I bought today, real time market data trading view, (and the Essencial plan -even if i am still in the 30 trial period) , but i don't see any difference compared to interactive brokers chart..just like before.. The only difference,is now on trading view, the tickers don't have the orange "D" delayed data sign.. Looks the same.. I thought there was 15 min difference..

[@javonebradford8137]

Thanks for the quality content. The key to my success is often found in honest self-reflection.

[@jeremyheit7036]

I would say to continue with some live trading videos. The way you go through you trades and planning covers almost every aspect; those videos help a lot! Additionally, these crash courses have been incredible - best free content out there!!

[@sarah9633]

1. More on Exponential bet sizing and how you're thinking about it as you do it. 2. Curious to know more about how you think about adding into positions/partialing to take profit - If I remember correctly, one of your videos said you only did it after 10 am. Is this still the case?

[@naethravenkat3332]

shay, would love to see live trading commentary next. its been so long since you made one.

[@AlexanderOwenb9l]

I came across your channel through this video-case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.

[@SophiaChloé6f]

You're correct. I think the smartest way to go is to spread out your investments. By putting your money into different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and stocks from other countries, you can lower the risk if one part of the market goes bad.

[@AidenLiamf7q]

That sounds like a good plan. In the past two years, working closely with a financial market specialist, I've built a six-figure diversified stock portfolio. Now, I aim to diversify even more this year.

[@NatalieHannahq3g]

Talking about a financial market specialist, do you consider anyone worthy of recommendations? I have about 100k to test the waters now that large cap stocks are at a discount... Thanks

[@AidenLiamf7q]

My CFA ’NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE’ a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.

[@NatalieHannahq3g]

Thank you for this Pointer. It was easy to find your handler, She seems very proficient and flexible. I booked a call session with her.

[@Alchahol]

She's just great! I feel like she's talking to us saying 'Here's how you can get better' and not at a screen trying to tell us 'I got rich, you need to get on the ball' or 'Buy my BS' 😁

[@HumbledTraderOfficial]

This is probably the most honest video on trading on youtube..thanks for this

[@Maximus18.6]

First of all thank you very much for this video and for being honest. Second, you did not follow your rules about VWAP, price action, support, and resistance areas. However, you did an amazing job showing your trading style and thanks again

[@jeremyheit7036]

As a trader, I was stuck just simply wanting to make money. It wasn't until I started trading with the idea of improving Risk:Reward & Win Rate did I start to see my account growing. The higher the risk:reward - the better the trade, and the higher the win rate - the more money (and confidence). Risk management was the reason for getting past profit based thinking for trading.

[@soluciones4574]

Excellent video Risk management from psychology perspective, how to set the right amount to enter and actually entering as planned is one of subject I would like

[@sarah9633]

Always get a lot from these. Thank you, Shay!

[@Lingzi330319]

Like to see your real time trading like this and learn from your lessons and success. Cheers!

[@peters972]

I’d humbly suggest to make the point psychologically to stubborn students like myself, please show a winning trade or two in the same format as the losing one. Maybe the video would get too long, but seeing the winning trades as well as the loosing one may subconsciously cement the discipline of stopping the loss, because there is hope of gains. Thank you!

[@daltonyz]

Hi, Shay! Another great video ☺ Thank you so much! A quick few questions, if you dont mind 🙏 1) Do you use 'stop loss' orders? Or you have a mental stop loss level and you just close your position? 2) Aren't stop loss orders seen by the market makers and they stop you out? 3) What is your most used exit order type? ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

[@HumbledTraderOfficial]

thanks for watching! 1. Yes I do use live market stop loss orders. I only use mental stop if its a partial position (like 1/5)

[@HumbledTraderOfficial]

2. Sometimes yes. But you can place stops strategically so you dont get wiped out too soon. Sometimes you still do thats the name of the game. It's better to have stops in case of some crazy volatility causing you to lose WAY more than planned.

[@HumbledTraderOfficial]

3. My most used exit order type is just limit order. Limit sell on ask or buy on bid

[@daltonyz]

Thank you, Shay, for taking the time to answer my questions @@HumbledTraderOfficial ❣

[@laftiskuno1357]

People can read all the books in the world and understand all of it and still fail, because they can't control them self.

[@TylerMcConnell]

This 💯. Psychology is more important than strategy. The two MUST align. Best book I’ve read on this is “The Inner Voice of Trading” by Michael Martin. I think he gives it away for free on his website.

[@nichen6966]

This video is such an excellent one and probably the most basic one to “must have knowledge” on basic disciplines of Trading. Thanks again for your generosity.

[@asianbipolar]

I am officially fan-girling all over your content every day. I love your dad jokes humour and how informative yet concise/clear you are. I’ve only begun my journey and just paper trading for now because I’m a wimp (veryyy risk averse because my capital will be small). So videos like risk management really puts me at ease that it IS something I can control. Also, just letting you know, I found your videos only 2 weeks ago and have binged through them like Netflix hahah. I now have almost 200 pages of notes and screenshots on my iPad mainly from your channel. I’m really trying to be patient and follow your advise from “How to be a trader in 30 days”. Fingers crossed and thanks again.

[@calvincarter2718]

Thank you so much for sharing. I love all of your content but yes I agree. This is my favorite video thus far because risk management is very important. I'll definitely be using some of your ideas in my own trading plan.

Hi, Shay. where you sat is just like a typical grandma's house in Iran.

[@turtleborn]

buying around 11am? when the 9ema spiked over vwap putting my stop loss just under vwap and profit target around the 12$ resistance could have been a nice trade , i started keeping an eye for those kind of paterns on stocks that were good pre market but went downhill at open and its been pretty good so far , decent wins or pretty small loses :) im just begginer with a small account but i really like that kind of patern THX for the video very informative

[@happy-wave-form]

what is the important strategy to complement "stop loss" ? the stop loss method is more applicable for day trade only?

[@xutingwang2277]

"When you're selling part of your position for profit, do you use the bid or ask price? When I sell, I use the ask price, but my concern is that the order might not be fully executed, or only partially sold. On the other hand, using the bid price reduces profit. How do you manage this?"

[@hardworkingamerican8847]

Been trading for a couple years or so and am very much a novice . Was wondering how you can buy back the same stock that you lost money on at a lower price ? I have to wait 30 days to get back in or my price is the losing price I sold at .

Find quality stocks that have long term potential, and ride with those stocks. I have found it takes someone who is very familiar with the market to make such good picks.

[@Natalieneptune469]

Right, when it comes to situations like this, it's ideal to engage in various options using an advisor, and I can attest to success of the basket approach seeing my portfolio grow from $350k to almost $1m in barely 3 years, by far my best financial milestone.

I love watching your videos (those I can lay my hands on) but I really wish your producers can find a way to avoid asking you and/or your guests to hold those microphones. They sound great but...

[@ozmozis6073]

Hi HT. You have so many videos, over close to 5 years. A few questions: 1. What's your background, if you don't mind me asking? I mean.. are you an economist, or commerce major? What did you do before trading? Did you ever think you'd be a trader? What brought you to trading? How many hours a day/week do you trader now, versus when you started? 2. What's your desktop setup? For 2024-25 what should be the aim, if you're a day versus swing trader, for max productivity? 3. What's the key updated videos for 2024 to watch on indicator tools, stock selection, news etc. Which are free and if there's a cost, what's the cost? 4. What's the key technique you use for analysis, as a swing trader now? MACD & RSI? What do you use for day trading? Respect. Love your work and explanations. Thanks.

At what period do you have to set up the VWAP?

[@vernfb5189]

The most frustrating thing that's been happening to me is; I will hit my stop loss, then less than an hour later it shoots back up. I understand and believe in stop losses but 12 or 13 losers in a row can also devastate a small account.

lol yes

[@ehsanlabib2996]

so then you always hit your stops, how could you predicate that it will turn from that level where you have a stop loss, bcz even you did your chart analyses correct market could hit and turn up, then you may think if you could tolerate like 2% you will be in profit, how do you get off such situation

[@daltonyz]

Hey Shay :) what if your planned risk-to-reward ratio is 1:3 but your risk is still higher than your max risk per trade or per day? Would you recommend such trade?

[@HumbledTraderOfficial]

Then you have to size down and take less shares, or reconsider your key levels

[@daltonyz]

Thank you!@@HumbledTraderOfficial

When I started, about ten years ago, I was using stop losses for risk management. This was death by a thousand, or rather one hundred cuts (1% risk). Mental stop losses only, correct?

[@AZeroSum]

Can you/someone help me understand something regarding trading size and risk management please.... Ok, so from what I understand typically it is important to not risk more than 2% of your trading account. So does this mean that you can place a trade using your entire account but to put a stop loss that is triggered when a 2% loss is incurred or does that mean only use 2% of the account for the entire trade and risk only 2% of that. At times the stop does not get triggered then you would lose the entire account if the entire account is risked and although you intended to only risk $200, your screwed if the stop is not triggered. Sorry for such a novice question.

[@makeitbetter9685]

I was just thinking about this too. From what I'm seeing in the spreadsheet, it seems like we're buying a position up to the full account amount. But only if the key levels suggest we won't lose more than your risk% for the account. The spreadsheet suggests this because in order to make $300 on a trade the stock would only have to increase by 3%, but if your position was only 1% of your account ($100) then the stock would have to go up 300%.

[@sgt_donna]

How do you add a stop loss during pre market?

[@HumbledTraderOfficial]

Stop limit only

[@Tech-oc5uv]

so does this apply to options as well so if i buy a contract for 43$ i should risk it to have 1:2 ratio but sell at 86$?

[@starmstarm8581]

I can't disagree more. I enter a trade with a fixed Stop Loss already in place. My problem is that I see opportunity to make money everyewhere and can justify opening a position based on some technical criteria that I have no problem coming up with. It makes perfect sense in my head and yet time and time again I'm loosing...
