I’m new in this space… I’ve started trading but I see a lot of ambiguities in analysis I feel like becoming a pro will take too long.. Suggestions to help me narrow my focus will be appreciated
read books, try trading real-time but risking small money first, journal your trades. Then use your data.
Just demo your way to experience, there’s no other way to be good at trading other than trading itself, so if u can’t afford to lose money, just use demo and lose as much as u want until you get confidence, that would take you more than 6 months more or less
Find out which strategy works for you.
MrLedh hey what app could I use to start learning to be a better trader
@Benneth Nwokocha haha
what about not taking profits when you should
Just move your stops up!
Exits and position sizes are more important than entries. Much more important.
What’s a trailing stop do
john mcmanus A trailing stop continually follows price as it moves. Instead of having a static stop loss being a certain price and you having to adjust it as price moves, the trailing stop adjusts itself automatically by percentage and is tethered to price movement.
john mcmanus a trailing stop is when a trade is going in your favour so you keep moving your stop loss accordingly to breakeaven so that you dont lose money, the bad thing about this is that people move it to breakeven when theyre only up 20 pips so their trade can get cancelled out easily cause theres no space for the trade to move, trailing stop is only good when theres a big gap between the current price and the open price
Hi John, you may want to take a look at this video on Trailing Stop orders – https://youtu.be/-4dIZPhm0uo.
Thanks people 👍
miss you Sir david
I really appreciate the definition of the right attitude to have: dispassionate. I’m here to make money, not become part of the club or impress my neighbors or gain the trophy wife. I’m here to make a decent living that gives me the room to live my life well, not chained to a device. That being said, I’ve learned patience in learning and making gains of ANY kind, and this type of headset falls right in line with what you were saying. So, thanks! Reaffirming!
Great video as always, but why did You stop cometing on cryptocurencies ? There hasn’t been any video for more then month.
Best regards
What happened to David?? (been a while since i watched u guys vids)

Can you talk about why GOOG & AMZN often seem to make similar movements?
Hi Ryan. I don’t have any firm plans to produce a video on this subject, but to answer your question in a very broad sense: both companies are exposed to trends affecting the technology industry. For the same reason, you may have noticed correlation in the past between these two stocks and Facebook as well.
Going into a bit more detail, Alphabet and Amazon are, in some ways, opposite sides of the same coin. On the face of it, they appear quite different: Alphabet’s core business has historically been in the high-margin area of paid search, while Amazon comes from the low-margin world of e-commerce. But, as both companies have branched out into different areas, there is an increasing amount of crossover in what they do. For example, they both are involved in areas such as cloud-computing and voice-activated devices. Moreover, Amazon is now increasingly involved in online advertising business, while Alphabet operates in the world of e-commerce.
Hope that helps!
Thank you!
Traders not understanding leverage is a big one I think!

thanks for providing this information..
It’s important to always make sound judgment when it comes to buying and selling stocks. Keep your emotions aside for a moment. Don’t get too connected to the company you’ve bought stocks in. This includes getting defensive when anyone tries to point out something alarming about your investment. Although you shouldn’t take everyone’s advice, make sure you keep your ears and eyes open and think objectively.

Can you only lose what you put in example if I put £100 in is that the max i can lose ?
Minimum of 1% Maximim of 3% of your capital. Risk only 1-3£ never risk more than that or you will blow your account.
Hi there, that’s correct. Any potential losses are limited to the amount of funds you have available in your account.
@Michael Singson Trocio thanks bud

Hello Peter, could you give me an answer about stock price ? I did bought a share say at the price of 100$ the market went up and my stock grown by 3$ but on my portfolio it shows -0, something percent? Why is that
biggest mistake: losing your fear of the market.
The last one resonates… lost 80% in a single trade so with the little 20% slowly clawing back small profits at a time and learning more in the process
*Sizing is the key?*
I know we can’t predict the market but how we confirm that the trend will go upwards or downwards? anyone?
Choosing proper trading platform and broker is more important than the five you mentioned
