- 3:14you'll also get
- 3:15my pre-trading checklist a special video
- 3:18on holding losers too long and selling
- 3:20winners too soon which is something that
- 3:22many traders struggle with all right so
- 3:25with that said why don't we go ahead and
- 3:28jump in to today's topic which is
- 3:30entries and exits for momentum trading
- 3:34i'm going to go to full screen
- 3:38and
- 3:38i've got my drawing tool
- 3:41and yes it's working all right so we'll
- 3:44add some uh graphics here make this look
- 3:47nice and pretty and let's go ahead and
- 3:49jump in i'm going to go
- 3:50full screen
- 3:52let's see and i'll
- 3:53remind folks
- 3:55who perhaps don't already know
- 3:58the trading is risky i want to make sure
- 3:59i put my disclaimer out there trading is
- 4:01risky most beginner traders do lose
- 4:03money and my results are not typical
- 4:05having said that it's important that you
- 4:07know the person that you're learning
- 4:09from is qualified and
- 4:11i am uh i will show you let's see um
- 4:16where's my trader view
- 4:18i think i had it up here um
- 4:22looks like maybe i closed it
- 4:23i have uh over 11 million dollars in
- 4:26gross profit trading a momentum day
- 4:29trading strategy that i'll be sharing a
- 4:31little bit with you today uh just as
- 4:34as it pertains to entries and exits so
- 4:36i do think that i'm very qualified to be
- 4:38speaking on this topic
- 4:41so if you're out there wondering well
- 4:43you know is this even real money you can
- 4:44go over my website warriortrading.com
- 4:46and you'll see my broker statements on
- 4:49the footer of the website
- 4:50all right so uh with that said let me go
- 4:53ahead and
- 4:54jump back in here all right so
- 4:57and back to full screen
- 5:01so high level before we start talking in
- 5:05detail about
- 5:07entries and exits
- 5:09i want to talk about the momentum
- 5:10checklist
- 5:11this is uh pretty important because
- 5:14the problem that a lot of beginner
- 5:17traders have is trading the wrong types
- 5:20of stocks and when you trade the wrong
- 5:21types of stocks you invariably end up
- 5:24catching yourself with big losers small
- 5:28winners
- 5:29and chasing
- 5:31chasing setups because they don't
- 5:33resolve the way you would expect them to
- 5:36so what is the criteria or what is the
- 5:38checklist for momentum
- 5:40well so for momentum you can trade all
- 5:43day long i wouldn't say that you can
- 5:46only trade in the morning or you can
- 5:47only trade in the afternoon you can
- 5:49trade momentum at any time of the day
- 5:52however i've always found that the first
- 5:53two hours are the best and that's
- 5:56uh you know it used to be from 9 30
- 5:58until about 11 30 and more and more so
- 6:01it's starting pre-market so from 7 30 8
- 6:05until 10 30 11 11 30 is still pretty
- 6:08good cut off but pre-market i'm trading
- 6:118 8 30 9 a.m before the market even
- 6:14opens now if you're not sure how to
- 6:15trade before the market opens
- 6:17i have a separate video where i talk
- 6:19specifically about that so
- 6:21don't worry i can answer that question
- 6:22for you separately but
- 6:24uh generally speaking i would say the
- 6:26best time of day to be trading
- 6:27aggressively is early earlier is better
- 6:30all right
- 6:31so now what type of stock do you want to
- 6:33be trading
- 6:35if you're focusing on momentum and
- 6:37you're looking for stocks that have the
- 6:38percentage or the
- 6:40potential to make big percentage gains
- 6:43you're going to be looking for lower
- 6:44float stocks
- 6:46so one of the things that i found in my
- 6:47career is that you're never going to
- 6:48capture the entire move if the stock
- 6:50goes up
- 6:51you know 50 you're never going to
- 6:53capture the full 50
- 6:55you'll capture a small piece of that
- 6:57so if a stock is only going up four or
- 6:59five percent a small piece of four or
- 7:01five percent
- 7:02even if you're using leverage even if
- 7:04you're trading with options
- 7:06isn't significant you're not going to be
- 7:07able to make good money so i think you
- 7:10want to look for stocks that have the
- 7:11potential to go up at least 10 to 20
- 7:13percent but really with a target of 50
- 7:1675 100 or more
- 7:18so i'm going to pose the question to you
- 7:22how does a stock go up 100
- 7:24in one day what
- 7:26in maybe the past when you've seen that
- 7:28happen what has been the context around
- 7:30it what's been the story around that
- 7:32stock how has that been possible if you
- 7:34think of uh dwac the
- 7:38special acquisition company that you
- 7:40know was slated or is slated to acquire
- 7:42trump media true social that went from
- 7:4510 to 175 dollars in two days
- 7:48was that the type of stock i would like
- 7:50trading
- 7:50absolutely definitely and i did trade it
- 7:53that had a catalyst and it had a
- 7:55relatively low float the float was 28
- 7:58million shares
- 7:59so there were only 28 million shares
- 8:01available to trade
- 8:02that's certainly under the 50 million
- 8:04cut off and
- 8:06combined with a really strong catalyst
- 8:08there was a huge imbalance between
- 8:10supply and demand
- 8:12and that in turn resulted in very high
- 8:15relative volume
- 8:17so relative volume
- 8:20this is simply
- 8:21uh oh sorry relative volume right here
- 8:24this is simply the volume today versus
- 8:26what is average for a stock over the
- 8:28last 14 days so if a stock over the last
- 8:3114 days has been trading on average with
- 8:32a hundred thousand shares a day and
- 8:34today is trading 150 000 shares its
- 8:38volume relative volume is 1.5
- 8:40200 000 shares would be a relative
- 8:42volume of two right so and it goes on um
- 8:45so on and so forth
- 8:47i focus on stocks with at least two
- 8:48times relative volume i prefer five
- 8:50times relative volume
- 8:53all right so a stock will have five
- 8:55times relative volume if it's already up
- 8:5720 30 percent has a great catalyst
- 8:59that's almost always going to be the
- 9:00case
- 9:01ideally for a strong momentum chart
- 9:04momentum stock we want to see a good
- 9:06daily chart the daily chart should be
- 9:08above the 9 ema we also would like to
- 9:11see it above the 200 ema but if it's
- 9:13below the 200 ema we'd like to see that
- 9:15has a lot of room to come up to the 200
- 9:17ema before it hits resistance there
- 9:20again
- 9:20not trying to get into a ton of
- 9:23technical analysis here in this episode
- 9:26i have another episode uh that you guys
- 9:28can check out on um the four indicators
- 9:31that every trader should be using so can
- 9:33point you in that direction i'll put
- 9:34some links to these videos in the
- 9:35description um
- 9:37so requirements stock should have a
- 9:39catalyst or be a former runner which is
- 9:41a form of momentum stock
- 9:43price range between a dollar fifty and
- 9:45twenty but this is applicable on all
- 9:47price ranges uh dwac went all the way up
- 9:49to 175 dollars a share so it's certainly
- 9:52possible that you could trade a higher
- 9:53price stock uh trading momentum but the
- 9:56risk is going to be a little bit higher
- 9:58so how do we find these types of stocks
- 9:59to trade i find these types of stocks of
- 10:02trade every single day using scanners so
- 10:05i use stock scanners to search the
- 10:07market and i have a couple um right over
- 10:09here that i can show you
- 10:11so uh this is a the software that i use
- 10:14right here
- 10:15so i can go scanners and
- 10:18do large cap
- 10:20i can go to small cap top gappers so
- 10:23these are the top gappers today in the
- 10:24entire u.s equities market
- 10:26if i go to scanners i go to high a day
- 10:28momentum these are stocks that are
- 10:30moving up right now in real time so this
- 10:33is how i find stocks to trade and then
- 10:35once i've found a stock that i think is
- 10:37a good candidate because it's got high
- 10:39relative volume it's up enough it's got
- 10:41a good float the price is okay the daily
- 10:43chart looks good then it's time to take
- 10:45the trade
- 10:46all right so this gets into entries and
- 10:48exits
- 10:50entry is based on a chart pattern
- 10:53generally speaking you probably already
- 10:55understood that and i'll go split screen
- 10:57so you can see those
- 10:59charts a little bit better
- 11:00so a chart pattern
- 11:02is
- 11:03basically it's a pattern that you are
- 11:05familiar with that you know consistently
- 11:08gives you winners
- 11:10okay so these are just four examples
- 11:13of chart patterns
- 11:15in each of these patterns there is an
- 11:18apex
- 11:19which is the entry point
- 11:21the point the price to be
- 11:23a buyer
- 11:24all right so in the case of
- 11:27right here this first example where
- 11:29we've got this sell-off
- 11:31the entry is the first candle to make a
- 11:34new high right here so if you've got
- 11:36five 10 plus red candles in a row your
- 11:39entry is the first candle to make a new
- 11:40high and now some people will have some
- 11:43questions about that for clarification
- 11:44so let's look i'm going to go
- 11:48full screen here all right so
- 11:50this right here as you can see
- 11:53is a bull flag
- 11:55all right
- 11:56so this stock has squeezed up right here
- 11:59it's squeezed up up up and then it's
- 12:01experienced a little bit of pullback
- 12:03we've got one red candle and we've got a
- 12:05second red candle
- 12:07so during this pullback
- 12:09this is where i might be looking
- 12:11at the stock and saying i think i want
- 12:13to buy this now an aggressive trader may
- 12:15trade during this ramp up right here we
- 12:18don't know what time frame this is we
- 12:20could say this is a one minute time
- 12:21frame and if it is then you know that
- 12:23right around here was a micro pullback
- 12:26right around there because you can see
- 12:28how this candle was a high and this one
- 12:30opened a little lower which means it
- 12:31popped up it pulled back just for a
- 12:32second and gave you a micro pullback so
- 12:35you can see micro pullbacks on
- 12:38this little instance right here
- 12:41so it moves higher it pulls back just
- 12:43for a second and then it continues all
- 12:46right sometimes it looks like this and
- 12:47sometimes it looks like that so a micro
- 12:50pullback is a totally valid entry
- 12:52now in this case that would be
- 12:54aggressive
- 12:55and so it would be a bit of a more
- 12:57conservative entry would be waiting for
- 13:00the pullback to occur
- 13:01and then buying the first candle to make
- 13:03a new high now notice i have this dotted
- 13:05this um this little sort of dotted line
- 13:08here
- 13:09as soon as this green candle breaks the
- 13:11high of this previous red candle
- 13:14i'm a buyer
- 13:15now if this candle let's say the high
- 13:18this candle is five dollars the high of
- 13:19that red count is five dollars
- 13:21when this starts coming up if i see
- 13:24green
- 13:25on the tape
- 13:26which is right next to our level two
- 13:28window if i see green on the tape at 495
- 13:31496 497 498
- 13:34i may go ahead and i likely will go
- 13:36ahead and buy to anticipate the break
- 13:40through this level
- 13:42sometimes i'll take a starter 5 cents or
- 13:44even 10 cents early
- 13:46and then i will add as it approaches and
- 13:48comes through that level
- 13:50i'm then looking for continuation and
- 13:52resolution of the pattern which in this
- 13:54case is through the high of day
- 13:57if i'm feeling aggressive i can go ahead
- 14:00and add again as it breaks through high
- 14:02of day
- 14:03and then as we squeeze up here i make
- 14:06the decision of either taking profit off
- 14:08the table
- 14:09or
- 14:10if let's say right up here is let's just
- 14:13say this is
- 14:14six dollars i may say i'm gonna go ahead
- 14:17and add for the break of six because
- 14:19this is parabolic it's moving so quickly
- 14:23that i have the opportunity to keep
- 14:24adding because this could go higher and
- 14:27that type of decision would be based on
- 14:28the quality of the daily chart the
- 14:30quality of the catalyst and the flow to
- 14:32the stock
- 14:34so
- 14:35when we're looking at these patterns
- 14:37these are all these are just examples of
- 14:38patterns and there's
- 14:40literally hundreds of different patterns
- 14:43that you could choose to trade
- 14:45one of the things that's going to be
- 14:46important for a beginner trader is
- 14:49making a decision about which patterns
- 14:53you want to focus on right i mean
- 14:55ultimately that's that's an important
- 14:57component of
- 14:59of your strategy so as part of creating
- 15:02a strategy
- 15:03for reference
- 15:05so on this page here
- 15:08this has a pdf of my micro pullback
- 15:11strategy so the micro pullback strategy
- 15:14is what we've got going on right here
- 15:16that's a micro pullback it pops up it
- 15:17pulls back for a second and it continues
- 15:19it doesn't even form a full pullback
- 15:21like what we got right here
- 15:24or like what we saw right here
- 15:26these are both stocks trending up this
- 15:28is a stock trending down and then it's a
- 15:30reversal trade
- 15:31all right so this is a very well defined
- 15:33pullback this is a well-defined pullback
- 15:35that has a false attempt pulls back and
- 15:37then goes higher and this is a micro
- 15:39pullback so if you want to learn more
- 15:41about those specific strategies that are
- 15:45around those patterns then you know you
- 15:48should check this out
- 15:49if you already have
- 15:51a strategy that you're sort of trading
- 15:53but you just feel like your entries
- 15:55aren't dialed in you're getting in a
- 15:57little too high
- 15:59you're not selling it quite the right
- 16:00place you're not fully maximizing on the
- 16:03opportunities of these trades
- 16:05then
- 16:06when we get into the live trading
- 16:07archives i think that's going to help
- 16:08you uh quite a bit
- 16:10all right so
- 16:12let's talk about the entry and by the
- 16:14way for people that are tuning in maybe
- 16:16a few minutes late to this live
- 16:17broadcast thank you for tuning in make
- 16:19sure you hit the thumbs up i'm donating

- 16:41humanitarian causes in ukraine all right
- 16:44so for people that are in ukraine right
- 16:45now
- 16:46so make sure you hit the thumbs up and
- 16:48make sure you share this video okay so
- 16:50now let's talk about the entry all right
- 16:53so what is the apex point of this
- 16:56pattern
- 16:57so back to our little case study right
- 16:59here
- 17:01the apex point
- 17:02of this pattern
- 17:05if this if you're going to take an entry
- 17:07on the bull flag
- 17:09then the apex point
- 17:11is the first candle to make a new high
- 17:13which is right here
- 17:14that's the apex point now some traders
- 17:16would take a high a day break
- 17:18and if you're taking a high day break
- 17:20then your apex point is literally high
- 17:22of day
- 17:24all right so this could have two
- 17:26important levels i would say important
- 17:28levels to watch
- 17:30this right here and then this up sorry
- 17:32this right here and then this up at the
- 17:33top all right depending on which
- 17:35strategy you're focusing on if you're
- 17:37taking a high day break you're going at
- 17:38the top if you're taking first candle
- 17:39make a new high on the bull flag pull
- 17:40back then you're entering entering right
- 17:42there so what's the apex point of this
- 17:44pattern now if we go back to our
- 17:46previous slide
- 17:48you'll see that
- 17:50this pattern down here
- 17:53initially
- 17:54was a bull flag
- 17:56it squeezes up and then it pulls back
- 17:59and the first candle makes a new high
- 18:01right so that's your first entry first
- 18:03candle makes a new high right there
- 18:06max loss is the low of this pullback
- 18:09it goes up but it doesn't break through
- 18:12the high
- 18:13okay so this ends up forming a false
- 18:15breakout
- 18:16however this is a different pattern as
- 18:18it continues to consolidate above the
- 18:21low of this pullback this is what we
- 18:23would call a longer period of
- 18:24consolidation it is a wedge we can call
- 18:27it an abcd pattern
- 18:29and now we're watching for the price to
- 18:31break this high right here and then go
- 18:33through the high a day and what we find
- 18:35is that when these stocks continue to
- 18:37trend in these small ranges that
- 18:38eventually they break they can break out
- 18:41up or they can break down
- 18:43right so there's no guarantee that's
- 18:44gonna break to the upside but if this is
- 18:47a stock that has a strong catalyst that
- 18:48has a relatively low float
- 18:50it's a popular stock a lot of people are
- 18:52watching it the price is right then
- 18:53there's a good chance it'll break to the
- 18:54upside and time of day is also a factor
- 18:57but there's a good chance so in this
- 18:58case initially with your entry down here
- 19:01and your max loss
- 19:03would this have been a winner or would
- 19:05this have first trade have been a loser
- 19:07well that depends on how you trade if
- 19:09you're an aggressive trader using
- 19:11leverage then there's a very good chance
- 19:14that you would have taken profit off the
- 19:16table as it came up here or as the first
- 19:19candle closed red
- 19:21and or made a new low versus this
- 19:23pullback
- 19:24because this was telling us that it
- 19:25can't get through the high on this first
- 19:27attempt right it's pulling back all
- 19:30right so
- 19:31this should have been a winning trade
- 19:33but if you had a very small position
- 19:34maybe you'd say well it wasn't up enough
- 19:36to be a winner it didn't hit my stop so
- 19:38i'm still holding it pulls back almost
- 19:40all the way back to your stop
- 19:42but then it comes back up
- 19:44and then on this attempt as it breaks
- 19:45through the high this is where you would
- 19:47look to maybe take some profit off the
- 19:48table but a more aggressive trader could
- 19:51take two three or four trays in this
- 19:53area your first trade is right here
- 19:56your second trade is right here and then
- 19:58you've got another trade on an ad for
- 19:59the break through the highs
- 20:01so you can be very active if you'd like
- 20:03to or you could be less active so you
- 20:06have to first figure out what is the
- 20:07apex point of the pattern and if you
- 20:08don't know the apex point of the pattern
- 20:11it's
- 20:12because of the definition of apex
- 20:14the other way of saying it is what is
- 20:16the point that needs to break for this
- 20:18pattern to be resolving
- 20:20all right if you don't know what that
- 20:22price is you need to get a better
- 20:23understanding of the pattern that you're
- 20:25trading
- 20:26then a question is what is the proximity
- 20:28of the nearest half or whole dollar
- 20:30relative to the apex point this is
- 20:32important because
- 20:34we have psychological resistance around
- 20:37half and hold dollars so as stocks are
- 20:39approaching these levels it's very
- 20:41common that we find resistance so back
- 20:43to our little chart here
- 20:46so in the first example i think i said
- 20:49this was like 498 right so 4.98 or that
- 20:53was 5
- 20:54so i'd be a buyer
- 20:56as it's approaching that critical level
- 20:58of 498 for the break of five i might be
- 21:01buying at 495 496 might even be buying
- 21:04it for 485 depending on how much it
- 21:07pulled back and what the level two looks
- 21:09like now level two and time and sales
- 21:11i'm going to show you when we get into
- 21:12the live trading archives and in just a
- 21:13few minutes of this
- 21:15this episode
- 21:17but if this right here this high a day
- 21:20was at 5 50.
- 21:22then your high a day is right at
- 21:23psychological resistance and there's a
- 21:25higher likelihood that we're going to
- 21:27come up and we're going to double top
- 21:29against that level because it's
- 21:30psychological resistance then we need to
- 21:32pull back hold over five psychological
- 21:35support and then come up for a second
- 21:38attempt through five
- 21:40so this is something that we're going to
- 21:41struggle with a lot around half dollars
- 21:42in whole dollars stocks that are really
- 21:44really strong sometimes they can just
- 21:46break right through those levels which
- 21:48is phenomenal when they do but more
- 21:50often than not
- 21:51a stock is going to run into a little
- 21:52bit of resistance so
- 21:54if the apex point of your
- 21:57chart or of your pattern for instance is
- 22:00like 495
- 22:02that presents a problem because the apex
- 22:05the breakout spot is just below
- 22:08a psychological resistance of a wall
- 22:10we'd rather have an apex point be right
- 22:13at it or just above it so when it has
- 22:15that burst of volume coming into the
- 22:17breakout it's enough to carry it
- 22:20clear through that level
- 22:23when
- 22:24it has that burst of volume but then it
- 22:25runs right into a sort of a ceiling
- 22:28that's when you can have a false
- 22:29breakout
- 22:31so what is the apex point of the pattern
- 22:33what's the proximity of the nearest half
- 22:34dollar whole dollar relative to the apex
- 22:36point and what is the max loss of the
- 22:38pattern so the max loss generally
- 22:41speaking is going to be the low of this
- 22:45pullback right here so this is your max
- 22:47loss
- 22:48so if you're entering and it's the
- 22:50bottom of that wick so if you're
- 22:52entering in the high here is five
- 22:53dollars but this is 425
- 22:56that's a 75 max loss
- 22:58that's going to be too much risk
- 23:00most likely it doesn't mean you can't
- 23:02take the trade you could still take the
- 23:04trade and you could take the approach of
- 23:06saying you know what i'm going to buy it
- 23:08at 4.95
- 23:09but i'm not going to hold it all the way
- 23:11down to 425 i'm just going to set an
- 23:13arbitrary stop on this at
- 23:15475.
- 23:17so you know risk
- 23:1820 cents
- 23:20and it might drop down to 475 and then
- 23:22come up for a second attempt at five and
- 23:24the chart will look like it was never a
- 23:26bad chart why did you stop out well it's
- 23:29because i got in with a little too much
- 23:30size near the highs i couldn't afford to
- 23:32hold through the whole pullback
- 23:34different traders will have different
- 23:35points of view on this
- 23:37because i try to leverage my account
- 23:39which is to say i take as big of a
- 23:41position as i can possibly take
- 23:43for a lot of setups then i'm not going
- 23:46to be in a position to hold through a
- 23:48really big drawdown if you're gonna hold
- 23:50down 75 cents based on two to one profit
- 23:53loss ratio you should have the potential
- 23:55to make a dollar fifty so i'd rather
- 23:57hold down 15 cents with the potential to
- 23:59make 30 cents 30 cents especially on a
- 24:02three four dollar stock is much more
- 24:03obtainable than you know 50 75 cents or
- 24:06a dollar a share so
- 24:08you know again that that's you know your
- 24:10discretion do as you'd like use either a
- 24:13tight stop uh and know that sometimes
- 24:15you get stopped out and then it'll end
- 24:16up ripping
- 24:18but of course the best setups work right
- 24:20away you know the best setups don't
- 24:21falter they just go right through that
- 24:23level so if it doesn't work right away
- 24:25well you know it's probably okay you can
- 24:27always get back in if you really want to
- 24:29or you can use a looser stop but then
- 24:31you're gonna have to use smaller share
- 24:33size and the profit loss ratio still
- 24:34might not make sense
- 24:36so the max loss of the pattern and then
- 24:38uh enter the position then this is what
- 24:40i do if there's high relative volume and
- 24:44green on the tape as it approaches the
- 24:46apex point so high relative volume again
- 24:49the term that we talked about already
- 24:51that's versus the relative volume over
- 24:52the last 14 days we want to see it at
- 24:54least two times but preferably five
- 24:56times or higher and just for reference
- 24:58today
- 24:59the stocks that were on the scanner
- 25:01uh so this one leading gapper relative
- 25:04volume 710
- 25:06spi relative volume 22 acer relative
- 25:09volume 310 i mean these are all
- 25:12except for this one they're almost all
- 25:13far in excess of the two to five
- 25:16so
- 25:17usually that's not going to be hard but
- 25:19sometimes you might have a stock that
- 25:21just pops up on one of your scanners in
- 25:23the middle of the day
- 25:24and
- 25:25you know it might have lower relative
- 25:26volume i mean all of these are in this
- 25:28column here
- 25:29are still pretty high this is 3.46 but
- 25:33this one's 0.42 right so that might be
- 25:36one where we say you know what i the
- 25:37relative volume is too low i can't
- 25:39justify a trade on it and generally if
- 25:42you looked at that stock what you would
- 25:43find is that it doesn't have news
- 25:46so we don't really know exactly why
- 25:48you know it's popping up five or ten
- 25:49percent
- 25:51you know it could be i don't know some
- 25:52large trader hedge fund or mutual fund
- 25:55decide to take a position
- 25:57there's a million reasons but
- 25:59the likelihood that it's going to
- 26:00continue intraday to become you know a
- 26:03100 move without
- 26:07a catalyst is sort of unusual so then
- 26:10we've got our
- 26:12entry order types
- 26:14okay so for actually executing your
- 26:16entry
- 26:18so we're going to use i'm going to use
- 26:20hotkeys generally but you can use an
- 26:23order entry window if you'd prefer it's
- 26:25up to you
- 26:26and you'll see in the live trading
- 26:27archives examples of me using both so
- 26:30i'll show you that we'll get we're going
- 26:31to get into those examples in just a
- 26:33moment and it'll be a little easier to
- 26:34explain but i just want to make sure i
- 26:35kind of covered the bases here with this
- 26:37first
- 26:38so um
- 26:40using hotkeys uh or in the order entry
- 26:43window my order type is a marketable
- 26:45limit order
- 26:46so a marketable limit order
- 26:48uh that's a limit order where you're
- 26:51saying okay the ask on this stock here
- 26:54um you know right now is let's say the
- 26:56spread is 4.95 by five dollars
- 26:59so i'm going to put my buy order on this
- 27:02at 5 15
- 27:04and i'm going to press the buy button
- 27:05and the second i press the buy button
- 27:07i'm going to start buying shares at the
- 27:09current price of whatever it is 4.98
- 27:114.99
- 27:13i will keep getting filled my position
- 27:16but i won't fill anything higher than
- 27:17the high of my limit order so in the
- 27:19case of that example would be 5 15.
- 27:22i do that because
- 27:24and i always buy on the ask i don't buy
- 27:26them the bid i buy on the ask because if
- 27:29a stock is strong i will not have the
- 27:31opportunity to get filled on the bid if
- 27:33it's really strong it's moving quickly
- 27:35right now i won't fill on the bid so
- 27:37breakout traders always buy the ask and
- 27:40then we also will try to take profit on
- 27:42the ask we'll talk about that a little
- 27:43in just a second
- 27:44so
- 27:45as soon as i get in trade sometimes
- 27:47people say ross how do you manage your
- 27:48risk
- 27:50do you set a stop order you know what do
- 27:51you
- 27:52what do you how do you do this so
- 27:55i do not use live stop orders and i
- 27:56never have
- 27:58the reason is because if you use live
- 28:01stop orders if you put a stop order out
- 28:03let's say you buy 25 000 shares of this
- 28:07stock um that we were just
- 28:09talking about let's see by 25 000 shares
- 28:11of the stock at five dollars and you put
- 28:13a stop order at 475 it's a live stop
- 28:16order remember that broker dealers can
- 28:19see your stop order and they could stop
- 28:23hunt
- 28:23stop hunting is when the market makers
- 28:25and a sell order goes through they clear
- 28:27the book it drops down and as it sweeps
- 28:30down every order that goes through below
- 28:33someone's stop will make those uh
- 28:36orders execute as market sell orders the
- 28:39orders fill the stock drops and then
- 28:42immediately fills back in so you get
- 28:44these flash drops which are these candle
- 28:46wicks and then it fills right back in
- 28:47that's stop hunting it's called stop
- 28:49hunting and i never want to subject an
- 28:51order to get uh picked up by stop
- 28:54hunting market makers so i don't put out
- 28:56live stop orders now pre-market
- 28:59uh you can't put out stop orders anyways
- 29:02so prior to 9 30 stop orders
- 29:05aren't allowed so it doesn't really
- 29:07matter for pre-market and for regular
- 29:09hours even though i could do it i don't
- 29:11do it so
- 29:12mental stop only which means i need a
- 29:16button on my keyboard that i can press
- 29:18and when i press it my order will sell
- 29:20at the bid
- 29:22to bail out it's basically a panic sell
- 29:24button i don't want to have to pan excel
- 29:26if i can help it but i have that button
- 29:28on my keyboard just in case all right so
- 29:31that's a hotkey
- 29:32so now let's talk about the exit if this
- 29:35is a leveraged position all right so a
- 29:37leveraged position would be where you're
- 29:39using leverage or where you basically
- 29:40have you know a huge position in the
- 29:43stock
- 29:44i'm probably going to want to take a
- 29:45little profit through the breakout
- 29:47my highest risk is from the moment i am
- 29:50in with full size until i've taken some
- 29:52off the table so i'm going to be
- 29:54inclined to take some off the table
- 29:57and then i can look for continuation to
- 29:59add back to my position and this starts
- 30:01getting into very active trading
- 30:04which is what i do when we've got
- 30:05parabolic momentum for just base hit
- 30:08stuff i may not add back i may just get
- 30:10in and then take profit through the
- 30:11breakout if it's a smaller position you
- 30:14can hold through the breakout and then
- 30:16look for continuation to the next
- 30:17resistance level
- 30:19which is fine it just depends on your
- 30:20account size and how aggressive you are
- 30:23in in your strategy
- 30:25so depending on my cost basis and share
- 30:27size if i see red on the tape large sell
- 30:30orders or a red candle on the one minute
- 30:32and certainly on the five minute that
- 30:34may cause me um to go ahead and bail all
- 30:37right so and if i did that i'd be trying
- 30:40to sell on the ask but if i can't get
- 30:42filled then i'll hit the bit however
- 30:46using my hotkeys i sell into strength
- 30:48and i avoid hitting the bid at all costs
- 30:50because it feeds weakness and it will
- 30:52hurt my existing position so if i'm
- 30:54holding 25 000 shares and then i hit the
- 30:57bid for 12 500 shares it's gonna show as
- 31:01red on the tape
- 31:03right and what that red signals to other
- 31:05traders is weakness when i see red like
- 31:08that i interpret weakness i never want
- 31:10to hurt a position that i'm still
- 31:12holding and so i'm always going to try
- 31:13to sell into strength now a lot of
- 31:16beginner traders out there certainly
- 31:17robin hood traders traders that are on
- 31:19their mobile phone
- 31:20they might just do market order entry
- 31:22market order exits market order entries
- 31:24will be green on the tape because
- 31:26they're a buy order market order exits
- 31:27will be read on the tape
- 31:29and if you hit a market order exit with
- 31:30a large position which we sometimes see
- 31:33on some of these meme stocks it can
- 31:35cause these momentary flash drops as the
- 31:37market makers clear the book the fills
- 31:40stop hunting maybe perhaps as well and
- 31:42then it fills back in
- 31:44so that's something you have to be
- 31:45careful of it is more common on certain
- 31:48types of stocks especially meme stocks
- 31:50where you have multi-day
- 31:52hold uh traders that are holding
- 31:54positions from you know days or weeks
- 31:56previous that the stock has been
- 31:58trending
- 32:00using hotkeys i can also set profit
- 32:02target orders so i can send order to
- 32:03take a
- 32:05quarter of my position off the table up
- 32:0615 cents or 25 cents i mean all of these
- 32:09hotkeys you can configure however you'd
- 32:11like i will do that in certain instances
- 32:14not all the time i'm more likely as it's
- 32:17going up just to put out my order at
- 32:18that moment to take profit um at the ask
- 32:21you can also use offsets above for
- 32:23profit or below if you've got a stock
- 32:25with a big spread which is fine but if
- 32:27you have a tighter spread stock you
- 32:28wouldn't want to do that probably
- 32:31stop the rest at average cost all right
- 32:33so stop it which is break even
- 32:36if it's a false breakout i'll still try
- 32:39to get out on the ask if i can but i'll
- 32:41hit the bid as a last resort
- 32:44okay so i went through that fairly
- 32:46quickly
- 32:47but let's go ahead and
- 32:50look at some live examples and see if
- 32:52this helps add a little bit more context
- 32:54to
- 32:56those
- 32:57those descriptions
- 32:58all right so
- 33:00hang on a second
- 33:08and by the way those just getting tuned
- 33:10in
- 33:10in case you didn't already know
- 33:13i am donating a dollar for every thumbs
- 33:16up we get during this video for
- 33:17humanitarian causes in ukraine and i'll
- 33:20be donating two dollars for every share
- 33:23that this uh video gets so i would love
- 33:25for you guys to
- 33:27share
- 33:28hit the thumbs up and share this
- 33:29broadcast
- 33:33all right so
- 33:34let's see
- 33:35okay so this is gonna be the first one
- 33:36we look at and so this is one of the
- 33:38live trading archives um
- 33:41one of the live trading archives that
- 33:42i've included in this um
- 33:46bundle of free downloads we're going to
- 33:48give you guys is
- 33:49from a day where i made a hundred and
- 33:52thirty-two thousand dollars
- 33:54so you can check that out that's a
- 33:56pretty cool one
- 33:57all right so let's look at this here
- 34:00all right so first we're gonna get
- 34:02oriented
- 34:03so
- 34:04let's look at our chart pattern
- 34:08okay so our chart pattern's right up
- 34:09here all right so
- 34:11we have a stock that has made a big move
- 34:13the ticker is abio the percentage gain
- 34:16on the day is 210
- 34:18percent okay this is a big percentage
- 34:21gain
- 34:23let's see um
- 34:25let me check the float on abio today is
- 34:2914 million shares on this particular day
- 34:31it may have been lower i'm not sure but
- 34:34in any case so
- 34:36we've got this move up it's about 10 30
- 34:38a.m we have a red candle at the top a
- 34:42second candle pullback this candle has
- 34:44formed what you'll notice is that i have
- 34:47already
- 34:48drawn a line at 12 51.
- 34:51note that 1251 1250 is psychological
- 34:54resistance because it's a half dollar if
- 34:57we look at the one minute chart you will
- 34:58see that it pulled back quickly
- 35:00came back up and was under 12.50
- 35:02couldn't break did one of those flash
- 35:04crash kind of drops came back up went
- 35:07sideways tried to break 1250 again
- 35:09couldn't do it came back down
- 35:11double bottom
- 35:13off of 1160.
- 35:15now if you're a dip trader you could
- 35:17certainly
- 35:18look for a double bottom off of 1160 as
- 35:20one of your entries that's an entry that
- 35:23i would consider to be
- 35:24riskier and since a lot of you are
- 35:26probably beginner traders and feel free
- 35:29to comment below with how long you've
- 35:31been trading which is out of curiosity
- 35:33since my guess is many of you are
- 35:35beginner traders i would say that dip
- 35:37trading is not the place to start while
- 35:39you might think well you get a better
- 35:41entry buying on a dip that's true but it
- 35:44requires a high degree of intuition
- 35:47about whether or not the stock is
- 35:49dipping and is going to keep going
- 35:50higher or has reversed and is going to
- 35:53keep going lower
- 35:54so that educated intuition takes a lot
- 35:56of experience so i would start by
- 35:58focusing on breakout trades breakout
- 36:01trades are where you're going to have
- 36:03high volume it's where you're going to
- 36:04have breakout or bailout instant
- 36:06resolution when they work they work
- 36:08right away when they don't work they
- 36:10don't work there's no guessing and
- 36:12you're not going to be too much in the
- 36:13habit of buying stocks or selling off
- 36:16so thanks for
- 36:18for chiming in there on how long you
- 36:19guys have been trading so a lot of you
- 36:21are fairly new so i would be very
- 36:22cautious about buying dips
- 36:25okay so um so on this one
- 36:28um
- 36:30let's see
- 36:31so this is our chart pattern so i'm
- 36:33gonna go ahead and press the play button
- 36:35uh and this
- 36:37do i maybe i'll
- 36:38so
- 36:40if you don't know what this window is
- 36:42this is a level two window i have other
- 36:44videos on how to read level two how to
- 36:47use level two so
- 36:49i have content around that if you're
- 36:50interested um
- 36:53this is our order entry window right
- 36:54here
- 36:56okay so this is my order entry window
- 36:58and i have this same setup for four
- 37:00different stocks one
- 37:02two
- 37:03three
- 37:04four
- 37:05and then i have the chart in focus for
- 37:07the one stock that i'm trading
- 37:09okay so in the case of this stock i
- 37:11already have an order prepared at 12.52
- 37:15that's the price for 2 000 shares
- 37:19and i have my mouse on the buy button i
- 37:22am ready to click the buy button and you
- 37:24see there's some green on the tape right
- 37:26there so when i'm talking about the tape
- 37:28this is what i'm talking about this
- 37:29section right here those are the
- 37:30transactions that are actually going
- 37:32through
- 37:33the market
- 37:35there's more green on the tape there at
- 37:3640.
- 37:40so the question on this is will i get in
- 37:43a little early to try to anticipate the
- 37:45break through 1250
- 37:54hands on there we go so hand was on the
- 37:56buy button right there
- 37:58now 2 000 shares as many of you know for
- 38:00me
- 38:01is a starter position
- 38:04so this is a trade where i took a
- 38:06starter position
- 38:08at
- 38:0912 20 and 12 25. now i didn't really
- 38:12care whether it was 20 or 25 my order
- 38:14was still 1252 but i clicked the buy
- 38:16button twice
- 38:17and in the same second i filled five
- 38:19cents apart
- 38:21my order's filled actually between the
- 38:23spread
- 38:24so
- 38:25this first entry
- 38:27is not one that is a beginner trader you
- 38:30would have had the confidence most
- 38:32likely to take
- 38:34your entry is going to be 12.50
- 38:37now you pay a higher price for
- 38:38confirmation
- 38:40but you avoid the risk of false breakout
- 38:43at least the fact like right here if
- 38:45this drops back down to 1160 you'd look
- 38:47back at the chart and you'd be like why
- 38:49did you even buy it you didn't get the
- 38:51first candle to make a new high
- 38:54so now up here
- 38:56i have added at 37 and
- 38:59so initial starter was at 20 now adding
- 39:02as we're approaching this breakout level
- 39:0612.50
- 39:09now we see on the level 2 a 15 000 share
- 39:12seller at 42.
- 39:16new order i've moved up to 1261.
- 39:22that seller is starting to get bought up
- 39:24see it went from 15 to 10 to 7
- 39:287 000 shares on the ask
- 39:32and then it pulls back again
- 39:38this is a chart that i would say is
- 39:40multi-time frame alignment
- 39:43that means both our one minute and our
- 39:45five minute are giving us the same
- 39:47message now there's a little bit of a
- 39:49red flag on the five minute chart
- 39:52and that is that the high a day volume
- 39:54uh
- 39:55the highest candle was a red doji which
- 39:57is a reversal indicator and it's on
- 40:00fairly high volume
- 40:02aside from that
- 40:03it's a pretty good five minute chart for
- 40:05a first candle to make a new high it's
- 40:07also just a little extended off its nine
- 40:09moving average which is this gray line
- 40:11so it's not perfect but it's pretty good
- 40:14the one minute is fine
- 40:17and the level that we need to see break
- 40:18is 12.50
- 40:22so that right there
- 40:26is what we look for that's called
- 40:28resolution
- 40:29that's the breakout now one of the
- 40:31problems is if you waited for the break
- 40:34of 1250 in this case
- 40:37you might have missed it
- 40:39right
- 40:41so i now have 10 000 shares at an
- 40:43average price of 12.32 and i'm up
- 40:463321 dollars so you can see my open p l
- 40:49right here
- 40:50and this is a up a spot right here where
- 40:53i could take half off the table if i
- 40:55wanted to
- 40:56alternatively i could add because we're
- 40:58still just opening up confirmation is
- 41:00just started and we still have a target
- 41:02of 13
- 41:04and i don't remember what i do so we'll
- 41:06we'll we'll both find out
- 41:08uh but let's just rewind that for like
- 41:10three seconds
- 41:13so where was the indicator this was
- 41:14gonna break well if you were looking at
- 41:16the chart
- 41:18for your indicator it happens you don't
- 41:21really see it on the chart it just
- 41:22breaks through this level so on the
- 41:24chart you would probably say well based
- 41:27on the chart pattern the the entry is
- 41:291251 but of course it'll break quickly
- 41:32because that's the apex point so i'll
- 41:34probably want to get in this around
- 41:36maybe 12 45 12 48 just a little bit
- 41:40under that level to catch that break
- 41:42through that level
- 41:44now let's just step back for one second
- 41:46and talk about traitor psychology
- 41:48so
- 41:49we want to think about the inverse
- 41:50position what if you were short this
- 41:52stock what if you shorted this stock
- 41:55maybe around 1240 one of the times it
- 41:58came up to 1250 and then reversed off
- 42:00that level because we know that there
- 42:01was psychological resistance at 12.50 so
- 42:04you're short at 12 40. it drops down to
- 42:0611 or 2 sorry 12 maybe you add short it
- 42:10flushes down to 1160 it looks like it's
- 42:12going to roll over and it's done you've
- 42:14got that red hi a day doji so makes
- 42:17sense
- 42:18but then it starts curling back up where
- 42:20do you cover that position
- 42:22well your stop is 1250 because that's
- 42:24the pivot
- 42:26but alternatively you're certainly
- 42:28covering it high of day which is 13. now
- 42:31of course some short short sellers would
- 42:33say i'm going to keep adding at 12 50
- 42:35and 13 and if it goes to 14 i'll add
- 42:37more if it goes to 15 i'll add more and
- 42:39if it goes to 25 i'll add more but
- 42:42that's also how those short sellers blow
- 42:44up accounts so everyone has to manage
- 42:46risk whether you're long or short so
- 42:481250 because that's a place where a
- 42:50short seller will likely cover you
- 42:53should see short covering to help propel
- 42:56the stock through that level
- 42:58that's what you want to see
- 43:00all right so at 12.50 at 12 45 12 46 12
- 43:0547 12 48 you're gonna have some short
- 43:07sellers who start to cover a little
- 43:09early so they don't get as much slippage
- 43:11on the breakout this is the exact same
- 43:14as what i do when i'm selling a stock at
- 43:171205 before catching the break of 12 and
- 43:20then slippage down to 1160 at the bottom
- 43:23of a bottoming tail
- 43:25right so it's anticipating what's going
- 43:27to happen
- 43:28so as a long trader you can capitalize
- 43:30on that by getting in as you're seeing
- 43:32green on the tape to anticipate the
- 43:34squeeze through that level
- 43:36you're also going to have some traders
- 43:38who use buy stop orders
- 43:40so a buy stop order is an order that
- 43:42will trigger when a stock crosses a
- 43:44certain price so that's that may be
- 43:46something that someone would use if
- 43:47they're taking more of a five-minute
- 43:49long trade probably with smaller share
- 43:51size for a longer hold time if they put
- 43:54that order at 1250 it's going to execute
- 43:57market long as soon as it breaks 1250 so
- 44:00let's go back to this
- 44:02example here so let's again reorient
- 44:05ourselves so we've got 1242 on the ask
- 44:08we've got green on the tape
- 44:10and right there all of a sudden look at
- 44:12this green now we're at 1250 and with
- 44:15all of that green it's going to propel
- 44:17it through this level and it's going to
- 44:19snap immediately to 76. 75 and i put the
- 44:23order out right there to take half off
- 44:25the table
- 44:27okay so i took half off the table
- 44:29selling into strength
- 44:32i'm going to be happy to add back to
- 44:34this position but first i'm taking
- 44:36profit off the table i'm protecting
- 44:37myself in the event that this becomes a
- 44:40false breakout
- 44:42where it goes you know 1266 and then
- 44:44immediately reverses
- 44:45so i'm you know
- 44:48you know taking a little profit off the
- 44:49table which is the right decision so
- 44:51sort of adding a little cushion
- 44:53and then the high was 1280.
- 44:56i've got another order here at 1266
- 44:59to sell the ask it's not selling
- 45:02this has to hold over what level well
- 45:05psychological resistance was 12.50 so it
- 45:07can come back and re-test 1250
- 45:10and if you're aggressive you could buy a
- 45:12dip off of 1250 or 1255 with a stop at
- 45:1512.48
- 45:17right because again you're setting your
- 45:18stop right underneath psychological
- 45:21support
- 45:22and this just came down and it held that
- 45:24level so now is it going to break
- 45:26through 1240 uh 1284 let's see
- 45:29so let's back this up again let's watch
- 45:31the whole thing
- 45:32all right so we're coming up we break
- 45:34through 12 7 12 50 we'll go 1270 1277
- 45:39and i take a little bit off the table at
- 45:4169.
- 45:43now we've got 12
- 45:4474 i put an order to sell half it
- 45:47doesn't fill
- 45:48and see how i place an order at the ask
- 45:50and then cancel it and place a new one
- 45:52if my order doesn't fill i'll i have to
- 45:53cancel and place a new one but i'd
- 45:55rather sell on the ask than selling the
- 45:57bid and look at that there we go
- 45:59okay now this
- 46:00in this instance
- 46:04look at that
- 46:05i just added at 1207. sorry 1307. now
- 46:08we're looking for a squeeze up to 13.50
- 46:11look at how fast that trade was
- 46:14let's back this up
- 46:17so this would have been a perfect
- 46:18example of a dip off of 1250 right down
- 46:21here 1253 1258 this would have been a
- 46:24great place to buy
- 46:26with a stop at 12 48.
- 46:28and and that's totally fine so this is
- 46:30what we would call right here
- 46:33this is a one minute micro pullback so
- 46:35on the five minute this is a five minute
- 46:37bull flag we have resolution and this on
- 46:40the one minute we would call the first
- 46:41pullback following the five minute
- 46:43breakout or we would call it a one
- 46:45minute micro pullback following a five
- 46:47minute breakout
- 46:48so we popped up
- 46:50i was already in from before but if you
- 46:52weren't already in
- 46:54right get in the mind of someone who's
- 46:55not already in if you're not already in
- 46:57where would you buy
- 46:59well you'd let it pull back and then
- 47:01you'd buy the break over this candle and
- 47:03your target would be a squeeze to the
- 47:05high what if you're still short what if
- 47:07you haven't covered yet where would you
- 47:09cover
- 47:10as it breaks through this level because
- 47:11you don't want to be holding as it
- 47:12squeezes through the high
- 47:14could go into a halt up
- 47:16all right so let's watch this again
- 47:18we'll back this up
- 47:20so the entry again on this one my entry
- 47:24was a little bit early
- 47:26on a sort of a dip
- 47:28so this wasn't the the best example for
- 47:30a beginner entry because i was i was
- 47:32adding it um 1225
- 47:34sort of mid-range with a stop just under
- 47:3612 dollars but then i added at 12 35 but
- 47:40right here as this comes up
- 47:43so you could have certainly
- 47:45added right here at 12 40.
- 47:48and does it break
- 47:49not quite okay that's okay so you still
- 47:52have your stop most likely at 12. when
- 47:54you get in a little higher you've got a
- 47:56bigger stop
- 47:59and then you watch for the second
- 48:00attempt
- 48:02so now it's coming
- 48:04let's see 35 46
- 48:0740 set 40 uh sorry 36 37 49
- 48:11and this is the place to be punching
- 48:13that buy button
- 48:16and now you could take a little off the
- 48:18table if you'd like
- 48:20or you could even keep adding right in
- 48:22here depending on how aggressive you
- 48:23want to be
- 48:25adding right there at 58 and 60 would be
- 48:27a great dip trade stop is at 48. now
- 48:30we're looking for the breakthrough 85.
- 48:32it breaks 85 goes right to 97. now we're
- 48:35looking for the pop through 13.
- 48:39there's 98 on the ask pops up there's
- 48:421308 there's 13 24. i got an exit 4 000
- 48:46shares at 13 24.
- 48:51okay so this is just one example
- 48:54now
- 48:55for reference um
- 48:57again this is
- 48:59this is what i do
- 49:00for members of warrior trading we've got
- 49:03any more examples i could possibly count
- 49:05our slide deck is over a thousand slides
- 49:09and it's all strategy development
- 49:11because there's more than one pattern
- 49:12this is just one pattern and this is one
- 49:14example of that pattern but i'll show
- 49:16you a couple more today all right so now
- 49:18let's look at um
- 49:21this one which is called let's see

- 50:10video is shared
- 50:13so right here this stock wahfu it's up
- 50:16349
- 50:19it just squeezed up through the volume
- 50:21weighted average price that's a
- 50:23technical indicator again if you're not
- 50:24familiar with those indicators i've got
- 50:26other videos where i talk about them so
- 50:28now we're on a one minute micro pullback
- 50:30following the break of v wap
- 50:32okay the high is looks like around 12 uh
- 50:3510 12 or so
- 50:38i'm holding uh 333 shares at the
- 50:41beginning of this video
- 50:44and watching hand is on the buy button
- 50:47so again getting oriented we've got our
- 50:49level two we've got some green on the
- 50:51tape order entries ready for 10 10 and
- 50:5330 cents share size 1500 shares hands on
- 50:57the buy button
- 51:05are we going to hold 10 psychological
- 51:07support actually looks like the high
- 51:09right here
- 51:10was a little a little higher maybe
- 51:13around 10 dollars and 20 cents
- 51:16and one of the things here is that this
- 51:18candle closed red so like let's look at
- 51:19our volume profile high volume green
- 51:22candles light volume red candle now
- 51:24we're looking for first candle to make a
- 51:26new high high volume
- 51:28so
- 51:29for those that are curious like what's
- 51:30the benefit of
- 51:32you know being a member of warrior
- 51:33trading one of the benefits is the live
- 51:36market commentary
- 51:38while i'm trading because i've been
- 51:40doing this for so long
- 51:43i can keep all of these things in my
- 51:45focus at the same time
- 51:47volume profile position relative to
- 51:50technical indicators position relative
- 51:52to high of day the candle of the high a
- 51:54day volume the daily chart this is a lot
- 51:57of stuff to keep organized at the same
- 51:58time and this moves quick so it really
- 52:01helps to have you know first base coach
- 52:03uh kind of saying this is what i'm
- 52:05looking at here and it's not just first
- 52:07base coach i mean i'm actually running
- 52:09around the basis here doing the trades
- 52:11okay so let's back that up so this was
- 52:14an entry exactly the first candle making
- 52:17new high
- 52:18see the green on the tape right here at
- 52:2014. boom boom that's where i'm pressing
- 52:23the buy button now i just bought as it
- 52:26squeezed up here
- 52:276 000 shares
- 52:29okay
- 52:30this candle has just started to make a
- 52:32new high
- 52:33and now we're looking for a squeeze
- 52:35through the high right there target is
- 52:3712.50 my cost basis is 10.14
- 52:42okay so let's watch this
- 52:45there's green and look at how fast that
- 52:48resolves up to 10.49
- 52:50now i will say that this doesn't have
- 52:52perfect multi-time frame alignment the
- 52:55five-minute charts not perfect the
- 52:57five-minute charts in fact a bit
- 52:58extended with this entry up here but
- 53:00this is a one minute pullback following
- 53:02a fresh break of v web and this is where
- 53:04short sellers will start to get squeezed
- 53:06out who were holding short for an
- 53:08all-day sell-off
- 53:10because now all of a sudden uh-oh this
- 53:12thing's back above v-wap and it's
- 53:13looking strong for a move up to 12 39
- 53:16so let's see how high it wants to go
- 53:19to manage risk i take a little off the
- 53:20table into that squeeze
- 53:23right so it took a little off the table
- 53:25there new order is ready to add back the
- 53:27high this candle is around
- 53:2810.60 added back right there at 10 55.
- 53:34i took profit and then i added back on
- 53:37that micro pullback at 10 55 now looking
- 53:39for 65 75 and 85
- 53:42the red to green is at 11
- 53:4511 right here is today's open
- 53:49so there's 75 now i'm holding 6000
- 53:51shares to 42 average and i just added
- 53:54right there for the breakthrough eleven
- 53:56taking a little profit off the table as
- 53:58we squeeze through the psychological
- 54:00resistance of eleven dollars
- 54:03now eleven is holding a support i may
- 54:05wanna consider buying a dip right here
- 54:08okay 11 broke
- 54:10still holding a 1052 average putting my
- 54:13order 1150
- 54:16and added right there 10.99 average 7
- 54:19000 shares long
- 54:20profit at 11.25
- 54:24look at how fast this is moving now
- 54:25these are bordering on quick breakout
- 54:28trades
- 54:29right around psychological levels of
- 54:31support and resistance bought the dip
- 54:33right there at 11 13
- 54:35so that was a dip trade it should break
- 54:37over 25 real quick
- 54:40we don't want to break below 11. and i
- 54:42stopped out there for a small loss as it
- 54:44came back down to 11.
- 54:47so you know again
- 54:49this is initially
- 54:51this was the first setup and within that
- 54:53i took three trades was it three or
- 54:55maybe four
- 54:56so the first trade was uh the first kill
- 54:59to make a new high
- 55:00and then i took profit at 55
- 55:02and then i added back at 55 with the
- 55:04squeeze up to 11
- 55:06and then it pulled back and then i added
- 55:07back around 11 whatever it was for the
- 55:09move up to
- 55:1211.50 so trading around half dollars
- 55:14whole dollars
- 55:16very aggressive
- 55:18that's the way i trade it you don't have
- 55:19to trade it that aggressive you could
- 55:20trade however you want you could say oh
- 55:22well i'm just going to buy this and i'm
- 55:24not going to sell it 11.50 i'm going to
- 55:26set my target at 12 19 and i'm going to
- 55:28let it work that's fine too
- 55:31a smaller position but a bigger move
- 55:34it's fine just different ways to
- 55:35approach trading
- 55:40so my exits are entirely with hot keys
- 55:44by pressing the buttons
- 55:47little pause there that looks like
- 55:49possibly a little order a little um
- 55:51internet latency
- 55:53it's very unlikely that the level two
- 55:56actually paused
- 56:04let's see
- 56:06so this is where i got in
- 56:09there you go look at that wow
- 56:14that right there was a clean trade let's
- 56:17back that one up
- 56:19so the first dip didn't work the second
- 56:20one did
- 56:24so bought the dip at 11 13
- 56:26stop is 11
- 56:28now that's the same thing i did before
- 56:30remember i stopped at 1101 so i lost
- 56:32like 900 bucks but i got back in i tried
- 56:34it again
- 56:36alternatively where could you wait to
- 56:38add well let's look at the clock i
- 56:40haven't even mentioned this yet the
- 56:42clock we've got our clock right up here
- 56:45it's showing 10 22 and 40 seconds
- 56:48how many seconds do we have left on this
- 56:51one minute candle we've got 20 seconds
- 56:53left of course 60 seconds in a minute
- 56:55so what we're looking at here is first
- 56:58candle to make
- 57:00a new high
- 57:02all right now our high was 11.50 and my
- 57:06suspicion here is that this is going to
- 57:08break look at that now this candle is
- 57:10turning green
- 57:12now we've got 35 this is a micro
- 57:14pullback and i'm adding right here
- 57:18at 44 for the breakthrough psychological
- 57:20resistance
- 57:22even if you only add there that's fine
- 57:24as your first trade you get in at 11 44
- 57:27for the break of 11 45 11 sorry 11 50.
- 57:30and watch 11 50 hit pause for a second
- 57:33then that's 11.72
- 57:35now you want to go real aggressive
- 57:37add here at
- 57:3811.75 why not you've got an average of
- 57:4111 21
- 57:43do it
- 57:45or take profit either way
- 57:47right if you're aggressive you're going
- 57:49to add and sometimes i will and
- 57:51sometimes i won't in that case i sold it
- 57:531181 and that was most likely a hotkey
- 57:56mistake i probably meant to sell half
- 57:58and i accidentally sold the whole thing
- 58:01and sometimes that happens with hotkeys
- 58:03you know you've got a whole set of
- 58:05hotkeys on your keyboard and in an
- 58:07instance you press one and then oops uh
- 58:09oh
- 58:10i pressed the wrong one and on that
- 58:12trade with nine thousand shares i left
- 58:1340 cents on the table four thousand
- 58:15bucks
- 58:16just about
- 58:18so now we're coming up to 11 26
- 58:20and i realized oh shoot i fill up see my
- 58:23mouse is over here
- 58:24at this and i'm realizing i filled at
- 58:261181 that's not a good fill
- 58:28but oh well
- 58:31so now watching 1126 the halt level
- 58:34what the hell level moves up
- 58:36there we go there's 11 sorry there's a
- 58:381252
- 58:41now
- 58:42pulling out the chart a little bit more
- 58:44recognizing of course we had that
- 58:45earlier high near 16 dollars
- 58:50so this ended up being a really epic
- 58:53one-minute pullback following a break of
- 58:55v-wap
- 58:56and i i very actively traded it i got in
- 58:59i got out i got in i got out in fact
- 59:02what i have done better if i just took
- 59:04the trade and held you know for the
- 59:06whole move sure but in this case it went
- 59:08to a high of 1150 and then it dropped to
- 59:1010.75 that's a 75 pullback i went from
- 59:14being up a dollar a share to being up
- 59:16only like 25 cents
- 59:19right you know that's not that's not
- 59:20great
- 59:22so
- 59:23what'd this do um
- 59:25was that the end of the video
- 59:27yeah i guess that was the end of the
- 59:28video but that's fine
- 59:30all right so uh i got another one
- 59:33hey by the way if you guys enjoy these
- 59:36kind of videos if this is helpful for
- 59:37you
- 59:38this is how i teach for students that
- 59:40are over at warrior trading
- 59:42generally the classes are
- 59:45uh they're they're uh a combination of
- 59:48going in and out of a slide deck where
- 59:51i've got a ton of examples
- 59:55all right so like this for instance so
- 59:57i'm going in and out of this slide deck
- 59:59where i've got all of these examples
- 1:00:01this is a slide deck that's like a
- 1:00:02thousand slides long
- 1:00:05all right so down here and then we go
- 1:00:07into the live trading archives
- 1:00:10so one of the goals that i've had for
- 1:00:13the way i teach
- 1:00:15is that i try
- 1:00:17to connect the dots so there's a clear
- 1:00:19path in the strategy
- 1:00:22like
- 1:00:23sort of the description of what trading
- 1:00:25is and what i tr what i trade so i could
- 1:00:27have just said okay guys
- 1:00:29entries and exits buy the first candle
- 1:00:31to make a new high
- 1:00:33and then take profit as it goes higher
- 1:00:35video is over
- 1:00:36hit the thumbs up and that would have
- 1:00:38been a less than a minute long video
- 1:00:40because simply that's what it is and
- 1:00:41that's what a lot of educators do they
- 1:00:43just give you the general generally
- 1:00:44speaking this is what it is and then
- 1:00:46they'll show you maybe one or two of
- 1:00:47their trades like this is what it looks
- 1:00:48like you buy here and you sell there
- 1:00:51done
- 1:00:52okay what i wanted to do because the
- 1:00:54feedback that i got from a lot of our
- 1:00:56students early on was that i just took a
- 1:00:58class with so and so and the problem is
- 1:01:01talked a lot about their trading showed
- 1:01:04a lot of patterns and that
- 1:01:06but there was this huge gap
- 1:01:09between all of that and
- 1:01:11like the actual execution
- 1:01:13like how do i actually execute that
- 1:01:15strategy how do i find those stocks in
- 1:01:16real time
- 1:01:18where do i actually press the buy button
- 1:01:20and sell button
- 1:01:21and so they finish those classes feeling
- 1:01:22like i'm i'm lost and i don't want um i
- 1:01:27don't want you to feel that way as
- 1:01:28always my legal disclaimer is that i
- 1:01:31can't guarantee that you're going to
- 1:01:32find success
- 1:01:33and trading is risky my results are not
- 1:01:35typical but i've made a real effort to
- 1:01:37make this educational experience
- 1:01:40as thorough as possible
- 1:01:43okay so let's see so we got that one um
- 1:01:46so we've got a we've got another one
- 1:01:47here um
- 1:01:49this one also a little bit more active
- 1:01:51trading
- 1:01:57thank you guys who have hit the thumbs
- 1:01:58up i appreciate it and of course um
- 1:02:01you are
- 1:02:03making a donation here so
- 1:02:06okay
- 1:02:07all right so let's back this one up this
- 1:02:09is a quick video so
- 1:02:11here we go very similar pattern that we
- 1:02:14just saw um a moment ago right i mean
- 1:02:17this is the same pattern that you see
- 1:02:19right here right so we're looking at
- 1:02:21first candle make a new high we've got
- 1:02:22three three four green candles a couple
- 1:02:24candles of pullback first candle to make
- 1:02:26a new high
- 1:02:28okay so what do we have here up on the
- 1:02:30screen we've got four green candles two
- 1:02:33red candles first kale to make a new
- 1:02:35high so i'm a buyer at 16 18. this is a
- 1:02:39cannabis stock
- 1:02:42so just added a thou two thousand shares
- 1:02:44there at sixteen dollars and nineteen
- 1:02:47cents okay so that's my that's my entry
- 1:02:51now this is already starting to resolve
- 1:02:53the high of this candle right what's our
- 1:02:56profit target our high is just under 17.
- 1:02:59daily chart it is below the 200. not
- 1:03:02great but it has a lot of room up to the
- 1:03:04200.
- 1:03:06so it's it's still worth trading
- 1:03:09okay so there's 16.38
- 1:03:12now you'll notice on this one
- 1:03:14a little bit stacked up see how there's
- 1:03:17a big stack of sellers at 39.
- 1:03:19see that wall
- 1:03:22you can see that on the level two
- 1:03:24there's 40 there's 47 there's 50 there's
- 1:03:2660. i took a little off the table there
- 1:03:28into strength
- 1:03:33so this was basically of and then
- 1:03:35there's a 10 000 share bid that's good
- 1:03:36to see so this is a fairly simple first
- 1:03:39candle to make a new high
- 1:03:40now the ad back that got a little more
- 1:03:43aggressive okay so let's rewind this
- 1:03:44let's do it again
- 1:03:46so why did i buy here at 16.18 cents
- 1:03:50it's the first candle to make a new high
- 1:03:52what's my max loss technically the low
- 1:03:54of that candle 1570 ish
- 1:03:56but i'd rather set the stop tighter at
- 1:03:58around 16
- 1:04:00so stop is 16 which means on this trade
- 1:04:02i'm risking 400 bucks
- 1:04:04i'm in it just under
- 1:04:0616 19 16 20.
- 1:04:10so right here i'm up 200 bucks
- 1:04:13which is okay because that's a
- 1:04:14one-to-one risk to reward ratio
- 1:04:19so there we're coming up to 50 so i'm up
- 1:04:21632 on this trade
- 1:04:24so we've got 1650 on the ask there we
- 1:04:27break it i add 1650. why psychological
- 1:04:31resistance i add for the break through
- 1:04:33that level scott no i don't get out with
- 1:04:36market orders
- 1:04:37i always say if i always try selling the
- 1:04:40ask that's a that's a limit order
- 1:04:42because i'm choosing the limit price
- 1:04:43with my hotkey if i have to hit the bid
- 1:04:46that would be a marketable limit order
- 1:04:49but just a marketable limit order
- 1:04:53all right so now my average is 1624. i
- 1:04:56added a thousand shares
- 1:04:58and as soon as it comes up to that level
- 1:05:00i put an order to sell half
- 1:05:02at 16.59
- 1:05:04all right so that's a one cent offset
- 1:05:06below the ask
- 1:05:07i take a little more profit scaled down
- 1:05:09to just 375 shares
- 1:05:11so about 800 of profit and then look at
- 1:05:14this
- 1:05:15the level two
- 1:05:18let's see let's back that up one second
- 1:05:22see that 10 000 share order right there
- 1:05:25i saw that bid flash up and i thought
- 1:05:28you know what i should do
- 1:05:30i should buy
- 1:05:32why
- 1:05:33because if i buy here at 1654
- 1:05:365000 shares i can always turn around and
- 1:05:38sell to 1648
- 1:05:41the 10 000 share buyer so i'm really
- 1:05:43only risking a couple cents
- 1:05:45so i add back right there 2000 shares
- 1:05:48average is 51 and there's 1680 on the
- 1:05:51ask up another 400
- 1:05:54so that trade was based almost entirely
- 1:05:58on level two
- 1:06:00on the chart
- 1:06:01of course i knew we were on a breakout
- 1:06:04maybe a little bit of a dip trade but
- 1:06:05really it was a level two based entry
- 1:06:08taking a little off the table there at
- 1:06:1083.84 new order goes at 17.
- 1:06:13now can i buy here
- 1:06:151695
- 1:06:1797 for the breakthrough 17.
- 1:06:20let's watch
- 1:06:21if we see green on the tape now we're
- 1:06:23seeing a little red so it's pulling back
- 1:06:25a little bit
- 1:06:28still holding 594 shares at 16.50 it
- 1:06:32flashes down
- 1:06:34which is not super pretty
- 1:06:36so i glance over at the one minute chart
- 1:06:38and it's okay i mean it broke out it's
- 1:06:41not perfect
- 1:06:44now we're back down to 1643
- 1:06:48and looks like that was the end of the
- 1:06:49video okay so i don't know how much
- 1:06:51where it goes from there so i might have
- 1:06:52lost on the last 600 shares didn't break
- 1:06:54through 17.
- 1:06:57all right i have
- 1:06:59do you guys want to see one more example
- 1:07:00or two more examples
- 1:07:05let's see
- 1:07:09you tell me
- 1:07:23okay
- 1:07:26all right so live trading itc
- 1:07:29all right so let's watch this one
- 1:07:31all right so this one
- 1:07:34um
- 1:07:35two more examples all right we'll do two
- 1:07:37more examples okay
- 1:07:38so
- 1:07:39this one here
- 1:07:42a little bit of a this is a little
- 1:07:44tricky
- 1:07:45okay so on this one i was using my small
- 1:07:47account i was doing a small account
- 1:07:49challenge
- 1:07:53so
- 1:07:54the pivot on this
- 1:07:56chart is this level right here
- 1:07:59the break of that level and then that
- 1:08:01sends us higher up towards our previous
- 1:08:04high a day which is around 29.
- 1:08:12so we've got a little bit of double top
- 1:08:14risk here
- 1:08:19and the high that candle was just under
- 1:08:2027.
- 1:08:22the low
- 1:08:23big range
- 1:08:26if it can hold this level then you're
- 1:08:28looking for a squeeze back up to the
- 1:08:30high
- 1:08:36now we're looking for a micro pullback
- 1:08:38right in this area
- 1:08:41and then the first candle to make a new
- 1:08:42high through 27.
- 1:08:57so let's move this a little bit further
- 1:08:59forward so we're pulling back
- 1:09:06and let's watch this
- 1:09:09now we're coming back up a little bit
- 1:09:11more so see that first candle just made
- 1:09:13a new high right there
- 1:09:15so
- 1:09:16you could have bought that first candle
- 1:09:17to make a new high this is a small
- 1:09:19account challenge so i wanted to wait
- 1:09:20for confirmation and take a quick trade
- 1:09:22through the highs so the entry is going
- 1:09:25to be a little closer to 27. i need more
- 1:09:27confirmation to trust it
- 1:09:30paying a higher price for that the
- 1:09:32winner will probably be a little smaller
- 1:09:34but i'm okay with that
- 1:09:37so moving my order here up to 26.90 100
- 1:09:40shares 27 100 shares
- 1:09:43and right here as we're seeing green i'm
- 1:09:45adding 300 shares at 26.78 for the break
- 1:09:48of 27.
- 1:09:53so looking for 85 and then 95
- 1:09:56a break of 27
- 1:09:58psychological resistance
- 1:10:00okay so up there 27 we had a little bit
- 1:10:02of a seller
- 1:10:0310 000 shares
- 1:10:06and it broke right through no problem
- 1:10:08no problem
- 1:10:11okay now if you want to be aggressive
- 1:10:14you could add at 27.25
- 1:10:16for the squeeze up to 27.50
- 1:10:21new stop 26.99 20 or 27.05 set the stop
- 1:10:25just above this level
- 1:10:27depending on how you want to trade it
- 1:10:34so now we're looking for 27.50
- 1:10:38and then a squeeze up towards 28.
- 1:10:42new orders at 27 uh 50.
- 1:10:49adding there at 40 to anticipate the
- 1:10:51breakthrough 50. there's 60 there's 70.
- 1:10:55now right into that squeeze it might not
- 1:10:57have been a bad idea to take half off
- 1:10:59the table i'm up almost a dollar a share
- 1:11:02there's 77
- 1:11:04it's stalling out just a little bit
- 1:11:06there's 80 there's 90.
- 1:11:08can we break 28 on the break of 28 i
- 1:11:11should probably take a little off the
- 1:11:12table
- 1:11:17up over a dollar a share
- 1:11:19so see i should have taken profit there
- 1:11:22because it hit 28 it pulled back now 50
- 1:11:24cents 27.50
- 1:11:26and this is where you could start to
- 1:11:28feel like a little bit of weakness
- 1:11:31but
- 1:11:32i added aggressively
- 1:11:34and looking for the squeeze through 28
- 1:11:36and my guess is that as soon as it
- 1:11:38breaks 28 i'll take it all off the table
- 1:11:40right there yep
- 1:11:42so took it all off the table for 532
- 1:11:44dollars a profit so that was a small
- 1:11:46account challenge
- 1:11:49so that one's not maybe as exciting of a
- 1:11:51trade but
- 1:11:52a good trade and now let's look at um
- 1:11:55one last one here
- 1:12:09okay
- 1:12:11so this is pixie the setup is sort of
- 1:12:13similar to
- 1:12:15the one we looked at earlier on waffu i
- 1:12:17think it was which was a break over the
- 1:12:19volume weight average price
- 1:12:23so this hit a high of 12.50 it came up
- 1:12:26to the v-wap over it and then it's back
- 1:12:28below it
- 1:12:30the high of day is around 1494. so
- 1:12:33psychological target up around 1494.
- 1:12:40putting my order at 1253 for 1500 shares
- 1:12:43it's ready to go
- 1:12:48so that was the first candle to make a
- 1:12:50new high right there that was the spot
- 1:12:52where i could have taken an entry
- 1:12:55i didn't
- 1:12:57i added a little higher uh well wait a
- 1:13:00second
- 1:13:00[Music]
- 1:13:02um oh i'm focusing it looks like on a
- 1:13:05different stock at this moment all right
- 1:13:06so let me go a little further forward
- 1:13:11all right let me back this up
- 1:13:13all right so we've got a double top
- 1:13:14around 1250
- 1:13:17so now i've added there at 12 45 for the
- 1:13:20break of 1250
- 1:13:21looking for the squeeze up to 13.
- 1:13:25there's 69
- 1:13:2930 on the bid
- 1:13:3277 on the ask
- 1:13:36this one you can see has a tendency of
- 1:13:39popping and then having these
- 1:13:41topping tails
- 1:13:48this is a little bit of churn here
- 1:13:49there's more red on the time and sales
- 1:13:51than i'd really like
- 1:13:58so now we're on a one-minute pullback
- 1:13:59under 13.
- 1:14:01new orders at 13
- 1:14:04halt levels 1335.
- 1:14:07and there you go there's 13 20.
- 1:14:12took some off the table at 13 18.
- 1:14:20and there's back to 13. so you know the
- 1:14:22question is how high does this one end
- 1:14:24up going does it does it sort of squeeze
- 1:14:26all the way back up to the high
- 1:14:28the video's not too much longer so i'm
- 1:14:30not sure how much higher it goes
- 1:14:34high was about 13.50 there's 13 53.
- 1:14:38you can see on this one a decent amount
- 1:14:40of red going through the tape and that
- 1:14:41that's something definitely to be
- 1:14:43mindful of if you're seeing that not
- 1:14:45sure why but you know it seems to be the
- 1:14:47case and that's probably an issue
- 1:14:58all right so let me back out of this
- 1:15:00again um i want to put this back up for
- 1:15:02those of you guys that want to keep
- 1:15:03learning i encourage you definitely to

- 1:15:24pre-trading checklist and a video on
- 1:15:26holding losers too long
- 1:15:28what i think i'll do here
- 1:15:30[Music]
- 1:15:31is maybe just
- 1:15:33a couple minutes of q a and answer
- 1:15:36questions that
- 1:15:37a few of you had and then
- 1:15:40i will uh end the broadcast and
- 1:15:42we'll see you guys first thing tomorrow
- 1:15:44morning for the morning show around uh 8
- 1:15:4645
- 1:15:47for those who are tuning in maybe just
- 1:15:48for the first time for this video i do
- 1:15:51the morning show
- 1:15:52every day around uh 8 30 9 o'clock i go
- 1:15:55live and then i give you my watch list
- 1:15:58for the day
- 1:16:00so what simulators are quick with orders
- 1:16:02yeah so that's that's a great one
- 1:16:04because i definitely encourage you to
- 1:16:05trade the simulator before you put real
- 1:16:06money on the line a td ameritrade
- 1:16:09simulator isn't as fast as the type of
- 1:16:11trading you were just seeing um really
- 1:16:13not even not even close
- 1:16:16so
- 1:16:17you've got a couple different options
- 1:16:20interactive brokers i think has a
- 1:16:21simulator
- 1:16:22but i think you have to have an account
- 1:16:24there so that would cost you somebody
- 1:16:26set up the account you can sign up for
- 1:16:28paid simulators they have a simulator
- 1:16:32sterling has simulators das trader has
- 1:16:34simulators but you have to pay for the
- 1:16:35real-time market data it's like 100 and
- 1:16:37some some of them are 150 175 a month
- 1:16:41so they're not super cheap which is kind
- 1:16:43of a pain
- 1:16:45for what it's worth
- 1:16:47for our
- 1:16:49pro members we do include
- 1:16:51access to the sterling simulator which
- 1:16:54would cost you probably about a hundred
- 1:16:56dollars a month to subscribe to on your
- 1:16:58own so that is included in your
- 1:16:59membership
- 1:17:01but you could also go subscribe on your
- 1:17:02own if you prefer
- 1:17:08how does your broker benefit from giving
- 1:17:10you margin so
- 1:17:12your broker benefits from more shares
- 1:17:14that you trade because some brokers will
- 1:17:18sell order flow so the more shares of
- 1:17:20orders that are being sold the more
- 1:17:22money they'll make
- 1:17:24brokers that are not selling order flow
- 1:17:25still get better negotiating ability by
- 1:17:28the amount of volume that their their
- 1:17:31firm is
- 1:17:33is trading so
- 1:17:35it's to their incentive to let you trade
- 1:17:37more aggressively
- 1:17:42so what exactly i look for in level two
- 1:17:44beyond the big uh the big orders i would
- 1:17:47say it's
- 1:17:49so someone asked me this earlier um
- 1:17:52about the spread uh you know one cent
- 1:17:54spread is not necessarily a good thing
- 1:17:56if you've got a really really tight
- 1:17:58spread then you know that's telling me
- 1:18:00that you've got a stock that is pretty
- 1:18:03thickly traded might have a higher float
- 1:18:05may not make as big of a move so a
- 1:18:07spread of three to five cents or five to
- 1:18:09ten is totally fine
- 1:18:11that's not a big deal
- 1:18:13i can look at the level two to see how
- 1:18:14stacked up the orders are going
- 1:18:16down on the bit or up on the ask
- 1:18:19and i can look at the tape and the tape
- 1:18:21is what i look at probably the most
- 1:18:23closely because i want to see
- 1:18:25is this moving quickly is it moving up
- 1:18:27quickly are there a lot of orders going
- 1:18:29through in green because that means
- 1:18:30there's other people stepping up to the
- 1:18:31plate and buying this thing and if
- 1:18:33there's other people buying and it's
- 1:18:34moving quickly that's where i want to be
- 1:18:36buying too
- 1:18:39so i don't use a cash account i do use a
- 1:18:41margin account in my retirement account
- 1:18:44i don't have leverage but it's still a
- 1:18:46margin account so i can trade very
- 1:18:48aggressively if i'd like to
- 1:18:53um when trading my small account
- 1:18:55challenge how's the um
- 1:18:57psychology differ from when i'm trading
- 1:18:59on my normal account so when i'm trading
- 1:19:01on a small account i naturally feel more
- 1:19:03pressure because i know that one mistake
- 1:19:06could blow up the account right so that
- 1:19:09means i'm going to be a little bit more
- 1:19:11cautious about my entries i'm going to
- 1:19:13trade less i'm going to focus on one
- 1:19:15trade a day and i'm going to take as big
- 1:19:17of a position as i can on that trade but
- 1:19:19i'm only going to take one trade a day
- 1:19:20and i'm going gonna focus on the best
- 1:19:21quality setups so by taking one trade a
- 1:19:24day if i can afford to buy a thousand
- 1:19:26shares of a three dollar stock that
- 1:19:28would be three thousand dollars in the
- 1:19:29trade and it goes up 20 cents that's a
- 1:19:32200 winner that's a that's a great trade
- 1:19:34if it goes up 30 cents it's a 300 winner
- 1:19:36that's 10 percent
- 1:19:38one trade
- 1:19:39in and out that's it and then do it
- 1:19:41again tomorrow rinse and repeat one
- 1:19:42trade a day rinse and repeat again and
- 1:19:44again again until the account grows and
- 1:19:46if i have a loss i have a loss
- 1:19:49i'm going to because i'm focusing on the
- 1:19:51best quality setups my losses should be
- 1:19:54um
- 1:19:55smaller in percentage i'll have a higher
- 1:19:57accuracy but it's not possible i could
- 1:19:59take a 20 or 30 cent loss and be down
- 1:20:00300. so the account be down 10 percent
- 1:20:03one day but by continuing that strategy
- 1:20:05as long as i'm maintaining 75 to 80
- 1:20:08out of 10 trades with a one-to-one ratio
- 1:20:11i'm going to be profitable
- 1:20:13anything over 50 is profitability in
- 1:20:15terms of accuracy
- 1:20:22let's see um so you know beginner trader
- 1:20:25you could certainly set up a cash
- 1:20:26account they're easy to set up you could
- 1:20:27set up a cash account with td ameritrade
- 1:20:29you could trade half the balance every
- 1:20:31other day but there's pressure on that
- 1:20:33also that you just feel like you can
- 1:20:36only take one trade a day because of
- 1:20:39margin because or because you'll run out
- 1:20:41of buying power because buying power and
- 1:20:43then if you don't take it then you feel
- 1:20:45like oh man i didn't take the one trade
- 1:20:47i should have
- 1:20:48so
- 1:20:49i found trading with a cash account even
- 1:20:51more stressful than trading with a small
- 1:20:53margin account
- 1:20:58what do i mean sell the ask and not the
- 1:20:59bid so
- 1:21:00of course you can a market order is
- 1:21:02going to sell at the bid it's just a
- 1:21:04marketable order to sell at the bid
- 1:21:08and it's going to be a red order that
- 1:21:09goes through on the tape if you sell at
- 1:21:11the ask you're putting an order at the
- 1:21:13ask and you have to wait for someone to
- 1:21:14buy the shares from you and when they
- 1:21:16buy the shares the transaction will be
- 1:21:18green on the tape
- 1:21:20right so if you're holding a position my
- 1:21:22opinion is that i want to scale out
- 1:21:24slowly on the ask to get the best price
- 1:21:27and because i'm still holding a core
- 1:21:29position i don't want to hit the bid and
- 1:21:31have a red order go through because that
- 1:21:33increases
- 1:21:34bearish sentiment and i don't want to
- 1:21:36increase any bearish sentiment when i'm
- 1:21:38still holding a position i want to keep
- 1:21:40going up right so i just want to scale
- 1:21:42out slowly on the ask
- 1:21:46so those who have more questions what i
- 1:21:48encourage you to do is leave them down
- 1:21:50in the comments i can come back through
- 1:21:51and answer them later today i'll come
- 1:21:53back and continue answering questions as
- 1:21:55always they're posted on the youtube

- 1:22:06that i'm happy to try to be as clear as
- 1:22:09possible if i know some questions coming
- 1:22:10up i can articulate um you know very
- 1:22:13specific things relative to this video
- 1:22:15on entries and exits i'll try to be
- 1:22:17extra mindful of that tomorrow
- 1:22:19all right so thank you so much for
- 1:22:21tuning in i hope you've enjoyed this
- 1:22:22episode this has been a little on the
- 1:22:24longer side but i hope it's been
- 1:22:26beneficial i hope you feel like you've
- 1:22:27learned a lot i want to remind you as
- 1:22:29always that trading is
- 1:22:31risky most beginner traders lose money
- 1:22:33and my results are not typical so i
- 1:22:35encourage you to take it slow and trade
- 1:22:38in a simulator before you put real money
- 1:22:41on the line do yourself that favor i
- 1:22:42didn't do it and i wish i had so really
- 1:22:44take it slow train a simulator before
- 1:22:46you put real money on the line don't try
- 1:22:48to blindly follow me or anyone else
- 1:22:50all right thank you for tuning in thank
- 1:22:52you for hitting the thumbs up we'll be
- 1:22:53doing some donations so i'm excited
