Losing Believe In Trading Success
November 27, 2019 12:00 - 8 minutes - 7.42 MBI had a really honest conversation with my childhood friend, and he said that it sounded like I didn’t truly believe in myself, like I didn’t think that I could actually make it as a day trader. Sadly, I realized that he was right. All of those times when I didn’t stick to my risk because I didn’t want to take a loss, when I entered a trade and got out right away even though I was right - all of those times I didn’t believe in myself, and that’s why I did all those things. I’m not sure h...
Belief In Myself
November 27, 2019 12:00 - 8 minutes - 7.42 MBSomewhere along my journey I lost belief in myself and it wasn't until after having a long conversation with one of my best friends that I figured this out and decided to enjoy my life again.
Thank You To YOU - Answering Questions About Day Trading
November 25, 2019 17:00 - 11 minutes - 10.8 MBI just wanted to thank all my followers and subscribers and all those who comment and like my videos. Here I will answer some of the questions that I’ve been receiving on social media. Oscar Sanchez: “For me, the hardest part was discipline. I have discipline but it can be inconsistent because my heart is corrupted by my hopes and dreams. The problem is, we’re human beings, and humans are just unstable and inconsistent. The battle with yourself never ends.” I agree with the statement tha...

A Weekly Update - Beginner Trader
November 25, 2019 12:00 - 10 minutes - 9.54 MBThe week before Thanksgiving was pretty good. My win rate was 50%, I had 3 wins and 3 losses. However, my biggest win was three times bigger than my biggest loss, so I did well overall! This upcoming week I will focus on 2 main things: Trading only the best setups when I see them. Not being afraid of the setups that I’ve been practicing lately, but with tiny position size. Another thing that I need to focus on is the positive outcome. In a weird way, whenever I’m trying to avoid a loss...

Small steps forward
November 24, 2019 14:00 - 13 minutes - 12 MBIn this episode I discuss how my last two trading days have been being that they were both small green baby days...but how small steps forward is progress and i'm focused more so on that.
Small Green Days
November 24, 2019 14:00 - 13 minutes - 12 MBThis is the paradox of day trading: I lose money whenever I focus too much on not losing money. I missed a cover on a short trade that I had. And because I didn’t realize the profit, I didn’t want to turn that trade into a loss. It started as a right setup and a great position. I held MYOV overnight and was comfortable holding it pre-market because the resistance area was shown as $13.13. But as the trade opened, it showed me a new resistance area at $12.40 (now I know it was really $12....
Talk with BrianLeeTrades
November 23, 2019 15:30 - 31 minutes - 29 MBBrian Lee is a consistently profitable trader. He started in the gaming industry as a professional Dota 2 player as a part of the Team Liquid.

Shorts and Borrows
November 22, 2019 13:00 - 10 minutes - 9.94 MBAs I said in the previous episode, I love to learn from the lessons of yesterday. The lesson was that I missed out because I didn’t borrow stocks ahead of the time. Today I had a pretty good day - I took a gain on CGIX. It was a low float stock - 1.6mln. Low float stocks tend to be radical as they go up and down momentarily. I noticed that the company had a ton of warrants (I check that kind of information through https://www.bamsec.com/). I also knew for a fact that it was about to rotate...
Patience with Short borrows
November 22, 2019 13:00 - 10 minutes - 9.94 MBI take last episodes lessons from not borrowing ahead of time for an anticipated move to actually pulling the trigger today on borrows on a low float that saved me the stress of not having them available but also had patience in waiting for the play to setup before using them just because I had them.
Beating your yesterday
November 20, 2019 12:00 - 9 minutes - 8.96 MBOn November 19, 2019, I took a small loss of 0.5R. Yet I felt good about it. The reason was quite simple - I was still doing better than I did a week before. I didn’t have any trades on Monday, November 18, because I didn’t see a good setup. I recently decided to focus on trading well instead of chasing questionable opportunities. No more playing revenge and jumping in after a loss. The only setup that I saw on Tuesday was with GNPX. However, the strategy that I call gap and crap doesn’t...
Redemption Plan For Trading
November 19, 2019 12:00 - 12 minutes - 11.6 MBAfter a bad week of day trading, sometimes you have to step back and think of a redemption plan for the week ahead. I’ve been having a really hard time sticking to my rules. As I was reviewing my trades and looking at my profit chart, I saw that for a while I was uptrending, then I was stagnant, and now I’m in a place where I start breaking into the support level of my profit chart. There are a few reasons for that, and one of them is that I’m trading all kinds of things instead of stick...

Planning for Redemption
November 19, 2019 12:00 - 12 minutes - 11.6 MBIn this episode I talk about how I am going to correct my bad habits and move forward with a game plan for Monday the 18th of November 2019! I'm excited to have this plan and share it because I feel it will help me stick with it. The plan is simple - stick to my trading setups, don't trade experimental trades with real money, and update my thoughts via the show to help stay accountable. All videos are on Youtube under Bthestory.
Relapse in Bad Habits
November 18, 2019 12:00 - 3 minutes - 3.45 MBAIHS is a ticker I will not forget. Today I broke rules and paid for it badly, losing 6R! Usually when I place good trades I risk 1 R to make 3 R so this is a upsetting day to say the least. They Journey Continues....
A Lapse in Bad Trading Habits
November 18, 2019 12:00 - 3 minutes - 3.45 MBOn November 15, 2019, I broke two important trading rules that I’ve set up for myself. In hindsight, I should have known better. But this is the frustrating thing about trading: you can do so well for a few months and then just have a bad week and a nasty lapse. But let me tell you what happened. I have 2 important rules when trading: Never trade a stock that’s rotating its float Don’t jump back in on the same stock once I’ve been wrong Whenever I break them, I pay for it. This time I...

November 16, 2019 13:30 - 2 minutes - 2.68 MBFiguring out day trading is a process, and I’m still working on developing my trading strategy and a plan. I got a lot better over the years, now it’s just a matter of sticking to my rules and exercising discipline. To help me with it, I’m now looking for a place to work as the reserves are slowly dwindling away.

B The Trader - Presenting A Podcast About Day Trading
November 16, 2019 13:30 - 1 minute - 1.77 MBIn November 2019 I started a podcast about the realities of day trading. I’m taking this leap despite feeling scared. I wanted to start this project for a while now, but I’ve been holding myself back thinking I needed to be consistently successful before I could talk about trading. Yet here I am. I’m not quite as successful as I’d like to be yet, but I decided to document my trading journey anyway. I wanted to show its real highs and lows, my wins and losses, my breakthroughs and setbacks....
