The Basic of Scalping Stock Indices - part 1

[@alexzweimorgenland.7094]

Dear Tom, I just want to tell you that I am grateful for your work. I know you have received regrettable feedback for your live trading and even for your book. You have stated multiple times - as always in immaculate and precise english - that we, those that follow your work are solely responsible for our trading. I know how I would feel If I was in your place. In 30 years I have maybe written 2 comments on KZbin, but I can't help this one: Thank you Tom. You are clearly sincere, you kept me from quiting and I bet Dr. Paul is very proud of you. Viele liebe Grüße aus Deutschland Tom! Dankeschön ❤️

[@viking8889]

An important factor I learned trading NQ futures for the past two years is to be patient and wait for the market to trend or break out of a consolidation. Trading in a tight range is a good way to grind your account quickly and become emotional.

[@michaelmike5709]

Yes , you are so right - It’s like forcing love,

[@crazyhead1588]

Idk you might have realised if you patient the market present it self with set ups which you can trade but even me I just want to trade and get off the screen but when I come back that night to analyse I see that if I had waited like 30 more minutes I could have had the most perfect trade which would have been under my set up too patient is key in this game I realised

[@bmwardo]

Hello Tom, after scalping the last year and a half or so I'm really impressed with how you are verbally describing the price action and defining these tricky situations. I'm slowly starting to see what I "feel" are good bull or bear scalp setups but watching and listening to you here helps so much in actually labeling and describing what is going on. Thanks!

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.

[@brittanynicolette9473]

The US-Stock Mrkt had been on it’s longest bull-run in history, so the mass hysteria and panic is relatable considering we’re not accustomed to such troubled mrkts, but there are avenues lurking around if you know where to look. My wife and I are retiring this year with over $7,000,000 in tax deferred investments. up until 3 years ago we were 100% in the S&P. During bear markets we had a perfect plan. We got an investment manager in our corner and didn’t look at our portfolio for nearly a year.

What I saw in the last part was that you would e been stopped out more times than not when the price kept moving up and down and ultimately went up. The beginning was understandable but after the initial big move up, t he ere wasn’t enough action to not get stopped out unless the stops were extremely large which is not smart.

[@LennieClausen_dk]

Hello, level 2 data is indeed useful. But you can train your eyes to see the levels. The internet and youtube are full of people trying to sell you fancy indicators, prem courses, and live rooms. But to be successful you got to take the time and make your own plan. What good for you. What timeframes are best for you, what risk levels, what setups, etc? You got to plan your trades and trade your plan. And be aware most youtube channels just try to sell you stuff. The easy path to trading will most likely be the wrong path.

[@johngreydanus2033]

Any questions? Yes, did anyone see the conflict of the Buy (or Sell) on close and the part where he explains when there is a green (or red) bar, the natural instinct is to Buy (or Sell) but we should do the opposite? I guess it is in the context of the recent price actions, or perhaps it has to be a momentum bar? I'll watch again and grab the timestamps in case anyone replies to this.

[@LennieClausen_dk]

Do you have a timestamp - and I'll try to give the answer your question deserve.

@@LennieClausen_dk 20:15 is the start of Buy on Close, 5 Min charts, this is for trending markets, 38:40 is where he explains ranging markets and this is where it can be best to do the opposite, so I got it, going to watch Pt 2 and much much more, thanks to you and Tom.

[@The_God611]

will this work for forex as well?

[@abdulazizalmandil2680]

Just started trading and your videos have been very helpful! Yet I am a bit confused. So these are the criteria for buying on close. Note I will refer to everything as bullish because bearish would be the exact opposite. - if we have a full blown bullish candle with zero to no tail or wix then we go long because it appears that there is momentum in the bullish market - if a level of resistance has been established from previous higher highs/lows the same day and a candle manages to break above it but doesn't close above the level of resistance, i.e the candle's body doesn't surpass the level of resistance then we will go short . Are there any other criteria for entry if so may you please reply to this comment with the list of criteria of entries and I learnt from your videos that take profits are special to every market however may you elaborate a bit more on that. Best regards,

[@LennieClausen_dk]

Hello Matt You can use this on any chart. However, I would not scalp single stocks or FX.

[@adriatic123]

Take advice from 25 years of experience. It is literally impossible to be long-term profitable by scalping or day trading. Main reason is catch 22. if you put stop too close huge volatility and hectic moves will stop you too many times to count. If you increase stop your profit will have to be bigger which is almost impossible to reach due to the high volatility and too many changes of direction

[@bobhill2483]

Exactly. One of the eye opening moments for me was watching the video "PROOF That Forex is RANDOM" To be honest there is a bit of predictability in high frequency trading but for retail trader is entirely buried under cost of spread. This industry is all about squeezing money out of wannabe traders.

Most of the time it is not a % but a fixed amount.

[@braydenbledsoe3252]

I'm a 4:1 trader so I'm swimming in losses 68.75% of the time. 31.25% of the time I'm right. I'd rather trade a fixed amount than a constant 1%. It's not unheard of for me to see 10 trade losses in a row occasionally. But I'd hate to see 10% of my account gone. That doesn't sit well with me.
