I’ve never been a day-trader, but just wanted to educate myself on the workings. I felt like I was back in high school! This version is so simplified! Definitely an excellent watch! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@claytrader]

Thanks.

[@mikemerr]

I'm new at trading and the lingo. there are so many informative teachers on here (KZbin) that speak in a way that is easy to understand, but it seems your style of teaching has really struck a chord with me. thank you for all the simplistic insight!

Just saying the fact that you run a youtube channel and teach this stuff instead of being a fake guru and promoting your website is amazing to me keep grinding and posting the content man love it glad to find someone that actually teaches for once instead of pumping you full of motivational quotes and selling you a product

Thanks so much for sharing, I am so new to trading that I am in an incubator but your videos gives me hope and the confidence that I can do this, your work is appreciated and you are valued.

[@claytrader]

[@reyngel]

Thanks for this! So many people explain PTD, but don’t take the time to go through what a day trade actually is and isn’t. Took me until this video to understand that a day trade is full OR partial

[@claytrader]

Thanks so much for clearing up the confusion for beginners! Really appreciate your work!

Damn clay thanks for the clearing up the rules day trades. Sucks the government implemented this rolling period.

[@claytrader]

Yeah, annoying for sure!

[@mindbodyfitness99]

Hi Clay, Just started trading on Webull. I watched this video BEFORE I started and it only made half sense to me. Now that I'm actually in it, I know I have to watch this video and your other videos over and over to get it. I only have $100 in my account, right now. I knew if I threw a few K in my account, I would have been sorry because I still have so much to learn. Even with just $100, I've already learned a lot! Ya. There are 100s of other trading videos on YT, but I'll stick to yours. You have a humble way about you that keeps me and, I believe a whole bunch of others, coming back. Please keep making these videos and helping us out. It is appreciated. When I grow up, I want to be a part of your live trade chat!! :)

[@claytrader]

Thanks for the feedback and kind words Pam!

[@BrianVelez]

I have a question! Since you purchased 500 shares and you got two partial fills equal to 400, is it possible to sell 500 that same day? Since you already are committed to the order? Or it wouldn’t be a possibility until the whole order goes through?

[@claytrader]

You could do 500.

[@claytrader]

@@jasonsaari3213 cool

[@gerardbermejo4415]

im only starting to learn about this but i hope your channel will really open my mind to it

[@claytrader]

Great! Thanks for watching

[@joeynill4768]

Hi clay. When you make an order of 500 ABC shares and only get a partial fill of 400, are you able to start selling the 400 shares that you have, or do you have to wait until the order of 500 shares is complete?

[@claytrader]

Good question. You can start the sell the immediately.

[@swamification]

I don't know a thing about stocks or day trading. A friend is day trading and suggested I give it a try. I learned a lot from my first video, which means a lot because I'm a stone cold beginner. I'm intrigued to learn more. Thanks for your clear instruction

[@claytrader]

[@sspencer3356]

Thanks Clay for explaining this pointless government regulation.

[@claytrader]

You're welcome Scott.

[@yashwanth243]

I love your explanation. Explain this : buy 500 Buy 500 Sell 501 Sell 499 How many day trades? I'm assuming 2 as it counts entering transaction.

[@claytrader]

No idea

[@wmfelber]

Wow that was an amazing intro into trading , clear and easy to follow Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I have a question regarding this lesson. If you were to buy 500 shares that would be your opening order , now if you sell 250 in the same day I understand that would be one day trade , so now what happens if you sell the remaining 250 shares the next day or some other time in the future? Would that just be considered a regular trade? I apologize if this is a silly question but I am just starting my education on trading I am a blank slate. Thanks again Clay!

[@claytrader]

That'd just be a regular trade because it was not done in the same day.

[@bwalyasalimu]

this is a fair question considering that you are junior in this industry. i like it

[@Mrdvds1]

Clay this was very helpful. Thanks!!! Keep them coming.

[@timetorelaxfocus9642]

At 8:00 It can actually be 1, 2 or 3 day trades depending on some factors. True: The default automatically sells the oldest lots bought to newest. Alternate method 1) You can change this with your broker to be the other way around, selling newest lots first. Alternate method 2) You can individuallu choose which lots to sell, even partial amounts of those lots. So, while using the default, this would be 3 trades. Using Alternative method 1: (reversing order with broker) you could sell and have 1 day trade. Using Alternative method 2: You could sell the 400 shares = 1 day trade, sell 200 of the 400 & the 200 stack equaling 2 day trades, you could sell the 100 of the 100 stack, 200 of the 200 and 100 of the 400 equaling 3 day trades.

[@claytrader]

Just be sure to ask your specific broker first.

[@spyderman2]

When was this implemented? I am new and was watching live trading where they made multiple order. Anyone can answer please

[@claytrader]

2001 is the year. If you meet certain requirements, you can trade as much as you want.

[@pokerman177]

Started the day with 3 day trades remaining on my margin account, under 25k. Just bought 10 shares of a stock and then another 10 of the same. Still showed I have 3 day trades remaining. In the next single order I sold 15 shares of it and now it shows I have 2 day trades remaining, so 1 was used, even though I dipped into both orders. I do not believe the time frame of 4:45 thru 7:28 is correct. Will test the next trade in the video when my day trade comes back and will let you know the result. Again, thanks for the videos and the knowledge but it seemed to contradict my experience and what I read elsewhere.

If I buy/sell 3x same day on Friday..when can I buy again ? is it Monday? some people said i can buy it on Monday, my broker said I have to wait until Thursday to buy again. I don't know who is right. I thought you count only one week...after u passed one week, u can start all over again in a new week. What do you think Professor Clay?

I appreciate this a lot. I’ve learned a lot the past month. But I was curious about the rules. Cuz I wanted to buy a few different stocks on Monday & then sell them on Thursday or Friday. & I wasn’t sure how many times I can do that. So is a day trade only based off ones company stock. Like I can buy stocks from 10 companies & sell them all the same day & that’s fine. But I can buy the Same stock multiply times a day ( 3+ times in a week) & sale the same day then that’s day trading.
