Day Trading for Beginners

• Momentum Trading - I'm Using This Strategy While I Wait to Day Trade

  Hi and welcome back to the Day Trading For Beginners podcast! I’m Tyler Stokes from StokesTrades.com, and this is Season 3, Episode 6. Today, I’m breaking down momentum trading, the strategy I’m using in my real money challenge from last week. I’m a beginner on a journey to become a full-time trader, but with my schedule, day trading’s not something I can actively do at the moment. So I'm gaining experience with this strategy.Download the 6 Month Blueprint: https://stokestrades.com/blueprintTradingView Charting Software: Start a free trial hereTraderSync Trading Journal: Visit the official website hereResources Mentioned:Our Community on Skool: Come join us hereWhat I CoveredMomentum Trading Basics: What it is and how it differs from day trading.Why I Chose It: My schedule led me to this slower, less stressful approach.How It Works: Buy at support, ride the trend, hold for bigger moves.Tools I Use: Market structure, moving averages, and more—simple stuff!Key TakeawaysMomentum trading is about catching strong bull trends—higher highs, higher lows—buying at support when buyers are in charge. Think wealth-building, not quick flips! I stumbled into it because day trading’s fast pace doesn’t fit my life right now (kids, family, etc.). This strategy mixes swing trading vibes—holding days, weeks, or longer. That being said, you CAN trade this strategy on shorter time frames.How I do it: Spot bullish structure, buy low at support zones (using tools like Fibonacci, Ichimoku Cloud), and set limit orders at night—no daily stress!It’s slower than day trading (fast profits, in-and-out) but simpler for beginners IMO. You don’t need to watch every tick—just ride the trend and be patient.Tie-in: My real money challenge (updates in my Skool Group) uses this strategy—see my trades in action!Why It MattersDay trading’s the end goal (at least I think it is right now), but momentum trading fits my reality—less time, less pressure, and still profitable if the trend’s right. For beginners, it’s a gentler start: no lightning-fast moves, just spotting trends and holding on. It’s teaching me patience, planning, and market structure—skills I’ll carry to day trading later. Plus, with markets shaky now (tariffs, flash crashes), buying support could pay off big down the road—not financial advice, just my take!Final ThoughtsI hope this peek into momentum trading helps! It’s not as flashy as day trading (still my goal!), but it’s working for me—slower, calmer, and wealth-focused. Markets are wild right now, but that’s where support zones shine. Join the Skool Group and follow my real trades and see this strategy play out.

• From Panic to Profit - What Tesla’s $101 Drop Teaches Newbies

  Hi and welcome back to the Day Trading For Beginners podcast! I’m Tyler Stokes from StokesTrades.com, and today I’m digging into why markets wear you down and breaking down support zones for new traders. I recorded this on Monday, March 24, 2025—a green day after a rough month. In my last episode, I talked about liquidity grabs, predicting March might end with a rebound. Before that, I covered market structure and high-timeframe support. Now, as we head into April, I’m tying it all together—did March’s dip hold as a base? By the time you hear this, we’ll know if the market bounced back. Either way, I’m here to explain why these ups and downs test your patience and how understanding support zones can keep you sane.Download the 6 Month Blueprint: https://stokestrades.com/blueprintTradingView Charting Software: Start a free trial hereTraderSync Trading Journal: Visit the official website hereResources Mentioned:Our Community on Skool: Come join us hereWhat I CoveredWhy Markets Exhaust You: How constant testing of support zones messes with your head.Support Zones 101: What they are and why they’re key for beginners.Famous Quotes: Wisdom from Warren Buffett and John Maynard Keynes to guide you.Capitulation Explained: What it looks like when traders give up—and why it might signal a bottom.Real Example: My own Tesla capitulation moment in 2023 and what I learned.Key TakeawaysMarkets wear you down by repeatedly testing support zones—think of them as invisible floors (e.g., $45 for a stock) where buyers step in, but the price keeps dipping back to test it. It’s like a ball bouncing over and over, asking, “Will this hold?”I love Warren Buffett’s line: “The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.” If you panic-sell at $45 fearing a drop to $40, patient traders win when it rebounds to $48 or higher.Then there’s John Maynard Keynes’ warning: “The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” If $45 breaks and drops to $35 for months, you might run out of cash or nerve—especially on margin.Capitulation is when everyone panics and sells (e.g., a break from $45 to $40, then $30). It’s scary, but often marks a bottom—like Tesla’s $101 low in January 2023 after a 65% drop, only to rebound to $173 by month-end. I sold some shares there and learned the hard way!Right now, March 24th feels like a test. If support holds and we’re green into April, it’s a win for patience over panic—maybe even a liquidity grab bottom from last episode.Why It MattersTrading’s a mental game as much as a numbers game. Markets test support to shake out the impatient—market makers love this, scooping up cheap shares while we fret. For beginners, knowing this helps you stay calm, spot patterns, and avoid selling low or betting too big.

• Liquidity Grabs and Market Makers - Decoding Market Tricks

  Hi and welcome back to the Day Trading For Beginners podcast! I’m Tyler Stokes from StokesTrades.com, and this is Season 3, Episode 3. Today, I’m talking about liquidity grabs and market makers—two concepts that might sound mysterious but are key to understanding wild price swings. If you’ve ever wondered what a liquidity grab is or who these “market makers” are that people keep talking about, I’ve got you covered.Download the 6 Month Blueprint: https://stokestrades.com/blueprintTradingView Charting Software: Start a free trial hereTraderSync Trading Journal: Visit the official website hereResources Mentioned:Our Community on Skool: Come join us hereWhat I CoveredLiquidity Grabs Explained: What they are, why they happen, and how they look on a chart.Market Makers Unmasked: Who these big players are and how they pull the strings.Triggers: How stop-loss orders and leverage liquidations fuel these moves.Real-World Context: Why March 2025’s sell-off might just be a scare tactic by market makers.Beginner Tips: How to spot these patterns and avoid panic-selling or chasing highs.Key TakeawaysI define a liquidity grab as a sharp price detour—dropping below support or spiking past resistance—to scoop up shares or cash, then snap back like nothing happened. Picture a net grabbing what’s available!These moves often tie to stop-loss orders (e.g., a $49.50 stop below $50 support triggers a sell-off) and leverage liquidations (e.g., Bitcoin dropping from $100K to low $70Ks forces margin sales).Market makers are the heavy hitters—like Citadel Securities, big banks (JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs), or exchange specialists—keeping markets flowing with deep pockets and fast tech. They spot order clusters and push prices to trigger them, grabbing shares cheap or selling high.Right now, I see this in action: Bitcoin’s fall to the $70Ks and Tesla’s dip to the low $200s might be market makers scaring retail traders into selling low—only to rebound later.My advice? Don’t panic-sell at support or chase all-time highs—understanding this can turn confusion into opportunity.Why It MattersAfter a year of studying charts, I’ve learned these swings aren’t random. Market makers exploit fear and greed, especially in the short term, to profit or manage inventory. For beginners, grasping this helps you see past the noise—whether it’s a news scare or a sudden drop—and stick to your strategy. Long-term, fundamentals win, but short-term, these players can shake things up!Final ThoughtsI hope this clears up liquidity grabs and market makers for you! It’s wild to think this month’s sell-off could just be a big wick by April—proof that fear doesn’t always mean a bear market.
