As I approach my 40th birthday later this year, I've set myself a new challenge: to master day trading before I turn 50. This podcast is my personal diary, where I'll share every step of my journey - the successes, the setbacks, and all the lessons learned along the way.
In this introduction, I'll give you a glimpse into my background as an affiliate marketer and entrepreneur. I've spent the last 15 years building content websites and teaching others about affiliate marketing. Now, I'm venturing into new territory as a day trading novice, just like you might be. I was inspired to take this leap by a pivotal video that posed a life-altering question: "What would you do if you couldn't fail?" For me, the answer was clear - day trading.
This podcast is not just about learning to trade stocks - it's about the journey of transformation and the mindset required to succeed. I'll share insights on how to set realistic goals, the importance of patience, and why there's no shortcut to success. You'll learn with me, from the ground up, as I build a strong foundation in day trading without cutting any corners.
Why share this journey publicly?
Because teaching others helps reinforce my own learning – it's the protege effect. Plus, I want to offer a unique perspective that's often missing in day trading education - that of a true beginner. I'm in your shoes, facing the same challenges and learning curve, and I hope my experiences will be as helpful to you as they are to me.
As we kick off this adventure, let's set some realistic expectations. Success in day trading, like any skill, takes time. I'm prepared for the long haul, committed to learning, and eager to share every step of the way with you.
So, if you're curious about day trading, looking for a beginner-friendly guide, or just interested in following someone's journey of growth and learning, this podcast is for you. Subscribe to join me on this exciting venture. Together, we'll explore the world of day trading, one episode at a time.

The Miracle Morning: Order on Amazon

Find My Script Here: https://stokestrades.com/morning-routine-for-traders/

Why a Morning Routine?

The reality is, many of us juggle multiple responsibilities alongside trading, which makes a disciplined start to the day even more valuable. A structured morning routine has transformed my productivity, a practice I honed while running my online business before transitioning to trading.

The Miracle Morning Method

Today, I want to share the Miracle Morning method, which can revolutionize your mornings and can be adapted for trading. The method includes:

  1. Silence (S): Start with meditation or deep breathing to calm the mind and reduce stress, crucial for avoiding emotional trading and just starting your day on the right path.
  2. Affirmations (A): Reinforce your trading goals and mindset with positive affirmations. These help solidify your commitment and focus.
  3. Visualization (V): Picture your trading day unfolding successfully, which can help manifest these outcomes in reality.
  4. Exercise (E): A brief physical activity can energize you and enhance mental clarity.
  5. Reading (R): Spend a few minutes reading something educational or motivational to expand your trading knowledge.
  6. Scribing (S): Journaling your trading plan and reflections can improve discipline and track progress.

Implementing the Routine

This routine doesn’t need to be lengthy; even a condensed version can significantly impact your trading mindset and effectiveness. Tailor it to fit your lifestyle and see how it transforms your productivity and trading discipline.

Adapting to Realities

Life’s unpredictabilities, like family commitments or unexpected illnesses, can disrupt our routines. It’s crucial to maintain a long-term perspective and adapt. Success in trading, like in any professional field, requires persistence and resilience.

Looking Ahead

Throughout this season, we will explore practical trading applications and share real-money trading experiences, documenting the journey in our community on Skool. Join us there for more detailed discussions and to share your progress.

Thanks for tuning in to the first episode of season three. I'm excited to share more about my trading journey and helpful routines that support trading success. Check out the links below

Welcome to episode 17 of the "Day Trading for Beginners Podcast." Today, we're continuing our exploration into the world of options trading. This episode can be considered part two of our introduction to options, focusing specifically on selling options, including both call and put options.
Download my 6-Month Blueprint for becoming a full-time day trader:
https://stokestrades.com/blueprint
Watch the video version here:

https://stokestrades.com/selling-options/

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Selling Options: Building on our initial discussion on options, we now examine selling call and put options. We clarify the concepts of being "covered" versus "naked" in option selling and the implications of each.
  • Understanding Assignment: A crucial aspect of selling options, we explain what it means to be "assigned" and the responsibilities it entails for the seller.
  • Risks and Strategies:
    • Covered Calls: How owning the underlying stock can provide a safety net when selling call options.
    • Naked Calls: The higher risk associated with selling call options without owning the underlying stock.
    • Cash-Secured Puts: The benefits and precautions of selling put options when you're prepared to buy the stock at the strike price.
  • Closing Out Positions: An essential strategy for both buyers and sellers to manage risk and secure profits. We discuss how to "buy to close" your positions and the strategic advantages of doing so.

Key Takeaways:

  • Selling options can be a strategic way to generate income, but it comes with obligations that traders must understand.
  • The difference between "covered" and "naked" positions significantly impacts the risk profile of selling options.
  • Understanding assignment and how to manage your positions through closing strategies is crucial for minimizing risk and maximizing returns.

Resources Mentioned:

  • Educational websites and YouTube channels for learning about options trading is ideal for this phase of the journey. I emphasize the value of free resources for beginners to grasp the fundamentals without the need for expensive courses.

https://www.optionseducation.org/

Closing Thoughts:
As we peel back the layers of options trading, it's clear that a solid grasp of the basics is foundational for success. Selling options introduces new dynamics and risks, but with the right knowledge and strategies, it can be a valuable part of your trading arsenal.

Day Trading for Beginners - Confluence... Do You Know What This Means?
play

09/23/24 • 8 min

Welcome to another episode of the "Day Trading for Beginners" podcast. In this short episode, we're going to talk about confluence. If you're just joining us, be sure to download the 6 Month Blueprint that offers a roadmap for your first steps as a day trader.
Download the 6 Month Blueprint: https://stokestrades.com/blueprint

Our Free Community on Skool: See this post in our group here.
What is Confluence?
Confluence in trading refers to a situation where multiple technical indicators or analysis techniques align, suggesting a more robust forecast for market direction. This alignment increases the likelihood of a successful trade by reinforcing the signal strength.
Seeing Confluence in Action:
To observe confluence firsthand, you can use charting tools like TradingView. I've included a link in the show notes for you to access TradingView, where you can sign up for a free account with some limitations. This tool is excellent for visualizing how different indicators converge on a chart to indicate potential trading opportunities.
Why Confluence Matters:
Understanding and identifying confluence is crucial because it helps traders make more informed decisions. Instead of relying on a single indicator, confluence allows you to gather evidence from multiple sources, reducing the risk of false signals and increasing your confidence in executing trades.
Examples of Confluence:

  • Moving Averages: A bullish signal is reinforced if the price is above both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, and the shorter moving average crosses above the longer one.
  • Support and Resistance Levels: A price breaking through a resistance level while other indicators signal a bullish trend can signify a strong upward move.
  • MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): If the MACD line crosses above the signal line at the same time the price moves above a key moving average, it suggests bullish momentum.
  • Volume: An increase in trading volume accompanying a price breakout above resistance indicates strong buyer interest and supports the price movement's sustainability.
  • Ichimoku Cloud: When 3 of the 4 indicators are bullish on the Ichimoku Cloud, and price is above the 50 week moving average, there is confluence among these indicators.

Closing Thoughts:
Today's episode was a concise exploration of confluence, a key concept that you'll encounter repeatedly in your trading journey. By understanding and utilizing confluence, you can enhance the accuracy of your trades and make more strategic decisions.

Welcome to episode 6 of the "Day Trading for Beginners Podcast." I'm Tyler Stokes from StokesTrades.com, embarking on a full-time day trading journey. This episode, we're taking a brief pause from strategy discussions to talk about a fundamental concept every trader encounters: margin.

Download the 6 Month Blueprint: https://stokestrades.com/blueprint
TradingView Charting Software: Start a free trial here
TraderSync Trading Journal: Visit the official website here
Our Free Community on Skool: See this post in our group here.
Today’s Topic – Understanding Margin: Margin trading can significantly increase your purchasing power but comes with its risks. This episode will break down the basics of margin, including what it is, margin requirements, margin calls, and how margin impacts buying power.
Key Concepts Covered:

  • What is Margin? It’s essentially a loan from your brokerage that allows you to buy more stocks than your cash balance would permit. This can amplify both gains and losses.
  • Margin Requirements: These are the guidelines set by brokers that dictate how much money you must keep in your account to cover your borrowed funds. We'll explain initial and maintenance margins.
  • Margin Calls: If your account value falls below the required level, you’ll face a margin call, compelling you to deposit more funds or sell some assets.
  • Buying Power: With margin, your buying power increases, allowing you to hold larger positions than you could with just your cash. However, this also increases your financial exposure.

Understanding the Risks: While margin can expand your investment capabilities, it also enhances potential losses. Managing these risks is crucial, especially for beginners not trading with real money yet.
