These videos reinforce my DNA training, better watching SMB KZbin than Netflix on a Friday night, applying from Atomic Habits, watch at least one video a day 7 days a week by SMB, a small change like this has a massive impact on your results over 3-6 months, thank you to SMB helping us becoming better traders and following a proven process that fits with our personal qualities and strengths, one good trade, one good trade and so on 🙏👍

I started doing a playbook of trades late last year after seeing one of your videos, and it has been a tremendous help. However, after viewing this particular video, I realized I still was not detailed enough. Now that I have this new insight, I am more determined than ever to become a CPT. Challenge accepted! Thank you all at SMB for this gift!

[@aljadem5089]

Mind-boggling how this has so little views where in fact, this is so far one of the best and most detailed teaching I have ever stumbled upon showing just how much work is needed to be profitable in the long run. People tend to gravitate towards #tradingiseasy (it is if you’ve put in the hard work) pitches and then ask themselves why they can’t remain consistently profitable. I am grateful for people like you to actually spend time making these contents for the community to learn from. More power!

[@mbellafiore19]

We appreciate the comment. We will keep sharing and trying to help. It does take solid training to become good.

[@iTradeAIMS]

People love entertainment. The fact that you're watching this and wondering why there are so few views, comparatively, makes you one of those who is hungry to learn and get good. well done. Put Bella on a Gulf Stream with Rolex and Sexy girls... then 2.5 million views.

In high school, I wrote a playbook for my football position. Others made fun of me for noting these plays, but they were the ones who 'winged each play'. While I was barely even a third or fourth stringer, I still wanted to organize each play. This idea of managing your trades in a playbook will allow me to form a better strategy to intra-day trade options.

[@Joncmorales]

This was truly insight for me as a developing trader. Thank you for putting out this content. keep them coming!

[@michaelpayne9560]

Totally on point. I love the playbook metaphor. Make total consistent sense.

[@Iron_headify]

Hi Mike, love this channel and your books. This is the best breakout-breakdown on the internet, and my favorite SMB video, wish I saw this sooner! Thanks for sharing.

[@jschrager23]

love these videos that show examples of playbook style plays

[@mbellafiore19]

Thank you

[@AlchemyBC]

Exactly what I've been looking for when I keep hearing about playbooks. Thanks for the breakdown and template ideas!

[@smbcapital]

You bet!

[@ElaineBenes99]

Great video, Mike & SMB! This is very similar to the gapper trading strategy I use. Two questions I have wondered: 1. What is the minimum would you consider to be a high short interest (5%,10%, more)? 2. Do you consider the short interest ratio (days to cover)? Thanks in advance for your response. Love your trading education videos!

[@mbellafiore19]

Q0 percent gets my attention. 30 percent is too high for developing traders based on experience training newer traders

[@zenherenow5834]

@@mbellafiore19 did you mean to say 10 percent gets your attention? And what exactly do you mean by 30 percent is too high for developing traders? does it mean that they will not be able to deal with the pace of the squeeze?

[@omarroache1367]

Thank you this help me a lot

[@williambuckley6128]

Hi Bella, do any of your futures traders use orderflow footprints in-lieu of tape reading? Also, what are your thoughts on footprint carts?

[@TheGreeneggsandkam]

Two questions, Bella mentioned premarket buy as it held 32, so was the intial entry made premarket? Second, first two lots entry at 33.00 but subsequent pull back went and closed below vwap previous entry, what was the initial stop for first entry? Was it below the low of first candle, that seems like a large stop from risk to reward stand point? Thanks

[@simonwilliams7682]

Thank you so much Mike this is amazing !!

[@mbellafiore19]

[@smbcapital]

you are very welcome!

[@carthisan]

thanks so much for pushing me to define the edge this will help with repetion

[@nguyenquynh2212]

Thanks you so much!

[@altondinger1082]

Good stuff.

[@mizoudrs2259]

Thank's for this amazing course, i'm a big fan of SMB. i have a question please : In the slide named : Trade Entry - DBX Open - 1 min. we see that the seconde pullback did a false break of the vwap line ! do we need to consider the vwap as an area ? or an exact line ? for exemple if i was in that trad i'll propably close it when it break the vwap line by few cents. :/

[@mbellafiore19]

Use technical levels as areas or exact prices. First we consider the exact price holding. Then we consider an area holding.

[@poseidon51]

what time frame are you using when looking if the sector is hot, 1 day, 1 week?

[@KT-zx9jr]

Great clip and review. Thanks Mike. Kirby. I'll memorize the system so I can see all of these variables align in my sleep.

[@newera3757]

what is the name of 6 monitor stands you are using?

[@Jetzt100]

Can anyone define „trading setups with edge“ for me? Does it mean, to deal with difficult market situations?

[@matthewgilbert1347]

Thank you SMB! Could some of these technical indicators be flipped and used to play weak stocks/sectors short?

[@mbellafiore19]

Love your thinking here. Yes.

[@traderboi2662]

How do you establish the parameters of a setup?

[@JoseHernandez-sz3iq]

And this is what trading is all about. Having the edge

[@edriley3240]

Great stuff

[@josephfacada2234]

Thank you for the video. I am wondering what do you mean as rvol and where can you find a up to date rvol. Like where did you get the Rvol for DBX from? thanks

[@bharathkumar135]

Rvol is relative volume indicator

[@_jamesbradley__]

excellent

[@sujaybodas]

Can I use this same strategy on daily chart for positional trades? Holding period-couple of days to weeks. Very nice video, thank you!

[@mbellafiore19]

sujaybodas great idea for your to experiment with for your trading. It’s about setups working for you.

[@basilabuto1647]

"Is the stock holding above VWAP? That is an indicator that is the most effective indicator that we use as intraday active traders."

[@shaunakrishidas]

How can I join your firm as a trader?

[@josephfacada2234]
