So as always questions, comments, leave them below.
Hit that subscribe button if you haven't already and I'll see you guys for the next episode. Alright, get into it I Hope you guys enjoy what's up everyone? All right? So we're gonna do 2019 urine review here. This is my mmm, fourth or fifth attempt at putting this together. I'm kind of struggling with it because 2019 in a lot of ways was an incredible year.
I The million dollar milestone turning $583 into a million bucks. but I was also left feeling a little disappointed because I know I could have done so much better and so I want to try to take some of that disappointment and some of the things I was disappointed with and and and just you know, not satisfied with and turn that into goals and things that I can do to make 2020 a better year because I think ultimately all of us at one time or another in our career to be traders will have months where we feel like I really missed the boat on a bunch of great opportunities. All right I bought this stock at the absolute worst place and I'm probably the only person in the world that lost money on it and the only thing you can do is turn those losses into lessons to help you become a better trader. So we're gonna talk about that today as I kind of break down the highlights and also some of the well, some of the low points of 2019.
So to give you kind of a breakdown, as many of you guys know, 2017 I started the $583 account challenge in 2017 I grew that account from $583 to 335 thousand in 2018 I grew it from 335 up to 834 and in 2019 I grew it from 834 up to 1.2 million dollars and that's where I finished at the end of December and the account is continuing to grow. The million Dollar Challenge: You know it wasn't like I'm gonna turn the account into a million dollars and then stop trading or earth start over it for me is just that was a milestone that I wanted to cross. The next one is, you know I don't know two million or whatever. it's just I just want to keep growing the account and growing the total profit that I've made from this tiny initial starting balance. So the topics that we're gonna cover here today in this video crossing the million dollar in profits Milestone: the big ups, the big downs Rollercoaster trading which was really kind of the theme of 2019 to read: months that was not fun trading Rehab A new small account challenge that many of you guys were watching during the month of December which set a new record for me and then we'll talk a little bit about 2020 and beyond. Alright, so let's start with completing the $583 challenge. Now, why did I date trade with only five hundred eighty three dollars? Alright, Well, how did I and then why did I So number one: there's a lot of ways that you can trade with small accounts. Many of you guys have seen me do a small account challenge with T V-- Ameritrade.
You can set up an account with 500 bucks with TD Ameritrade and you can start trading so that's not really a super hard thing. However, if you want a day trade more than three times a week and use a margin account, then you're probably gonna look at offshore brokers whether they're in Europe or they're in the Caribbean I chose a broker in the Caribbean I started with depositing seven hundred dollars and I had traded with that broker about a year prior to starting this challenge. when I did a short one month challenge and at the end of or sort of at the middle of the month I finished my challenge and then I cleared out the account I took all my money out of the account and left it was zero. At the end of the month, the account was charged a software and platform fee and was left with a negative balance.
They never emailed me or reached out to me to fulfill the balance so I didn't And then when I deposited $700 in December of 2016 leading up to this new small account challenge, Well, as it turned out, you know they, then you know I had my negative balance. So what was left was one hundred eighty three dollars and fifteen cents and then in the first forty four days, I turned that account into a hundred grand. Now the goal that I had set for myself for 2017 was to turn 583 dollars into a hundred grand, but I thought it would take me the entire year. I knew the first twenty five thousand dollars would sort of be the hardest.
and just because trading with an account as small as Five Hundred Eighty Three dollars, you just don't have a lot of buying power and so it's It's hard to grow and account quickly so we can just look here at let's see 228 2017 Zoom in here. This was the month of January the first the first month which ended up being a really great month. On the first day, I made one hundred twenty-five bucks. One hundred eighty Seven dollars.
So you know that's what made me think man, two hundred dollars a day, that's fifty thousand dollars a year. If I can turn this into a hunger grande by the end of the year, I'm gonna be. that's gonna be pretty good. But towards the end of the month, you know I started having bigger days. a thousand dollars, nineteen hundred, two thousand, three hundred seventy five hundred a red day here and then I'll switch back here and going into February Don't let me switch back here. Oh here we go going into: February I had a $4,000 day, then a $15,000 day and now the account was really growing fast. So why was I able to start stepping it up so quickly? Well, this is the way it goes when you trade with margin and leverage. So the account that I set up because it was offshore even with $500 I was allowed to have leverage and March So that meant when I deposited 500, I had 500 times 6 of buying power.
so I had $3,000 of buying power on day one. So now by day, well by the end of January here with $20,000 in the account, $20,000 times 6. now I've got a hundred and twenty thousand dollars of buying power. So now I was able to start growing the account really really fast and so I ended up making 100 grand in 44 days.
So since I crossed the hundred thousand dollar level on like March 8th or whatever it was I decided just to spend the rest of 2017 seeing how much I could grow the account. and really I kind of settled into a nice groove through 2017 and going into 2018 and I'll kind of show you here down to the end of 2018. it was just nice, slow and steady. I mean things were a little slow during the summer of 2017, but then it picked up and no Tock Tober November December got myself up to 335.
Going in to 2018 2018 was super strong. You know, a few little dips here and there, but nothing significant. So in 2017 through 2018, the biggest drawdown that I experienced was about $24,000 25,000 and that means that So and this was let's see on May 5th of 2018 so that was right in in this area I guess Ok, so right in here. I was up.
five hundred and thirty six thousand dollars and then I lost 25,000 off of the all-time high. So that's that's what creates what's called a drawdown. And it's not unsurprising that drawdowns get bigger as your account grows because you can be more aggressive and traded larger amounts of money. But I was pretty pretty good through this period.
A bit of a drawdown there early on and I guess this period right here. No no, no, it was right in here and then again right there and you know a couple others here and there. All right. So 2018 was solid going into 2019 I Knew that 2019 would be the year that I would cross over the million dollar mark I knew it would be because I was coming in with eight hundred plus thousand I was it was just a matter of time.
and so as I kind of got into 2019, I started really psyching myself out about what you know when I was gonna cross that level, what day it was gonna be, what month it was gonna be. and that's when things started to get difficult. So the first $25,000 from 583, 25 grand and the last 25 thousand from 975 thousand to a million. That was really the hardest. and you know why it's not cuz I really had to trade any differently. It's because the emotional stakes started to get really high, the emotional stakes at the beginning and then the emotional stakes towards the end of the race. And so you know what ended up happening right before, right on right. The day before I was about to cross the level I was at 992 thousand dollars and then I lost 47 grand over the course of about five days of trading where I was just being emotionally impulsive, super aggressive And it was.
It was terrible. I was really disappointed myself now I ended up bouncing out of that loss and crossing over the million dollar mark and we can see here this was actually my my equity curve just for 2019. and so this right here was where I lost 47,000 It took me about a month to make it back and then in May I had a great month of May and then dropped back down in the middle of June June ended up not being that great July was so-so and then August really big Green month and then September not great October I ended up being read November right through here I was in traitor rehab and then I came out in December really really strong. So I ended up setting a record here last last year in 2019 of record drawdown, which you know given the fact that the account was at this point over a million dollars in profit.
I guess is not the end of the world, but it certainly felt disappointing. It didn't feel like that was the type of record that I was wanting to set and in fact, if I look at my my my PNL you'll notice that there was a pretty significant change in the way I traded from 2017 to 2019, especially at that window right as I was about to cross that level. I'll get into that more in just a second. But what I wish for 2020 is that I can hopefully smooth out some of these kind of big draws.
To the downside, I mean the move to the upside is great, but you know sometimes I was taking more risk than I should have and then that on some occasions led to some really big losses. So pulling back the risk a little bit, focusing on a quality set ups is one of the goals I have for this year. And and if we look here, this was the profit by by month for 2019. And so you can see that I was read in March and I was read again in October.
So read on two months now. I'll say that being read is not statistically unusual for me if we look at 2017. I was read in April and I was read again in September. I had to read months in 2017 and I had a really slow period from April and until September.
but I was really strong in the first three months in the last three months and that made up for it. Now let's look at 2018 2018, 1231, 2018 and notice again: I was read here in Feb by 10,000 and Octo our August was I was up 1300. but this is as basically a break-even month. It was not a good month for me. First month of the year 117 thousand was awesome. That still is the best month of all time for me. Hopefully by the time some of you guys are watching this video I've set a new record there but that was a 2018 record and then the end of the year was was not bad. 2019.
All right, let's look at this again down here filter and you'll see the two red months: March 21 thousand Big red month that was the biggest red month I'd had in a long time October 19 thousand Another big red month so I wasn't happy with that. Although of course I had some really nice green months 54, 78, 86 second biggest Green month of all time there 44,000 in August not bad December 55,000 And of course that was the beginning of that small account challenge. So it's not statistically uncommon for me to have two red months each year, which is nice to know that you can be wrong two months out of the year and still finish the year in in really good shape. But after October I really did feel pretty I felt deflated I just felt so frustrated with myself because at that point it was obvious that I wasn't gonna hit that 1/2 million dollar goal that I'd set for myself you know I I I just sort of had said well Ross you know if you made three, thirty-five and seventeen and 518, you've got to make at least 519 if not closer to 600 or 700.
That was sort of my just logical thinking and I guess I kind of failed to acknowledge and accept the fact that in trading you will have you may have some years that are amazing and then a year that's just not as good and the market is. It's not the same as having a job where you make the same amount each year plus 2% where it's a straight line up. and that's one of the reasons that we love tradings. because you can have a day or a week where you end up May in a full month salary.
but you can also have a day a week or even a year where you make a little less than you had thought. and so rather than set the goal of well I need to make at least $10,000 a month in order to you know, cover my cost of living and you know, feel like I'm still making enough money that it's worth trading I set the goal that I need to be making 500 because I need to make more than last year and that started getting in my head a little bit in September because in September I knew that at this point I was tracking behind my goal and so I kept saying you know what? it's okay because October November and December are typically my strongest months and I could probably make 150 grand in those three months if I Really, you know, get some hot momentum if I'm aggressive on my share size and I you know, step up to the plate. So I started stepping up to the plate in October and swinging as hard as I could and I kept striking out I wasn't trading the market I was in I was trading my own P&L I was trading my own goals and the reality is, the market really wasn't that hot in October It was statistically a little unusual. It was also a little unusual that August was as strong as it was, but that's the market. Sometimes it's like that and you have to trade the market you're in, not the market you want to be. So after October I was like, you know what? Forget it I'm I'm throwing the goal of five hundred thousand dollars out the window I'm gonna just accept that that's not gonna happen this year and I'm gonna switch gears. You know I already crossed the million dollar mark I don't I don't have anything that I need to really do with that. Let's just switch gears.
I'm gonna put myself into one month of trade or rehab and I checked into Trader Rehab in November Mac Cher sighs two thousand shares max daily loss two thousand dollars. The first three days went great. I was like all right, 2,000 shares. the stress was so much lower.
I didn't feel as stressed out I was like you know I felt good I was taking 2,000 shares jumping in, getting some profit getting out and that was it. And then on this day Wednesday I was trading on my laptop in California and you know again, not uncommon I traded good portion of the year last year on my laptop. but on that particular day I had flown to California overnight and I was really tired the next morning waking up at 5:30 in the morning local time. But plus not sleeping well and you know I slept a little on the airplane but not well so anyways.
so I lose 2,000 bucks and I was like god dang it! I was so furious because I was like $2,000 That's a full dollar per share loss. You know to lose that amount is really not good. and then I was like the quickest way for me to make back 2000 is to up my share size to like 4,000 or 8,000 shares. but then I you know I couldn't do that because I set this rule.
Then on Thursday a second red day $1,300 and I was just like I was so frustrated I didn't trade on Friday I came back on Monday and lost another $900 getting and at this point I was like I'm in trade or rehab but this is not going well at all now. I'm red on the month. You know this is not working but you know it wasn't working because I was really fighting it I wasn't embracing the the rules of Rehab which was trade the best, Leave the rest I was trading a little bit of this I was trying to hit home runs and so I kind of had this first basic you know this period right here. 1 2, 3, 4, 5 days of just sloppy trading before here I started to really iron it out so you know I I fought it a little bit going into Trader Rehab I had a green day here but I was being aggressive I had been another red day here where I gave back most of the profit here I pressed the reset button again I was like alright.
well I'm in the middle of the month, but whatever I'm pressing the reset button again I'm just gonna stop thinking about it and I started fresh. Now one thing that I'll note and let me see where my calendars I started doing something a little different in sort of the middle of the year I guess it was actually right around November I can't find Oh So what I had been doing for several years was maintaining a calendar of how much I had made during during that year. So I had this you know this sort of calendar of my PNL and I would I would write down each each day how much I had made. You know, keep this calendar kind of like right next to my desk and I would even bring it with me when I would travel and I really enjoyed, especially on the green months seeing you know Green Day after Green Day after Green Day but on the red months. every time I would sit down in my desk I would have this dang thing looking at me and I even had a couple of months where I would take a sticky note like this and just like cover up that one you know, day of the month cuz I was like I don't want to look at that day anymore and then I started realizing that it actually wasn't helping me to be so fixated on how much I was making each individual. You know it's not a sprint. it's not about how much is necessarily how much you make each day or each week or each month. You know it's step back on the bigger picture.
Are you consistently making money? Okay, that's all it matters. and I think that I needed to sort of let that go and so around. November I put away my calendar and I haven't brought it out since and I've I felt a real sense of kind of freedom from that and so here. I just kind of said well rather than look at it as I'm in this terrible shape of the month on for really bad red days I'm just gonna start over here to be focused.
Good trade, good trade, great training, great trading. Great job! Great job Small Red Day! That's the test in my past. continuing continuing and then starting on December 1st the new Small Account Challenge and I put out some really great YouTube videos during the month of November It was really exciting! I was getting really pumped up for this new small Account challenge and then on the first day I was really nervous because I realized you know I've been putting out these videos for the almost last 4 or 5 weeks about this new challenge and this you know. first going into Trader Rehab in the new small Count challenge doing what if I fail you know and I start having this fear of like what if you know what if everything that can go wrong does go wrong and I you know on day one just get hammered and and and take a really big loss.
And the other thing that was a little different this year for this small account challenge was that I wasn't gonna have six times leverage on day one. I was gonna have only four times leverage I'm just using a different broker So on day one I made one hundred and thirty nine dollars. All right, thank goodness. All right, so a green day day - I lost 20 bucks and I was like oh this is not good. this is not good at all. Day: 341 dollars. Okay, that's good I guess it's moving in the right direction. Day Four: three hundred and seventy two bucks.
Finally, that's what I needed now. I've got a little bit of a cushion I'll pull up my my calendar here I'm gonna type in a tag for Cmeg this was the broker that I was using. Alright, so there we go. So fifty three thousand dollars in seventeen days and this was me being so focused.
only trading from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. I didn't mess around with afternoon trades Wednesday's happen to be a bad day I think I was just luck of the draw. whatever Fridays were really good. we're I was calling it wildcard Friday because it was just usually we don't expect Fridays to be that great and where was it? I was looking for my my equity curve here and so this is what the first few days looked like.
you know, 39 a red day, you know, another green day? Whatever. No making progress here and really quickly I started to grow the account now I ended up having a red day on the 12th I lost three hundred eighty one dollars and I did it live trading in front of about a hundred students we were at a seminar in Miami but the day before I'd had a green day and I didn't really beat myself up about it and then on on Friday the day after the seminar I had the best day that I've had in the challenge $1300 I doubled my account in one day I then doubled my account on three other occasions during this challenge I had four days where I doubled my account I doubled my account here on the day I made $18,000 I doubled my account on this day where I made thirty four hundred and I think I doubled my account on this day right here when I made seventy seven hundred. So I had one two three four days where I doubled my account and this was this set a new record. Five hundred, two, fifty thousand, fifty three thousand in 17 days and that capped off the year and put me up to three hundred and sixty seven thousand on the year.
But when we look at the year at a whole, this was a great finish, a fantastic finish. But when we step back and we look at 2019, starting again at 1 1 2019, one of the things that definitely disappoints me in this year was that not just that, I made a little less than maybe I had wanted you know I had that goal of 500,000 What really disappoints me here is this right here: my profit loss ratio. my average winners dropped from in the previous year over a that from over a thousand dollars. this was 2018 over a thousand dollars.
Average winner Accuracy: only 65% Yeah, but largest gain was 24,000 and largest loss was 10 now in 2019. Well, it was a little bit of the opposite 1231 2019 Oops Largest gains 17,000 largest lost 19,000 and on that day I finished down $29,000 sixty-seven percent accuracy. But my average winners were only 874, My average losers were 1134. So if we zoom in here a little bit on the day and time is somewhat relevant. I did a little afternoon trading and you know it didn't pay off for me. I ended up being net negative trading past 11:00 a.m. So if I had just traded from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
and stopped at 11:00 I would have made an extra. you know, a little bit more money. Now if I'd stop trading I guess at 11:30 let's do this at 30 minute increments. So well, yeah, looks like if I'd stop trading at 10:30 from 10:30 to 11:00 then from 11 to 11:30 So really, if I'd stop trading at 10:30 I would have done better I would have made an extra like 20 $30,000 obviously I had to read months which was disappointing and and then let's look here at instrument: I had one stock that I lost $38,000 on.
that was terrible that was ABS This stock just really got me good the day I lost 30 grand I'm almost positive it was on that stock I can go back here but in any case 99% Sure this was the one and so that was disappointing. I kind of set a couple new records there I had some stocks I did really well on of course and you know in fact in the last two days today I'm up 25,000 and yesterday I was up 12,000 and that was on one stock. So I've got about 30 plus thousand in profit this year on one stock which is gonna break my record from last year. so I'm happy with that.
but I am disappointed that last year I had a couple of really big big losses, a few that got away from me and I think that that was the result of trying to be a little bit of a I don't know, a little bit of a cowboy, a little bit of a hero I was I was hoping to have a couple of those Hail Mary passes where you know in one trade I'd have a new record because in in 18 I'd set records of you know best year 500,000 biggest Green Day 40,000 in one day and you know in in 19 I was feeling like man I'm not hitting record Green Day's I'm not hitting record green months I'm not hitting record profits, it's kind of pointing. but then of course in December a hit a record from 5:00 to 50,000 53,000 So I'm trying to kind of let myself off the hook for that and not let that pressure pushed me to be overly aggressive here in in 2020 as we start this new year. So the profit loss ratio last year was not great. It was negative 874 average winners 1,100 average losers Accuracy was 67 percent.
That was good. Consistency was generally speaking about average I had only to read months and that has been consistent for the last three years. Now if we go and look at $583 - 1.2 million which would be going all the way back from January 2017 to the end of last year 1.2 million roughly. And by the way, for those that are curious, I can pull up my audited statement when I cross the million dollar mark I Decided to go ahead and get those statements examined by an independent CPA and I have those.
Let's see where are they. They're on my website right at the footer. You'll see verified verified P&L So this was an audit by Citrin Cooperman Jump over and see their website if you're curious. but in any case, they're one of the big CPAs And so they they did. The whole examination of my broker statements from 2017 to May 31st, 2019 and from May from June 1st until the end of December will be added on to this audit shortly So it'll eventually say to 1.2 million and then to 1.5 and to 1.7 into 2, 2, and etc etc. Average monthly gain: $36,000 during the small Account challenge total growth: 183,000 percent and you can see right here. So this was the Independent Accountants report where they reviewed my statements. They signed off on them from January 2017.
This is the percentage return each month and then this was the dollar amount returned each month starting balance and then the growth from there so 1.07 million which was at the end of May and so now I've grown it by the end of December up to 1.2 million. The profit loss ratio continues now to be negative because of my largest loss that I had back here in 2019, but there's always hope to bring that back up by focusing 2020 on keeping loss is really small because think about it, if I have, this is a total of 3,800 trades. All right. So that's 1,200 losing trades.
So if over the next 600 losing trades I can keep my losses as small as you know, 300 dollars or something like that, that's gonna bring. My average loss is way way way way back down. And of course, if my average winners can be a little bit bigger, that'll bring my average loss average winners back up. And so these metrics will change over time.
no doubt about it. But negative profit loss ratio is a little disappointing I Think it speaks to the fact that I can at times be very aggressive. In fact, if you look at my trading, we look at overview and we look at the calendar. How many days did I take off in 2019? 1 I think this was Presidents Day So that was a market closed.
so one, two, maybe three, fourth of July markets closed, five, six, I was in Italy then seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Well that was the Christmas So you know I've got maybe like 13 or so days off in the year. Some of those days I came in to trade and I didn't see anything. but there's 200 about 250 trading days in the year.
so I found something to trade 90% of those days. You know if I was only at well, yeah, if I took 20 days off, then I would have traded 90% and I so I traded 95 percent of the day. So basically in other words, I find something to trade every single day. even though sometimes the markets not really that hot, I still find something to trade.
this was when I had a concussion so that was that I took at that full week off and but I don't take time off I trade every single day and you know, for me, it's kind of funny like that. I'm able to find something worth trading every day. and I think it speaks to the fact that I'm able to adjust my quality standard to the market. I'm in, you know I if we don't see anything a quality well trade be in see quality and so I'd like to try to increase my standard a little bit. Not to the point where I take multiple days where I'm not trading but where maybe I trade with smaller share size. if I don't see a quality set ups because just kind of pushing through and trading through everything, it feels like I'm getting beaten up sometimes. I Think of these big boats out in the Bering Sea When big storms are coming through and you know you can either try to push through the storm and keep fishing, you beat up the boat, you beat up your crew, you beat up your, you know all your equipment, or you know you take shelter behind one of these islands and and you kind of just ride out the storm and at the end you know what do you save or lose by doing that? I mean I I Think with me, pushing through has not always been the best thing to do. Performance by instrument volume I Low volume stocks have often trapped me into some really big losses where I jump in thinking it's gonna rip and I'm totally wrong and it just tanks on me.
Higher volume is where I've done better typically led s Bo XL a few stocks I've done particularly well on my oh, the one that I've just been trading the last few days is going to Now go on the list here as another one of my top 10 stocks. I Mean this is pretty unbelievable from seven dollars to 35 and then this morning all the way up to 40 bucks I jumped on that in the first five minutes of the day for a break of pre market highs so that's gonna be um, you know, another another nice one on in the record books, but generally speaking from 583 to 1.2 I've proven that even if you do get a little aggressive, even if you have to read months a year, even if you're wrong 32 percent of the time, you can still be successful. You know it's not to say that my results are typical, you know I should probably say that these these results are not typical. This took a lot of hard work, dedication, discipline Drive years of studying before I started the $583 challenge but it's been impressive there's there's no question about that and my goal for 2020 is to try to of course continue to grow the account and this was the seminar that we hosted in Miami in 2020 with our 2019 with about a hundred students and so this was me live trading in front of everyone and it was an awesome event! It was so much fun, we had a great time and I'm hoping to host more events like that in 2020 and in the future as we look forward.
I've been actively working for the last few months on finding a really good space that we can use for these types of events and host them on a more regular basis because there are a lot of fun for me. they're really great for those that are able to attend and I want to try to make that a more regular thing And really my goal with the small account challenge. you know I did that small account in December I finished the challenge. It wasn't about trying to grow it to a hundred K in less than 44 days, it was just a one month challenge. It was fun right now. I'm doing a TD Ameritrade small count challenge and that's been fun. A little challenging for different reasons, but 2020 I'm sure we'll continue to. You'll continue to see different challenges.
Me switching things up a little bit just to kind of keep things interesting and have fun and help you guys who are at the beginning of your learning curve. So I hope this has been a fun episode for you guys to sit in on. and I hope you've learned a little bit about my strategy. I didn't really hone in or zoom in on any specific highlight trades from the from the from 2019 although I will say that and I can log in here I should be able to log in and to our members dashboard just to show you that those of you guys who are part of the classes and the curriculum, you're able to see a lot of my live trading archives.
So if you get in there and you want to learn a little bit more about my strategy or how I'm trading, etc etc, you can actually go in there. You can of course watch the classes, but you can also watch the actual live archive. So let me put this up here: I'm going to click on educational courses. we'll jump in here and I just want to show you the live trading archive.
So these archives are pretty cool. This was the beginning of the small account challenge, so this is day 5. So on this day I'm trading in a small account and in this video I'm kind of breaking it down for you, showing you the live trading recording of me getting in, getting out, how how the trade happened, and everything else. Several of my students who have become successful traders also put videos in here on trades that they've taken and kind of give you a little bit of a different take.
It's these guys trade sort of different variations of my strategy. You know they've kind of modified it for what works for them, which is awesome. I mean that's ultimately what it's about I Want you guys to take my strategy and learn as much as you can from it, and then if you decide to adapt it a little bit to suit your personal risk tolerances and everything else, you know good. That's totally fine.
So as always questions comment, please leave them down below and I will see you guys for the next, well probably the next midday. Marco Recap All right I'll see you guys all go soon!

Priceless!
Can’t thank you enough my brother.
So incredible to see and hear your numbers from 2019 knowing now where you're at in 2020. ALL RECORDS CRUSHED!!! Can't wait for the 2020 recap. Warrior Trading is the best.
Simply amazing and inspirational!
Did you stay in the CMEG account for the whole challenge?
thanks for taking the time to record this. I wish you a great 2020
Please start a hedge fund!!!
Killer 2019 and overall $1m challenge review! Little off topic question which laptop dual screen extensions do you have and would you recommend them?
When I look at companies like AAPL,TSLA your chart looks like something that inspires me!
Although you didn't mention it in your yearly review, I'm super impressed by the increased role that trading psychology is playing at Warrior. My trading improved in 2019 thanks to the two weekly sessions you provide for Warrior Pro with the psychology team you work with. It would be great to hear about how the Warrior psychology team has influenced you, in your yearly review, as trading psychology seems to be a big part of your yearly successes! Thank you for your transparency and generous teaching.
You are the most honest trader I have seen on youtube. Thanks for sharing the trade year reflection
Great job!
I have a question.
Is there a movie on your channel showing the results of the first year of your trading?
Hi, Ross. Tradervue shows total commision and total fee, fee to broker and commision to ecn, am i right?
Thanks for the content Ross, and even though I'm not a student yet it's definitely a goal of mine in the next month. As for now I'm just putting my nose to the grindstone learning as much as i can from your videos, and your book everyday until I get everything ready to go.
It's been incredible to see you step back and work on the physiological part of your trading. All the small account challenges that help traders on every level. The great vlog and one off videos, filled with Easter eggs and knowledge. The premarket watch list and the afternoon recap. Thank you Ross!!!

How much I like Ross recap videos! What's really valuable here for me is the psychological thoughts and adjustments Ross made over the years, going into rehab, setting goals, analyzing, tracking all his trades, sticking to his (long) strategy. I am studying his 2017 videos as I can relate more to those "slower" paced trades. Great work
I suppose the real question is….will Ross take a vacation in 2020 for more than 3 days in a row? (no business trips…more like a week at disney.)
2020 will not slow down the 🐐!
how many years were you going before 2017 challenge….give me some hope and tell me it was 3 or 4 years….
great point on lower volume stocks hurting….so true…..I get crushed in mid day, why…low volume, see saw
interesting…..I note: avg volume for 2017, 2018, 2019: 56,424, 87384, 98531…..avg daily gain for 2017, 2018, 2019: 1444, 2128, 1569….and avg profit per share 2017, 2018, 2019: .025, .0243, .0159…..so I see why you were dissapointed….went against your thoughts that increasing share count should result in increased profits with same strategy…..so there was some limit which seemed to emerged in the increasing share size……only thing I can see then is bring share count down per day and get higher profit per share ….easier said than done.
Thanks for the upload Ross
What is the offshore brokerage you're talking about with the 700?
Never knowing where to invest the money is the biggest problem to me…
Reminds me I need to review my 2019
Another spot on honest video ross!!! Your biggest fan from the uk!! Keep up the hard work!! Pure awesomeness!! 😜
Which platforms offer 10 second interval charts?
Ross, If I use a trading simulator do I have to trade on it during market hours? Or can it be set up to trade at market hours on the sim while trading at night?
Ross I am wanting to start putting $ into some kind of investment like you're doing. In what do you recommend I should invest in? A ROTH IRA or traditional IRA? To whom should I refer to, to get this started?
Ross, just wanted to let you know that your not alone when you are having those rough months and even those few and far between red months. I've been watching your videos for almost two years now and only started paper trading myself this past August. I graduated high school this past June and that allowed me to have the time in the morning to start trying to day trade. My very first three months of trading were pretty bad! In Aug, Sep, and Oct I probably have a net loss somewhere around 60 to 80k LOL. I was trying to learn how to trade in some of the worst months of 2019! Even so, here we are. I started to turn things around in November and ended green 23k on the month, my first green month ever!!!! Also to my surprise I ended up 43k in December!! My very first month that I hit the monthly goal, didn't think it would happen so quickly. I think if you really want to hit those big goals you just need to be consistent and focused. You are a way better trader now then you were in 2017 and 2018. You are going to hit that goal this year and I wouldn't be surprised if you come close to 600k each year, in the coming years. Hoping to start trading with real money soon. I have my trade ideas scanner ready to go and I have my lightspeed layout modeled after your layout ready to go! Will get the esignal charts started once I start with real money. That damn 10 second chart at the open and around halts is freaking cheating LOL!!
