What is a "Gap Fill"? (Stock Market For Beginners)

Are you a beginner in the stock market and and confused by the term "gap fill"? When I was a beginner to the stock market and just getting started I remembered many terms out there that I truly had no idea what they meant. That's okay! As a new trader and investor it's perfectly normal for you to not understand some of the trading and investing terminology that exists. The good news is that when it comes to "gap fills", the answer is very straight forward. The first step I will show you is what a "gap" is when it occurs with a stock, and then from that point it becomes very easy to learn about what a "gap fill" actually is. If you are someone who is a beginner to the stock market and wants a quick explanation of some common investment terminology, then look no further. Let's get to it!

Stock Market 101: How to Make Money as a Trading Group

I want to cover an often times overlooked, but extremely important, stock market 101 topic that will have a huge impact on your overall success (or lack of). As a beginner day trader or swing trader who is just getting started in the stock market, I'm sure you've noticed that everywhere you look, people are offering trading groups, services, communities, etc. I would argue that being a member of a trading group is a great way to make money as it allows you an efficient way of scanning the markets. With that being said, there are also some big warnings that you need to keep an eye out for when searching out a trading group to join. The good news is, when you know what to look for and why it's important, it's extremely easy to do. If you are someone who enjoys talking "real world examples", then this video will be for you. I will not be "talking in theory" the whole time, I'll be using some stocks from my trading group that illustrate exactly what you should be paying attention to. You'll also get to see a behind the scenes look into my trading groups and how it works.

The Million Dollar Swing Trade! Congrats to this Student!

If you're wanting some inspiration and motivation into just how powerful the stock market can be, look no further! A long time student of mine has set a new single trade record: 1 million dollars! I wanted to give "MR" a shoutout and congratulate this student for his gain! Full disclosure on my part, this is not a trade that happened in a super small amount of time. This was a long term swing trade that is actually still in motion. The swing trade results do a great job of how important it is to develop a trade plan and thesis you believe in. When you accomplish both of these tasks, you can set  yourself up to hold strong when you need to through an overall swing trade. Even if you are mainly a day trader, like myself, I think you'll find great motivation in this result as it reveals all the opportunity that those who treat the stock market seriously have access to! Let's get to it!

Avoid This Kind of Day Trading Stock Strategy! (it's hopeless...)

Day trading stock strategy success is going to depend on the type of situation  you create for yourself. If you are placing yourself in a hopeless set of circumstances, then you will never get better and certainly never have the ability to make consistent money online over the long haul. Being a day trader of stocks is not easy. It is a challenge and requires hard work and discipline. Even more important, it requires the proper mindset that will open up the opportunities for you to get better. As a beginner day trader, if you focus your mindset on dynamics that close down the opportunity to get better, you will never accomplish the ultimate goal of any day trader: make consistent money. Let me show you an example of a new trader who has allowed their mind to drift into silly areas of the market that will never produce any successful trading results.

TSLA and NIO are Bad! Is Your Trading Strategy Safe?

Is your trading strategy safe? While these videos are not popular among beginner day traders who are just starting in the stock market, they're the cold hard truth. Stocks like TSLA and NIO are extremely bad for people who want to learn how to day trade stocks and make consistent money. I'm well aware that TSLA and NIO are currently making beginner day traders lots of money, so this video may come across as being a hater or jealous, but all I ask is you hear me out. I've been coaching and guiding traders since 2013 and this is a cycle that I've seen come up numerous times. I want you to be a successful trader with a valid trading strategy; however, the first step is ensuring that the current strategy you are using is safe. The crazy part about the stock market and trading is that just because a strategy is currently making you money does not mean it's a legitimate strategy that will work over the long haul. Let me show you what I mean.

Step 1 For Beginner Day Traders (if you want to succeed...)

If you are a beginner day trader, there is one step that I believe you need to first take before doing anything else if you want to succeed and make consistent money. The good news is this, step 1 that you need to do is extremely easy. It's quite literally just a few clicks of your mouse, but these "clicks" will be setting you up for success rather than feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. I've been working with day traders since 2013 and this is one of the most common mistakes I see struggling beginner traders make. I commend them as the mistake they're making comes from a place of ambition and striving for excellence; however, that's why the markets can be so difficult at times. The market loves to take ambitious people and use their ambition against them. If you follow this step that I show you in this video you will be directing your ambition and hard work in a positive and beneficial direction! And that's the goal! As beginner day traders we need to work hard, yes, but even more importantly, you need to work smarter!

My First Week Back After The Disaster... (Day Trading Results)

Day traders sometimes have disasters in their trading results, and I recently had a really bad one that felt like a mental sledgehammer. I will say though, the support from the YouTube community has been insanely overwhelmingly encouraging and positive. Because of this, I feel almost required to share with you all my first week back after the disaster so you can see how I managed (and if I made money). I will say this though, there were some fantastic learning lessons that occurred during my first week back day trading the stock market, so I certainly want to share the lessons with you. At the end of the day, we are all human beings who are prone to make mistakes, and I'm not different. I want to take a little bit of time to show you my day trading results and use them to illustrate a few key reminders that we all need, whether you are a beginner day trader just getting started or a veteran trader. Let's get to it and do some learning together to help improve ourselves in this crazy hard business known as day trading!

The Results of Day Trader Resilience... Follow Your Strategy!

If you want to go have good results as a day trader in the stock market, or any financial market for that matter, you need to develop resilience. As much as I wish I could say that every day in the world of being a trader will be carefree and easy, that would be a bold faced lie. At times, day trading can become extremely frustrating and irritating. You will be pushed to your emotional limits in terms of needing to be strong and not break the rules of your day trading strategy. With that being said, if you have the right trading methods and steps in place, when those tough times hit you, it is possible to hold strong and be resilient! The best thing you can do is to follow your strategy and allow it to carry you to where you need and want to go. Let me show you what I mean by setting up a bit of context and then allowing you to see how things played out.

ClayTrader Service Review: What Do I Sell?

I want to do a service review of what I offer at ClayTrader. Many beginner day traders and those getting started in the world of trading often ask (and it's a wise question!) about what exactly I sell. I totally understand. For people understanding the benefits of making an investment into themselves, it can be very overwhelming with all the choices out there. So many products, services, tools, subscriptions, etc. that are competing for your attention. It's easy to lose track of what is actually being offered and how it will benefit you in your journey to becoming a successful trader and making consistent money online. My goal with this video is to be as blunt as possible about what I'm actually selling, that way you can have as much clarity as possible in regards to whether or not you feel it can benefit you and help you learn how to trade. Let's get to it!

Day Trading Tips | Is Winning All That Matters?

If you want to make money day trading stocks, the best tip anyone can give you is "to win". There is no doubt about it that when it comes to having success as a day trader, you need to be really good at "winning".. With that being said, is winning all the matters when it comes to making consistent money online? Are there other areas of the market you need to learn about in order to give yourself a true chance at trading success? Or... is it literally all about winning? Is that the only thing that matters? Whether you are trading stocks, crypto, futures, forex or options, you need to understand that there is much more to trading success than only winning. I realize that "talking winning" is extremely fun and easy to do, but when it comes down to learning about how to trade online with the right methods and strategies, "winning" can be a bit misleading. Let me show you what I mean!
