[@Nadatoprada6792]

Fire vid Carmine!! I highly reccomend the course for anyone that wants to genuinely learn. It took my trading as well as my psycology to the next level needed to start being profitable. The content is honestly unrivaled, everyone in the discord is happy to help including myself. Carmine and Dylan I'm seriously grateful for all you do and to be part of the investitrade fam. Thanks!!

[@carmine_rosato]

Appreciate the message 🙏🏽

[@Kloutkulture]

Does the course talk about compounding?

[@Frankcisco12]

@Nadatoprada, can you use the what you learn from the course on small cap stocks? Or only big caps stocks and only stock options. P.S Thinking of buying the course, new to trading.

[@JustGrenade]

Are you profitable?

[@dylanstox]

Insane how quick time flies! I remember the start of the journey like it was last month... Amazing to see how far you've come... Proud of you Carm! Forever thankful❤

[@jeremiahhaynes1986]

Shout to you too Dylan you and him really changed lives

[@robbiondino6506]

you guys rock

[@carmine_rosato]

❤️

[@jerr6]

If you are just finding Carmines videos you need to know he's the real deal. You are not gonna find shortcuts or some kind of magic to trading here. Him and Dylan teach you the right way to trade, read the market, handle your emotions, etc. If you are willing to learn this is the place. Look im almost twice as old as these guys, in the construction trades, have a family, make a good living, and need to support my family. I can't risk money like I could when I was younger, at home, no family. Learning risk management and handling emotions is probably the most important part of trading for me. Carmines KZbin channel, instagram,discord all help so much with learning this stuff. Im extremely grateful for finding him and his community. Thank you Carmine and Dylan.

[@sergnextdoor5213]

Amen. Inspiring … I struggled with discipline this year. So many distractions. I didn’t have a steady income, i got into a relationship hastily without prudence, lack of purpose. My emotions were just scattered all around. But after watching this, I need to regain focus, purpose, discipline, journal, practice charting, read psychology, prepare before market open, and focus on execution during market open. I know what I need to do, I just need to do it now.

[@Jimzz91]

Fantastic story and journey man! Incredible inspiring. Have gone from doing exactly like u trying every indicator in the game and jumping from strategy to strategy.. have now laser focused on auction market theory/ volume profile together with supply and demand, and using bookmap to cut down my risk and following ES futures bookmap daily ONLY for almost a year now and finally starting to turn the tanker around to break even / slight small profits. Also big on the journaling and doing what u said with reviewing every trade after the close keeping some stats on R/R and other things. Man it is hard work tho and mentally draining... Keep grinding 🙏❤️

[@iamr1o]

This is awesome to hear and extremely informative, I have been trading on and off for around 2 years before I came across your KZbin channel. I went through all the loses and trader emotional rollercoaster you mentioned. After joining your community, and daily reading your pre-market plans, intra-day commentary, answering Q&A from other users, hopping on voice every now and then, shadowing you and Dylan I slowly started crawling back out of the hole. I am not where I want to be at as a trader, but like you said it is a forever evolving journey. I am just immensely grateful I came across your KZbin channel, and being apart of your community. Happy holidays and happy early New Year thank you for everything you do 🙏

[@mihalym.6876]

Thank you your post Carmine! What a valuable story for the beginners. Unfortunately beginers will do most of the same mistakes because they have to be burn themselves to even consider the learning process differently, ie. understanding the advices from the experienced traders. Without the battle scars ego will always win, advices, studies are in the bin. This is life, this never change. What I would like to highlite from your example is the dedication, the focus on the subject. The dedication was so powefull you changed your lifestyle completely. This is what all the beginners or strugglers - like me - should think about. Eliminating all the distractions to focus on to do the process and learning within a tight daily schedule day by day. Ask yourself: can I do the same or very similiar? One thing I am sure: as Carmine told us there is no shortcuts to reach the goal, only the hard work. Time to retink the new year wishes. 😀

[@kellarenna]

I've got to say we all go through the dark times in this business. I can't tell you how many days I've cried hysterically. Felt like a failure, a loser, couldn't do anything right. And I even asked God why he hated me 😂 I laugh now but at the times it's happened the pain was so intense. I asked myself why on earth I do this every single day. Because I knew there's a right way to do it. I knew on my most painful days it was because of my own poor market choices and it was just a matter of training myself and my mind to do it the right way. And slowly but surely the scale is tipping and I believe those days are over as I'm learning to manage my positions and keep my emotions at bay as a result. This is a process. An excruciating., long process but once you get through that dark tunnel there really is sunshine on the end of it. Keep going!

[@ryunosukefuriya3748]

Wow, now this is like a Christmas present from Carmine. I was always interested in learning about your trading journey. I learned a lot about market context this year; market profile, volume profile, how to understand and use order flow, and how not only are the markets an auction, but that the markets are a mirror for human psychology. I'm still growing on my journey and intend to be here for a long time. Thanks for all of your support and valuable content you provide. Wish you continued success and prosperity, Carmine.

[@carmine_rosato]

You are on the right track 👁️ Thank you

[@tombenz8684]

Great video, new to the channel. I am about to be laid off work end of next month. Feel this is the perfect time to start my day trading career. Understand "9 out of 10" day traders fail. So I understand the hill/journey in front of me I'm not in denial. I appreciate this video and your humility to discuss your setbacks. I paper trade set up charts/trade fairly well I think....One thing I don't do never have done is journal. I understand the importance in it just no clue. Camrine do you have a video on beginner journal techniques and strategies? Could you make one to emulate as a starting point? Once again great informative videos. Thanks

[@ronhepburn5629]

Carm, without a doubt. You have got to be the most genuine market participant/instructor out there. I appreciate your transparency and honesty. So grateful for all of your content. Very inspiring! God bless you, your family and your health and your business in 2023. Thanks for letting us come with you on this journey.

[@Moronical]

Really great stuff, thank you. I am at the bottom of my pit right now and this really helped. I feel like after two years of trading I would be better but I STILL see my faults and after a day of losses I talk to myself and say “you know better than that” but those emotions when you are in the trade, especially when you feel like you can’t get out because you have no money to trade with left because of the PDT rule, you start to think “well i will just let it play out, it still has time to reverse” and it never does. I know looking at the charts, the past days it had the same set up, it’s not changing, but I still sometimes wait anyway instead of getting out right away, then what happens? Larger losses of course. Tuesday it starts all over but different this time. I HAVE to be successful with this. I absolutely love trading and am very passionate about it and will make it work.

[@delibite5889]

same same same

[@mikeechegaray7157]

Dude I am so glad and grateful to have found you on KZbin. Your experience has light up my mind. I am not having any edge at this moment in trading I still have what it takes just having a bad moment. Your journey is inspiring. Be blessed

[@markj8038]

Thanks Carmine! Can you give some examples of how you journal your trades! Love your videos

[@edgaremralino7512]

Bro, you put out all this info as if you have been in the game for a very very long time. I've said it in some of your other videos that these psychology advice are far better than teaching Technical Analysis in my opinion. I'm a believer in your ability. Thanks.

[@carmine_rosato]

I appreciate that! Truth

[@mishm.3893]

Awesome video, Carmine. And the fact that you share your knowledge with your community and with YT is amazing too. You are a motivation to me, seriously!

[@ewingzinc85]

Adding this to my "Trader Documentary" Playlist - Thanks for sharing your Journey!

[@kaibro3622]

This was a great video to see as I truly am one that can relate to the story. I’m in college and am struggling my way through bc I’m really focusing on trading as it is really is something that I want to pursue. I have asked my parents if I can drop out and they were totally against it for me. I am coming up on the start of my third year of trading and my last semester of college, and although I don’t see much improvement on my p/l yet, I feel that my psychology is honing into a mindset of profitability soon. The student debt that has been piled on me over these past couple of years is a little overwhelming, but I know that my profitability will come and I can begin to start paying it off fairly soon. Carmine, I deeply thank you for sharing your story here. Seeing stuff like this makes me want to grind even harder🔥

[@kaibro3622]

Also congratulations on 100k

[@carmine_rosato]

Keep pushing

[@lucyleary4356]

Glad I found you. This video spoke to me. And you flashed my favorite trading book Be Your Own Trading Coach. I need to do all those things you said to do. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@MaxLorenzo]

I think I speak for the entire Investitrade community when I say thank you for dropping this. We've been wanting to get to know you better and learn about your journey! Thanks for sharing. Happy Holidays! :)

[@UmarAshraf28]

Congrats on all the success man! You deserve it!

[@carmine_rosato]

Appreciate the support man 🙏🏽

[@tornado3583]

One of your finest videos, Carmine. Experience and journeys have meaning. Thank you!!

[@audreykirwin7385]

This was a fantastic and inspirational video. I am so truly grateful that you have shared it. My journey has been long and challenging . However for the first time in years I am totally certain that I can become a full time trader with your leadership, mentorship, and heartfelt sharing on a daily basis . Thank you for this video and for all you do every day. You are truly providing a life changing experience. I am so happy that you are part of my journey 🙏👍😀 0:04

[@toddkrempasky5163]

Great video Carmine. If this isn't an inspiration to those who feel they're just can't get the grasp, it's proof that they can make it just by tweaking and adjusting. One question I have: What were you using to write your journals on? I couldn't figure out what that program or app was that you had where you were scrolling through all of it. Thanks again!

[@johntricarico7090]

Carmine, this is a very inspiring video. Glad I have taken your course. I’m still working out the kinks for myself.

[@halnaser]

What an Impressive journey. I am glad to learn from the course and the discord. Thank you Carmine. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@shahs.5412]

I’ve been watching your vids and apart of your discord for 2+ years now. I think this is the first time I actually heard about your journey. This was a great video and gave me allot of motivation. Thanks for sharing. Huge respect for taking a risk by dropping out from college to pursue trading. The risk paid off! And congrats on 100k subs 💪🏽

[@carmine_rosato]

Thank you 🔥🔥

[@willystonks]

Thanks for sharing Carmine. Great to see that every trader has been through dark times as a right of passage in self exploration. Just like you did, it’s about betting on yourself and getting back up every time you are knocked down. You said it perfectly, there is no destination - it’s about the journey.

[@AnotherBangaTV]

Incredible stuff man. From the first video I ever came across, I knew you were different from the rest. Glad to have stumbled across you and Dylan. Both of your stories are super inspiring, and we all appreciate you guys very much for what you do on the daily, and are blessed to be apart of the community.

[@carmine_rosato]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@Tretc]

Appreciate you for sharing your story Carmine it’s amazing to see. You are helping so many people with your hard work!🙏🏽💯

[@LesaLegit]

Excellent video! I loved every minute of it. You are so genuine, transparent and humble. Those traits also play into your success. Thanks for being such a wonderful teacher and motivational speaker. Many blessings to you.

[@kenyattaibarisha6467]

This was such a dope video. It was authentic, inspirational, and educational. I'm like, man...I hope I live long enough to discover my version of your success. I am getting started a little late. I am 49. I'm a teacher that retires in 5 years. Beginning in 2020, I took a stock investing class, and the summer of 2021, I took an options class. I am just now in 2023 just kind of. getting it. I missed all the the gains that created millionaires during the pandemic. I have 5 years to become a proficient trader. I believe I can do it. I'll start small this year. Hopefully in 3-4 years, my account will be in the 6 figures. By then I can trade for a living. Thank you for the video

[@mortgagebros]

Thanks for sharing your story. Truly appreciate it. I'm early in my trading journey and am going to the struggles that you went through in 2016. I'm refining my process and need to do a better job with my journalling. Just curious if there's a software you use to track your trades? Thanks again for your time to answer my question. Have a Merry Christmas!

[@Wendy-er5tg]

Wow thank you Carmine for making this video during Christmas holiday weekend. Thanks for sharing your journey!

[@devinpurnell7820]

Really appreciate this video Carmine! The struggles at the beginning of your journey sounded like you were reading my mind. I've been putting off journaling for so long thinking I could do without it. It starts tomorrow. Like you said at the end, "Focus on the process, the profits are a by-product". I hope one day to make a similar video and shout you out in my turning point. Keep it up my guy!

[@BradFinn]

Thanks for your time Carmine. Happy new year!

[@iSeeTicks]

Funny and great. When I am sitting here thinking man I am bad at this, I hear someone who's very experienced has gone through the samething I am going through now. Just hoping this is my learning curve and become consistent one day. Thanks.

[@carmine_rosato]

We all go through it. Shame some people are too afraid to admit it

[@byrontodd3489]

Great video! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼

[@humdog64]

Awesome video, loving the course! Very mature for your age, your crushing it!

[@neilmac4730]

Excellent analysis of your journey!

[@ryanrichardson5389]

Love this video. I’m two years into trading futures now and it really does only come down to price and volume. We have a very similar story as far as the life savings part goes but it’s awesome to start being profitable and knowing that you’ve found your edge. The mental journey is the most important part as you stated.

[@carmine_rosato]

100% !

[@estelle344]

wow Carmine! that was extremly inspirtational. thank you for sharing your journey with us - at least for me, its good to feel that im not alone and that one day ill get there. appreciate it alot.

[@toddkelley6305]

Best video I have watched regarding the reality of trading! Carmine nails what it takes to be successful. I’ve followed his price/volume methodology and have significantly increased my wins, reduced my losses. Very thankful I am part of his community!

[@kevinwright7026]

I’ve found in uptrends buying weekly options when quadruple bullish divergence on the 1 hour or bullish divergence on the 1 day, has worked 90% of the time. Then the opposite during a downtrend.

[@stevek33]

Awesome vid C. thanx!

[@amadeobernabo]

100k SUSCRIBERS CARMINEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Well deserved bro, 1M right arround the corner. Congrats

Great video Carmine, thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@magmag9999]

Listening to the book you recommended in this video. It is a gem! Thank you for everything.

[@_d0ser]

Absolutely awesome video. By far the most BTS view of start-to-now of trading. Would love to see more about the guys trading without charts.

[@scooterponch1106]

Insightful and inspiring. The struggle is real! Long time viewer signing up for the course this weekend. Thank you for what you do. 🙏

As someone who’s been following and learning from you for a long time now, it’s great to know more about your personal journey. Thanks for being willing to share your personal story with the world.

[@carmine_rosato]

Thank you so much!

[@itzmobro62]

Im at that turning point/ space in my trading, all the peices are finally coming together- just need to keep grinding it out everyday. Keep having a plethora of minor setbacks along the way that have been like a 1000 paper cuts - but the way I see if - bring it on, lemme deal with all of them now so it wont be an issue later. Thank you for the vid - i been in a funky mood last few day and this helped.

[@gilliethepoet]

Amazing video. Wow. The beginning of Your trading speak VOLUMES to me. It’s like looking in a mirror. I have to focus more on journaling to see what truly works for me while focusing on price and volume

[@syidewayz]

Great content with minimal ads. What psychology books do you recommend? Thanks for all you do.

[@sotiriosthagreat]

Dude this was an absolutely amazing video! I loved hearing your story and how you got to where you are today! Definitely the main trader I look up to. With time and experience I’ll do my best to win this “game” and invest in my own house flip. All love g! Great video

[@yoitsjj20]

Incredible story. Makes me motivated to learn everyday on trading and to follow what works well for myself.

[@TheresaPhan08]

Very Merry Christmas to everyone 🎄 I have to say I AGREED with what you said 100%. I have lost a lot of money due to those conditions that you listed out. I however don’t give up with my current little capital. I started implementing price and demand methods that you advise along with cradle sticks; it’s working but I have to be more discipline. Pray to the Lord to save my capital so I can gain back what I have lost. I truly appreciate the time you put on educated videos. God bless you 🙏🏻

[@geoffreykivuva4055]

Thank you for sharing your story. Very encouraging. Your channel has been very helpful. Kindly assist here. What is needed to connect the six monitors to one PC or laptop for multiple chart analysis?

[@yungbr0wnn]

i watch your videos all the time. been studying consistently every day for the past half year. haven't missed ONE DAY. everyday has been a green day. I'm now documenting my trades and uploading them. Just commenting to say, this guy gives good advice/info. I'm being trained by a prof but i still watch this guy for mental advice. SUBSCRIBED. if i wasn't already getting info from a trainer, i would deff join your course.

[@josianecamarotte2874]

I loved your video. What tools do you teach in your course? I know basics of vwap, market profile, DOM and cumulative delta. But I feel that I need to understand more about the tools and the market. Thank you

[@carmine_rosato]

Mainly footprint , DOM , heatmap and supply demand

[@jacquezduhart5680]

Great video carmine. Very relatable as I’m still in college and feel the same way as you did back in your time.

[@CloudTrading86]

Great video Carmine!! Reall inspirational. Right now I’m not a trader but have been really interested in giving it a try. As of now I’m just watching videos. What books are there I can buy and learn more about trading

[@x..Steve..x]

Great to hear about your journey. Thanks for sharing. I love being a member of the Investitrade community.

[@X2Jason]

love to hear the backstory!

[@donderk6969]

Congratulations! Great story. I wish I would have started trading at your age. I'm 57 and started part-time trading a few years ago. My problem is that, at my age, I have capital from all the years working 75+ hours a week since my college days, and I have lost ALOT of money trying to hit home runs with no proven strategy. I still am not profitable, and I seem to be where you were at the beginning of your journey. I really need to figure this out as I can't take such losses. You're a young inspiration for anybody. Thanks for all the information, and I wish you nothing but success. Nice job.

[@joemahadeo7317]

Hey Carmine been watching and following your channel Great journey your a great teacher . Am in a deep loss as of now in my trading and trying to find my edge and risk management . Thinking of giving up . But listen to you this morning giving me some hope of switching up and try again thank you

Thank you for sharing your story Carmine! People need to see how much hard work and dedication it takes to succeed at day trading. Very inspiring! Thanks again! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@LukeErWin___]

That feeling when price and volume is orderflow. The ATR depicts your risk for the day and what the set up is

[@carmine_rosato]

That feeling when you bench 275 for the first time

Thank you so much for taking the time to produce this great video. It is easy to see that your discipline has paid off and will continue to do so. There are no shortcuts!

Excellent video as always, Carmine. Glad I found your channel a while back!

[@ulkord]

excellent video, thanks for sharing your story

[@yeahyeah9193]

Not being negative or beating myself about it but I see you had a couple advantages. Family who had experience, going to wall street, time and a lot of it to really dive into the stock market and charts, and monitors (I’m still stuck on cellphone 😅). But I know that when I get some screens and more time I will finally be profitable. It’s just a matter of time. Best luck to all and let’s keep pushing forward!

[@Phoebonaccii]

all you need is a shit laptop and dedication

[@topmanbait1]

[@TraderChick]

This video came so timely. I’ve had a steady two weeks of green and today I blew up all of my gains and my entire account accidentally playing during news today. I was devastated and felt sick. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@carmine_rosato]

Lessons

[@mikethomas2553]

Same here thankfully I didn't blow my entire account. I literally told myself I would avoid trading that day to avoid that happening but oh well. You live and you learn. I've only been trading 3 months. I made small smart plays pretty consistently then get about 300 in my account and get 2 greedy. We can and will make a come back. The mistakes make you stronger. Hardest part of keeping your emotions out

[@TraderChick]

Have you be able to add the futures section to your online course yet? Will that be in the A-Z option or?

[@MarkNewbyNewbs]

Just came across you. Very sound advice. Very disciplined. I have a lot to learn from tutors like you. Thank you.

[@DeanSterling]

Carmine thanks for sharing your relentless pursuit and what it takes to succeed in trading...we all grow from what you take time to share.

[@carmine_rosato]

I appreciate that!

[@GBalTrades]

🔥

[@MrErk1110]

Based on your story I know where I stand in my trading journey. You identified key mistakes that I am making. I know what I have to work on now to flip the switch. I am so close to that final breakthrough and becoming consistently profitable.

[@ironcoffer]

Great video. Thanks for superhero origin story. Merry Christmas

[@harihs85]

Thanks for the all the tutorials. How much investment is required for trading futures? Like options is there any minimum premium required?

[@forevernoble8942]

Carmine I'm going to be honest with you. In the black community historically we didnt have much exposure to the stock market. In fact slaves were traded on Wall Street first. I appreciate that you share the knowledge from your connections and personal experiences at such a young age. God bless you!

[@isaiahdaquioag7044]

Very similar situation im in now, college, job opportunities, dark times, betting the last amount in my savings, but add in covid lol, feels like im passed that beginner stage, started the trading coach book and journaling also, that lets me reflect my new style of trading with simple screens and least amount of emotions as possible and feels like its the turning point now knowing my edge, i hope everyone like me that wasnt taught about the market and no one to look up to/ no support will be profitable in the long run🤙 big thanks to God that i’ve found Carmine’s youtube and big thanks to Carmine and Dylan for tips on my journey as well

[@carmine_rosato]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@davidmalave2000]

One of my favorite videos. I loved to hear your journey C. I can see it was definitely not easy but you put all the effort for it. See you at the top my guy!

[@iwannatry3438]

What tool did you use to journal your trades?

[@wallstdemon]

Awesome video bro! ❤️ trading psychology and journaling are my favorite. I saw improvement pretty much immediately after I started journaling, that’s how you find your edge 🔥

[@ericgarcia7501]

Amazing video. You and Dylan are killing the game. Keep on going.

[@moneypowerandmedicine]

what do you use to journal your trades?

[@thesandman8642]

Thanks for this video Carmine. There are so many gems in here I had to stop and rewind a few times. What a great Christmas gift.

[@NoLimitzz9]

Great video! I'm thinking about grabbing your course. Can these strategies be applied to any trading platform? I use NinjaTrader to just trade the S&P eminis and there are no special indicators I'll have to download and import right?. Been around this business for a long time and still don't have a year where I've been profitable... Seems like your course is simple in design but massive in content. Can your system teach an old dog some new tricks and help eliminate years of "baggage" and bad habits?

[@carmine_rosato]

Yes any platform. Remove old habits and implement new ones
