@@alexhowden9248 The video doesn't show a Throwing Up Cat chart pattern and cool new TradingView indicators looking like a firefight from Fortnite - a worthless video. 😡
Scrolling through these comments and seeing things like "the fact that this is free blows my mind" is proof of how much we are funneled and get used to seeing all of these gurus offering their "knowledge" behind pay walls and courses. The real gems like this vid are hidden in plain sight and all the info we need is completely free.
As a fellow 23 year old I must say man what you are doing is incredible. I found this channel after falling down the 7 levels of youtube trading hell. Being fed all this info about indicators, alligators and other garbage. Then I found Mark Douglas, Tom Hougaard, Al Brooks and then you. Before this channel, I was getting sick of videos either being too dated or too flashy, I just wanted someone to relate with and tell me how it is without the fluff. It was your video on supply and demand where you used the "Yes" meme guy for your thumbnail that made me go, holy shit finally someone who isn't trying to put on "cigar smokin, lambo whippin, cash money" vibes. Never would I have ever imagined I would chuckle out loud at a sup/dem video as well so thanks for that. But for real man, you are doing stellar stuff for this community, you re sparked the obsession to become an experienced trader and to stop getting out of my own way. Been watching day trader next door's vids as well religiously because of your recommendation as well. I feel like the gears are beginning to turn and I am starting to think about trading much differently than I did when I started a year ago and it is because of channels like yours. Anyways, keep doing you, what you are bringing to the noobs is priceless. Someday I would love to document my trading journey on the tube, but for now I must grind until I can be a valuable asset to others as you have been to me.
Ed, I agree. 97% of the difficulty in people wanting to start out in trading is siphoning through all of the B.S., and Iman helps to do that brilliantly!! How such a young guy has become so learned so fast is astonishing!
tHE aLIGATOR AND THE 5 MAGIC BULLETS. I used it, the only thing that works of that system are fractals for the break outs when they break the shit moves,, and the awesome if you are able to use it. I think in ceartin market conditions it actually works; but I cant find them. In most charts it looks like a mess. I mean if you actually are able to use the 5 magic bullets in real time and profit you are a god of trading.
Hey dude, I've been on this earth for 45 years now and I've learned a lot about people. I have no idea how old you are, but the world need more people with character like yours. Not just this trading space. Yes this space needs you more than many of them will ever know, but just keep walking through life like you do here and the world is yours my man. The icing on that cake, you will be remembered by many for what you gave back, not what you took! Hats off buddy, hats off.
Finally, someone who is genuine. The industry needs more honest traders like this who put out educational content. UA-cam is way oversaturated with fake gurus, scammers, and blatant liars in trading. This is refreshing.
I'm 54 years old. Have watched countless videos by so called gurus in the past 2 months. I have enjoyed , and gotten mor useful information from this one video than all the others. I am a subscriber and cant wait to watch more. Thank you for the time you have dedicated to us!
I've journalled literally for 10+ years and this video is a friggin gold mine of wisdom. I'm so glad to see in the comments that many appreciate the content. Unfortunately too many have been duped already, just like me. Noobs will always want to treat trading like its an app that they download & it automatically should make money for them. ENTITLEMENT. The #1 reason why people are attracted to trading in the 1st place & the very tool that those popular UA-camrs use to trick y'all. I'm so glad I found this channel. Peace
Not sure if this means much to you but I watched this in its entirety. I myself am a beginner and have spent about a year soaking up information and learning from different youtubers and whatnot. You’re the first one not to proclaim to be a pro or try to to steer me towards your discord or sell me anything. Furthermore everything you said for the most part lines up with the countless reading and research I’ve done. Bravo. You got a new subscriber!
40 years in this earth..12 years in this industry.. now only I found the best educational content for me.. refreshing and give me a lot of reminder how stupid I am in this industry.. thank you to you for made me realise that stupidity From bottom of my heart Sincerely P.M
@@michaelangelo5783 lots of it was full time. But only some of it was profitable. TLDR I wouldn't do it again if I had it to do over. But now that I did it I might as well keep doing it since I finally know what I'm doing (more or less).
Im just an old lady who cant sleep and the algo swnt you my way, but kid? I wish there were more teachers like you in the world period - not just in the furu world. Bravo.
I have no idea where I stand in terms of trading knowledge or experience, and I rarely comment on videos, but after spending thousands of hours trying to piece together mostly useless information, this has to be the most informative and educational video on the internet in general. The fact that it's free blows my mind. Thanks for posting this, and if there are any new traders reading this, this is a great place to start. rewatch this video because for most you're not going to understand everything in the first go just believe in yourself and keep going!!
This has to be one of the only big day trading videos without fake comments about how some non existent financial advisor helped a bot profit a bajillion dollars in a year. Props to that XD
Yea what’s up with that ? like there’s no way they are legit on almost every other vid … I almost fell for that shit until I happened to click on a different vid and the same comment was there .
Im 20 yrs old and about to start my trading journey, thank God I found you..I’m glad I won’t be following all these gurus and on a plus im learning from someone genuine..Im ready for all the gains and losses, thanks for the inspiration!
I'm a beginner and after one month of looking at every UA-cam video for trading and bitcoin. Yes, I made the same mistake as you and started with my money at an exchange. Not much, and what I could spare, I came to exactly the same conclusion. The majority is just telling BS and recommending positions that have already made their move. I stumbled now over this video and it confirms a lot what I thought. A few weeks ago I changed my strategy and looked at positions, investigated them by looking at data, and went in and out, taking small profits. I'm now interested in what you are advising and going to follow your information step by step. My goal is to make it my income in 2026. Thanks for this ton of information, and I will let you now in a year what became of my goal.
Absolutely one of the best videos about trading. I have been trading/learning for +6 years and I have a bachelor and a masters degrees in Finance. I could tell you that watching this video more than once and just applying what this guy is saying is going to get you so far. Thank you very much sir for your efforts!
Dude, I’m 60, and have been a party animal. No savings but great memories. That’s why I’m here. Gotta get my retirement done. Not done with this video, but you piss me off cause you are 100 percent on point. There is no easy way. It’s all hard work. Everyone else sells you “magic”. A shortcut…. You mofo, your a well deserved smack in the face. Thank you for making me confront the fact that, shit ain’t easy. I’m going to trust what your teaching. And it’s free. God bless kid. You sarcastic idgaf attitude is what I love. Thanks again. Your welcome
Hi there. I'm a french ass born in 1962 ! Yes, this video is going to save a lot of naive guys from the horde of professional liars scammers. GOD BLESS THE AUTHOR. Take a look at my comment with advises above, on spiritual trading. Peace & love
I have learned to listen to and only stick with just ONE or TWO mentor traders who are doing pretty good. The ones who are teaching from their semi lived in bedrooms doing live trades WHILE they are teaching someone are usually the best. The rest of the learning just simply comes from EXPERIENCE.. Its like anything else. The more you do it, the better you get. The more you fall down, the more you learn what NOT to do. Cooking!! I want you to cook me the BEST fried chicken EVER!! If you try once a month? That's 12 attempts. Its good, but not great. But If you try every day? Thats 365 attempts. Now your cooking with grease!! You will have failed about 30% of those attempts. Did good on 50%. But that last 20% at the end of the year? OMG!! Trust me after 365 sessions of cooking Emillio's extra crispy super sauced fried chicken? Your dish will be OUTSTANDING!! I did pretty good all last week. But I took a NICE hit today. I got too confident. Loosened up my stop loss and WHAM! Ugggh!! I knew better too! But it made me think about WHY I was doing good LAST week. Had one of those light bulb moments. That was another lesson I learned what NOT to do. I'M GLAD IT HAPPENED cause I'm wiser now. PAIN IS THE BEST TEACHER!
My first several trades I did were excellent. I made hundreds of dollars and I was doing it intuitively, no indicators, just based on the assumption that the price would eventually go back up. Then I tried watching videos about all the indicators, and I stopped making money and started losing money. Now I’m hoping to get back to more intuitive approach because that was working for me.
I've been watching you religiously for a few months now. I started trading in covid like everyone else and I always wanted to make videos explaining how I do it and what mistakes I think are important to look out for. I was too lazy, but it's an idea that was in my head. I basically gave up on the idea when I found your channel - you said everything I felt like I wanted to say and so much more, in a way that actually makes sense and can be followed. (This video is addressed to you from a few years ago, to give you the best pointers on how to figure the system out, rather than explaining what to do? That's how I imagine that you imagine it). I don't regularly watch many channels but I watch your main channel videos and second channel videos whenever they come out. You're completely right about a hell of a lot and you don't try to fluff any of it up, and that's earned you a big fan. Keep doing what you're doing.
You are a real one. As I am starting to become consistently profitable after about 2 years of trading, you have put literally all of my exact thoughts into words. The whole journey could have been so much smoother if this video existed when I was first starting.
I agree this is an excellent video. The presenter did a masterful job. However, I notice like most UA-camrs, there are also products, services being sold, and there is a lot more money in that than futures, stocks, options, or whatever.
Wasn't sure if I'd ever find a video that broke everything down so simplistic and coherent. Algorithm brought me here and couldnt be more thrilled. Started taking notes as mentioned in the video and already notice how beneficial this will be not to mention how he breaks down every aspect of trading in a way a true beginner can understand. Best video I've came across in a year of watching this type of content.
You're a legend sir, this video was fantastic. "I'd rather die than do anything besides this" - That hit me hard man. I'm almost 40, been thru several different careers, finally escaped corporate america and after starting on the path to learn trading... there's no going back. Your attitude, explanations, humor...and this video were all f***ing awesome. You solidified so many concepts and thoughts I've had about trading... just thank you. UPDATE: Last trading day before Christmas and I passed my 50k combine at Topstep!!! Thank you for your videos! @ImanTrading
@@ceotension4525 no, even the algos trade similar to prop firms, the algo guys r just very good at finding patterns most of their trades r typically few minutes to hours or even 1.5 days on the higher end. There is lot of misconceptions in finance and shit knowledge because like this guy brings up people want to make a buck out of it. One of the "best" (its claimed to be great,but shit by many people) TA books written by John J Murphy was written by a dude who wasn't a trader and wanted to make a buck off it. The info in that book is hit or miss at best. HFT is 51% win rate these guys have 49% losing trades, yet make a buck from their 1% of winning trade and the scope of trades they make.
I'm 24 and i felt like i was too late to trading, but seeing other people older than me beginning to trade motivates me to keep learning and keep saving money. Let's do this
Love your humor an it made the presentation feel like just a few minutes. Looking forward to more videos while I try my best to figure this all out. Much Love
really incredible job condensing so many insights into only an hour. very thoughtfully ordered and well-articulated, just an absolute banger of an intro video to trading. truly a must-watch for all traders, beginner or not!!! thank you for taking the time and effort to put this together, the trading community is lucky to have you 🙂
@7:52 How I found an edge(BRILLIANT!!!), @33.37 Risk/Reward ratios(Critical!!!), @50:41 Beginner Mistakes(Pure Wisdom). Jam-packed with honesty, brilliance and wisdom. Subscribed and joining your Patron.
I’m a profitable trader. Have been for more then a year constantly. You did a great service with this video. I would argue that the most important thing is to find a profitable trader and directly learn from them. Do whatever you have to do to watch them trade and ask questions. Most of trading is mental work.
Just found your channel and I'm laughing and learning a lot. Thank you. I have spent a lot, A LOT, of time watching market videos of every kind, macro, TA, patterns, candles, indicators, etc... One thing I can say is that familiarity with all these things is helpful simply for feeling more comfortable with charts and terms and price action. Beyond that, what you said was absolutely right. It wasn't until I moved past all these things and found my own style, my own edge, my own intuition that I began to find success. I've been dabbling with trading in my spare time for close to 5 years and I am finally finding success and feeling like I can do this consistently. That said, I'm learning things from your videos that I still didn't know about. I look forward to watching more of your content. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
After 5 years of invested time and money, if you had to start back over again, how would you approach the learning process differently knowing what you know now? I hope you have less trading anxiety now vs back in the day. It's a visceral feeling.
I’ve been studying non-stop for a year and half now and was currently at a point of giving up. Thanks for reminding me that this is all apart of the process. Wonderful video!
If this is your thing, it will be difficult to quit. So, may as well become an effective trader (or go gonzo with it). I've been there and return there. Keep discovering and it will click.
Took me 2 years to become profitable. For some it can even take 7 years. A big mistake some people make is they find a profitable system at like 6 months in but instead of focusing on that they are not satisfied with how quick the account grows. They start looking for ways to optimise, different strategies etc. and before you know you forgot the profitable method.
@@honestalgo exactly what happened to me man, now I realized that what I've left behind is actually what's worth working with, I want to go back to it but then I have no money now. I'll give it a rest for some time and when I come back I'll remember the mistakes I've made, the good thing about this is that every mistake is a lesson, you learn it and improve on yourself. I'm not giving up yet cos I believe this is part of who I am, so it's hard for me to just quit.
I love you for this. I’m very appreciative. Ps, your adenosine pathway isn’t active for the first 60-90minutes of the day depending on genetics so the coffee you’re chugging before market open is mostly a placebo functioning marginally through volume replacement and arginine vasopressin. Try downing LMNT first thing & hitting the caffeine later. A quick burst of daylight or staring at a video of the Caribbean will also trigger a favorable tropic cascade to make you sharper. Cheers brother. Love the humor.
Among all these good/well written comments, my comment may be simple or regular. I just want to thank you for your work to put all these together. I cried so hard after i watched till the 10 to 15 mins range (i finished it all). Why I cried was because it just resonates with me. I have been work so hard and spend countless hours on studyding and trading the market, with big losses. The only thing I know is not to give up and keep improving myself until I become a consistent, profit making trader. Yes, money is just the consequences, not the goal. Thanks again for making me releasing the intense emotion (no one really understands what I am doing). I do not need to be understood anyway, all these outsiders opinions are all external. All i need to do is to focus within and beat my own, myself. Salute, brother
Your guidance and teaching style are truly amazing! I must admit, I've been a bit slow in learning new skills, but after watching your video from two months ago, it became the foundation for my progress and helped me gauge my current trading levels. Today, I watched the video till the end, and I can confidently say that I have improved significantly since I started. I genuinely appreciate your instructions on understanding the market, building a strong mental position, and establishing rules for trading. Even after two months, I am still using a demo account, but it feels more like playing a game-a game where I invest time in training and learning the buttons and their functions. I repeat the same strategies and analyze every detail, just like I would in any other game, aiming to achieve a top rank or be among the best. I can't thank you enough for teaching in such a unique way. Your willingness to share this valuable information is truly admirable. Thank you so much! I eagerly look forward to your next video. Although this one served as a refresher, it was incredibly helpful in reminding me to stay focused. For the next two months, I will continue trading on a demo account because I know I'm not quite ready yet. However, with your lessons, I am confident that I will get there.
I'm literally addicted to your channel. Your honesty paired with your humor and the information you give is breath of fresh air. Extremely glad you made it into my recommended tab 👍
Single-handedly…one of the very best videos I have ever watched about trading in general and specifically for beginner traders I have ever seen. I am thoroughly impressed.
thank god I found you. Im studying right now and it makes me so much more understood to hear you talking and clearing the air about trading. I laughed so hard when you mentioned the major market events and that you dont care or know exactly what they are and that the most important thing is if theres a difference between expectation and reality. Thank you for making me again believe in Trading, cause this has to be real because you dont want to sell anything. I wish you and your fiance nothing but the best and that you'll stay profitable your whole life!!! Youve done so much honorable (just) by creating this video and posting it for all those poor trading beginners who will most likely lose their money thinking that theyre on the right path. Thank you so much!!
Well hell. I needed this in 2020 when I started. Credit to you my friend. I have lost more money then I can even believe trying to find my way to victory. Repeat mistake after repeat mistake. Blown up more times then I can admit. But it's time to let insanity go (doing the same things over and over hoping for a different outcome) you really said it all. Here's to those ready to follow what Iman says in this video. May the success happen for you all. Cheers.
I'm glad a friend recommended this channel, 'cause I've been trying to learn how to trade (using a demo account) and every time I am "gaining" or the candlesticks goes up or down, I place an order because I am confident that I won't lose money. I "gain" money, but I never really learn anything, I'm just a guy who place an order and watch whatever is happening on my screen pretending to be someone who knows what the heck is going on. Not gonna lie, the infos you've given in these videos are in fact helpful, but there are terms and things I have yet to really understand, so I might need to rewatch it couple more times and really understand it fully. Overall, I am thankful to you, and you've been doing all this for free, unlike the gurus who offer courses lmao, also, I love your wittiness and your way of jokes through the entire vid. New sub!
This has been one of the best videos on how to trade for beginners I have watched in its entirety. I was also delighted to have found someone that finally mentioned and elaborated on the things I was thinking and questioning about, in a manner that's enjoyable and instructive. Thanks..
Thank you so much for making this video 😊As a clinical psychologist, I’d say you definitely made the right choice with respect to career path. Psychology is a fairly brutal career field with tons of liability and few rewards (at least few monetary rewards anyway). BTW - awesome sense of humor 😂
thank you. will share with those i know who are serious about learning to do this also or with those who are nervous about what im doing (learning) and are on my desired support list. there has been no lonelier feat but has already been highly rewarding (even though i was one of the stupid ones who lost my entire account to experienced tradesman, but mostly to broken promises by fake gurus / trading schools.)
UA-cam popped your video in my feed. So glad it did. I found it very interesting and has completely changed my thought process. Thank you very much! There is no quick way to make money, otherwise everyone would be doing it.
It felt like being lost in the Amazon forest without a map just to learn the basics about trading. running into your videos is the best thing that ever happened. Thank you for making these videos @Imantrading 🙏
Finally someone on the UA-cam trading community that doesn't seem shiesty like they're getting something out of this. Gave me a good feeling that I can trust your information, thanks for keeping it simple man no extra words and wasted time just straight to the point. Excited to keep going in this new career! Thank you
This was an awesome video. Very insightful , very well done and props to you for being one of the few who actually care to pass on knowledge u have learned to the new traders coming into the markets. Really appreciate what you have done. And from such a young man is awesome.
Hey, this was one of the first videos I watched on trading as I played more and more with the idea of familiarising myself with it. It was very informative and I can tell you actually studied the market and the mechanisms behind it. I will now take a look at your other resources before actually trying some trades on a demo. Thank you
this video really is a game changer. After blowing up my $1000 account to only $200 i took a step back from trading with real money and went back to the drawing board. I got so into the idea of doing what I want when I want that I only traded with paper money for 1 month before using my hard earned money. This video helped open my eyes and I am looking forward to "pivoting" into futures. THANK YOU!
Thank you for this video, even a year later and its still consistent. im trading crypto and my problem was the stop loss, ego couldn't take a loss giving me an even bigger loss and my win-loss ratio was inconsistent, leaning more twords the loss than to the win, and after using your method today for the first time. I took many trades in the span of like 30 minutes and I was profitable today even tho I just blew 75% of my account the otherday😂 I think if I keep this up I'll make back what I tossed in no time. Great video Great channel and a Great man keep doing what you're doing and let's not get scammed in these shady markets, good luck to everyone!
Thank you for this! I am just beginning my trading journey and was initially going to trade stocks, but you've convinced me to look into futures. Thank you for providing such valuable information and for being so real about this industry.
"Teaching something is the best way to learn" Can attest to this as a high school teacher. There are so many concepts I now know like the back of my hand. This video is so concise, clear, and reliable. You've unlocked a lot of new ideas, and you've opened so many new paths for so many people to walk through-- myself included. Thanks a bunch! Hope you continue making awesome videos!
YAY! I made it to the end of the video. Thank You for all the nice compliments, I'll pass on the room though. ;-) Great video ImanTrading. Sorry it took so long for you to make, but I appreciate all the work that went into the information. If all the Guru's on YT would put that amount of time into their videos maybe the world would have less BS videos to sift through.
iman you have no idea how honest you are i'm 23 yo just like you and it's been 8 months since i started learning how to trade forex and this video alone helped me to stop watching those fake trading peoples and i will start to develope my own understanding of the markets by backtesting and journaling AGAIN thank u iman and btw ( i love your sense of humour haha )
Thank you so much for making this video, this really gave me a ton of insight on how to trade buy I just have one quick question. If you don't look at trends or ups and down when trading, how do you decide where you think the candlestick will go up or down?
I needed to hear this podcast. Thank you. It put so many things into perspective. It took doubt and turned it into confirmation. It took the fear out and instilled facts. It made risk clearer for me and finally it gave me confidence to handle losses and gratitude when I take some profits. And lastly it made sense use logic and take things at pace and consistency. Small bites are better. Well done on this video. Looking forward to watching your content...
Watching you to develop a paradigm shift. Spent over a thousand of personal money just trying it out and I've found myself spending more than I'm making. Your video is helping to undo those mental mistakes by building a foundation.
Thank you so much for being a real and quite hilarious UA-camr who keeps me engaged all the way through. I am currently 18 years old and finishing up my first semester at UA; trying to find my place in this world. I really enjoyed your video, writing more than 5 pages of notes in just over 3 hours. Glad I found your UA-cam channel, can't wait to watch and like more videos on your channel. If anyone has any advice, opportunities, or channels like Iman's please comment!
If this video won't make 1 mil views in a year, I don't what to think about our AI overlords. Seriously, this is great, and I'm great because I watched it all through. And, first of all, you're great for all your FREE content and inspirational ideas. Thank you Iman!
It was just a joke! I'm sure he didn't mean to criticize the AI. It's just an expression we humans use, he doesn't ... oh... well, I tried... Back to the topic! Yes, true words of wisdom Iman thank you!
Started my trading journey this February, blown my account once already at the start because I made the very smart decision to start with real money but then eventually went to demo, then after about a month of demo, I decided to go live again because I was getting some profits on demo and thought I was ready, eventually got to breakeven and then nearly blew the account once more. Then I discovered your video today and now I'm going to stay demo until I actually get familiar with price action. I must say, this video was very entertaining at 1am and also did teach me a lot about the mistakes beginners make which do align a lot with what I did myself too. Going to check out your other videos too to understand more about trading too since I really want to avoid those "THIS TRADING STRATEGY IS THE ONLY ONE YOU NEED" videos since that's complete BS as we all know it. Could never apply those strategies through backtesting too since it's a super specific setup that the video only shows one perfect example of. Oh yeah, I also trade forex currently, not sure if I'll try futures but I don't really understand how futures work atm so maybe that's something for the future (hah unintended).
Your 23 man that’s inspires me I’ve been head down in books and free courses demo trading live trading I’ve seen some profit and some loss taking a step back to reassess my strategy glad I found your Chanel I admire the knowledge you have off the back of your hand
Thank you so much for this video, the insights given were all relatable to me at some point or the other. We all go through different journeys in trading and regardless of your progression this video will definitely have you picking apart yourself and your trading methodology! Very well done!
You beautiful soul 😊 thank you for sharing this. I Started trading in 2018 and I WISH I had this. Everything you said was spot on. Its stuff I already knew but I Hope more newbies find this. We all had to go through growing pains to become profitable but Better to lose the money gaining experience in the market rather than buying another course. You rock Iman!! 🎉💪🏽 I wish you good fortune both in the market and in UA-cam
I agree: "WOW!". I never thought I would stick to a trading video for over 1 hour and still feel I have to rewatch it again. This is above all a communication masterpiece.
Iman, I am very grateful to have watched this video while still in my paper trading phase. Like you mentioned in the mistakes category, I am guilty of averaging down, revenge trading, and treating it more like gambling than strategy. But thanks to this video, it will help me teach me further in this learning process.
I truly never understood why people charge to join their Discord to access trading plays. Like do you not make enough money trading that you need to charge newbies???
Just think gamestop. If an influencer can get 1000 people (or more) to make a market buy, they now have the ability to trigger a pump and dump on the subscriber's dime.
This is pure Gold. You are one of the exceedingly *FEW* in the Trading Community who is speaking truth, as displeasurable it may be to some people's ears.
guys im gonna start daytrading from tomorrow, gonna watch this video tmr and then start my journey as a 18yr old wish me luck and if anyone has any extra advice please give it to me as I'm a broke uni student with no job
I love this video!! I'm in a very similar situation, although I dropped out of high school, and got into real estate investment then quickly realized I needed a better income to support my investments and family. Currently going back to school for my Fiancé but I want to do this full time while I go to school for her satisfaction lol. Really thankful I found your channel and I can honestly say you've already helped me along my journey in trading. Love you're outlook and attitude on trading, I will be a lifetime subscriber no doubt :) If you need any advice on investing in single or multifamily real estate I'd love to share what I've learned.
Sir. Thank you. I have spent lots of money and lost lots of money. I was really thinking about stopping trying to trade because of what just seems like a bunch of frauds and scammers taking advantage of people. I was just looking for good information without all the dishonesty. You are a breath of fresh air. Again thank you.
The profit from this video will make you stop trading and turn into a full time UA-camr LMAO this will be another 13k realised profit like your last hit 😂
Do you mind me asking how much, roughly, you make? I'm keeping my job, that's for sure. But what's the difference in reality, yt gurus 'making milions' vs you, the real one ( lol ) ?
It probably is the best guide ever. Light hearted and funny, cut the market fluff bs, focus on what is actually important. You're not living in the Wolf of Wall street movie You're not Warren Buffet Brian McAboy: How are you supposed to succeed by jumping into something without proper training? You're not allowed to be a truck driver without proper training. But you can open some trading account, put money in it, pick some CFDs and blow blow up your entire life before end of day. Totally fine and encouraged!
I've been training myself since 3 to 4 months now, came accros a lot of cr** on UA-cam, i am really glad to hear you say what i think inside! i only regret i didn't find your channel earlier ! great job, and wish you a lot of success (not only refering to trading)
I'm only 5 mins in and I've been dabbling for 5 years and this is already EXACTLY how I always wanted things explained. You don't learn how to build a car before you get your driver's license. You learn to drive then choose to learn. I can't tell you how many hours of fibbonaci, stochastic, RSI, swing trading, ad nauseum terminology rabbit holes that went in one ear and out the other. All this despite me spending countless hours virtual trading that just destroyed my confidence. You had my curiosity, now you have my attentions sir. 😆
I love you, don’t ever stop helping others man. Seriously. Keep bringing light to all the “gurus” who claim to know da wey. You’re one of two who I will genuinely agree with that actually know what’s going on
It’s crazy how before I started watching videos on day trading I said if these dudes talking about you can make 500$ in a day etc and all seem to say the same shit had to be bolgnia. And I told myself when I practice I’m Gona journal my hood and bad choices etc. found your Chanel and it’s like your reading my mind. So so so happy UA-cam algorithm got me here! Some one who’s brutally honest and not full of shit 🙌🏼
I don't even know what to say about this video. You have earned a diehard fan from this one video. Thank you for putting all that time and effort into just helping out!
Dude, You are my Hero in Day Trading. U just answered most of my questions re: day trading and verified lots of things I learned in my 3 years journey. Thank you so much. I just need 1k more to get my Apex PA (hopefully next week) and I promise you, I will PATREONISE you the first check I get. !!!
Hi Iman this is javier, found your channel recently and it opened up my mind to the trading community and how many grurs are in it for the money but cant trade themselves. I was won over by your trait of always being truthful weather its live trading or exposing gurus. I just finished this video and will dip my toes into futures trading. Thanks for creating this video and yt channel, i really appreciate it. Hopefully as a new young trader i can tell you good news in the months and years to come. Cheers
While this made over a year ago, know that there are people out there (me) who have just found you by pure random luck and find this video helpful. I am about 3 years into my trading journey and wish I would have found this earlier. Would have saved me a ton of money on trying to find a mentor and guidance. I am still failing to find an edge and learning as much as I can. Thank you for this video and the funny bits made it that much more enjoyable.

As a professional trader, this is not a bad video. Didn’t watch it all, just skimmed through it quickly. Not bad.
Scrolling through these comments and seeing things like "the fact that this is free blows my mind" is proof of how much we are funneled and get used to seeing all of these gurus offering their "knowledge" behind pay walls and courses. The real gems like this vid are hidden in plain sight and all the info we need is completely free.
As a fellow 23 year old I must say man what you are doing is incredible. I found this channel after falling down the 7 levels of youtube trading hell. Being fed all this info about indicators, alligators and other garbage. Then I found Mark Douglas, Tom Hougaard, Al Brooks and then you. Before this channel, I was getting sick of videos either being too dated or too flashy, I just wanted someone to relate with and tell me how it is without the fluff. It was your video on supply and demand where you used the "Yes" meme guy for your thumbnail that made me go, holy shit finally someone who isn't trying to put on "cigar smokin, lambo whippin, cash money" vibes. Never would I have ever imagined I would chuckle out loud at a sup/dem video as well so thanks for that. But for real man, you are doing stellar stuff for this community, you re sparked the obsession to become an experienced trader and to stop getting out of my own way. Been watching day trader next door's vids as well religiously because of your recommendation as well. I feel like the gears are beginning to turn and I am starting to think about trading much differently than I did when I started a year ago and it is because of channels like yours. Anyways, keep doing you, what you are bringing to the noobs is priceless. Someday I would love to document my trading journey on the tube, but for now I must grind until I can be a valuable asset to others as you have been to me.
That is incredibly kind of you, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Wishing you nothing but success, keep at it!

Finally, someone who is genuine. The industry needs more honest traders like this who put out educational content. UA-cam is way oversaturated with fake gurus, scammers, and blatant liars in trading. This is refreshing.

I'm 54 years old. Have watched countless videos by so called gurus in the past 2 months. I have enjoyed , and gotten mor useful information from this one video than all the others. I am a subscriber and cant wait to watch more. Thank you for the time you have dedicated to us!
I've journalled literally for 10+ years and this video is a friggin gold mine of wisdom. I'm so glad to see in the comments that many appreciate the content. Unfortunately too many have been duped already, just like me. Noobs will always want to treat trading like its an app that they download & it automatically should make money for them. ENTITLEMENT. The #1 reason why people are attracted to trading in the 1st place & the very tool that those popular UA-camrs use to trick y'all. I'm so glad I found this channel. Peace
Not sure if this means much to you but I watched this in its entirety. I myself am a beginner and have spent about a year soaking up information and learning from different youtubers and whatnot. You’re the first one not to proclaim to be a pro or try to to steer me towards your discord or sell me anything. Furthermore everything you said for the most part lines up with the countless reading and research I’ve done. Bravo. You got a new subscriber!
Benjamin is also pretty cool, but he's purely entertainment and doesn't upload as much these days
40 years in this earth..12 years in this industry.. now only I found the best educational content for me.. refreshing and give me a lot of reminder how stupid I am in this industry.. thank you to you for made me realise that stupidity

Full time? Profit per year?
@@michaelangelo5783 lots of it was full time. But only some of it was profitable. TLDR I wouldn't do it again if I had it to do over. But now that I did it I might as well keep doing it since I finally know what I'm doing (more or less).
Im just an old lady who cant sleep and the algo swnt you my way, but kid? I wish there were more teachers like you in the world period - not just in the furu world. Bravo.
I have no idea where I stand in terms of trading knowledge or experience, and I rarely comment on videos, but after spending thousands of hours trying to piece together mostly useless information, this has to be the most informative and educational video on the internet in general. The fact that it's free blows my mind. Thanks for posting this, and if there are any new traders reading this, this is a great place to start. rewatch this video because for most you're not going to understand everything in the first go just believe in yourself and keep going!!
How’s your trading at this point?
This has to be one of the only big day trading videos without fake comments about how some non existent financial advisor helped a bot profit a bajillion dollars in a year. Props to that XD
Yea what’s up with that ? like there’s no way they are legit on almost every other vid … I almost fell for that shit until I happened to click on a different vid and the same comment was there .

I'm a beginner and after one month of looking at every UA-cam video for trading and bitcoin. Yes, I made the same mistake as you and started with my money at an exchange. Not much, and what I could spare, I came to exactly the same conclusion. The majority is just telling BS and recommending positions that have already made their move. I stumbled now over this video and it confirms a lot what I thought. A few weeks ago I changed my strategy and looked at positions, investigated them by looking at data, and went in and out, taking small profits. I'm now interested in what you are advising and going to follow your information step by step. My goal is to make it my income in 2026. Thanks for this ton of information, and I will let you now in a year what became of my goal.
All your jokes sprinkled in while going through this educational content made it really fun to watch, this video is a masterpiece.
“…because it moves like its on crack which is similar to how my brain operates” 😂
Agreed, “when you made $4k in 6 minutes, sitting in your jacuzzi drinking apple juice’ 😂
Strongly agreed 😂
for real
Maybe I'm too old, but I found it painful.
Absolutely one of the best videos about trading. I have been trading/learning for +6 years and I have a bachelor and a masters degrees in Finance. I could tell you that watching this video more than once and just applying what this guy is saying is going to get you so far. Thank you very much sir for your efforts!

Dude, I’m 60, and have been a party animal. No savings but great memories. That’s why I’m here. Gotta get my retirement done. Not done with this video, but you piss me off cause you are 100 percent on point. There is no easy way. It’s all hard work. Everyone else sells you “magic”. A shortcut…. You mofo, your a well deserved smack in the face. Thank you for making me confront the fact that, shit ain’t easy. I’m going to trust what your teaching. And it’s free. God bless kid. You sarcastic idgaf attitude is what I love. Thanks again. Your welcome

Proverbs 27:6
"Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy."
I have learned to listen to and only stick with just ONE or TWO mentor traders who are doing pretty good. The ones who are teaching from their semi lived in bedrooms doing live trades WHILE they are teaching someone are usually the best.
The rest of the learning just simply comes from EXPERIENCE.. Its like anything else. The more you do it, the better you get.
The more you fall down, the more you learn what NOT to do.
Cooking!! I want you to cook me the BEST fried chicken EVER!!
If you try once a month? That's 12 attempts. Its good, but not great.
But If you try every day? Thats 365 attempts. Now your cooking with grease!!
You will have failed about 30% of those attempts. Did good on 50%. But that last 20% at the end of the year? OMG!!
Trust me after 365 sessions of cooking Emillio's extra crispy super sauced fried chicken? Your dish will be OUTSTANDING!!
I did pretty good all last week. But I took a NICE hit today. I got too confident. Loosened up my stop loss and WHAM! Ugggh!! I knew better too! But it made me think about WHY I was doing good LAST week. Had one of those light bulb moments. That was another lesson I learned what NOT to do. I'M GLAD IT HAPPENED cause I'm wiser now. PAIN IS THE BEST TEACHER!
Its been a year, hows your progress Emilio?
My first several trades I did were excellent. I made hundreds of dollars and I was doing it intuitively, no indicators, just based on the assumption that the price would eventually go back up. Then I tried watching videos about all the indicators, and I stopped making money and started losing money. Now I’m hoping to get back to more intuitive approach because that was working for me.
So glad i found you, loved the humour, love you for wanting to help people, honest, down to earth, open. Bless you bud
I've been watching you religiously for a few months now. I started trading in covid like everyone else and I always wanted to make videos explaining how I do it and what mistakes I think are important to look out for. I was too lazy, but it's an idea that was in my head. I basically gave up on the idea when I found your channel - you said everything I felt like I wanted to say and so much more, in a way that actually makes sense and can be followed. (This video is addressed to you from a few years ago, to give you the best pointers on how to figure the system out, rather than explaining what to do? That's how I imagine that you imagine it). I don't regularly watch many channels but I watch your main channel videos and second channel videos whenever they come out. You're completely right about a hell of a lot and you don't try to fluff any of it up, and that's earned you a big fan. Keep doing what you're doing.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the kind words and the support!
You are a real one. As I am starting to become consistently profitable after about 2 years of trading, you have put literally all of my exact thoughts into words. The whole journey could have been so much smoother if this video existed when I was first starting.
Thank you very much, and very happy to hear that!
@@billc3405 Honestly, thats hard to say lol.
So no lux algo and trading bots lol
I agree this is an excellent video. The presenter did a masterful job. However, I notice like most UA-camrs, there are also products, services being sold, and there is a lot more money in that than futures, stocks, options, or whatever.
can you please provide me how you started your journey from start and some important aspects so a new trader like me get a good roodmap ?
Wasn't sure if I'd ever find a video that broke everything down so simplistic and coherent. Algorithm brought me here and couldnt be more thrilled. Started taking notes as mentioned in the video and already notice how beneficial this will be not to mention how he breaks down every aspect of trading in a way a true beginner can understand. Best video I've came across in a year of watching this type of content.
Excellent video,very concise and easily understood.
You are delightful, honest, and so funny! You've got my subscribe. Been binge watching your videos all day. Love this all!
You're a legend sir, this video was fantastic.
"I'd rather die than do anything besides this" - That hit me hard man. I'm almost 40, been thru several different careers, finally escaped corporate america and after starting on the path to learn trading... there's no going back. Your attitude, explanations, humor...and this video were all f***ing awesome. You solidified so many concepts and thoughts I've had about trading... just thank you.

@@ceotension4525 ur just bad
sounds like you didn’t try hard enough to figure it out sir
@@ceotension4525 no, even the algos trade similar to prop firms, the algo guys r just very good at finding patterns most of their trades r typically few minutes to hours or even 1.5 days on the higher end. There is lot of misconceptions in finance and shit knowledge because like this guy brings up people want to make a buck out of it. One of the "best" (its claimed to be great,but shit by many people) TA books written by John J Murphy was written by a dude who wasn't a trader and wanted to make a buck off it. The info in that book is hit or miss at best. HFT is 51% win rate these guys have 49% losing trades, yet make a buck from their 1% of winning trade and the scope of trades they make.

I'm 24 and i felt like i was too late to trading, but seeing other people older than me beginning to trade motivates me to keep learning and keep saving money. Let's do this
Holy cow, the video goes for a whole 1 hour? It was so easy to watch that I felt it was around 15 mins! Great job, Sir!
I agree. What a fantastic speaker.
Love your humor an it made the presentation feel like just a few minutes. Looking forward to more videos while I try my best to figure this all out. Much Love

I’m a profitable trader. Have been for more then a year constantly. You did a great service with this video. I would argue that the most important thing is to find a profitable trader and directly learn from them. Do whatever you have to do to watch them trade and ask questions. Most of trading is mental work.
Just found your channel and I'm laughing and learning a lot. Thank you. I have spent a lot, A LOT, of time watching market videos of every kind, macro, TA, patterns, candles, indicators, etc... One thing I can say is that familiarity with all these things is helpful simply for feeling more comfortable with charts and terms and price action. Beyond that, what you said was absolutely right. It wasn't until I moved past all these things and found my own style, my own edge, my own intuition that I began to find success. I've been dabbling with trading in my spare time for close to 5 years and I am finally finding success and feeling like I can do this consistently. That said, I'm learning things from your videos that I still didn't know about. I look forward to watching more of your content. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
After 5 years of invested time and money, if you had to start back over again, how would you approach the learning process differently knowing what you know now? I hope you have less trading anxiety now vs back in the day. It's a visceral feeling.
I second @MattHeaven's question. I'd like to know what some of your failures were and what you wish you knew starting out.
I’ve been studying non-stop for a year and half now and was currently at a point of giving up. Thanks for reminding me that this is all apart of the process. Wonderful video!
If this is your thing, it will be difficult to quit. So, may as well become an effective trader (or go gonzo with it).
I've been there and return there. Keep discovering and it will click.
I don't know how many accounts I've blown man, I don't feel like quitting yet.
Took me 2 years to become profitable. For some it can even take 7 years. A big mistake some people make is they find a profitable system at like 6 months in but instead of focusing on that they are not satisfied with how quick the account grows. They start looking for ways to optimise, different strategies etc. and before you know you forgot the profitable method.
@@honestalgo exactly what happened to me man, now I realized that what I've left behind is actually what's worth working with, I want to go back to it but then I have no money now. I'll give it a rest for some time and when I come back I'll remember the mistakes I've made, the good thing about this is that every mistake is a lesson, you learn it and improve on yourself. I'm not giving up yet cos I believe this is part of who I am, so it's hard for me to just quit.
@@bash8972 You can keep practicing with a demo though
I love you for this. I’m very appreciative. Ps, your adenosine pathway isn’t active for the first 60-90minutes of the day depending on genetics so the coffee you’re chugging before market open is mostly a placebo functioning marginally through volume replacement and arginine vasopressin. Try downing LMNT first thing & hitting the caffeine later. A quick burst of daylight or staring at a video of the Caribbean will also trigger a favorable tropic cascade to make you sharper. Cheers brother. Love the humor.
Among all these good/well written comments, my comment may be simple or regular. I just want to thank you for your work to put all these together. I cried so hard after i watched till the 10 to 15 mins range (i finished it all). Why I cried was because it just resonates with me. I have been work so hard and spend countless hours on studyding and trading the market, with big losses. The only thing I know is not to give up and keep improving myself until I become a consistent, profit making trader. Yes, money is just the consequences, not the goal. Thanks again for making me releasing the intense emotion (no one really understands what I am doing). I do not need to be understood anyway, all these outsiders opinions are all external. All i need to do is to focus within and beat my own, myself. Salute, brother
Thank you so much for the kind words, and stay strong 🫂❤️
Your guidance and teaching style are truly amazing! I must admit, I've been a bit slow in learning new skills, but after watching your video from two months ago, it became the foundation for my progress and helped me gauge my current trading levels. Today, I watched the video till the end, and I can confidently say that I have improved significantly since I started. I genuinely appreciate your instructions on understanding the market, building a strong mental position, and establishing rules for trading. Even after two months, I am still using a demo account, but it feels more like playing a game-a game where I invest time in training and learning the buttons and their functions. I repeat the same strategies and analyze every detail, just like I would in any other game, aiming to achieve a top rank or be among the best. I can't thank you enough for teaching in such a unique way. Your willingness to share this valuable information is truly admirable. Thank you so much! I eagerly look forward to your next video. Although this one served as a refresher, it was incredibly helpful in reminding me to stay focused. For the next two months, I will continue trading on a demo account because I know I'm not quite ready yet. However, with your lessons, I am confident that I will get there.
Hey thank you so much for the kind words. I’m super happy to hear that you’re learning responsibly and in an effective way 😄
I'm literally addicted to your channel. Your honesty paired with your humor and the information you give is breath of fresh air. Extremely glad you made it into my recommended tab 👍

Single-handedly…one of the very best videos I have ever watched about trading in general and specifically for beginner traders I have ever seen. I am thoroughly impressed.
I appreciate that a lot. Thank you!
I have shared this video on all possible platforms and social media keep up the good work Iman Trading
Absolutely nailed it. Every bit. THIS is day trading.
thank god I found you. Im studying right now and it makes me so much more understood to hear you talking and clearing the air about trading. I laughed so hard when you mentioned the major market events and that you dont care or know exactly what they are and that the most important thing is if theres a difference between expectation and reality.
Thank you for making me again believe in Trading, cause this has to be real because you dont want to sell anything.
I wish you and your fiance nothing but the best and that you'll stay profitable your whole life!!! Youve done so much honorable (just) by creating this video and posting it for all those poor trading beginners who will most likely lose their money thinking that theyre on the right path. Thank you so much!!
Sure, now all you need to do is figure out what expectations are. Good luck.
Well hell. I needed this in 2020 when I started. Credit to you my friend. I have lost more money then I can even believe trying to find my way to victory. Repeat mistake after repeat mistake. Blown up more times then I can admit. But it's time to let insanity go (doing the same things over and over hoping for a different outcome) you really said it all. Here's to those ready to follow what Iman says in this video. May the success happen for you all. Cheers.
Thanks Iman, you did it - The best training video ever, the amount of time you spent really shows! Very much appreciated!
I'm glad a friend recommended this channel, 'cause I've been trying to learn how to trade (using a demo account) and every time I am "gaining" or the candlesticks goes up or down, I place an order because I am confident that I won't lose money. I "gain" money, but I never really learn anything, I'm just a guy who place an order and watch whatever is happening on my screen pretending to be someone who knows what the heck is going on. Not gonna lie, the infos you've given in these videos are in fact helpful, but there are terms and things I have yet to really understand, so I might need to rewatch it couple more times and really understand it fully. Overall, I am thankful to you, and you've been doing all this for free, unlike the gurus who offer courses lmao, also, I love your wittiness and your way of jokes through the entire vid. New sub!
This has been one of the best videos on how to trade for beginners I have watched in its entirety. I was also delighted to have found someone that finally mentioned and elaborated on the things I was thinking and questioning about, in a manner that's enjoyable and instructive. Thanks..
Thank you so much for making this video 😊As a clinical psychologist, I’d say you definitely made the right choice with respect to career path. Psychology is a fairly brutal career field with tons of liability and few rewards (at least few monetary rewards anyway). BTW - awesome sense of humor 😂
Agreed. Coming from another psychologist
thank you. will share with those i know who are serious about learning to do this also or with those who are nervous about what im doing (learning) and are on my desired support list. there has been no lonelier feat but has already been highly rewarding (even though i was one of the stupid ones who lost my entire account to experienced tradesman, but mostly to broken promises by fake gurus / trading schools.)
I think you did a good job in explaining why becoming a successful trader is extremely hard
UA-cam popped your video in my feed. So glad it did. I found it very interesting and has completely changed my thought process. Thank you very much! There is no quick way to make money, otherwise everyone would be doing it.
It felt like being lost in the Amazon forest without a map just to learn the basics about trading. running into your videos is the best thing that ever happened. Thank you for making these videos @Imantrading 🙏
Finally someone on the UA-cam trading community that doesn't seem shiesty like they're getting something out of this. Gave me a good feeling that I can trust your information, thanks for keeping it simple man no extra words and wasted time just straight to the point. Excited to keep going in this new career! Thank you
no one does anything without getting something out of it.
This was an awesome video. Very insightful , very well done and props to you for being one of the few who actually care to pass on knowledge u have learned to the new traders coming into the markets. Really appreciate what you have done. And from such a young man is awesome.
Hey, this was one of the first videos I watched on trading as I played more and more with the idea of familiarising myself with it. It was very informative and I can tell you actually studied the market and the mechanisms behind it. I will now take a look at your other resources before actually trying some trades on a demo.
Thank you
this video really is a game changer. After blowing up my $1000 account to only $200 i took a step back from trading with real money and went back to the drawing board. I got so into the idea of doing what I want when I want that I only traded with paper money for 1 month before using my hard earned money. This video helped open my eyes and I am looking forward to "pivoting" into futures. THANK YOU!
Thank you for this video, even a year later and its still consistent. im trading crypto and my problem was the stop loss, ego couldn't take a loss giving me an even bigger loss and my win-loss ratio was inconsistent, leaning more twords the loss than to the win, and after using your method today for the first time. I took many trades in the span of like 30 minutes and I was profitable today even tho I just blew 75% of my account the otherday😂 I think if I keep this up I'll make back what I tossed in no time. Great video Great channel and a Great man keep doing what you're doing and let's not get scammed in these shady markets, good luck to everyone!
Thank you for this! I am just beginning my trading journey and was initially going to trade stocks, but you've convinced me to look into futures. Thank you for providing such valuable information and for being so real about this industry.
Great work! You give out useful information in a clear but also casual manner that makes the content easy to understand. Subscribed.
"Teaching something is the best way to learn" Can attest to this as a high school teacher. There are so many concepts I now know like the back of my hand.
This video is so concise, clear, and reliable. You've unlocked a lot of new ideas, and you've opened so many new paths for so many people to walk through-- myself included. Thanks a bunch! Hope you continue making awesome videos!
YAY! I made it to the end of the video. Thank You for all the nice compliments, I'll pass on the room though. ;-) Great video ImanTrading. Sorry it took so long for you to make, but I appreciate all the work that went into the information. If all the Guru's on YT would put that amount of time into their videos maybe the world would have less BS videos to sift through.
Bro. Best UA-cam video I’ve seen. So glad I found you
iman you have no idea how honest you are i'm 23 yo just like you and it's been 8 months since i started learning how to trade forex and this video alone helped me to stop watching those fake trading peoples and i will start to develope my own understanding of the markets by backtesting and journaling
AGAIN thank u iman and btw ( i love your sense of humour haha )
Thank you for sharing this guide! 😊 It's comprehensive and really helpful! 👍
Thank you so much for making this video, this really gave me a ton of insight on how to trade buy I just have one quick question. If you don't look at trends or ups and down when trading, how do you decide where you think the candlestick will go up or down?
I needed to hear this podcast. Thank you. It put so many things into perspective. It took doubt and turned it into confirmation. It took the fear out and instilled facts. It made risk clearer for me and finally it gave me confidence to handle losses and gratitude when I take some profits. And lastly it made sense use logic and take things at pace and consistency. Small bites are better. Well done on this video. Looking forward to watching your content...
I think this is probably the best trading video on UA-cam. I've been in the trading thing for +25 years and have to say you have it bang on.
Watching you to develop a paradigm shift. Spent over a thousand of personal money just trying it out and I've found myself spending more than I'm making. Your video is helping to undo those mental mistakes by building a foundation.
Thank you so much for being a real and quite hilarious UA-camr who keeps me engaged all the way through. I am currently 18 years old and finishing up my first semester at UA; trying to find my place in this world. I really enjoyed your video, writing more than 5 pages of notes in just over 3 hours. Glad I found your UA-cam channel, can't wait to watch and like more videos on your channel. If anyone has any advice, opportunities, or channels like Iman's please comment!
Alabama?
If this video won't make 1 mil views in a year, I don't what to think about our AI overlords. Seriously, this is great, and I'm great because I watched it all through. And, first of all, you're great for all your FREE content and inspirational ideas. Thank you Iman!
Haha thank you very much :)
It was just a joke! I'm sure he didn't mean to criticize the AI. It's just an expression we humans use, he doesn't ... oh... well, I tried... Back to the topic! Yes, true words of wisdom Iman thank you!
Started my trading journey this February, blown my account once already at the start because I made the very smart decision to start with real money but then eventually went to demo, then after about a month of demo, I decided to go live again because I was getting some profits on demo and thought I was ready, eventually got to breakeven and then nearly blew the account once more. Then I discovered your video today and now I'm going to stay demo until I actually get familiar with price action. I must say, this video was very entertaining at 1am and also did teach me a lot about the mistakes beginners make which do align a lot with what I did myself too. Going to check out your other videos too to understand more about trading too since I really want to avoid those "THIS TRADING STRATEGY IS THE ONLY ONE YOU NEED" videos since that's complete BS as we all know it. Could never apply those strategies through backtesting too since it's a super specific setup that the video only shows one perfect example of. Oh yeah, I also trade forex currently, not sure if I'll try futures but I don't really understand how futures work atm so maybe that's something for the future (hah unintended).
Your 23 man that’s inspires me I’ve been head down in books and free courses demo trading live trading I’ve seen some profit and some loss taking a step back to reassess my strategy glad I found your Chanel I admire the knowledge you have off the back of your hand
Thank you so much for this video, the insights given were all relatable to me at some point or the other. We all go through different journeys in trading and regardless of your progression this video will definitely have you picking apart yourself and your trading methodology! Very well done!
Big chad who is real and exposes Gurus.
You beautiful soul 😊 thank you for sharing this. I Started trading in 2018 and I WISH I had this. Everything you said was spot on. Its stuff I already knew but I Hope more newbies find this. We all had to go through growing pains to become profitable but Better to lose the money gaining experience in the market rather than buying another course. You rock Iman!! 🎉💪🏽 I wish you good fortune both in the market and in UA-cam
I agree: "WOW!". I never thought I would stick to a trading video for over 1 hour and still feel I have to rewatch it again. This is above all a communication masterpiece.
My GOD this is the single most useful and sincere trading video I have ever seen. Unvaluable work mate thank you so much!
Iman, I am very grateful to have watched this video while still in my paper trading phase. Like you mentioned in the mistakes category, I am guilty of averaging down, revenge trading, and treating it more like gambling than strategy. But thanks to this video, it will help me teach me further in this learning process.
I truly never understood why people charge to join their Discord to access trading plays. Like do you not make enough money trading that you need to charge newbies???
Just think gamestop. If an influencer can get 1000 people (or more) to make a market buy, they now have the ability to trigger a pump and dump on the subscriber's dime.
you're doing Gods work. Thank you so much for all you do. God is great, i'll pray for you always
Listened to audio only. Love your humor. Great flow. Very informative. Ty.
This is pure Gold. You are one of the exceedingly *FEW* in the Trading Community who is speaking truth, as displeasurable it may be to some people's ears.
guys im gonna start daytrading from tomorrow, gonna watch this video tmr and then start my journey as a 18yr old wish me luck and if anyone has any extra advice please give it to me as I'm a broke uni student with no job
Same age as well and about to go into college. I saved up some money I made and devoted a fraction of that into my broker. Good luck bro
How’s it go gang lemme know if you had to sell grandmas tv to make ends meet 🙏
@@nerrorr6033I'm putting small amounts from my warehouse paycheck bonus 4weekly so see how it goes
Never give up and FWTS
I love this video!! I'm in a very similar situation, although I dropped out of high school, and got into real estate investment then quickly realized I needed a better income to support my investments and family. Currently going back to school for my Fiancé but I want to do this full time while I go to school for her satisfaction lol. Really thankful I found your channel and I can honestly say you've already helped me along my journey in trading. Love you're outlook and attitude on trading, I will be a lifetime subscriber no doubt :) If you need any advice on investing in single or multifamily real estate I'd love to share what I've learned.
did blud fart at 10:23 ?
Sir. Thank you. I have spent lots of money and lost lots of money. I was really thinking about stopping trying to trade because of what just seems like a bunch of frauds and scammers taking advantage of people. I was just looking for good information without all the dishonesty. You are a breath of fresh air. Again thank you.
just started watching u today and i feel i can trust you keep up the good work bro
The profit from this video will make you stop trading and turn into a full time UA-camr LMAO this will be another 13k realised profit like your last hit 😂
Do you mind me asking how much, roughly, you make? I'm keeping my job, that's for sure. But what's the difference in reality, yt gurus 'making milions' vs you, the real one ( lol ) ?
It probably is the best guide ever. Light hearted and funny, cut the market fluff bs, focus on what is actually important.
You're not living in the Wolf of Wall street movie
You're not Warren Buffet
Brian McAboy: How are you supposed to succeed by jumping into something without proper training?
You're not allowed to be a truck driver without proper training. But you can open some trading account, put money in it, pick some CFDs and blow blow up your entire life before end of day. Totally fine and encouraged!
I've been training myself since 3 to 4 months now, came accros a lot of cr** on UA-cam, i am really glad to hear you say what i think inside! i only regret i didn't find your channel earlier ! great job, and wish you a lot of success (not only refering to trading)
I'm only 5 mins in and I've been dabbling for 5 years and this is already EXACTLY how I always wanted things explained.
You don't learn how to build a car before you get your driver's license. You learn to drive then choose to learn.
I can't tell you how many hours of fibbonaci, stochastic, RSI, swing trading, ad nauseum terminology rabbit holes that went in one ear and out the other.
All this despite me spending countless hours virtual trading that just destroyed my confidence.
You had my curiosity, now you have my attentions sir. 😆
New forex trader here...This is one of the best video on Trading I have seen.
being funny and providing value is a very rare ability and you my friend, you're one of those people
I love you, don’t ever stop helping others man. Seriously. Keep bringing light to all the “gurus” who claim to know da wey. You’re one of two who I will genuinely agree with that actually know what’s going on
It’s crazy how before I started watching videos on day trading I said if these dudes talking about you can make 500$ in a day etc and all seem to say the same shit had to be bolgnia. And I told myself when I practice I’m Gona journal my hood and bad choices etc. found your Chanel and it’s like your reading my mind. So so so happy UA-cam algorithm got me here! Some one who’s brutally honest and not full of shit 🙌🏼
The audio at each new section absolutely kills me. Thank you for this resource!
I don't even know what to say about this video. You have earned a diehard fan from this one video. Thank you for putting all that time and effort into just helping out!
Thank you :)
Dude, You are my Hero in Day Trading. U just answered most of my questions re: day trading and verified lots of things I learned in my 3 years journey. Thank you so much. I just need 1k more to get my Apex PA (hopefully next week) and I promise you, I will PATREONISE you the first check I get. !!!
This video is a MUST WATCH for all new traders, wish I had seen this 20 years ago, Thank You
Hi Iman this is javier, found your channel recently and it opened up my mind to the trading community and how many grurs are in it for the money but cant trade themselves. I was won over by your trait of always being truthful weather its live trading or exposing gurus. I just finished this video and will dip my toes into futures trading. Thanks for creating this video and yt channel, i really appreciate it. Hopefully as a new young trader i can tell you good news in the months and years to come. Cheers
While this made over a year ago, know that there are people out there (me) who have just found you by pure random luck and find this video helpful. I am about 3 years into my trading journey and wish I would have found this earlier. Would have saved me a ton of money on trying to find a mentor and guidance. I am still failing to find an edge and learning as much as I can. Thank you for this video and the funny bits made it that much more enjoyable.
