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.
