Hi Shay! Is tradestation a good broker for scalping, specifically? Or should I only stick to platforms that have DAS Pro?

[@TT3TT3]

Definitely am in the big losses small wins category. Need to think about what I am doing more. Thanks !

[@sailorchriscam]

How do you find stocks in the premarket that have gapped up or down? I used to use Trade station for this service. I wonder how you do it ? What are the variables when looking at prop firms, and comparing them .. For instance, should you make it to a fully funded account. What would the profit split be? Do you think most traders use Prop firms or should I try to stick it out and just use my own money in the long run?

This one as a confused newbie. Thanks

one strategy until perfect execution

[@FireShine-ss4sb]

Perfect your charting. Reduces stress from buying in lower, selling by the chart NOT looking at the money.

[@jacobhernandez4347]

I'm glad to see and hear other people who have struggled, it's hard to talk about this kind of stuff with regular people. Im going on 4 months now and Iam improving thanks for your videos and tips .

[@barshalom4249]

Number 1 is my main problem I must admit. I get attracted to a lot of shiny new indicators that I think will give me an edge. I needed this, thank you.

[@HumbledTraderOfficial]

Yeah we’ve all done that mistake 😤

[@thebioenergycode6390]

Continuation, perseverance, and learning from mistakes are the basis of success in trading. Commitment and learning technical analysis along with risk management are very important to move forward towards growing profits little by little.

[@MyTradingJourneyonYT]

Your spot on about measuring your hold times on winning and losing trades. For some reason we always hold the losing trades longer hoping that eventually it will turn back in our favor. But most of the time that's never case. Stop Loss is a godsend.

[@kevinrichardson9785]

This the best video humble trader has done when it comes to real information. Most trader KZbinrs don't give real information, but this is one for the books people.

[@AnsVorza]

I started trading in 2003 and despite the fact that I was doing well, I took a 20-year break to pursue other ventures but in May, I decided to return to the monitors. My portfolio is up 174% for the year and while I'm proud of this success, I'm well aware that percentage can disappear in one week so I continue to watch your videos to help me fine tune this pursuit for profits. I just wanted to chime in and tell you that you are considerably the fuel behind my success this year after deciding to return to the game. I had a lot of catching up to do and my goodness your videos are just so incredibly well done. Keep doing what you're doing because I'm sure I'm not the only one whose life has been improved because of the time and effort you give to your craft. You are truly something special and you're changing lives. 🏆

[@realrighteoustv]

Number 2 by FAR my biggest issue. fear and worry. ive gotten alot better...and its helping my in my personal life as well

[@MrFavoraite]

I am full time employee and this video really helped me to find myself and stop jumping different strategy everyday. I think for me, swing trading works much better than other strategy specially I can't monitor the movement every minute. Thanks again

[@stevefromthegarden1135]

Reviewing losses is something I am doing. Either at the end of the day or more recently, I had 2 small losses in a row. I stopped looking at anything else to review my mistakes right away. In the case of the 2 losses, I was looking for a reversal but I was not giving it time to develop. I had tried to jump in early instead of waiting for the charts to show a reversal was actually happening. That was a learning experience. I also scaled down to work on improving my execution. (something you had talked about in several other videos)

It is always good to have a financial plan. I work with a portfolio manager and fixed income planner in the USA. The fixed income portion of your portfolio won’t simply serve as a buffer to the volatility of the equity portion of your portfolio, but will provide legitimate income.

[@MrsMarchisio]

This is very true! A lot of people downplay the role of a financial planner until burnt by their mistakes. After my last job layoff, I had to stay afloat, hence researched for licensed fiduciary advisors. Thankfully, I came across someone of practical knowledge and experience. My reserve fund of $225k has yielded nearly $1.3 million after subsequent investments so far.

[@MrsMarchisio]

I’ve shuffled through a few financial experts in the past but settled with;

*CHRIS RYAN STEWART*

[@MrsMarchisio]

His strategy is recession proof, more specifically profit-oriented and most likely you’ll find his basic information on the net. He’s a very well known advisor.

I recently said one big difference between folding a poker hand and selling a stock is that you can keep going back and checking the stock to see how you’d be doing had you not sold- for better or worse

[@boonong3895]

Thanks for the advise, I must remember it. I do realise my holding losses hold longer than my profit. It is always up and down, I have to be more patience in finding set up and slowly move up, By entering daily is definitely not right for me.

[@roinek2817]

No1 resonated with me and I always refer to this phrase which I tweaked to my own needs don't be "A jack of all trades but a master of none', rather be a Jack of one trade and a master of one".

One strategy instead of many, keep thorough journal, proper risk management all critical

[@jamescps8799]

I can't believe these information are free of charge. Thanks Shay!

[@TradeWitJROC]

Everything you said is exactly what I am doing. It's tough to hold on to my winning trades because I do not want to lose again. I hold onto my losers sometimes because I am hoping the price will bounce on the next resistance level, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm almost there I just need to get passed these two critical issues.

[@杉徐]

trading is hard but you can handle it at last

[@bonzaion21]

I do the same thing, so I decided to move my stop loss in increment to follow the price action with a small buffer to allow retest.

I do review my losses but not to the degree you suggest and could never seem to nail down quite where the solution was. My first trade this morning was terrific and then my 2nd took a sizable chunk from my 1st trade. I reviewed and saw I rushed to re-enter. I have already created the specific folders and start recording my wins and losses tomorrow. Thank you

[@jud2820]

@thehumbledtrader1-telegra will do

[@jonnyrottenshvacrchannel5884]

Its really about being disciplined. Get in and out of trades. Have a stoploss this prevents big losses. Dont chase trades patience is Important wait for your setups. Dont get greedy, or hold winning positions to long a bird in hand is better than 2 in the bush. Consistency is key, replicate your trades as much as possible, and you'll be a profitable trader.

[@12-OneTwo]

9:21 Should you compare losing/winning positions between them or also losing with winning ones?

[@nicolasbenson009]

This is quite educational. It's crucial for newcomers to keep in mind that the financial markets are highly irrational in the short run. You should constantly be ready for the unexpected. That is how chance operates. Because of the inherent risks in the market, I always favor long-term investments.

[@davidcaldwell6211]

I love your pro tips, Shay! I'm a beginner, trading for less than a month. My mistakes recently mirror what you explain in this video, so you are right on. I've been trying to learn when to bail on stocks having a red trending day. I tried a personal strategy of instantly dumping at a -1.00% or greater drop in order to cut the loss. But I realized I was selling off before bounces and not waiting for a modest profit bounce peak, but just selling at losses. I was not being patient. So now, I am paying more attention to my average cost price point on each stock and calculating a price target that will cover my purchase price or yield a profit. I'm also looking more closely at news, longer window history graphs looking for 'head room' for a stock to grow or the resistance ceiling I should expect. But Shay, the market is so tricky! But that's what makes it fun, right?

[@ray77j]

Fantastic video! Job keeps me from daytrading. But my swingers have been doing well, been actually more long term. Not looking at them much, set alerts on TOS mainly at past price line trends on the day stick. More recently, got some HE at the bottom. RRR too since I'm building one of there projects. Hey a dividend payment, bonus! haha! Keep em coming Shay!

[@ms.donald5032]

Wow, this was EXACTLY what I needed to hear. Although my losses are not huge any longer.....Not wanting to see my loss, again, at the end of the day then going to my 9 to 5 is why I'm not consistent with capturing the results of losing trades. Time to put my big girl undies ON and just do it!! thanks Humble Trader, you always bring me back to accountability, so kindly ❤🎉

The lesson that resonated with me: Taking screen shots of each trade and annotating the chart with entry, stop loss, and profit targets and also note on the charts the position open & close time. I'm going to begin this for trades that I made for the week of Sept. 18th, 2023. This will become a standard of practice and a good add to my journal of detailed notes & comprehensive data.

I've only been day trading for 2 weeks, every time the trade goes low/bad I have just been waiting a few days for the price to bounce back then selling for the same price I started at to avoid loosing money. I only trade stocks with a buy rating and good financials so there's a better chance for a bounce back.

[@jimriley9697]

Yea, I've got a big problem with leaving large amounts of money on the table. And in my cash account I can't try again until the money clears the next day. Such a bummer.

[@HumbledTraderOfficial]

Have you tried pre determining the exit? And execute the plan once the stock hits there? Or scale out in partials

[@troyh2706]

Reason #2 is one of my most psychological problem right now.

[@thinkpod4543]

I can’t wait until you interview me one day! I like how you review your strategy very awesome and Humble 😅

[@Artur.K8]

Hello there, I have a quick question. When using Interactive Brokers in Canada to trade on the NYSE, is it necessary to maintain a balance in US dollars in your account, or is it possible to hold Canadian dollars (CAD), with the system automatically converting them whenever a profit or loss occurs? Additionally, if having a US dollar balance is a requirement, how does this impact taxation, especially considering the fluctuating exchange rates? Your insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[@mixingjd]

While I get why you stress “not holding winners long enough & holding losers to long”. I have definitely been guilty of holding a loser to long. However, I have also found a struggle with greed that has led to holding a winning trade to long and not capturing profits when they were available. One must understand that it is rare for a stock to just run to the upside all day. Understanding pullbacks and retracements is vital.

[@bballah9969]

That's why you use the tier trading strategy my friend to hold on to winning trades longer. For tier one you take 25% off the table, for tier two you take 50% of the table also move your stop loss to break even as soon as your in tier two. Then tier three will be your final take profit and you sell the last 25%. The tier trading strategy allows you to stay in winning trades longer, and to keep losses very small if the stock goes against you. Once you take tier one off the table you stop out with house money for a small loss and move on. This is how pros trade 😉

[@HumbledTraderOfficial]

Yes for sure. I agree and that’s why the exits need to be pre planned as well. And the trader should follow that exit plan to sell, or at least partials

[@mixingjd]

@@HumbledTraderOfficial Ultimately trading is complicated because, you have to layer all of these elements together. Learning how to trade is a long process, and everyone should work a long time in a simulator before trying real money.
