Should You Learn How to Trade Penny Stocks? No! (Here's Why...)

[@Atheist269]

As somebody from the EU with a day job, this looks like a really good option for me actually. Thanks for making a free course on this, the futures market really does look way more complicated than stocks at first.

[@claytrader]

You're welcome Adam. I'm confident the course will simplify things for you!

[@ninja12392]

don’t believe this guy penny stocks are reliable you just need the right strategy. been doing this for years.

[@claytrader]

Thanks for the thoughts, but... I don't believe you ;-)

[@lonewolf7650]

There's a difference between pennystocks and smallcaps. I think he is referring to stocks under $1. I've traded smallcaps profitably for 3yrs they are volatile but predictable if you know what you're doing.

[@claytrader]

Price is irrelevant. No matter the price, the PDT Rule still exists.

[@lonewolf7650]

@@claytrader You can easily bypass the PDT with offshore brokers so it isn't really an issue.

[@claytrader]

and like I said in the video... I will NEVER recommend someone send their money off shore.... but yeah, you still haven't overcome the annoying shorting problem either.

[@drewsoutdoorreviews]

3:18 without skipping ahead, I’m gonna guess micro e-mini futures.

[@mann234]

Penny stocks can be divided into good and bad ones. Bad one have debt more than cash while good one have more cash than debt. Trade the good ones.

[@claytrader]

That's an oxymoron. If they're a "good" stock, why are they only worth pennies?

[@HerciliaLLeger]

Clay thank you for your time I am looking forward to trade Futures and Micro Futures!😄

[@claytrader]

Any time!

[@MattsPath]

Micro-futures are great, but the fees can be cost prohibitive depending on the broker

[@claytrader]

Right, that's sorta the case everywhere though in regards to "depending on the broker".

[@shaundwyer7287]

Thanks Clay, I came upon your channel about a year ago (subcribed to you at that time also). I like your honesty and integrity, that's why so keep coming back to you! I have registered for your webinar. Another great video, keep it up.

[@claytrader]

Thanks for the kind words Shaun. I'll be seeing you Thursday then!

[@Ivar1231]

I get what you are saying, but don’t confuse people. PDT does not apply to cash accounts, only applies to margin accounts.

[@claytrader]

That's true, but you aren't factoring in the "cash settlement" that must take place on a cash account.

[@brantz648]

Thing's I've learned since starting to day trade....PDT rule only applies to MARGIN accounts., NOT cash accounts. As long as the funds are settled in your account, you can trade with them. I've been doing it like this with E*Trade for the last 6 months. I've made over 40 trades in the last week this way, and have been doing about the same volume, week after week. Maybe some of theses videos that talk about the PDT rule, should tell the people who are new to trading, the correct info. I like your videos, Clay, but you're leaving out some important points when it comes to PDT.

[@claytrader]

Bryan, and what you are not factoring in is, even in a cash account, you have to wait for the cash to settle... which is a 2 day process... so yeah, that would present a problem to "trading as much as you want".

[@jaysequeiraoficial3163]

it applies to cash accounts as well bro i always get a warning after a couple trades in the day, because when you sell your stock "you dont get your money right away" until 1 or 2 days later so basicly they dont want to be responsible for money that hasnt even cleared

[@Justinl12086]

PDT does not apply to cash accounts. You may get a warning, but your account will not and cannot be shut down. PDT only applies to margin accounts. Call TD Ameritrade customer service and ask about it if you want a professional answer to your concern.

[@claytrader]

But what Jay is talking about is you need to let the cash "settle" before you can use it again. So yeah, it's not the PDT rule, but it's the "cash settlement" rules that still present a problem.

[@jaysequeiraoficial3163]

[@gregwehrmeister4212]

Do you have private mentoring with your training program?

[@claytrader]

Hi Greg, yes, I do.

[@gregwehrmeister4212]

Dose that come with the program or is it extra!

[@gregwehrmeister4212]

So I like everything you offer but, sometime you need someone to stand over your shoulder and hold your hand for a bit, so to speak to help connect the dots. I just can’t buy a program and then text or email and not be able to have an open dialog, it has to be live support screen sharing ect... there are a lot of education programs out there but the ones that offer someone to help you in the case you need an hour of their time to walk you through those are the ones I want. Can you be be more specific about your private mentoring, as to who , what , when and where. This is the piece of education I am most interested in. Anyone can produce videos and sell and program, but not many actually put themselves out there to actually help their students seceded in their course material.

I have been using an options trading simulation platform for since last several months.

Yikes if you don't define pennystocks and how you're using the term, this video is meaningless. People use the term differently. People that trade penny stocks (I spend all day with them) trade a variety of price ranges, and everyone has a different definition of this. What price range are you talking about? I know millionaire traders that mostly short penny stocks. What you are saying is true, but it's over blown, and I think that defining your term would clear a lot of this up.

The price is irrelevant because they're all still "stocks" and therefore have to deal with the hassle of the PDT rule.

I call bullshit; I can show you proof that you can make money in penny stocks. Trade them; don't invest as many struggle to get out of penny land. Treat it like any trade on any stock at any price level. Don't take a position that you can't handle. I guess buying 2250 shares at 1.13 and selling at 1.30 is gambling You sound like an emotional hater Watch the candles like any trade and time entry and exit This guy will say don't trade penny stocks but you will find him all across penny stock stocktwits rooms stating his opinions yet here he is saying don't trade them. I guess he likes to waste his time doing chart analysis on penny stocks smh
