hey it's clay at claytrader.com this be
[2]
a live trade video where i try to
[3]
capture some of my trades as they play
[5]
out live
[6]
real quick if you're new to these videos
[7]
what do i mean by live well this is a
[8]
situation where i have not recorded
[10]
everything and now i'm coming back and
[11]
doing a trade recap or some sort of post
[13]
commentary
[14]
nothing like that i'm recording myself
[16]
seeing the information for the very
[17]
first time
[18]
so if you want raw thoughts raw emotions
[20]
raw reactions you will get that here but
[22]
the honey your time if you're looking
[23]
for a nicely edited video nicely
[25]
scripted video
[26]
you're not going to get that here but if
[27]
you just want a nitty gritty look into
[29]
what it's like to be a day trader how
[30]
day trading can play out
[31]
uh then you will get that here market's
[33]
been open over two hours but we have a
[36]
special event
[37]
and that event being that we have a
[39]
pretty big ipo today well technically i
[40]
think it's like a direct offering so not
[42]
technically an ipo but
[44]
coinbase maybe you've heard of it
[45]
especially if you're in the crypto world
[47]
is going live today and a lot of people
[49]
talking about it
[50]
so i'm thinking that it's going to have
[52]
quite a bit of volatility
[54]
and as traders that's what we want the
[56]
problem is when
[57]
when is this thing gonna actually open
[59]
up and just been waiting and watching
[62]
and figured you know what why don't i
[63]
just get a video going and
[65]
it's either gonna kind of be go big or
[67]
go home what do i mean by that well i
[69]
am prepared i am willing to take on a
[71]
little bit more risk
[72]
so if i do lose on the trade then yeah
[74]
it's going to be a larger
[76]
loss than what i would normally take
[78]
however
[79]
i believe that the odds are in my favor
[81]
that i'm going to be able to put
[82]
together a winning trade
[84]
so and that's very important because if
[85]
i was sitting here saying you know
[87]
it's like a i don't know it's like a 50
[88]
50 guess but i'm going to take on more
[90]
risk
[91]
okay that's a total gamble and that's
[92]
really bad to take on more risk for
[94]
something that you're like yeah 50 50.
[96]
but i feel although it's way more than
[98]
50 50 in my favor
[100]
now that doesn't mean that anything's
[101]
guaranteed but that is why i
[103]
am willing to take on more risk because
[105]
i i like the odds
[106]
that i can put together a good solid
[108]
trade on this one uh but that all
[110]
remains to be seen
[111]
maybe i will end up taking a loss
[112]
because again this truly is live so i
[114]
don't know what's coming next
[115]
including i don't know when this stupid
[116]
thing is going to open up uh and i am
[118]
getting a little frustrated maybe a good
[120]
thing
[120]
because it i don't know where my mind
[122]
was at but it kind of like wait clay why
[123]
don't you just make a live trade of it
[125]
that that'd be a good live trend i feel
[126]
like a lot of people would want to see
[127]
uh
[128]
the coinbase trade if you make a trade
[130]
on it so i suppose that's a good thing
[131]
that it maybe it was delayed a little
[133]
bit because it
[134]
it gave my uh cobweb filled light bulb a
[136]
second to go on and say hey hey
[138]
clay you like to make youtube videos why
[140]
don't you do one here so
[142]
a little bit more so that's the context
[144]
i am willing to take on some
[145]
some bigger risk here um so i'm looking
[149]
for a nice
[150]
win or of course you know it might not
[152]
be uh
[153]
it's not going to be a small little loss
[154]
either but like i said uh i am prepared
[157]
to take it when i say prepare it i mean
[158]
that it's not like if i take the loss
[160]
that i could potentially take then
[161]
that's gonna wipe away like
[162]
months of gains or weeks of gains or
[164]
anything like that well could it wipe by
[165]
a few days worth yeah
[166]
it could very well wipe away a few days
[168]
worth but it's just gonna like destroy
[170]
my account if i take a loss no but again
[172]
i like the odds that i can put together
[174]
a winning trade and then as far as ways
[176]
i mean just a very
[178]
lackluster very kind of choppy day i
[180]
haven't really been able to put anything
[182]
together
[182]
i've had some uh just like i said you
[184]
can see the results right now so as of
[186]
now i'm going in 38 dollars but
[188]
that really doesn't matter even if i was
[189]
down 38 it's not gonna matter because
[192]
coin base is either gonna like you said
[193]
uh i think turn out to be a a good solid
[196]
trade or it's gonna be a bigger loss
[198]
but that'll remain to be seen it's just
[200]
a matter of when is this thing going to
[201]
open up
[202]
so i'll keep an eye on it and i'm just
[203]
going to go ahead and pause for now and
[204]
i'll be back as soon as i can after it
[206]
opens up because like i said it is going
[207]
to be totally random but we'll see what
[209]
happens
[210]
all right i'm feeling like maybe it's
[211]
getting ready to open up i'm watching
[212]
these numbers here and they're starting
[214]
to really change
[214]
more and more rapidly now uh this is
[217]
what's known as the level twos
[218]
uh if it depends on how much of a
[220]
beginner you are and then this over here
[222]
is where the technical chart will start
[223]
to populate
[224]
uh but because it hasn't officially
[226]
opened that's why that's all blank and
[228]
then the level twos but like i said
[229]
those numbers are starting to change a
[230]
little bit more
[232]
so i'm gonna let this play out here for
[234]
uh several seconds here and maybe i can
[235]
actually capture the
[237]
the official start
[240]
of coinbase here but i it is still a
[244]
total guess
[245]
i think it's a rational guess based on
[246]
how those numbers are acting but that
[247]
doesn't mean that it's gonna it's good
[248]
that it is gonna open up
[256]
and nothing all right well
[259]
thought maybe i'd be clever and be able
[261]
to capture it but yeah nothing there so
[262]
i'm gonna go ahead and pause
[264]
quick update it's now going on 1 p.m
[267]
eastern time actually just got
[268]
got done doing a little bit of a 30
[270]
minute workout i just couldn't take it
[272]
anymore standing around standing around
[273]
and i say standard on because i do use a
[275]
standing desk but
[276]
just waiting around waiting around
[279]
standing around and saying you know i'm
[280]
done i'm going to go do something
[282]
and my risk was maybe i'll miss the open
[284]
but hey i got back
[285]
and it still has not opened uh the price
[288]
has i can't remember the last time i
[290]
think it was down in the 360s when i was
[291]
recording that last now this price has
[293]
crept
[293]
its way all the way up to 378
[296]
uh so the the price keeps on getting
[298]
more and more expensive
[300]
uh so and that's the tricky part with
[301]
these is not only do you not know when
[303]
they're gonna start the trade but you
[304]
also don't know for what amount
[305]
but it is what it is so i'll go ahead
[307]
and pause but wanted to throw out a
[308]
quick update all right we are
[311]
in business
[314]
and this thing is absolutely
[318]
not even quite sure i gotta you gotta
[320]
let the level two sir settle out
[321]
literally i'm pretty excited
[323]
caught it within five seconds of opening
[325]
so this thing is
[328]
quite goofy right now
[336]
so at this point kind of just got a
[341]
yeah 394.
[344]
so 394 is broken do i think can go up to
[347]
400 as sort of the question
[353]
in there at 394.
[365]
can it get up through 3.94 though that
[366]
is the question right now
[375]
and look at all those sellers at 394.
[382]
look at all that it's crazy
[387]
there we go
[395]
all right i took some off just because
[397]
it did not and i'm glad i did look at
[399]
that
[400]
yep there was something definitely
[401]
strange there with the way that broke
[403]
and then
[408]
didn't really behave the way i thought
[410]
it would
[414]
so still have 50 shares let's see if
[416]
this thing wants to give it another go
[429]
so all out there two hundred dollars so
[431]
i guess
[432]
okay but this is very very goofy
[439]
extremely goofy i mean i'm glad i
[441]
captured it on video and we still may
[443]
get 400
[444]
which looks like we will but um i mean i
[446]
don't think i really need to explain the
[447]
goofiness you
[448]
you've seen it how it's been trading
[453]
and i realize in hindsight oh yeah and
[455]
i'm still not done with it
[456]
i'd like to see it pull back it's not
[459]
really going to break 400 on its first
[460]
try is it
[461]
because that would be crazy it is
[464]
no it didn't i take that back well it
[466]
broke it by one penny how crazy is that
[471]
wow all right just like that well i
[473]
never i never thought it would
[476]
make that easy of a move up through 400
[477]
i thought for sure
[479]
come up here consolidate out and then
[481]
i'd be looking for another break of 400
[482]
but i mean to buy it 400
[484]
when the thing had basically went
[485]
straight up yeah that's just uh
[489]
that's just pretty crazy so i made 200
[491]
on the trade um
[494]
but i i have no problem admitting that
[496]
one this one is
[499]
definitely trading bizarre but what i am
[502]
interested in
[504]
let me get this
[514]
so we'll look to try to play a potential
[516]
pullback here
[522]
right now 396 being that first area
[524]
where i would be interested for a
[525]
pullback
[529]
so got a ways to go for that but
[536]
yeah as of now this thing has basically
[537]
just gone straight up
[541]
there we go all right let's see what did
[543]
i say 396 yeah
[546]
396.
[548]
just double checking so only 50 shares
[552]
i mean oh and there it goes even more
[559]
well in hindsight i should shoulda
[561]
coulda woulda right just held held held
[566]
but that's that's that's hindsight for
[574]
you
[584]
all right well i think at this point i'm
[585]
gonna go ahead and just
[587]
pause i'm still interested but like you
[589]
just can't buy right now that's way too
[591]
much chasing
[592]
i want to wait for some sort of pullback
[594]
here
[600]
so at this point like i said just a
[602]
watch and waiting game
[603]
and it's kind of fun though to just
[606]
watch
[606]
watch it go
[610]
and and the crazy part is is this was
[612]
originally quoted to start at 250
[615]
so i mean it opened up well above 250
[618]
and yet
[618]
still going so it looking like the
[620]
market just didn't care
[635]
all right well i will go ahead and pause
[636]
for now 4 15 though does look like some
[639]
sort of
[640]
nope see i can't read it i was just
[642]
going to say i'll finish the sentence
[644]
i was going to say 4 15 looks like some
[645]
sort of top uh and then as i'm saying
[648]
that it just exploded up like another
[649]
four dollars
[650]
um so this is just crazy you know ipos
[654]
you know do they usually go straight up
[656]
like this no absolutely not
[658]
and this thing is literally going
[659]
straight up it has not had a red candle
[661]
yet
[666]
so yeah back to just uh waiting for the
[668]
pullback i'll go ahead and pause
[670]
have an order at 411 here
[674]
see if this thing can pull back a bit
[686]
more
[688]
with the way that it's hesitating i'm
[690]
going to go down to actually 405
[691]
now
[697]
just 50 shares i'd like more than 50.
[705]
so get more of a pullback here n
[710]
50 shares at 405.
[730]
408 though being stubborn so i'm gonna
[732]
get out there
[734]
take another hundred bucks on it
[739]
level twos are starting to calm down but
[741]
i have no
[742]
problem admitting they're still a little
[744]
i'm i'm still not
[745]
by any means comfortable but i was
[747]
comfortable with the chart
[749]
and uh that think about it that's why
[750]
just don't chase
[752]
don't chase don't chase as of right now
[754]
let's think about things
[755]
there are people that bought up around
[757]
here
[758]
how are those people feeling right now
[761]
and again those people might have bought
[762]
right there
[763]
and chased and it worked out bought
[765]
right there chased it worked out
[766]
bought right there chase worked out and
[768]
i'm like well it's worked all these
[769]
other times
[769]
i've sat through a couple little
[770]
pullbacks and it's been fine so you know
[772]
what i'm gonna buy again right there
[774]
and now look at it all those gains gone
[777]
to be fair if they're still just holding
[779]
and hoping holding and hoping
[780]
i suppose this thing could ultimately
[782]
return itself all the way around
[783]
but that's just not a viable strategy
[785]
right if you're willing to sit through
[787]
this
[787]
massive of moves to hope that it'll go
[790]
back up
[791]
but there is no doubt in my mind right
[793]
now that there is a bunch of people
[794]
that have just been slaughtered that are
[796]
being slaughtered
[798]
and i you know like i said they bought
[800]
right there a chase they bought right
[802]
there a chase they bought right there a
[803]
chase they bought right there chase and
[804]
then they were buying up around this
[805]
area
[806]
and each time that each time each of
[808]
these buys think about it the price did
[809]
pull back
[810]
but you know strong hands you know
[812]
diamond hands right diamond hands well
[814]
the people that just bought right there
[816]
and their diamond hands well so far from
[819]
a training perspective that is it's just
[820]
getting worse and worse
[825]
does it really want to come all the way
[826]
down to basically 381 that's the next
[828]
question
[829]
381 could i play another bounce off of
[831]
there but yeah up 300
[833]
on it i mean so again did i walk did i
[836]
go into this thinking i'd i'd be making
[838]
up more yeah
[839]
i did i'm not gonna try to play that off
[842]
however
[842]
i'm also not going to play it office i i
[844]
never imagined
[846]
it would have behaved like that just
[848]
straight up the one thing i did get
[850]
right though is at least i waited for
[851]
the pullback got in at a good spot
[853]
and although never quite hit where i was
[855]
originally wanting 410
[857]
uh to give myself credit i did recognize
[858]
that there's something not quite right
[860]
so i just got out at 407 instead
[862]
um and again who knows this is
[866]
craziness maybe this thing is about to
[868]
go straight right back up and then all
[869]
those people
[870]
that bought a pair you know their their
[872]
sweaty palms will be just fine and
[874]
they'll they'll walk away with a break
[875]
even trader actually make money but as
[876]
of right now as
[878]
i speak ask yourself i'm who knows maybe
[880]
you're one of those people
[882]
you bought up around there i mean that
[884]
that's there are some people here that
[886]
are just getting slaughtered
[887]
uh so i'll go ahead and policy if
[888]
there's another trade that comes about
[890]
from it
[891]
watching 400 here just 25 shares uh just
[894]
because like i said i have no problem
[895]
admitting this one is getting pretty
[901]
pretty interesting but yeah if it can
[903]
break up through 400
[907]
it does look like a very interesting
[910]
scenario but i also have to question am
[912]
i am i just trading now for youtube's
[914]
sake
[915]
maybe but i guess if i am that's why at
[918]
least i i'm acknowledging that somewhere
[920]
in my subconscious with only 25 shares
[923]
but i mean this is a i mean that's a
[925]
good-looking setup right there so it's
[926]
not like i'm just
[927]
somehow randomly throwing in a trade
[931]
but at this point it's once again
[932]
pulling back again so i'll go ahead and
[934]
pause
[935]
and right here good example of why you
[936]
want to wait for confirmation because
[938]
that thing just totally rolled back over
[939]
so again you gotta wonder
[941]
what are these people thinking even now
[943]
i mean the price has gone down
[945]
even lower so i'll let this play out a
[948]
little bit more but probably wrap it up
[949]
soon but
[950]
i'm not gonna quite wrap it up yet let's
[952]
just see what else plays out
[954]
i am going to go ahead and wrap things
[955]
up and sorry but not sorry just because
[957]
like i said
[958]
this is live so i realized i i was going
[960]
into this thinking that
[961]
maybe and i didn't mean to hype it up or
[963]
anything i i guess
[964]
maybe i did that that was unintentional
[966]
but sometimes
[968]
uh you'll you'll have a game plan going
[969]
in and it just doesn't quite go
[972]
uh no i mean i still made 300 on it so
[974]
i'm not trying to sit here and make it
[975]
seem like oh geez clay
[976]
what was you you made 300 in i don't
[979]
know
[979]
10 minutes like oh it's it's so i'm not
[981]
trying to come across as ungrateful just
[983]
that
[983]
i i know that maybe you were expecting
[986]
something
[986]
bigger kind of like i was either a
[988]
bigger win or a bigger loss but
[990]
it just played out in that fashion i'm
[992]
glad i played it the way i did
[993]
especially seeing how it's played out
[995]
but i think the best knot i think i know
[996]
the best part and best example is
[998]
just always be aware always be aware i
[1000]
get it movements that go up and up and
[1002]
up
[1002]
it can feel like right fomo fear of
[1004]
missing out can be a very real thing
[1006]
but all it takes is a trade like this
[1008]
and there is a bunch of people like i
[1009]
said buying up around here
[1011]
that can wipe out a whole lot of gains
[1013]
all your gains your entire account
[1016]
so just be aware of that it can happen
[1018]
and you know i saw a real life example
[1020]
of that happen
[1021]
right here with this one now before i go
[1023]
a final a few things here
[1024]
because these are live they're not the
[1026]
easiest to make i have to talk to you i
[1027]
have to think for myself i have to enter
[1028]
in my own orders i have to
[1030]
you know type alerts in the chat room so
[1032]
there is a lot of stuff going on
[1033]
and they're not impossible to do been
[1035]
doing it for years but i do want to
[1036]
i want to you know manage my time as
[1038]
best as possible so if if you do enjoy
[1040]
them if they are worth my time to put in
[1042]
all the effort then two things you can
[1043]
do
[1044]
hit that like button leave a simple
[1045]
comment i guess in this one just leave
[1047]
the comment erlen
[1048]
an emoji of coin so you leave a coin
[1051]
emoji
[1052]
or you know but something simple hit the
[1054]
like button leave a coin emoji or just a
[1056]
smiley face whatever
[1057]
but those two things go a long way in
[1059]
communicating to me that
[1060]
hey clay yeah they're worth your time
[1062]
please keep doing them
[1063]
because i enjoy them and as long as i
[1064]
know that i have no problem doing these
[1067]
uh it'd be so much easier to just record
[1069]
everything and then do a post commentary
[1070]
or a trade recap but
[1072]
i feel like those are kind of boring and
[1073]
i i from your feedback i know a lot of
[1074]
people like that the nitty gritty stuff
[1077]
although it can be really unscripted and
[1079]
look at this thing continue to drop
[1080]
right now i am stalling a little bit
[1082]
because i'm curious
[1083]
can this thing actually get down to
[1084]
these lows and break the lows let's
[1086]
watch
[1086]
let's just keep it going at this point
[1088]
so 381
[1091]
was where it is suddenly opened now i'm
[1093]
almost wondering should i uh
[1095]

[1098]
anyway so thank you for hanging out
[1100]

[1107]
comment below even if it's just an emoji
[1109]
so
[1109]
thanks for hanging out first off thanks
[1111]
so much for watching the entire video
[1113]
real quick before you go
[1114]
i want to invite you to a live webinar
[1116]
web class training workshop online event
[1119]
whatever you want to call it but it will
[1121]
be me live
[1122]
revealing to you what i discovered that
[1124]
has allowed me to transform myself from
[1126]
being an
[1127]
employee to being my own boss including
[1130]
how i had only one losing day out of 73
[1133]
days in total
[1134]
i'm going to cover three keys that have
[1136]
helped me unlock
[1137]
profitable consistency within the
[1139]
markets the first key is super weird but
[1141]
in a productive type of way
[1143]
the second key is super awesome because
[1145]
it quite literally is wired into our dna
[1148]
as humans
[1149]
making it very easy to use but in a
[1151]
cruel way
[1152]
this becomes a pitfall for many traders
[1154]
i'll explain it all though
[1155]
including how to avoid the pitfall that
[1157]
it creates for some and yeah the third
[1159]
key when you hear it
[1160]
sounds way too good way too good to be
[1162]
true but it's not and i'll show you
[1164]
how it all works then at the end i open
[1167]
it up for a question and answer session
[1168]
that is again
[1170]
totally live even if you can't make the
[1172]
live session please still sign up as it
[1174]
will be recorded
[1175]
and you can go back and watch the replay
[1177]
that i will send you
[1178]
click the image on the screen or click
[1180]
the link down in the description box
[1182]
so you can get the date and time and
[1184]
claim your spot which i should note
[1186]

[1187]
truly is a live event
[1189]
