Why DAY TRADING is More Profitable than INVESTING

[@HumbledTraderOfficial]

Traders, what are some of your friends and family's biggest misconceptions about your career? And what do you say to them?👇

[@hhefner9659]

those Rock jokes are lame.

[@timbawoof1]

#1. They all think that I should be rich. If I'm not making $1000 off of every trade, I must be some kind of loser. 2. I must be crazy for even doing this in the first place. 3. They don't understand I am actually working. They see me sitting in my chair all day and assume Im not doing anything. So they don't think they need to respect my time.

[@kyng_flair2166]

They consider it gambling,no matter the hours and time put in to master reading charts,and taking calculated risks to make the most

Thanks for all of the high quality videos! You are now my favorite day trading youtuber! I love your simple yet effective approach. I have adopted your simplified use of VWAP and volume indicators to cut out all the noise so that I can concentrate more on the price action, which is already paying off. 😊

Thank you for introducing me to the price action concept. I finally made good consistent profit this year. Up 75% YTD with 3 long trades and the rest short trades this year. I have been using the 9 and 20 ema, vwap, 50 100 200 sma, playing off fear and greed psychology. Looking forward to see where this leads me in a couple years.

At your first 2 years, you are one of the donators to Jim Simmons Team who took all your money and including mine. I need to join to his fund but not available to us.

[@NotMuchHere]

Greetings, I am more of a swinger than a daybot. One summer (2002) I would move money back and forth between my 401k bond fund and my 401k stock fund. When the stocks declined I move money into them. When the stocks surged up I would move money out. That summer I moved money every 3-6 weeks. ... I doubled my 401k balance and the fund company started charging to rebalance! :). You make money when you move money

[@asianstud7]

Can you explain how that is? And why?

[@RhythmBoy]

Well, the truth is that if you're really good at investing, you can make a lot of money too. But nothing is easy, everything requieres work and learning in life

[@LongTu167]

Many thanks Shay for all sharing, very much appreciated !!!

[@soullfire]

If you day trade futures in the States, profits are split 60/40, with 60% being counted as long term capital gains, and 40% as short term. So you get much better tax treatment trading futures over stocks.

[@dontbabilly9956]

Thanks Shay, today I had 3 winners and a small loser. But unfortunately I have to return to work to fund my account further. Trading a 2k account brings on a lot emotional issues. I am working my way thru them with self recognition and discipline. Fear is still there to a lesser degree and what it is causing me to do is have a problem with my exits. leaving money on the table and giving back to much of my profit. These are all the mental things a day trader goes thru. There are 2 worlds a day trader lives in the " physical and emotional ". Since trading is 90% emotional you can see what needs the most work. I will day trade until I take my last breath. This is a lot of work but I really enjoy it and am making progress. Good book to read "The disciplined trader " by Mark Douglas he lays it out in a way it is easy to understand. Wayne from Boise, Idaho. Potatoes anyone?

[@pn4640]

Why don’t you open IBKR margin account? With 2K you can trade with more than 6K. But the catch is you have to be good so you don’t fall less than your 2K. I would say to be safe 3K is better

[@Kumachanchan]

Shay, many would like to day trade and are ready to but keep in mind in the USA you have to have a 25K balance to not be labeled a PDT on any platform and after 3 warnings you are canceled! We CANNOT use 5K and day trade! Not even 10K! We can only swing trade or Level 2 options. So please keep in mind and maybe do a series about this.

[@ToniTruthArt]

I use my 3 day trades every 5 trading days a trade opens back up so space them out Monday Wednesday Friday. Been able to make 500$ a week day trading like this to grow my account or you can just use cash account and make unlimited trades but takes some business days for your funds to settle after every trade.

[@Jeremy-sr4gv]

That’s why you need to get about 40k to start. I know crazy right. You don’t even have the 25k but if you don’t take it seriously then it won’t be worth it.. DO NOT TAKE OUT A LOAN. I took one out but I had been trading on and off for over 6 months before I felt certain I could make money.

[@RedTapeTrading]

This is a lie u can trade with whatever amount u just have to use a cash account and not margin

[@windible]

X day trader I made 40,000 USD 3 days a week and lost 8k when I went to the bathroom and bought Qualcomm on a downswing before going LoL. But I have permanent brain damage from an accident or actually a homicide temp that happened in a week on the floor with no food or water. So I'm out of the game. I used to be rich so it sucks. I could still probably do it at a slower pace. But what I'm thinking about is the AI eventually it's going to get into this go that route when the time comes. Mostly why I date rated in large sums of money was because I was addicted to the emotional ups and it was the best drug I could ever buy.😊

[@sashasavisha146]

I’m a stock market investor not trader. But I worry about taxes because I trim positions to take profits or reorganize my portfolio. I make new buys but I sometimes sell or reduce when they are unprofitable so I can invest in a better stock. Is it ok to take profits (from a tax standpoint)? Because it sounds like the IRS wants taxes on everything sold. And if I use the cash to invest in another position that makes profits… well they’re just taxing me multiple times on the same money when I sell. It’s just a big game. I love investing, but I hate the IRS.

[@Lester-dd7ro]

How long did you learn before making your first trade, do you have any tips for a beginner?

[@plan_trade_repeat]

@@Lester-dd7ro actually i make my first trade without knowing anything, and thats my biggest mistakes. Tips: make sure to understand what is trend of the market, study about the chart pattern, and learn how to understand indicators (macd, rsi, momentum and so on). Put just a little money if not fully understand and try to experience it first. Thats 1 thing, another important thing is the mindset, we cant get rich instantly by trading, but we can get rich steadily if we do it correctly. Hope it helps

[@soullfire]

Disagree on it taking 6m - 1yr to become proficient on day trading. It's one of the hardest professions one can attempt to do well in and the stated measures failure rates of those who try are always well over 90%. It could very well take many years to achieve proficiency, if ever, so folks need to be sober minded about this weighing the costs and risks. I know you referenced "minimum time", but that is like saying one can learn to be a brain surgeon in a "minimum" 2 years time- while that may be possible for a prodigy/genius, for the other 98% of the population, it's just not the case. I think too many people are led astray thinking they have a shot at doing well in day trading in just a few months to a couple of years when the time is likely at least an order of magnitude higher.

[@Jeremy-sr4gv]

Not necessarily. It comes down to time spent. In the beginning the biggest thing holding me back was my full time job. Going back to contracts with work etc. if you devote everything to the craft 6 months to a year is doable

[@celuler22]

They say 1000 hours to master anything

[@soullfire]

@@celuler22 The actual number stated is 10,000, not 1,000, and that number comes from the average amount our hours people who are masters in their fields have practiced/worked. It may take a master 10,000 to arrive at their desired level, but that's no guarantee anyone working 10,000 hours will be a master.

Yes in general. You shouldn’t trade multiple stocks honestly. Too much going on. Most of the indexes and their respective stocks move in a cyclical direction. Though there are outliers. Choose one stock. The more volatile the better. Perfect that one stock
