The Scalping Strategy to Make a Living Trading - John Kurisko | Trader Interview

[@doomlord_trader]

THIS VIDEO IS AN ABSOLUTE GEM ! I trade in a very very very similar way as the man said "pair it up with other indicators" and yeah , ive been mocked for getting excited on taking 4 5 points out of the market. End of the day i do that 10 15 times a day in and outside of the US trading session. Makes my living!

[@DesireToTRADE]

Glad you can relate to this! Well done!

[@ce8539]

People make fun of scalpers and im like...bro i get 8 poiints a few times a day imagine making 200-400 in the first few hrs of work then being able to go do other shit

[@thirdforceenugu9934]

The stoch setting

[@Zeezazz]

After 5 years I ve been profitable for the past six months. So glad I never gave up. Never give up.

[@3ye2]

how did you know you finally made it? was there a certain point where it clicked? Was it a new strategy that finally worked? or was it a strategy that you had been already doing for a while but the discipline and controlling yourself with the same strategy was what made you go from losing to profitable?

[@Zeezazz]

@@3ye2 Truthfully I don't know that I ve made it yet. I still feel like these profits could be fleeting. That being said I think I got honest with myself about the mistakes I was making and focused on removing these flaws instead of swinging for the fences every time. There was also a point of clarity where the info on the charts clicked.

[@sambhrantlamba]

@@Zeezazz is it possible for you to teach me? like not here in comments, 1 on 1. it would be nice to not waste so many years and learn from other's mistakes. and I'm not asking you to do it for free. let me know please.

[@Zeezazz]

@@sambhrantlamba Thanks for the request. I would love to start teaching at some point in the future. I ve trained many people in financial services but trading is definitely a unique challenge. I'm happy to give you some pointers for now and maybe more in the future

If you don't have 10 or 20 year data tested with your method, then I don't think you made it.

This type of interview is so much better than when you have those shills come on trying to pitch their prop firm or software package.

[@DesireToTRADE]

[@GretzkySanders]

He does have stuff to sell though. Which is fine...he deserves to charge for his guidance and skill. But don't say he doesn't have something to sell.

[@haid3r88]

​@GretzkySanders ofcourse, but at least it's going to be knowledge and guidance that he's selling. It's getting kind of annoying watching podcasts with what seem like pretty decent traders and then they go plug in their prop firm somewhere in the video, and ontop of that, next thing you know the channel they appeared on is now a sponsor of said prop firm

[@dominichubacek]

hes just another of those trying to sell you courses, there are many threads online that he never passed a single challenge, never showed any trade record/history from his real broker nor props. i watched his stream for the trial and ts mostly super sellout with 2 fat banners in your screen on which props you can trade. texted with one that tried his singals, he got a whopping 20% winrate lol

[@jeffreygrullon2962]

This man is a certified day trader. I trade on the 4hr using the weekly chart. The moves are huge but patience is a virtue. I used to trade the 15min for years and got slaughtered over and over and learned that the first thing to do is to trade according to your lifestyle and the 4hr for me is awesome because I don’t need to be glued to cpu. I do forex and usually catch between 40-300pips. Took me 5 years to be consistent on winning trades. Excellent quality in content. Keep up the good work.

[@sertaliozer1]

People who make fun out of scalpers should sit their ass down and watch the whole video. As a former scalper, I just don't have the patience but do have the discipline. I like to dabble in and out of the market. It also allows me to finish the day early when I have executed my plan correctly. No long hour chart watching and no emotional roller coaster with swing trades. Loved the interview!

[@wallstreetgrind1402]

Johnny is the man! This guy is the real deal... I've been a member of his site since 2009 and still tune in each and every day. If you haven't checked him out you really need to!

[@timonalexandr151]

Are you profitable?

[@wallstreetgrind1402]

@@timonalexandr151 yes, it’s my living. Johnny’s quad rotation strategy used with stochastics and RSI generally give me 2 great setups per day. When his setups have confluence with the SMC style I’ve also studied it’s 100%. Hope this helps

[@birdg2112]

Hey WSG! What’s his website? Thanks for your help.

[@Victor-Ike]

When I went to his website, I was like omg, someone is trying to sell something to us. But what I took away from this video is to focus on your own strategy and find your own edge. Everything in the market works including your strategy, but you need to know why it works for you and trade it long enough And you don’t need that much indicators. Price is king and it will tell you everything!

I can tell you firsthand that Johnny is the man! I started following him back in 2009 when i was 26 and here I am 41 years old still tuning in each day and taking money out of the markets consistently! His strategies definitely work, and combined with concepts I've learned from Michael Huddleston it's unstoppable

[@theautoman22]

I've developed a divergence trade on a higher timeframe using a different indicator then the stochastic with changed settings on the ES and now I know exactly how much drawdown I can expect and roughly how many points it will go. These trades are a beautiful thing and I love divergences!

[@robmccance]

Besides the divergences, I'm wondering if this is basically just using the D plot of the stoc to basically be moving averages across 4 different TFs? Besides the divergences, I see a lot of trades waiting for the slope of all four to be agreeing with each other. This would be roughly equivalent to monitoring 4 timeframes and waiting for all 4 TF MAs to have the same slope. (up or down)

[@jlbhk9030]

Same here! I used to listen to his streams back in 2008! He had to be one of the earliest guys doing this. he used to play music all day, not sure if he still does. I'll have to take a look again.

[@FredandChase]

Thank you for sharing. The trade locations you describe are the same locations that I have learned to exploit, although I've never seen anyone before be able to pick out those prime locations with any type of indicator. Bravo. Very nice. I couldn't folow the stochastics discussion because it sounds like mandarin chinese to me... but the locations are what I have learned to target on the map (the chart) by watching the bid/asks and executions in/around those locations. Trapped shorts (or longs) often stand out like a sore-thumb at those locations and then you can read the aggressive commercial traders taking advantage of the speculative environment. The reason why those location work so well is "A Trapped Buyer becomes a Distressed Seller" (and vice versa)... that is who we target.. distressed sellers or buyers. Nice job-- I enjoyed watching.

[@bulltraderpt]

What a great resurce! Foruntately the divergence occured to me early on so I am aware of it, but not with the specfic numbers this guy uses. Will check those out. Thanks for posting.

Scalping is the easist way to having a winning proti to loss percentage. Its also the hardest to be discplined in. Often times you will find something wou scalped for $200 ended upp 30 X'ing when you check it in the futre. But you must rationalize your objective is to scalp and noting else

[@jonathanm9793]

I exclusively use RSI and 12 years of research says that divergence is best read as a sign of a trend and less effective as a reversal trade, although it will work occasionally to fade the market if u scalp quick. It’s best to find a trend and identify a proper pull back (oversold condition in an uptrend, and I don’t mean a 30 reading, I mean oversold in a proper context, which means oversold in relationship to what price level…and an overbought condition in a downtrend). Then, identify either the lowest mathematical risk entry in terms of a trend validity test (zone) or wait for the trend continuation signal and then enter. I would tell u more, but I enjoy maintaining my edge in the markets.
