As we kick off another week, all major indexes jumped after a rollercoaster ride for stocks.

Many traders may question what the next steps will be for the Fed to help curb the red-hot inflation…

But as for me, I am continuing to focus and look for the most perfect setups.

There is still a lot of uncertainty right now in the market, but I have been able to help ease the uncertainty by following what has worked for me for several years…

You see, I haven’t been forcing trades in hopes to make a profit…

In fact, I am keeping things plain and simple and focusing on one thing at a time.

I want all of you to understand, just like all 20+ of my millionaire students, how to manage your risk…

And how to keep things simple and maximize your gains.

So if you are continuously struggling and forcing trades that don’t have the right setup…

I want you to take a step back and listen to what I have to share with you today.

The Power Of Plain And Simple

There are a lot of traders out there who are simply looking to make money as quickly as possible…

And that is not the right mindset to have in order to be successful.

It’s not about how fast you can make money, or finding as many trades as possible…

But rather it is about perfecting your setups and finding those perfect opportunities.

I have mentored over 20+ millionaire students and they all achieved their goals in a different amount of time.

I teach all of my students to look for that one or two stocks that fit in perfectly with their trading strategy.

You see, I like to keep things plain and simple where I don’t trade hundreds of different stocks.

Over the last several weeks, I have been keeping an eye on stocks that fit in with my framework…

Over the last 20 years this framework has proven to be successful for me, so why trade random setups and get random results…

When you can just trade one and increase your chances of financial freedom?

Dangers Of Overtrading

There are several dangers of overtrading, so it’s important to understand how to avoid it.

Many traders get sucked into the hype of trading and one of the biggest dangers of over-trading is loss of capital.

Those traders are looking to hit a home run in one of their several trades, but in reality, most of those trades would result in the opposite.

This is why I teach all of my students to focus only on the best setups.

And the importance of self-discipline and how not to just talk yourself into a trade because of a “gut” feeling.

Despite the best possible trade setup, the market is very unforgiving, so it’s important to stay disciplined and follow my #1 rule.

All of my millionaire students perfected this rule, and this is what sets them apart from other traders.

How I Traded This One Stock 10 Times

Previously I mentioned the importance of finding the best setups possible.

In my pennystocking framework, I discuss the lifecycle of these stocks as you tend to see the same patterns over and over again…

Why trade 10 different stocks with random setups, when you can just trade one?

On Friday I was able to find another great opportunity with a stock that I’ve traded several times already…

Global Tech Industries Group, Inc. (OTC: GTII)

GTII chart 5-minute candles Source: StocksToTrade *Risked $17,685 in capital to profit $382

There is nothing wrong with trading one stock over and over again…

In fact, if there is an opportunity to trade a stock 100 times I’ll do it!

It’s all about finding the right setup and knowing how to take these quick profits that add up over time.

Here you can see I dip bought GTII at $3.93 and sold at $4.03, making a 2.46% profit.

With these types of stocks, you can potentially find multiple dip-buying opportunities, this is why it’s so important to look for those big percent gainers.

I mentioned this stock weeks ago about its run-up, and now I have made multiple trades on this one stock where I have profited over $4,500.

Using the dip-buying strategy is my favorite pattern, so whenever there is a possible dip-buying opportunity…

I’ll be looking to capitalize on it!

Final Thoughts

When it comes to trading, I like to keep things as plain and simple as possible…

Why increase your risk by making multiple different types of trades when you can just focus on one simple framework.

GTII has been fitting my framework perfectly and it is so important that you continue to focus on these solid setups!

Trading isn’t about who can get to a million the fastest, it’s about limiting your risk to help you take a step closer to financial freedom.

I have met several traders who have depleted their trading accounts by not staying disciplined and overtraded…

So I want you to understand that sometimes just being plain and simple and taking those small gains…

Is a step in the right direction for you to achieve the goal you are looking for.

Study up and learn the process!

Cheers,

Tim

P.S – GTII was the big trade over the last few weeks, but don’t miss out on this last chance to see how I am getting ready for this once in a lifetime opportunity…

The available research on day trading suggests that most active traders lose money. Fees and overtrading are major contributors to these losses.

A 2000 study called “Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth: The Common Stock Investment Performance of Individual Investors” evaluated 66,465 U.S. households that held stocks from 1991 to 1996. The households that traded most averaged an 11.4% annual return during a period where the overall market gained 17.9%. These lower returns were attributed to overconfidence.

A 2014 paper (revised 2019) titled “Learning Fast or Slow?” analyzed the complete transaction history of the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992 and 2006. It looked at the ongoing performance of day traders in this sample, and found that 97% of day traders can expect to lose money from trading, and more than 90% of all day trading volume can be traced to investors who predictably lose money. Additionally, it tied the behavior of gamblers and drivers who get more speeding tickets to overtrading, and cited studies showing that legalized gambling has an inverse effect on trading volume.

A 2019 research study (revised 2020) called “Day Trading for a Living?” observed 19,646 Brazilian futures contract traders who started day trading from 2013 to 2015, and recorded two years of their trading activity. The study authors found that 97% of traders with more than 300 days actively trading lost money, and only 1.1% earned more than the Brazilian minimum wage ($16 USD per day). They hypothesized that the greater returns shown in previous studies did not differentiate between frequent day traders and those who traded rarely, and that more frequent trading activity decreases the chance of profitability.

These studies show the wide variance of the available data on day trading profitability. One thing that seems clear from the research is that most day traders lose money .
