My 10 Essentials for Day Trading

[@themikwebber]

I have a 5 month old daughter who means the world to me. I need to keep a picture of her on my trading desk. Maybe that will remind me why I’m trading.

[@jamesrichyoung]

Definitely essential 👍

[@ihodlpotatoes9340]

I love the idea of printing out a sheet for the trading journal. I tend to neglect doing it after a few times it if it's in a book format. Thank you.

[@jamesrichyoung]

Yes and then I just organize them in a binder by the year.

[@umapuma2136]

@@jamesrichyoung Hey man, I just discovered your channel and love it. Keep it up

[@bashulto]

Great! I used to have a sizing sheet. I just wrote code to do it automatically on TWS and it is what i now use.

[@williamy3356]

Great content, thanks for all the videos James. Looking forward to the next videos.

[@tonysmith7554]

I want to know what monitors your using ,and the size?

[@Jdgarcia19866]

could you share your traing journal is it a google sheet?

[@kennedytrades]

Every time I watch your videos, i think "he's living my life in the future" your son is awesome man!

[@Memphis_10-f8j]

Great video big bro. Hope the house is coming along nicely!

[@jamesrichyoung]

Thanks Joe! It's been at a stand still for quite some time but should get things moving again by next month

[@hdlink78]

James, can you share where you got your wrist pad? cannot find the same item from amazon.... appreciate.....

[@adenpakaraonepat1428]

Love the moment about the photo

[@dannytetreault]

1) X-Keys pad 2) Cyber Power UPS System (backup power system/surge protector) 10 minutes of power to close out trades 3) Cell phone 4) Share Sizing table risk $500 per trade how many shares do I need to buy? 5) Calculator 6) Daily trading journal 7) RanBan Blue light protection glasses 8) Wrist pad for wrist fatigue contact point reduction 9) Trading in the Zone - Mark Douglas (psychology of trading) 10) Picture of son (what’s your reason/motivation for trading?) Thanks, bro! Crypto Man Dan

[@evantfunk]

Honest standing desk has been great. Gets the brain working for watching orderflow and the tape.

[@nareshkumar-mt8ff]

Great vid! Where can we find a copy of the journal template?

[@okkrom]

No affiliate links?! I want to buy everything you suggest and be just like you! On a more serious note; If you didnt think about it, you could add more power supplies to get more run time. Maybe plug your PC into one and only allow 2 screens to run on another one. Cute story about Tyson. I have a 10 months old at home and he is (almost) always happy. Even on bad days I just can't stay grumpy when he comes over and tries to reach anything and everything on my desk.

[@jamesrichyoung]

Haha thanks Elias! Yes I do have two but even if I got more I'm only adding minutes so it's fine. And congrats!

[@coachkipfinance]

I really like the idea of a play sheet. With my coaching and sports background that really hit me and something I am going to put that in practice.

[@pedrombaptista]

When I started to trade on Betfair back in 2007 I broke like 10 calculators when I got mad, I stumble on this video and I remembered that my calculators were just like that one small with sun energy thing. Im only a sports exchange guy but I think your videos are really good, keep up the good work. PS: dont break the calculator lel

[@AM2K2]

I can't find the video where you talk about this share sizing list - could you link it please?

[@pinkfloyt6706]

I am a full time trader and when my 18yo wannabe trader nephew asked me what it the tool I am using while trading the most I told him: calculator. He did not ask more questions, he probably thought I was making fun of him but it is true, calculator and the ruler.

[@mrmonz]

Dang bro you have inspired me all over again. Thank you.

[@andys6385]

can you tell us what's on the trading journal

[@kinzakhalid9087]

I m ur huge fan.. thanks for sharing ur knowledge and skills with us.. One request plz if you could share ur carry over list, how do u actually select stocks. Thanks once again.

[@cadehaak]

He’s made a video on this already. Check his videos on patterns and gap stocks

[@DirkDiggler-z1z]

I know iPhone isnt optimal but I’m looking to save for a day trading setup. Desktop mainly. Very new to this but I’m enjoying it

[@lightofmylife1616]

Any difference between elgato stream deck and X key?

[@jamesrichyoung]

Both can do the same trick but I prefer the xkeys because it's made to be held in the hand and is more customizable to your liking.

[@ewlincueto]

What platforms do you use and of the two, which one is your favorite and why?

[@rajr-do9zy]

Wrist Pad link pls

[@Mike-iq9uh]

Love your videos. For the X keys add on. Does your platform need to support hotkeys in order for you to use it?

[@_d0ser]

If your platform DOESN'T support hotkeys you need a new platform.

[@SirAngst]

Just found your channel which is crazy, but good authentic, scam free content. I enjoy your life vlogs on progress of your house etc. I am full time employed with a good job, and a couple other side hustles, but I trade 2 days a week, and I have been profitable for a couple few years now, not like you. My R is only 100. Im afraid to go any higher than that. (also becaue of time constraints mostly swing trades lately) Do you have any vids on how you set quick stops, and selling half/adding with TOS? I usually just use bracket trades on the active trader and was wondering if there is a better/quicker way to do it with that platform? Thanks.

[@lexbraxman9270]

Love those photos!

[@jamesrichyoung]

❤

[@srirajan404]

James, is Starlink available in your area for your backup Internet provider?

[@crazyhead1588]

Why m I addicted to your vids even though i know the trading shit already little bit

[@CrAzYDUde2587]

Great video man! you got me interested in getting an xkey, was there a guide you followed regarding the setup for trading or did you just set it up yourself with your own ideas of what keys to set?

[@ludicycle]

Nice videos! I like the blue blockers however you might want to try toggling to a dark screens for your charts so your pupils/eyes don't strain. It will also help with the headaches you mentioned. ☮

[@Pedrotchang]

Excited to be a father someday, so #10 was awesome!

[@Roger-il8iw]

I use a MacBook with the m3 purely for the battery backup. All the m chips are insanely powerful. Use a dock with 2 monitors, works great.

[@otm777]

Very practical essentials!

[@LongTu167]

Thanks for sharing James !!!

[@laowai2000]

Upsize that calculator. Something larger a lot easier and more efficient to use!

[@drydessert4198]

You can get batteries that last a few hours for 500. It depends on your computer, of course. One option is to have one computer that uses less power particularly for the case of power outage. Perhaps the best in that regard at the moment would be a Macbook or Mac mini with M1/M2 CPU. Even with your regular PC and not switching off any scree, you do not need to spend 10k. Look for 'solar generator' on youtube. You don't have to actually connect solar panels. You can load them with your regular AC socket in the wall. It won't be hard to find your favorite. Just watch a few reviews. With trading income high enough, it can make sense to get a Starlink internet dish as a backup for the connection.

[@WeSnapple]

awesome video James!

[@BankBanditzFx]

Wheres the course at?

[@tubertaa3400]

Your 10th essential is the best. ❤

[@anna2424able]

[@views40]

SUPERB video! Thank you!!

[@MrPotatoHeadFX]

You missed the most important tool... Coffee :D

[@diljotsinghbatth5871]

Hiii james how can i reach you?!

[@qilingandfriends]

Why not just make a automated script and it will solve most of the hardware issue, including UPS. :)

[@sabinemeier2]

I'm glad I got into crypto when I did because it’s been a turning point for me financially, been my best decision so far.

[@stevenrice500]

Inspiring! Do you think you can give me some advice on how to invest in a healthy way as you are doing?

[@travisobrien09]

Bitcoin has been falling for a while now and could fall further or close to rise again. The truth is that no one knows, I believe it's the right time to buy and also get a pro's assistant

[@dr.mohammed.erdogan]

wow.. amazing to see others who trade with Mrs Claudia Jenkins, i'm currently on my 5th trade with her and my portfolio has grown tremendously.

[@Austin195]

Isn't that the same Mrs. Claudia Jenkins that my neighbours are talking about, she has to be a perfect expert for people to talk about her so well

[@stevenrice500]

Please how can I contact this woman Claudia Jenkins? I will also like to invest with her

[@dailydoseofshorts69]

[@thesturdygentleman]

[@filoniz]

You for got the hidden urinal.

[@ivanred4497]

No bumps on my wrist! Working for 6 years already. Earning up to 50 000 per day. No glasses - they make me nervous. No special keypads - no hurry / fuss in trading. Every trade is thought over for 60 minutes at least! Desktop is not crucial for trading, you can do it on the phone without fuss. But you definitely need a big screen for technical analysis. I have Apple for training videos and reading + gaming monitor for technical analysis in Tradingview No calculators - if you can’t quickly calculate in mind your profits and losses / stop losses and take profits - you shouldn’t be in trading
