I have 12 minutes to explain day trading. So naturally, I'm going to put $60,000
of my own money on the line. What could possibly go wrong? (nervous laugh). Oh god.
Day trading is basically a game of patient people taking money from impatient people.
But it s also a game of chance. To understand this game of chance. I m
personally putting $60,000 of own money on one single trade. Using this exact
strategy I m about to share with you. Will my own strategy actually succeed?
Or will I Lose $60,000 in the matter of seconds. Either way I guess it s content.
It s now Wednesday. I woke up at 7:30 am today. I m in Texas (TEXAS)
So market opens in 1 hour. I make sure I m zooted on
caffeine and I then proceed to spend the entire morning scrolling through my trading scanner.
Until I find the one I set up all of my strategy
parameters. Tactics. Tactics. Tactics. I Precisely, set my buy order.
Then I do the most important step. And that is to wait patiently until price hits my order.
Holy fk it just hit my order. GO GO GO GO. ENTER ENTER ENTER!!!!!
I am now entered into this $60,000 trade. But how did I get here
You see, day trading isn t easy money. I m sure the only reason youre even watching this
video right now, is because you saw some rich tiktoker talking from a helicopter about his
Lamborghini. That he got by trading stocks. You see its just not that easy. In fact,
most day traders actually lose money. It s a known statistic that only 3% of
day traders make a profit. And only 1%, actually do it consistently.
So in order to make money you have to become part of the 1% of traders.
And how do you become part of the 1% of traders you may ask?
Doing exactly opposite of what the 99% are doing. You see its pretty simple actually. If 99% of
traders are not profitable, that means if you do the exact opposite of what
they are doing. You ll make money It s sounds stupid but, its true.
In order to do this, we are a going to use one of the core concepts
in our strategy and that is liquidity. In order to understand liquidity, we first
have to understand how the big billion dollar institutions trade or in other words, the 1%
Now, unlike you and me, where we can simply just buy wherever we want. Big
institutions cant really do that. They are dealing with so much money
while trading, that there are simple not enough sellers at the price where they want
to buy at. So what do they do? They create the sellers themselves. But how do they do that?
Have you ever seen this happen? Price is coming down to
a recent low. A key support area. Now what s happening at this low, is very simple.
Normal retrial traders are seeing this as a key support and enter right here.
Thinking the price will bounce up from this support. So where better to place
their stop loss, than the most recent low. As you would assume, if price crossed this low,
it would be considered a downtrend, lose all of its momentum and keep crashing downwards.
Now the Institution owns this stock already, but they want to buy more of it. But since,
they are trading with hundreds of millions of dollars there are simply not enough sellers
at this price for them to buy from. So they need to create the sellers.
So what they will do, Is start selling their own shares, to artificially drive the price down.
They will make it seem, like the stock is losing crashing downwards. When in reality its not.
Which other retail traders will see this, and start selling as well.
Which drives the price down even more. It will do this to the extent, of passing this
recent low. Which will trigger all of those stop losses that we were talking about before. So now,
there are tons of people selling trying to get rid of what they are holding. Which means,
the institution can now, enter at the price they want since there are so many sellers.
Price hits these stop losses, institutions buy a fk load of shares, and price starts
heading in the original direction. Making institutions billions of dollars.
This is liquidity. [Live trade update]
Now the trade we just took, broke the all time highs, then reversed back downwards.
So instead of sell side liquidity, like the last example. This time we got buy side liquidity. So
this is why we are looking to short. If you don t know. Instead of making
money while the price is going up. Shorting is when you make money as the price goes down.
Price breaking this all time high is our liquidity and actually all time highs are usually the most
aggressive types of liquidity. And this is part of the puzzle of how we become part of the 1%.
But just because we find liquidity, that doesn t necessarily mean we found a good trade.
Now the 1% not only know how to find liquidity and even target liquidity, but they also know how to
find perfect spots to enter their trades. In order to know where they enter, we have
to understand one key thing. Retail traders don t move the price, the institutions do.
Sure me and your pennies, could possibly move the stock price a smidge in the grand scheme
of things. But the majority of price movement comes from hedge funds, banks, and institutions.
That s where price really moves from. We can find where they are entering by
finding key levels of supply and demand. To do this, go to the four hour time frame.
Find the start of a strong move. Mark the low to the high of the candle that
started this move. This is your area of demand. You can do the same thing with areas of supply.
Find a strong move downwards. Find the first candle that started that
move. Mark the low and the high of that candle. This is your area of supply.
The reason we are doing this is because we want to be entering
where the big institutions are entering. And if price spiked up strong from this price.
That means the institutions are probably entering here. So we would wait for price to come back down
to this zone. Enter here. Where price is likely to spike up again and we make all of the profits.
So if we go back to our trade. We already grabbed the liquidity at the all time highs. Next,
we need to mark our area of supply. We mark the first candle that started the downwards move.
This is our area of supply and we must wait for price to enter in this zone again before
we enter our short trade. Once it does, we enter.
Now just because we have liquidity and supply,
that doesn t necessarily mean price will follow exactly what we think it will do.
You need another layer of confirmation and that is a narrative.
Narratives come in all shapes and sizes. It could be a sector that has lots of potential
like AI, it could be could economic news, trump makes a tweet, or it could be . Over hype.
Now this play is QBTS and they are a quantum computing company.
It s been going crazy the past month or so with all the AI hype going on recently.
Now to be completely honest, I really do believe in this company. I think quantum
computing is the future and I think it s a really good company for that.
And I actually traded this exact stock a couple months ago. But the last trade, I was in a long
trade. I used the exact same strategy just flipped around. I entered in at around
$4 and sold around $18. It was my biggest trade to date and I posted it live in my discord group.
But with that said, I think it is extremely overpriced at the moment.
For example, this company is still in its early stages. They are actually losing
money at the making of this video. Now sure, they could be reinvesting into the company
to make it stronger for the future and just because they don t have a net profit doesn
t necessarily mean it s a bad company. At the making of this video AI stocks are
going absolutely bonkers and anything related to that is going up along with it. Even if the
company isn t necessarily making money. Like just look at this chart.. this
screams speculation. And on top of that,
its valued at 5.3 billion. With a B. So yeah, I think the stock is overvalued at this
point. I don t think this is a long term short in any way, but I do believe at this very moment,
it s a speculation play for buyers. And speculators, get scared very very easily.
And if buyers are freaking out as the chart goes down, that will just
add to the momentum of the stock to plummet. Which in return our short trade. Makes money.
So we found 3 main things, liquidity, an area of supply, then a narrative.
So now that we know how I m trading this stock. Now is the time to put my money where my mouth is
and enter into this short trade for $60,000. Here s the plan.
Like I ve stated, we were patient enough to not only find this play.
But to get a liquidity grab and a key strong area of supply with this candle right here.
As I m editing this now, it is now wendsday. Price just entered into our area of supply.
So we can finnaly enter into this trade. To be honest im kind of
nervous. When I originally thought of this video idea. I was going to put $200,000 on this trade.
But then I did a little thinking This is definitely a more volatile
stock. Meaning when it goes up and down, it really goes up and down.
All the points that I made earlier point to it going down,
but with trading nothing is 100%. Even the best strategies have losers every now and then.
But I m going to stick with the ideal facts. And play the game of probabilities.
And enter into this trade with $60,000. We re going to set our stop loss. Above
these highs. Our entry price was $19.13. So if price decides to go up from here. We
ll lose around 7%. Which is around $4200. I could buy a lot of things with $4200.
But if this trade goes in the other direction. We ll play it safe and are going to sell 50% of
our position at this area of demand. And we will sell the other 50% of our
position if price can break these lows and target these previous highs.
If price hits our first target. We ll make around 24%. And if we selling only 50% of our shares
at this point. We ll make around $7,500. If price goes all the way down to our second
take profit, we ll make an additional $9,000. So if this trade plays out correctly. We could
make a total of $16,500. In one single trade.
Let s see what happens *fast forward*
Thanks to editing magic it is now 2 weeks later. And what happened is absolutely shocking .
It hits our take profit. Price is now at our area of demand and we sold
50% of our position for a profit of $7,500. I ll be posting this video now,
while im still in this trade. For now we are in the profit,
and hopefully price can hit our second target. If you re watching video as I upload it, in no way
am I saying you should short this stock now. It s probably too
late. But I thought Id listen to you guy s advice and post more live type trades on my youtube.
Yeah, you re getting this information a week or two after it happened. But alteast
you can see my thought process behind my trades. If you want to see all of my trades live. I posted
this exact trade and many others just like it. Live in my discord ground as im entering into.
So, yeah, theres that. But yeah that s how you trade
stocks. Try it out. See ya next time!
