Transcript of How To Make $400/Day as a Beginner Trader in 2026 (Full Course)
Emmanuel Malyarovich
0:00I made $19,000 over the last 2 weeks and0:02over 450,000 last year day trading0:05stocks and all of my students that you0:07see on the screen right now all made0:09over $20,000 last month. In this video,0:11I'm going to break down the exact0:12process of hitting $400 a day even if0:15you're a beginner day trader. First,0:17we're going to talk about the style that0:18you'll be trading, the math behind your0:20profitability and from there, we'll talk0:22about risk management and the strategy0:25that you'll be executing every single0:27day. Here's the proof by the way, I0:28believe in transparency. This is my0:30Charles Schwab brokerage account and0:32from August 10th of 2026 to August 21st0:35of 2026, the last 10 trading days, I0:38made a little bit over $19,000 day0:40trading stocks and in 2025, I made a0:42little bit over 460,0000:44which was a 237%0:46return on my trading account and if you0:49think this is Photoshop or a screenshot0:51that I edited, I will go ahead and0:53refresh the page on my Charles Schwab0:55account and there's the $460,000.0:58Okay, let's jump right into the video1:00we're going to be talking about the1:01style that you're going to be trading1:03using this framework. Now, you see most1:04traders, they just want to catch moves1:06like this. This was the Moderna this1:08past week and it rallied almost 200%1:11in a matter of like 2 days. Moderna1:14calls were up over 300,000%1:17meaning if you put in $1,000 into1:19Moderna calls, you would have made1:21$3,000 essentially overnight. And I1:24don't even trade options, I trade1:26equities, but I saw this on social media1:28and I thought it was crazy and I get it.1:30I get why a lot of traders gravitate1:33towards this home run style of trading1:35because in their mind, one trade can1:38make their entire year. It can set them1:40up for life, but in my experience and1:43I've been day trading for over 6 years,1:44my father has been trading for over a1:46decade, trades like this do not happen1:49every day or every week or every month.1:51You'll be lucky to catch a runner like1:54this once a year, maybe twice a year. In1:57other words, this style is not1:59repeatable. It's not consistent. And in2:02my opinion, I think the true mark of a2:04professional trader is consistency. It's2:07the ability to walk into the markets2:08almost every single day and have the2:10confidence that you're going to make2:12money. Now, of course, you're going to2:13have losing days, you're going to have2:15break-even days. They are inevitable.2:17But the point is you need a system that2:19is repeatable on a day-to-day basis2:21where you can expect consistent results.2:24And I think scalping2:26is the best system for that. Scalping is2:30when you capitalize on small2:32fluctuations in price. I think it's way2:34more repeatable catching 5 to 20 cent2:37moves, maybe even multiple times per2:39day, versus catching one 200% move that2:43makes your entire month, right? With2:45scalping, you're catching a quick move2:46here, you make 50 bucks, 80 bucks here,2:49100 bucks there, 40 bucks here, $2002:51here. And even though those individual2:54trades don't make a lot of money, by the2:56end of the day, you're looking at your2:58profit and you're like, "Hey, that's not3:00a bad day." Because all of those scalps3:02add up to a really nice profit. I think3:05scalping is very beginner-friendly.3:07That's why I'm making this video,3:08because I think it's a lot more3:09mechanical. It's also way more3:11rules-based. Like here's the thing, even3:13if you caught this Moderna, do you3:15really think you would have held until3:17the very top? Or do you think you would3:19have mismanaged it or gotten out way too3:21early? And that's the thing with3:23catching these massive runners. They're3:26very difficult psychologically because3:28you have to hold through massive swings3:30in price, through massive fluctuations,3:33and you have to hold through3:33retracements. It takes years to develop3:37that type of trade management. So, for3:39beginners, I think it's far better to3:41catch a quick move here, quick move3:43there. And of course, make sure you're3:44focusing on risk management. This is3:47like the base hits philosophy.3:49Small consistent wins compound. You3:52don't need home runs. You don't need3:54massive winners. You need small3:56consistent wins that compound. And if3:58you're able to compound winning days4:00into winning weeks into winning months,4:02you're going to grow more confidence and4:04you're going to scale your risk and as a4:06result make more money. The other thing4:08about scalping, especially when it comes4:10for beginner traders, you're going to4:12get way more reps. Like I take probably4:14on average seven to 10 trades a day. I4:17have students that take 15 to 25 trades4:20per day. And we trade on a4:21commission-free broker. That's how we're4:23able to do this. So, we don't pay4:25commissions. We trade on Thinkorswim by4:28Charles Schwab, but like with swing4:30trading, you take one to two trades a4:32week. How are you going to improve?4:34You're not getting enough repetition.4:35With scalping, when you're taking a4:37bunch of trades per day, you're actually4:39building the reps. You're building the4:41experience. Now, let's talk about the4:42math behind your profitability and let's4:45go ahead and crunch some numbers. Let's4:47say you want to make $100,000 per year.4:49That's a six-figure salary. That's4:51excellent. And there's 252 trading days4:54per year. That means you need to average4:56$3964:58per trading day. Now, number one,5:00doesn't that sound a lot more reasonable5:03than everything you see online where5:05people post like 10K screenshots and5:07they show you these complex strategies5:09and for you as a beginner, it seems kind5:11of intimidating and overwhelming. And I5:14get it, right? When you're at the ground5:15floor, seeing all these massive5:17screenshots can be kind of scary, but5:19when you break it down, you need to make5:21$3965:23on average per day to have a six-figure5:25salary. And you don't need to make that5:27amount in one trade. You can make that5:29amount in multiple trades. And here's5:31the thing. Here's the true beauty behind5:34scalping. You don't need a high win rate5:37in order to make money. I am wrong all5:40the time. I probably have like a 40 to5:4350% win rate on most days. I do not have5:46over a 50% win rate, but I'm still able5:48to make money. Let me show you an5:49example.5:50This was from August 17th. Let's go5:52ahead and count. I had 15:5525:563 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 losing trades, losing6:01symbols. I had 1 2 3 4 5 6 winners. Six6:07winners versus like 10 losers. I had a6:09negative win rate. I did not even have6:11over a 50% win rate, yet I still made6:14$2,500. Now, $2,500 in the context of my6:17risk is about five risk units because my6:20maximum risk per trade is $500. And6:23we're going to talk about risk per trade6:25and sizing in just a second once we talk6:27about the risk management, but in other6:29words, I made five Rs that day. I made6:32five risk units. Take a look at this6:34day. This was on August 14th. I had 1 26:383 4 5 6 losing trades. I had 1 2 3 4 5 66:44winning trades. Basically, call it a 50%6:46win rate, but I made 5,000. I made 10 Rs6:48because my winners were significantly6:52larger than my losers. Look at how, you6:55know, small I kept my losses. My losses6:57were essentially nothing compared to my7:00winners. And that's the beauty of7:02scalping. With scalping, your R to R is7:05incredibly high. And I'm going to show7:07you the mechanics of that in just a7:09second. But first, I want to show you7:12this profit projection model. So, let's7:15say you risk $100 per trade. And let's7:18say you're taking seven trades per day.7:20If you're scalping, seven trades per day7:23is honestly kind of on the low side,7:25right? And keep in mind, we're on a7:26commission-free broker, so it doesn't7:28really matter how many trades we're7:29taking. But let's say you're taking7:30seven trades per day, and you have a7:33three to one R to R.7:36For me personally, on a lot of my7:37scalps, I'm averaging like a four to7:39five R to R. But let's say you have a7:41three to one reward to risk ratio on7:43your winners. And you have, let's say,7:45a 30% win rate. Let's Let's keep it7:48really low. 30% win rate, you're still7:50profitable. You're still making, in7:52theory, theoretically, you know, this is7:54just a projection, 35k per year, $1407:58per day, right? Now, [snorts] let's say8:00we keep these numbers the same and we8:01just increase the win rate to 35%. Well,8:04all of a sudden, you're making $280 a8:06day, right? Now, let's say you're able8:08to hit 40%. And by the way, 40% isn't8:10even that high. It's not like we're8:12talking about 70% to 80% win rates.8:15With a 40% win rate8:17>> [clears throat]8:17>> and these metrics,8:19you're making 420 bucks a day. You're8:21accomplishing that six-figure goal. Now,8:22this is just a projection. This8:24obviously isn't easy, right? I would say8:26the framework is simple, but it's not8:28easy. You obviously have to work hard.8:29There's risk involved, absolutely. But,8:31this is what you need to go for. Average8:33three-to-one R to R, you're taking seven8:35scalps a day, $100 risk, this is a8:37six-figure salary, right? Now, we're8:39going to return back to this projection.8:42And I now want to show you how I am able8:46to keep my losses incredibly small. Real8:48quick, before you continue, if you guys8:50do resonate with the content, make sure8:52you subscribe to this channel. I post a8:53ton of amazing trading education on my8:56YouTube. And make sure you take8:57advantage of my free 10-plus hour8:59trading course. It is honestly better9:01than most paid courses on the internet.9:03You can get access to that directly9:05below this video in the description. It9:06all comes down to risk management. Risk9:09management is by far the most important9:11skill set that you could have as a9:13trader. Your first job isn't to make9:15money. Your first job is to protect the9:17money that's already in your account.9:19I've been trading for 6 years. I have9:21not had a single losing month during my9:23entire career. I've had losing days.9:25I've had losing weeks, but I haven't had9:27a losing month because I am an9:29exceptional risk manager. I'm not the9:31best at finding the most explosive9:34stocks and managing them perfectly, but9:37I don't have to be, right? I'm really9:39good at risk management and specifically9:42limiting my losses. This is by far the9:45most important part, especially for9:48scalping. Limiting your losses on your9:51losing trades. Now, notice what I'm9:53saying. I'm not telling you to not have9:57losing trades. If you're scalping and if9:58you're taking quite a few trades per9:59day, you're going to have losers. It's10:02inevitable. Like I said, I have a 40 to10:0450% win rate, but you can limit your10:07losses on those losing trades, right?10:10And that's the separator between really,10:13really, really successful scalpers and10:16scalpers who end up losing money.10:18So, we're going to break that down in a10:20second, but let's go over some rules10:22when it comes to risk management. With10:25scalping, you want to avoid high10:26volatility names. You want to avoid10:28low-float stocks. You want to avoid a10:30lot of the big name brands because10:32they're really jumpy. They'll move up 2010:34cents, then down 30 cents, up 10 cents,10:36down 50 cents, right? They're way too10:39volatile. Like Apple, I can't scalp10:41Apple. Tesla, I can't scalp Tesla. I10:44can't scalp the QQQ or SPY. Like those10:47indexes, I can't scalp them because I10:49they're just too volatile, right?10:50They're too jumpy. I like to trade10:52stocks that are very smooth, continuous,10:55and that are trading with momentum, and10:57that have high volume, high liquidity,11:00and that are not jumpy. So, that's one11:02of the rules, high volume, no jumpy11:04stocks. This is big. Maximum 1 cent11:07spread. If a stock has more than 1 cent11:09spread, I will never scalp it, ever.11:12Like this is a massive, very, very11:14important rule. If a stock has more than11:161 cent spread, do not scalp it. Very,11:19very important. Now, when it comes to11:21sizing, I'm always sizing my trades or11:23my scalps specifically for a 3 to 1511:27cent stop loss. Now, this is a little11:29discretionary. It also comes down to the11:31setup that you're trading, and I'm going11:33to teach you a setup that you're going11:35to trade later on in this video, but11:37this is how I size my trades. Now, if11:39you're still confused on what that11:41means,11:42you always want to size your positions11:45correctly based off your risk. So, if11:48you get into a trade and it does hit11:50your stop loss and it does become a11:52losing trade, which will happen all the11:54time, you want to make sure you're11:56losing an amount that you're comfortable11:59with, right? So, you want to follow this12:02share sizing formula.12:04Risk divided by entry minus stop loss12:07price, right? This formula it's really12:09easy to understand, but let's say your12:11risk is $100 and let's say you want to12:13get in on a stock and the entry is at $312:17and the stop loss is at $2.90, meaning12:19when it hits your stop loss, you're out12:21of the trade, the trade is invalidated,12:24right? So, you just have to put in these12:26numbers and crunch them up with this12:28formula. Share size equals $100 divided12:31by 10 cents. $3 minus $2.90 equals 1012:34cents. $100 divided by 10 cents is 1,00012:38shares, okay?12:39So, in other words, if I buy 1,00012:41shares at three bucks and it hits my12:42stop at $2.90, I'm going to lose my12:45predetermined risk,12:46uh which is $100. Now, I created a12:48little calculator where I basically12:50inputted that formula and based off how12:55wide your stop is, it'll give you the12:57proper share size, right? So, let's say12:59your risk is $100.13:03If you have a 3 cent stop, that means13:05maximum you can get 3,33313:09uh shares. And keep in mind, I always13:11size my scalps for a 3 to 15 cent stop13:15loss, depending on the setup, depending13:17on my conviction, right? So, that means13:19whoops,13:203 to 15 cents.13:22If you have a $100 risk, this is going13:24to be your share size range when it13:26comes to scalping. Anywhere from let's13:28say 600 shares to like 3,300 shares.13:31That's going to be your range. You can't13:33go above that because then you're going13:35to be way too aggressive. And13:38again, we'll talk about how to decide13:40this in a second, but this is your13:42range, right? This is your share size13:44range for your $100 risk. Now, here's13:47the thing. If you don't want to start13:49off with a $100 risk, you don't have to.13:51You could start off scalping with a $513:54risk. This is what a lot of my students13:56do. When my students first start13:57trading, they don't go in risking 50 or14:00100 bucks per trade. They go in with14:01like $5 size, $10 size, right? So, let's14:04say you have $10 risk. That's the14:06maximum amount you want to lose on a14:09losing trade. That means this is what14:11your share size would be.14:1266 shares to 300, okay? And that's your14:15sizing to make sure you only lose $10,14:18you know, max on those losing trades.14:20But really,14:22the goal14:23is to try to trail a lot of your losing14:26trades to break even. And you also don't14:29want to overtrade. That's obvious, but14:30that's really That's really what's going14:33to make you a really profitable trader.14:35This is our edge, being able to trail a14:37lot of our losing scalps to break even.14:41Let's go back to the calculator so you14:43guys really understand how powerful this14:45is.14:46Let's go back to having a 30% win rate,14:49right? And remember how we said that uh14:52you know, $100 risk, seven trades per14:53day, three to one R to R, that's 14014:56bucks a day. But here's the thing.14:58Let's say, you know, if you have a 30%15:00win rate on seven trades per day, that15:02means15:04you have five losers, about15:05approximately.15:07Let's say on those five losers, you're15:09able to trail three of them to break15:12even where instead of losing $100, you15:14break even.15:15That means you would essentially be able15:17to add $30015:20to your total P&L because you're able to15:23limit your losses to break even on three15:26of those losers. So, on your five losing15:29trades, instead of losing 500, you're15:31only losing 200 because you're able to15:33trail to break even on three of them.15:35That means you would make right away15:37$44015:39on average per day just because you're15:42limiting your losses on your losing15:43trades to break even. And that's a15:46that's six figures. That that15:48accomplishes your goal at six figures.15:50So, this is critical. This is critical.15:52Limiting your losses, trailing to break15:54even. So, I use a very specific order15:56flow tool that allows me to limit my16:00losses on my losing trades, and I'm16:01going to show you exactly how it works16:03in just a second. But first, I want to16:05talk about the setup that you're16:07actually going to be trading and16:09scalping. And this is my favorite16:10strategy of all time. This is called the16:12base breakout {slash} breakdown. Why is16:16this my favorite? Number one, it's16:18pretty simple to understand. It's16:20straightforward to identify. And16:23something that you want to keep in mind16:24is that there are thousands of breakouts16:26and breakdowns that occur every single16:28day. Most of them fail. Most of them16:31fail because they're low quality. Our16:33job as traders is to find the high16:35quality breakouts and breakdowns. And by16:38the way, I have a ton of other videos on16:40my YouTube channel and in my free course16:42where I really go into detail about the16:45breakout and breakdown. So, make sure16:47you watch those videos. In this video,16:49it's going to be a little bit more16:50general just to save time. But this is a16:53consolidation pattern. Prices move up16:56and they base, they consolidate. Entry16:59over the highs of the base, stop loss17:01under the lows of the base. The idea is17:03that the high of the base kind of acts17:06as like a resistance area. So, as soon17:08as we break it, that's when we want to17:11time our entry. And our stop loss is17:13going to go below the base. This is our17:15invalidation point. So, if we move up17:18and if we move down and hit our stop17:20loss, we're going to get out here. But,17:22here's the thing. With scalping a lot of17:24the times,17:25if you get a breakout,17:27right? Often times, I am out17:30when we hit break even. So, I avoid17:33taking this loss. And again, I'm going17:35to show you how we do that in just a17:37second. But, this is the premise of the17:40setup. Now,17:42the number one quality that separates17:45really good base breakouts or breakdowns17:48from really bad ones is the tighter the17:50base, the better the base. We want a17:52really tight consolidation. We want to17:55avoid sloppy bases. We want it to be a17:57very tight range, a very tight range,18:00right? And we want it to be a long base.18:03So, the tighter the base and the longer18:05the base, the better the base. Okay, we18:07don't want to see sloppy and all over18:09the place and tails everywhere and18:11candles going up and down, right? We18:13want to see a tight, tightly ranged base18:16and a long base. Usually, the longer the18:19base, the longer the consolidation, the18:21greater the expansion. And the great,18:22you know, the bigger the breakout is18:24going to be. So, that's another18:25important part.18:27So, let's take a uh look at an example18:28from Friday.18:30This was on the BTBT. I was looking at18:32potentially scalping this, but take a18:34look at this base.18:35Is this a tight base or is this a sloppy18:38base? And it should be pretty obvious.18:40This is a super sloppy base. Up, down,18:42up, down. There's tails everywhere. It's18:45you know, green, red, green, red, green,18:47green, red, red, green. Like, it's like18:49Christmas lights, right? Sloppy all over18:51the place. You know, and the R to R18:54isn't all that high because the entry18:56would be below the base.18:57Stop loss, let's say above the base. So,18:59that means entry at like 151, stop loss19:02at like 157. That's a 6 cent stop.19:05That's not really a tight stop when it19:07comes to a breakdown. On top of that, it19:10was into the 200 SMA. so it was right19:13into support and we hit it earlier in19:15the day and we bounced right off of it19:17and now we're right back into it. So,19:19we're also into an area of support. So,19:21not a good setup, not a good19:23consolidation. Now, take a look at this19:25one and I actually caught this trade19:27earlier in the year.19:29This is just an excellent example to19:30show you. This I I made about 1,20019:33bucks on this play. This is the PROP.19:36Take a look at this. Isn't this a very19:38clean base? Look how we stair-stepped19:40lower. Dropped, based, dropped, based,19:43dropped, based. We had a little failure19:45here, then we continued to base,19:47dropped, based, dropped, really long19:51base, really tight base and right into19:55the 20 SMA and boom, we dropped. Now,19:59this doesn't seem like a big drop, but20:02you know, I got in right here at 102,20:04stop 104 or 105. I think I had like 1020:07or 11,000 shares. I was risking about20:09300 bucks on this trade. Um, and it made20:12me 1,200, right? So, it was like a four20:15reward-to-risk type of trade. So, this20:18was an excellent setup. Now,20:20how did I know it was going to drop at20:22that point and how would I be able to20:24limit my losses on this trade? Well, now20:27we're going to be using order flow. So,20:29we're going to be using thinkorswim on20:31demand. This is a very powerful20:33backtesting software that allows you to20:36go back in time and essentially trade20:38something as if it's happening in real20:40time. So, it's an excellent tool to20:41practice. A lot of my students practice20:44their scalping over the weekends using20:47on demand. So, let's take a look at the20:49PROP. We'll start off looking at the20:51daily time frame. Daily time frame,20:54super bearish, breaking down. We have a20:57drop, consolidation. We're breaking down21:00on the daily, so we have a bearish bias.21:02And on the one, two minute, five minute,21:04and 15 minute, it is downtrending and21:07basing at the lows. In fact, we have21:10what's called a one penny base where the21:12top of this range is 103, the bottom of21:16the range is 102. That's a one penny21:18base, or you can call it even maybe a21:20two penny base, but regardless, it's a21:21very very tight base. From here, we look21:26at the level two order flow. This is a21:28very basic tool that's available on21:31essentially every US brokerage, and it21:34shows you a lot of interesting21:36information, and we do a lot of scalping21:38off the level two.21:39So, we have the bid at 102. The bid is21:42the best price the buyers are willing to21:44buy at. We have the ask at 103. This is21:47the best price the sellers are willing21:49to sell at. Think of it like shopping on21:51eBay, how you have There's people that21:53place bids for different stuff that they21:56sell on eBay, then the seller has an21:58offer of what they're willing to sell it21:59for. So, there's bids and offers on22:01eBay. It's kind of very very similar.22:02The level two shows you those bids and22:05offers in the stock market and on22:07individual stocks. So, you're also going22:09to have BS, AS. This is bid size. This22:12is ask size. So, think of it as buying22:15pressure versus selling pressure. Now, I22:17want you to look at this and ask22:18yourself, is there more selling pressure22:21or is there more buying pressure? Well,22:23it should be obvious. There's22:25significantly more selling pressure than22:27buying pressure. And keep in mind, this22:29is a base breakdown setup where we make22:33money if prices go down. So, I went22:36short on this setup because the selling22:38pressure is really strong. It's22:40consolidating at the lows. It's a very22:42bearish daily time frame, and the bid is22:45very very weak. So, as long as this bid22:48continues to weaken, I have high22:50conviction prices are going to go down.22:52And at some point, the level two looked22:54like this where the buying pressure22:56diminished even more. And at this point,22:59I I hammering the sell button, and I'm23:02looking to go short. And at this point,23:04the bid is so weak that it's going to be23:06any moment until it actually breaks down23:09and goes below 102 to 101 on the bid,23:13and then 102 on the offer. And there it23:15goes. Now, notice even here at 102, the23:19offer, the selling pressure is really,23:21really strong. The buying pressure is23:24nonexistent. So, where is it going to23:25go? Most likely to the downside. And23:28this is how I'm able to trail my trades23:31to break even because at this point, now23:34that we dropped a penny, I'm breaking23:36even, right? Because of the spread. So,23:38if this offer weakens, I can get out and23:42basically just break even on the trade,23:44and it'll be a free trade because I used23:46the level two to time my entry, and it23:48immediately went in my favor. And even23:51here at 101, the bid is really weak. The23:53offer, the selling pressure is really23:55strong. It's very likely that we're23:56going to continue lower, and that's23:58exactly what happened. And this stock23:59ended up dropping all the way to like 9424:02cents. I think even more, maybe even24:03like 92 cents. And I was able to stay in24:06because that offer, the selling24:08pressure, was consistently strong. Now,24:10let's take a look at an example of a24:12trade that was a long, that was a buy24:15opportunity off of the level two. Now,24:18we'll start off with the daily time24:19frame. This was the BTCT this past24:22Thursday, and this stock retraced back24:24to the 200 SMA and into the prior day's24:28high. You could see that on the24:2915-minute time frame. It retraced back24:32to the prior high, which is going to act24:34as an area of support. So, I found this24:36area to be very interesting to look for24:39a potential long. So, from there, I24:41found a setup on the 5-minute time24:43frame. Now, this wasn't the cleanest24:46base, but we have a 1-2-3 pattern. I24:49call it right here. Some people call it24:50the ABC pattern, where24:52you have an igniting bar, resting bar,24:54and then triggering bar. So, I called24:56this as a trade over $1.38,24:59stop loss 130. One of my students25:02absolutely printed off of this setup.25:04I'm going to post the screenshot on the25:06screen right now. I actually missed it.25:09I literally got distracted by a like25:11millisecond and I ended up missing this25:13trade. But, let's go ahead and break25:15down the level two. So, let's take a25:17look at the level two. What do we want25:18to see if we are buying this stock? If25:21we're looking to go long, what do we25:23want to see? We want to see the bid25:26start to weaken. We want to see a lot25:28more buyers and we want to see a lot25:30less selling pressure. And as soon as I25:33see that, what I can do is place a buy25:36order at $1.35.25:39And we could actually maybe even do that25:40together using this backtesting25:43software. So,25:44I want to see the buying start to kind25:47of beefen up. I want to see the buyers25:49start to come in at 134 and I want to25:51see the selling diminish at 135, right?25:55And notice what's starting to happen.25:57You see how now we have that 10K bid?25:59And notice how the offer is going to26:02begin weakening, right? See how it's26:05kind of getting hit?26:06Where now we have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 926:10bids,26:11but we we only have 1 2 3 4 5 6 offers.26:14We have three more bids than offers. So,26:17you're seeing that imbalance shift to26:19the buying side and this is exactly26:21where I can look to go long. And that26:25was actually pretty great timing, but26:26boom, the stock jumped up as soon as you26:30saw the bid start to really grow26:33stronger and the offer, the selling26:35pressure start to diminish. And even26:37here, it's still overall the imbalance26:41is favoring the buyers even though we26:43have this one large sell order. If this26:46sell order begins to diminish, it's very26:48likely we're going to continue higher.26:50But, look at this. My average price is26:52at 135. I just timed my entry in a way26:55where I'm immediately in the money or at26:58least breaking even. At this point, I27:00could just place my stop loss at 135 and27:03no matter what, I'll break even. It's27:05almost a free trade. And I want you to27:07notice27:09the imbalance between the buying27:11pressure and the selling pressure as the27:13stock starts to move higher. Check this27:15out.27:17See how the offer's weakening and right27:19there, you saw how the bid got stronger27:21and then it popped a penny and even here27:23at 139, really strong bid, weak offer.27:27Where our price is going to go? Very27:29likely to the upside, right? Look at the27:31bid getting stronger, popped another27:34penny. The bid really strong.27:37There's another penny. There's another27:38penny and then it just starts to pop.27:40Boom, now it's at 48. And look, there's27:42a lot of selling at 48. But, there's27:45also a lot of buying at 47. So, if this27:47selling diminishes, it's very likely27:50this stock is going to continue to the27:52upside. Right? So, watch this selling27:55diminish.27:56And it might just go fast. And look at27:58how strong the buying pressure is.28:01And this stock28:03will end up probably breaking above 148.28:07And I actually saw this live. And this28:09was just an amazing amazing scalp.28:12Really really great setup.28:13Right there. You saw how the bid28:15weakened. I tried to pause it in time,28:17but you saw how the bid or sorry, you28:19saw how the offer weakened at 148. Let28:22me go back28:23like 5 seconds and you'll see exactly28:26what I'm talking about.28:28But, notice how the offer weakens right28:30there.28:31And how the bid is really strong and it28:33just pops. It went It goes pretty fast.28:35And now it's at 150.28:37And sometimes it's going to flip around28:39a little bit, but still the overall28:41imbalance is still favoring the buyers,28:44right? And and just continuing to pop.28:46And at this point you could raise your28:47stop,28:48right?28:49Maybe as soon as this 1-minute bar28:52finishes forming, you could raise your28:54stop to let say 47.28:58Send that over and now your stop is at29:0047.29:02Right? And boom, this thing just popped29:04like crazy. And maybe right there on29:06that pop, you just take profit. You're29:08out. Right? You're out.29:11And I mean, obviously it's simulated29:13money. It's paper trading, right? Like I29:15didn't actually catch this trade. I wish29:17I did. My students caught it, but29:19right? Like if you got 5K shares29:22at 135,29:24let's say stop loss at 130, that's 529:26cents. That's a 5 cent stop. You're29:28risking 5 cents on 5,000 shares, that's29:31$250.29:33You just risked $250 to potentially29:36catch a trade that makes you 1,500.29:39And that's why scalping is so powerful.29:42The R to R is incredible, especially if29:45you're able to time your entry right29:47before the stock begins to break out.29:49Quick disclaimer, guys, not every level29:51two is going to be as readable as the29:53BTCT and the PROP was. That's the art of29:57it, finding high-quality level two order30:00flow opportunities where you can trail30:02your losses to break even and you can30:04catch high R to R winners, but that's30:06exactly what we do in my mentorship30:09every single day.
