The Most Important Lesson I Can Teach You (Day Trading Secrets)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- If you are new to day trading and just getting started with the stock market (and want to learn how to trade profitably), the lesson I cover in the video is the true secret to success. To offer a little spoiler, this secret is nothing fancy and in all actuality, is very anti-climatic. Whether you believe me or not, all I would ask is please find a successful trader you do know and ask them if what I talk about is true. Anyone who is a successful day trader and makes money consistently online with stocks will agree that the strategy I show you is by far the most important lesson you could learn as a beginner. If you focus on what I show you and practice good habits and strategies from the start, you are giving yourself a true chance at success within the stock market.

I feel like there's someone behind the computer waiting for me to buy/sell JUST to reverse the damn price.
Keep the hole small
I know the feeling!
SAME!
Glad I'm not the only one!
@@justinpeterson7246 lol... given all the Thumbs Up his comment got, you certainly are not the only one!

Really appreciate your transparency. The one thing I learned from you that Jared and Ross do not emphasize is having realistic expectations. To efficiently make $100 on a trade your trade size needs to be $50k. In order to get in and make $50 and get out in a few seconds I usually buy 100 shares of "STOCK" at $280 and when it gets to $280.50 I can get out. So it means I must have account size so that this one trade needs $28,000 by itself. When I tell people who do not trade or do not trade this way they are very surprised. I traded a small account for the first 2 years expecting $200 a day and was getting tore up every time I tried to scale up because I was waiting too long in a position.
Thanks! Lesson: To efficiently make $100 on a trade your trade size needs to be $50k And have your finger on the rip chord.
Good thoughts. Thanks!
1 min into the video and boom! reverse psychology. I’m trusting you pal.
Was just thinking that. Clay:Dont trust me Me:I trust you with my life sir.
I'm not that smart lol
@@claytrader What platform is this?
@@easilyoffended7772 here you go claytrader.com/resources/
Like minded I was thinking he know that we all studied a little psychology. Slide devil trying to reverse my thought process.
Clay: loses 120 dollars
Me: is down 8 dollars “NOOOOOO”
haha, we all start somewhere!
Exactly! Or your SO asks you how you did and you only tell her the profits and leave out the stocks that will "eventually" recover.
@@supermanprime6758 All too real bro
I remember about two years/three ago I was the proud owner of 4 shares of $10-20 pot stocks and it drove me crazy and it would be $1-3 dollars up or down that day. Now I will be -$600 in the hole in Tesla stock and I just kind of shrug it off. It's all relative I guess :)
Love your honesty Clay, I watch all your videos, a lot of the stuff goes over my head but I still keep watching and learning.

I’m beyond lucky to watch your live action till the end! Thank you for sacrificing your time and money to educate anyone who are interested in stock but have no clue where to begin. This is very informative and I feel like I already know everything I need to start small around $500-$1000. By the way first time watching 👍🏻
You'll learn even more here!!! claytrader.com/takecontrol/
Keep the whole small. You are the most real trader I have ever seen. You trade in large size that I usually don’t trade. Normally I trade half your size but I can’t agree more with EVERYTHING you say. Great great points you make.
I appreciate that!
"Keep the hole small!" - yup, made it to the end...
cheers!
Keep the hole small
Me too😉
This channel deserves more views. It only took me two videos to realize how much time and effort Clay puts into his content. He makes some of the more complicated topics straightforward and easy to understand. Gets a like from me, keep it up.
thanks for the kind words
These videos are super helpful to watch an experienced trader working through his thoughts in real time. There is so much bad info or spam on the internet about stocks. Thank you sir for the education I get with each video! 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Almost two years late but.... "Keep the hole small". Now I know the true power of the stop loss and the psychology of a winning mindset. These videos are greatly appreciated.
Boom!
Lost 4500 today for not keeping the hole small and for being stubborn. Thanks for the lesson Clay
Thanks for sharing that! I hope you can get it back.
I took a big lost yesterday on my paper account (Still learning).
I should have put a stop lost.
Great video, thanks Man !! I am thinking to subscribe to your class

Were you long USO too like my dumbass. Good lesson to research more into how these etfs hold their positions. Fingers crossed.
@@mistermobile2615 ouch... sorry to hear!
Woow its interesting how every trader have their own strategy. Its definitely fun to watch at least.
Cheers
I’m just confused why when he sells he wants to sell at a lower price and why when he clicks buy is the price usually higher? I am obviously missing something here
I'm doing this claytrader.com/videos/shorting-going-short/
@@claytrader I was wondering the same thing. The for the video clarification.
@@AS-yk7kc glad it could help!
I love these long vids, it gives time to go over everything rather than people who condense to a 10 min video. I find that I fully watch through a a long video more than I do for a 10 minute video.
Thanks for the feedback Greg!
This man replied to every comment wow. Just wow the fact that he can just day trade profitably and leave us all alone but he’s here is amazing keep it up your amazing bro!!! Keep the hole small!
Thanks Kevin!
"Keep the Hole Small" Watched the whole video, like I do every time.
cheers
NAME ONE DAY TRADER THAT IS LEGITIMATE AND POST AUDITED BROKERAGE STATEMENTS
@@markoticz what does that have to do with anything? are you saying the lesson i'm teaching here is not valid?
@@claytrader no i never said that...i just feel like 99 percent of people who teach or offer class for rediculous amount of money like 8k forna class... but they dont show any track records... thats why i want you ornsomeone to name me a youtuber with track record
@@markoticz Clay doesn't have to prove anything to me. He taught me how to trade. How clay trades doesn't dictate how I need to trade. I paid for his whole CTU package. I rarely go in his chat room because I only trade one thing and that is SPX.
Here's something to help you along with the RUclips algorithm: KEEP THE DAMN HOLE SMALL! :)
Cheers!!! (thanks)
"Keep the Hole Small"
cheers
Preach brotha. I lost $1057 by not honoring my stop loss. I thought it would come back up, but it just kept falling. No worries, the next few days I made up for it. Live another day!
Glad you got it back!
I appreciate your taking time out to share your knowledge with everyone on the community. There aren't many as honest and genuine as you. Plz keep doing this.
I appreciate that!
Keep the hole small! (if only I could remember that every time, I have done it perhaps 90% of the time, the other 10% it's been... nasty)
Yup, it can get nasty in a hurry
"Keep the hole small"
cheers
Great advice. So many times I stay in a trade and watch it keep going the wrong way thinking I'm going to be an investor. Then, by the end of the day or the next, I decide that it's time to get out by which time I'm down a lot of money. So, I usually day trade in stocks that I wouldn't mind holding long term in case it goes quickly against me. Such a psychological thing, however.
Indeed!
Made it all the way to the end. I'm new to your account but not new to your content. You're a good teacher and your videos are clear and very much educational. I love'em. Keep it up.
Thanks for watching!
“Keep the hole small” definitely earned a subscriber, appreciate what you do.
Thanks for the sub!
Keep the hole small. New follower and grateful to have found you. Finally a trader channel without fluff/bs
Welcome to the channel Matt!
3 years later, made it all the way through... keep the hole small! Rookie to trading and your videos have been super helpful :)
Nice work!
Ur right most people will just see that you fought back but don't understand the importance of rules and discipline .. Thank you that was one hell of a lesson for me . Keep the hole small.
Well said!
Thank you for all this information! I am just getting into day trading, starting off on a paper trading account before I use real money. I really appreciate you having these videos out there for people like me to learn.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank for this, this will save thousands of dollars. I believe the second most important lesson, which kind of goes hand in hand with this, is dont be greedy. I cant tell you how many times I was up $100 and didn't sell and ended up at minus $2000.
Cheers
"Keep the whole small" This channels elite man
Cheers!
"Keep the hole small" .... appreciate your humility and transparency... continued success :)
Cheers
Keep the hole small. That's why I'm still in the game after 25 years. Great videos.
Cool, thanks!
Yes I watched the whole video. I agree with what you basically said, "do not be greedy, a lot of small wins turns out to be a big win in the end.
Thanks for watching!
I am just kidding Clay. I appreciate you teaching people and talking about the markets. This "game" is tough and we need players.
You must be bored.....
The most important lesson, "You have to be 100% objective when you have voices inside your head"
Indeed
@@claytrader I had this doubt for a long time that should I agree with voices inside my head or not? but when I started applying that on every trade it made things so much clear for me
@@mk_4567 great!
That's why even before placing the trade, the first 2 things you have to KNOW... What's my target risk out and what's my risk to reward. You let the trade go to those 2 places ONLY... RISK = LOSS or REWARD = WIN. Those are the only 2 places we should ever exit trades... and while it's moving you leave it alone. Yes, sometimes we get stopped out before it goes our way. Yes sometimes it goes our way only to collapse and take us out. We MUST let the market do that to us because the game we are playing is not with our own mind, but with our self-discipline. We will never be able to predict markets 100% of the time but we can predict ourselves and our consistency. We have to get out of our own way when trading... micro managing trades EVENTUALLY ALWAYS leads to us making the wrong decisions... especially when emotion is working its way through us while we are in a trade.
Good thoughts!
Keep the hole small. By far the most informative video I’ve seen to date. This one was an eye-opener and a game changer.
Thanks for watching Ben!
Managing risk is the biggest lesson of this session.
indeed
Keep the hole small! Words to live by in trading.
cheers
As someone new to trading, it seems counter-intuitive to see "prices went up, oh no", but that's because you're playing to short, and essentially "selling high (on borrowed funds?), THEN buying low"... right? I always think you'd want to buy low and sell high, but that's what seems so weird.
Great videos, following them all very closely as I'm just getting started, and using replays and papermoney to get the feel of various UIs and an understanding of these different types of strategies. Watching you pull the trigger on 1500 shares, and then be happy with 42$ in the green is humbling as well. People think they're going to walk into a casino, put down $100 on roulette, and hit that exact number. That's just not how it works.
Great content, thanks for taking the time to post these.
More context on it here claytrader.com/videos/shorting-going-short/
"Im up 30 i gotta get outta here cause im about to go lamborghini shopping" 😂 oh yeah keep the small holes. Thanks for the video definantly gonna watch more. Love to be my own boss. I just quit my job today!😂
Thanks for watching! Big move on your part!
Keep the hole small. This is my first trade I've ever watched. Thanks
Cheers!
I watched the whole video but I don't know how trading works. I just doing buy low n sell high stocks things atm on Webull. But what you're doing is opposit. You are good at it to be honest and good at teachin.

Keep the hole small.
This was quite useful. It is crazy how much trading is simply managing your psychology and being mechanic instead of emotional.
Cheers!
Keep the hole tight!
Cheers
Great... your patience and mind control is appreciable....I think i trader should at least find 3 levels before taking trade-Entry, SL and Target. and after completing one trade , should give a pause before taking next trade..
Thanks for the thoughts
Keep the hole small !!!!! Loved the video and appreciate your transparency.
Cheers
"Keep the hole small" Iv been watching your videos for the last few weeks, I finally started an account to play a bit more in the market, Iv been trading a bit with my 401k and have actually been able to stop my standard payments into the 401k and replace it with the earnings from a few day trades a week. I have then been following the "Dave Ramsey" approach of clearing debt. Long story short, I am $1000 away from the "pre corona crash" value of my 401k not crazy but up 64% last week.
Well done!
Keep the hole small!!! And definitely subscribed!!!
welcome to the channel!
Took a lose today. I didn’t honor my stop loss. Lesson learned. Made it back on LCID today. 😅
Glad you learned!

Great suggestion!
Thank You for these live trading videos they help A LOT! Understanding that even people experienced as you can be wrong but its ok as long as we respect risk management. Like you said better stay in the fight than lose your account.

I am impressed with how quickly you make your decisions while trading. However, I was a bit shocked that you’d short ZM when it had higher lows and higher highs, but as I watched I noticed you base your trades on a much small timeframe than I do. Overall, very impressive.
Thanks for watching!
@@claytrader you’re welcome! I like how you talked about higher lows and higher highs in your video today! Keep ‘em coming.
@@south_paw cheers
My man! Your videos are fantastic!

How do you know when to get in ? I can’t tell what your looking at in order to make the decision to get in? Do you cover this in depth within your course?
Yes, I very much cover that topic and many others. claytrader.com/takecontrol/
Can someone explain something to me? I don't understand how buying BIG for $117 at 9:00 then selling for $123 at 9:50 is bad/ creates a $3,000 loss? I am having a hard time following. (new investor thanks)

Keep the hole small! Great videos. Thank you!
Thanks, will do!
I’m curious to your risk management parameters…do you have a set ceiling or floor when you trade a stock either for a gain or for a loss? Something like a 20% gain or no more than a %20 loss? I apologize if this is hard for you to understand I’m still learning this and I’m trying to learn the specifics of going into the trade beforehand.
if you're interested in "talking stocks/trading in general", you are more than welcomed to join my private community - claytrader.com/team/
Liked what I saw, subbed. I've been losing cause I let the losses accumulate past 10% than 20 then 30 then 70 then........I sell.
Not a winning strategy. That was a live trade I needed to see.
Thanks
