Thank you!
Thanks bro ❤
From India-respect for GG... Proud to see you grow from nowhere in 2018 and you are the one in 2023..keep going on 😊
🎉
Richard Moglen, thank you for granting your guests enough time to speak. You do not interrupt them and that is how it should be. Very few interviewers let their guests talk without interruption. Keep up the good job.
Thank you kindly!
agree. I like usawatchdog, great guests. but greg hunter just won't shut the F up.
100% agree.. Other people don't let guest speak at all... Such gesture needs passions and maturity which traderlion have bydefault
Agree
Sharan from Finance with Sharan also keeps interrupting the speakers, not a great experience for the speakers and the audience as well :)
Listening and letting people speak is a very important skill, good job Richard! 😊
Richard Moglen is too good to handle any guest..He lets them talk and setting benchmark on how one should conduct shows...Kudos to him ...Overall very good interview and lots of learnings
Thanks!
Moglen has one of the best listening skills ever

Richard, great interview. Could you also please ask them what tools they use (e.g., brokerage, charting tool, any subscriptions, etc). This is helpful information to have.
Really enjoyed this and it was excellent going through Goverdhan's setups and example trade. Great nuggets regardless of your timeframe.
Great job Richard!
Awesome interview. Loved his perspective on psychology & him deciding that day trading fit his personality more. Also shows the importance of backtesting and keeping it simple.
Glad you enjoyed it!
superb!!! its obvious how much work goverdhan has put in and continues to put in. i personally took away plenty from his best practices his mistakes especially using camtasia recording on demand live trades for his setups at 3x speed and 6x speed on top of it. he deserves all his success and plenty more in his future!!! thanks for coming on and thanks for hosting 😊💚
Hi Goverdhan...being Indian, proud of you brother..hardwork you did..deserved success..sharing your journey is beneficial to us. I thank Richard Moglen so much for bringing these interviews..and thanks to TraderLion team for their effor and education.
Thanks a ton
Are his slides available for download please?
How to define the qty of shares to buy based on price and volume keeping in mind to exit the position in single day when position is turned against us...?
Is there a formula b/n Price, Vol and Qty to buy?
Another great interview Richard. I really like your calm, respectful interview style. This has to be the 3rd interview in a row where the guest says they lose more often then they win, but they keep their loses small. I keep trying to hammer this into my head, keep my losses small.
Goverdhan is more of a risk taker than I. He is trying to hit homeruns with those low float stocks and it is working for him. Those low float stocks have me curling up in the fetal position when they go bad quickly. My trading style is more to have a higher winning percentage and hit singles and doubles.
Goverdhans note taking and journaling were excellent.
I look forward to the next interview, or as I see them, "my weekly pep talk".
Thanks! Glad you are finding them helpful. I think every one of my interviews has that common theme. It's a pillar of successful trading
Do we get to access the ppt he made ?
Easily my favorite interview. I've been struggling for years and this gives me hope. I traded a lot of these stocks myself and barely made any money. I realize that my approach has been wrong. Waiting for dipson the backside is not the right way. Trading the bull flags on the front side is the best strategy for small cap. The fact that someone could win the USIC as a day trader is amazing as well. Big props to Richard for asking all the right questions that everyone wants the answers to. Great great interview
Thanks Steven. You got this. I would recommend watching our UTG series as well if you haven't yet
I have watched them along with everything you guys at TL have posted. I need to go through the series again to let it fully sink in. Thx! @@TraderLion
Thanks for your useful sharing and interview with Mr. Goverdhan Gajjala!
It's my pleasure
Excellent interview that highlights how important risk management is to profitable trading. Also he described some of his mistakes with allowing FOMO to overtake the basics of his trading strategy and plan. Lots of wisdom here. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks guys! Excellent information!!! 💪🏽🙌🏽👊🏽
Our pleasure!
Really awesome interview! Great host and guest!! Thanks!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations... superb achievement
Would be curious to know how to manage stress while day trading
Noted
love seeing a proper intraday trader on the channel, even with being focused on intraday the type of price action he looks for still fits our swing style trading kind of action. i agree with feeling more in control of my trades when day trading as well, part of why i switched to trading index futures from swing trading individual stocks, PLUS you can still get a nice swing trade on them since after all its still an index which have plenty of day or week swings
Amazing interview , one of the best in my opinion . Great questions Richard.Definitely worth to watch few times and take notes.
Plenty to learn from Goverdhan's journey!
You have the best interviews! Many thanks!
Glad you like them!
great discussion, loved the humbleness.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the transparency and selfless sharing!
Really inspiring of what is possible!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great achievement in short span of time, keep up with your consistency
Always thank you ,Richard for your hard work.Thank Gajjala for him sharing his valuable lessons during his retively short but very sucssessful trading journey.
Many thanks!
Awesome. Will watch now. Thanks.
Hope you enjoy!
Exactly Normal Trader How Struggled and overcome it. NO Hype etc.. SUPER Interview
Thanks for watching!
Great interview. GG, your hard work has paid off. You’re inspiring to the rest of us in the audience who are on the same journey.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found the interview inspiring. Keep up the hard work and you'll achieve your trading goals too!
Amazing achievement in a short time.. thanks for sharing your learnings.
Thanks for watching
Love it. A master class on how to start day trading!
Thank you!
Hi Goverdhan. You use these screenere to find the biggest gap in premarket? Thanks.
He is using ThinkorSwim
Goverdhan has been generous with sharing his knowledge and Richard as usual is the best interviewer for traders.
Thank you kindly!
Congratulations Goverdhan and thanks to Richard for this wonderful interview!
Qs: 1. How many open positions do you have at any given time?
2. Do you carry any promising positions overnight or always close them by end of day?
3. What is the purpose of 9/21 EMA?
1. One or two; 2. No; 3. For reference and seeing the price trend
Fantastic interview and just loved the honesty and the journey. Giving back to others is truly the best feeling in the world and thank you for being that person. I didn't quite catch those other traders you listened to as mentors. Would you be able to list those out you felt were the most important. I got Mark Minervini, but didn't catch the others. Many thanks!!

Excellent video Richard! Congrats goes out to Goverdhan for your amazing performance. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
The host is a great listener.
thanks!
Started watching. Interesting started can slim trading even with Mark Minervini, but switched to intradyday vs swing. Def something to watch 2x's
Great interview! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
First of all: great questions from Richard. Cudos. Second: I love how Goverdhan is really vulnerable / honest about how this journey can be so painful, that you even cry. Been there. Haha. Can relate. Great interview. Thanks to you both
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are without a doubt the best interviewer in the stock market. Full stop. Great interview! Thank you.
Thank you very kindly Josh
Awesome....great learnings from this day trader...loved the way he goes back to check on every trade he has taken, with screenshots and recorded videos....how he exactly picks few stocks from bunch of available...was not clear to me...may be in some other interview i will try to understand this...Thank you TrderLion and Goverdhan Gajjala.🙏
I watch the big movers for that day and trade only the ones that show me my setups and ignore the rest, Saurabh.
@@goverdhangajjala - Great interview, came to watch this from your mailer. I am unable to understand how a stock can give you 30-40% moves within few hours. Do they not have upper/lower circuits in US markets?
Great content again Richard. Thank you !
Thanks!!
How do you backtest your approach? Since you trade short horizons, do you pool your results cross-sectionally?
You can back test your strategies with ThinkorSwin OnDemand. It's a great resource
Amazing interview! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Superb interview - one of the best I have seen on RUclips. Have been a long time follower as well. Hats off to Goverdhan for the preso!
Thanks!
excellent interview... host you really did a good job. Mr trader best of luck for more success
Thanks!
My 4th watch , most people always look at the flag or the mini base for a trade what I got out of this the flag is only as good as the lead up to it u must watch the previous data to get an idea of the projection in the future, one of the best interviews once again
Awesome!!
Hi Richard- Is wash trading rules applicable for these day trades? IS there a way around it, but setting up trading as a business (I have heard). If so, please send the details or refer me to a RUclips video kindly.
Thank you , both of you for sharing it☺️
Our pleasure!
Amazing performance in 2023. Great interview. Thanks
Thank you!
Fantastic! Time well spent. Thanks for the very insightful interview. Congratulations GG. Richard did a great job.
Our pleasure!
Great video,
Those are basically tight flags with volume compression on a intraday chart, Aka VCP on a Daily...
Cheers
Yes!!
Thank you traderlion and goverdhan for sharing this invaluable content
Thank you goverdhan for being transparent and selfless in sharing
And congratulations
Our pleasure!
I couldn’t thanks Richard enough for your contribution to all traders! Conducting countless great interviews with top traders around the world! Thank you so much Richard!
Our pleasure!
@Goverdhan, since you are taking trades based on price action and use 9EMA as a supporting confluence, what is the usage of 21EMA? In what context do you use it?
There will be times where the price takes more time to consolidate and slowly drifts and lands on 21 EMA. This action will look better if I switch to 15 min chart. I just use the EMAs for reference and extra confirmation of the trend Oliver, I don't decide the buy point based on that.
@@goverdhangajjala Understood. Thank you !
Hi@@goverdhangajjala ! Superb stuff, subscribed to your wait list. Do you use 9/21 EMAs on the selected time frame basis, or anchored to some specific time frame, e.g. 5min or 15min?
Lots of learning, thanks to Goverdhan & Trader Lion for this excellent content..
Our pleasure!
also any thoughts on how your strategy might work in a bear market? with the vicious bear market rallies I suspect it could still work.
Most awaited interview on TraderLion.
Thanks
Very honest person. Thanks for sharing very real experience and learnings.
Thanks for watching!
Great clip and thanks for putting this on Richard. Did he make mention of how he scans for his trades? It seems as though he really likes the micro caps and volume and price are his key variables, no screen setups like Minervinis template.
ThinkorSwim
@@TraderLion Thanks Richard, from what I learned, he looks for pre mkt breakouts in small caps. good trader.
D@mn good interview. Really appreciate when traders are this honest about what they've went through to get where they are.
Definitely!
Referring to common mistakes section - i can relate so much to his journey. I thought i am the only one with such feelings.
All traders go through the same
bhai aap profitable ho????mai 2 saal se apni koi trading setup and system nahi bana paya abhi tak. lost so much capital. how did you get ur trading setup/system
@@MoneyMuscleMastery38 nhi. Not profitable yet. But since this is a very lonely profession, i am thinking... Ek group ho traders ka.. 5L to 20L cap bracket wale. To exchange trades and help each other
Thanks for all the honesty and insights. Definitely one of the best videos. All the best!
Thanks for watching!
great guys..very transparent...thx alot to the champ
Glad you enjoyed it!
Been waiting on this one!
Enjoy Ben
I subscribed to your channel after this excellent interview. Thank You.
Awesome, thank you!
Were I am find those videos and ppt and Google drive link of govardhan? Put the link in detail
Really an amazing interview Richard
Thanks!
Great interview! Couldn’t quite get the scan settings. Can you write then somewhere please?
Price in between 1$-100$, volume > 1 mil, % change > 25%
Thanks a lot, Goverdhan!! Congrats on your amazing achievement!
@@goverdhangajjala any other criteria to scan the stocks? or do you have specific criteria to screen vcp? thanx in advance
Thanks for another great interview.
Our pleasure!
No problemo! I'm stoked that you liked the interview. Stay tuned for more awesome content coming your way! ✌️
Thank you guys , again great interview. Learned a lot from this. Will definitely repeat !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks to both of you
Govardhan cleared my all queries and helped me a lot
Love From India 💖
Awesome!
what a down to earth guy he is ! Thanks, Richard and Goverdhan. How can I directly learn from Goverdhan?
Thanks for watching! You can checkout his twitter
2:06:56 what are the tools required to record those videos of past price action? Thanks in advance
Loom would be a nice tool
I use OBS open source video recording software.
Great information and learning videos please also do interview some forex traders.
You ask questions very strict and clean way I like your thoughts and the way you do your job fantastic
Thank you!
Sir Why you don't use VWAP or any other indicator like RSi or MACD ?? can You please explain.Thanks
good I am trying to learn.
also 15 mins are more reliable than 5 mins any opinion
@@Peter-sl6vr
What basic knowledge or concept one should have it, before enrolling into any such course like Mark Minervini or some other day trading legend? Like I have no knowledge on any of what he was saying so if I join any of Mark's class, Ill come out 0. So what concept should I make clear then listen to this again in order to understand?
Great interview.
I have a couple of questions. How many trades did you make for 2023? And if you day trade how do you factor in capital gains taxes?
38:00
Plz watch the stats section of the interview for number of trades. I pay my taxes every year. As Mark says, don't try to avoid taxes. Try to pay more taxes which means you're earning more :)
Great to hear the journey of a trader..
Yes indeed!
Great interview! It’s seems like the main strategy is focusing on price action related to volume. What will be considered a meaningful volume ? Is there a ratio between the float and trade volume which will indicate a meaningful volume? Thanks again for the info!
Volume is relative to the number of outstanding shares of the particular company you are trading.
Watched full video! Inspired! When my dream come to true as a profitable! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Richard, great interview!
I have a small request, I recently learned about Qullamaggie and even Goverdhan mentioned him and looks like you are aware of him too, so I was wondering will it be possible for you to have KK as a guest on TraderLion or on your other channel? I would love to learn from Qullamaggie and you are great at interviewing these amazing guests.
Thanks!
Great suggestion!
very good advice at the end of the video, thank you both,
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video thank u guys !
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed this conversation. Thank you and congrats, Goverdhan!
Glad you enjoyed it!
These intraday breakouts definitely worked a lot better than ones that took a couple weeks to setup last year. I'm not a daytrader but I basically ignored breakouts from September to December and just traded earnings pivots and did pretty well.
Can you clarify what you mean by earnings pivots?
Amazing win and humble story !! Takes a lot to admit crying alone … onwards and upwards sir 🎉
Absolutely
Great. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you both. great session. This is my 5th year in my trading journey with lots of questions that have been slowly answered by listening to you interviewing great traders. I learn something new every time. I truly enjoyed this session. Thank you both for doing this.
Great to hear!
Very interesting. Congrats on these huge results. How long were you in Minervini's MPA for?
Several years ago
I've been refreshing all day to see when this is uploaded :))
Hope you enjoy it! Worth the wait
Very nice Goverdhan,congratulations and more power to on holding on to the power moves in future,all the best ,hopefully a live scanner and a live sessions on a good day, Thanks Richard and Trader lion for this high quality content, Regards from Hyderabad.
Thanks!
Congrats to Goverdahan and many thanks for sharing your insights on trading. To Richard, you did very well in this interview, very comprehensive and you were able to bring the best in your guest as well. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Even if you have no interest in trading, the insight and self awareness talked about from about 18 minutes in - simply wonderful - guidance for anyone in any field.
Definitely!
Will try this with like 10% of my account. Even with a -44% month, jeezus. Great job man!
Go for it!
What an amazingly inspirational interview. As always Richard draws out the best in everyone but so inspiring to listen to Goverdhan. “I need to be less stupid”😂. Congratulations for your performance and looking forward to seeing your interview with Mark.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Rohit
Superb performance Govardhan
Definitely
