In this video, I compare trading stocks to trading options and explain why I primarily choose options. I demonstrate how trading options requires less capital and smaller price movements to achieve the same profit as trading stocks. Using Tesla as an example, I calculate the substantial capital needed and the price movement required to make $1,000 with stocks. I then illustrate how options offer the same profit potential with significantly less capital and movement, sharing a real trade where I earned $1,000 in just 19 seconds using options. I emphasize the importance of proper education when trading options due to their inherent risks. Additionally, I discuss how options trading can be accessible even for those with smaller account sizes by choosing different strike prices. For those interested in learning more, I offer a free class on the basics of day trading options.

In this video, I demonstrate a method to determine whether a trader is using real money or engaging in paper trading. I address an accusation that my trading is fake and provide technical evidence from my trading platform to refute this claim. By examining the 'contra' or 'route' column, specifically the absence of the word 'demo', we can verify the authenticity of trades. I chow different trading platforms display order routing information and why this is crucial for validating real trading activity. I also discuss the importance of not judging a trader's success based on superficial appearances. My goal is to educate viewers on how to critically assess trading videos and identify genuine trading practices.

I discuss the bull flag technical pattern, a crucial tool for beginners in technical analysis and charting. This pattern allows us to identify momentum and strength in a stock's movement, providing a logical framework for entering trades. Using IONQ as an example, I illustrate how the bull flag pattern is formed through the pole (sustained upward movement) and the flag (downward pullback). We explore ways to trade this pattern, either by buying at the lower trendline or waiting for a breakout. By understanding the components of the bull flag, we can position ourselves in scenarios where momentum is likely to continue. This approach helps avoid the pitfalls of buying at the top and enhances our trading confidence.

In this video, I analyze a recent situation involving the stock DJT, which presented a "gap and trap" pattern. Before the market opened, I alerted my community to the potential risks, emphasizing caution. We examine the stock's price action, discuss the importance of being part of an experienced trading community, and highlight the dangers of holding onto losing positions in the hope of recovery. By dissecting this real-world example, we reinforce critical trading principles and risk management strategies.

In this video, I address the impact of election results on trading strategies and the importance of personal accountability in trading success. Regardless of political outcomes, the essential factors influencing trading performance are individual risk management, strategy, and effort. Drawing from over two decades of trading experience and coaching traders since 2013, I emphasize that market fluctuations are constants, and successful trading depends on the person in the mirror.

In this video, I explore the emergence of the Texas Stock Exchange and its potential impact on the financial markets. The Texas Stock Exchange, announced in June 2023, plans to register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, backed by BlackRock. Notable figures such as Rick Perry, former governor of Texas and U.S. Energy Secretary, and Rick Roberts, a former SEC commissioner, have joined its board of directors. The exchange has also attracted staff from Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange.

We examine the exchange's progress toward a potential 2025 launch, including its secured funding of $135 million. I question whether this amount is sufficient to compete with established platforms like the NYSE, considering their vast resources and market presence. We discuss the implications of increased competition among stock exchanges and how it might benefit market participants by providing more choices and fostering innovation.

Furthermore, I reflect on the possibility that the NYSE's consideration of extending trading hours to 22 hours a day could be a strategic response to the new Texas Stock Exchange. I encourage you to share your thoughts on this development and its potential effects on traders, investors, and the broader market.

In this video, I provide an in-depth look into the technical details of our trading chatroom and the features that make it a valuable tool for traders. Using Discord as our primary platform, I explain how this community is structured, focusing on the benefits of sharing trade insights, observing price movements, and analyzing technical indicators. This chatroom offers a unique, interactive approach for traders who prioritize technical analysis, with the ability to post and comment on images, set alerts, and monitor key trends.

The example shared here highlights the power of having multiple perspectives when assessing potential setups, as I demonstrate with a real-time trendline analysis. This setup illustrates how price action plays out around trendlines and how real-time chatroom discussions can uncover critical entry points that one person alone might miss. Our community of technical traders utilizes candlestick patterns, moving averages, and chart setups, ensuring that you’re surrounded by others who share a similar trading style and mindset.

If you're new to technical trading or simply interested in learning more about our setup, you’ll find a behind-the-scenes tour linked in the description, which walks you through each feature in greater detail.

In this video, I examine a real-life scenario highlighting the consequences of entering day trading without proper education and preparation. A novice trader, despite initially seeking advice, hastily entered the market and suffered a $2,500 loss within days, leading to personal distress and potential marital strain. I underscore the importance of building a solid foundation through structured educational programs rather than relying solely on free online resources. By analyzing this situation, we understand the critical need for proper preparation and the adoption of the correct mindset to mitigate financial risks in trading. I encourage traders to pause, seek comprehensive guidance, and ensure they are adequately prepared before engaging with the markets to avoid similar pitfalls.

In this video, I discuss the New York Stock Exchange's recent announcement to extend trading hours to 22 hours a day. We examine the technical details of this change, including the new extended trading times from 1:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Eastern on weekdays. I analyze the potential impact on trading strategies, particularly concerning market volume and liquidity during these extended hours. We also explore how this shift might affect global traders and the possible responses from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Your insights are valuable, so I encourage you to share your thoughts on how this development could influence your trading approach.

In this video, we explore how day trading groups can enhance profitability when certain conditions are met. We discuss the importance of being part of a trading community with trustworthy and knowledgeable members. I share a recent real-life example where input from another trader in my group helped me avoid a losing trade, demonstrating the value of multiple perspectives. We emphasize the necessity of having our own trading strategies and the ability to think independently while leveraging the insights of a community. I outline key stipulations to consider when choosing a trading group, such as ensuring the presence of quality traders and avoiding blind reliance on others. We conclude by highlighting the benefits of being part of a trading community to improve trading success.

In this video, I address a common but flawed trading strategy that many traders believe is effective. This approach involves seeking out stocks before they experience significant upward movements, often relying on tips from others. I explain why this method is unrealistic and unsustainable, emphasizing that it can lead to wasted time and vulnerability to scams. Instead, I highlight the critical importance of focusing on stocks with high volume and volatility, which are essential indicators for quality trade setups. By examining examples like the ticker symbol DRUG, I demonstrate how stocks that have already made substantial moves can still offer valuable trading opportunities due to their ongoing volume and volatility. I also discuss the risks associated with low-volume stocks, such as difficulty in exiting positions. My goal is to shift the trading mindset from attempting to predict explosive stock movements to adopting a strategy based on tangible market indicators that provide real potential for profit.
