Learn How to Become a Better Day Trader
In no way is day trading stocks easy. That said, as a beginner trader, you can learn from the mistakes of others and save a lot of money. At Investors Underground, we teach traders to refine their trading strategies and maximize their potential to make money in the stock market. While this is not a science, we rely on certain principles to add more structure to the seemingly chaotic markets.
Technical Analysis and Chart Reading
We utilize pattern recognition strategies to create high probability trading opportunities. By analyzing stock charts and market data, we can take the emotion out of day trading and increase our odds of making money in the markets. These concepts are discussed in-depth in our educational trading courses.

[@cranejayromano]

Very helpful video. It was great that you showed us the laptop monitor extension. I only have a laptop and knowing now that I can add a monitor to it takes the pressure off buying a complete desktop setup. Thank you!

[@charlievalenzuela3344]

I can't get enough of this. This is exactly what I've been looking for since i started studying ony trading over a year ago. Thanks so much

[@rickovadia1713]

I find the lessons on the actual chart the most effective, it went to fast for me, so more chart work and less text is the way for me to learn. Love your work and I see I'm going to need the DVD's

[@Mikester9191]

I like that Das is a Native application. Think or Swim is basically a web-application written with web tech.

[@ato9936]

Wow, thank you Cam. I will be contacting you very soon; I only have a paper trading account at the moment but I have had it for a while. Will give more details in email, just wanted to say you're doing great!

[@rmb7355]

Wow Cam, the view from your office is beautiful! What city are you guys in?

[@ryandoherty7993]

brilliant videoo

[@kylekremser3730]

Does the DAS program allow for paper trading to practice in real time markets to get used to the software?

[@ioan-andreibatinas9546]

can you give the setup for das? i have a trial account and i would love if you gave the setup for your defferent windows. I saw you can import or save them in the file -> open/save desktop

[@danielmcgrane5698]

With respect to the SSDs, I would highly recommend going with PCIe instead of SATA, you will see a huge difference in IO.

[@zerodavis520]

hi there, just wondering that does this apply to Australia market as well ?? or only US market? thankssssss

[@thomaspansing1331]

Is DAS available on Mac platform - or web based so any PC or Mac can use?

[@HB-jv7sd]

Do you have any suggestions for a free practice trading software?

[@prithvimahesh7823]

whens the next video of the series coming?

[@rmb7355]

Any idea if the DAS Platform provides "Paper Trading" for beginners?

[@robj9898]

cam with das trader are still limited to the 3-4 trades per 5 days if your account is small?

[@MegaRan1]

Which Software do you prefer for Canadian traders buying US stocks, bcz I can't log in into the DAS from Canada?

[@christiantiessen5243]

That view! Where are you trading from?

[@Kometheus]

I was thinking the same thing :)

[@janisskraustins4037]

What do you think about trading platform "Plus500"?

[@Kamis_is]

I can listen to your voice till the end of my (battery's) life...!

[@orange2115]

which das package would you recommend for someone new with limited funds? can you buy/sell stock on das inc yourself, or do you need a broker to do it for you? thanks

[@investorsunderground]

Please watch lesson 6 of the series

[@orange2115]

[@fredgodfrey2866]

I'm new at day trading I have been doing research and I have been trying to find a Demo account to practice. Do you recommend any specifically ?

[@Remembering-rq6si]

Yeah. I recommend investing. You WILL lose money if you day trade.

[@zahidrefad5991]

[@jimmybrokos4610]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@obijuan3004]

Solid State drives last longer if you have a lot more space than you need.

[@johnwayne2103]

Thanks for the free videos. The power of your machine is not relevant to someone who is just getting started into trading. Yes you explained why you need the rad setup but the point is moot to someone just starting out so all they really need is a laptop that can run their brokers software and maybe an external monitor. watching more than one trade at a time for a newbie might be too much because they need to get the swing of things before they have a set up like the bridge of the Star Ship Enterprise. If that was my machine I would install the OS on a smaller solid state and get additional sold state drives for saving important files to, or with today's machines you can set them up in a raid which would be the preferred method. Could storage is an option if you trust your financials there. I don't.

[@CrimsonYetiCartoons]

Bro... how much did that sexy 1 TB SSD cost you? $500 bucks? SSDs are life, fam. Also, ToS from TDA is a fantastic free service for any account size. I recommend it for starters too. (If you don't mind that $10 brokerage fee lol).

[@investorsunderground]

It was a couple of years ago, so when those big SSDs were kinda new and expensive . . I think it was like $800 . . Now you can get them for much less !

[@misterfosterdulles]

CrimsonYeti yeah, I've used DAS, tradestation , interactive, a d really I happen to happy with TOS...they gave me a nice deal on commissions after a bit, so that's where I'm at today, but things change as I change learn and grow

[@kevinnowar8451]

R u still active?

[@joshuahaewardii8540]

[@JacobCain86]

Soooo... did this project get dropped?

[@investorsunderground]

Jacob - I replied to you on your previous comment on vid 1 Between trading / helping run the IU community / answering Qs for our subscribers etc, its hard to keep up with the one-vid-a-week schedule . . Market has been hot, trading and IU come first. . . Going to be trying to have 6th vid out by tomorrow - Its free content, have some patience - If you want full access to everything now, then you can look at an IU subscription - Cam

[@JacobCain86]

+Investors Underground Awesome! Thanks Cam!

[@nallegjermis5849]

Can always build your computer yourself and save 200-300USD

[@Remembering-rq6si]

Oh, yeah. That's no problem at all. Just like when I built a BMW to save $75,000.

[@October-fo3bz]

HAHAHAHAAH NATE HAD TO HAVE A BETTER SET UP THAN YOU LOOL

[@rich_x_x]

GREAT LESSON CAM, "but".... it's 2017, MACBOOK...........
