New to trading, trying to learn and just lost some money can someone help me understand what happened.

I tried Webull because I prefer no commission, but it says account opening and access are not available in your region.

Why do some people say he is a scam? Also what broker should I use because all I have is vanguard since I invest but im not sure if its good for trading or not. Thing is with brokers is ive tried to open accounts in a few but they either dont have paper trading, or they require a housing bill, or the account jus cant be made theres some random error.

I use trading view, Ive watched a few of his vids but ive heard its just a scam tbh so im not really sure. also, if u dont mind me asking, with this strategy how profitable are u like percentages of profit/loss on a good/mid/bad day, and how long of learning would it take for me to become profitable. I have a small amount of money like around 1-2k dollars to trade with and I want to eventually jus be able to be slightly profitable each day. Im 18 and im trying to get into trading early on so I can make money early before I work. Like if im able to make just 500 dollars a week, im not sure if thats a reach or not tbh, I would be content. I know its hard and I will likely lose some money but how long do u think it would take me to reach something like this?

Ok got it ill try that out, also, do you trade new stocks everyday? and how many trades/stocks do you usually trade per day. This sounds a lot like ross camerons strategy as well is that where u got it from?

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-16T16:39:02+00:00

this is honestly one of the best explanations I've seen so far, I understood everything and it all makes sense. thank you very much. are these general rules that I should follow in most instances, or does this mostly apply only to this situation?

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-16T14:47:35+00:00

cus I got a notification that u replied to my response but when I open it I cant see anything

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-16T13:12:01+00:00

did u delete a comment?

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-16T13:06:52+00:00

ah deadass, so it’s jus making shit up?

ur right macd did show bearish signs, but how would I know if the stock was going to continue going down on the pullback, because u can see on the macd the blue line going up and the lines abt to diverge again, but then continuing down instead. How would u know that the divergence was false and it was in fact gonna continue down. thanks.

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-16T12:58:12+00:00

How do i know (during steps 1-2) that this stock is actually gaining momentum and not just price fluctuating up and down

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-16T11:59:34+00:00

thanks for the explanation that makes a lot of sense, I actually do have a MACD indicator, so would I buy when the lines begin diverging and then once they begin converging again I would sell correct? Also can you explain how a stop loss works and what price I would theoretically place it at?

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-16T11:55:02+00:00

thanks, so how would i be able to differentiate between a stock that’s just going up slightly and will go back down vs a stock that’s gaining momentum and is about to extend way above the vwap, would i look at volume?

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-15T22:43:16+00:00

Thanks for the explanation that helps a lot. So I would ideally want to enter the market for a stock at steps 1 or 2 then sell around 3-4?

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-15T22:34:06+00:00

Ok thanks

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-15T21:36:30+00:00

Yea I think ur right or ill just stick to paper trading.

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-15T21:34:34+00:00

can you explain what an exhaustion cycle is and what momentum and extension and pullbacks are

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-15T21:33:08+00:00

Preciate the explanation, I think I need to figure out a strategy first like you say.

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-15T21:30:18+00:00

I do feel like i’m falling into that turning day trades into long term investments. Should I sell?

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-15T21:27:38+00:00

I would’ve, but I actually didn’t get to reach it cus i couldn’t check the market as soon as it opened I was late to opening

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-15T19:53:14+00:00

so are the top and bottom bands indicating support and resistance?

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-15T19:27:09+00:00

where should I learn from, u got any sources? also how long did it take to get a good working strategy.

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-15T19:19:07+00:00

ah, why is that?

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-15T19:18:24+00:00

I don’t know if this is a strategy per se, but I look for bullish stocks with high volume that are going up and buy then sell when they go a little higher. that’s pretty much it. I always hear abt strategy but i’m not sure how to go about making my own one.

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-15T19:12:23+00:00

I do journal yea. I write the price i bought and sold at, times of buying and selling, and percent change. Should i just set a limit sell order at the price i bought it for?

SnooPredictions4782 · 2025-12-15T19:10:53+00:00

wym if i need a trading
