Those who are here for the good content will forgive the odd click-bait video and it will help get Patrick get more subs in the meantime, maybe even leading people to the rest of his quality content videos.

    I’m a finance geek to a point. I know there’s a strategy to actually do this and some succeed with it. But to me it’ll always seem like an educated game of roulette. But in the end investing and holding long term is much better for me. I’d never be able to emotionally succeed daytrading. Props to those who succeed doing it.

    In such times as this, you’ve got to make sure you consider having a diverse investment strategy. Your portfolio should have exposure to different areas of the market, including small or large-caps of ETF index, international stocks, grade bonds and alternatives like currency market (forex & digital-ledger) as this will help manage the overall risk on your portfolio

  • @Magic_beans_
    @Magic_beans_ Год назад +1

    5:00 Regarding the 1,000 share limit - Investing had much more of a hurdle to entry back then. It was typical to trade in “round lots” of 100 shares. Some brokers even required it, they wouldn’t deal in smaller “odd lots” because of the higher fees involved. If they took the request, you the investor would pay more in commissions to buy 50 shares than you would to buy 100.
    That round-lot requirement might mean each blue-chip position in your portfolio was thousands of dollars; in 1990 you’d need about $6,000 to get your first stake in Coke or IBM.
    This is also why stock splits were more common than they are now. You wouldn’t have seen someone trading at $1,000/share like Booking or Chipotle do today, because it could make them more difficult to invest in.

    I have been trading for about 6 months now and just about every trade backfires and slaps me in my face. Nearly impossible for me to catch more than a few points . I try to do top down analysis but it doesn't work for me . I say to myself, clearly I'm in the 90% that lose money, so I open a demo account, do my analysis, then take the opposite of what I would normally take and get the same result. I'm starting to feel hopeless, any advice for a struggling trader?

      @Ray smith You're correct, I don't lose money every single trade, but my main problem is trying to let my runners run. Very rarely do I catch big moves . Instead they go a few pips in my direction, then go against me if when I try holding them. Also my entries could use a lot of improvement. A mentor would be amazing, but getting one is easier said than done. If it's not too much to ask, do you know any legit ones?

      You're on the right track with taking a trade that is opposite of you'd think most amateur traders would take. You should spend some time in analysing what a top looks like, what a reversal looks like, what a pullback looks like and go over them with a fine tooth comb and disect them like a biology class. Dont use any indicator for this, all visual. Make sure you're expert in spotting these and make that you starting "bread and butter" .. don't take any other trades except these (whichever one you want really, just focus on a single setup before moving on).

      honestly its because its more a casino now... The market is soooo flooded with USD that they have to put it somewhere, so they inflate shocks to ridiculous levels, and real estate...Where else due you "store" money that these 1% dont ever spend???
