I'm Andrew Aziz, the author of How to
Day Trade for a Living. There are two
simple but clearly defined strategies
that I use in my day trading. I grew my
trading account to 8 figure recently.
What really took me here is having a
consistent routine that I can rinse and
repeat every morning at the New York
session open. There's nothing to
gatekeep here. Most people already know
that my best trading strategy is the
opening range breakout. Another strategy
that I use to scalp momentum stocks is
called the 920 strategy. Let's learn
directly from my live trades and see how
I executed my entries, exits, and risk
management. Give this video a free like
if you appreciate transparency and
realistic trading tips. All right guys,
today I want to talk about the two
important strategy that I trade for day
trading and in this market was really
amazing and just do a quick uh recap on
that. I had one big loss on one of the
options that I sold and go over that and
um you know see what we can learn and
these two are the most important
strategies that I've been trading for
over uh 10 years now and uh I really
don't think that a lot of people need a
lot of strategies just a couple of
really strategy that works really well
it's enough for you to make consistent
money so the first strategy is opening
range breakout on AMD and the second one
is a 920 on Nvidia and I want to talk
walk you through uh those
[clears throat] trades step by step. I
did have a big loss on Microsoft that uh
it was a you know options that I sold uh
but I rolled it over to the next week.
So as you see it's $86,000 loss here but
uh there's a $30,000 gain on the for the
next week expiry of the Microsoft puts
at 400. So these are cash secured pools
uh puts that I sold at 400. So let's see
what's going to happen. If Microsoft
stays above 400, I'm going to uh make
that $90,000 back. But uh let's go
through uh these two trade. This is the
one that I really want you to um look
into it and go over it. So AMD um market
you know as you know as you know was uh
you know after the earning was really
bad dropped and today was market was
very strong. Dow Jones actually made a
new all-time high. So uh it seems that
uh we back [snorts] at the open it was
very strong. One tool that is very
important for day traders for scalping
is you know market atlas. So the market
FS shows the levels and the liquidity
where it is uh compared to uh the price
action. Right now as you see here this
is the bid and ask and the levels ups
and downs. Right now the market is in
the post market. So you don't see a lot
of liquidity but when it's open this one
shows a very clear direction of where
you can expect the uh prices going. So
AMD market assets was very bullish.
there was a lot of liquidity um you know
pools were standing on the top of the
price and that was really um you know
you know confident trade that if the
price gets to above VWAP you can
actually take it to the open range
breakout. We have a lot of information
in this YouTube and also in our
education center on how to trade based
on market atlas which is the most
important tool that you guys should have
for day trading and scalping if you want
to trade you know 5 to 10 minutes um
wrench type of thing. Um so let's go
through that. Yeah. So this is a 1
minute. So again open very strong. I
went long. I added one here, one time
here, one time here, and one time here.
So from 198 all the way up to 204.
Again, the market atlas was very uh
bullish at 204. Went all the way up to
209, 206, but I just got out of it at
the uh you know, after I added a couple
of times. The last ad was very big and I
got a stopped out at the break even. So
it turned out to be a very nice
profitable uh 26,000
something. Uh so it was a big big
position. So as you see here's a very
nice 5m minute open range breakout and
that turned out to be also a 5 minute
open range breakout that continued went
higher came back to the VWAP but
continued going higher but I got a
really nice uh move on that so if you
really want to uh take a look at it so
it would be very nice one minute range
breakout so this is opening range
breakout this is one of the most
important strategies very simple we have
a lot of research on it we do it every
single day there's another strategy that
is a reversal so this is a trend
momentum you know when you go as you go
long in there there's Another one that
is a counter trend or reverse on a
strategy [snorts] that is called 920. It
doesn't happen very often but when it
does you can actually make really nice
uh profit out of that. Again it doesn't
happen very often you know rarely maybe
once a week you can find something a
really nice 920 and today that happened
on Nvidia. The idea here is that you
find a stock that is very strong that it
goes up. So again that you find this
stock that is very goes up and then when
it bounces back to the 20 moving average
you know you buy for a reversal to go
back up you know essentially you buy on
a pullback but this strategy works on a
two-minut time frame. I traded Nvidia at
the open uh for one minute breakout but
I got out too early because I had a big
position on AD. I didn't want to have
two positions, but Nvidia here, um, you
know, I I I saw that Nvidia is really
running up and it's shameful that I'm
not really in uh in there. Um, so what
we noticed here was that, uh, again, it
could potentially be a 920. Again, a
very strong move up, pull back to the
moving average. Again, the 920 strategy
is, uh, on 2 minutes candlestick. Brian
Pez developed this strategy. So, this is
a 20 moving average. This is a nine
moving average. You buy at the 20 moving
average. You put a stop lossless below
that and then you go up toward nine and
the high of the day and then continue
going higher as you see I did here. So
we have a lot of strategies on here. So
this is your risk and as you see here
this is your uh reward. So 920 strategy
is a very important strategy. It doesn't
happen very often. You have to find the
stock that is very strong move up moves
back on a 2-minut chart usually between
10 to 1030 and then you you know take
the long uh position u based on that and
as you see here you know it actually
continued going higher but I got out the
last of my position at 18350 because I
made all of my profit but you know it
could potentially hold it all the way up
to the close. Um and uh these two
strategies are very important. Again,
these are strategies that we started
since 2013 14 and they're still working
because it's based on the fundamental of
the price action. I really hope you guys
don't complicate your trading. You don't
need a lot of indicators. You don't need
to constantly change it. It's very
important for you guys to uh really pay
attention to very simple strategy but
excellent trade management and risk
management. So get out of it when it's
needed. um and add when it's uh you know
demanded again. So again the $26,000
profit and $7,000 uh profit on Nvidia is
really nice. Again ignore this one is
$86,000 because this is going to be
replaced by uh uh the next week trade
that I have on Microsoft. So essentially
I uh so let me explain that that one as
you it was it was not a great trade. I
got kind of uh stuck on that. So
Microsoft let me see what Microsoft did here.
here.
So Microsoft was really setting up after
the earning. There is this trade that
you can actually find this bottom at 405
uh and sell puts on the cash secure put
and you know hoping that you know by in
the next day bounce back. So I sold the
puts here for four or five but I really
didn't see this 5% drop day that
happened yesterday. So I really got
stopped out here but I kind of uh um you
know really heavy loss because it's just
again when you're selling puts you are
insurance broker so you can have a very
serious loss but now I move my uh trade
to 400. So if by the end of next week it
goes above 400, I'm going to make that
money back uh by the cash secure
outputs. Uh softwares are under pressure
because uh you know they say the AI can
replace softwares. Again that's really
questionable how easy that can be
[snorts] uh done. But uh again Microsoft
really didn't have a good time. It's
been really selling off in the last uh
uh you know this year. Well 2025 hasn't
been really doing much. It's a very uh
you know one of the biggest companies in
the world. Um the tool that we really
need to you know pay attention is the
market atlas. Market atlas is very
important to find you these liquidity
pools and uh you know making decisions
based on that. Again this is the post
market market is closed and you see
these liquidity pools help you really uh
we have a lot of recaps a lot of
education uh a lot of videos a lot of
webinars on how to use market assets for
these short-term scalps uh intraday and
I hope you guys watch it and if you did
