let's talk about how I use ticker symbol
[2]
s py as a day trader and hope I can
[5]
offer you up a little kind of tips and
[7]
tricks to not necessarily make
[9]
everything a guaranteed trade because
[10]
that doesn't exist but just to make life
[12]
a little easier as a trader and to help
[15]
give you a little reference point and a
[16]
little edge that can allow you to you
[19]
know just stay in trades longer stay in
[21]
trades without freaking out I mean if
[23]
for anything like I was when I was first
[25]
getting started in a beginner day trader
[26]
I would freak out pretty easily and I
[29]
would get scared out of trades and then
[31]
things would go on my favour and it was
[33]
a very frustrating experience I mean if
[35]
you can relate to any of that you're not
[36]
alone all traders have been there and I
[39]
don't quite know if that ever goes away
[40]
but like I said I want to show you how
[42]
to use s py to assist with this now
[45]
couple things before I go any further
[46]
first off I'm gonna spend some time to
[48]
talk more talking in theory but then I'm
[51]
also gonna show you exactly what I'm
[52]
talking about
[53]
with an actual trade from my personal
[55]
trade and results that way you know that
[57]
you know what I'm talking about here
[58]
it's just not my well I think this is
[61]
how it's supposed to work now you're
[61]
gonna see exactly how things can play
[63]
out also as a reference point this is
[66]
I've talked about this before in other
[67]
videos but I wanted to put a little spin
[69]
on it here with kind of another analogy
[71]
but if you're curious about you know how
[73]
this works in another video then I'll
[75]
put a link down below and in that
[76]
analogy I use kind of wind as an example
[79]
but in this I want to go another route
[80]
because like I realized we all kind of
[82]
have different visuals so maybe this
[84]
visual will help work better for you or
[86]
just maybe drive home the fact so again
[89]
what we care about what is very helpful
[91]
is a ticker symbol SP y if you're not
[94]
familiar with that that's just an ETF
[96]
that basically says what's the market
[98]
doing right that encapsulates everything
[99]
so without getting too far down in the
[102]
weeds just understand that SP Y is an
[105]
ETF and it's an ETF that's just judging
[107]
the entire S&P 500 which again is just
[109]
the markets right so if you're gonna go
[111]
and want to tell your friends how the
[113]
markets did today you could us use SP Y
[116]
as that reference point so the way SP Y
[118]
works is within two branches right you
[121]
have of a trade
[122]
you could go long or you could go short
[128]
now for those of you that are brand new
[131]
just getting started going short me
[133]
it doesn't mean well you only hold for
[135]
like two minutes it means that you make
[137]
money when prices go down super bizarre
[139]
concept mind-blowing the first time you
[141]
hear it but yes believe it or not in the
[144]
world of trading you can make money when
[146]
prices go down and that's what shorting
[148]
represents so now how does the SPI work
[150]
in the sense of going long well that way
[154]
I like envision it is this we have a
[159]
nice little balloon the balloon here
[161]
being s py and what is a 10 I'm gonna
[167]
try not to nerd out here with my physics
[169]
but before share is what I would have
[171]
balloons do if you let go of a balloon
[172]
what happens to it and then your kids
[176]
start crying because they lost our
[177]
balloon it's a disaster it's alright
[178]
so the pointer beam the force of a
[180]
balloon is upward joint it floats higher
[182]
and the way you can envision this is
[184]
down here attached to the bottom part of
[187]
that balloon you have some sort of
[189]
ticker
[190]
that could be Apple that could be Tesla
[192]
that could be Boeing that could be
[193]
Facebook it could be coca-cola but some
[196]
sort of company out there I want you to
[197]
envision it as a ticker and one of the
[199]
general markets are rising when the
[202]
pressure of the markets when the force
[204]
of the market whatever sort of
[205]
terminology you want to use is going up
[206]
like a balloon just to understand that
[208]
that's gonna help pull up everything
[211]
including tickers now it's not
[213]
guaranteed to happen so I should have
[214]
prized note of this I'm not saying this
[215]
is a guaranteed strategy Blake said just
[217]
little things to help give you peace of
[219]
mind to help give you little edges but
[221]
if the market as a whole are floating up
[223]
like a balloon then you know what it's
[226]
going to help provide whatever ticker
[228]
you're trading some additional support
[230]
to the upside now let's talk about the
[231]
other side of things to the downside so
[233]
in this situation I want you to focus
[235]
this as the good old ball-and-chain
[243]
right so what is the ball SBY and if you
[248]
have a ball and chain what is that doing
[250]
to you well from a forest perspective
[252]
and let's look like this let's say you
[254]
have a ball and chain around your ankle
[257]
in water and you're trying to swim what
[259]
pressure is that exerting on you well
[260]
that is definitely a pressure that is
[263]
forcing you down that is pressuring you
[265]
down any sort of variation of
[267]
terminology my dear poor pushing down so
[270]
same concept here not over here you have
[272]
some sort of ticker symbol and this is
[276]
the scenario that you're gonna see here
[277]
in just a second that really takes place
[279]
so what I'm gonna do here is actually a
[280]
sign not just threw out some random
[282]
thing but actually telling you that this
[283]
was ticker symbol be a Boeing so what
[287]
you're gonna see in just a second is me
[289]
taking a trade and to use terminology
[291]
going short on Boeing again if you're
[294]
new that means that I think Boeing's
[296]
price is gonna go down I want to see
[298]
Boeing's price go down because that
[299]
means as a short I'm making money so
[302]
that's the premise of the trade going in
[303]
and that is what I believe is going to
[307]
happen and you're gonna see that things
[310]
you not want to spoil it but things
[311]
don't quite go as smoothly as possible
[314]
but to not necessarily Pat myself in the
[316]
back but the one thing I did do right is
[318]
I understood the concept that your
[320]
Boeing wasn't necessarily behaving in
[322]
the way that I wanted it to behave but I
[324]
knew that there is no ball and chain of
[327]
svy attached to its ankle and trying to
[330]
drag it down try it and drag it down
[331]
Boeing sitting there trying to swim
[333]
trying to swim and it was doing a good
[334]
job for a while of swimming but
[336]
eventually like I said it's a little
[339]
spoiler alert the ball and chain was
[341]
just too much so let's get it let's get
[344]
out of the chalkboard out of the world
[345]
of theory and let me show you exactly
[347]
what I mean
[347]
what I'm gonna do here is get short at
[350]
195 oh nine cuz I think this thing there
[352]
we go you might want to pull back some
[360]
so I got a little bit of a move in my
[363]
favorite well now I want to get this
[364]
thing a little bit of room to wiggle
[365]
around
[372]
so I'm not the greatest candle that
[374]
currently formed but like I said you got
[376]
to give these things a little bit uh a
[378]
little bit of wiggle room here so let's
[383]
see if it wants to get back below 195
[392]
well it was a pretty quick turnaround
[405]
but not looking so good right now if it
[411]
does come back down to 195 I will be
[413]
potentially looking to add to the
[416]
position because that would imply this
[417]
bounce here was just a pretty much a
[420]
failed bounce which is good so watching
[423]
195 like I said again potentially
[426]
looking to add so added 50 shares more
[428]
so now I have 150 average of 195 11 so
[436]
let's see if this thing can work its way
[438]
back down below the 195 mark mm-hmm
[445]
excuse me
[454]
well this goes up over 196 75 I'm gonna
[463]
have to take the loss error because now
[467]
all of a sudden it is bouncing so this
[477]
one very well might might it might have
[478]
fooled me here
[486]
but perhaps not
[495]
what's the nice candle there that's
[496]
forming wow so much so that I might look
[503]
to add another a lot men down if it
[505]
looks so like it wants to finally break
[507]
down through 195 that's a very nice
[511]
candle I'm not out of the woods yet
[513]
still work that needs to be done but
[523]
some interesting action here taking
[525]
place for sure like I said if it looks
[531]
like it wants to roll back down there
[532]
through 195 would probably be interested
[537]
and adding again to the position so I
[542]
did just add now I have 300 chairs so
[549]
let's see if this thing can finally get
[551]
down through 195 a lot of weakness here
[553]
if it goes through 195 it shouldn't move
[555]
pretty big
[566]
I'm not feeling very good about it
[568]
though because right now the markets are
[570]
moving down and here Boeing is just kind
[572]
of chopping sideways so at this point
[579]
not feeling very hopeful and markets are
[586]
pulling back nice and then here Boeing
[587]
is just being stubborn and going
[589]
sideways
[602]
can you get down through 195 when we're
[605]
at 190 foot now we were and it held very
[609]
very strong I mean if it fails now yeah
[616]
this is not good
[617]
markets are pulling back and Boeing is
[620]
basically going sideways here so now if
[623]
the markets bounce at all this is not
[626]
going to turn out well so I am not
[630]
feeling very good about this trade right
[633]
now Yelp markets are at Lowe's and here
[635]
Boeing is just going sideways
[651]
come on bowling you're supposed to be
[653]
following the market here well
[664]
and yet now the markets are bouncing
[666]
here a little bit and up goes Boeing so
[672]
I'm fully planning on taking a loss here
[674]
now what a shame what a shame
[711]
well teasing me like it wants to go back
[714]
down but at this point I just don't
[719]
believe it
[722]
the markets are just I mean like I said
[724]
moving to lows and bowling is just
[726]
simply going sideways so all it takes is
[729]
for like I said just a little bit of a
[731]
bounce in the markets
[741]
sorry Boeing I don't believe you
[743]
I want to believe you but and I want to
[746]
be wrong here I want to be wrong hey I
[749]
am wrong let's see if we didn't last
[751]
very long but let's give it another try
[753]
so broke down through there but then
[756]
that fast bounced right back up
[769]
can it actually get more there we go
[771]
alright alright well I'll go with 100
[779]
chairs now put my stop at 195 oh one so
[788]
alright well it's gonna be a winning
[789]
trade not just a question of how big of
[791]
a winning trade is it actually gonna be
[792]
so now I'm just moving my stop-loss down
[795]
and this is a good spot to be in where
[797]
you just have no idea how big a stop or
[799]
how big a win is gonna be because again
[803]
I have no idea how far down this is
[804]
going to go and that's a great spot to
[806]
be in if this breaks down below 194 I'll
[811]
adjust my stop again but not until then
[815]
so can we get a break down below 194
[825]
so all out therefore $143 trade took
[829]
some patience took some persistence but
[831]
you can see right here bowing the market
[834]
was just too much the markets was like
[837]
an anchor just so notice the markets
[840]
were pulling back as I was saying and
[842]
then I was you know common abilities the
[844]
markets are pulling back and Boeing is
[845]
just sitting here sitting here going
[847]
sideways but the markets kept going down
[849]
and like any anchor no matter how strong
[852]
an individual stock actually is
[853]
eventually it's just not gonna be able
[856]
to keep up anymore it's gonna run out of
[857]
energy it's kind of like if you envision
[859]
a swimmer and they have a ball and chain
[862]
tied to their leg yeah they can tread
[864]
water for a little bit they can tread
[865]
water for a little bit but eventually if
[867]
that ball and chain keeps getting
[868]
heavier and heavier or in other words if
[870]
the markets keep on dropping further and
[872]
further
[873]
eventually that swimmer is just they're
[875]
not gonna be able to take it anymore and
[876]
they're gonna get dragged down - pretty
[878]
crazy huh I mean it was it was a
[879]
frustrating experience Boeing was just
[881]
going sideways sideways sideways I mean
[884]
it was really trying to fight off fight
[886]
off fight off and swim and swim going
[889]
sideways but eventually the ball and
[892]
chain with that downwards force caught
[894]
up to it and you saw that boy just
[896]
cannot tread that water any longer and
[898]
from that point and finally went down
[900]
which allowed me to make a nice little
[902]
gain on it but had I not been keeping
[906]
the tent there you know keeping my focus
[907]
on spy had I not even realized about
[909]
this principle I could have I mean you
[911]
heard me multiple times saying oh this
[912]
is not good oh this is not good I mean I
[915]
was pretty much wrong I thought I was
[916]
gonna get stopped out but the reason why
[918]
you and a good question being with clay
[920]
if you thought you were gonna get
[921]
stopped out why wouldn't you just have
[923]
gotten out at that point because of this
[925]
because the spy was going down it was
[929]
just a matter of time before that ball
[930]
and chain finally overcame you know the
[933]
strength that bond was showing so that's
[935]
why I didn't get help and that's why you
[936]
don't want to get too freaked out just
[938]
because something's maybe not operating
[940]
exactly as it should I mean it's not
[941]
like bone was exploding upwards in that
[943]
situation yeah you got to get out it
[945]
just simply wasn't dropping as soon as I
[947]
thought it would but it's you know was
[949]
still just treading water with the ball
[951]
and chain ultimately won out and I was
[952]
able to make some money
[953]
so hopefully this little tip can help
[955]
you out but I would highly recommend you
[957]
get the SP why
[959]
you know I would say use the five-minute
[961]
time frame on it so 5 min sby very
[964]
helpful indicator very helpful a little
[967]
kind of side thing you can have to just

consider using spui and understand that
[1014]
the Sui does exert these forces on
[1016]
whatever ticker symbol you may be
[1017]
trading first off thanks so much for
[1019]
watching the entire video real quick
[1021]
before you go I want to invite you to a
[1023]
live webinar web class training workshop
[1025]
online event whatever you want to call
[1027]
it but it will be me live revealing to
[1030]
you what I discovered that has allowed
[1032]
me to transform myself from being an
[1034]
employee to being my own boss
[1036]
including how I had only one losing day
[1039]
out of 73 days in total I'm going to
[1042]
cover three keys that have helped me
[1044]
unlock profitable consistency within the
[1046]
markets the first key is super-weird but
[1049]
in a productive type of way the second
[1051]
key is super awesome because it quite
[1053]
literally is wired into our DNA as
[1055]
humans making it very easy to use but in
[1058]
a cruel way this becomes a pitfall for
[1060]
many traders I'll explain it all though
[1062]
including how to avoid the pitfall that
[1064]
it creates for some and yeah the third
[1066]
key when you hear it sounds way to get
[1069]
way too good to be true but it's not and
[1071]
I'll show you how it all works then at
[1073]
the end I open it up for a
[1075]
question-and-answer session that is
[1076]
again totally live even if you can't
[1079]
make the live session please still sign
[1081]
up as it will be recorded and you can go
[1083]
back and watch the replay then I will
[1085]
send you click the image on the screen
[1087]
or click the link down in the
[1088]
description box so you can get the date
[1090]
and
[1091]
and claim your spot which I should know
[1093]
is limited due to the fact that this
[1095]
truly is a live event if you have any
[1097]
questions let me know if not I'll be
[1100]
seeing you soon
