[@rakeshsolanki2342]

I m trading for couple of years continuously, not successful, but I m working on my unique small time frame scalping with risk management with high levarage strategy...hope all goes well....any way I really want to join SMB...I'm basically forex, indices and commodity trader......

[@tonysilke]

With so few stocks driving up the latest rally and the majority of "traders" looking to "get rich quick" as the shin comes off those profits, it's time to realize "you'll never go broke taking profits." Buffett is also selling! I'm still uncertain about selling my $200k portfolio, considering its recent significant decline.

[@Dannyholt33]

Don't sell; avoiding trying to time the market and incurring unnecessary taxes. Stay grounded and focus on the long term!

[@PatrickLloyd-]

That's why I've entrusted a fiduciary with my investment decisions. Many underestimate advisors until emotions lead to losses. My fiduciary crafted a tailored strategy aligning with my long-term goals, guiding entry and exit points for the equities I focus on. This has grown my portfolio to $700k, generating sufficient dividends for my household's needs.

[@hankmarks69]

Hey there, my retirement portfolio has been underperforming recently, and I'm considering a strategy change with the help of an advisėr. Is it possible to get in touch with your advisėr?

[@PatrickLloyd-]

'Vivian Carol Gioia' deserves credit as one of the finest portfolio managers in the industry. Her reputation precedes her, and I highly recommend looking her up to locate her online if you are internet-savvy.

[@hankmarks69]

Thanks for this. I curiously searched for her full name and her website came first. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her. Once again many thanks

[@jprivasb]

I am a living and walking proof of the SMB process, specifically of Justin's teachings and coaching. He is a great trader and one of the best trading coaches I have seen in the industry. I am the trader I am today because of Justins's guidance. Thanks to his mentoring, I am a profitable trader. Even at my stage, I still seek his advice and recommendations, like those in this video. Trading is a challenging but rewarding profession. Trying to do this alone is insane. Every professional athlete in any discipline has a coach, and trading is no different. Justin has been mine, and I will continue to seek his guidance until I stop trading. There are more Coaches at SMB, and I bet you all have the pros and cons, but one thing is for sure: a great Firm is backing up them full of resources that will help you at any time, at any stage of your trading career. Thank you, Justin and SMB.

[@entrepreneurialjunkie]

After reading The Playbook, I'm doing all of this now. Love all of the real, factual educational content! You've helped me tremendously.

[@christopherk7920]

a) Know when to get out before you even get in b) do not take another trade until the current one has SL at BE has changed much of how I trade the FX mkt. The 3 strikes rule is a way to prevent you from over and/or revenge trading. Wonderful advice there and thank you

[@Jennyuk1]

Stocks extended their year-to-date rally following the CPI report, with the S&P 500 last up 0.8% in afternoon trading. but I don't know if stocks will quickly rebound, continue to pull back or move sideways for a few weeks, or if conditions will rapidly deteriorate.I am under pressure to grow my reserve of $250k.

[@Kimdavid109]

It's really hard to beat the market as a mere investor. It's just better if you invest with the help of a professional understands the market dynamics better.

[@Lettyogle]

Picking stocks is a risky thing to do, particularly for non-professionals. I learnt that in 2020, when I lost almost everything. But I switched to using a financial advisor and I've been returning at least $38k every month so I’ve been sticking to investing via an Advisor.

[@gracegomez109]

I’ve been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?

[@Lettyogle]

LINDA PEREZ LEWIS That’s my licesed Financial advisor you can easily look her up, Thank me later!

[@gracegomez109]

Thanks, I merely looked her up on Google and was highly impressed by her credentials; I got in touch with her because I need all the help I can get. I just set up phone call.

[@ericstone4624]

Thank you Justin. Always good to be reminded of simple but important concepts and rules.

[@JustinSperoSMB]

Thanks for watching Eric!

[@sanfrantrader]

Absolutely love the B-Roll footage of the traders actually trading while they speak. Much more of that please!

[@smbcapital]

noted!

[@MrGchiasson]

Did the same thing...'bottomed out' and stopped trading for a year.. So...studying methods..as you describe...will begin trading again in a month. Great 'info-video'.

[@anthonynewgent8004]

I wish I were a young man again. This is what trading is about. Justin thanks for laying it on the line.

[@guillaumerosselet1303]

Trade the direction of the vwap. I do the same with the 50SMA always trade in its direction regardless how enticing reversal opportunities may be.

[@aaronwilliams6808]

I use the 20ema, but i agree with you 1000%

[@rnas2621]

Another outstanding analysis from Justin. He delivers the best presentations on this channel.

[@JustinSperoSMB]

Thank you!

[@thealternativecontrarian9936]

You created some rules that are common and disciplined and recommitted yourself. Nice work.

[@sam229a]

Justin’s trading rules 1. Using the correct stop. 2:32 2. Avoid “death” by 1000 cuts via the 3 strikes rule. 4:33 3. No Trading Midday. 6:28 4. Trading in the direction of VWAP. 8:35 5. Setting Price alerts. 11:17 6. Only trading stocks in play. 12:22

[@howiesoc17]

The 'no trading during mid-day lull' is a big one. Trying to hop on a market move doesn't work nearly as well with the low volume during lunch. I find myself overtrading and getting beat up by the bid/ask spread more often than not. Even when I squeeze some profit out of lunch, it is rarely worth the time and mental strain required to do it.

[@JustinSperoSMB]

Might be the most important rule here!

[@KT-zx9jr]

Nice clip Mike and Justin.. Clean. Hope you are well. Awesome "risk on" day today. Thanks.

[@TBradFashionModel]

setting alerts is a must.....

[@leandrosilva6414]

Loving this videos! So much great info here! Thanks SMB!

[@yoginacharya2150]

Thank you for sharing. Awesome job Justin👏

[@juaneknath14]

very useful and helpful video thank you I am still learning in the nusantara fx community

[@_MTFA]

I have ran data for 3 years now and traded my strategy for about 2 with good success. Though I find I am by far my worst enemy. I will have a good 2 week run on winning trades and often get complacent and see a set up that has just 1 of my rules unmet and bam I take a hit. The data of my strat is very good with a very high hit rate when one appears "though not every day". I feel like I have done all the work yet lack one key trait. Discipline, more specifically long term discipline. I dont care much about the money trading offers for me its more that I want to see my personal progression in this Journey

[@sohailhines]

Always enjoy content from SMB Capital but this one was especially valuable and relatable. One question (please) - what's the exact anchor point (time) from previous day? Thank you.

[@silentbullet2023]

Thank you taking the time to enlighten us.

[@billymoore1795]

$CYBR earnings 8/8 morning strong possibility to beat!!! Would buy @Open tommorow!!

[@helloworld6330]

I think we have a poet here. A writer career could have been even more epic 😊

[@danielgarrett4230]

Well said. Never seen someone try so hard to not look like their reading a teleprompter.

[@Josh-Jones]

​@@danielgarrett4230 "they're" .. if you're going to insult someone giving out free information that you could benefit from, at least insult them with correct spelling and grammar.

[@rnas2621]

Who are you referring to? If Justin, he would be referring back to his own notes, not someone else's. What's the point of memorizing all that someone wants to share in a presentation. Wouldn't it be more benefitial for the listener/audience if the presenter followed their bullet points/outline, to make sure they've covered all they intended to share?

[@cal4865]

$DIS bottom tip : Go out after next earnings today with 50M !!!

[@chilatelover]

Thank you Justin and SMB. Notes taken. Between this and Lance's videos I'll be going platinum soon

[@mbellafiore19]

Let's go!

[@MrSmokinBeats]

Fantastic video, towards the end Justin mentions another video and in the top corner it pops up Title Most Important Trading Skill. I cannot find this video, or see a link to it on the screen. Confused after a long day trading. But like everyone else love the content SMB provide, so thank you very, very much, all of you at SMB...

[@smbcapital]

here is the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5XFq4KOqMmVbq8

[@MrSmokinBeats]

Super thank you, I will watch it when I finish for the day..@@smbcapital

[@AssyrianTrader]

All these guys you bring on always speak about the same thing. Use a stop loss, trade what’s in play and etc…. But none of this matter if you are not thinking correctly about trading. They way you think will determine your equity curve. Understand that every price movement is completely random. There is no way to 100% predict the next move up or down. Same thing goes with your next trade. There is no way to know if it will work or fail. All we can control is our stop loss and profit taking. Make your position size ,stop loss and profit target predefined and I Guarantee You that you will find the result’s your looking for.

[@Amwatson801]

Glad to see Justin back and looking forward to a continuation of the bar-by-bar series!

[@cal4865]

Forgot about $LYFT tomorrow might be another $UBER 3M out! Size November options in my opinion!

[@blackmancer]

[@prettybrwneyez7757]

This was great! Thank you ❤

[@cal4865]

$Coin beat today aftermarket in my opinion

[@apathyreview3964]

Algo trader here. 90 percent of most firms volume is from algo trading. Just wondering if it's the same with you guys.

[@DeltaScalper]

What is the company good for if trader has to figure the whole thing out on his own ?

[@mintech1000]

so happy for you Justin

[@TheBlueskyson]

Hi crew. is VWAP useful on higher time frames such as Daily and 4 hour? ty 4 interesting vid. Good job Justin

[@MichaelChean]

Great video!

[@theccieguy]

Thanks.

[@richardnisaf3062]

😮,thx for this information

[@lightofmylife1616]

what is the reasoning behind only trading stocks in play? Do the HFT machines shut off only when the stock has elevated volume?

[@isaacgallarin6008]

Very interested in joining SMB! Will sign up! :)

[@reallyeasy5088]

I love this channel

[@smbcapital]

[@thecaptain3068]

Sounds like a days of our lives drama tv show.

[@MakeamericaGreatagain-h7j]

After a rally that defied high interest rates and recession calls, stock valuations are now edging toward levels seen before some of the greatest market meltdowns in history My portfolio has been dwindling despite the S&P 500 doing well. It's frustrating. About 30% of my $580K portfolio has been lost in 4 months. How do I turn this around?

[@DreamweaverShade-h9p]

In my books not your fault, the stock market seems to be more of a casino for gamblers now than a place for investors.Its your duty to properly research, buying now does not guarantee a rebound

[@Damncars456]

Having an investment adviser is the best way to go about the stock market right now, especially for near retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for awhile now and I made over $800K from an initial 450K since Q2

[@Defisher]

How do I find this financial counselor ?

[@Damncars456]

I've shuffled through a few advisors in the past, but settled with 'Nicole Desiree Simon' her service is exemplary. I'd suggest you research her further on your browser, sure you'll find her basic info.

[@Defisher]

Thank you for this tip. it was easy to find your mentor. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé

[@holfytempowerment5609]

Excellent content

[@cal4865]

$MDB $WM potential upside!!

[@user-zs6qf5uj5m]

Thanks bud for keeping us financially Educated! Regardless of how bad it gets on the economy, I still make over $19,000 every single week...

[@cal4865]

$GPN Strong Buy today after earnings November options!!! 25M in my opinion!!!

[@jopronyc837]

i could really work ms&b ? that would be life changing

[@cal4865]

Banks today in play $GS $JPM

[@oceanwave4142]

Why do you not trade something more scalable like the indices or gold?

[@cal4865]

Buying $PINS at these levels 1/17/25 50M

[@pmtix9819]

damn yall are legit greatness. put me in coach!!

[@MrSimonw58]

1 entire year of losing .... wow

[@us00099]

uper or lower bnb ta best

[@sartajbhullar3782]

if someone knows how to make money they never disclose it to others . Simple as that

[@pcmendes1973]

The video link isn’t working

[@smbcapital]

Which link?

[@Optiontrader61]

1 year of losses. That's nothing. I'm way beyond 1 year of losses.

[@colincole7075]

You got four computer screens in front of you which you can't do that on a mobile phone 😂

[@Jesus_christ_is_Lord_7]

WOW Justins really focusing on them cue cards on the side really well on this fake story :( shame.

[@JustinSperoSMB]

It's 100% a true story and yes I'm reading from a script that I wrote. Thanks for watching!

[@paul-ku]

chat gpt generated text script, it sounds so boring

[@adamcannon7776]

😅lol this video complicates trading and seems outdated, you can scalpe the 1 min or 5 using basic price action/ smart money principles and as long as you stick to a proper RR kill it

[@bpenguin]

How are traders allowed to lose for a year straight at SMB of all places?

[@ryugurena3327]

I think they start them off with small amounts of money

[@connormcchicken5915]

Also, are these guys on payroll?

[@smbcapital]

traders are paid initially. None of the traders fund their own accounts. The firm does that for them

[@bpenguin]

no. My understanding is they have to do well to make money.@@connormcchicken5915

[@cal4865]

$EW $LW $CMG $SWK $JPM

[@tbremard]

This speach presented as testimonial, is just smelling 200%non authentic and 100% hidden marketing promotion for their workshop targeting poorly educated retailers

[@PAYDAYHEDGE]

is he reading out of a script

[@Kiwi_Dave]

Not very convincing any of this is true when he is just reading a script.

[@BagHolder323]

Why do these guys always read from a teleprompter? Tell us in your own words. # nocred
