Read This If You’re Early in Your Trading Journey There was a time when I was driving Uber, working long hours, staring at my phone between rides, wondering how people were actually changing their lives through the charts. I wasn’t special. I wasn’t rich. I didn’t have insider knowledge. I just had a decision: either stay where I was, or commit to learning something that could change my future. What most people don’t tell you is this — it took me five full years of losses before I became profitable. Five years of frustration. Doubt. Blowing accounts. Questioning myself. Wanting to quit more times than I can count. And here’s the truth that changed everything for me: 👉 Day trading is not about strategies. It’s about psychology. The market doesn’t beat traders — traders beat themselves. Overtrading. Revenge trading. Fear of missing out. Fear of being wrong. Lack of patience. That’s why if I could give ONE piece of advice to any beginner, it would be this: Master your psychology before you try to master the charts. Build a system rooted in: - Risk management - Discipline - Consistency - Patience One trade doesn’t matter. One day doesn’t matter. Who you become over time does. This journey is hard. There’s no way around it. You’re going to feel alone sometimes. You’re going to feel behind. You’re going to question if this is even for you. But let me remind you of something important: If the person next to you can do this… what makes you think you can’t? They’re human. They feel fear. They feel doubt. They’ve failed too. The only difference is they didn’t quit. So don’t give up — not on the bad days, not after the losses, not when it feels slow. Because the market doesn’t reward talent. It rewards those who stay long enough to grow. If you’re here, you’re already ahead. Stay locked in. Stay patient. Your time will come.

Most beginners lose money before the trade even starts — not because their idea was bad, but because they don’t understand how orders work. This lesson is going to save you money immediately. 1️⃣ What Is an Order? An order is simply how you tell the market what you want to do: - Buy - Sell - Exit - Protect yourself But how you send that order matters more than you think. 2️⃣ Market Orders (Fast but Dangerous) A market order means: “Get me in RIGHT NOW at whatever price is available.” Pros - Instant entry - Guaranteed fill Cons - Slippage - Terrible during volatility - You don’t control price 👉 Beginners love market orders 👉 Professionals use them only when speed matters If you’re using market orders during news or high volatility, you’re basically saying: “I don’t care how bad the fill is.” 3️⃣ Limit Orders (Controlled & Professional) A limit order means: “I will ONLY buy or sell at this exact price or better.” Pros - Full price control - No surprise fills - Cleaner execution Cons - You might not get filled This is what disciplined traders use most of the time. 4️⃣ Stop Orders (Protection, Not Entry Toys) A stop order activates only after price hits a level. Used for: - Stop losses - Breakout entries (advanced) Key rule: ❌ Stops are NOT suggestions ✅ Stops are NON-NEGOTIABLE protection If you move your stop every time you’re wrong — you’re not trading, you’re hoping. 5️⃣ Bid & Ask (The Hidden Cost Nobody Explains) Every chart has two prices: - Bid = what buyers are willing to pay - Ask = what sellers want The difference is the spread. You buy at the ask You sell at the bid Wide spread = instant disadvantage Tight spread = cleaner trading 👉 This is why low-volume stocks destroy beginners. 6️⃣ Why Beginners Get “Robbed” on Fills Common rookie mistakes: - Trading illiquid stocks - Market ordering during volatility - Ignoring the spread - Entering emotional instead of planned

If you already understand what the stock market is, what a stock is, and market hours, this is where things start to click. Most beginners lose not because their strategy is trash — but because they’re trading at the wrong time. Today we’re talking about market sessions, liquidity, and when traders actually make money. 1. The Market Moves in Sessions The market isn’t alive all day. It breathes in sessions. - Asian Session – Slow, choppy, low volume - London Session – Volume starts building - New York Session – This is where the action is Price moves best when institutions are active. No institutions = no real movement. 2. Liquidity Is Everything Liquidity means buyers and sellers are actually present. High liquidity: - Clean moves - Respect of levels - Follow-through Low liquidity: - Fake breakouts - Chop - Stop hunts - Emotional revenge trading Most rookies trade dead hours, get chopped up, then blame the market. 3. Best Time for Beginners If you’re new, stop trying to trade all day. Best window: - New York Open - First 1–2 hours of the session Why? - Highest volume - Cleanest moves - Less patience required - More predictable behavior Professional traders don’t trade more — they trade better timing. 4. Why Volume Confirms Price Price without volume is a lie. - Breakout + no volume = fake - Move + strong volume = intention Volume tells you if the move is real or manipulated. 5. Rookie vs Professional Rookie mindset: - Trades all day - Trades out of boredom - Chases candles - Forces setups Professional mindset: - Waits for session - Trades specific time windows - Waits for volume - One good trade > ten random ones This is a patience game disguised as a money game. Key Takeaway You don’t need more indicators. You don’t need more strategies. You need: - Correct timing - Liquidity - Discipline to wait Master when to trade before worrying about how to trade. 👉 What session do you usually trade — and are you trading it because it’s active or because you’re bored?

Before we ever talk about charts, indicators, or strategies, you need to understand one core truth: Price only moves because of buyers and sellers. The stock market is not random. It’s not controlled by indicators. And price doesn’t move just because a line crossed another line. At its core, the market is an auction. Every single candle you see on a chart represents a battle between buyers and sellers. When there are more buyers than sellers, price moves up. When there are more sellers than buyers, price moves down. That’s it. Everything else is built on top of this. This is called supply and demand. - Demand = buyers willing to buy at a price - Supply = sellers willing to sell at a price If buyers are aggressive and willing to pay higher prices, the market moves up. If sellers are aggressive and willing to sell at lower prices, the market moves down. Price is constantly moving to find balance between these two forces. What Is Liquidity? Liquidity simply means available orders in the market. Big institutions can’t just buy or sell whenever they want. They need enough buyers or sellers on the other side of their trades. That’s why price often: - Moves fast near highs or lows - Spikes during market open - Reacts strongly at obvious levels Those areas are full of liquidity. The market is always searching for liquidity so large players can enter and exit positions. This is also why price doesn’t move smoothly. It jumps, pauses, and explodes — because liquidity isn’t evenly distributed. Why Some Times of Day Move More Than Others Price moves best when volume and liquidity are high. That’s why: - The New York market open is active - Certain hours are slow and choppy - Breakouts often fail when volume is low The market needs participation to move. No volume = no real movement. Key Takeaway Indicators do not move price. Patterns do not move price. News does not magically move price. Orders move price. Were these videos helpful?

Why Psychology Is the Real Edge in Day Trading Most people think day trading is about charts, indicators, or finding the perfect strategy. That’s what everyone focuses on. But the truth is — most traders don’t lose because of bad strategies. They lose because of poor psychology. You can give two people the exact same setup. One follows the plan, controls risk, and walks away. The other panics, moves their stop, overtrades, and blows the account. Same setup. Completely different outcome. Day trading exposes you to: - Fear when you’re in a losing trade - Greed when you’re in a winning trade - Frustration after a loss - Ego after a win If you don’t control your emotions, the market will control you. This is why most beginners keep jumping from strategy to strategy. They don’t need a new setup. They need discipline, patience, and emotional control. Trading is not about being right. It’s about executing the same plan consistently. Once I understood this, everything changed. I stopped trying to predict the market. I stopped revenge trading. I started thinking in probabilities. That’s when consistency begins. Psychology is the difference between: - Knowing what to do - And actually doing it And that’s why it’s the most overlooked skill in day trading.
