Recipe for a good cake 1. Focus on stocks in top 30 industry groups (of 197) 2. No low price stocks ($10 or higher) 3. At least 200k shares a day 4. Composite rating of 90 or higher 5. RSI of 85 or higher 6: Accumulation distribution of A or B 7. Stocks within 20% of 52 week highs Great stuff!!!

[@TradeRisk]

Yes! So nice for Patrick to share that criteria.

[@haneyguitarinstruction6260]

How would this work if I want to swing trade ES FUTURES only. 1 point equals $50. On the daily you might need 120 point stop or $6000 risk minimum

[@hasantao]

That is relative strength rating (not RSI). RS shows the performance of stock against SPX (or another benchmark index).

[@InJunoWeTrust]

I've listened to hundreds of trading interviews with a plethora of people. This is one of my all time favorites. Patrick is a gem.

[@TradeRisk]

He sure is! Thanks for the comment Steven, so glad to hear it.

[@toncuz8291]

Let it ride...just let it ride and let profits run....No wait...Reduce risk! Reduce risk!...Always have your stops in! This is why 99% of stock gurus are full of crap.

Amazing video. God sent. I was about to quit this game. Lost 30% of my account. Doing all the stupid things. Wrong entry, wrong exit, wrong stock, all of it. Thank you for this video. Within 30 minutes into the video I was googling this guy. I will give it another shot with these tips. Thank you.

[@TradeRisk]

[@ShaysKitchen]

[@amaliac.9705]

Super-awesome interview, so many golden nuggets. Thank you so much for this sharing of wisdom.

[@georgecarlin2879]

For me the best line from Patrick is (in addition to Protect capital, financial and emotional!) is: "Isn't that what you want?" LOL! So wwesome! Simple patterns and strong sector and momo names, so that MANY others see the price action and join in.

[@satoriag]

Great content as always Evan! Patrick provided some great gems during the interview!

[@TradeRisk]

Right on thanks, Gary!

[@buksplayground4331]

[@TradeRisk]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@monk3608]

Thank you for sharing your experience. The information and helpful advice put out in this interview was priceless to a new trader like me. If the last video hadn't already made me hit the Sub button, this one surely would have.

[@TradeRisk]

Exactly what I love to hear, thanks for the nice comment & sub!

[@brodienissen5888]

Great video!

[@TradeRisk]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@gatsbylight4766]

I appreciate a little bit of talk from someone with experience.... But, I tend to take it with a grain of salt when a *swing trader* says _"stay away from day trading",_ and when a *day trader* says _"stay away from swing trading",_ and when a *buy and hold investor* (Warren Buffett) says _"buy and hold quality stocks for the long term - nobody can time the market so stay away from day trading, swing trading, and momentum trading."_ *For the record:* Not only do I know plenty of scalpers/day traders who are *very* profitable - hell, there are even some who broadcast consistently profitable live scalping/day trading here on KZbin.

[@TradeRisk]

Yeah I hear you. Trading will always be very tribal. I can't speak for Patrick, so I won't put words in his mouth, but I do think there's a lot of evidence out there that shows the shorter your time-frame in the market the harder it all becomes. Doesn't mean it's impossible, it's just a hard place for a lot traders, but everyone needs to figure out what's right for them.

[@steveryan4410]

This information...should not be FREE.... Its gold... Iam so glad u have shared it...

[@TradeRisk]

Glad you enjoyed it Steve!

[@TheStrataminor]

I am trading under pressure at the moment...Pat really spoke to me here...I have the ability but the mental pressure of trying to produce has been so hard....thanks Pat...

[@TradeRisk]

Best of luck pushing through!

[@TheStrataminor]

@@TradeRisk Thanks kindly. I will get there if I don't push too hard but as Pat says, 'Trade what you see..."...so true!

[@LostNAsia]

Love the video, wish Pat's audio was just a bit better. that slight reverb, maybe that is it. gives me a headache. Hopefully, he can get that worked out. other than that he seems like a great teacher.

[@samuelsamuel9176]

[@alancook2378]

I think I'm in love with Patrick Walker. Great interview! The positivity, knowledge, and simplicity is first rate!

Glad we got there 😀

[@alexb4132]

Would love to see Patrick back to your excellent podcast again ! before 1987 happens again ,LOL

[@TradeRisk]

Haha thanks Alex! We'll have to make that happen.

[@toncuz8291]

[@IIImykidtvIII]

I love your guest but saying “it will go up if it goes up” and “let it tell you what to do” doesn’t give me much of an entry point 😂. I joke but I seriously liked this interview. It makes me want to find out more about him and his trading strategy. Thanks for the content

[@Ricky-hw5jd]

he is on Twitter and has his own youtube channel as well. Best thing about him honestly isn't the Entry Points it is his Exit's. So many people teach about entry's but very few teach exits. and that matters so much when you do take a lose.

[@elishe7467]

Hi, can you please upload to Castbox as well, thank you

[@TradeRisk]

Yes definitely, we're still waiting to be accepted in a handful of podcast apps, hopefully soon! Edit: you can find us there now: castbox.fm/channel/Smarter-Trading-id4084247

[@ShaysKitchen]

This would be good!

[@timmccarty8111]

I lost 45% of my account in the last 2 months day trading. I was up ealrier in the year. I kept doubling into losers instead of accepting losses. Depressed emotionally. Now i feel like I cannot move on anything. Desperate....any advice?

[@TradeRisk]

Sorry to hear about the situation Tim. I've had similar rough periods in my trading history and it's always very psychologically difficult and defeating. Here's a couple of pointers for you: 1) My advice on the emotional side: You need to take a step back and detach yourself from markets temporarily. You're too emotionally compromised to trade well, so take a break and reset. Acknowledge the losses, highlight the problem, & make a commitment to yourself to fix things. 2) My advice on the technical side: You already pointed out exactly what you did wrong, doubling down on losers. You need to come up with a process to avoid doing that in the future. Withdraw funds from your account and trade smaller to rebuild confidence and get back on track. You were positive at the start of the year, what changed? Was it the market environment or your actions? Starting with that question may help you get to a solution. I hope that helps.

[@timmccarty8111]

@@TradeRisk thanks for the advice. I took a few days off. Today I made a little. Baby steps, small positions. No more doubling down. I'll get bigger when I string together a few good weeks.

[@TradeRisk]

@@timmccarty8111 Good to hear. Take things slow. You got this!
