  18. 0:30let's just jump right into it
  19. 0:31the first thing that any new trader
  20. 0:33needs to do is
  21. 0:34learn the fundamentals so that's rule
  22. 0:37number one
  23. 0:38learn the fundamentals getting the
  24. 0:39basics of trading down is
  25. 0:41extremely important you need to learn
  26. 0:43how to read charts you need to know
  27. 0:45which indicators are
  28. 0:46useful and which ones are useless we all
  29. 0:49start somewhere
  30. 0:50and that's the starting point you need
  31. 0:52to learn how to do technical analysis
  32. 0:54you need to learn market structure
  33. 0:56you need to just basically watch all of
  34. 0:57my videos i've got a new playlist where
  35. 0:59i've ordered everything in order
  36. 1:01from a to z which ones you should watch
  37. 1:03in which order
  38. 1:04so that is the beginners playlist it's
  39. 1:07right here once you've done that step
  40. 1:09number two is going to be to open up a
  41. 1:11demo account
  42. 1:12i don't want you to actually start
  43. 1:14trading real money because when it comes
  44. 1:16to trading real money
  45. 1:18it's a mental game when you start seeing
  46. 1:20those red numbers
  47. 1:22and your trade is going negative
  48. 1:24something happens inside of you that i
  49. 1:26can't explain you have to feel it for
  50. 1:28yourself but you will close a trade nine
  51. 1:30times out of ten
  52. 1:31when it's negative because you don't
  53. 1:32want to lose any more money
  54. 1:34it's weird but what you need to do is
  55. 1:36develop your strategy
  56. 1:37and actually test it on demo over time
  57. 1:40to gain the confidence to know that that
  58. 1:42strategy works
  59. 1:44and to understand like okay now i'm in
  60. 1:46draw down
  61. 1:47it's going to go in the direction that i
  62. 1:49expected if it doesn't hit my stop loss
  63. 1:51and you need to let your trades play out
  64. 1:53so again
  65. 1:54step number two demo account step number
  66. 1:56three is a weird one it's
  67. 1:58give it time um nobody's gonna get good
  68. 2:01at trading in one week
  69. 2:02it's impossible unless you're the dude
  70. 2:04from limitless with the little clear
  71. 2:07you know so just give it time practice
  72. 2:10practice practice back
  73. 2:11test watch videos on youtube learn more
  74. 2:14and more and more and more and
  75. 2:15eventually you'll get to the point where
  76. 2:17you just feel comfortable with your day
  77. 2:19trading okay now for the juicy part
  78. 2:21a lot of people think that you know when
  79. 2:23you start trading the markets you know
  80. 2:25you get into forex
  81. 2:26and you start trading euro usd because
  82. 2:28it's the most common pair
  83. 2:30and then you grow into gbp jpy
  84. 2:33and then you get into indices like us 30
  85. 2:37and then once you've mastered that you
  86. 2:38get into crypto because crypto's all the
  87. 2:40rage
  88. 2:41and that's not how progression works
  89. 2:44basically what you're doing
  90. 2:45is you're starting off at step one
  91. 2:48learning it you're like cool i want to
  92. 2:49get onto step two
  93. 2:51and you think step two is gbp jpy but
  94. 2:54it's not
  95. 2:55gbp jpy is a completely different beast
  96. 2:58than euro usd
  97. 2:59so what you're doing is redoing level
  98. 3:01one and then you move to indices and
  99. 3:04it's a completely different beast
  100. 3:05so you're redoing level one again what
  101. 3:08you need to do to progress as a trader
  102. 3:11is find the two or three things that you
  103. 3:15can trade consistently on demo
  104. 3:17and master them delete everything else
  105. 3:20off of your screen
  106. 3:21you shouldn't have 97 different
  107. 3:24symbols in your watch list i do this to
  108. 3:27show specific examples for my videos
  109. 3:29my actual trading list looks like this
  110. 3:32you have to pick
  111. 3:33three instruments that you want to
  112. 3:35master and stare at them
  113. 3:37and study them every single day once you
  114. 3:40master those things
  115. 3:41that is progression treating us 30 like
  116. 3:44your best friend and you know exactly
  117. 3:46what they're gonna do before they even
  118. 3:47do
  119. 3:48that's progression in day trading
  120. 3:51mastering
  121. 3:52a thing is better than trying new things
  122. 3:54and getting better at them because then
  123. 3:56you're gonna be slightly decent
  124. 3:58at everything versus lethal on one
  125. 4:01so that's rule number four and rule
  126. 4:03number five when it comes to progressing
  127. 4:05as a traitor
  128. 4:06is to stick with the plan so many people
  129. 4:10and i mean i'm guilty of this too so
  130. 4:13many people
  131. 4:14start with their strategy it's starting
  132. 4:16to work out they're making some money
  133. 4:18and then it fails and then it fails and
  134. 4:20then it fails and they completely
  135. 4:22throw it away and start looking for the
  136. 4:24next best thing that is the biggest
  137. 4:26mistake in day trading because you have
  138. 4:28to understand you're going to have
  139. 4:29losses
  140. 4:30your strategy works a certain percentage
  141. 4:32of the time
  142. 4:33and if those losses come in sequence
  143. 4:36you get frustrated with your strategy
  144. 4:38and you think it doesn't work anymore so
  145. 4:40you go looking for the next best thing
  146. 4:42instead of continuing on your strategy
  147. 4:44and waiting for those wins to start
  148. 4:45showing up again
  149. 4:46so pick a strategy stick with it
  150. 4:49it'll work out you have to look at the
  151. 4:51percentages over time you're not going
  152. 4:53to become a millionaire overnight doing
  153. 4:55this
  154. 4:55you have to be consistent and seriously
  155. 4:57seriously diligent
