I look forward to asking you on Monday if you have a bias
each half hours opening price should be marked with a ray line if u wana see something invisible that we were never ment to see do it on a one min chart the open of the hour or half hour....do it every hour and leave it on chart till end of day watch what price does its shocking...the key
as price crosses a time ray im in...stop on the other side of my entry
Would you ever do a tutorial on how you trade? I feel like that would be very beneficial for many new traders out there.
The best and most genuine advice i have seen in years this is basically all you need in trading
5:45 Not adding on trades to compensate for a loser is KEY. I blew my funded account this way. I was green 5 days in a row, and then 1 bad trade which could have only been -$500 turned into -$3500 when I tacked on 2 more trades and the market continued against me. Just accept the smaller loss and move on.
So true. When I first started out in trading I did exactly this and also blew my account. While the correct thing to do was to cut the loss in half for the next trade until I make it back or at least not increase the size
Love how Daniel stays honest through his entire journey and keeps it real with us, this video really had good advice
Very interesting! You have a great view on trading much as Jim Simons did in 1978!
I am 84 years old and trade less frequently at this point. Each day I go to a shop where I am able to interact with young people and work with my hands and use another part of what is left of my brain.
Do homework, analyse direction of a trade and set a target and get away from the monitors to avoid over thinking and constant adjusting.
Excellent teaching! Many thanks
The not marrying your bias is such an understated point in the trading community. "BUT MY LOWER HIGh STeGOsAURUS PATTERN IS A BEAR INDICATOR" and then the market rips your face off.
I watched you stay unprofitable in your previous funded account endeavors and such. super impressed you stuck it out and found your stride. wishing you the best.
Amazing video Dan one of your best for sure. I enjoy your livestreams most mornings and videos like this help alot!
Brilliant video with excellent advice. The part about sitting in drawdown and getting out at break even only for the trade to go your way you mentioned on steam a while ago, ever since I've kept it in my mind and it's really helped me! Keep grinding Daniel. Have a great weekend.
Bromigo, the first tip you gave finally clicked with me at 2 in the morning as I woke up randomly thinking about how many times I got stopped out last week…. Just felt like I wasn’t comfortable with my position size and my risk. I was always a few ticks short. Moved to micros today and felt so free lol 😂 great stuff man.
Great video!! Definitely worth a watch at the start of each trading day. I think I will be making this a part of my morning prep before even looking at the charts. Thank you!
Perfect timing for this video. I was bullish in the last 3 weeks. You can imagine how that went with my option swings.
Great tips!
Been following you for quite some time now and it’s been a funny ride… After you nearly had been disappeared, now that you have returned with more vids again and constant livestreams this channel has turned into a full fledged futures trading outlet.
Don’t get me wrong, this is actually great! I took the same ride into this giant rabbit hole. And if you love it, you love it. Everything else just… disappears. That’s trading. 😅
Brilliant video Daniel! Exactly what I needed! Thanks
This is great advice. Love to see you profitable.
So awesome you gave Dylan a shoutout. He's such a great trader and deserves more recognition.
Agreed! Dylan is soooo damn good at what he does and doesn't get the credit he deserves. Dude doesn't even seek it, which makes me admire him even more.
What's his channel?
So happy to be here for your journey buddy. Keep up the good work. But the best part of this video is really your ability to look critically at your performance without damaging your moral. That’s the sign of strong trader
thanks mal, always nice to see you around.
Really great video, I will try to apply these points to my own trading! Thanks Daniel
This is good advice! I have gotten proficient at cutting my losses and you need to definitely realize that there is a difference between cutting your loss to end the discomfort, and cutting due to price action giving clear signs that your SL is about to get blown up. Of course you will cut winners, just need to keep practicing! For me holding my WINNERS is the hardest part, especially trading on apex due to their trailing DD rule, and their %30 rule.
Been trading about 4 years myself now and I'm not too far behind you, still working it. I passed my first combine, was on track for my first payout, and got greedy two days in a row and lost it. I force myself to use the practice trading feature rather than paying for another combine so that I can feel a little pain to help remind in the future. Following your journey and TBM has been huge in keeping me focused and in the game.
don’t marry your bias! marry your best friend!
If only she had your wisdom....
Way to Go Daniel. Great Advice no matter your level of trading.
Good video, I am am a little behind you. I am in 3rd year and getting close to consistent profitably, but still self sabotaging to much. Sizing down has helped me stay in trades longer. Still struggle with impatience. Especially when trying to pass challenges. Enjoy your videos.
The reason I love your content so much is because I see so much of my own trading journey in yours. You eventually found your passion in the day trader world and I’ve seen you grow through your videos! Love the content and let’s keep growing 💪🏽
Great video. Very much on point. 👍
you're an inspiration, ever since the tbm vid! grats!
Great job Daniel, I remember the video with Matt where ya'll traded.
Thumbs up!
This is gold, Thanks Daniel!
This video hit home. Def needed to hear this today. Thanks Daniel.
Great vid Dan, thank you!
Great advice! Love to see it
thanks, carm!
Excellent video my dude !!
thank you Daniel this is great advice that I will put into practice .....
i love how cool, calm and collect you are.......see you Monday have a great weekend.....Ventura, ca.
Great to see you have improved so much, i also started trading back when i was watching your rookie VS pro video, good thing is we all starting to make profits!GJ!
“The market is ripping without me right now”, I felt that haha. Great video with really good points!!
04.38 incredible lesson!!! i was going through that! this are really clarificant. Thank you bro! 1st video i see, new sub. Greetings from Argentina
ive watched your video 2 years ago when you were still unprofitable, and i was learning yo trade forex that time, now its remarkable to see that youre killing it, keep up the good work!
Well done proud and cool seeing your journey
Good reminders, thanks. I needed that after this week..
Awesome video. Been following since your first day trading video years ago.
Great information in this video.
This video was exactly what i needed rn, thank you!
Thanks for making this this video Daniel! Can't hear this enough.
all really good stuff. ive been trading for 3 years, started with options and switched over to futures prop accounts 6 months ago and this month made enough to take out 2 withdrawls and finally become profitable for the first time ever. I remember seeing your early videos and the difference between then and now is huge.
congrats 🙌
This is the most helpful trading video I’ve seen. Thank you!
Some gems in here. I find me catching myself in these often.
I've thoroughly enjoyed your well documented journey. I made the change recently to micros over minis so that I could scale out of 10 micros instead of trying to let 1 mini ride into oblivion. Glad to see I wasn't the only one to make that change.
Just hearing you talk, I can tell you’ve been listening to Carmine. That’s great bro. I’ve been keeping an eye on your trading journey for the last 2 ish years. You’re killing it brother🤞
I agree with all these....however, one thing about micros was i was trading a bit to cavalierly as the amount of money at risk was negligible and that led me down the path of not trading the plan and just gambling. SO I learned bad habits while racking up losses and commissions. Once I went back to minis, the risk meant something and that forced me into more thoughtful trading. This was just me. I agree with your premise regarding micros but for me, it was detrimental.
Watched your journey. So proud of you
Daniel this was soo good! I discovered you through your video you made with Trades by Matt a while ago but still watch your videos. THIS is gold!! I usually trade mini's and never touch micros for exactly what you pointed out however I noticed most days trading NQ you have to risk at least 20 points with how big the range is most days or trade ES minus but the real fun is in NQ. I risk 200 per trade but NY sessions thats a hard ask for the minus. I will be sharing this with my futures friends!
Great video, really enjoyed it!
thanks, python
Great video I did that today where I got out on a normal pull back because I was scared of losing a couple dollars in profit, only for it to go exactly where my TP was - have to be comfortable with the discomfort and confident in your analysis
you also have to get comfortable with dumping trades that might turn into winners.
what you did wasn't wrong, the market could have easily swept you the other way.
@@asdfbeau well, no because when you have an edge then you need to believe your proven backtested strategy where you tested SL and TP. moving SL to BE is totally different scenario in strategy which should be tested on the same graph and time when was tested original strategy and compare results. In one strategy as I backtested that method I was less profitable when moving SL to BE as just leave SL in original position. Win rate can be better, but with every R added you are higher to survive loss in few rounds. Which can happen when we talk about win rate 50%. In 10 rows you can loose and hit SL. Moving SL to BE is different in all different stocks, as one stock can create deep pullbacks and other stock not. So also that is not uniform to any pair, stock, etc, plus different time can create different behaviour of stocks - respect SR zones, not respect SR zones....
Great video
I appreciate you talking about your mistakes rather than how many Lambos are in your garage. Lots to learn from this. Thank you.
Such solid lessons based on real life experience. Thank you Daniel :)
Very well done mate.
sick video daniel keep it up bro
Finally a real retail trader without the influencer side of it. Well done.
Very good info !
Really great advice.
Great advice!
GGs! Thank you for another great video Daniel!
What’s the indicators you use and what time frames?
I always love your vidoes.
Have started my trading journey around the same time as yours.
Love your content
Words of Wisdom!
Good Job on Beeing a Profitable Trader!
thanks rush!
Great to see you succeeding👍
I'm doing the same with micro es. Risk management is really how you become profitable. And ofcourse proper tools like market profile, vwap and orderflow(cumulative delta)
Oh shit ive been watching you for years. So badass you are finally profitable.
I would say even before trying /MES or /MNQ, trade TQQQ, SPXL, or UPRO with 50-500 shares depending on how much you got, and don’t even bother paper trading.
you are a real on, keep it up
Loving the new haircut, Dan! I don't think the last one suited as much. Any interest in doing investing/trading challenges where margin/futures (borrowing money) isn't required?
Best advices u can get as a new trader :)
Awesome ... thank you
Great advice ❤
Excellent video Daniel! I appreciate the kind words! Your ability to articulate is second to none! Many folks chase after a "holy grail" strategy that is going to produce them a high win % and exponential gains... they often overlook the points you covered in this video and ultimately find themselves failing over and over again... Thank you for making this! I'm confident it will help many aspiring traders
much appreciated, dylan!
It really has been a joy watching you grow. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, Daniel. I hope nothing but the best for you!
same to you!
Great Video😉
Top tier advice! I was wondering why my 100x leverage + no stop loss strategy wasn’t working 😬
Awesome video! I just found the best loser wins and was debating on reading it
you will love it.
If micro commissions are keeping you from profitability, you've got other problems. Fantastic tool for futures traders. Great video!
good point. thanks for watching!
I honestly gave you a hard time in the past but honestly am happy for you. You kept going at it which is a huge lesson by itself. GGs man!
thank you - i really appreciate that.
Its been really cool to see you grow as a trader man. I have been working at it myself and am realizing all of the things you mentioned in this video. Keep it up dude! You're an inspiration for the retail guys!!
thank you 🙏
Nice vids! What avg profit margin per month as profitable trader?
I am following your journey of trader few years and I am happy that you did huge progress. I can say that I am developing with you also, after 3 years I can say I am profitable, sure with mistakes and emotions. You are huge support for other traders, as you trade live and don't hesitate to show loses! God bless you Daniel!
love to hear it, thank you!
how do you know you're profitable? wheres proof of months of positive equity. these are just tips to become profitable.
Hey id just like to say I watched your video a couple years ago when you first tried day trading and sucked, and it’s cool to see where you are now, I’m making progress myself 👍✌️
Not only that but with 1 mini you can't do a proper risk management we never know when the market will flip soo having for example 5 micros let's you get out of a couple of them in an area you feel conflicted not far from your TP for example and take some there if it turns to your break even for example you will have 3 micros not 5 soo you take almos thalf of the profit and if it goes to your TP because it was not far from your tp and you ahd still 3 micros open then the profit is almost the same as if u took 5 to that tp micros are amazing for props is worth the extra comision
1:00 left before this beautiful video is unsealed
Hi how many trade do you take per month in average ?because I think I’m overtrading but don’t really realize( I overtrade but I’m profitable , but I’m obligated to look at the chart all day
Wich is not adaptated to my life )
usually 3 per day.
In tune
the biggest thing with trading is slowing down, the markets move so fast that 99% of humans just arent mentally conditioned for it, a lot of the times you need to step back, take a breather and slow things down and don't be so jumpy.
Great to see you've become profitable my man, I've been watching you over the years, keep at it, for real, your journey has just begun to a better healthier life
fridays are a neckbreaker for me, like honestly, i dont know what it is but my biggest fuckups i have on fridays.
Just began my journey on becoming a funded trader! This is exactly what I needed. Thank you Daniel, looking forward to hopping in your streams!
I hope you have few years of experience in trading own money and you are in profit. If not, please assign to you few years to be profitable in personal account with small capital and then move to funded accounts. Else you will just lose your money in greede mode and you will just feed that stupid business in funded industry. I don't say it is wrong to use funded prop firms. It is good when you know what are you doing.
I liked this!
I've watched your journey from the first challenge you did with TBM. Truly inspiriing watching you grow.
Could you share how you do your recording/scren record and live stream. I think that would be helpful. I want to learn to screen record cos I thnk it would add ane xtra layer of accountability or my growth
early cover one of my biggest flaws ... i tally missed points ..hope it will make me sick of looking at it and will start to hold my trades :D
Congrats on your recent successes! Any insights on the difference between "always trade your plan" and "don't marry your bias" as these can seem contradictory and I've heard both given out as advice from successful traders? Maybe it's just - come up with a plan, stick to your entry and exit goals, but once that specific trade is over you should be willing to adjust to price action regardless of your original thesis?
yes, i would say usually my plan would be "I want to see price react this way at this level, then i will short." i see it, i take it. marrying my bias would be "market should sell-off today. i will sell here at the highs. oops, that didn't work. let me try again. dangit. well, it's gotta go down, i'll short the next sweep higher."
I as well became finally profitable yesterday with my latest payout approved!! let' s try now to push harder
Amen
Daniel can you make a short or something about your setup on MotiveWave?
