  • Having a day trader strategy that makes sense and actually works is a huge key to finding consistent success in the world of day trading. If you want to learn how to make money online via day trading stocks, you need to first and foremost learn about risk management. Instead of explaining what I mean through "theory", I want to use some real life trading results to explain how I minimize my trade risk while, at the same time, maximizing the amount of money I can make within a trade. For many beginner day traders who are just getting started, they think the most important parts of trading are finding the trade and knowing "when to buy". In all actuality, the most challenging part of trading and the area that will make the post profitable difference is how you manage the trade. Trade management is a big driver in ensuring you are staying profitable in your day trading strategies and growing your account. Let me show you how this all works.

    Love this video, risk management is key. Honestly you could pick any strategy because all strategies eventually have a loser but you got to manage that. I like using your stop loss as your "take profit" to just keep going.

    Keep it up clay I love your live content, it is like nothing else I have seen on RUclips. I feel like I'm on the verge of being a profitable trader and your videos are definitely closing that gap. I was wondering, what helped you to choose what strategy is best for you? Also if you have any basic strategy refining tips I would love to hear them. I love the way you pick apart the psychology of what you're doing. it is helping me realize some of the crazy voices in my head. If you could dive a little deeper into the technical aspect of your videos, I think it would make for better content from an educational perspective.

    Your explanations are very easy to understand. Lately the problem I'm having is executing. I've tried waiting for confirmation but then it seems like its almost too long of a wait. I've tried using different time frames, for instance looking at the same ticker symbol on the 1 day 1 min and on the 1 day 5 min. My risk management has been night and day better but executing good trades has been an EXTREME challenge lately.

      ClayTrader definitely not but nothing of value is easy. I’ve spent the last 6 months 5-8 hrs a day studying and practicing. Today was a much better day. Smaller position sizes, $6,000 at most. Much more patient. All green trades for a 2% gain. Took profits sooner and used a trailing stop for the first time. Pleased with today. Again, thank you for the content..

    Dear Clay, can you do a video on intelligent/practical ways to remove profit from a trading account? I recently grew a day trading account from 1.5k to 35k during the lockdown, but am not sure when to take out money and how much to take out. I don't need the money currently, so it would just sit in my bank account, but am really scared to lose it all, because I have blown up an account in the past. On the other hand, I also want to keep money in the account so I can trade with more size to have the potential to keep growing. Please share your wisdom on this topic, because nobody talks about it at all.

    Today was my first day wielding $50k in buying power, and making real gains and losses. Clay speaks the truth... the weight of real money WILL trigger emotions, which WILL cause mistakes. I told myself I’d be cool, but emotions can always come and get you. I had to take a break at one point in the morning after I caught myself chasing... and I was only chasing because I was so much more uncomfortable losing real money than when I was paper trading. Listen to the man - TAKE PROFITS ONCE THEY APPEAR!

    Hi Clay,
    Thanks for all the great videos and free education, I really appreciate it.
    I've noticed you using the strategy and quite a few of the trades you post, and I do have two questions about it.
    First for your entry, I've noticed it seems like you go all in, and then on a winning trade you scale out as in this video. So I'm curious why you don't scale into your entry as well?
    And then a follow-up question on that, I have also noticed it seems like when you exit a losing trade you don't scale out of it. You simply have a stop, be it mental or otherwise, and you're all out. Is there a particular reason for not scaling out?

However when I looked into it more if you bought 500 shares at $184.70 that means you invested $92,350 which is something he didn’t mention in the video to only make $460.69 like I said beforehand congrats on making that money but that’s one thing you don’t discuss and I understand money can be personal but I feel like you may be giving people false hope in this regard.

    Hey clay! Thanks for videos . I was wondering when you short or even when you go long. How much of that initial money comes out of your account 500 shares x price of stock (500 x 187.50) ? Could you help or even better make a video Thanks again

      Thank you. His account was drafted almost $100k . He made $400 in a small amount but he needed $100k to do it....damn I hate being poor in cash. I'm trying to get $1k together. But I'm paying down debts first. 6 months to go.
