Stock Day Trading Video Thread

[TradingApples]

Hey All,

Here you will find a group of videos demonstrating live trading positions. As I think you will find if you watch the vids, the common theme here is that trading is a simple task, and it is best conducted in this way. Within these videos you will see me demonstrating a number of different ways to trade including going long, going short, using support and resistance, understanding price action by crowd analysis, and using volume to determine momentum.

Since my goal is to keep these videos flowing one of the advantages to this format is that the input and suggestions of the community can be realized in future videos regarding things like, explanations, ability to see what is going on, specific topics to be discussed, and answering any questions community members have regarding my methodology or anything at all about trading stocks. This being said, I encourage all newcomers and regulars alike to raise new ideas and discuss issues that effect them as traders.

With that I look forward to sharing these vids with you and I hope you are able to benefit from them, and always remember, the number 1 rule in trading is...Anything Can Happen.

Just as a disclaimer, I understand that there are many ways to trade stocks and many of you may have found that the best way to trade for you specifically is in a manner much removed from the methods in these vids. If this is so, please do not ask me where the moving averages are and why I didn't consider this market variable or that indicator. These vids are for those who are looking for a simple and effective way to trade markets by using not much more than the governing dynamics of supply and demand along with volume. With that being said though any relevant questions or comments are always appreciated.

I, as a trader, am well versed in the interpretation and application of many popular indicators and oscillators. I have simply found a way to trade that focuses more on the fundamentals of price action and less on analysis of price action. Which saves me the headache of trying to deal with the different applications of indicators between several time frames. This combined with the fact that I have learned to consolidate the use of nearly every indicator by simply learning how to interpret the behavior of price has led me exactly to the methods I use today. Enjoy!


As a quick disclaimer, day trading is an extremely risky yet rewarding career path. If you are new to trading or have not yet even started, I strongly advise you to discuss the risks of day trading with your financial adviser. Anything posted on this page is merely the opinions of myself as well as other traders and should be treated as such.

Hey All,

The broad S&P500 Index had an encounter with it's down trend line from it's highs about a year ago back in June as well as July and recently breached this trend line and continued higher.


The technology heavy NASDAQ index, however, just touched its down trend line from it's highs back in August '08 this past week, and seems to be pulling back some off of this area.


Now the multi-million dollar question becomes: Will the NASDAQ do something similar to the S&P and briefly pullback on this encounter only to come back strong and breach it? Or will this be the end to the several month long rally we have seen in the US equities markets? What do you guys think?

Hey All,

I was looking over the SPY chart this morning and noticed that volume is still declining in this rally off of lows back in March.
Now, a few things come to mind:

1) It's summer and we have seen above average volume for a typical US summer, especially August, so this could just be a sign of less traders in the workplace.
2) This rally is running out of steam and if we see some sort of catalyst it could be time for the bears to take control once again.
3) The bears could still be exhausted as a whole and we could see the bulls continue to have control even in smaller numbers
What do you think?

Patience in Trading:

This says something. I have never known a single good trader who hadn't , at some point in their trading journey, confronted and understood patience while trading. Further, almost every single student of mine in both personal coaching and the course has an issue with patience in trading.

Dictionary.com defines patience as:

pa⋅tience  [pey-shuhns]

–noun
1. the quality of being patient, as the bearing of provocation, annoyance, misfortune, or pain, without complaint, loss of temper, irritation, or the like.
2. an ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay: to have patience with a slow learner.


Though this is a justifiable and accurate definition of patience I think taken into the context of trading the definition might be a bit different. It might look something like this.

pa⋅tience  [pey-shuhns]

1. The quality of waiting for an acceptable position to emerge before getting into a quality position.

2. An ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with boredom, a lack of action, or a need to initiate trading actions when none are warranted.

Let's talk for a moment about what is natural behavior in a situation such as sitting in front of a screen with the intent on making money. We are here to make money, here to act, here to win. Naturally these intentions spur us on to action and often lead to finding ourselves in unsatisfactory positions. [Read more]
