buying it's by a random stock and make
- 1:08money I'm not happy
- 1:09so I ignore almost all the parts but
- 1:12when I start officially start trading
- 1:14the stock I'll have to include execution
- 1:16fees borrow fees on IVs also and now let
- 1:20me discuss some of the broker that I
- 1:22have used so one of them is Centrepointe
- 1:24another one is interactive broker and
- 1:29the other one will be trade 0 I also use
- 1:32copper traders as also for swing trading
- 1:35I have been majorly with trades er
- 1:37recently and I can discuss with you
- 1:40about this month performance that I did
- 1:43and now the first thing is talk about
- 1:45the borrower fees typically you wanna I
- 1:48typically borrow around worth of 1000 to
- 1:533000 per day depends on if there's a
- 1:57stock or now sometimes I don't even
- 1:58borrow at all because there's not a
- 2:00ticker that meets my criteria so I just
- 2:03basically wish the Pearl fees now I'm
- 2:06average probably about I would say 600
- 2:10to
- 2:11thousand dollars per day so that times
- 2:14about 22 trading days will be around
- 2:17twenty thousand dollars so that's about
- 2:20thirty thousand four thousand dollars on
- 2:22the barrel fees and execution fees now
- 2:25let's talk about overnight fees I barely
- 2:27go overnight on the tickers but
- 2:29sometimes I do each time on trade zero
- 2:32they roughly charge about x seven on the
- 2:35first night
- 2:37I typically try to not hold them and
- 2:40shares as possible but sometimes there's
- 2:44a really good odds I have to hold it and
- 2:46I pay about twenty percent of the
- 2:48profits into the next day which is a lot
- 2:51but if there's are really high winning
- 2:54percentage it's free money right now so
- 2:57on EPL which happened last week me
- 3:00around sixty thousand roughly estimate
- 3:04on the net profit on day trading there's
- 3:06a lot of cost into it so make sure
- 3:09include all those stuffs that include
- 3:12all those factors and sober all fees
- 3:14execution fees overnight fees so all
- 3:17those plus together will be equal about
- 3:19one hundred to one hundred thousand
- 3:22dollar ish on the overall charging so
- 3:25come out in the day about two hundred
- 3:27fifty thousand dollars a month if you
- 3:30are with trade zero you have to
- 3:31definitely include all those factors in
- 3:34charity broker interactive does really
- 3:38cheap commissions but they don't really
- 3:41have a good barrel I'll interact your
- 3:43broker it's probably really hard find
- 3:45shirts to show around those hard to
- 3:47power stocks now etrade are really good
- 3:49for hard to borrow if they're the flow
- 3:52is around ten to Tony billion ish ten
- 3:56million or above sure traders they're
- 3:58good cobra traders cope are trading
- 4:02they're good a lot of times I risk my
- 4:04barrel fees because I didn't make my
- 4:07criteria and end up wasting a lot of
- 4:09money on those shares as a beginner
- 4:12early 2016 and I started with really
- 4:15small amount of money in the barrel fees
- 4:16will be around $1,000 to $3,000
- 4:20and on the benefit sighs I can earn
- 4:25about 20,000 to 30,000 dollars per month
- 4:28so the barrel fees and overnight fees
- 4:31will equal about 30% of your profit
- 4:34sometimes 20 to 25% with trade zero will
- 4:37probably equal about 30 percent or
- 4:39process of your profit so make sure to
- 4:41choose the right broker before you go in
- 4:45with your strategy because all those big
- 4:48commissions and borrow fees will play a
- 4:51big factor of your net profit it seems
- 4:53really small at the beginning but end of
- 4:56the day I realize all those things play
- 4:58a big factor and the day you realize you
- 5:00are paying a lot of money to those
- 5:02brokers so for my personal opinion I
- 5:05would say trigger could if you're a
- 5:08really skilled trader you can make about
- 5:10one to two million dollars you put in
- 5:13stock I think the maximum cap you can
- 5:15make it round five million dollars to
- 5:17ten million dollars on Penny Stocks per
- 5:19year I'm not at that level yet I'm
- 5:23trying to be at that level and also in
- 5:27trading you can experience your masters
- 5:29as well so if you're winning that's fine
- 5:32you're paying thirty percent twenty
- 5:33percent overall commissions to the
- 5:35broker
- 5:36like you're losing then you're have to
- 5:39count that as well because commissions
- 5:41and fees are overnight fees will add
- 5:43extra on your lose amount before you
- 5:46jump in in day trading full-time you
- 5:49have to fully consider all those factors
- 5:51with your strategies with your brokers
- 5:54with your Commission's with your net
- 5:56profit what's your average gain and you
- 5:58also have the statistics that how many
- 6:01times does the strategy happens per year
- 6:03so you can generally calculate what's
- 6:06the average gain of the entire year if
- 6:09the strategy follow those statistics so
- 6:12that's a really important thing that
- 6:13before jump into your full time on day
- 6:16trading now as a beginner I will suggest
- 6:18doing this as part time trying to figure
- 6:20out what strategy when I focus on two
- 6:22new figures out what broker fits you the
- 6:24best
- 6:25if you're going long just choosing
- 6:26target broker I forego in short to
- 6:29center point or trader or
- 6:31Cobar trading whatever fits the best for
- 6:34you there's a lot of stuff going into it
- 6:37so because people in this sector people
- 6:39are looking to get rich quick they're
- 6:41looking to really have to eagerly jump
- 6:44into it but it's not like that
- 6:47everything has to take into a
- 6:48consideration because that's how I made
- 6:51the mistakes earlier because I didn't
- 6:53count all those commissions how much
- 6:57percentage that took off of my net
- 7:00profit and that year plus commissions
- 7:03plus to the broker and tax I basically
- 7:06get around left like 30% to 40% of my
- 7:10profit but he's still a lot and in day
- 7:14trading that opportunity comes to you
- 7:18you don't come to the opportunity so you
- 7:20don't have a really passive income so
- 7:23aggressive income because you are
- 7:24catching the opportunities so as a
- 7:26beginner I suggest to have an hour job
- 7:30and take about a year to try to figure
- 7:34out why you were trying to do to figure
- 7:36out the strategies I think back in the
- 7:382016 I was young I have nothing to lose
- 7:40and I just basically went oh and I don't
- 7:44think that was a really good idea
- 7:46because a lot of people actually failed
- 7:49into this industry so if you're looking
- 7:51to get into the sector start slowly
- 7:54figure out strategies brokers and all
- 7:58the cost that goes into this full time
- 8:03studying and how do you execute in your
- 8:06strategies at last I hope this video is
- 8:10helpful all my strategies are based on
- 8:12shorting and go 80% short 20% long and
- 8:17those are my personal statistics for
- 8:20myself that fits my own strategies if
- 8:23you're looking to learn more about my
- 8:25strategy click the link below but it
- 8:26will take you and explain you the detail
- 8:28my strategies and I hope this video
