    I tried for 2 years. You name the strategy I tried it. What I learned was, the charts are no match for the news that happens on that particular day. After losing 20 grand I threw in the towel.

      Hey there, thanks for opening up about your trading journey. It's super valuable for others to hear real stories, especially when they might be going through a similar rough patch. You've given it a solid try with all those strategies. It does make me wonder, did you ever get to really dig deep into one or two methods and give them a fair shake before moving on? Also, I feel you on the 20 grand loss, that's tough. Did you think about switching to paper trading to hone your skills without the financial hit? It's like using training wheels before you're ready to bike downhill.
      I totally believe in looking inwards when things don't pan out. Sometimes it's not just the approach that needs tweaking, but maybe there's a bit of strategy refinement needed. But hey, hindsight is 20/20, right?
      Anyway, you’ve made your call and that's respectable. Thanks a bunch for dropping by and sharing your thoughts with everyone. Your experience is a real eye-opener! Take care and here's to you finding success in whatever you set your sights on next!

      I lost 14k in 1 day and attempted to get my losses back. Lost another 2k it was from a lawsuit so I was hurting 😭. I paper traded for 6 months learned where my mistakes were and started small. It took a few years but I got my money back and gained experience. It isn't for everyone but it's great information out there like this young lady's video. Years ago the info wasn't as available. Paper traded on TOS with a realistic amount of $100-$500 and see how you do. Utilize risk management and stop losses.

      Thank Youu! I'm really glad you appreciated the breakdown. It's super important to understand those key differences to make smart moves in the market. And yeah, that was a tough break for the person who lost 20k. Paper trading is definitely a solid suggestion-no risk of losing real cash while getting the hang of things. And our Discord is full of sharing tips and supporting each other, which could totally help avoid such big losses in the future.

    Can anybody explain the difference between the open interest put call ratio and the volume put call ratio? Thanks?

    • @BlackGirlStocks
      @BlackGirlStocks  2 месяца назад +2

      So, when we talk about the open interest put/call ratio, we're looking at the total number of open contracts (puts and calls) that haven't been settled yet. It's kind of like a snapshot of what positions traders are holding onto and haven't closed out.
      On the flip side, the volume put/call ratio is all about the action - it's counting how many put and call options were traded in a day. It gives us a vibe of how traders are moving in and out of positions on that particular day.
      In simple terms, think of open interest as a photo capturing a moment, showing you who's holding hands with whom, while volume is more like a video, showing you who's dancing with who at the party right now. They both give insights, but from slightly different angles. Hope that helps clear things up!

      @BlackGirlStocks thank you, and when I have the chart about "short volume", there are all traded positions on the seller side (buying new puts, sell old calls) - is that right?

    • @BlackGirlStocks
      @BlackGirlStocks  2 месяца назад

      @@pitmaler4439 Short volume typically represents the volume of stock shares that have been sold short. It's different from options trading (puts and calls). When someone sells a stock short, they are borrowing shares to sell with the hope of buying them back at a lower price in the future.
      So, short volume doesn't directly relate to buying new puts or selling old calls. However, there's a sentiment connection. High short volume on a stock might indicate that traders expect the price to go down, similar to how buying puts would indicate a bearish outlook.
      When you look at options, "short" refers to an options position where you have sold an option you do not own. In the context of calls, if you're selling old calls (options you've sold without owning the corresponding shares of stock), you're establishing a short call position, expecting the stock price to remain below the call strike price at expiration. On the other hand, buying new puts is taking a long put position, which also indicates a bearish market expectation, but it's separate from being on the seller side of the short volume in stock trading.

      Yes I ALWAYS recommend “The New reading For A Living” by Alexander Elder and also the study guide book because I love the way he doesn’t just tell you “this is the answer” he also gives a full breakdown of WHY and that’s everything and helps me retail information better. Highly recommend

      No worries at all Luke! I totally get where you're coming from; honestly, I'm not taken aback by your feedback on my basic video. It's an 11-minute dive into how trading and gambling are worlds apart, touching on the tools that give traders an edge. You're right; self-learning is key in this game, but if my content sparks even a tiny bit of interest or inspiration to dive into investing, then I'd say that's a win. Your opinion is valued, and it's cool to have different views in the mix. If my stuff isn't hitting the mark for you, no hard feelings! There's a whole world of content out there - might be you'll find something more up your alley elsewhere. Appreciate you checking out my video and sharing your thoughts, though!
