Trading Was HARD Until I Learned This… 💥 Small Account Challenge Days 10-15

[@subby4122]

Moved from paper trading account to a live account on thursday. Started with $370 and made $44 the first day. Yesterday i made a further $23. Purely trading micro pullbacks, momentum. Still aiming for 3% day, but so far exceeded that! So excited for the coming months to see if i can continue. Including both paper and live, been green 22 of the past 24 days at an avergae of 4.7% per day. Thanks for all the info Ross.

[@DaytradeWarrior]

Excellent work!!

[@matthewcaskey1051]

Aim for 10% once you hit 3 then 5 then 8 etc... but be picky look for your A+ strategy and play big on them!

[@paulforsell5197]

Yeah you need A+ set up , A+ approach to buying , and then A+ risk management or knowing when to take profit or cut your loss

Becoming a good trader takes time and patience. I was liquidated twice and lost my mortgage deposit when I started, but instead of giving up, I learned and practiced trading. Four years later, I'm glad I did. $430k accumulated till date.

Wow, this is excellent! As a beginner, it can be challenging to keep up with all this information. How do you stay informed? You must be an experienced trader with many years of experience to be that profitable.

Ross I've been watching for about a year now. One year ago I was at the lowest point of my life your videos and how you trade really helped me control my emotions irl and also trading kept my mind busy learning something new. I'm super excited to say I'm at much better position today mentally and super ready to start trading real money I funded my first account just $200 (it's what I had) but I made .10 cents on my first deal trade which was my goal. I just want to say thank you so much I wouldn't be where Im at without you. I still have so much learn and still continue to watch your videos old and new. Hopefully someday i can get into a position to afford your program because I truly do believe in it and you.

[@kalopsiac4414]

I’m theoretically 1 week away from going from sim to a cash account, theoretically because it’s if I can keep my accuracy up (overall 68%) and p/l (overall 1.3:1 currently) that I have in the sim from the last 4 weeks. Consistently hitting my daily/weekly goals, this week was crazy I had 88% acc and little over 17:1 p/l averaged over the week, market definitely heated up! Very thankful to be able to learn from Ross, very thankful for T1 to make this upcoming transition possible. I’m not usually one to actually start anything and learning for months and months before even dedicating to sim seems to be paying off so far, we will see how it goes! Good luck out there everyone

[@kalopsiac4414]

@@romycolorado good luck!! Sounds like trader rehab/sim is the way to go. I watched all his class type videos on here, some multiple times you can get a lot out of it without spending a dime, and while some people say he says the same things a lot, to me it speaks to his consistency and how his strategy really does work if you work it. If he said something in 2020 and hold to it through the fluctuations over the years I think it speaks volumes to the strategy. I did read (listen to) the book then get Warrior Starter while it was on discount, personally structure is really good for me so I enjoy it a lot. The software is 100% worth it in my opinion as well. I’m just starting small with a cash account and day 4 was today, only 100 share size aiming for 10c moves/day and I’m up 5.7% ($56.52) on 1k so far. Good luck in trader rehab I hope it goes well to get you back in gear 💪 rooting for you

Ross! Using what Ive learned from you has been the missing piece in my journey. Its like combining a compass to my map. Im trading in a very small cash account. Trading mostly 1 time per day. Becoming more disciplined everyday while I wait for high quality setups. I’ve mitigated losses and minimized their impact because of the setups. This month has been my highest percentage of wins to date. I really appreciate what you share!!

[@derekcitrano7651]

I’m using think or swim paper money. Is it slower to get in and out of trades on a real account?

[@rillyjo5810]

​@@derekcitrano7651it will be same. But if they find you with 25k then you most likely have a margin

[@theoaketree4246]

I've recently made an IBKR account and I've been trading on their real and paper trading accounts, and I can safely say that getting in and out of trades is easier/faster in paper trading. I forget where I heard this but I remember someone saying that it's because in paper trading, your order goes through as if you were one of the orders that got filled as the real market hit your price, however, on a real account you are one of the people fighting for a spot to get your order in, and not all orders get filled at the price everyone wants.

[@DaytradeWarrior]

Yes exactly!

[@cjack202003]

With the new PDT rule, you can basically day trade as much as you want....if you have the settled funds. Funds settle next day now! Very noice. Additionally, I only trade with settled funds. I don't care what my leverage is...I only trade what I actually have. "All day traders use margin accounts" Incorrect. You don't need a margin account to day trade. You need a margin account to short.

[@ncb1003]

I've traded from both margin and cash accounts, and have found that cash accounts are much like honeybees. You can't take advantage of selling on the peaks and buying on the dips. Once you've used up your cash for the day, one sting, and you're done. With margin accounts, you can buy and sell as much as you like, and take advantage of the peaks and dips that unfold during the day. When using margin accounts, I've never traded above the cash that I've had in my account.

[@jamesperkins9833]

Just thinking out loud here, but I suspect working with one to two trades a day and maintaining that discipline to focus on A+ quality setups, allows us to learn how to deal with FOMO at the same time. Watching stocks that may not fit the quality set up we’re looking for that are taking off and avoiding jumping in when it really doesn’t fit the quality setup helps further develop discipline we need to be successful. Thanks Ross.

Yeah May is around the time I first started trading and was stuck with a margin account until I discovered the T1 rule change so I opened a cash account also and thats what i primarily trade in and if I run out of settled funds I just transfer money over to the Margin account and use some PDT days...because funds are automatically settled in a margin account and before the end of the day transfer money back to cash account to settle for next day.

That’s an interesting thought. That could work well except for the days when the market is really hot and I take bigger losses but also have much bigger winners

[@Goddamnyougoogle]

Hi Ross, I’ve been watching your videos for a while and whilst I agree with your perspective…. I feel it is lost in translation for international traders. I just want to highlight my issue: It’s worth noting accessing margin accounts as international trader to be able to trade NASDAQ (whilst trying to get around PDT) is impossible. So, that’s off the table. I agree on the solution: funding cash accounts with brokers BUT this the. Sku’s your results… For example you had a BP: 3,500(ish) but made $120-$180(ish) …. Can you show the percentage you actually captured on those days? And the BP actually used in the trades? I know it’s only minor but to me it’s not adding up. I’m a big fan of your strategy and have gone green using it … but the setup was an absolute ball ache to figure out. There’s so much misinformation out there and it’s more of a mine field being an international trader. If it can be cleared up I think it could make life a lot easier for international traders like myself. Cheers 👍🏼

[@DaytradeWarrior]

Hey! International traders have many offshore options to access margin accounts with some direct access brokers!

[@adamsfamilynfun1409]

Can you keep switching it between margin and cash account? Can you do the 3 trades on your margin account and then switch to cash account and trade till those 3 trades drop off and then switch back to margin again and keep going back and fourth? Or would that be pointless?

[@DrSchor]

you can always do pointless trades, there is nothing to stop you

[@joellindquist9853]

I'm curious would it pay off more in a small cash account like yours that I limit myself to 1 A quality trade per day over 5 days a week or switch to margin but only make 3 trades a week instead of 5. Seems like leverage would still come out ahead even if it's only 2x leverage.

[@DaytradeWarrior]

It is hard to say exactly but the issue is margin can also cause larger losses and when using a cash account you have the availability to trade every day!

This was in the Robinhood app, so I suppose it could have been an app specific policy.
