I mean, it's much easier for you to can download a platform to trade on the Japanese stock exchange, the Hong Kong stock exchange, the Russian stock exchange, the European Union stock exchange, right? And that's quite interesting, it manages to operate several types of stock exchanges in one. That's what we call Forex. When you're trading a specific stock exchange, for example, B13 here in Brazil is the Brazilian stock exchange, the European stock exchange covers the countries of the European Union, the German stock exchange only covers Germany, right? So you get it, each country has its own specific stock exchange, right? For example, the European Union also has the issue of the main European indices. Well, when we're talking about the American market individually, it's only the United States, but you can also trade in the Forex market, where you can trade various markets with a single broker or platform, which makes things easier. But in this video I'm going to show you this difference in detail and explain which platform operates in the international market and how you can nowadays it's not necessary, there's no need to send physical documents, there's no need to send letters, there's no need for authorization. In the past, you needed 25,000 to trade. Today, that requirement of 25,000 to be able to operate within the market no longer exists. Today it's much cheaper; starting from 50 or 100 you can already begin in international markets. And the best part is that it operates 23 hours a day. So, if you work regular business hours, you can be going to work, right? So let's get to today's video, which is about truly specializing in the market. Folks, we have two upcoming classes starting soon. Day 14: straight-to-the-point course. For those of you who are just starting out, or for those of you strategies. My phone is right here on the screen. I teach, and Professor Massuda on the 21st the international American market trading course begins. Registration for both courses is open and there are still places available. And don't miss the lifetime support, always with me, Professor Norton, and Professor Massudo. So let's get like, subscribe to the channel, and comment below what you thought of below and I'll answer all the comments, okay? Let's get to today's video. How to get started in the official American market? What are the most like to trade that you can trade in international markets? Okay? What assets are people looking for most? Folks, today we have the EURD, the STJPY, and a mini-index, but for the American market. We have the NASDAQ index, Bitcoin, and also the stock market. What platforms do I use to trade in international markets and the American market? Guys, who has been in the market the longest? You've probably heard of Metader 4 and Metro 35, which are older platforms not as widely used by Brazilians today. In Brazil, three main platforms have recently become popular: Traineew, Black Arrow, and Ninja Trader, okay? Ninja Trader, folks, started gaining popularity in Brazil a few years ago. Now they've entered the market with more force, want to invest, because nowadays they have their own brokerage firm, a advanced platform with many more tools that are now making a strong entry into the Brazilian market, okay? So what are the important points you need to understand in order to choose a good insurance broker? Because, international brokerage firm—I've seen a lot of people talking about a binary options brokerage, a regulation, a brokerage that's only been in the market for a year—you have to choose established brokerage firms, brokerage firms that already have a certain reputation, brokerage firms that have been in the market for years, that are regulated, that complicate matters. market for a year in a country that nobody knows where it is, right? This is an important point. So let's go. Always use regulated brokers, especially those regulated in Europe and the United States, and, you know, that's right, the folks, right? So, brokers regulated in Europe and also in the have both, okay? Because it's usually one or the other, they're much safer, they provide more clarity, more security when you're investing, okay? Check which platforms the brokerage provides, right? And always be careful with your withdrawals, everyone, okay? Well, if Aura requires a higher minimum withdrawal amount for each request, that ends up creating a bit of uncertainty. So, the minimum withdrawal is this much this much, simple, very straightforward, there's no need to go around saying, " Oh, now it's this much decreasing, no, no. That's exactly what I'm focused on, okay? And always check the asset's price no use using a brokerage firm if one brokerage firm quotes one price and another quotes a difference, but it's minimal, like one company charging a slightly higher fee, another charging a minimal difference, it's not a problem, that 's normal, those are the spreads, okay? But if it's take the mini-index as an example, right? One mini-index is at 200,000, another at 180,000, damn, another 10%, that's a lot . That's wrong, okay? Let's go. Another important point, when you start trading, okay? Always trade during most liquid time of day, folks? When there are more people operating, the volume is higher. If the volume is higher, it ends up, folks, that with a higher volume, consequently there is greater liquidity, meaning more people are trading. liquidity, especially during peak hours , take, for example, Brasília time, from 10 am to 2 pm, up to 2 pm, that's the time with the most liquidity, the most people trading, right? But in business, it's easier to find buyers and sellers, right? For example, if you want to trade at after 11 PM, Brasília time. You take the opening of the Asian market, you take the opening of Japan, Hong Kong, Shanghai, which provides AM, Brasília time, you catch the opening of the European markets. really cool website so you can understand more clearly how this works, okay? For example, this website that I really like is Market 24h Clock. Guys, the crypto, for those who like to trade crypto, uh, some commodities crypto, uh, some commodities operate 23 hours a day, okay? But the stock markets in those particular countries don't operate 24 hours a day, we consider the time I'm recording this video, which is 2 PM here, we can see that the only stock exchanges that are open in the world right now are the exchanges in the United States and also the Toronto Stock Exchange in Canada, and also here in Brazil, the Chicago Stock Exchange, which is also trading. So here, folks, if we look at this time now, it's a time with a lot of liquidity, but if you take the interval from 5 PM Brasília time until about 10:30 PM Brasília time, it's the worst time US market SP500 will be open, right? It only closes for one hour a day, but for most of that time, from 5 to 10 pm, it will be open. Is it possible to operate? From the. But I think it's risky, okay? I think it's very risky because liquidity is lower, sometimes you end up not buying at the price you want. 9 or 10 pm. Sure, when you 're operating in the official American market , it's much more relaxed, right? It's regulated in the platform I like to use, Ninja. It ends up being much more reassuring when operating in the official American market , okay? So, it ends up providing more 's not ideal. Ah, I want to trade very early, at 4 or 5 in the morning. You catch the opening of the European market, the closing of the Asian stock exchange, there's a considerable volume compared to, for example, from 5 to 10 very careful, folks, on days like payroll updates, which we'll be Wednesday, those are examples where the market receives news, like this conflict between the United States and Iran, the market gives some very strong news and sometimes it moves very quickly, right? So, exactly during the time when there's a payroll report, a US interest rate decision, inflation release, as the market can become more risky and sometimes, you know, you could end up being stopped out very quickly, okay? OK. So, another important point, advantages are of operating abroad. Earnings in dollars, right? We know than the real, right? Investing in American stocks, a market that operates virtually every day, almost 24 hours a day. This seems to be the benefit work during Brazilian business hours, want to trade at night, when I'm more at home, more relaxed, not working, and don't always have to trade on my phone; I can use my computer, bad, folks, that's not it. But for many people, the computer offers more convenience and functionality in terms of the platform, right? So that 's something people ask us about a lot, right? He's already learned how to trade on the B3 (Brazilian stock exchange), but as well. And nowadays, since the pandemic , it's much easier to much, much, much, much easier, okay, everyone? So, folks, nowadays it's no use being a good trader if you don't have a good about various platforms here in Brazil, many, many, many videos in the United States, many. I talk about this every week, right? Well, folks, having a platform that's good, that you can adapt to, that's easy to use right away, and of course, has a low cost, makes things much easier, right? The platform that , in the official United States, is Ninja Trader today, okay? Ninja channel a long time ago talking about Ninja, right? But today it's much than it used to be, right?
