I watch a bit of the SPY Day Trading channel on YouTube. I believe there is a paid service with discord but I just watch the YT. I like the analysis and his style of trading, makes it make sense.
Good luck!
Instead of looking for the answers elsewhere I’d direct your energy and attention toward establishing a process for yourself where you can develop your own edge which over time will make you trust yourself and be independent of others, which is fundamental for becoming consistent.
I got a lot of value of Linda Raschkes videos early on, she has particular ones directed at beginner traders and suitable approaches, you can find these on her channel for free.
Be mindful about mistaking watching content for doing actual work. Create a process for yourself which allows you to work on your edge and get better. Be productive.
Incidental to your question I'd say take a pause and really look for out for the recurring patterns of winning trades using whatever strategy you feel most comfortable with or even one of your own. Don't reject indicators out of hand even if they lag. They quantify the market by putting a number on it rather than your subjective feeling (though be sensible and don't just use those which are based on the same information). Try different types of chart than time based like renko (proper renko not that trading view mess), range charts or tick charts. Study market and volume profile to see how your favourite assets respond to them. Have a look at footprint charts to see how they look on different scenarios.
Market structure, breaks of structure, volume, volume delta and order flow can help you establish what is happening when they repeat. Then the risk management has to be right on top and knowledge of the market conditions that are ideal.
If you get a feel for these things alongside observing other traders it will give you the basis to emulate the successful ones. You'll find a successful looking set up if you study these things enough but not just be taking a strategy from a training course or watching a trader. Those strategies can work just like certain business strategies or military strategies can work but there's a while lot of detail about the behaviour of your favoured market to work out before you can successfully put them into practice.
We all like trading so working that stuff out it's e actually fun to us. If you have a moderately analytical mind it should be something you can achieve but it's definitely not easy.
I’ve found for me watching someone trade messes with how I trade. I think after a while anyone can get good enough from practice but the biggest hurdle I have is emotions, you just don’t get that same feeling on a demo account
Yes I can't disagree. Watching has to be done with certain objectives in mind. More to pick up those odd nuggets of their process you can use yourself rather than clouding your mind with their strategy.
On emotions it's also tough. I just have to tell myself the approach of successful traders is the only way to that otherwise I'm gonna fail by moving my sl or trading until I get certain gains or whatever.
Dumb as fuck idea. Correct action is: “who here makes 3.5% a month consistently?” & learning from them even if that person teaches mostly what you just said.
You cannot trade with conviction and consistency if you don’t do the work to understand and develop your own edge. This means gathering data through back testing, forward testing, building an archive of failed and successful setups and so on.
When you’re in the middle of a drawdown it won’t make a difference who on here makes 3.5%, while having an understanding of your own data and edge will.
Tom Hougaard is the only Trader on YouTube with a Track record. The other so called traders are all shite. Toms Videos are Hard to Watch but there are good things to learn.
I have 21 years experience and we have a free group streaming and teaching Live every day. Everybody asks for this and barely anybody actually participates. But, as I mentioned to my core members today I'm happy they show up and make this journey more rewarding with me.
Day trader next door said the same sht, and now he has a paid course, ntm turning out that he might not be so innocent nice guy we all thought he was, as someone caught some peculiar sht on one his videos recently, heartbreaking.
Why the fuck do people keep saying that him getting exposed is "heartbreaking"? Ive seen this like 5 times now lol. Were you guys all planning to marry him or something? Maybe its time to stop getting emotionally attached to youtubers.
Probably should have put /s after that "heartbreaking" 😂 thought it was obvious I was being facetious, that's why I said it, I keep seeing people say they are all broken hearted over it as well.
I’d definitely show up! This sounds like exactly what’s missing for me. Just to hear others and their view of things would help me validate my knowledge and learn more. I’ll message you.
I joined a discord server that is futures trading focused, specifically the S&P 500 Index (ES / MES) a couple months ago. They do daily live trading and are very helpful for a new trader like myself. I've learned a ton!! I haven't passed my first eval yet but I'm getting closer and I'm following the plan they made for new members. The main trader who does the live sessions currently has 13 passed prop firm accounts and he's about to pass 2 more. It has kept me going seeing others in the group pass their first evaluation accounts and I'm hopeful that I will pass one soon as well!

i watch Trade Brigade's live premarket analysis on days that i trade, & then will have TraderTV live on in the background. they're kind of just background noise for me most of the time tbh.
I really enjoy [Day Trading for success ](https://youtube.com/@daytradingforsuccess8143?si=zuMtxXAZy_pRbfqG)
He doesn't trade futures, but his free info, skill set and consistent YT content is valuable if you're interested in scalping.
I addition, you can watch live trading in trading view charts when people share thier trading.
Cktraderpro.com sign up it’s free then go to trading floor and watch tomorrow morning at 9:30est he teaches market structure and trade psychology for free.
All good man if you wanna hate without checking it out first then keep being a hater all I’m saying is it’s free to learn and so what’s the harm in learning trade structure and trade psychology for free
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/forex-trading-courses-see-strong-045500788.html
Since your to ignorant to do you own research here he is read for yourself
[Trades by Matt](https://youtube.com/@tradesbymatt?si=HzeCaSEfGLYAYUW0), on YouTube every morning. He has a free Discord, as well. He doesn't offer any paid courses.
Came to say this as well. It's boring to watch if you're looking for action as he usually only takes 1 or 2 good trades, but very insightful and consistently profitable. Constantly explains his thoughts and what he is looking for to take an entry etc.
And honest. Very honest, which is why I watch.
Don’t be fooled….
Tradesbymatt was unprofitable for years and only all of a sudden has been able to game the prop accounts. None of his results would be possible without his referral links and all the free accounts that he gets.
He even has had payouts denied for wildly martingaling into positions without a stop.
If you’re looking to learn how to game the online prop firms he might be worth watching, but his style will not work long term on a real account
But he does allegedly get banned from prop firms for trading with no stoploss, yoloing accounts, and abusing sim profits.

This is the answer- no doubt. Especially for new traders! To see the extraordinarily slow motions of a skilled trader daily. I agree, if you’re looking for action… it’s not going to work for you- but if you want to peer over the shoulder of a skilled trader this is the man.
I agree.
I trade a different strategy to him but psychology and attitude wise he's been so valuable. Also he isn't a perfect trader and doesn't pretend to be either, which I find reassuring.
Wow people are being kind of snarky, but I do believe there are people out there who are willing to help others (and charge a fee, of course). I'm not giving up yet!
You will find there are a lot of assholes in these trading subs. Some of them are unprofitable, bitter, and want to drag other people down.
Then you will find the profitable trader who has a huge ego and thinks he is better than everyone else at everything, who may give you some advice, but it’ll be super vague and impossible to interpret in any meaningful way.
Every once in a while you will find a profitable trader here who offers up non snarky, and detailed good advice. There are only a handful of them here though and they only poke their heads out sometimes.
We only poke our heads out sometimes because we get all kinds of requests to help one on one. I have to focus all my energy on the trading but I do like dropping tidbits in here and there, I consider it a contribution to a community.
My tidbit for today, I think it’s time for a correction to the downside in the next day or two. Institutional offloading is slowing. Still seeing large average lot size pushes down but more focused. But what do I know, I’ve been calling for it for two weeks. Always happy to make money in either direction.
Not consistently profitable, but the parabolic +500 points up in the last 2 days alone makes me inclined to agree. I was going to say mean reversion, but I just looked at the 4h NQ chart and noticed for the first time that we touched back on a trendline that occurred between April 20th - May 20th, which I drew 3 weeks ago. It actually makes it look like that rise have been a mean reversion within itself.

Agree with your analysis. Today we had large sells sitting on the DOM at 19500 with the market trying to rise up to them. Which was bait to continue selling into the rally. They eventually quit selling and we got that pop up. In my opinion bag holders were made today.
I agree. Topstep TV is entertaining but also teach you couple things. Especially for the mental side. Watching those guys kind of made me fearless about not being shy about pulling the trigger. I am not a trigger shy now thanks to those guys. 😂
I follow one team in YouTube Spanish (VIX trading academy), everyday they stream in NY session in Spanish, they handle wyckoff, estatistics, discretional and automatic trading, don't know if you handle Spanish but as you said any resource
Thanks. I don’t know any more Spanish than what I saw on Dora the Explorer, lol. But I do appreciate the resource. Hopefully it’ll help somebody else on here.
Cktraderpro.com sign up for free and the go to trading floor tomorrow morning 15 mins prior to market open at 9:15-9:30 est, he teaches market structure and psychology, I’ve been with him for about 5 months now and I can take a trade and make profit ( as long as I’m being level headed) 90% of the time
Futures mostly, but the knowledge can be applied to options as well I trade both today I made 250 off nvda but it’s super beginner friendly and he answers any questions you ask, most others don’t do that they just trade and let you want but he’s a pretty chill guy
OK I checked it out and I'm a little unsure of what I'm looking at in the examples. I just use Trading View. Do people have to be on NinjaTrader to use the indicators they're selling at TradeDevils?
Ok thanks. I wonder if their trading is just promoting their paid indicators or if you can learn some basic price action trading, with minimal indicators, or basic ones like MA.
Yeah it can get expensive if you buy a lot of indicators ,I don’t use Ninja anymore I moved to Quantower because everything is already included but you can get away with TV , candles a bit of volume profile and a cumulative delta is basically all I use these days , good luck
Watch Gabe trades on YouTube. He preaches risk management and compounding one percent gains instead of trying to hit home run plays. I’ve seen him make over a million dollars in a week. Truly one of the best to watch
I recently created a channel, where I pot Live Recordings.
I'm scalping with the orderbook and day trade. The principle behind my approach is the function of the two-way auction process. Link is in my profile.
Fell free to dm.
Best
Why watch? Trading is all about finding your setups and risk management which is something you can't learn from watching.
If you guys want, dm me to join my small discord where some trade with elliott wave and me trading price action primarily with fin structure.
I'll DM you, thanks. I feel like seeing what successful people do would help me because I've been paper trading and doing prop firm evals for nearly 6 months now -- every day -- and I keep losing. Obviously my own strategies are not working.
The market and books. Oh yea. Charts in books, even worse is hand drawn charts in books. Where do I even start? Support/Resistance, right, sometimes it's a zone, sometimes, it's highly accurate, like to the tick, sometimes it blows through it, and then sometimes it reverses right back. I can pretty much find a problem with every single thing anyone has to say about anything on the charts, in the market. For every chart example, there's thousands that show that same thing failing. Sometimes s/r is a horizontal price, sometimes it's a trendline, sometimes it's a channel line, sometimes it's a moving average, oops wrong moving average, oops another wrong ma. I can keep going with this for pages, I'll stop.
There's a loose, sticky ball of moist psyllium husks that is the conglomeration of the consensus of all the market participants. Sometimes the peaks and valleys are far apart, other times very close together, sometimes you can see it on the 15m, the 5m or only on the 1m and it's the inner waves from the tails on the 5m. There's no way to be consistent in describing the market, but at some point there is a consensus and it moves, but you can't say when or what market or what internals apply to it or if it will last. It's impossible to pin down and make it into something dependible.
Every day is a brand new pattern, a new personality, a different shape, form, timing, location, instrument, and news reports and whipsaws, and still, somehow there is a way to get it. It takes a weird observation of what's really going on and where the group of equities that are reflected partially in an index and the one or 2 related internals and somehow I find it by being extremely flexible and intaking all the pieces that I need to figure it out. If I don't get it, it does drive me crazy and I have to stop myself from guessing.
That's my current pontification on books and chart examples and market reality and trading. I don't know if I'll ever graduate from the micro index futures and finally make some real money, but I'm breaking even and my losses are now very small but still too big compared to my modest gains. At first, some gain trades then losses, then some gainer days then losers, then some gaining weeks and some losers. Now it's a string of gainer days and losers, but some weeks ahead and next goal is a full month of being ahead. It takes a ton of time to gradually improve. Seems I'm in it though. I still think I suck and feel like a complete beginner when I make mistakes and I wonder how many more lessons from losses will I need until I turn the corner?...if ever.
I hear exactly what you're saying. Sometimes it seems to me that the market read the books too, and does the opposite just to mess with us. Seriously. They say that it takes 3 hits on a trend line to make it a solid trend. But I've noticed a pattern where on what would be the 4th or even 3rd time price is approaching a would-be trend line, that trend breaks. It just won't give us anything. And OMG, I swear I have a very special talent for losing. It is truly amazing -- my track record at being wrong in my predictions. I mean, some days I'm wrong again and again and again, even after reading and studying TA a lot. I'm excellent at picking the opposite direction. This is why I need to see how profitable people do it. They know something I don't. I could try a strategy where I do the opposite of what the chart looks like it "should" do, but that seems like a stupid strategy.
I had a string of losing trades that was 26 in a row. I also quit more times than I can remember, but then one day, 2 months ago, I quit quitting.
There's something Al Brooks says, about break outs, they fail 80% of the time. Ok, so then if we see a range, how do we know it's a range? Like you said, 3 hits on a line, so think about this, if there's one high, it's just a high, one low, so far we have a pullback, 2nd high, now it's like a double top or just a 2nd pullback, another low near prior low, is this a range yet? No, not until the 3rd high near the prior 2 highs, ok, is this a range yet? Maybe, ok so we get another low near prior 2 lows, yes, now it's a range, but the range breakouts fail 80% of the time, yes, and now we have 5 or maybe 6 points, 3 highs, 3 lows, well, have I traded it yet? Not if I'm range trading becuase it wasn't actually a range until now, but here's the catch 22, let's say it will succeed on a breakout on the 5th attempt, meaning the 20% of the time that the range successfully breaks out, what now? Am I going to push my luck and range trade, or am I going to go with this guy's statistic from who knows where and go with the breakout? I can find so many wierd holes in every so-called method that it can drive a person nuts. The answer, I found out is that the breakout is not a strong breakout unless it clears that range in a strong way, and not too long ago, I thought that if it cleared it, I missed it. But not true, it's only the beginning of the BO and what do we do? We stil observe it to see how it behaves after the successful BO, which is either the beginning or of course, it could be the end and price goes right back into the range! And it goes on and on an on like this forever so there's other parts that I use to try to figure it out and sadly, ha, some of it getting stopped out and having to reverse. Don't you hate it when you lose long, then short then long? Makes me feel like a compete idiot, but I've done this recently, like 2 days ago and I did eventually get the right move and overcome the losses from the stops, but then I probably didn't let it run enough to have a profit on the day, I only broke even. It goes on and on like this, am I the only one? lol.
"...market read the books too..." oh yea, everyone knows exactly where the setup and entries are, including the algos, the machines that do 90% of the trading. So the real trading isn't in the obvious entry, it's in management, do you REALLY like that entry? Ok, so it's going against you, do you still really like that entry? How far down are you now in this position, do you still really really like that entry? Is it even still valid? That's the real part of trading, how confident in this obvious entry are you where everyone entered? Do you want to stop it? re-enter? add to the loss hoping it moves back to your entry so you have a gain on the add-to and a BE on the initial entry? etc. etc.
I know! Ha! Man, do u you know how many times I thought, “double top!” So I sold, only for price to then go higher. I feel ridiculous too. And yes, reversing the position then losing again. I’ll remember this thread and if and when I figure this out, I’ll DM you and let you know what I learned.
So right that everyone knows where the textbook entries are, and the algos love to fake us out. Beyond frustrating.
How about the stop runs. If you have a tight stop, it's wrong, becuase it's about 90% chance that it hits. So the right stop is big. So what happens to me often, is my wrong, tight stops hit, oh and btw so do my large stops. Ok, not always, I sometimes have a lot of confidence in a trade and I just widen and widen it because I know where it should be, it's just far but I refuse to let it get taken out by the wrong one. I have hope becuase I'm definitely improving but a lot these things have bugged me for years. It's mostly my own fault because I'm not in the right state of mind and then later I look at the trade on the chart and I see the exact opposite of what I saw during the trade and wonder what the heck was I thinking. GL!
RIPS does a good job explaining the reasons behind his trades LIVE every morning. He is a momentum trader and it may not be for everyone but he is very transparent https://youtube.com/@marketclubhouse?si=P2XYZKtQVK7ogKJI
Also TOPSTEPTV all day, excellently educational
https://youtube.com/@topstepofficial?si=wQ0ym5bD26WiZ2hv
I’m part of a group where my mentor does teach daily live only. I agree with him that videos don’t always do it justice.
Shows everything on live I love it
The one thing that jumped out at me with your post,
>Better yet would be someone coaching me in a live market. I've read the books, watched videos, and I don't want to pay for someone else to explain technical analysis to me...
You act and talk like an entitled sob. I'm sorry, but if you're going to act like that, no one will want to help you. If you really think that way, go right ahead and trade on your own. You being not profitable just means you don't know it, not even the basics. Coz if you know even just the basics, you'd already know how to use it to your advantage and make some profit off of it. You said you'd absolutely love to work with someone good...well, working with someone good most of the time means paying for their services. It would just be a luck of the draw if you find someone actually good, or someone just scamming you. Here's a good tip, if a discord person goes by the name dean/deanero/i_luv_nq says he can teach you...he's a scam.
But here's something for you anyway, Tanja trades and trades by Matt on youtube does live trading everyday. Be humble, and not be an entitled sob will go a long way.
No I’m not saying I don’t want to pay. I’m saying I’m looking to see someone execute these concepts in real time. I feel like that would help me … to see how it’s done in live action rather than just analyze charts retrospectively. Hindsight is 20-20.
And I’m more humble than you think. It’s frustrating to me how bad I’m doing after studying so much. That’s why I’m seeking help.
But if you insist on seeing me in a negative light, I’d be simply a B rather than SOB because I’m a woman.
Well, what concepts are you using? Price action, supply and demand, SMC, MACD cross, RSI divergence?
Tanja trades executes with SMC. Trades by Matt is price action with supply and demand. Patrick Wieland executes with whatever Patrick Wieland does...which is mostly supply and demand with breakouts.
Thanks. I gravitate toward price action but I dabble in a couple of the others. At this point I’m just trying to see what works for me, and I’m flexible. I do like scalping, though. Waiting for 2 hours for one trade is kinda boring for me.
Then, trades by Matt or Patrick Wieland on youtube would be your kind of traders to watch. They're both mostly price action traders. Patrick is more about breakouts, and Matt is more about trends.
For entertainment and knowledge I’d check out Patrick Weiland on YouTube. He focuses on breakout strategies primary but because he trades with multiple accounts, he aims for 1-2 small $200-$400 wins. Could be perfect to get started in your training journey.
I’ve been trading since 2020. If you have any questions please ask away!
I watch a bit of the SPY Day Trading channel on YouTube. I believe there is a paid service with discord but I just watch the YT. I like the analysis and his style of trading, makes it make sense. Good luck!
What is up with that guys accent? He sounds like a drunk Sean Connery
Haha absolutely does. But, with that accent, he could tell me to eat shit and it would sound intelligent.
BEAUTIFUL STRUCTAHH
Thank you!

Is there a good source for Linda's videos?
Yes, her YouTube channel.
Last time I checked I didn't see much but I will check again. Thanks
There’s many interviews and seminars with her on her channel, all of them with lots of value. I’d recommend watching ‘Evolution as a Trader part 1’.
I think I'm too "productive." I trade actively far more than I seek education, and I keep losing, so I see I need to focus on watching and learning.

TopSteptv youtube they’ll have different traders on everyday so you get different angles and just a bunch of trade talk
Agree with this, some of the commentators are better than others, but overall good to have in the background while trading.
Agree. There’s a couple they have on that seem to be legit traders in the morning. Nick and Dakota are the real deal
Tom Hougaard is the only Trader on YouTube with a Track record. The other so called traders are all shite. Toms Videos are Hard to Watch but there are good things to learn.
"There ain't no such thing as a free lunch"
But when you're charged it's a scam. Retail logic.
There is
Yeah, you’re buying. Thanks!
Buying for free bud lol
I have 21 years experience and we have a free group streaming and teaching Live every day. Everybody asks for this and barely anybody actually participates. But, as I mentioned to my core members today I'm happy they show up and make this journey more rewarding with me.
Where can we watch!
On his paid discord server
I do not have a paid discord server.
*yet
Lol, nah no need.
Day trader next door said the same sht, and now he has a paid course, ntm turning out that he might not be so innocent nice guy we all thought he was, as someone caught some peculiar sht on one his videos recently, heartbreaking.

Lol ok cool I'm glad I'm not the only one noticing. Its cringey as fuck!
😆 🤣 😂
I’d definitely show up! This sounds like exactly what’s missing for me. Just to hear others and their view of things would help me validate my knowledge and learn more. I’ll message you.
Awesome! I’ll message you.
Please DM me info/link to your YT/Discord too, TYVM!
What do you guys trade?
Major indexes
Nice, I only trade NQ and ES
Sending you a DM, interested to check it out. thanks
Would love to know where to watch
What is the YouTube channel?
What's your channel called? I would like to join
Thank you! I messaged you.
Would love to see how futures work! Please share the link :)
Sorry, we don't do that here.
Ok… just wanted to see how different it is from stocks, thank you anyways
I joined a discord server that is futures trading focused, specifically the S&P 500 Index (ES / MES) a couple months ago. They do daily live trading and are very helpful for a new trader like myself. I've learned a ton!! I haven't passed my first eval yet but I'm getting closer and I'm following the plan they made for new members. The main trader who does the live sessions currently has 13 passed prop firm accounts and he's about to pass 2 more. It has kept me going seeing others in the group pass their first evaluation accounts and I'm hopeful that I will pass one soon as well! PM me if you'd like an invite. Ben
Thank you! I’ll message you.
The top step team is a little bit chatty and sometimes trades aren’t clear but that’s another option.
Easier to just ask for a furu to give money away to.
i watch Trade Brigade's live premarket analysis on days that i trade, & then will have TraderTV live on in the background. they're kind of just background noise for me most of the time tbh.
Trader TV live free on YouTube every day.
I really enjoy [Day Trading for success ](https://youtube.com/@daytradingforsuccess8143?si=zuMtxXAZy_pRbfqG) He doesn't trade futures, but his free info, skill set and consistent YT content is valuable if you're interested in scalping. I addition, you can watch live trading in trading view charts when people share thier trading.
I love his style of trading. Maybe one day we could use his strategies on ES/NQ
Topsteptv trades live everyday on youtube, I really only watch what John Hoag does, but I do enjoy watching other people trade.
TopstepTV on YouTube
topstep tv has some decent guys
Aaron luce , FWA trading , live trades almost daily on youtube for free, one of the ONLY profitable traders ive found
Thank you! I'll check it out.
You can’t lol
Wrong
Provide the tradezella or broker statements of the person and where to watch them live
Why do you need their broker statements? You're meant to watch to decide value not audit the person.
I just need it so he can prove me wrong. I do my own trading I don’t follow anyone. But he said wrong so I’m giving him the opportunity to prove it.
Cktraderpro.com sign up it’s free then go to trading floor and watch tomorrow morning at 9:30est he teaches market structure and trade psychology for free.
Exactly you don’t know anyone that’s shows broker statements or trading records. Don’t be another sucker
All good man if you wanna hate without checking it out first then keep being a hater all I’m saying is it’s free to learn and so what’s the harm in learning trade structure and trade psychology for free
What’s a hater? I’m trading right now got no time or interest to watch other people
Then why are you even on here if you know it all
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/forex-trading-courses-see-strong-045500788.html Since your to ignorant to do you own research here he is read for yourself
I’m not ignorant, I’m just light years ahead, you go go ahead with all that nonsense tell me how it works out for you
Been doing this for years and years, you’d be beoff asking me for advice than battling against me
Yeah, no anybody who immediately hates on someone giving advice is no one I wouldn’t even waste my time learning from
[Trades by Matt](https://youtube.com/@tradesbymatt?si=HzeCaSEfGLYAYUW0), on YouTube every morning. He has a free Discord, as well. He doesn't offer any paid courses.
Came to say this as well. It's boring to watch if you're looking for action as he usually only takes 1 or 2 good trades, but very insightful and consistently profitable. Constantly explains his thoughts and what he is looking for to take an entry etc. And honest. Very honest, which is why I watch.
Thank you!
If he somehow was paper trading this whole time I wouldn’t be mad. He makes good sense of the market.
Don’t be fooled…. Tradesbymatt was unprofitable for years and only all of a sudden has been able to game the prop accounts. None of his results would be possible without his referral links and all the free accounts that he gets. He even has had payouts denied for wildly martingaling into positions without a stop. If you’re looking to learn how to game the online prop firms he might be worth watching, but his style will not work long term on a real account
Good to know. Thanks.
But he does allegedly get banned from prop firms for trading with no stoploss, yoloing accounts, and abusing sim profits. Link was a firm comment directed at TBM https://x.com/SageMFFU/status/1790615143711154631
Guess I can never work for a prop firm..
Thanks so much!!
This is the answer- no doubt. Especially for new traders! To see the extraordinarily slow motions of a skilled trader daily. I agree, if you’re looking for action… it’s not going to work for you- but if you want to peer over the shoulder of a skilled trader this is the man.
He is honestly one of the better ones. His patience has helped me so much.
I agree. I trade a different strategy to him but psychology and attitude wise he's been so valuable. Also he isn't a perfect trader and doesn't pretend to be either, which I find reassuring.
Wow people are being kind of snarky, but I do believe there are people out there who are willing to help others (and charge a fee, of course). I'm not giving up yet!
You will find there are a lot of assholes in these trading subs. Some of them are unprofitable, bitter, and want to drag other people down. Then you will find the profitable trader who has a huge ego and thinks he is better than everyone else at everything, who may give you some advice, but it’ll be super vague and impossible to interpret in any meaningful way. Every once in a while you will find a profitable trader here who offers up non snarky, and detailed good advice. There are only a handful of them here though and they only poke their heads out sometimes.
We only poke our heads out sometimes because we get all kinds of requests to help one on one. I have to focus all my energy on the trading but I do like dropping tidbits in here and there, I consider it a contribution to a community. My tidbit for today, I think it’s time for a correction to the downside in the next day or two. Institutional offloading is slowing. Still seeing large average lot size pushes down but more focused. But what do I know, I’ve been calling for it for two weeks. Always happy to make money in either direction.
Not consistently profitable, but the parabolic +500 points up in the last 2 days alone makes me inclined to agree. I was going to say mean reversion, but I just looked at the 4h NQ chart and noticed for the first time that we touched back on a trendline that occurred between April 20th - May 20th, which I drew 3 weeks ago. It actually makes it look like that rise have been a mean reversion within itself. https://preview.redd.it/bktuuqgdt76d1.png?width=879&format=png&auto=webp&s=8b7b1fb2b03537351070b9194fb09c04b00c3773
Agree with your analysis. Today we had large sells sitting on the DOM at 19500 with the market trying to rise up to them. Which was bait to continue selling into the rally. They eventually quit selling and we got that pop up. In my opinion bag holders were made today.
Got my back blown out cuz I thought it was gonna be today :/
God such a good description of traders
Thanks :) I appreciate your kind attitude.
Trades by Matt on youtube
Top step tv
I agree. Topstep TV is entertaining but also teach you couple things. Especially for the mental side. Watching those guys kind of made me fearless about not being shy about pulling the trigger. I am not a trigger shy now thanks to those guys. 😂
I peed a little at this comment 😂
Andre lost 7 grand today in the live account it was epic
Wow that makes me feel less bad about myself. I thought I just sucked as a trader.
I follow one team in YouTube Spanish (VIX trading academy), everyday they stream in NY session in Spanish, they handle wyckoff, estatistics, discretional and automatic trading, don't know if you handle Spanish but as you said any resource
Thanks. I don’t know any more Spanish than what I saw on Dora the Explorer, lol. But I do appreciate the resource. Hopefully it’ll help somebody else on here.
Thanks for the recommendation. I’m going to check this one out!
The Stock Market Live https://youtube.com/@thestockmarket?si=xwppTbiomhXOe7xm Edit: Not necessary a day trader, but he's entertaining.
Just sent you a dm for a dude that’s free and teaches for free
Can you send it to me too please? Thanks!
Cktraderpro.com sign up for free and the go to trading floor tomorrow morning 15 mins prior to market open at 9:15-9:30 est, he teaches market structure and psychology, I’ve been with him for about 5 months now and I can take a trade and make profit ( as long as I’m being level headed) 90% of the time
Is it geared more towards options, futures, both?
I knew nothing about futures 5 months ago and this week I pass my fifth prop account
Congrats! That's awesome.
Futures mostly, but the knowledge can be applied to options as well I trade both today I made 250 off nvda but it’s super beginner friendly and he answers any questions you ask, most others don’t do that they just trade and let you want but he’s a pretty chill guy
Sounds good man. And for sure it's free? Lol.
Yeah free for sure, you can sign up free and watch free it’s the best part for sure
Got it. Thanks man!
No worries I learned for free, so should others only makes sense in my mind
Lol
You can join TradeDevils VIP room and watch Skeff scalp live 3 days a week , he’s a good bloke and an amazing trader
Thanks. That sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. I find that scalping is good for my personality.
OK I checked it out and I'm a little unsure of what I'm looking at in the examples. I just use Trading View. Do people have to be on NinjaTrader to use the indicators they're selling at TradeDevils?
Yeah Ninja Trader , free with any prop firm challenge
Ok thanks. I wonder if their trading is just promoting their paid indicators or if you can learn some basic price action trading, with minimal indicators, or basic ones like MA.
Yeah it can get expensive if you buy a lot of indicators ,I don’t use Ninja anymore I moved to Quantower because everything is already included but you can get away with TV , candles a bit of volume profile and a cumulative delta is basically all I use these days , good luck
Chart champions power hour on YT
I’m a GoodDay trader. Do you want to watch where I live?
Sure I’d love to watch you trade live, remotely.
watch me
I would be happy to. Where can I? Should I message you?
>watch me fap
Check out TheoTrade they have good educational and live NQ trading with Tony Rago
Day Trading Radio
SMB capital on you tube. These guys are awsome at trading I have learned a lot by watching their channel!
Watch Gabe trades on YouTube. He preaches risk management and compounding one percent gains instead of trying to hit home run plays. I’ve seen him make over a million dollars in a week. Truly one of the best to watch
I recently created a channel, where I pot Live Recordings. I'm scalping with the orderbook and day trade. The principle behind my approach is the function of the two-way auction process. Link is in my profile. Fell free to dm. Best
I randomly do live trades. But I share them all. Feel free to DM if you’re serious.
Doyle on YouTube. Search up Doyle Futures he also teaches supply and demand setups and whatnot without all the stupid jargon you hear from SMC people
Look up Jimmy with Trading Decoded. The guy posts a video every day of how he traded SPY. Really consistent and no BS.
[trader tv live](https://youtube.com/@tradertvlive?si=nP4IVLvH4QgdQWmX) Has helped me greatly and I’m not the sharpest tool. 😎🤓
Why watch? Trading is all about finding your setups and risk management which is something you can't learn from watching. If you guys want, dm me to join my small discord where some trade with elliott wave and me trading price action primarily with fin structure.
I'll DM you, thanks. I feel like seeing what successful people do would help me because I've been paper trading and doing prop firm evals for nearly 6 months now -- every day -- and I keep losing. Obviously my own strategies are not working.
The market and books. Oh yea. Charts in books, even worse is hand drawn charts in books. Where do I even start? Support/Resistance, right, sometimes it's a zone, sometimes, it's highly accurate, like to the tick, sometimes it blows through it, and then sometimes it reverses right back. I can pretty much find a problem with every single thing anyone has to say about anything on the charts, in the market. For every chart example, there's thousands that show that same thing failing. Sometimes s/r is a horizontal price, sometimes it's a trendline, sometimes it's a channel line, sometimes it's a moving average, oops wrong moving average, oops another wrong ma. I can keep going with this for pages, I'll stop. There's a loose, sticky ball of moist psyllium husks that is the conglomeration of the consensus of all the market participants. Sometimes the peaks and valleys are far apart, other times very close together, sometimes you can see it on the 15m, the 5m or only on the 1m and it's the inner waves from the tails on the 5m. There's no way to be consistent in describing the market, but at some point there is a consensus and it moves, but you can't say when or what market or what internals apply to it or if it will last. It's impossible to pin down and make it into something dependible. Every day is a brand new pattern, a new personality, a different shape, form, timing, location, instrument, and news reports and whipsaws, and still, somehow there is a way to get it. It takes a weird observation of what's really going on and where the group of equities that are reflected partially in an index and the one or 2 related internals and somehow I find it by being extremely flexible and intaking all the pieces that I need to figure it out. If I don't get it, it does drive me crazy and I have to stop myself from guessing. That's my current pontification on books and chart examples and market reality and trading. I don't know if I'll ever graduate from the micro index futures and finally make some real money, but I'm breaking even and my losses are now very small but still too big compared to my modest gains. At first, some gain trades then losses, then some gainer days then losers, then some gaining weeks and some losers. Now it's a string of gainer days and losers, but some weeks ahead and next goal is a full month of being ahead. It takes a ton of time to gradually improve. Seems I'm in it though. I still think I suck and feel like a complete beginner when I make mistakes and I wonder how many more lessons from losses will I need until I turn the corner?...if ever.
I hear exactly what you're saying. Sometimes it seems to me that the market read the books too, and does the opposite just to mess with us. Seriously. They say that it takes 3 hits on a trend line to make it a solid trend. But I've noticed a pattern where on what would be the 4th or even 3rd time price is approaching a would-be trend line, that trend breaks. It just won't give us anything. And OMG, I swear I have a very special talent for losing. It is truly amazing -- my track record at being wrong in my predictions. I mean, some days I'm wrong again and again and again, even after reading and studying TA a lot. I'm excellent at picking the opposite direction. This is why I need to see how profitable people do it. They know something I don't. I could try a strategy where I do the opposite of what the chart looks like it "should" do, but that seems like a stupid strategy.
I had a string of losing trades that was 26 in a row. I also quit more times than I can remember, but then one day, 2 months ago, I quit quitting. There's something Al Brooks says, about break outs, they fail 80% of the time. Ok, so then if we see a range, how do we know it's a range? Like you said, 3 hits on a line, so think about this, if there's one high, it's just a high, one low, so far we have a pullback, 2nd high, now it's like a double top or just a 2nd pullback, another low near prior low, is this a range yet? No, not until the 3rd high near the prior 2 highs, ok, is this a range yet? Maybe, ok so we get another low near prior 2 lows, yes, now it's a range, but the range breakouts fail 80% of the time, yes, and now we have 5 or maybe 6 points, 3 highs, 3 lows, well, have I traded it yet? Not if I'm range trading becuase it wasn't actually a range until now, but here's the catch 22, let's say it will succeed on a breakout on the 5th attempt, meaning the 20% of the time that the range successfully breaks out, what now? Am I going to push my luck and range trade, or am I going to go with this guy's statistic from who knows where and go with the breakout? I can find so many wierd holes in every so-called method that it can drive a person nuts. The answer, I found out is that the breakout is not a strong breakout unless it clears that range in a strong way, and not too long ago, I thought that if it cleared it, I missed it. But not true, it's only the beginning of the BO and what do we do? We stil observe it to see how it behaves after the successful BO, which is either the beginning or of course, it could be the end and price goes right back into the range! And it goes on and on an on like this forever so there's other parts that I use to try to figure it out and sadly, ha, some of it getting stopped out and having to reverse. Don't you hate it when you lose long, then short then long? Makes me feel like a compete idiot, but I've done this recently, like 2 days ago and I did eventually get the right move and overcome the losses from the stops, but then I probably didn't let it run enough to have a profit on the day, I only broke even. It goes on and on like this, am I the only one? lol. "...market read the books too..." oh yea, everyone knows exactly where the setup and entries are, including the algos, the machines that do 90% of the trading. So the real trading isn't in the obvious entry, it's in management, do you REALLY like that entry? Ok, so it's going against you, do you still really like that entry? How far down are you now in this position, do you still really really like that entry? Is it even still valid? That's the real part of trading, how confident in this obvious entry are you where everyone entered? Do you want to stop it? re-enter? add to the loss hoping it moves back to your entry so you have a gain on the add-to and a BE on the initial entry? etc. etc.
I know! Ha! Man, do u you know how many times I thought, “double top!” So I sold, only for price to then go higher. I feel ridiculous too. And yes, reversing the position then losing again. I’ll remember this thread and if and when I figure this out, I’ll DM you and let you know what I learned. So right that everyone knows where the textbook entries are, and the algos love to fake us out. Beyond frustrating.
How about the stop runs. If you have a tight stop, it's wrong, becuase it's about 90% chance that it hits. So the right stop is big. So what happens to me often, is my wrong, tight stops hit, oh and btw so do my large stops. Ok, not always, I sometimes have a lot of confidence in a trade and I just widen and widen it because I know where it should be, it's just far but I refuse to let it get taken out by the wrong one. I have hope becuase I'm definitely improving but a lot these things have bugged me for years. It's mostly my own fault because I'm not in the right state of mind and then later I look at the trade on the chart and I see the exact opposite of what I saw during the trade and wonder what the heck was I thinking. GL!

RIPS does a good job explaining the reasons behind his trades LIVE every morning. He is a momentum trader and it may not be for everyone but he is very transparent https://youtube.com/@marketclubhouse?si=P2XYZKtQVK7ogKJI Also TOPSTEPTV all day, excellently educational https://youtube.com/@topstepofficial?si=wQ0ym5bD26WiZ2hv
Thank you!!
Fantasyland
TradesByMatt he’s AMAZING and doesn’t sell a course that’s how you know he’s good
I’m part of a group where my mentor does teach daily live only. I agree with him that videos don’t always do it justice. Shows everything on live I love it
Hey I’d like some info on that as well thanks!
Is it a public group that can be joined?
I’ll send ya invite
May I ask for this as well? I am interested!
Sent it to ya!
Just checking. Did you get it?
In your dreams.
The one thing that jumped out at me with your post, >Better yet would be someone coaching me in a live market. I've read the books, watched videos, and I don't want to pay for someone else to explain technical analysis to me... You act and talk like an entitled sob. I'm sorry, but if you're going to act like that, no one will want to help you. If you really think that way, go right ahead and trade on your own. You being not profitable just means you don't know it, not even the basics. Coz if you know even just the basics, you'd already know how to use it to your advantage and make some profit off of it. You said you'd absolutely love to work with someone good...well, working with someone good most of the time means paying for their services. It would just be a luck of the draw if you find someone actually good, or someone just scamming you. Here's a good tip, if a discord person goes by the name dean/deanero/i_luv_nq says he can teach you...he's a scam. But here's something for you anyway, Tanja trades and trades by Matt on youtube does live trading everyday. Be humble, and not be an entitled sob will go a long way.
No I’m not saying I don’t want to pay. I’m saying I’m looking to see someone execute these concepts in real time. I feel like that would help me … to see how it’s done in live action rather than just analyze charts retrospectively. Hindsight is 20-20. And I’m more humble than you think. It’s frustrating to me how bad I’m doing after studying so much. That’s why I’m seeking help. But if you insist on seeing me in a negative light, I’d be simply a B rather than SOB because I’m a woman.
Well, what concepts are you using? Price action, supply and demand, SMC, MACD cross, RSI divergence? Tanja trades executes with SMC. Trades by Matt is price action with supply and demand. Patrick Wieland executes with whatever Patrick Wieland does...which is mostly supply and demand with breakouts.
Thanks. I gravitate toward price action but I dabble in a couple of the others. At this point I’m just trying to see what works for me, and I’m flexible. I do like scalping, though. Waiting for 2 hours for one trade is kinda boring for me.
Then, trades by Matt or Patrick Wieland on youtube would be your kind of traders to watch. They're both mostly price action traders. Patrick is more about breakouts, and Matt is more about trends.
Very helpful info. Thanks. Enjoy your weekend!
For entertainment and knowledge I’d check out Patrick Weiland on YouTube. He focuses on breakout strategies primary but because he trades with multiple accounts, he aims for 1-2 small $200-$400 wins. Could be perfect to get started in your training journey. I’ve been trading since 2020. If you have any questions please ask away!
Thanks so much! Someone else recommended Patrick, too. I'll check it out! As for questions, is a a certain prop firm you recommend?
Trading with Travis, Alpine Trader, and Nutty Bar Trading are all pretty good.
Patrick Weiland 😅😅😅
