Trading with $3000 to Prove it's Not Luck...

[@drewski6843]

Thanks for the vid. Your strategy is almost the same as scarface trades. He marks out the premarket high/low, then after the bell he waits for the first 5 min candle to form and then marks out the highs/lows, then moves down to the one min candle for price action, break out retest method like what you're describing. Working and practicing my strategy right now. Excited for this new journey im taking and I'm glad i discovered your channel and his. Thanks man.

[@JdubTrades]

Yep he also looks for the opening range of the 5 minute candle as well. We both have solid videos on the 5 Minute opening range break and retest.

Please let us know how it goes mate. TIA

[@J_Bant]

TBH. It was really that hard, especially at the beginning, I was experiencing a lot of emotion. The hardest part is consistency, but the real key is 'RISK MANAGEMENT" and to be able to achieve that you need a lot to discipline yourself, as of now I'm still in that stage where it is almost hard to discipline myself, especially the greed and trade revenge thing. hopefully, I will overcome it and be profitable like these guys (scarface and Jack) thanks to your contribution to the community and my respect to both of you for doing this for free to some of us who can't afford a piece of genuine information like you do guys! thank you very much I say!.

[@JdubTrades]

Appreciate you brother!

[@oraclechallenge]

I hear you-discipline is the hardest part, especially when emotions are running high. Greed and revenge trading can destroy a good strategy faster than any market move. But once you master risk management, you’re halfway there. Remember, the market has a way of reverting to key levels-staying patient and sticking to your plan will pay off in the long run. Keep pushing through, you’re on the right track!

[@Siegefya]

YES, finally another decent fellow options trader on KZbin. I also trade options, mostly SPX but trying to get into NDX, have done a lot of NASDAQ tickers in the past as well. This is pretty spot on stuff.

I have a few questions about your first Tesla trade 1) you said you were risking about 900$ but you bought 11 contracts at 11.20’each. So do you mean that you are cutting your losses at 900$? If so, what % of your portfolio do you trade, ie, how large is your position size on a single trade 2) you added levels at the wicks of the opening range. However your first Tesla trade was at another level in the middle. How do you determine this level?

[@Craig_Alexander]

I thought the same exact thing “Watch me trade with 3k” … Makes a trade risking $12,320. Even if he has a $900 stop loss its kinda deceiving

[@kickx87]

Thanks for the vid! To be clear, you were able to avoid the pattern day trader minimum account balance requirement of at least $25,000 by a combination of trading less than 4 times per week, as well as never going "all in" on any one particular trade, right? 10% was the most you'd put up per trade, give or take? I'm assuming you never traded this test account on margin at any point once it was profitable enough, correct?

[@JdubTrades]

I completely forgot about the PDT tbh. I personally live in Canada so I was never affected by PDT. For US citizens it would be the exact same but you would just be limited to the amount of trades that you would take on a day to day basis.

[@onlyflowtrading]

[@BlackPanther-tt1vu]

I just started watching your videos & also live in Canada. Do you invest through a non registered/open account or can you use your TFSA? Can you talk more about your options time frames, expiry dates, do you usually buy 90 day contracts? What do you think about using platforms from the larger banks like RBC and TD direct investing ? Which platform do you use now and why?

[@bmpatel20]

You mentioned that you used contracts 11 did you mean to say shares or are you somehow able to trade futures for Tesla? If so, how?

[@achille1577]

How do you discipline yourself to always follow good risk reward? a checklist or other tools?

[@Mikaeel84]

In his last webinar he said that on average he risks 10-15% of his position on average. If you're going to enter a trade, look at the last previous level that the trade might pivot back to and set your stop loss barely past it. Only enter a trade if your target to sell is at least 2-3 times bigger than that. I made about 10k in my first couple months trading listening to this guy and Scarface trades. Lost all of it not listening and trying to hold onto trades based off of speculation and hope. The hardest part is setting that stop loss and no matter what letting it happen instead of canceling it last minute and thinking you will give the trade a little more room to bounce back. Risk management is everything. (Aka you need to take a loss when your trade starts going the other way to the point where you have lost 10-15% of your position)He made all that money losing 6 out of 10 trades on average. That means you have to become good at losing and knowing when you do win it will be much bigger than what you lost. Hope this helps.

[@aboogie2794]

To achieve this, did you need to use a leveraged account? If so, can you do a video on margin trading?

[@franciscohidalgo918]

It is not so easy, but it is working for you 👍 What I like is that you are only using pure price action

[@oraclechallenge]

Exactly, pure price action cuts through the noise and gets right to the core of what the market’s doing. It’s not easy, but the simplicity of it can be powerful when you master it. Plus, when you focus on how price reverts to key levels, you start to see the market in a whole new light. Keep honing that skill-consistency will follow!

[@jackychen7504]

Thanks for the video. I have a question, which back test do you use? how do you select these stock options?

[@mikeys4463]

10 contracts Tesla at $12 equals $12,000 capital investment to make that trade.

[@limbeh.trader]

How do you use contracts on stocks to trade? Are you using the current week exipry + Buy call for long and buy put for short?

[@mubarakalbreiki2252]

nice work man 👌👌👌

[@Stank94]

@ 12:20 how did you select 874 as your key level?

[@TravisHess-d4m]

How do you go about calculating your stop loss amount based on the options strike price since every risk/reward ratio is different? In your example at ~11:00 your risking $900. How did you calculate that amount (Is it the total cost of your contracts? Or a percentage of your contracts? And how do you go about figuring out that step for each trade? I understand how to draw out the long/short position, but not sure how it connects to each options trade since every trade amount is different, even as it relates to how big you set your stop loss. Appreciate all of the info, cheers.

[@JdubTrades]

I determine this after the fact. In real time I will use the options contracts or delta to determine around how much I'm risking. On average I risk around 10-15% so If I have a $10,000 position I risking around $1000. This is just the basics of it as calculating risk for options is different then futures and stocks

[@himanshuthiaria1343]

Do you only trade stock with it? Scarface also trade stocks only. Will it work for futures? Thanks

[@oraclechallenge]

Great question! The beauty of reversion-based trading is that it works across the board-stocks, futures, you name it. The market has a habit of reverting to certain levels after those sudden impulse moves, no matter the asset. It’s all about finding those points where price is most likely to come back, which happens around 97-99% of the time. So yes, it can definitely work for futures if you know what to look for. The key is in spotting those patterns and acting when the probabilities are in your favor.

before entering your trafe do u also look for confluences for example if qqq is also going to the direction you want to take?

It’s not an exact amount. When calculating risk you can based off of delta or looking at the options contracts. Sometimes you lose more then intended and sometimes you lose less

[@TravisHess-d4m]

@@JdubTrades Can you expand on this a little more? When you mention only using 1% of your total account of $3,000, are you only entering option trades costing $0.30 or less in case you lose the full amount? Would you enter option trades for more, say up to $3.00 and set your stop loss to ~10% of that amount

That is the position size. Out of the 9K I’m only risking 10% of the overall position. As for the account size it grew overtime so that 5K eventually turned to over 50K

So on a 10k trade your max allowable loss is 1k? Do you just stop out at that dollar amount or whatever ten percent is if you are in a trade that's against you. Also can you clarify the price action or order blocks for stops. Close above below the on or simply trade thru it. Or do you need it to close outside your stop level and on what time frame? Thanks.
