Trading Rules: The 3 Types of Trades and How to Execute Them

[@thrls]

Perfect video, just what I needed. This has been a year with many move-to-move trades, and my strategy of long home runs hasn't been working well, many small paper cuts that added to substantial losses.

[@smbcapital]

the top traders this year have all been focused on move to move or scalping

[@thrls]

@@smbcapital that's a great alpha drop, thanks!

[@Vasili_Wears_Shorts]

really looking forward to the reason2sell follow-up - Garrett + Jeff combo is always appreciated!

[@textrader2482]

Exactly the problem I’ve finally recognized in my trading, and working on. The internal arguments you mention are spot on. Such a helpful video. Thanks SMB!

[@smbcapital]

Thanks a lot Tex! wishing you luck

[@eternalharriet]

SMB is telepathically releasing content the same time i struggle with the concept at hand. Also halfway through "One Good Trade", should have read it a year ago, so many relevant anecdotes, Mike Bella is sandbagging his power in these vids, he is a monster coach.

[@dr4t]

It took me almost a year to slowly understand these types of trades exist and to define them into something actionable, and then I stumble on this video that's exactly on point and explains everything in 30 minutes! Where were you 1 year ago?! :)))

[@matthewchuckherstrom9959]

To everyone involved in making this video, and all SMB Capital videos: thank you!! I can't say thank you enough!! The fact that you spend all this time to produce all this content, and then allow beginner traders like me to access it for free....well, karma should definitely be on your side, thanks, again!!

[@frenchdna3727]

REALLY liked this one. Biggest loss of the year was when I turned a scalp into a "Trade2Hold". My best trades on the other hand? When I stick to my tried & tested m2m. Knowing what trade you're in and the associated Reason2Sell is absolutely key. Great content from the SMB team here, and that's coming from someone who trade FX in London.

[@smbcapital]

I'm sure that was a big lesson for you. Many have fallen into that one. and thanks for the nice words

[@frenchdna3727]

@@smbcapital Lost the equivalent of six figures in US dollars of personal money in less than 24h so yeah, I don't plan on making that same mistake again anytime soon! haha Surreal that I can lose this much and laugh about it now (I didn't at the time though). My first ever job was €25k/year... Plan your trade, trade your plan, journal, review, repeat!

I love you guys, during this Canadian Thanksgiving, I am thankful of the knowledge you offer to us

thank you! enjoy Canadian thanksgiving!

[@losttrader2621]

I watch many of your videos and found this to be one of the better. It really hit home to me some of the principles discussed in other videos and the "Playbook". Thanks for the content!

[@justicewatch4602]

I'm still skeptical.

[@justinrojas4357]

Great video. Would love to see more about trade2hold and move2move conditions.

We'll definitely be covering this more

[@smbcapital]

Thanks Nadim!

[@sinvermerlas5331]

wow, did'nt actually see it this way. this is awesome SMB team! thank you as always! i realized i actually like slow volatile types of markets, this helps trim my stock selections way better. i do trade volatile from time to time but can't often in a week because of the PDT rule. hahaha but still, this is a huge thing ^_^

[@singledoutpictures6742]

Amazing content. Move 2 Move now makes sense

[@smbcapital]

glad it brought it all together for you

[@JenMarco]

Great video!! I’ve noticed a lot of times I’ll get in a scalp and if I start thinking it could squeeze and I change my plan, I end up messing up. I’ll keep this in mind. Thanks for this information

[@chr971]

Really insightful video, Thanks! Faced the exact situation today. What initially seemed scalp trade by observing the tape turned out to be move2move trade. But it was helpful to first complete the scalp and the reenter for move2move as risk/reward are completely different in both.

[@bhobba]

Excellent video.

[@smbcapital]

Thank you Bill

[@lucrativetea]

@SMBcapital I love all you guys videos, but your concept on this specific topic i may disagree with. My Strategy is based on turning my scalps into move2move/Trade2Hold day trades .Always with scalping mentality for entry, then read and react for the hold. I feel doing it this way may be better for a trader psychology and alleviates alot of emotional issues most traders have, but this all depends on that specific traders strategy/Edge in the markets and personality of course. Always love to learn new things,but this is one of the reasons why I'm scared to join a firm. It might take away from my creativity. Very interesting perspective.... Love it.

[@moonboyblues2275]

I understand everything here besides knowing when to short on the move to move above the trend line.... Guessing it's the tape as this newb has 0 experience "reading the tape". Any help would be massively appreciated. Trading crypto if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance!

garrett & jeff are a good video combo...i really like the vids they're doing..

Always consistently great education from SMB! This is one of the best. Thank you! No offense at all to the guys, but just curious if you have any women traders.

[@smbcapital]

thank TraderGurl! We have had women traders and would love to see more get into trading. We have been noticing more and more getting into it as of late

[@truth2224]

I needed this, thank you!

[@smbcapital]

you are welcome!

[@cb48906]

Thank you both Garrett and Jeff. I kept loosing on positions because I was entering Morning Move-to-Move Weekly Breakout Trades with a Scalpers mindset during this week of Earnings. I kept stopping myself out the second the tape would change, right before the market would run as expected. This video is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you again.

[@marcojuarez3358]

I have learned so much from you people you are amazing... Great videos always...

[@moonlightandsunshine6875]

This is like thunder into my ❤

[@timj4755]

If you see this...would you be willing to give some point amounts for each of these? Points on a move to move for example...50-100 ? Just wondering what is a good daily point goal for NQ . In my mind a " scalp" for a point or 2 just means you are exiting too early or trailing too close.

[@smbapplicantross884]

Another great video Jeff! I've found its also important to distinguish between each type of trade in different markets. Some pay more than others at different times, and this can be a source of edge.

[@craighernandez2254]

Excellent video! I have struggled with this and had to set very specific parameters for each type of trade and I’m still working it out.

Eventually i will change brokers but webull is very good if your an options trader especially if your just starting out no commissions and if you switch it to a cash account from a margin account you dont get any day trading rules you can just trade the amount of cash you have and once you used it all the next day it will be available to do it again.

exactly my issue..When scalp is successfull I try to turn it to Move to move instead of taking my money..and when 3-to-1 RR move-to-move is in my favor, I try to turn it to 10-to -1 home runner instead of fixing what market gives.. seems to be Im just to greedy.
