| Intro

0:00Hi guys, welcome to another trend line

0:01trading video. I am super excited about

0:04today. So I'm going to be breaking down

0:06an entire a toz master class of how to

0:09trade trend lines. But before we get

0:10into the charts, I want to introduce

0:12myself and [music] set the tone for this

0:14master class. My name is Tori and I have

0:15been trading trend lines for 10 years

0:17now. I learned [music] a trading

0:18strategy from a family member and I have

0:20been able to generate $500,000 in

0:23trading profits. [music] One thing that

0:24kind of sets me apart from the rest of

0:26the industry is I showcase every single

0:28trade that I place. [music] I post

0:30broker statements. I do entire trade

0:32breakdowns just so that you know

0:33everything I'm doing is transparent and

0:35authentic. I have a community of traders

0:37that I've taught [music] this strategy

0:38to who have been able to gain success in

0:40the markets. I have thousands of

0:42community members. My approach to the

0:43markets are also fairly unconventional

0:46because it is incredibly simple. I'm not

0:48interested in complicating the process,

0:49[music] trying to utilize indicators or

0:52pull information from places that I do

0:55not need. I need the bare bones to get

0:56me into a trade and out of a trade. So,

0:58what I focus on is a simple approach,

1:00[music] clean charts, clear structure,

1:03and that's where I've seen the most

1:04success. Trendline trading is one of the

1:05styles [music] that, if you can use it

1:07properly, can give you a serious edge in

1:09the markets. It's simple and effective

1:11and easy to replicate [music] time and

1:12time again. This master class is not

1:14just a quick how-to. This is a full

1:16breakdown from [music] A to Z. If you're

1:18a beginner, you'll be able to pick up

1:20trading after this video, or if you're

1:22already experienced, you'll be able to

1:23sharpen your edge. I have designed

1:24[music] this to be something that you

1:25can actually follow, learn, and apply.

1:27Also, in this video, I'm going to walk

1:29you through my exact strategies that I

1:30use every day in the live markets.

| Setting Expectations

1:32Before we get into this, I want to set

1:34the realistic expectations that you need

1:36to have. One of the biggest reasons that

1:37traders struggle is because they have

1:39this unrealistic expectation that

1:40they're going to get rich overnight.

1:42they're going to make thousands after

1:43watching one singular video. And that's

1:45just simply [music] not the case. In

1:47reality, trading is a skill that takes

1:49time to master. You have to treat it

1:50just like a profession. It takes

1:51patience, commitment, consistency, even

1:54when you don't see the results [music]

1:55right away. I have been able to generate

1:56consistency and half a million in

1:58trading profits. But I didn't think it

2:00was going to happen overnight. I gave

2:01myself time. I treated this just like a

2:03career. I put the years in to perfect

2:05[music] it. I followed a process and I

2:07simplified things. But I allowed myself

2:09grace when I didn't see instant results.

2:11So, no, this is not easy money, but it

2:13is possible if done correctly. If you're

2:15willing to commit to the process, stay

2:17disciplined, and learn a strategy that

2:18is built for longevity, you are in the

2:20right place. This strategy that I'm

2:22going to walk you through in this master

2:23class is the exact strategy that I use

2:25in the live markets. It's structured,

2:27it's simple, and it works if you do.

2:29Let's get into it. First, let's go over

| The Basics of Trading

2:31the basics of trading and how you can

2:32make money in the markets. But if you're

2:34more experienced or already know this,

2:35we have timestamps in the description

2:37below to where you can skip to the

2:38section that's more relevant to you.

2:40Trading at its core is the process of

2:42buying and selling assets. It's a simple

2:44idea, but it requires skill and strategy

2:46to do it consistently. Okay, I'm going

2:48to give you some analogies to help you

2:49understand it better. Think of trading

2:50like buying something at a discount and

2:52then later selling it for a higher

2:53price. The classic buy low, sell high

2:55concept. For example, imagine that you

2:57buy a vintage comic book for $10 because

3:00you believe the value of it's going to

3:01go up. If you sell it later for $15,

3:04you've made a $5 profit. That is

3:05essentially trading. Doing that over and

3:08over and over again. Trading works with

3:09the same principle, but it's with assets

3:11like stocks, futures, forex, and crypto.

3:14So, the key here is understanding the

3:16optimum time to buy and the optimum time

3:18to sell. And that's when analysis and

3:20strategy comes into play. Now, one

3:21important thing to remember here is you

3:23can make money when the markets go up or

3:25go down. Most people think that you can

3:27only profit when the price is rising,

3:28but that's not true. In trading, you can

3:30also profit from falling markets. Think

3:32of it like selling high, buying low.

3:34This is called short selling. So, this

3:35is essentially you selling an asset

3:37before you own it and then buying it

3:39back. But we'll go over more of this

3:40concept later in the video. So, whether

3:41the price is going up or down, there's

3:43always an opportunity to make profits

3:45from the market as long as you know what

3:46you're doing. That's the real benefit of

3:48trading. So, in this master class,

3:49you'll learn how to spot these

3:50opportunities so that you can enter and

3:52exit trades with confidence no matter

3:54which way the market is moving. Before

3:55we get into trend lines, it is important

3:56to understand the super basics,

3:58candlesticks. If you can appreciate a

| Candlesticks

4:00little bit of history and you're fairly

4:02a nerd when it comes to trading, you'll

4:04appreciate the history of the

4:05candlestick. Candlesticks were

4:06originally developed in Japan by rice

4:08traders to track price movement. But

4:10today, we use the same method to track

4:12different assets because it's so

4:13effective. All right, let's get into

4:14candlesticks. So, what I'm going to do

4:16is draw two candlesticks here to show

4:17you the basics of each one. So, here is

4:19called the body of a candle. The

4:21difference between the green candle and

4:23the red candle is this right here is

4:26where the price opens. So, at the

4:28beginning of the day, the price started

4:30right here. This is a green candle and

4:32represents price pushing up higher

4:34throughout the day. And then at the end

4:36of the day, we've got the close, which

4:38is going to be right here. This is the

4:40closing price. So, we've got the open

4:42price and the closing price. What makes

4:44this one green is that the open price

4:46was lower, then pushed higher throughout

4:49the day, and ended here higher. So, this

4:52is a green candle representing that

4:53price pushed higher. Now, this right

4:55here, same concept. This is a body. But

4:58the difference between the green and the

4:59red is that price started here. This is

5:02the open. And now price pushed lower and

5:05closed down here. So the difference

5:07between the green and the red. Price

5:09opened lower, pushed higher. Here price

5:12opened higher, pushed lower. Now this is

5:14all within a day. This is a day's worth

5:17of price movement. Now let's go over the

5:19wicks. These right here are called

5:21wicks. Now what these mean is that price

5:24pushed lower and higher outside of the

5:27opening and closing price. So that means

5:29when price opened and closed, it pushed

5:32higher and lower outside of the body

5:34before closing. So during this 1-day

5:37period, price opened here, pushed lower

5:40and higher and then closed. So this is

5:42the movement outside of the open and

5:44close. Now the same applies for the red

5:46candle. This is also the wick and this

5:48is the wick. Represents the same thing.

5:50the movement of price throughout the

5:52day. So now you know what a candlestick

5:54is and what they represent when you see

5:55them on a chart. Now let's talk about

| Market Types

5:56the different markets that you can

5:57trade. Each one has pros and cons and

6:00what market you trade usually comes down

6:01to personal preference. So let's break

6:03down each one. First we're going to go

6:05over the forex market. Forex is short

6:07for foreign exchange and it is

6:09essentially trading currencies against

6:12each other. And what you're doing is

6:13just anticipating the change of the

6:15exchange rate. So essentially, if you

6:17were anticipating that the price of the

6:19euro is going to go up, you will buy.

6:21And if you're anticipating that the

6:23value of the US dollar would go down,

6:25you would sell. And there are many

6:26different combinations and currencies

6:28that you can trade. And some of the most

6:30popular are going to be USD and the euro

6:35is going to be GBP

6:38versus JPY. So the GBP is going to be

6:42the great British pound and the JPY is

6:44going to be the Japanese yen. So, there

6:45are a lot of different currencies and

6:47variations that you can trade. And you

6:49can also trade these currencies 24 hours

6:51out of the day, five days a week, Monday

6:55through Friday. The next one we're going

6:56to go over is crypto. Now, this one I

6:59have the least experience in, but I'm

7:01sure many of you guys have heard about

7:03it. Some of the most popular assets that

7:04you've probably heard of is going to be

7:06Bitcoin

7:08or Ethereum. Now, this is going to be

7:10the same concept. You can either buy or

7:12sell these anticipating that the price

7:14of Bitcoin is going to go up, which I'm

7:15sure many of y'all are thinking, or

7:17maybe the price of Ethereum is going to

7:19go down. Now, the difference between

7:20Forex and crypto is crypto can be traded

7:2424 hours out of the day, 7 days a week.

7:26So, there is no limit to when you can

7:29trade Bitcoin, which means you can also

7:31trade crypto Saturdays and Sundays on

7:33the weekends if you really wanted to.

7:35Now, crypto is known for being super

7:36volatile. That means that there is

7:38opportunity but also a lot of risk if

7:40you don't have a solid plan. Now the

7:42next one that we're going to go over

7:43which many of you guys know you know the

7:46stock market. This is stuff like Amazon,

7:50Apple, Netflix, Tesla, Home Depot, all

7:53of the above, Nvidia, GameStop. Now with

7:56stocks, same kind of scenario here. You

7:59could anticipate that the price of Apple

8:01is going to go up or the price of Tesla

8:04is going to go down. So you would either

8:06buy thinking the price is going to go up

8:08or sell thinking the price is going to

8:09go down. Same scenarios over here. Now

8:11the stock market is open Monday through

8:13Friday from 9:30 a.m. Eastern to 400

8:19p.m. Eastern. Now there is one more

8:21market to go over and this is my

8:23favorite and my most traded market. Now

8:27this is the futures market. Now this is

8:30what I personally trade. Now the

8:32different types of futures that you can

8:33trade is going to be things like

8:35commodities, agriculture, energies,

8:38indices and that is things like gold

8:41which I know you guys have heard of.

8:42That'll be types of metals. You can

8:45trade oil which are types of energies.

8:49You can trade the S&P 500 which is an

8:52index. So many different types of things

8:54you can trade in the futures market and

8:56things like corn which would be

8:59agricultural. So, a lot of options here

9:01with futures. Now, same concept here

9:03with futures. If you were anticipating

9:04that the value of gold is going to go

9:07up, you would buy gold. If you're

9:09anticipating that the price of oil is

9:11going to fall, you would sell oil. If

9:14you're anticipating that the price of

9:15corn is going to go up, you would buy

9:17corn. If you're anticipating that the

9:19price of the indicy or index spy, S&P

9:22500, or the NASDAQ, the Dow is going to

9:25go up, you would buy. Now, how often can

9:28you trade these instruments? So futures

9:30can be traded six days out of the week,

9:3223 hours a day, with the exception of

9:35the market being closed on Saturday.

9:38Now, the reason why I love futures so

9:40much is it's got ideal trading hours. I

9:43love the different instruments that you

9:44can trade, but also they move fast. They

9:47have a high volume and they offer great

9:49leverage. And basically what that means

9:51is just your dollar goes a long way.

9:53Now, no matter what market you decide to

9:55choose, my strategy is applicable to all

9:57of them because it's purely based on

9:58price action and market structure. And

10:00that's valid no matter what asset or

10:02market you decide to trade. Now, how do

| TradingView

10:04we actually look at markets and analyze

10:06the price to find opportunities? Most

10:08traders use a platform called Trading

10:09View, which is what we're going to go

10:10over. And remember guys, if this is

10:12stuff that you already know, feel free

10:13to go to the description of this video.

10:15We have timestamps in the description so

10:16you can skip forward to a section that's

10:18relevant to you. So, now let's get into

10:20Trading View. This is going to be my

10:21bread and butter. This is where every

10:23trader lives. This is our home base. So

10:25now this is where we can view the

10:27movement or the price of an instrument

10:30in any market. So right now you can tell

10:32we're looking at Tesla. This is the

10:34price movement of Tesla. You look to the

10:36left on Trading View and these are going

10:37to be your tools. These help you analyze

10:39the price and mark up your charts. Over

10:41here to the left will be your watch

10:43list. This is where you can put all of

10:44your favorite instruments, all of your

10:46favorite assets like Tesla, Apple, gold,

10:49silver. This is where your favorite

10:51instruments will live. And then up top

10:52here, you'll see these are time frames.

10:54Before we go any deeper, I want to touch

10:56on something that you'll see a lot

10:57inside of Trading View, and that's going

10:58to be the time frames. Now, remember, we

11:00went over candlesticks here. Every

11:02candlestick that you see on your chart

11:04is based on a certain time frame. So, if

11:06you were seeing the 1 hour chart, each

11:09candle represents one hour of price

11:11movement. And then if you go to the

11:13daily time frame here, like we went over

11:15in our earlier example, each candle

11:17represents one entire day or 24 hours of

11:20price movement. Remember, these are the

11:22bodies, these are the wicks. This is all

11:25of the price movement within a day. So

11:27now, the smaller time frame that you go

11:28in, the more noise in short-term price

11:31movement that you can see. The higher

11:34the time frame that you go in, you get

11:35more of a bigger picture. The key is to

11:38understanding each time frame and how it

11:39affects the data that you're looking at

11:41and using it to build a strategy that

11:42fits you. Some traders like to trade on

11:44lower time frames like the five minute,

11:46the 1 hour, while other traders like to

11:48trade on the higher time frames. I

11:50personally like to trade on the 4hour

11:51time frame and the daily time frame.

11:53This is all going to be personal

11:54preference and whatever is applicable to

11:56your strategy. So this is trading view.

11:58There are many other features within it,

12:00but these are the main three that we

12:01need to use. Now I'm going to show you

| Market Trends

12:03how to use Trading View to actually

12:04analyze what direction the market is

12:06going in. Now before I show you this

12:08information on Trading View, I'm going

12:09to draw it out for you. So when you

12:11think of the different directions that

12:13the market goes in, you think it's

12:14either up or down. There is actually a

12:17third direction that the market can go

12:19in and that is sideways. So let's go

12:22over what these look like. So the first

12:23one that everyone knows is uptrend or

12:27some people call this bullish and it

12:30essentially just means up. So if you

12:32look at an instrument or an asset from

12:34left to right and the price has started

12:36lower and ended up higher over time,

12:39we've got an upward trend. This is a

12:41bullish trend here. Now, within this

12:43uptrend, you can see there are areas or

12:46times where the price did go down, but

12:48we're looking at this overall. Overall,

12:50from left to right, the price has gone

12:53up. So, this is an upward trend. Let's

12:56go over the next popular direction that

12:57most of you guys know, which is a

12:59downtrend. Now, another name for this is

13:02bearish, and essentially just means

13:04we're moving down. Now, what this looks

13:06like is the price would start higher and

13:09over time ends lower. So the overall

13:12direction looking from left to right. If

13:14the price has started higher and ended

13:16lower, we're looking at a downtrend

13:18here. Now, same scenario. You can see

13:20there were moments of up, but overall

13:22over a period of time, we're down. The

13:25price is down, price is bearish. Now,

13:28let's go over the third direction, which

13:29is called consolidation. This is a

13:31direction that not many new traders

13:33understand. This can also be called a

13:35range and essentially just means

13:37sideways movement here. So when we're

13:39looking at price from left to right and

13:41we haven't made any progress or any

13:44direction, we are in consolidation.

13:46There are many moments where the price

13:49has gone down, the price has gone up,

13:51the price has gone down, but overall we

13:54have made no progress is still at the

13:56same point here. This is consolidation.

13:59Now let me show you some real examples

14:00on the chart so you can see what these

14:02actually look like. So we're using

14:04Trading View here to identify the

14:05overall trend of an instrument. This

14:07right here is the Dow Jones. We're

14:09looking at a monthly time frame. And

14:11now, if we're looking at this from left

14:13to right, the overall direction or

14:15overall trend of this instrument is up

14:18or bullish. Now, we're moving to another

14:20instrument. Looking at this from left to

14:22right, the price is overall down or

14:26bearish. This is crude oil. We're on the

14:29monthly time frame. And from left to

14:31right, you can see the overall trend of

14:33this is going down. Now, this is the

14:35third instrument here. This is platinum.

14:37This is the same time frame, the monthly

14:38time frame. But now, if we look at the

14:40price from left to right, starting here

14:42to here, the price is overall in the

14:45same area. We're moving sideways. This

14:47is considered consolidation or a range.

14:50In these next few sections, you're going

14:51to start learning how to actually trade.

14:53And I'm going to show you something that

14:54I did to help make this a lot easier.

| Trend Lines

14:56All right, let's get into the first real

14:57building blocks of this master class, a

14:59trend line. A trend line is a diagonal

15:01line that you draw to connect points of

15:03a trend. It helps you define the

15:05structure and direction of a market. If

15:06that sounds confusing, don't worry.

15:08We're going to go over an example here

15:09on the whiteboard. So, as you guys saw

15:11in the previous examples, we were able

15:13to identify upward trends and downward

15:17trends within the market. Now, the trend

15:20line is what connects these points in

15:24each trend. Since this is an overall

15:26upward trend, we're going to draw a

15:28trend line to help connect these points

15:30to help us identify the upward trend.

15:35we're able to connect points within this

15:38upward trend to help us identify the

15:40direction that it's going or the

15:41structure of this trend. So, this right

15:44here is an upward trend line or a

15:47bullish trend line. Now, let's go over a

15:50downward trend line. Dude, wait till you

15:52guys see how we start utilizing it. It's

15:54going to blow your mind. So, now we've

15:56gone over what a downward trend looks

15:58like and how to identify it. But now

16:01let's see how we can draw a trend line

16:02to help us identify a downward trend. So

16:05looking at this from left to right, we

16:06want to connect as many points as we can

16:08with our line to help us identify this

16:11downward trend. You can see we've

16:13captured

16:15all of these points here within this

16:17downward trend. Now, when we draw these

16:20lines, they aren't just random. So when

16:22you start to see price respect this same

16:24diagonal line that we just drew over and

16:27over again, that is your structure. Now

16:29that I've shown you on the whiteboard

16:30how to draw a trend line, let's see what

16:31they look like with real-time market

16:33data on Trading View. All right. Now,

16:35let's replicate the same thing that we

16:36did on the whiteboard on the markets

16:38here. Okay. Here we are looking at the

16:40Dow. We're still in that monthly time

16:42frame, and this is an upward trend.

16:44Looking at it from left to right, the

16:47overall trend is upward. If we're going

16:49to draw a line on the chart, a trend

16:51line, we're going to go over to our

16:53toolbox here on the left. Now, you would

16:54think we would use the trend line tool.

16:56It's ironic that we're not, but we're

16:58actually going to use the ray tool to

17:00help draw our trend lines. The very

17:02first point of our trend line is going

17:04to start here with the lowest point that

17:05we see on the screen. The second point

17:07of our trend line is going to be the

17:09next lowest point we see on our screen.

17:10We had just drawn our first upward trend

17:13line. This has just helped us identify

17:15the direction of this instrument. Now,

17:18let's go over some downward trend lines.

17:19Now, we have moved to crude oil on the

17:21monthly time frame. We're going to go

17:22back to this toolbox over here to the

17:24left. It's going to be the opposite

17:26concept for our downward lines. Our

17:28first point is going to be the highest

17:29point you see on the screen. Our next

17:31point is going to be the next lowest

17:33point you see on the screen. I'm going

17:34to change the color of this to red so

17:36that we can identify this is a downward

17:38trend line. So, we have just drawn our

17:40second trend line. This helps us

17:41identify the downward direction of this

17:44asset. As you can see, the price has

17:46touched here, here, here, and here. Now,

17:51the more time that you spend analyzing

17:53these charts and drawing these lines,

17:55the easier it will become to spot these

17:56trend lines. Now, let's talk about

| Support and Resistance

17:58another concept in the markets, support

18:00and resistance. So, before we get into

18:02it on Trading View, let me draw it out

18:03on the whiteboard here. Okay, now let's

18:04go over support and resistance, SNR.

18:08Now, I'm going to draw some price action

18:10here and show you what support and

18:11resistance is. So, now remember, we

18:14talked about the direction called

18:15consolidation. This is where support and

18:17resistance really comes into play here.

18:19So, we've gone over upward trends,

18:20downward trends, upward trend lines, and

18:23downward trend lines. How do we mark up

18:25the consolidation that we went over?

18:27This is where support and resistance

18:28comes into play, S and R. So, now when

18:31drawing our support and resistance,

18:33we're going to do something very similar

18:34like we did with our trend lines. We're

18:36trying to capture as many points as we

18:38can with the price movement. We're going

18:41to start with support. Think of support

18:43like a floor.

18:47When the price got to the floor, it

18:50turned around. When the price got to the

18:52floor, it turned around. We're trying to

18:54capture as many points from the floor as

18:57possible. This is called support. Now,

19:00resistance is going to be the opposite.

19:02Think of resistance as though it's a

19:05ceiling.

19:07We're trying to capture as many touch

19:09points as possible here. Price got to

19:12the ceiling and then turned around.

19:14Price got to the ceiling and then turned

19:16around.

19:17This is called resistance. Support the

19:20floor. Resistance the ceiling. Price

19:23moves in between. Now, we're just simply

19:26trying to capture as many touch points

19:27as possible. There will be moments where

19:29price breaks out of it. But as long as

19:31we can capture as many touch points, we

19:33have drawn a correct resistance and

19:36support. Okay. Now, let's go over some

19:38real world examples on Trading View. So,

19:40we've got platinum on the monthly time

19:43frame. And now we're going to go over to

19:45the toolbox here and instead of the ray

19:48tool that we're used to, we're going to

19:50use the horizontal line. Now let's start

19:53by drawing our support, which means it

19:55acts as a floor. So we're trying to

19:57capture as many touch points as we can

19:59where the price hit and then turned

20:01around. Right here, you can see there

20:03were many times where the price of

20:04platinum hit this horizontal line, which

20:07is our support, and then turned around,

20:09hit, turned around, hit, turned around.

20:12Same here, here, and here. Now, let's

20:14draw our resistance. We're going to use

20:16the same tool, the horizontal line. But

20:18now, we're going to draw this as though

20:19it is the ceiling. We're trying to

20:21capture as many touch points as possible

20:24where the price of platinum hit and

20:25turned around. It hit here, turned

20:27around, hit here, turned around. This is

20:31support and resistance. Using this tool

20:33helps us identify consolidation within

20:35the markets. Now, this is the time to

20:36get excited. This is where it gets

20:38powerful. Trend lines and support and

20:40resistance work even better when they're

20:41aligned. Later in this master class, I'm

20:44going to show you how to utilize these

20:45tools together to help you identify

20:47where the price is likely to go. Now

| Order Types

20:48that we understand how the market moves

20:50and where price reacts, let's go over

20:52how to enter and exit trades. This means

20:54understanding different order types.

20:56There are two main order types that you

20:58can use. There is a market order and a

21:00limit order. So, we're going to go back

21:01to the whiteboard so I can show you guys

21:02some examples. Okay, first let's go over

21:05market orders.

21:07A market order. So, we're going to say

21:09we're looking at the price. If we're

21:10looking at the price from left to right,

21:12this is always going to be where the

21:13price is at right now. If we want to

21:16place a market order, that means get me

21:20into the market where the price is at

21:23right now. So, if you place a market

21:25order and the price of whatever

21:27instrument you're trading is at $100,

21:30when you place that order, it gets you

21:32in at $100. So, a market order is going

21:35to be the most simple order to

21:37understand.

21:38It means get me in immediately at the

21:40current market price. Now, let's talk

21:42about limit orders. We're going to go

21:45over the same kind of price action.

21:49Now, when you place a limit order,

21:51instead of getting you in where the

21:53price is at right now, you're actually

21:55going to tell the market at what price

21:57you want to get in. So, if the price is

21:59currently trading at $100, but you want

22:02to get in at $50, you place a limit

22:08order. So, if the price is currently

22:10trading at $100, when and if the price

22:14gets down to 50 is when your order will

22:17be placed, your limit order will be

22:19triggered. And then the same concept

22:21goes for if you would like to place your

22:23trade at $150 limit. So when and if the

22:27price gets to 150, that's when your

22:30limit order will be triggered. So those

22:32are the basics. Market orders are for

22:34immediate entries and exits, and limit

22:36orders are for planned entries and

22:38exits. Understanding this gives you

22:40control over how to get into the market

22:41and how to manage your trades. Now, what

22:43I'm about to show you next is how you

22:44can maximize your profits and protect

22:46your capital. Now that you know what

| Take Profit and Stop Loss

22:48types of trades you can enter, it's just

22:49as important to know how to exit those

22:51trades. This is where take profit and

22:54stop-loss comes into play. So, I'm going

22:55to use the whiteboard again to help me

22:57explain. Let's go over a take profit.

23:01I'm going to draw a price action to help

23:03us understand takerit. Let's say that

23:06the price is at $100. We want to place a

23:10market order just like we had went over

23:12previously to buy. We are anticipating

23:15that the price is going to go higher.

23:18So, if we got in at market order, that

23:20means get us in right now at $100. We

23:23want to see the price go up. So, we're

23:25going to place a take-profit order. So,

23:28if the price gets to $150, I want to

23:31take my profit and close my trade. And

23:34that would look something like this.

23:35When or if the price gets to $150,

23:40you get to take your profits and your

23:43trade is closed automatically when the

23:45price gets to $150. So, the actual

23:49definition of a takerit is a preset

23:51level where you want to close your trade

23:53and lock in gains. Now, let's go over a

23:57stop-loss. Now, both of these are fairly

23:59self-explanatory. The take profit allows

24:01you to take your profit. A stop-loss

24:04will stop your loss. Now, we're going to

24:07use the same kind of market structure to

24:09go over what a stop-loss means. So, same

24:11scenario as the last one. You placed a

24:12market order buy at $100. Get me in

24:15right now. and you're hoping that the

24:17price goes up or you're anticipating

24:19that the price is going to go up. What

24:20happens if it doesn't and you have to

24:23take a loss? This is where the stop-loss

24:25comes into play here. So, believe it or

24:27not, most traders aren't always right.

24:30So, there's going to be instances where

24:32you get into a position and the trade

24:34doesn't work out. So, how can we stop

24:36our losses from being too high or manage

24:39our risk? Let's say that we're willing

24:41to lose $50 if the price doesn't work

24:44out. That means if the price comes down

24:47to $50, go ahead and stop my loss from

24:52getting any bigger essentially. So you

24:54just place a stop-loss order at $50. So

24:58for example, it would look something

24:59like this. If the price ended up coming

25:01down against you, it stopped your loss

25:04from getting any bigger and once it hit

25:06the $50,

25:09you took your loss here. So, if the

25:11price came down against you and hit this

25:13$50, this is where your trade gets

25:15automatically closed, just like the

25:17takerit. Now, let's bring it all

25:19together. Let's say you get into a

25:20position and you're ready for a loss or

25:23a profit. How do we place both of these

25:25orders? Now, let's see how we can place

25:27a takerit and a stop-loss on the charts

25:30here in Trading View. Okay, we are

25:32looking at the stock Apple here. We're

25:33in the monthly time frame. The price is

25:35trading at $106 right now. Let's say the

25:39same scenario. We're going to place our

25:41market order to buy right here.

25:44Now, if you hover your mouse over where

25:47the price is at, you can see a takerit

25:49and a stop-loss, TPSL.

25:52To set your stop loss, you'll drag the

25:54stop-loss down to $50. Let's say you're

25:58willing to lose $50 if the trade doesn't

26:01work out in your favor.

26:04And let's say you want to make $50 if

26:06the price goes up. So, you're going to

26:08drag your takeprofit to $50.

26:11If the price gets to 157, you'll take

26:14your $50 profit. If the price goes

26:17against you down to $55, you will take

26:20your $50 loss and stop your loss from

26:22getting any bigger. Take profit, stop

26:25loss. Now, let's see how this trade

26:27plays out. Now, here we go. We're up

26:29$484.

26:32The price just made it to our takerit

26:34and automatically closed us out of our

26:36trade. We were able to capitalize on

26:39$50.89

26:40here. So, this is a scenario that worked

26:43in our favor. We got into our position,

26:46placed our market buy order, the price

26:48worked in our favor, continued to move

26:50up, and closed us out automatically at

26:5250 bucks. Let's go over a scenario where

26:54it didn't work out. Now, we're looking

26:56at Home Depot in the monthly time frame.

26:59The current price is at $27.

27:02Same scenario. Let's place a buy market

27:04order. Get me in right now where the

27:06price is trading at now. Now, we're

27:07going to drag our stop loss to $50. And

27:11we're going to drag our takerit to $50.

27:15Let's see how this trade plays out.

27:17There we go. Our trade has just been

27:20closed. And this is a scenario where we

27:22had to take our loss because the price

27:24moved against us. And the first scenario

27:26is where we made a profit of $50 because

27:28the price moved in our favor. So, as you

27:30can see, both take-profit and stop-

27:32losses are essential to risk management.

27:34They help you control your risk and keep

27:35your trading consistent. Later in this

27:37master class, I'll show you where I put

27:39my stop losses and my targets based on

27:41market structure and price action. Okay,

| Risk Management

27:43now let's talk about risk management.

27:44This is one of the most important parts

27:46about trading because no matter how good

27:47your strategy is, losses are going to

27:49happen. It's just part of the game. One

27:50thing that I like to do is think of it

27:52like this. Losses should be small enough

27:54to consider fees or just think of them

27:56like business expenses. You want to

27:58manage your risk in a way that keeps you

27:59in the game so that you can stay

28:00profitable long term. That's what I'm

28:02about to teach you. So, proper risk

28:04management separates traders from those

28:05who last to those who lose all their

28:07money. Now, risk can vary depending on

28:09what market you're trading. Different

28:11instruments have different contract

28:12sizes, shares, ticks, lots, and levels

28:16of volatility. So, no matter what market

28:18you're in, the same risk principles

28:19apply. It is so important to know what

28:21you're willing to risk when you get into

28:23a trade. So, for example, if your

28:25position is too big, it could wipe out

28:26an entire small account. But if you're

28:28trading properly with proper risk

28:30management and proper position size, the

28:32loss should feel like just a fee, and it

28:33will allow you to live to trade another

28:35day. It won't hurt your account much.

28:36Every time you take a trade, your

28:38stop-loss should tell you exactly how

28:40much you're willing to risk. A common

28:41rule that most traders use is risking no

28:43more than 1 to 3% of your capital per

28:46trade. Would you lose more than 1 to 3%

28:48of your account? If the answer is yes,

28:50then you need to reduce your risk. This

28:52keeps your downside limited and gives

28:54you room to grow. When you combine a

28:55solid strategy with strong risk

28:57management, you're not just guessing

28:58anymore. You're trading with intention.

29:00And everything I'm about to show you

29:01next is built on this foundation. Let's

| Strategy

29:03talk about strategy. Having a strategy

29:05is one of the most important pieces of

29:06this process. A strategy gives you clear

29:08structure. It gives you entry criteria,

29:10exit criteria, and helps you stay

29:12emotionally regulated when you're in

29:14your trades. One of the biggest mistakes

29:16that I have seen in the entire trading

29:17industry is people who strategy hop,

29:20trying something new over and over and

29:22over again without giving it its due

29:23diligence, without trying to master the

29:25strategy. But the truth is, consistency

29:27comes from sticking to one thing long

29:29enough to get good at it. You're not

29:30going to believe this, but I have used

29:31the same core strategy for the last 10

29:34years. I built my process around a

29:36simple approach that I fully trust. It's

29:38clean, it's repeatable, and it helps me

29:40find consistency in the markets. You

29:42don't need to over complicate things.

29:43Simplicity is what brings confidence.

29:45When you actually understand what you're

29:47doing and why you're doing it, you feel

29:49like you're in control and you're not

29:50just guessing. For me, that includes

29:52trend lines. I'm a trend line trader. I

29:54use them to find clean, high probability

29:56setups based on price action and

29:57structure. That's the foundation of how

29:58I trade. And part of that structure

30:00comes down to time frames. Some

30:02strategies work better on higher time

30:03frames, while others work better for

30:04lower time frames. A lot of traders,

30:06including myself, have different

30:07strategies depending on what the market

30:09is doing and different time frames that

30:10they're looking at. That's normal. So,

30:12when I talk about strategy, I talk about

30:13having a complete plan. And this goes

30:15from spotting the setup, managing risk,

30:18knowing exactly when to get in and when

30:19to get out. In the next section, I'm

| The 3 Touch-point Trendline Break

30:21going to walk you guys through one of

30:22the exact strategies that I've used in

30:24the markets to help me generate half a

30:25million dollars in trading profits. Now,

30:27this isn't theory. This is something

30:29that I've used in real trades, real

30:30market conditions for over 10 years.

30:33It's simple, it's structured, and once

30:35you understand it, you'll be able to use

30:37it on any market in any time frame. If

30:39you've been looking for something solid

30:40that you can actually follow and build

30:42on, this is it. Let's dive in. So, now

30:44that you've seen how the three touch

30:46point trend line break works, let's

30:47break it down step by step. So, you've

30:49been able to identify how do you trade a

30:51three- touch point trend line break? But

30:52now, we need to see how do we find them?

30:54And that's by something called a

30:55top-down analysis. So, let's get into

30:57the charts and let me show you how it

30:58works. So, the concept of a top- down

31:00analysis is starting at a higher time

31:02frame, the top of the time frame, and

31:04then we continue to work our way down

31:05time frames. We're in the monthly time

31:07frame now. Same as all the other past

31:09examples that we've gone over before.

31:10We're in the monthly time frame. We're

31:12going to draw our trend lines just like

31:13we have in the past examples. We're

31:16going to the toolbox over here. We're

31:18going to select the ray tool. We're

31:20going to draw a downward trend line.

31:22We're looking for the highest point that

31:23we see on the screen for a downward

31:25trend line. We're going to try to

31:27capture as many touch points as possible

31:29without having price intersect. Now,

31:31this is a new concept. Before when we

31:33drew our trend lines, we just tried to

31:35capture as many touch points as

31:36possible. When doing our top down

31:38analysis, we want to make sure that we

31:39also capture as many touch points as

31:41possible, but without having price poke

31:43through or intersect. So, the reason

31:45that we don't want price to intersect is

31:46because we want to be able to utilize

31:48price action in real time. And this will

31:50start to make more sense as we continue

31:51this top down analysis. But we've drawn

31:53our first downward trend line. Nothing

31:54new. Let's continue to draw another

31:56trend line, which will be our upward

31:57trend line. Now, for our upward trend

31:59line, we're looking for the lowest point

32:00that we see on the screen here.

32:03We're trying to do the same concept as

32:05before. Capture as many touch points as

32:07possible, but without having the price

32:08intersect. So, at one point, this would

32:10have been a great line. We've got touch

32:12point, touch point, touch point. The

32:15reason this line is not valid is because

32:17price has already broken through. We

32:18want to be able to utilize the price

32:20where it's at right now. I'm going to

32:22change the color of this trend line to

32:23help us differentiate the bullish from

32:24bearish trend lines, the upward from

32:26downward trend lines. And another easy

32:28way to remember this is when drawing

32:29your trend lines doing this top down

32:31analysis, think of the lines as though

32:33they're holding the price up or holding

32:35the price down. So if at any point price

32:37is breaking through, it's incorrect. So

32:40making sure that all touch points are

32:42captured without breaking through the

32:43lines. So a rule of thumb when coming in

32:45with steeper trend lines, always utilize

32:47the most recent touch point as your new

32:49point A for the new trend line. Think of

32:51it like your previous point B will be

32:53your new point A.

32:55So, we're going back to the ray tool

32:56here.

32:58Previous point B or most recent touch

33:00point here will be our new point A. Same

33:03concept, trying to capture as many touch

33:05points as possible without having the

33:06price intersect. So, this wouldn't work.

33:09This wouldn't work. This is the only

33:11area where we can draw our steeper

33:12upward trend line. So, we have just done

33:14our first section of the top down

33:15analysis in our monthly time frame. Once

33:17we've drawn as many trend lines as we

33:19can on the monthly time frame and

33:20there's no other lines we can draw, that

33:22signifies that we can go from the

33:24monthly down to the weekly. So, we're

33:26going to continue this top down

33:27analysis. And something to note is that

33:29as you go down in time frame, we're

33:31getting more precise. We're looking at

33:33more information here. So, some of your

33:34lines will be slightly off. So, we just

33:36need to make some slight adjustments

33:37here to make sure they're a little bit

33:38more accurate. So, we've just gone from

33:40the monthly time frame to the weekly

33:41time frame. There are going to be many

33:43instances where you go from one time

33:45frame to the next and there's not going

33:46to be much of a difference. There's not

33:48going to be any additional lines that we

33:49need to draw. So your indication to move

33:51down a time frame is always if you

33:53cannot draw any steeper trend lines,

33:54then you'll continue down a time frame.

33:56So there isn't any change between the

33:57monthly and the weekly. So that just

33:59signifies that we need to continue

34:00working our way down. So we're in the

34:01weekly time frame. Let's move down to

34:03the daily time frame. And feel free to

34:05utilize this plus or minus button to

34:06help you zoom out or zoom in of the

34:08price. So, as we moved from the weekly

34:10time frame to the daily time frame, our

34:11lines are a little bit off. We need to

34:13make sure that we slightly adjust these

34:14to make sure they're a little bit more

34:15accurate. And we're just going to

34:17continue moving down time frames. So, if

34:18you're trading in the 5minut time frame

34:20or the 1 hour time frame, you'll

34:22continue this top down analysis. You'll

34:24do monthly, weekly, daily, 4 hour, 1

34:26hour. If you're a lower time frame

34:28trader, you'll do monthly, weekly,

34:30daily, 4 hour, 1 hour, 30 minute, 15

34:33minute, 5 minute, so on and so forth. So

34:35you'll just continue this process until

34:37you reach the time frame that you're

34:38trading in. So there's a steeper trend

34:40line that I can draw on the daily time

34:41frame. Previous point B or most recent

34:43touch point is going to be our new point

34:44A. Now for this line, we can't go very

34:47far. This is as far as we can go without

34:49having price intersect. But we need to

34:50draw lines like these so that we can

34:52continue to track price steeper and

34:53steeper. All right, we're in the daily

34:55time frame. Let's work our way down to

34:56the 4hour time frame. Now this time

34:58frame is where I personally stay. This

35:00is the time frame that I trade in. So

35:01when I do my top down analysis, I go

35:03from monthly, weekly, daily, and then I

35:05stop in the 4 hour. For anyone that's

35:06trading lower time frames, they'll

35:08continue this process and work their way

35:09down to their designated time frame. I'm

35:11going to slightly adjust my lines to

35:12make them a little bit more accurate.

35:14And then I can see some steeper trend

35:15lines that I can draw in the 4hour time

35:17frame. I'm going to use my most recent

35:18touch point as my new point A. Try to

35:20capture as many touch points as possible

35:22without having price intersect. So on

35:24the 4hour time frame, this is as many

35:25downward trend lines as I can draw. This

35:27is as far as I can go. But we can draw

35:29another upward trend line here. Go back

35:30to our toolbar to the ray tool. Most

35:32recent touch point is going to be your

35:34new point A or your starting point for

35:35the trend line. Try to capture as many

35:37touch points as possible without having

35:39price intersect. All right, there we go.

35:41This is as far as we can go in the 4hour

35:43time frame. So now I've just shown you

35:44how to find a three touch point trend

35:46line, but now we need to wait for the

35:47break. Let's watch price and see if we

35:49can get a break of this downward three

35:50touch point trend line. Okay, we have

35:52just been presented with a break of this

35:54downward three touch point trend line.

35:55We know that this signifies an entry.

35:57Now, before we get into our trade here,

35:59before we take our entry, I want to

36:00introduce a new concept called the

36:01safety line. This concept is the exact

36:04reason why I've been able to stay

36:05consistently profitable in the markets.

36:07It helps me manage my risk, keep it low.

36:09It helps me capitalize on profits, and

36:11tells me exactly when to close my trade.

36:13Now, let me show you how to draw this

36:14safety line. So, the concept of a

36:16steeper trend line is not new, but the

36:18way that we utilize this is so we're

36:19going to go to the toolbar over here to

36:21the left. Previous point B or most

36:22recent touch point is going to be point

36:24A. making sure you come in, capture as

36:26many touch points as possible without

36:27having the price intersect. But now the

36:29difference is this line is called our

36:31safety line. This line will keep our

36:33risk low. This will allow us to

36:35capitalize on profits and tell us

36:37exactly when to close this trade here.

36:39So now that we have drawn our safety

36:40line, we can enter our position here.

36:42We're going to hit the buy button to

36:43place our order. All right, we are now

36:45in our trade. Let's see how this trade

36:46plays out and see if it breaks our

36:48safety line. As you can see here, this

36:50price has moved aggressively in our

36:51favor, but we still haven't had a break

36:53of our safety line yet. All right, we

36:54have just made it to real time price

36:56action. This is where the price is

36:58trading at right now. So, the price

37:00hasn't broken our safety line yet. So,

37:01you're able to see what this trade

37:02management looks like, when to get into

37:04your trade. Now, let's go over some

37:05examples of when do we get out. So, we

37:07know if price breaks our safety line,

37:09that's our indication to close our

37:10trade. So, if the price comes down and

37:13breaks this safety line, this is our

37:14indication right here to close this

37:16trade. But let's go over a scenario if

37:18it doesn't. if the price comes down and

37:20actually respects our safety line,

37:22creating another touch point and then

37:23continues to move in our favor. So, this

37:25is our indication to stay in that trade.

37:27So, only until the price breaks our

37:29safety line do we need to close this

37:30position out. Now, let's go over another

37:32example. We're looking at crude oil on

37:34the 4hour time frame. Now, in this

37:36scenario, I've already done my top down

37:38analysis. As you can see here, I was

37:39able to spot a 1 2 3 touch point trend

37:43line. What we're missing is the break.

37:45So, let's continue to wait and see if we

37:46can get a break of this trend line.

37:47Okay, we were just presented with a

37:49break of this upward three touch point

37:51trend line. Now remember, before we get

37:52into this position, we need to draw

37:54something called the safety line here.

37:55Let's go back to the ray tool over here.

37:57Same concept. We're drawing our steeper

37:59trend lines. Most recent touch point or

38:01previous point B is new point A. And

38:02then we're going to try to capture as

38:04many touch points as possible without

38:05having price intersect. Now that we've

38:07drawn our safety line, it's time to

38:09enter our position. Now, let's see how

38:10this trade plays out and if it breaks

38:11our safety line. All right, as you can

38:13see here, we are in profit and price has

38:15still not broken our safety line yet.

38:17So, we continue to stay in this trade

38:18until price does. All right, we have

38:20finally been presented with a break of

38:22our safety line. It's time to close our

38:24trade and take our profits. Close

38:25position here. So, you can see we

38:27entered the price over here when we got

38:29the break of our three touch point trend

38:30line. We drew our safety line. We stayed

38:32in the trade until we got yet another

38:34break. Price broke our safety line,

38:36which indicated an exit. So, we've got a

38:38very clear entry and a very clear exit.

38:41So, there you have it. We've just gone

38:42over two examples of the three touch

38:44point trend line break. Now, let's talk

38:45about some other important factors that

| Backtesting and Forward Testing

38:47you need to know about trading. Now that

38:48you've seen how the three touch point

38:50trend line break strategy works, it's

38:51time to test it for yourself. That's

38:53where back testing and forward testing

38:55comes in. Back testing is essentially

38:56going back in time, just like we did in

38:58our second trade example, to see how the

39:00strategy performs on past data. And it

39:02allows you to see how many of your

39:03setups would have worked out. When

39:04you're learning a new strategy, back

39:06testing is one of the most important

39:07things that you can do. It gives you a

39:08chance to see how often these setups

39:10perform under different market

39:11conditions. Remember earlier in this

39:13video we analyzed trending markets,

39:15bullish, bearish, and consolidation.

39:17Back testing allows you to see how those

39:19setups perform in those different market

39:21conditions. It also helps you build

39:22confidence and understand what clean

39:24setups actually look like. Now, let's

39:25talk about forward testing. Forward

39:27testing is watching how your strategy

39:29performs in real time, similar to the

39:31first example that we went over. And

39:32this is usually done on a demo account

39:34where there's no risk involved. Later in

39:36the video, I'm going to show you an

39:37incredible platform that allows you to

39:38back test as well. But let's move on.

| Brokers

39:40Let's talk about brokers. What they are,

39:42what they do, and why you need them to

39:43trade. So, simply put, a broker is the

39:45middleman between you and the markets.

39:47They provide you with a trading platform

39:49and give you access to markets like

39:50futures, forex, stocks, and crypto. And

39:53they handle the execution of your

39:54trades. Without a broker, you can't

39:56place trades. They're the ones actually

39:57connecting your buy or sell orders to a

40:00larger exchange or network. Another

40:01thing that your broker does is allow you

40:03access to leverage. Leverage means that

40:05you can control larger positions with

40:07smaller amounts of money. For example,

40:0910 to one leverage means that you only

40:10need $1,000 to trade a $10,000 position

40:13size. But with leverage comes something

40:15called margin. Margin is the amount of

40:18money that you need in your account to

40:19hold a position. It's basically your

40:21collateral. If the market moves too much

40:23against you and you don't have enough

40:24capital in your account, the brokerage

40:26can close your position for you. That's

40:28called a margin call. You don't want

40:29that. So, while leverage can help you

40:31grow faster, it can also increase your

40:32risk. That's why it is always important

40:34to have proper risk management in place,

40:36which is something we've already covered

40:37earlier. Understanding how brokers work

40:39is a key piece of the puzzle if you're

40:41serious about trading. Now, I use a

40:43broker called Trade Station. It is a

40:45regulated broker in the US that offers

40:47equities or stocks and futures, which is

40:50what I trade. If you're interested in

40:52joining Tradation as well, the link will

40:53be in the description below. So, now

| Demo Trading

40:54that you know how brokers work and what

40:56actually goes on behind the scenes, it's

40:58time to actually place trades without

40:59risking any real money. This is one of

41:01the most important phases when learning

41:03any strategy. It's where you take

41:04everything that we've gone over and put

41:06it into action in a risk-free

41:07environment. So, now let's talk about

41:09demo trading. Demo trading is where you

41:11can trade the live markets, but using

41:13simulated capital, so you're still

41:14seeing real market movements in real

41:16time. The only thing that isn't real is

41:18the money, which means you can practice

41:20without the risk. This is one of the

41:21most valuable tools when learning a new

41:23strategy like you are now. It lets you

41:25build confidence, test your execution,

41:27and get used to how your trading

41:28platform works, all while making

41:29mistakes that won't cost you anything.

41:31You'll start to get a feel for how the

41:32market moves, timing, and your own

41:34decision-making process. And a side note

41:36here, when setting up your demo account,

41:38use the amount of money you would

41:39actually invest in a live account. You

41:41don't want to set your account to

41:42millions of dollars and start investing

41:43in huge positions that you wouldn't

41:45actually be trading. Treat this like

41:46it's your real capital. That way, when

41:48you actually make the transition to live

41:50trading, your habits and expectations

41:51will be in check. Now, once you start

| Journaling

41:53placing trades, whether that's live or

41:55demo, there is one thing that's going to

41:57make a massive difference in your

41:58trading, and that's journaling.

42:00Journaling is where you track your

42:01trades, your decision-making, and your

42:03feelings throughout the entire trading

42:05process. So, this isn't just about

42:06recording wins or losses. It's not

42:08focusing on the dollar amount. It's

42:10working on the process. It's about

42:11becoming more self-aware and intentional

42:13about your trading. For me, journaling

42:15was a huge pivot point in my trading

42:16career. It allowed me to visually see

42:18what I was doing right, what I was doing

42:20wrong, and double down on the things

42:22that were working, and to stop making

42:23the same mistakes over and over again.

42:25And I use Tradzella for all of this. Let

42:27me pull it up and walk you through some

42:28of the most powerful tools within this

42:30program. So, here is the Tradesella

42:31platform. This visually shows me what

42:34I'm doing right, what I'm doing wrong,

42:35and allows me to track all of my stats

42:37here. I can see my win percentage, my

42:39average win to loss, my profit factor,

42:41and then I can even go into each

42:43individual trade and see what went right

42:45and what went wrong. Another tool you

42:46can use is the playbook feature here.

42:48This allows you to test different

42:50strategies like the one we've gone over

42:51here, the three touch point trend line

42:53break. Test it, see if it works. We've

42:55got something called a trend line

42:56bounce, a break and retest, a two touch

42:58point trend line break. This is also a

42:59place where you can do back testing like

43:01what we went over earlier. If you're

43:02interested in using Tradzilla as a

43:04journaling tool, use code Tory 10 for

43:0610% off of the monthly subscription or

43:08Tory 20 for 20% off of the yearly

43:10subscription. All right. Once you've

43:11been journaling, testing, and building

43:13real confidence in your strategy, the

43:15next step is what everyone looks forward

| Going Live

43:16to, going live. This has been the moment

43:18that everything has been leading to.

43:20You've learned the strategy, you've back

43:22tested, you've forward tested on demo,

43:24you've journaled, you've put in the

43:25work. But before you enter your first

43:27trade, [music] there are a few things

43:28that you need to understand. You only go

43:30live when you have the data to back up

43:32your decision. You need to know that

43:33your strategy works, and you need to

43:34have the confidence knowing that you

43:36have the ability to execute it. So, what

43:37does that mean to have the data to back

43:39up your decision? Something like

43:40journaling allows you to track [music]

43:42your performance and see hard numbers to

43:44show you profitability and consistency.

43:46And that confidence comes from

43:47preparation, [music]

43:48not guesswork. Second, you need to trade

43:50with money that you can afford to lose.

43:52I cannot stress this enough. [music] If

43:54you are trading your rent money or your

43:55savings, you are not trading. You are

43:57actually gambling. That kind of pressure

43:59will wreck your decision-making. So,

44:00start small, grow slow. The markets are

44:03not going to go anywhere. There are

44:04always opportunities. Next, know that

44:06going live is very different from

44:08[music] trading demo. Your emotions hit

44:1010 times harder when you're going live

44:12versus demo. That's why demo trades feel

44:14like they are perfectly executed,

44:15[music] then fall apart when going live.

44:17So, expect that shift and give yourself

44:19time to adjust. It's all part of the

44:20process. Fourth, don't rely on trading

44:22as your only source of income from the

44:24start. Having another source of income

44:25allows breathing room and helps you

44:27avoid forcing trades [music] just trying

44:28to make money. You want to be able to

44:30enter your positions with clarity, not

44:32desperation. And finally, and most

44:34importantly, do not rush this [music]

44:36process. Sustainable trading takes time.

44:38Every profitable trader that you look up

44:40to has gone through months, if not

44:42years, [music] of learning and refining

44:44before everything clicked, including

44:45myself. Let this be something that you

44:47build for life, [music] not a quick hit.

44:49Now, it's on you. Put this into

44:50practice. Stay disciplined. And

44:52remember, trading does not need to be

44:54complicated. If you show up every single

44:56day with consistency and follow what

44:58we've gone over in this master class,

45:00you can see [music] success in trading.

45:01Now, you have everything you need to get

45:03started. If you're looking for a more

45:04advanced approach and learn directly

45:06from me, [music] a trader who has been

45:07able to generate over half a million
