Trading Course Day 1: Trends — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00All right. In today's video, um I'm
- 0:03going to start a whole simple price
- 0:06action course on YouTube for free for
- 0:09you to understand what trading is. Um
- 0:13first of all, trading to basically help
- 0:16you make it as simple as possible.
- 0:19Trading is where you buy at a certain
- 0:23price or sell. You can buy or sell at a
- 0:26certain price. And if price goes up, so
- 0:29let's say if you get into a buy. So
- 0:31let's say you get into this buy. We're
- 0:34going to mark this
- 0:36as
- 0:39buy. Make this bigger for you for all my
- 0:42newbies. And it's okay to be a newbie.
- 0:44We was all there once once in our loves.
- 0:47But um let's say you're in a buy and
- 0:50this is price. So this is price you're
- 0:52going to see fluctuating. These are
- 0:53called candlesticks, by the way. So,
- 0:56these are candlesticks. You're going to
- 0:57see these a lot. Trust me, every single
- 0:59day, you're going to see these. And
- 1:01these candlesticks will go up and down
- 1:03constantly. Now, depending on the time
- 1:05frame that you're on, and we're going to
- 1:07talk about time frames later on, but
- 1:09depending on the time frame that you are
- 1:10on, this will fluctuate either fast or
- 1:13slow. Now, this is very important. Write
- 1:16this down. Depending on what time frame
- 1:18you're on, this will move either fast or
- 1:21slow. So once again, depending on what
- 1:25time frame you are on, these will move
- 1:28fast or
- 1:30slow. Now, with this being said, if you
- 1:33are in a buy, so if you place a buy,
- 1:36there's going to be most likely a blue
- 1:38button. If you place a buy, this price
- 1:42has to go above this level, above the
- 1:45price that you said it was going to buy
- 1:47above. It has to go above this level in
- 1:49order for you to make money, right?
- 1:53So that's just the plain and simple way.
- 1:55And then vice versa. So if you think
- 1:56it's going to sell, right? If you think
- 2:00it's going to sell, this
- 2:03price has to go under that level that
- 2:07you said price is going to sell under.
- 2:09So if you said it's going to sell under
- 2:10this this level, it has to go under this
- 2:13level and then you make money, right? So
- 2:15that's just what trading is. I'm not
- 2:18going to get into like you can go chat
- 2:20GBT and Google the rest. But that's the
- 2:23basic dummy version of what trading is.
- 2:26If you pick a point and you say price is
- 2:28going to go above it, then you make
- 2:30money if it goes above it. If you say
- 2:32it's going to go under it, then you make
- 2:34money if it goes under it. Now, this is
- 2:37not
- 2:38gambling. Your moms, your dads, your
- 2:40aunties are going to look at trading as
- 2:42gambling. People are going to tell you
- 2:44that trading is gambling. But I am going
- 2:46to show you that trading is not
- 2:49gambling. And you can have a
- 2:52strategic
- 2:54logical reason and analysis of why you
- 2:58think price is either going to go up or
- 3:00down. And throughout this course, I'm
- 3:04going to show you time and time and time
- 3:07again that it happens over and over and
- 3:10over. And no, I'm not always right. So,
- 3:14no, I'm not always right, but I've been
- 3:17doing this for four years. I've made
- 3:18over $14 million from trading. I haven't
- 3:21sold a course. I don't sell any courses.
- 3:23I don't sell any signals. Um, I don't do
- 3:26any of that. I'm just here to show you
- 3:28that trading is possible. Trading is
- 3:31something that you can take and learn
- 3:34and you can do it for the rest of your
- 3:36life. Like I think if I started with
- 3:37zero dollars, I would pick back up my
- 3:40phone, probably get a job, make like a
- 3:42100red, 200 bucks, and put it into a
- 3:44trading account and try my best to make
- 3:47money from it. So, right now, I don't
- 3:49know if I can show you. Um I don't know
- 3:51if you will see it this way, but right
- 3:53now,
- 3:54um I can't see my screen, so I don't
- 3:56know if you can see my screen, but right
- 3:58now, I am floating $2,000.
- 4:01It is 10:30 a.m. and I am just trading,
- 4:05right? I think price is going to go up.
- 4:08So, I don't know if you can see my
- 4:10screen, but I think price is going to go
- 4:12up. As you can see, I have a buy in.
- 4:15Once again, I'm not sure if you can
- 4:16really see my screen, but I'm in a buy
- 4:19right now. I think price is going to go
- 4:22up and it is making me money. $2,000. As
- 4:26you can see, it fluctuate. And over
- 4:28time, you'll have emotions, have all
- 4:29these things going in your head as
- 4:31you're making money. But later down the
- 4:33course, I will explain. I don't know how
- 4:36many videos this is going to be, but
- 4:38every time I make a video, excuse me,
- 4:41every time I make a video, I'm going
- 4:42just throw it in there if it is, you
- 4:44know, seems fit. So, with this being
- 4:47said, since you already know a little
- 4:49bit about trading, you already should um
- 4:53feel a little bit comfortable. you don't
- 4:55know exactly what you're getting to
- 4:57into, but I'm going to show you. So,
- 4:59first and
- 5:01foremost, you are going to need a Forex
- 5:04broker. You're going to need Trading
- 5:06View, and you're going to need a uh just
- 5:10Wi-Fi in general, right? You're just
- 5:11going to need those things. I have a
- 5:13broker link down below that you can use.
- 5:15You don't have to use mine. It's okay. I
- 5:17don't care. Or and you can use Trading
- 5:20View as well. Trading View, you need
- 5:22This is what we're on right now. Trading
- 5:23View, you need this. All right, so those
- 5:26things you need, get out the way. And
- 5:28make sure you also get a crypto
- 5:30brokerage as well. I personally use
- 5:32Coinbase. I've been using Coinbase for a
- 5:34while now. I've also used Kraken. Um,
- 5:38you can use that too as well, but I I
- 5:40like Coinbase now because they have
- 5:42instant withdrawals, so it's pretty
- 5:44good. But this is how you're going to
- 5:45deposit and withdraw your money into
- 5:48your bank account and out of your bank
- 5:50account, vice versa. So, if you want to
- 5:51deposit, you're going to buy Bitcoin.
- 5:54Once you buy the Bitcoin, you're going
- 5:55to deposit into your broker. And then
- 5:57when you're ready to withdraw after
- 5:58you've made money from trading, you'll
- 6:00withdraw from your broker into your
- 6:02crypto portfolio and then into your bank
- 6:04account. So, with all that being said,
- 6:08you're probably asking yourself, okay,
- 6:10how do I trade? Right? So, I'm going to
- 6:14start off with the basics, the
- 6:15fundamentals. And this video is very
- 6:17very important because the fundamentals
- 6:19are very very important. It's like
- 6:21dribbling a basketball. Like you have to
- 6:24know how to dribble before you start
- 6:26doing the crossovers and the and the
- 6:28hizzys and the and the and the shazams
- 6:31and all that, right? I don't know
- 6:32anything about basketball. I don't care.
- 6:34Um but you need the fundamentals. You
- 6:38need to know how to dribble. So I'm
- 6:39going to show you how to dribble. Right?
- 6:41So two things uptrends downtrends and
- 6:46three things actually up uptrends
- 6:48downtrends consolidation know the three
- 6:51know when these three are happening this
- 6:54will save you from a lot and this is
- 6:56what this video is going to be about
- 6:57uptrends downtrends consolidation how to
- 7:01identify right so first uptrends or
- 7:04downtrends we're going to start with
- 7:05first right
- 7:08downtrends now we are going to Look at
- 7:11this and we're going to tell ourselves
- 7:14this is a downtrend. Say this to
- 7:16yourself right now. This is a
- 7:18downtrend. You say it to yourself.
- 7:21Whatever I'm looking at, so I'm you
- 7:24right now. Whatever I'm looking at, I'm
- 7:27going to see this as a downtrend. So
- 7:29repeat that to yourself. Whatever I'm
- 7:32looking at, I see this and it is a
- 7:34downtrend. That's first and foremost.
- 7:37Now answer the question, why do I see
- 7:40this as a downtrend? Right? This is
- 7:42where you start to learn. Now a
- 7:44downtrend consists of lower lows and
- 7:47lower highs. So in this case, this is a
- 7:50lower
- 7:53high and this is a
- 7:56lower low, right? Why do we call this a
- 8:02lower low and a lower high? Now first
- 8:05you need to remember there is highs and
- 8:09there is lows.
- 8:12Right? Right. These are two two things
- 8:14that I I look at. Lows highs highs lows.
- 8:18Right. You start off with these and this
- 8:20is what will determine if a you get a
- 8:24lower high or a low lower low. So let's
- 8:27say we have a low in this situation.
- 8:29This will be a low, right? So, this is
- 8:33our low. Let's just say this is our
- 8:37low. Why is this our low? So, we're
- 8:40going to backtrack and we're going to
- 8:42show you this. I'm going to show you
- 8:43like this. This is our
- 8:45low. Why is this our low? Because price
- 8:49got to a certain point. It got to a
- 8:52certain certain decline,
- 8:55decrease, and it pivoted. So, this is
- 8:58the lowest point we can be low, right?
- 9:00This is the lowest point we can be also
- 9:03with the high. This is our highest point
- 9:06that we can be.
- 9:08Right? This is the highest point that we
- 9:11can be. Now, this is where you can
- 9:14identify trends. This is where you start
- 9:15to be able to identify trends. Right?
- 9:17So, with this low and with this high, we
- 9:21can now say, okay, price has reached a
- 9:24certain level and this is our low, this
- 9:27is our high. Now how we can determine
- 9:29what a trend is is because we'll get
- 9:31this but then what comes next will
- 9:33determine the trend. So if we have this
- 9:35low and we have this high if price
- 9:38breaks the low right if price breaks the
- 9:42low this now becomes our lower
- 9:47low. Lower low. This is lower than the
- 9:51previous low. Common sense lower than
- 9:54our previous low. So this would make our
- 9:57lower low right. Same thing with lower
- 10:00highs. So if our high is made and it is
- 10:06lower than the previous high, then this
- 10:08would be our lower high. Right? This is
- 10:11our lower high.
- 10:13Now from this point on, this is where
- 10:17the downtrend continues or this is where
- 10:20everything will play into part. Later
- 10:22on, I'm going to get into ICC, which is
- 10:24the way that I trade. It's a three-step
- 10:26process that basically shows you how I
- 10:29enter, exit, and use a stop-loss. All
- 10:32these terms will be learned later on
- 10:34down the line. But I'm just going to
- 10:35show you the fundamentals of a trend
- 10:38because you need to know this first. You
- 10:40need to learn how to dribble the ball
- 10:42before you can start doing crossovers,
- 10:44shimmies, layups, and [ __ ]
- 10:45three-point shots, right? So, this is
- 10:47what you need to know first.
- 10:50So, with this being said, we're going to
- 10:53have our lower high and then we're going
- 10:55to have another lower low, lower high,
- 10:58lower low. So, take your time to look at
- 11:01this. Um, let me go
- 11:04back. Take your time to look at
- 11:07this and say this is a trend. This is a
- 11:12downtrend.
- 11:15Now, before I start showing you candles
- 11:17and stuff, we'll probably make that into
- 11:18another video. But before I start
- 11:20showing you
- 11:22candles, this is a downtrend. So, go
- 11:25ahead and classify this as a
- 11:30downtrend, right?
- 11:33Downtrends. And this same way can be
- 11:37used. So, we can take
- 11:39this, we can copy it over
- 11:44And I'm pretty sure if I
- 11:46press Oh, it just does that. But if we
- 11:50take this and we rotate it, I'm pretty
- 11:53sure I could do that with just this, but
- 11:55I guess it's not wanting to do it. I
- 11:57think it's just rotating the whole
- 11:58thing. But with this, I we'll just start
- 12:02over. The same way will be an uptrend,
- 12:06right? So remember, there's lows and
- 12:09highs into the market, right? There's
- 12:11lows and highs in the market. So this is
- 12:13our highest point. So this is our
- 12:16high, right? Before all of this
- 12:19happened. So we're going to put this
- 12:20here. We're going to put this here.
- 12:22We're going to drag this here. Before
- 12:23all this happened, we had a high, right?
- 12:26This is the highest point we can get in
- 12:28our life.
- 12:29High. Highest point. It's like it's like
- 12:33smoking smoking drugs or like smoking
- 12:35weed, right? you you you smoke weed and
- 12:39it's like you smoke weed and you're
- 12:41like, "Yo, this is the highest I can
- 12:43get, right? This is the highest I can
- 12:45get." And then you start doing other
- 12:48drugs and you're like, "Dang, this is"
- 12:49You start [ __ ] I don't know, doing
- 12:51cocaine and then you're like,
- 12:53"Dang, this is the highest I can get."
- 12:55Like life just gets higher and higher,
- 12:57right? So the same way with price, this
- 13:00is the highest you think price can get
- 13:02and then price ends up making a higher
- 13:04high, right?
- 13:06price ends up making a higher high and
- 13:08once price has a higher high it ends up
- 13:11making a higher low. So now we have
- 13:14a higher
- 13:19high and then with that higher high we
- 13:22have to come back down and then price is
- 13:24going to make that higher low. So I
- 13:26forgot to mark this part. So higher
- 13:28low and this is oh this is our high this
- 13:31is our low and then this is a higher
- 13:34high than the previous one. So this one
- 13:36is higher than the previous or this one
- 13:38is higher than the previous one. This
- 13:40low is higher than the previous
- 13:42low. Right? So we
- 13:46have higher low because it's higher than
- 13:48the previous low. Now, with this being
- 13:51said, what you're seeing right now, hold
- 13:53on, let me mark this as
- 13:56uptrend,
- 13:58right? What you are seeing right now, I
- 14:02want you to put this and drill this into
- 14:04the back of your
- 14:06head. Price will not break these levels
- 14:10on
- 14:11purpose on the higher time frame. And
- 14:14we're going to get into time frames
- 14:15later. I trade the higher time frame
- 14:17because it's strong. You get more you
- 14:20get more money because I was going to
- 14:22say points, but you don't even know what
- 14:23[ __ ] points are yet. Um, but you make
- 14:27more money by staying on that higher
- 14:29time frame. There's people that trade on
- 14:30the smaller time frames, but that comes
- 14:32with experience. I am trying to teach
- 14:35you the fastest way, not guaranteed, but
- 14:37the fastest way to start making some
- 14:40kind of money fast, right? But with that
- 14:43being said, price will not break this
- 14:45structure. Price will not break an
- 14:47uptrend or downtrend unless it's
- 14:49intended to reverse or it is
- 14:52consolidating. Now you're probably
- 14:54asking what the [ __ ] is a consolidation,
- 14:56right? So now I want you to remember
- 14:59uptrend
- 15:00downtrend. Remember that you got the
- 15:02high, the low, the higher high, the
- 15:04higher low, lower high, lower low, low
- 15:07and high. Right? So remember that
- 15:09uptrend downtrend. Now, what is
- 15:11consolidation? Consolidation is
- 15:13basically when a high and a low is
- 15:17being, I guess you could say, broken
- 15:20back and forth. So, you will see a high
- 15:23and then you expect a higher low, but
- 15:26instead you have a low being broken and
- 15:29it is just sideways. So, it's not going
- 15:32in any direction. It is normally
- 15:34breaking higher highs, higher low. It's
- 15:37breaking everything. It has no rules.
- 15:39And one thing about trading is
- 15:41everything has to follow a rule. You
- 15:43have to follow the rules. Charts
- 15:45normally have to follow rules.
- 15:47Fundamentals follow rules. Technical
- 15:50analysis follow rules. Everything
- 15:52follows the rules. You need a plan. You
- 15:53need it. You need all this. Everything
- 15:55has rules. Life has rules. You have
- 15:57rules. Trading has rules. So if
- 16:00consolidation is breaking the rules, you
- 16:02do not want to put yourself around
- 16:04something that is breaking the rules.
- 16:06It's it's like common sense. Trading
- 16:08always for me relates back to life
- 16:11because it is
- 16:13exactly it it's exactly what um like
- 16:18trading and life mirrors each other. You
- 16:20wouldn't put yourself around criminal
- 16:22friends. You wouldn't put yourself
- 16:23around criminals because you know they
- 16:25break the rules. So in trading, why
- 16:27would you put yourself around people or
- 16:29why would you put yourself around a
- 16:32price or a market where it constantly
- 16:35breaks the rules? You want to find
- 16:37something that follows the rules. I
- 16:38trade NASDAQ. I've been trading it for
- 16:40four years. I've made over millions of
- 16:42dollars on it and it breaks rules
- 16:44sometimes and that's when you stay away
- 16:46from the markets and then when it
- 16:48doesn't break rules, you're always
- 16:49making money. So, with this being said,
- 16:51always put yourself in a predicament
- 16:53where you
- 16:55are with a trend that is following the
- 16:58rules. You don't want to be in
- 16:59consolidation. I'm not going to explain
- 17:01more about consolidation, but this you
- 17:04do not want to trade. Consolidation,
- 17:06don't trade it. I'm telling you now,
- 17:08don't trade it. How can you identify it?
- 17:10Identify it by when price is, you know,
- 17:13you're looking for that uptrend, you
- 17:14start to see your high and you start to
- 17:16see your low, and then you see your
- 17:18higher high, but then you start seeing
- 17:19it break down to the downside, then get
- 17:21away from it. Stay away from it because
- 17:23then that is probably showing you it is
- 17:26consolidating or it's breaking rules.
- 17:28You don't want to be around trends that
- 17:29are breaking rules. You want trends to
- 17:31follow the structure that I have shown
- 17:33you. It's going to be complex. It's not
- 17:36going to look as pretty as what I'm
- 17:37showing you. But with these um with
- 17:42these in mind, I think this will pretty
- 17:44much help you along the way and help you
- 17:48overall as a beginner. But this is
- 17:51episode one and I'm going to continue to
- 17:54keep making these videos. So with that
- 17:56being
- 17:56said, take this into consideration and
- 18:00overall look at this and say, "Hey, I
- 18:03understand what an uptrend and downtrend
- 18:06is and I know what consolidation is." So
- 18:08consolidation for you for you people.
- 18:14Consolidation. Consolidation. Boom.
- 18:18Right. So, next time next time we're
- 18:20going to talk about or I might as well
- 18:22just show you an example of what
- 18:25uptrends and downtrends look like,
- 18:28right? So, take a picture of this, take
- 18:30a screenshot of this, whatever you need
- 18:32to do as a beginner. Um, take whatever
- 18:35notes you need to take. I'm going to
- 18:36keep this up for like two more
- 18:39seconds. Waiting on you. All right,
- 18:42you're good. Um, we're going to remove
- 18:45this and we're going to take this. Now,
- 18:48what you are looking at might seem a
- 18:50little crazy, but I kid you not, over
- 18:53time it's going to make sense. So, a
- 18:57sneak peek, I like to use the one one
- 19:00hour time frame. Um, in this situation,
- 19:02I think we should use the let's say 4our
- 19:06time frame. Let's see if we can find
- 19:08something that makes super sense to you.
- 19:11Um, we're going to use this for example,
- 19:13right? Super cent price is going to have
- 19:19let's say let's say this is our high
- 19:21here, right? We have our high and then
- 19:23we have our low. As you can see, price
- 19:26has our high has our low. As we can also
- 19:29see price comes up a little bit, makes a
- 19:32new high, but this high is lower than
- 19:34the previous high. So now we have a
- 19:36lower high right here. Right? We can say
- 19:38HL and then we have our low right here.
- 19:41Right? Our
- 19:42low and then we have our high up
- 19:47here.
- 19:49Right? So now we have our LH price goes
- 19:54down and we create a low. Well, how do
- 19:57you know that's a low? Because price
- 19:58reaches a certain point before it starts
- 20:00to make a shift in another direction. So
- 20:03we have our lower high once again
- 20:06because this high is lower than the
- 20:08previous one. So we have our LH and then
- 20:11we have our lower low. So lower than a
- 20:15previous low which is right here, right?
- 20:18Or you can even use this one down here,
- 20:20whichever one fits for you. But this one
- 20:22is a support and we're going to talk
- 20:24about that later. But we have a lower
- 20:27low, a lower high. And then we have a
- 20:29new low, which means this low is lower
- 20:33than the previous one. So that is a
- 20:34another lower low. And then we have
- 20:38another lower high because this high, as
- 20:41you can see, it was going up high, but
- 20:43it didn't go higher than this one. And
- 20:46vice versa, we can literally track this
- 20:49all the way down, right? We can track
- 20:52this all the way down. Um, but those
- 20:55that that's just basic fundamentals. As
- 20:58we go more in depth, you will start to
- 21:00understand what you can mark, what you
- 21:02can't mark, what to look at, what not to
- 21:03look at, when to trade, when not to
- 21:05trade. Just continue
- 21:08to watch the videos that I put out. Um,
- 21:12but if you have any questions on the
- 21:14basic trends or the basic fundamentals
- 21:16of finding a trend, let me know. Comment
- 21:19down below. But this is the basics of
- 21:21finding a trend.
