A Trading Strategy for All?

I got a comment on YouTube from someone who seems to be under the impression that there is a "right" and "wrong" way to trade from strategy implementation perspective. Is this actually true?

How To Deconstruct An Argument

Different opinions are the way of the world, so no harm in those... sometimes though, a faulty argument is able to "pass" because people get stuck in the weeds in regard to addressing what "actually" matters. I want to walk you through an example of how when you focus on the right parts of the argument, you can break things down in a logical way.

Trading And Hindsight Bias

One of the very tricky areas of the market and learning how to trade is "practice". What do I mean? Given the way are brains work as human beings, when you put yourself in certain situations it will lead to false confidence. It will cause you to believe you are a better trader than what you are. In order to best understand the markets and ensure you give yourself true clarity and confidence, you must be fully aware of what hindsight bias is and how it works.

No Risk But A Reward? Disaster….

This is one of those videos that I had zero plans of making…

Until a member of the community mentioned something in our chatroom that literally had me read the comment multiple times to ensure I was understanding it properly…

I’ll be the first to admit that from a marketing standpoint, it’s brilliant and props to the broker who is doing it.

BUT…. from the viewpoint we should all care about, as traders, it has disaster written all over it.

Sure…. on the surface it looks like a great deal and a low risk way to practice the markets, but looks can be deceiving.

Putting yourself into situations like THIS must be avoided at all costs.

Unfortunately, as nice as they sound, they are completely counterproductive in accomplishing our true goals as traders: being consistent.

The Tools You Need To Trade

If you want to start trading (wisely that is), you will need certain tools that allow you to get involved in the markets.

Seriously. Slow Down!

I'm truly not trying to be a jerk, but I mean come on.... if you are this careless at the start of your trading journey, then there are so many other areas that have a very credible threat of derailing you before you can ever truly get started.

The "Expected Return" of An Investment

Do I 'Actually' Trade?

Do I trade? Or to be more precise: is my trading real? Every now and then I have people accuse or imply that my trading is fake and being done in a simulator. In all actuality, that's okay that is wise you may think that about me (or someone else). I want to show you a quick trick of how you can determine if someone is "actually" trading or if it is a fake account.
