    EXTREMELY IMPORTANT PSA: There are a number of accounts using our name and profile picture to pretend to be me and steal money from viewers. 1 - I do not have a Telegram, Whatsapp, or Discord account. 2 - I will NEVER ask you for money. 3 - I will NEVER ask for money/cryptocurrency and say I will trade for you. 4 - I will NEVER ask you for a payment in any cryptocurrency. 5 - DO NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THESE ACCOUNTS. They are pretending to be me and trying to steal your money. I currently have two full-time employees that delete these comments daily. But, some still get through. So, please be extremely careful and never give someone cryptocurrency or money that is pretending to be me. AGAIN, I DO NOT HAVE A TELEGRAM, WHATSAPP, OR DISCORD ACCOUNT, I WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR MONEY OR TRADE FOR YOU, I WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR A PAYMENT IN CRYPTO. DO NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THESE ACCOUNTS.
    Also, there are a number of fake IG accounts doing the same exact thing. The ONLY Instagram accounts we run are @stevenkiethhart and @thetradingchannel anything else is not me/us.

    there is a way which makes everything clear . the regular moveable line indicates average price between selling price and buying price. so, go to chart settings and enable bid and ask lines. and then it appears three lines, one the regular line, one selling price line and one buying price line.

    I've been trading 3 yrs now and experienced everything you mentioned in this video. I made adjustments without really knowing the 'why' of it. Meaning when I scalp or trade on lower timeframes I don't use sl or tp because I'm watching the trade. But on higher time frames and when I'm swinging I use both. I did this because I would say the broker is playing with the spreads. But you just explained the why of it. Thanks bro!

    I really needed this video. I’ve been paper trading and I was having an issue with having losses even though my entry points were above current prices on low volume sales but now I understand why and it’s because of spread. Thanks 🙏🏻

      @josuelopez9991 Год назад

      @@oghenekumejohn2291 basically, the thing called spread is the difference between the bid (buyers) and the ask (sellers). Brokers profit off this. So, whenever you place a market order, you are either buying at the ask (the lowest price a seller is willing to receive) or selling at the bid (the highest price a buyer is willing to pay). Remember, for a trade to occur there is a seller and a buyer. So, this means that when, for example, you buy a security, your not necessarily buying it at the price it’s currently valued at but at the lowest price a seller (ask) is willing to sell you for. I hope this helps.

    At 1:15 I think it was wrong. The bid is the buy price, sell is ask if you do a google search

    @codycepeda5732 3 года назад +1

    this totally is something that happened to me (that's why I subscribed) and it just is hurtful to think you just want to get in and get out fast but the spread just to big that most of the trades are a loss

    Thank you! I thought I was doing something really wrong and couldn't understand why I was getting stopped out before I hit targets! think i should have known this from the beginning! Yet another case of not knowing what i don't know to ask about!

    Awesome video! I have a question for anyone who is reading this or having the same trouble. How to find spread of price history, when you look at the past trades? I think it is very important for backtesting the strategy.
