    I've been asked this about 1,000 times in the comments but as I mentioned in the video, futures are not subject to PDT rules. This allows you to day trade with less than $25k without federal restrictions.

    Shell-shocked financial backers have a lot to think about and losses to recover from after a terrible 2022. An expansion report and a wealth of other data did little to alter assumptions that the Central bank would likely keep raising interest rates regardless of whether the economy slows down, which implies that portfolios will experience more losses in the first quarter of 2023. I'm currently at a crossroads deciding whether to switch my $250k security/stock portfolio; how may I profit from the ongoing uncertain market?

      you can't. it's not said much but there are times when u. best stay out...volatility is useful, up to a point, but if fundamentals are awry the risk rises accordingly. once the risk is greater than 10% it's all no good, for safe money is better. Buffet and his gang of dip buyers start squeezing wholly owned subsidiaries and selling more auto insurance-- if the dividend isn't high they sell; and that's a glue to always make money; they buy back there own shares; or hedge w/gold which is what the small guys do. I don't do day trading because I never identified an error in short position trading, which is all day trading really is. It's not the way you trade it's how you read the markets.

    If you start with say 1k$ and you make some profits never use it in the beginning. Always use your first 1k$ till you made enough to now invest 2k and so on.
    Also set yourself a goal for the day/event. Do not get greedy. Say your goal is to make 100$ a day then just stop if you reached it. If you can hit this amount everytime or it getting quicker set a new goal and stop if you hit it.

    The number one way you messed up was what you said at the beginning, you didn't have a good plan and then secondarily you were basically risking too much each day. You should never risk more than about 10% (i'd say as a seasoned trader - but a new trader, 1-2%) of your overall account on any trade. Though I get what you were doing and honestly, most people do that exact thing, take the little bit of money they have, and trade on it each day. I started with 1,200 dollars and and in the beginning I would take a 100 dollar trade with a stop loss of 5 dollars (basically if i lost the trade i would come out with 95 dollars). It worked well for me and it really helped me get through the learning phase, because there is only so much paper trading can do and with small trades, i get all the experience and my bad trades were minimized and my good trades even if making 10 dollars or 15 dollars, were accounting for any losses i incurred before so for my case after 6 months i was break even and then i closed the year out with about 400 dollars profit which was amazing
    but very enjoyable video subbed.

    There's something interesting about just starting out and making solid gains. You have a different mind set initially; no biases. You're open to the market information, and not willing it to go in some direction, or another. You simply observe, and respond. After a few days of success, you think you've got a handle on it, and that's where you start making mistakes. That's the key to "beginner's luck", and I think the knack lies in getting back to that mental state when trading.

    As a former trader on the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, I have to say this video was quite refreshing. It's nice to see honest content about how quickly things can (and probably will) go against you. One thing, and maybe I missed it, is I think you should show how much your commissions were. Yes, you lost 1000 bucks, but I would bet that you actually traded very close to neutral, and that your commissions were the 1000 bucks you lost. That's what usually happens to most people since they are essentially flipping a coin. I'd also think another video explaining your tax situation after trading is something that merits investigation. I think most young traders go into this not realizing that at worst they might get a surprising large tax bill, but at the very least are complicating their tax situation--you probably won't be able to file that 1040EZ (if that's still a thing) anymore. Anyway, you earned a like and a sub from me. Great video!

    One rule of mine is to set stop loses to prevent me losing gains from the previous day. If I get to the point where I started the day with 5k I made trades and now I have 6k the moment I come back down to 5k I’m done for the day also I typically shoot for a 3-10% depending on how comfortable I was with the day determines the finishing gains idc if I’m in a short squeeze idc about nothing my max gain every day is 10% I’m not looking for 11% idc about making 50% or even more than that, I’m done for the day after 10% greed has killed my vibe greed has blown up my account greed will have you watch 9k turn to 75k and then you watch it go all the way back down to 25k I’m not making dumb mistakes like those ever again.

But with knowledge, discipline, and an understanding of the above principles, you can ensure you don't. You won't lose money on a US treasury bond held to maturity for example. You can even be sure to make that profit quickly, depending on how close the bond is to maturity. But in that case the profit will be very, very small.

    The problem with trading NQ with small account is your stops have to be so close that your left with scalping short term trades. That tends to get traders into using fast short term charts to trade off of what you should be doing is deciding off longer term charts then use a fast chart to get best price still have reasonable bracket stops. Sounds like you didn't use auto bracket stops really have to use these on all trades keeps you with in the rules. Don't trade the open wait 30-60 minutes and find a trend jump on stick with it for awhile. I would never try NQ with $1000 use MNQ micro NQ that way you can stop out on 20ticks risking $20 but reward of 300-1000 ticks walk away with $200-300 on a single trade.

You weren't consistent, and as a result you lost it all, and you never even started trading big. This is a great example to everyone out there who is just getting started, start small and lose small, start big and lose big.

    I feel your pain- I began trading options in June of this year with $30,000 to use- got it up to $47,000 by early October, then today, about a month and a half later, my account is below $1,700 . I lost that much that fast. Fooling around in the stock market is truly gambling, not matter what all those videos/courses/books/etc. tell you. This is the first of such that shows you the truth about trying to profit in the stock market. You need lots of LUCK- it does not go the way logic says it should or you think it should.

    Great video. You really highlighted the euphoria and the rude awakening of the lucky, early wins and then giving your profit back. The "house money" mentality is so hard to overcome when you've won some big trades. It's really easy to give it back, because you feel like you have nothing to lose. Before you know it, you've lost half your initial balance. I think we've all been there, done that. Honestly, that's even more of a problem for me when I'm swing trading or "investing." Patience isn't a virtue for me. I lose money when I'm patient. When I'm strictly day trading, I can manage the urge to average down by quickly cutting my losses and regrouping. Paper trading can only take you so far, because it's just not the same psychologically. Some lessons just need to be learned in real pain.
