[00:13] placed a sell order, and then made a move, thinking it would change something. You can also clearly see his anger, his desperation in the operation; he even
[00:25] his anger, his desperation in the operation; he even messed up.
[00:42] video point by point again. You can see that he's already entering before even entering the trade; he 's very nervous, right? A very nervous attitude there; he clearly doesn't know what he's doing. He's totally anxious on a
[00:57] 5-second chart, even though it's a chart that many people know how to lot of care because the volatility is very high, and it's a chart with a lot of noise. Any operation, any analysis within this chart is very
[01:10] the moment of the click has arrived. He analyzed, clicked a sell order, right? He made a sell order. If we analyze the chart very well, it went up; it's in a very strong upward movement. He made a correction
[01:23] here at this support, right? There's a little support there, and now it's starting to go up. Okay, he understood that it would be a sell order, and he made it there, selling. Let's go. Okay. Here you can see that he started blowing out candles as if it were going to
[01:36] solve something, as if it were going to help the candle fall. We know that the candle doesn't fall because someone is blowing on it, right? It falls due to supply and demand, right? But you can clearly see that he doesn't know what he's doing, very
[01:49] that he doesn't know what he's doing, very nervous, very anxious. But let's continue. Look, the operation hasn't even finished yet, it only went up a little bit, and it already yet, it only went up a little bit, and it already started to not go down, he even got confused. At
[02:02] so nervous that he clicked accidentally, the screen went out, he made a huge mess. Some people in this case even click again accidentally. Put more money in, anyway, look, the operation is back, the operation is higher up, it's going to end, it's going to end, and the end is
[02:18] him crying. Well, if you're on the other side and have this type of profile, I want to help you. Stay there so you can understand some steps that can help you improve because, believe me, trading isn't just about analysis;
[02:31] in fact, it's much more than analysis, it's much more than management. There's another foundation, another pillar within this foundation that sustains trading, which is mindset. And that's where many people make mistakes. Let's understand what kind of
[02:44] profile this is. Well, it's clearly an anxious profile; it 's an amateur who does n't know what they're doing. But why are they anxious? Maybe they put money into the market that they couldn't afford to lose, and many people do this,
[02:58] many people hoping to make money, believing it will work out. They don't money they can't accept losing because they're only looking at the bright side, only hoping it will work out. I'll give you a practical example: many
[03:12] people take money from rent, for example, to boost their profits and pay child's school fees, in that desperation. I can even understand that the person does everything to get that money and brings it to the
[03:24] trade believing in it, but they don't calculate that it could go wrong. And in day trading, there are two possibilities: what is the possibility of success or failure, a win or a loss, excluding the break-even point? But it could be a win, or it could be a loss; there
[03:38] or a loss. So, even before you enter the market and put the possibilities. If I lose this money on this entry, that will... If this hurts me in some way, then you shouldn't even enter
[03:54] that trade. So, first point: Never put money you can't afford to lose, money that will hurt you emotionally in some way. Second second chart. I'm not judging the way he's analyzing it because analyzing the
[04:08] market is a very particular way; there 's no right way, no correct way to do this or that. There are traders who can, for example, operate and analyze a 5-second chart; there are traders who only operate on
[04:22] daily or monthly weekly charts. So, it will depend a lot on each trader's profile. It doesn't mean that the guy who's analyzing daily or monthly charts is more intelligent or smarter than the guy who's
[04:34] analyzing the 5-second chart. They are different profiles and analyses. Both will work at some point, and both won't work at some point. I'm not judging the way he analyzes, but you can see that
[04:46] within his analysis, it's an analysis that he doesn't control; he doesn't master his area. He operated there. Because he was very anxious, he wanted to make the trade no matter what, so
[05:00] he clicked and left it to God, right? He started hoping it would work out, and it went completely wrong, totally the opposite of what he imagined. And the ending is this sad scene of him crying, and most people who
[05:14] enter day trading without any knowledge end up having the same end. The end up having the same end. The think, "Oh, the market manipulated it," and then start blaming others for their lack of
[05:27] responsibility. In reality, you need to be a man or a woman to deal decisions here in the market. The market is the same for everyone. The third issue was a lack of management, right? He wanted to make a win,
[05:41] maybe, right? That's what I understood from this video. He made a win believing, as I said at the beginning of the video, in the hope that the trade would work out, right? So he made the win in that operation and it ended up going wrong, right? Never bet on a win if
[05:55] you can't sustain both possibilities, as I told you, bet on a win if you can't see the downside, man, rich, but I... Confluences, confluence in trend, it's
[06:10] in an upward trend, it's already above the average, the market was at support and even so the market gives me an L, I think it's being manipulated, there's nothing manipulative about it, what happens is that within the statistics of your trade, that trade
[06:24] ended up failing, it could have been good but it ended up failing, it's normal, you can wait for that perfect entry and still give an L. I usually say that this profession is the only profession where you can know everything,
[06:36] master all possible tools, but it's not a guarantee of victory in any trade, any trade, and how do we protect ourselves from that? Through Risk Management, if it goes wrong, we have Risk Management, if within the
[06:51] backtest you did, because I believe that when you operate with your analysis you did some kind of backtest, right? So if within your backtest you saw that your operation, your analysis, statistically speaking, has more
[07:04] hits than wins, if you adjust that within a management plan, it will work out at the end of the month, it will work out at the end of a period, maybe even annually, right? Bring this to the short term because you can fall into the
[07:17] statistics, so if you If you don't master your technique, if you don't master your mindset and have inefficient risk management, it's no use coming to the no use coming to the market now. You don't want to lose the market. Get
[07:32] market now. You don't want to lose the market. Get ready, let's watch a second video
[07:53] seconds manipulating, many people say this, it can't
[08:21] the internet went down at that moment, everything is a mess, right?
[08:49] ohin los los los los
[09:04] we're talking about, right? An emotionally unstable person, once again, a person who is putting all the money that he didn't accept losing, believed in a good analysis, you saw, there was a moment in the video where he said the
[09:16] following: "Look, a perfect support, now it's impossible to fail," and it will fail, and it will fail because when the market is in a very large supply, right, in a sequence, a very strong flow, there is
[09:32] continue buying at that type of support, it will fail, it will continue to first support that the second will respect it, it's not just because the price is higher, it's higher. Cheap, it can't get any cheaper, it can get cheaper
[09:47] depending on market flow. If there's a lot of supply, it will fall, simple as that. If there aren't people interested in buying at that price, the market won't go want it to, it won't go up because someone put in their entire bankroll. The market will
[10:01] thing, they put in their whole bankroll, let's respect that." No, that's not how it works. If you can't control your emotions, I repeat, I'll stress this again, you'll just be another one. Some studies even show that traders
[10:16] studies even show that traders lose money because they don't know how to manage their own emotions. I got rich, but I can't, man. Every trade I enter, I can't contain myself. I 'm shaking like a bamboo stick, man. I ca
[10:30] n't. What am I going to do? What do I do? Before, what I used to do was click on the market, click on a trade, and leave the chart because I was anxious. I didn't want to see that, I just checked to see
[10:42] the result, right? And I realized that was wrong because I needed to learn how to deal with it. And how did I deal with it? I started to... Seeing the operation through to the end, man, whether it clicks or not, I was there observing that operation
[10:56] because if I did the analysis, I clicked, man, there's nothing more to do, there's nothing more to do, you can't go back. So if I did an analysis, a pre-analysis, saw that it was a selling point, for example, within my setup, within what I
[11:10] within my setup, within what I believe, and I made the sale, it's over, it's over, there's no use crying anymore. Now I have to see if the market will respect it or not. If it respects it, great, congratulations, good job! If it doesn't
[11:24] respect it, man, go to management, get organized in management, wait for the next opportunity. So let's summarize what you need: stop being anxious, bring to the market only the money you accept to lose,
[11:38] that won't hurt you financially; second, master your technique, the technique you studied and propose to use in the market, don't keep changing techniques make you perform well in the medium to long term; third, have
[11:54] medium to long term; third, have efficient risk management; and fourth, don't worry so much about short-term results, you won't dominate the market. Forget about that, you won't dominate the market. What you will be
[12:06] able to dominate is your mind, your management. And your technique is to put all of that together into one package, and maybe you can develop from that. screws so that it works for you in the medium to long term. Have patience, I'm
[12:22] sure that with patience you'll go very far. Don't want everything immediately, don't want everything for today. It's not just one entry that will change your life, right? It's one step at a time, one step at a time, so you can
[12:36] saying, okay? And we'll see each other soon. A big hug.
