The past year I've jumped on trending stocks that were supposed to "go to the moon in x days". On the days I jumped on them, I made money but I held too long. Basically, swing trading. I'm in the red with those types of moves and stuck holding some of these stocks.

The past couple months I've been looking into day trading, specifically scalping. It's basically you're in and out real quick. Sometimes just minutes. I started paper trading (real stocks, real price movement, fake money) and I won 9/12 trades. Averaged $500 on my winning days and $100 on my losing days risking $2k-$5k each day. My average trade time has been about 45 minutes. I don't know if I've been lucky or what and I know it's different with real money, but I made sure to be strict and treat it like it was real money.

Scalping is clearly all about technical analysis which I def need to study more. My biggest problem has been my entries. My biggest winners have been entering during a breakout past resistance, but a lot of times, the candles go right back down.

Just wondering if anyone here has any success with this and has any tips, good videos to watch, etc. I have been following Warrior Trading and Live Traders primarily.

Understand risk to reward. Don't risk your whole account for a small trend.

Look to take high probability trades more then taking more trades.

Use higher timeframes to identify the longer term trends

First thing to master is support and resistance. Then trend lines then patterns

Patience is key when using technical analysis - wait for a confirmation of a move beforetaking a position. It's better to let a trade run first then to jump in early and get burned.

Use multiple technical analysis indicators to confirm trends.


Download books and start practicing with websites such as Tradngview.com - you gotta spend time in the markets to learn and you will loose money, but patience - Ed Ponsi has great books on Technical analysis to get your knowledge up.

Good luck with your trading journey.

i day trade or swing trade depending on what im trading but some good tips are

1. get rid of all indicators and learn how to read candlesticks
- the candlestick bible by munehisa homma is a great book to learn
- try to understand the psychology behind the candle sticks.. also, dont just pay attention to the candlesticks but where they form
- if you do use any indicator.. RSI is good for trading divergences. i personally use a 50SMA
2. learn the different market phases and how to trade them
- markup (uptrend)
- markdown (downtrend)
- accumulation (ranging after downtrend)
- distribution (ranging after markup
3. learn supply and demand and how it affects price
4. learn fibonacci and the different strengths between 0.382, 0.50, & 0.618
5. learn risk management. a lot of people stick to 1-2% of their account per trade.. also try to take trades that where your risk/reward is 1:3 minimum
6. read trading in the zone by mark douglas
7. put a trading plan together and stick to it
8. have at least 2-3 confluences before entering every trade.. the more the better
9. backtest your strategies and track your progress.. this alone will make a huge difference


thats all i can think of off the top of my head.. good luck

take profits man thats the main thing... and dont trade so many times in the day.. if you can make good money in less than 30 mins just take the profit and move on

This is somewhat controversial, but technical trading on its own is mostly bullsh*t. It's useful in combination with an understanding of the psychology of the markets and fundamentals, but it's just not enough. To the extent it is, most of that value is arbitraged away by algorithmic trading because HFT moves faster than retail investors can and also gets order flow to inform their algos.

Read The Intelligent Investor, buy with a long-term perspective, and save yourself more losses.

Paper trade for 12 months consistently... track your ytd P/L. No matter what system you use that will tell you if you should do it. Its easy to be successful for 3 months. If you can do it for 12 its not a fluke.

Great post. Saving

I started in stock, wasnt too successful. I was making money in crypto tho

Crypto learning curve is easier

Stock is way more stable but a lot to learn

The things im learning from crypto i will take to stock when i feel ready

Any book recommendations

Trading view looks like chinese right now

Get a few stocks and learn them inside and out and paper trade them once you understand them the world is yours

You can go from 0 to trader in 8 hours. Just depends where you learn.
When you get good, it gets boring

Focus on trading psychology and risk/money management.

Sticking to your stop loss is law if you are scalping. Never trade on emotions. Look at the market from a probability perspective.

Also good advice up top..

It is doable but it takes a lot of discipline and dedication.

Every time something makes an ATH you can scalp 5minOS, then 15OS, hourly OS, and then 4hrOS+ usually makes for a good swing entry.

Right now is prime scalping due to the fear and volatility in all markets.

Put your stink bids real low and if they get hit youre usually in a really good spot .

Make sure to have a plan because not being able to sell is a traders biggest problem.

This is something that I learned just recently. All of these indicator videos I've watched just slowed me down. Watching the candles and price action helped a lot more. The onl indicators I have loaded right now are VWAP, 20EMA, and MACD but I don't look at them too much.

The thing I find hard are dip trades. Before I started paper trading, I'd just watch live candles and see a dip and say "ok i would jump in here", and then it dips more.

For breakouts past resistance, you want to make sure that it retests back of the resistance. A lot of fake breaks be wrecking a lot of beginner traders.

I day trade. I basically hedge my trades like the banks because I have no idea where it’s going.

great thread

I've been paper trading on Tradingview for a month and have been having decent success with a few methods. I'm low key obsessed with it and have tested a few strategies with MAJOR success with one in particular.


Good look for the book suggestions on this first page as well.

When to enter trades

1. Market structure
- Uptrend, down trend, range

2. Area of value
- Where might buying/selling pressure step in
- Support and resistance, moving average, trend lines etc

3. Entry trigger

- What will get you in a trade
- Price rejection, break of structure, trend line break, etc

4. Exit if you’re wrong

- Where is your stop/loss
- At s level where your setup gets invalidated

5. Exit if you are right

- Capture swing or trend
- Fixed target profit (swing high and low, S&R)
- Trailing stop loss/ stop loss is your friend and part of the trade use it! (MA, price structure)

Use VWAP moving avg. Macd for indicators. If trend breaks Vwap (goes below) exit trade. I also use EMA clouds. Study candle stick patterns

Great books:

How to day trade for a living - by Andrew Aziz
Charting and technical analysis - by Fred McAllen (this is your trading bible)
Trading in the Zone - by Mark Douglas

I like the second one especially - very detailed and covers a lot of aspects of trading. Only area is a bit weak is psychology - but trader psychology is a whole area of trading that you need to study seriously and develop through spending time in the markets. These are available online as ebooks to download for free as well if you do your googles.

You must master your emotions - this is very difficult to do when you are new especially when you are a new trader who starts making some money quickly. Your ego will get in front of you and you will a*sume you know better then the market. But the market owns you, it always will and she will humble you fast when you get outta pocket with her. Everyone has experienced it at some point.

You also must use technical and fundamentals together as well. News can affect stock price, so learn how to trade using fundamentals.

Head over to babypips website and complete the course there. While reading the material on there use, watch youtube videos on each of the topics in the babypips course to level up your knowledge and practice using Tradingview as well. Try to understand what indicators are good during uptrends, consolidations and downtrends. Study patterns, candlestick patterns as well.

You will eventually figure out a style of trading that is suitable for youbased on temperament and perspective.

You must remember this quote as well

''Your not actually a trader - your an observer who studies the market. Your trading decisions are based on what you observe''
