12 tweets that will teach you more than a $4,997 trading course:
1) Relative Strength

Watch which stocks are green while the market is red

Institutions are most likely buying those up
2) Less is more

If you disagree with this, you're probably not a profitable trader

Take 1/2 the amount of trades you normally do and see what happens
3) The Market Doesn't Care About Indicators

You really think the funds putting millions of dollars into the market are "buying off a 9 ema"???

Get rid of your indicators

Just watch price and volume
4) Sell Options

Market makers, funds, banks, pretty much everyone other than retail is on the opposite side of your weekly OTM option

Collect premium and make money every week
5) Short Term vs. Long Term

It's easiest to trade opposite sides of the spectrum

If you're looking to take swing trades that take 3 weeks, don't.

Either go small time frame or invest

No Middle Term trades
6) Risk Management > Everything

It doesn't matter if your an emotionless robot with a 90% win rate.

If that one loss you take ends up greater than all the winners, you'll never be profitable
7) Don't Paper Trade

Paper trading should only be used to get comfortable with a trading platform.

Trade with real money, small size so you can feel emotions

Trading with paper will hurt you more than help you
8) Keep Your Job

I trade full-time and I love it.

I also did it after I had a year of consistency and 1.5x my salary in savings.

Don't think you can go full-time after a month of profits

Give it a year.
9) Consistency > Profits

My 5 year old nephew could walk out of the market with profits tomorrow

but he can't everyday

A losing month being consistent teaches more than randomness
10) Withdraw Your Profits

Stop trying to grow $1,000 into $1M

You can grow/compound your account and take out profits at the same time

will keep you disciplined
11) Stop Strategy Hopping

Stick with one concept your good at (support/resistance, balance theory, breakouts, etc.)

If it's not working, develop a stricter criteria/more clearly defined strategy for entries and exits
12) Intuition

Trading for over 5 years, you start to get intuition for when something will happen

It will take time, but once you fully understand how the market really works, you'll get it

Eric turned $2,000 into $100,000 in one week.

He's not a genius...

All he did was use this weird "Double up" strategy

Take 2 mins to copy it here:🧵 Image
1. How it Started

After seeing one of my videos where I grew my account 1% every day for a month, one of my students Eric decided to do the same.

If you haven’t seen that video, I’ll link it at the bottom of this thread.

But Eric did it differently…
2. Increasing Risk

Instead of risking 1%, he decided to go all in, risking 5% each trade and adding even more once his take profit was hit.

Most traders NEVER trade like this.

Here’s what’s so important about his strategy:

I've traded for over 7 years...

and proven this strategy one of the MOST effective

Take 30 seconds out of your day to learn the strategy that I use as a full-time trader:🧵
This strategy is based on taking advantage of retail traders

It's called the "STOP HUNT" trading strategy

Here's what it is👇
Let's look at $QQQ on a smaller time frame example:

First I look to identify where a recent high or low is

Here we can see a double bottom which is a great sign for a stop hunt strategy Image

99% of traders look at volume...

yet the majority of traders are using it WRONG

Here's how I used volume to make 6 figures trading:🧵 Image
We all know the classic volume tips that we were told in the penny stock era...

Wait for a run up, then look for a pullback on LOW volume to get an entry

This isn't how you should be looking at volume...
First, let's start with what do I mean by volume

Volume Profile?

# of shares?

No.

I look at the volume BARS Image

This is Steve Cohen.

He’s the owner of the New York Mets and America’s most profitable day trader with a net worth of $19.8B

He didn’t come from riches, and he definitely didn’t have anything handed to him.

Here’s his story: Image
1) Early Story

Steve grew up in a middle-class family on Long Island with 7 siblings.

He liked sports - played basketball, soccer, and golf just like everyone else did.

He developed an obsession for poker which eventually led him into trading.

Here’s how he got started:
2) Traded College Tuition Money

Steve went to Wharton at the University of Pennsylvania and studied economics.

His Father put the money for his college tuition in his checking account and Steve traded that money but ended up breaking even by the end of the school year.

Until..

I turned $2,781 into $10,000 in 30 days

Take 2 mins to learn exactly how I did it:🧵
(full strategy breakdown) Image
I first want to say that this isn't my typical strategy

I have 3 different swing/day trading strategies I use

So let's dive into how I did it👇
The plan for this account was to scalp options within minutes

I didn't want to hold onto a trade longer than 5-10 minutes

Pure scalping options

Adding market structure to your trading could literally turn you into a $10k/month trader

But learning what a real structure break is can take months...

Or you can read this in 2 mins and be an EXPERT:👇 Image
A structure break is simply when price breaks a pivot high/low

But there are a few rules that help determine if that break is a real BOS

Because the opposite of a BOS is a stop hunt
Let's first go over what a stop hunt is.

A stop hunt is when price takes out a pivot and immediately reverses.

Here's an example on $NQ Image
