Hey, traders, it's Marina, the trader chick, and I am here with another episode of Making of a Day TraderWhat are areas in day trading?You know what? We don't respect the areas. Do you guys know what the areas are for the market?All right, so what are areas, and why do we need to respect them? Are you ready to learn? So what are areas? The market respect areas, and we have to respect them as well. So what are areas what are these areas, and why are they so important? These areas are the support and the resistance areas, that's what they are.

You know what attitude is?But let me tell you something. Your attitude is what's gonna get you to be a winning trader. Have you ever thought about attitude when you're trading?Have you ever even considered that your attitude is everything?

That attitude that you bring to the table. So let me give you a little of a hint here: Attitude is not innate.

Hey, it's Marina, The Trader Chick, and I want to talk to you about preparing for your trading day. You cannot just open your charts and start shooting bullets, right? You have to prepare. This is going to completely change your entire trading game. So there was this meme one time of Michael Phelp preparing for his races, right, which he ended up winning a gold metal for. And people were laughing at it and making fun of it because he was sitting there, basically what he was doing. He was visualizing. You could visualize with your eyes open or not. He was visualizing whatever it took for him to get to where he got.

Do You know how many trends in trading does the market show? Are you ready to find out the real secret?We know the downtrend. We know the uptrend trend. But do you guys know about the sideways trend? If you don't know the sideways trend, this is where all your money is going to go. So there are very three specific trends in trading, we've got the really cool downtrend, when the market is heading down, got the really great uptrend when everybody thinks that's where we should be going.Then we have the sideways movement. What do we do with that? And that's the secret of keeping your money in the bank, because I'll tell you another secret, the sideways area, that's where the majority of the money the traders end up losing. And we don't want that. Right. OK, so how do we discover trends?  

I have dedicated my life to simplify day trading and this is just an example of itToday we're going to have a fun talk about how day trading and Cirque de Soleil are so similar, I bet you didn't know that.The performers are ordinary humans doing extraordinary things, just like these traders are ordinary people that become extraordinary day traders.I totally believe that what it takes to be from an ordinary person to become extraordinary can be done in anything. And that's how successful day traders are. And it's very similar, the same steps as Cirque du Soleil performers take as day traders do as well. Yet for some reason, day traders, aspiring ones, don't believe that the commitment is important when you're learning to trade. Cirque du Soleil performers fall, probably way more than we see them actually doing great. They trust them with their lives, literally day traders. It is amazing to me the amount of traders that contact me saying, are we going to lose all this money? This is what it looks like when you have commitment, discipline, trust, confidence and all together put in, this is how they are able to do this.Now, imagine putting all those elements that we all can do into our day trading, and we are going to master it and kill it just the way Cirque de Soleil performers do as well.

 Hi, everybody, I'm Marina, the trader chick, and today I want to talk about support areas, specifically areas in general in a market, and when you're reading charts or regardless of what you are trading, regardless of the financial market that you are trading, they are crucial for you to know and understand support areas, also resistance areas. And if you don't know what to look for and where they are, you might constantly be making the wrong decisions by getting into wrong markets where there are these strong areas.What does support mean in trading?So today we are going to talk about what is a support area. And if you have a defined area in this particular case, a support area, you want to be very, very cautious and cognizant of those areas. And normally when you have a pretty significant trend support areas, they could turn into channeling margins, which is consolidation areas, exhaustion periods in decision areas. But if you do not have your area drawn in, and you want to be able to draw it in, so it's all about what can happen in the market, not so much what did, but what can.And when you have an area, there's a potential that it can hit that area again. If you do not know how to draw in a support area, that could be a real hindrance.And you could actually start to lose money because you were believing that the market is continuing down. However, if you have your seatbelt on and if you hit another car or if you hit a wall, you are protected in your support area.

 Hey, Traders, it's Marina, the trader chick, and today we are going to work on the breakout trade. What is breakout strategy?We have to get the concept. So the sideways trend, whatever you want to call it, indecision, the exhaustion, pattern of transition area, consolidation area, the channel market. However, if we do not have it is designated, that is a flat area or really understand where that area is, we will be missing one hundred percent of the best trade setups.So let's make sure we don't do that, and let's learn how to spot those trades. Consolidation areas, transition areas, again, whatever you want to call it. The market is going to do what the market is gonna do. And it's telling you, hey, it ain't going anywhere right now.OK, so what are those areas?They are support and resistance areas, resistance areas and are as important as for a Formula One driver putting on their seatbelts and their helmets. If you do not have them marked off, how are you ever going to be able to respect them the way the market respects them?All right, so support and resistance areas, we have to mark them. It could revisit those areas, but we have them marked off, so we know where those areas are.This is my absolute favorite, favorite way to spot these areas and to know when they are starting. What happens during this area, during the consolidation area of the channel, the indecision area?This is what happen next. The breakout trade, guys, that is it, all right, you're back in the confidence you've back and renewed.

 It's Marina, The Trader Chick, and I'm here to simplify your day trading. OK, so what in the world is day trading, and why is it not investing? So day trading is completely unlike investing. With day trading, we're focusing on the intraday, on the actual one day when you're in and out of trades in that specific day, if you don't really get all the lingo. So in day trading, you are in and out of positions that very same day.That is literally what day trading is about. Master that one instrument, that one instrument, that one market that truly brings you the money profitably, consistently every day when you are day-trading and then learn the next market. Investors really care about the companies that they are investing in to see them grow because they're going to go through ups and downs. Right. For instance, take Apple or Amazon. You know, those are solid companies, but on a daily basis, weekly basis, they could have their  flows. Right? They could go up or down, but you'd care about the company, you know, the fundamentals. You're seeing what they're doing in the future.It's OK because you are investing. Unlike day traders, we don't care at all if it's going up or if it's going down. Why? Because we're only looking at what's happening at the moment. And to be honest with you, we can make a lot of money going up, but we can make you probably even more when the companies are going down. We don't care about their overall health. We care only about what's going on right in front of us during that particular day.You can really understand and really see what's going on, rather than be scattered all over the place because each market works very differently. OK, so that's pretty much the essence of it, the gist of what are the differences between day trading and investing.

Hey, Traders, it's Marina, the trader chick, and today we're going to be talking about day trading lingo. You know, sometimes when you're just starting out or even if you've already been doing it for a while, the words sometimes just simply don't make sense. Right. Like, if I was to enter the Formula One driving world, probably half of the stuff that they say there, I wouldn't understand. And it's the same when it comes to trading and financial markets in general.Sometimes when you hear words that don't make sense. So today I'm going to simplify it and you are going to be talking like a pro. Are you ready? Have you ever been in a place where it's something foreign to you, and you simply don't know what people are talking about? I mean, it depends on the industry you're in, right? If you enter a Formula One driving world, you probably won't understand half of the stuff they say if you enter the medical world. I definitely don't get anything they say, but I sometimes feel the same when it comes to day trading and the financial markets altogether. So instead of feeling completely out of your realm and that's what kind of keeps you from starting today.Day Trading Terms And Definitions  What does intraday trading means? What is a bull market?What is a bear market?What is a profit target?What is a trading chart?IndicatorsTrending MarketsWhat is buying or going long?What is selling or going short?What's a market entry?Trading AreasWhat are Reversal Patterns?   

 Hey, everybody, it's Marina, the trader chick, and I am so excited that you guys are here, because today we are going to do something huge. So  we are going to be ready now to dive into the misconceptions and myths of day trading and bust them out of the water, because this is what's keeping so many people from actually doing great things.Are you guys ready? First, one that we will be hitting a lot more later on.Day Trading is Not InvestingOK, so let's begin by busting some of these myths. Because whenever I tell people that I'm a day trader, so many people are like, oh, I want to learn how to invest. First and foremost, day trading is not like investing in a number of ways.

So you want to trade into news now, is that a good idea? What's news? We hear the rumor, you know, well, the saying, I guess you could hear it says buy on the rumor, sell on the news. Right. So right there, we know just from that one thing that we are already getting the news way too late.And that's cool, right? Because if we're smart, we wouldn't even be buying on the rumor in the first place. And we don't we will be selling on the news because what we do is educated and calculated moves rather than just my grandma said it's a good idea. Or, you know, Kramer on Mad Money said it was a good idea as well, because, again, that's already news. Right? So by the time he's saying anything to us, it's pretty much a sell or buy.But we don't really know. Right, because we need to make educated rules. So here's the thing. News can really mess with the market, messy, it gets super messy, and if you are a day trader, you really do not want to be part of the news.

So you want to only work for two hours per day? That sounds really cool, doesn't it? Yeah, and day trading, the reason why, you'll be surprised. Are you ready to find out the reason why two hours is really the limit that you could go for?We hear a lot of people say "oh, I only work an hour and a half a day, I only am trading for one or two hours per day". We hear this quite a lot. Right. And it sounds really romantic. And, wow, I can't believe it. Then I get a lot of people like that's what I want to do. I only want to work one or two hours per day. You know what? It's cool. But I want to explain to you the reason why it is only one and a half to two hours per day.

What is FOMAT? And are you a victim of it, you don't know what that is? Fear of missing a trade. You know, we've heard FOMO, fear of missing out, well, for traders, it's fear of missing a trade, and it is a deadly fear. How do we know it's a fear? Because we are chasing trades left and right.Let me give you a little hint really, really quickly. There is always, always, always another trade coming. I do not care if you are a swing trader, and you have to sit around and wait for a trade for two weeks, or if you are a scalper like me going in for trades that are three to five minutes, sometimes I have to wait around a couple of hours. Big deal. Fear of missing a trade. You know what happens when we chase trades?You know what happens with the chasing of a trade?. We get in a trade too late because we feared that we are missing out on that trade. We get in right in time when it turns against us. And guess what? We're sitting out after that. Instead of fear of missing a trade, we should be feared of losing money for no good reason. And that's exactly what happens when we're fearing of missing trade. It's just how it goes, right.

Is day trading gambling, you want to know? Well, I'm here to give you the goods on this. This is something we hear all the time about day trading. And you know what? Yeah, it kind of sounds like it should be a gambling type of a thing, just like poker, just like going to the casino, blackjack, the roulette table.Day traders, people that put money into the market. I don't know about you, but being in this industry, I cannot even tell you the amount of people I get contacting me saying, hey, I want to trade. I just put in five thousand bucks into the market. I'm like, oh, which market?I'm not sure. I think it was stocks because, you know, somebody said that the stocks I mean, this alert room where, you know, they kind of mentioned some good stocks. I'm like, OK, where did you enter? Oh, I just followed. I just put in and, you know, of course, they end up losing 99.99% At times, they lose and then what do they say after that?Oh, this is gambling, it sucks. There's so much risk. I lost all my money. I blew an account. Yeah. What's your strategy? They don't even know what a trend looks like. I've asked so many people who have lost a ton of money and are at their wits end. I'm saying it's a gambling. This is too risky. I'm like, OK, cool. Tell me what your strategy is. Where do you enter?What indicators do you use? What charting platform do you use? And you know what they tell me? Charting platform. What do you mean or indicators? Well, I have the moving average. I use a candlestick. I'm like cool. So where do you enter from? They don't know. What's your risk management? Oh, I don't have a risk management. I know when to get out. No, you don't. Emotions when your stakes are high will get you every time.So, no, you won't know when you're getting out. You are gambling everything you've got on your trade. And it's not even a real trade because you don't even know what you're doing. So tell me, how is that? Is that gambling when you're just entering the market blindly? Hell, yeah, it's gambling.

Do you really need twenty-five thousand dollars to get started in day trading?, or is that just the plot they have to tell you?When I began trading, I was told that you needed twenty-five thousand dollars to have a trading account so that you could actually day-trade, if you have anything less than that, you're only allowed maybe to make like three or four trades per week.So that is a truth to some extent, because that is what the market and the brokers wants if you are trading stocks and equities. However, there are many other markets that you can trade.About the four or five different markets that you could trade. The majority of them you do not need that kind of money to begin, on the contrary for instance, I trade in emini futures and you could get started with less than a thousand dollars a week, so you could start with less than a thousand dollars in your account. Now, this is something that is really, really important. And this is something that the brokers love to tell you in pretty words. And it is a lie, and it is a danger, and hazard. Margins or that you have the power to trade with a certain amount of money.

I've got a question for you, do you use indicators? How many indicators do you use on your chart? Because you'll be surprised how many people use them and how many actually need them. All right, so here we've got our trading platform and now let's figure out about these indicators. So What are indicators?  and why do we need indicators? Right. What are day trading indicator for? So let's just set back a tiny bit before we get anywhere because I hear a lot of people like, oh, I really just like to trade on bare, bare nakedcharts. I just love price action.I hear you. I love it, too. I've been doing that for a long time. Not with real money, though, because the reality is you can't just enjoy a naked chart and for some reason, between traders istotally OK saying “hey, you know what, that bar looks really good.”I think I'm going to enter because it's going to go. Why would that bar go there? What's the reasoning behind it? Where are you going? What are you getting now? So this is what indicators are for me.

What is a trading platform for day traders or software that day traders have to use? Do you have a trading platform that you trade with? I am constantly asked about software's, indicators. Yet, trading platforms is probably the most important thing to have as a day trader. Why? Well, mainly if you don't have a trading platform as a day trader, you might as well not technically trade.What is the essence of a trading platform for a day trader? OK, basically the trading platform is the day trader's canvas, like an artist's canvas or notes that musicians use.I know that a lot of you guys have seen Day traders that have thousands of different monitors all over the place. Yeah, you know what, that's overrated.

You know pilots know that the equipment they're in is millions of dollars they also know that eventually one day they're going to be either saving lives or doing something truly critical and important. Do you know the amount of simulation hours they have spent testing these things out? Before they even step foot into the real thing and once they step foot into the real thing the amount of time they spend on the ground training.Let me ask you another question why do day traders think and act as though they are exempt from taking the time to learn, to practice, to commit to a paper account?  Day traders exempt and then say that it's too risky and then scream "it's too risky, it's gambling I lost all my money" and yet these day traders they prefer and even enjoy self-serving lies.  

 A lot of people, when they first begin in the financial markets, if you want to trade, they always wonder “what should I trade?” or “what markets are there?”All right. This is the coolest thing. Did you know that stocks only make up about 25 percent of the tradable markets? Every time I tell anybody I'm a day trader, they're like, oh, what stocks do you trade? Or Yeah, I dabble in stock trading.I will be talking about:  Forex  Equities Stocks FuturesOptions Cryptocurrencies 

Hey, have you heard about the new trading software that is guaranteed to bring you profits every single day? Have you guys heard of this? Have you been sold on a trading software only to find out that it's a scam?All you have to do is just turn on the on button on your software, walk away, and you'll be making five thousand bucks per day. Don't tell me you haven't heard this and even worse, how many of you have been bought and sucked into this kind of scam? Unfortunately, it's a norm and don't feel bad because you're not the only ones. It is common in the trading industry.

What are channeling markets? Basically, it is a sideways market. The market has been really stuck and going back and forth, even a little bit erratic back and forth between these two important areas. So if you guys don't know what this area is, this is the resistance area and the support area.So basically, what they are is literally understanding an area that the market is respecting over and over and over and over again.

What are areas in day trading?Do you guys know what the areas are for the market? Well, all right, so what are areas and why do we need to respect them? Are you ready to learn? So what are areas? Do you guys see this, do you see these pivots, you see how they are hitting that same area over and over and over again?The market respect's areas and we have to respect them as well. So what are areas what are these areas and why are they so important? This areas are the support and the resistance areas, that's what they are.
