  4. So a lot of your videos have your P&L at like $20. Besides the fact that you're probably better off working AT the companies your trading (you'll make more money), let's assume you're trading small to learn. Even with a discount broker like IB that charges $1 per 100 shares, it still seems like the amounts your trading will ultimately get eaten up by fees unless you are consistently winning. Am I missing something here?

    He is trading liquid stocks which means he can easily increase the size once he gets better/consistent. BTW, you can get much better rates than $1/100 even with IB.

  7. Even when trading 100 shares at a time??? Where?

    CP, I checked the vid in 2x speed. Made it through the first 2 minutes, then I went to the end to hear what you had to say in summary.

    Not sure who the target audience is, or your motive for sharing sessions. You state "hopefully you enjoy and learn something" so I assume it's to help newbies, or gain a following.

    I think would be more attention-grabbing if you did voice commentary (explain the thought process you had around your entry times). Could condense the videos down to just the moments of your setups and briefly discuss what you "saw".

    Gonna be a bit more time consuming on your end. Much easier to overlay the music tracks and be done with it. But if the goal is to increase subscribers, probably more effective to add personal commentary.

    Or, add a table of contents in the vid description so people can quickly jump to the moment of each trade.

    example:
    trade 1 1:52
    trade 2 4:35
    trade 3 7:18

    Just some thoughts from a random viewer. Good luck.

  10. Ah, thanks. Still $1.40 a round trip for 100 shares, but that IS less than $1 per trade.
