All My Millionaire Students Did THIS: Thumbnail

Everyone wants to make money in the stock market.

That’s why you’re here isn’t it??

I don’t teach people how to put diapers on babies … I teach people how to trade stocks!

And for some of my students, it’s going pretty well. Take a look at the recent posts on X below.

But there are a lot of students who still haven’t figured it out.

Don’t worry there’s still time, the market’s not going anywhere. And the patterns that we use to trade don’t change.

But sooner or later you’ve got to start taking this seriously if you want to succeed as a trader.

Maybe you already are taking it seriously, and this blog is just a reminder to keep pushing!

There’s one thing you can do to make sure you’re working in the right direction.

All of my millionaire students did this.

Watch Our Past LIVE Trades

There is a massive library of live streams where my students can watch professional traders perform in the market.

We use the same patterns over and over again on different stocks. Eventually, you’ll start to recognize the common price action.

And since my cohort of millionaire students has grown, so has the library for new traders to learn from.

I explain more in the post below:

>> Access upcoming live streams and the library of past trades <<

It’s all about experience.

As a new trader, you don’t know what you don’t know.

And in the stock market, there are a lot of ways to get sidetracked.

To think, some people are out there trying to learn how to trade with incorrect information.

Give thanks that you have access to something as valuable and transparent as a trading live stream.

It blows my mind that some people aren’t watching these videos back to back to back.

That’s how all of my millionaire students studied. And look where they are now.

Cheers.

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 .
