Okay, so if you've watched one of my videos before, you've likely seen one of these ads. to see how you can potentially earn thousands of dollars every day before the market even opens. And because they make some bold claims I decided in this video I'm going to give you my reaction to them. So the goal of this video was originally to pull up a bunch of different ads from different core salesmen or different trading guru type people.

Unfortunately though, when I was in the process of painstakingly clicking on random trading videos to get these ads, I only came across about 93 trading ads and 91 of them came from this one person. my parents thought I was selling drugs I wasn't I was day trading stocks. Listen, his ads came up over and over and over. In fact, one time I even tried clicking on a Penguin waddling video hoping to get a different ad, but he followed me there nonetheless.

So anyways, in this video, I'm just going to react to what I was given. but I do want to take a moment to be completely clear and straightforward. The reactions in these videos aren't reviews on services being advertised, they're just reactions to the ads based on my own experience. So in other words, it's an opinion.

But anyways, let's get into it. I'm going to be giving my reaction and by the way, I stole this video idea from Graham Stephan So if you want to see more content like this, go check out Graham Steffen channel. He did a great job reacting to different advertisers, so everybody's always asking me how people always ask me Charlie how are you nailing the bottoms and the tops on these stocks and I Tell them wizardry. It's wizardry.

But who is this woman like? Why does this woman need to be in the ad? Does she know the strategy? Did this guy teach her the strategy and she wants to keep it a secret? That's why she's doing the little lip thing. Maybe she should sell her own trading program to make money in any market in the first hour of each day with uncanny accuracy. precision. Okay, so he says he makes money in any market in the first hour of each day.

That's a fair claim, as most of the good price action does tend to happen in the first 30 minutes of mark and open because that's when you have all the volume and you have a lot of the catalyst starting to get factored in if they didn't get factored in premarket. So I think that's fair. That is sort of like the golden hour of day training. and if you're a day trader, that is one of the best times to take an entry point.

But the part about uncanny accuracy and precision? Well, that just that sounds kind of uncanny. I wonder how he's able to pinpoint the exact top and the exact bottom on stocks? Do you think perhaps he's taking really risky positions Oh Minimal risk. Oh oh, you teaser you teaser. Okay, but to react to the idea that you can get uncanny precision and accuracy when it comes to timing the tops and the bottoms.

I Just want to say this: as traders, we simply can't time the tops in the bottom. So the goal of being a trainer is really just to grab most of the move most of the time In a probability game, which is the stock market. you can't predict a hundred percent of what's going to happen. How do you predict what thousands and hundreds of thousands of institutional shares are going to go, what direction they're going to go in, so instead to grab most of the move most the time.

We use what's called risk management criteria that allows us to take most of the upside while also protecting against risk of downside. For example, in the case of this Microsoft earnings move, my risk management would allow me to hold Intel validation, which is the point where the price action breaks the SMA line. That's the point where we're like, okay, well, this dip is serious enough to signify that we are heading for a reversal, but waiting for that also means giving up some of the upside since the top was here. Now I'm not saying that you have to have confirmation and validation in order to pick most of the move most the time, but what is the instrument that you're using? What is the tool or strategy that you're using to 100% get to that top Like well, how do you know exactly when hundreds of thousands of institutions are going to go and say okay, we're all gonna sell right now.

How are you able to figure out when the trend changes to the T You could see a overall movement and say okay, well, on average it's going down. Reading is a probability game, so there's never a con top that just doesn't Doesn't make any sense, but to be fair, at the same time, he isn't claiming that he has perfect accuracy. He's claiming that he has uncanny accuracy and precision. Just needs to be more precise than what he thinks the average is for him to say that, right.

So it's kind of an opinion thing, so we'll give him a pass on that. But let's go ahead and learn more about his strategy. That's right, boy, and we may go bye-bye by that. I Short into them for the pullback.

So if you're losing money, it's because you're following the wrong people I Can guarantee you that right now, huh? So all you have to do is buy when others are selling and sell when others are buying. Okay, but this seems to be a popular variation on the phrase be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy. It's really the logic of doing the opposite of what the herd does and it makes sense that I sort of understand where he's coming from with this because at the end of the day, every reaction is an over reaction. So stocks that run a massively are much more likely to get beat down heavily after that original run up.

Just like stocks that run down massively are likely to run up and correct after that, well, original beat down. Okay, and I also agree with him that chasing stocks that are going up a hundred percent. Two hundred percent Chasing stocks that are gapping up and showing momentum. That's a losing proposition because you're buying it when it's overpriced, Buy stocks when they're a good deal and have already been beat down below charter territory, but at the same time, if we're being honest, the idea that you can just buy when people are selling and sell when people are buying is very overly simplistic and in in practice I mean there's a lot more to it than that.

But this is an ad, so it's kind of just like saying oh by the dip But maybe you can prove me wrong How much money is he making Doing this this week? Well, six thousand dollars of cash? Really like. What's the point of carrying sixty thousand dollars in cash in your backpack? What are you trying to do with that money? Are you gonna go and bribe a bear like, well, what do you do with sixty thousand in the middle of a forest? Imagine going to a bank in the middle of this crisis to go cash out sixty thousand in cash so that you can then go and put it in your backpack and then film it for an ad that you're about to put on. YouTube Like, what? Who does that? That's some serious commitment and I commend him for that one second And talk about fake. Okay, talk about the guys who wear those fancy suits and talk like this.

Smile like this and they feel comfortable and they bombard you with the garbage and garbage. Garbage. Sell, Sell, Sell these absolute garbage penny stocks moving average, crossovers, breakouts. Mikey Okay, I'm not going to comment on his trading guru with a suit comment, but I will of course comment on the penny stocks and indicators comment that he made.

So he often says in his ads that penny stocks and indicators are scams and garbage and or a waste of your time. Let me just explain the flaw in this logic: When you were saying that a penny stock is a scam, what is it that you're referring to? Because the IRS designates a penny stock is anything trading below five dollars. But if you're in this price range, what you're referring to when you talk about penny stocks is you're making a blanket statement that all stocks, regardless of what's going on with the stock, is a scam that includes ones that are going through the FDA approval process, ones that had huge catalysts, ones that are listed on the Nasdaq or NYSC or other ones that have other great opportunities. You're mixing them up with all the ones that are like five sensors one hundredth of a cent.

But some of the best opportunities actually come from the sector. By the way, these weren't just random penny stocks that I found to call out. these are actually all ones that we've spoken about on this channel and are in our nightly zip trader circle Watchlist point is I Know that a lot of people think penny stocks are a scam because of all the bad publicity that comes out on penny stocks, but again, that's really just uninformed and naive now at the same time. I Understand why people wouldn't want to trade penny stocks.

There are a lot more spiky and not everybody likes spikey bikes or fun if you're on the right side of the move. but then they can go down massively. but at the same time, just because you don't know trade something doesn't mean that it's a scam. But I Also, don't live under a rock.

So I know the whole point of this. Him saying that indicators or a penny stocks don't work the whole point is just so they feel like his system is the only one that works. You see this all the time. Whenever somebody has a strategy and they feel like they need to put down all the other strategies, it's usually because they want to get you into that box without like, oh, this is the only one that works for you.

So he says indicators are trashed. They're garbage. You should throw them out. This is why you're losing money because 99% of traders use these fake indicators.

I Actually hear this quite a lot. That indicators are just this thing that people made up to make money. No indicators actually don't predict anything. What they do is they take the current price action and they display it in a way that makes it easier to analyze it.

So when somebody tells you that Oh Indicators don't work because they don't tell you when to buy and sell. Know their purpose wasn't to tell you when to buy and sell, it was to give you another idea of how to look at the price action. This is again one of those things where people are just naive, misinformed. They have no idea how things work.

So it's like, oh, it doesn't work. No, it doesn't work in the way you think that it's supposed to work. But we'll give him a pass just because of his two beautiful steps of selling. When others are buying and buying on, others are selling.

and you know what? At least we know he's humble. Okay, not super humble. But let's get into the numbers here. Okay, so he talks about making fifty thousand dollars a day.

Listen, The only way to make consistent profits: the market and split for two to five percent trades every single day the first half an hour of the morning, regardless of whether it's a bull bear or shopping environment and keeping your risk as minimized as possible. Okay, so he does that by targeting two to five percent moves during the first hour. Sometimes he says first 30 minutes, sometimes he says first hour, but he does that by targeting the first two to five percent moves during the first hour. Okay, so most of the companies he talks about seem to be Disney Facebook and Apple mainstream companies that people all know so they feel comfortable with it.

I make two to five percent trading stocks every single day playing real liquid names like and Disney how press the button below I'll teach all this year for free I Can't help but be reminded by the wolf of Wall Street when Jordan Belfort would go and he'd sell people really sketchy stocks. but what he do is he'd start them with big names so he'd be like oh, you know you've heard of Disney you've heard of Walmart Yeah, these are great stocks that you should buy and then they'd buy those and then he'd get them in with the shittier stocks later on. Now, obviously he doesn't profit if you buy stocks, but my thinking here is he tries to get you in with the same tactic where you get really comfortable with him. you get really comfortable because everybody knows Disney or Apple and then you're like ok, well hey, I can make 2 to 5 percent per day.

That's the easiest way. But the problem is that on most days Facebook, Disney and Apple all these big mainstream stocks that he says he's trading for 5% a day. they don't have that sort of movement in the first hour or at all during the day, maybe during the worst days of the crisis or during the biggest recoveries, but they don't have that on average. So I don't really know what he's talking about in terms of 5% but we'll just say that I'm stupid and that you know my charts are all broken.

Ok, so let's just do some math here. If you make the upper end of what he's talking about, let's say 5% and you catch the entire move by simply buying one of those, or selling and selling what others are buying. that would require a capital investment, a short-term investment each day of 1 million dollars in order to return that $50,000 per day that he's talking about. And that's if you're getting the 5% return.

So in this situation, you'd like to need about three to four million dollars in trading capital just for capital allocation so that you can do this each and every day regardless of the margin and the settlement times. Because when you buy stocks, you have to deal with that settlement time, which is usually T2, So that means it's going to take two days for you for the cash to get back into your account after it settles now. I Don't I Don't know if he's making $50,000 per day or not. Maybe he's making 50,000 Maybe he's making a lot more than 50,000.

I I Don't know. So I'm not making a judgment call there. I'm just saying that it's a little bit misleading if you're trying to say that you know you take these two steps and then you start making 50,000 per day. But that's just me.

But Charlie 5% is a lot of money. That's a lot regardless of the capital that you're using. And again, I'm not even doubting his strategy. I'm just saying that training is a lot more nuanced and complicated that he makes it look in these advertisements at the end of the day.

One of the things that I've had a huge focus on is sort of not advertising a certain amount of money that you can make with something because I know that everybody's different. Everybody brings a different set of motivations to the table. So if you advertise how much money someone can make with a trading strategy or with some sort of risk management, what you're doing is you're just not creating a realistic picture because everyone's going to have a different result. Hey, Tina income number is is sort of like totally negating all of the years of hard work and effort that you put into learning how to be a trader.

There's tons of Tears pain. There's a lot of pain that goes into becoming a trader and many years that that go into actually learning the process and just beating yourself over the back of your head so that you can learn and stop being stubborn. Pay attention, take notes. There's a good chance that you can come a profitable trader as well.

Oh Susan totally negates that. It makes you think that you can get that by just buying a course. and I don't think that's the best way to go about getting people to work with you or to be your students. But if it works for him, good for him.

It's just not for me. that's green and blue. I Can enjoy the screen blue pretty well. Green and blue.

I Like green blue. It's almost like he became a trading monk in this video, you know? I actually found myself starting to relate to him a few hours into watching his advertisements. He seems like a long lost much tanner brother of mine from a different lifetime. But in this lifetime, well, I'm just going to have to settle for Bind when others are selling and selling when others are buying.

Okay folks, Well, this is my reaction to trading video ads unfortunately: I am sorry that it turned into this thing where I'm just reacting to one guy I wanted to react to a bunch of different creators, but this is the only one that came up most of the time. There's a few other ones they came up but they were so boring and this guy makes very engaging ads. so I thought you know what? I'm gonna react to it and again, everything in this video is my opinion and at the end of the day I am another creator in the trading niche I Also have a course that I also have my own strategy so it doesn't really make sense for me to comment on the viability of his strategy I was just making generalizations as to what he presents and his abs I don't know how good his course is I don't know how good his students are or whatever and I hope they do well, right? But at the end of the day he does advertise a ton on YouTube and many, many people have watched my videos have seen his ads. Maybe one of those ads even appeared on this video I don't know but I just wanted to give my thoughts on this and give my interpretation because I know a lot of people were asking for it and I hope you enjoyed this video Anyways, folks, let me know if you have any questions down below, let me know what you think and if you would like to keep up to date with us and all of our picks, you can join us at Zip Trader Circle.
