When Does a Retail Trader Have the Advantage? | Secrets of the Institutional Trader | Part 4

In the final part of our 4-part series with Trevor Neil, he reveals where the retail trader has the advantage over institutions when trading the stock market.
One of the key advantages that Trevor highlights is that retail traders get access to the same charts as the institutions. They also have the choice of whether or not to trade, as well as taking the time to research which prop traders won't.
Trevor also debunks market manipulation, and where it's instead traders getting the markets wrong or short squeezes. He finishes off his presentation by imploring retail traders to recognise their advantages and to use them, rather than trying to compete with big institutions.

Timestamps for retailer advantages and non-disadvantages: 1. Trade outside the time frame where institutions have a clear advantage (i.e. trade longer frames such as hourly, daily, weekly, monthly): 0:14 2. Time and opportunity to learn: 1:33 3. Trade on own terms (not institutional demands): 3:05 4. Not "hunted" for stop losses as commonly portrayed online: 4:19 5. ATR (average true range): 6:41 6. Can learn to navigate market squeezes (not manipulations) 9:17 7. True manipulations (e.g. order stuffing) are subject to heavy oversight: 10:09 8. Small size of retailers can work in their favour: 13:21

Great advice as a swing trader i agree 💯

[@XxJkiiDo5]

what he is saying is the truth my mentor taught me the same way on how to trade like the institutions he always tells me to look at the daily,4hr and 1hr because thats where the big money aka institutions trade and look to take people out and hunt for liquidity which is stop losses

[@anisagheorghiu848]

Great video! Great speaker!

[@MasterWestt]

On the topic of stops, it depends. It is possible to buy a monthly API from some brokers to get the info about where stops are ...and it's not cheap. 100k/month or more and it's generally used by some algo. There are lawsuits over this kind of stuff and it's more frequent than you would want to believe. But are individual institution humans hunting your stop, probably not.

Its something about the way you speak you seem so knowledgable i can listen to you all day. Very motivating stuff. As a beginner i turned $200 into $380 and then went back down to $115. I took out my funds and almost quit until i watched this series. I will give it another go.

[@OptoThemes]

Thanks for watching - Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lombardo141]

I am not trying to talk down to you but am guessing where u from$380 is a lot of money. It’s all relative I guess. To me that a very small loss

[@marianofuntime8366]

Hey, how is it going with trading?

[@blazzz13]

@@lombardo141 If you are suggesting that new traders like him should be risking more than that, then your suggestion is very irresponsible. Just an example- if we 100X his losses, that would mean he lost $265k. New traders should absolutely not risk alot of money regardless of whether its alot of money to them or not. I wonder how much you started trading with and how that went.

[@lombardo141]

@@blazzz13 you misread my comment. I did not say he should risk more I said his reaction to $350 probably meant where he is from that is a lot of money. If you are American like me $350 will not cause you to go bankrupt at least for the majority of people. If he said 350k and got down to 116k I would have said something different. Hope I make sense.

Why do retail traders have an advantage on longer term chart as opposed to short term charts? Institutions and retail are looking at the same charts regardless of time frame

[@leonardomendoza2126]

there is less volume in short term (they have higher volume) as opposed as long term

[@eXelenCe]

They know our stops, they know our liquidation price, they know our precise entry, they have control of the sources which teach us to trade, and they have control of government. We NEVER have the advantage.

Huge amount of rubbish on the internet indeed

[@vincentnnyc]

I disagree 4:42. Institutions know where most retail place their stops. The stocks market is a device to cause maximum pain for the large amount of retail traders.

The bigs banks have been fined bilions for FX manipulation in many many occations, so please do not tell manipulation doesn't happen, when it is clear it does. In some aspect it is even impoortant part of the fx market structure.
