Trading Mechanics

I've put together a video series over on YouTube — not just day-to-day trading activity anymore, but material that an aspiring trader can watch, think about, and hopefully learn something from about how I believe things work in trading.

The first video discusses the easy-to-spot pinbar. I started here because the formation is exactly that: easy to spot. From there, the discussion can develop.

The second video covers double bar formations — engulfing bar, harami, dark cloud cover, and piercing pattern — how they're variations of each other, and the importance of understanding levels.

The third video covers placement of stops and how I like to do it. Learning what a price action formation looks like is one thing — knowing how and when to lock a trade in is something else, and very much needed.

Trading is best done slowly. It takes time, and it's important that it's done correctly — but done that way, the results can be quite remarkable.
