    Awesome video!! I took an entire page of notes from one simple concept. It is amazing the things you can learn by watching these you tube videos. @Ross you do a great job of introducing simple concepts in these videos while also going into depth about 1 certain subject. I cant believe more people are not watching these free videos. #knowledgeispower

    This is a super important factor for me. I’ve learned my lesson trading stocks with larger float (around 100million)- these stocks defo do not fit my trading style. Made a mental note to Stay away! Even if they’re gapping- they are slow, painful death.

    was just in your webinar. great info and super excited to someday afford the courses. I was frustrated at first that you say you are helping regular people with the course when having 4 k disposable income isnt actually all that regular for most the population... but these videos are really informative and detailed and..free. I apoligize for my frustration, like I said maybe i will see you at the top. but honestly making 100k after a 1 hour webinar... almost better than trading so i cant blame you, worth the money for those who can pull it of, worht the inspiration to those of us who are working towards affording a mentor like you.

    What will happen if it's low float and low volume and nobody wants to buy what you're selling? I have seen small caps with low float and low volume and it's not even moving. Sometimes the news will come in 2 weeks or more before it gets movings. How do you deal with it as a day trader?

      Float and implied volatility don't have a relationship. One is a characteristic of a stock, while the other is a characteristic of an option contract. Float helps us understand available supply, while implied volatility helps us understand the markets expectations for a stock in the future.

    So is the float the same thing as the number of outstanding shares?

    • @DaytradeWarrior
      @DaytradeWarrior  6 років тому +3

      The float is the number of shares available for trading. It is calculated by subtracting closely-held shares (shares owned by insiders,
      major shareholders, and employees) from a firm’s total outstanding shares. Float and total outstanding shares are different in that only the float is available for trading on the open market.
