- 0:30let's just jump right into it
- 0:31the first thing that any new trader
- 0:33needs to do is
- 0:34learn the fundamentals so that's rule
- 0:37number one
- 0:38learn the fundamentals getting the
- 0:39basics of trading down is
- 0:41extremely important you need to learn
- 0:43how to read charts you need to know
- 0:45which indicators are
- 0:46useful and which ones are useless we all
- 0:49start somewhere
- 0:50and that's the starting point you need
- 0:52to learn how to do technical analysis
- 0:54you need to learn market structure
- 0:56you need to just basically watch all of
- 0:57my videos i've got a new playlist where
- 0:59i've ordered everything in order
- 1:01from a to z which ones you should watch
- 1:03in which order
- 1:04so that is the beginners playlist it's
- 1:07right here once you've done that step
- 1:09number two is going to be to open up a
- 1:11demo account
- 1:12i don't want you to actually start
- 1:14trading real money because when it comes
- 1:16to trading real money
- 1:18it's a mental game when you start seeing
- 1:20those red numbers
- 1:22and your trade is going negative
- 1:24something happens inside of you that i
- 1:26can't explain you have to feel it for
- 1:28yourself but you will close a trade nine
- 1:30times out of ten
- 1:31when it's negative because you don't
- 1:32want to lose any more money
- 1:34it's weird but what you need to do is
- 1:36develop your strategy
- 1:37and actually test it on demo over time
- 1:40to gain the confidence to know that that
- 1:42strategy works
- 1:44and to understand like okay now i'm in
- 1:46draw down
- 1:47it's going to go in the direction that i
- 1:49expected if it doesn't hit my stop loss
- 1:51and you need to let your trades play out
- 1:53so again
- 1:54step number two demo account step number
- 1:56three is a weird one it's
- 1:58give it time um nobody's gonna get good
- 2:01at trading in one week
- 2:02it's impossible unless you're the dude
- 2:04from limitless with the little clear
- 2:07you know so just give it time practice
- 2:10practice practice back
- 2:11test watch videos on youtube learn more
- 2:14and more and more and more and
- 2:15eventually you'll get to the point where
- 2:17you just feel comfortable with your day
- 2:19trading okay now for the juicy part
- 2:21a lot of people think that you know when
- 2:23you start trading the markets you know
- 2:25you get into forex
- 2:26and you start trading euro usd because
- 2:28it's the most common pair
- 2:30and then you grow into gbp jpy
- 2:33and then you get into indices like us 30
- 2:37and then once you've mastered that you
- 2:38get into crypto because crypto's all the
- 2:40rage
- 2:41and that's not how progression works
- 2:44basically what you're doing
- 2:45is you're starting off at step one
- 2:48learning it you're like cool i want to
- 2:49get onto step two
- 2:51and you think step two is gbp jpy but
- 2:54it's not
- 2:55gbp jpy is a completely different beast
- 2:58than euro usd
- 2:59so what you're doing is redoing level
- 3:01one and then you move to indices and
- 3:04it's a completely different beast
- 3:05so you're redoing level one again what
- 3:08you need to do to progress as a trader
- 3:11is find the two or three things that you
- 3:15can trade consistently on demo
- 3:17and master them delete everything else
- 3:20off of your screen
- 3:21you shouldn't have 97 different
- 3:24symbols in your watch list i do this to
- 3:27show specific examples for my videos
- 3:29my actual trading list looks like this
- 3:32you have to pick
- 3:33three instruments that you want to
- 3:35master and stare at them
- 3:37and study them every single day once you
- 3:40master those things
- 3:41that is progression treating us 30 like
- 3:44your best friend and you know exactly
- 3:46what they're gonna do before they even
- 3:47do
- 3:48that's progression in day trading
- 3:51mastering
- 3:52a thing is better than trying new things
- 3:54and getting better at them because then
- 3:56you're gonna be slightly decent
- 3:58at everything versus lethal on one
- 4:01so that's rule number four and rule
- 4:03number five when it comes to progressing
- 4:05as a traitor
- 4:06is to stick with the plan so many people
- 4:10and i mean i'm guilty of this too so
- 4:13many people
- 4:14start with their strategy it's starting
- 4:16to work out they're making some money
- 4:18and then it fails and then it fails and
- 4:20then it fails and they completely
- 4:22throw it away and start looking for the
- 4:24next best thing that is the biggest
- 4:26mistake in day trading because you have
- 4:28to understand you're going to have
- 4:29losses
- 4:30your strategy works a certain percentage
- 4:32of the time
- 4:33and if those losses come in sequence
- 4:36you get frustrated with your strategy
- 4:38and you think it doesn't work anymore so
- 4:40you go looking for the next best thing
- 4:42instead of continuing on your strategy
- 4:44and waiting for those wins to start
- 4:45showing up again
- 4:46so pick a strategy stick with it
- 4:49it'll work out you have to look at the
- 4:51percentages over time you're not going
- 4:53to become a millionaire overnight doing
- 4:55this
- 4:55you have to be consistent and seriously
- 4:57seriously diligent
