42sHigh stakes personal risk creates suspense and hooks viewers immediately.
βΆ Play ClipA day trader risks $60,000 on a single short trade using a strategy based on liquidity grabs, supply/demand zones, and narrative. The video explains how institutions manipulate price to trigger stop losses, and how retail traders can exploit these moves. The trader enters a short on QBTS, a quantum computing stock, and partially exits for a $7,500 profit.
The trader puts $60,000 of his own money on a single trade to demonstrate his strategy.
Day trading is a game of patient people taking money from impatient people, and only 1% of traders are consistently profitable.
Only 3% of day traders make a profit, and only 1% do it consistently.
Institutions create liquidity by driving price through key levels to trigger stop losses, allowing them to enter large positions.
Mark the first candle of a strong move on the 4-hour chart to identify areas where institutions are entering.
A narrative (e.g., AI hype, overvaluation) adds conviction to the trade. QBTS is overhyped and overvalued, making it a good short.
Entry at $19.13, stop loss above highs (7% risk ~$4,200), first target at area of demand (50% position for ~$7,500 profit), second target at previous highs (additional ~$9,000).
First take-profit hit, sold 50% for $7,500 profit. Second target pending at time of recording.
The strategy of identifying liquidity grabs, supply/demand zones, and a strong narrative can lead to profitable trades, but risk management is crucial. The trader successfully banked $7,500 on a partial exit.

06:10[00:02] trading. So, naturally, I'm going to put $60,000 of my own money on the line. What could possibly go wrong? A lot. A lot can go wrong. Day trading is basically a game of patient people taking money from impatient people. But
[00:15] it's also a game of chance. To understand this game of chance, I'm personally putting $60,000 of my own money on one single trade using this exact strategy I'm about to share with you. Will my own strategy actually
[00:29] succeed? Or will I lose $60,000 in the matter of seconds? Either way, I guess it's content. It's now Wednesday. I woke up at 7:30 a.m. today. I'm in Texas. >> So, market opens in 1 hour. I make sure I'm zooted on caffeine and then I
[00:44] proceed to spend the entire morning scrolling through my trading scanner scrolling through my trading scanner until I find the one. I set up all my strategy parameters. Tactics, tactics, tactics. I precisely
[00:57] set my limit order. Then I do the most important step and that is to wait patiently until price hits my order. Holy, it just hit my order. >> Order fill. Order fill. Order fill. Waterfill. Waterfill.
[01:09] You see, day trading isn't easy money. I'm sure the only reason you're even watching this video right now is because you saw some rich Tik Tocker talking from a helicopter about his Lamborghini that he got from trading stocks. Here in
[01:22] my garage, just bought this uh new Lamborghini here. knowledge. already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. In fact, most day >> What? People lose money while day trading.
[01:35] >> Well, yeah, the majority do. It's a known statistic that only 3% of day traders make a profit. And only 1% actually do it consistently. So, in order to make money, you have to become part of the 1% of traders. And how do
[01:48] you become part of the 1% of traders, you may ask? Doing exactly opposite of what the 99% are doing. You see, it's pretty simple actually. If 99% of traders are not profitable, that means if you do the exact opposite of what
[02:01] they are doing, you'll make money. It sounds stupid, but it's true. In order to do this, we are going to use one of the core concepts in our strategy, and that is liquidity. In order to understand liquidity, we first have to
[02:13] understand how the big billion-doll institutions trade, or in other words, the 1%. Now unlike you and me where we can simply just buy wherever we want. Big institutions can't really do that. They are dealing with so much money
[02:27] while trading there are simply not enough sellers at the price where they want to buy at. So what do they do? They create the sellers themselves. [Music] >> But how did they do that?
[02:42] >> By doing a little thing called manipulation. Have you ever seen this happen? Price is coming down to a recent low, a key support area. Now, what's happening at this low is very simple. Normal retail traders like you and me
[02:55] are seeing this as a key support and enter when price comes down to here thinking the price will bounce up from the support. So, where better to place your stop loss than right below this recent low? That's a pretty normal
[03:08] you are, you would assume if price crossed this low, it would be considered a downtrend, lose all of its momentum, and keep crashing downward. Now, the institutions own this stock already, but
[03:20] they are trading with hundreds of millions of dollars, there are simply not enough sellers at this price for them to buy from. So, they need to create the sellers themselves. So, what
[03:32] they'll do is start selling their own shares to artificially drive the price down. They will make it seem like the stock is losing lots of momentum crashing downwards when in reality it's not which other retail traders will see
[03:46] this and start selling as well which in turn drives the price down even more. It will do this to the extent of passing this recent low which will trigger all of these stop- losses that we were talking about before. So now there are
[04:00] tons of people selling trying to get rid of what they are holding which means the institutions can now enter at the price they want since there are so many sellers. Price hits these stop losses institutions buy a fuckload of shares
[04:13] and price starts heading in the original direction it was meant to making institutions billions of dollars. That is liquidity. Now the trade we just took broke all-time highs then reversed back downward. So instead of sell side
[04:27] liquidity like the last example, this time we got buy side liquidity. It's the same concept just reverse. So this is why we are looking to short. If you don't know, instead of making money while the price is going up, shorting is
[04:40] where you make money as the price goes down. Price breaking this all-time high is our liquidity. And actually all-time highs are usually the most aggressive types of liquidity. And this is part of the puzzle of how we become part of the
[04:53] the puzzle of how we become part of the 1%. But just because we find liquidity, that doesn't necessarily mean we found a good trade. Now, the 1% not only know how to find liquidity and even target liquidity, but they also know how to
[05:05] find perfect spots to enter their trades. In order to know where they enter, we have to understand one key thing. Retail traders don't move the price. The institutions do. Now, sure, me and your pennies could possibly move
[05:18] the stock price a smidge in the grand scheme of things, but the majority of price movement comes from hedge funds, banks, and institutions. That's where the price really moves. We can find where they're entering by finding key
[05:30] levels of supply and demand. To do this, go to the 4hour time frame. Find the start of a strong move. Mark the low to the high of the candle that started this move. This is your area of demand. You can do the exact same thing with areas
[05:44] of supply. Find a strong move downwards. Find the first candle that started that move. Mark the low and the high of that candle. This is your area of supply. The want to be entering where the big institutions are entering. And if price
[05:57] spiked up strong from this price, that means the institutions are probably entering here. So we would wait for price to come back down to this zone, enter here where price is likely to spike up again and we make all the
[06:10] profits. So, if we go back to our trade, we already grabbed the liquidity at the our area of supply. We marked the first candle that started the downwards move. This is our area of supply, and we must wait for price to enter into this zone
[06:25] again, and we enter our short trade. Now, just because we have liquidity and supply, that doesn't necessarily mean price will follow exactly what we think it'll do. You need another layer of confirmation, and that confirmation is a
[06:39] narrative. Now, narratives come in all shapes and sizes. It could be a sector that has a lot of potential like AI. It could be good economic news, Trump makes another tweet, or it could be overhyped. Now, this play is QBTS and they are
[06:54] quantum computing company. It's been going crazy this past month or so with all the AI hype going on recently. Now, to be completely honest, I really do believe in this company. I think quantum computing is the future and I think it's
[07:06] a really good company for that. And I actually traded this exact stock a couple months ago, but the last trade I was in a long trade. I used this exact same strategy, just flipped around. I entered in around $4 and sold around
[07:20] $18. It was my biggest trade to date and I posted it live in my Discord group. But with that said, I think it's extremely overpriced at the moment. For example, this company is still in its early stages. They are actually losing
[07:34] money at the making of this video. Now, sure, they could be reinvesting into the future. And just because they don't have a net profit doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad company. At the making of this video, AI stocks are going
[07:48] absolutely bonkers. And anything related to that is going up along with it, even if the company isn't necessarily making money. Like, just look at this chart. This screams speculation. And on top of that, it's valued at 5.3 billion with a
[08:04] B. So yeah, I think this stock is overvalued at this point. I don't think this is a long-term short in any way, but I do believe at this very moment it's a speculation play for buyers and speculators get scared very very easily.
[08:18] And if buyers are freaking out as the chart goes down, that'll just add the momentum of the stock to plummet, which in return our short trade makes money. So we found three main things, liquidity, an area of supply, then a
[08:32] narrative. So, now that we know how I'm trading the stock, now is the time to put my money where my mouth is and enter into the short trade for $60,000. Here's the plan. Like I've stated, we were patient enough to not only find
[08:46] this play, but to get a liquidity grab in a key strong area of supply with this candle right here. As I'm editing this now, it's now Wednesday. Price just entered into our area of supply, so we can finally enter into this trade. To be
[09:00] completely honest, I'm kind of nervous. This is definitely a more volatile stock, meaning when it goes up and down, it goes up and down a lot. But I'm going to stick with the ideal facts and play the game of probabilities and enter into
[09:14] this trade with 60 grand. We're going to set our stop loss above these highs. Our entry price was $19.13. So, if price decides to go up from here, we'll lose around 7%, which is roughly around $4,200. I could buy a lot of cool
[09:29] things with $4,200. But if this trade goes in the other direction, we'll play it safe and are going to sell 50% of our position at this area of demand right here. And we'll sell the other 50% of our position if price breaks these lows
[09:43] and targets these previous highs. If price hits our first target, we'll make around 24%. And if we're selling only 50% of our shares at this point, we'll make around $7,500. If price goes all the way down to our
[09:57] second take-profit, we'll make an additional $9,000. So, if this trade plays out correctly, we can make a total of $16,500 in one single trade. Let's see what happened. A hit or take profit. Price is
[10:12] now at our area of demand, and we sold 50% of our position for a profit of around $7500. I'll be posting this video now while I'm the profit and hopefully price can hit our second target. If you're watching
[10:26] this video as I upload it, in no way am I saying you should short this stock now. It's probably too late. If you want to see all of my trades live, I posted this exact trade and many others just like it live in my Discord group as I'm
[10:40] entering, where I'm exiting, and basically all the information of why I'm entering into the stock in the first place. So, yeah, there's that. If you're interested, I'll leave a link to my Discord in the description. But yeah,
[10:53] See you next time. >> Here in my garage. Just bought this uh >> Here in my garage. Just bought this uh new Lamborghini here. Knowledge.
