In this video, I challenge myself to turn $1,000 into $5,000 by day trading futures with no previous experience. What could go wrong??

I think this experiment reflects that of many people trying out day trading for the first time. Maybe you have some luck and you feel like you know what you're doing - until it all goes against you. Without a strong, backtested strategy and unemotional trading, you will fail as a day trader - like I did in this video.

I've been asked this about 1,000 times in the comments but as I mentioned in the video, futures are not subject to PDT rules. This allows you to day trade with less than $25k without federal restrictions.
ay i was wondering if u remember how much leverage you were using
FYI If trading options with a cash account the PDT rule does not apply
@@everythingdaytrading5096 correct, just need settled cash to trade.
@@DanielInskeep Still not entirely true. You can buy with unsettled funds and sell after funds clear. Great for swing trading. Thanks for this video. Really enjoyed it.
Hi, would you please upload a spreadsheet with all your trades that you did (Date, profit/loss ...) for this video?
I used to be a degenerate gambler, then I moved to investing and found a whole new way to lose all my money
Yep. Same.
It seems like im about to follow the same path. Should I stop? How did it end up for you?

@@garyedward1925 which books did u read it?
Lool, if you invest in stable ETFS or something instead of putting limits on yourself by daytrading/options and then stopping out, it's 'fairly' stable.

I'm a profitable and experienced futures trader now, but over many years lost money trading futures. It's hard to be consistently profitable. I really respect what you did here. If you would have stopped after week 1 everyone would have thought how easy it was trading futures and would be a bad example for people just starting out.
Obviously most people loses money doing this crap
Hey bro i am new to futures and i want to start do you have any tips for beginners?
When you say âamâ vs âwasâ that aligns better with reality. The only ones who can claim to really be profitable are those who do not trade anymore. Then there is no way the future can screw with them. Ask Jesse Livermore if you donât believe this.

For a minute there I thought you were going to present a rosy picture. Thanks for being honest, you probably saved some people a lot of money and heartache
glad i failed in a way.
@@DanielInskeep man I swear you were gonna be like I earned 10k In 10 days haha good to see exactly what happens to most retail investors, you have to loose money first to learn the real lessons and gain perspective that otherwise would not have been attainable.
@@KrisLacho Day trading is not investing, and yes most retail traders lose money. Most people should just buy index fund shares and call it a day lol.
@@Thezftw Yeah, if you pay closer attention instead of just regurgitating statistics: those day traders give up and close their account within 3 months. How the hell are you gonna be successful at any skill within 3 months lol
@@stankozubenko8520 Yeah, I would def trade a lot on a demo account for those 3 months before I even think about trading with live money in there so you can understand what you are doing.

@@noahwhipkey6262 Diversification of income is important. While affiliate links might seem "scammy" their really not. Their just promoting brokerages that are actually pretty good and in return they get free stocks. What is scammy is when they tell you to buy an overpriced garbage course.
@@drcola143 brokers dont need more promotion. getting free stock so that thousands of people lose their money gambling in the markets due to inexperience is shady at best, and like i said, more like a scam. dont defend those pieces of shit, makes you look bad.
@@noahwhipkey6262 He just showed himself losing all his money. It's a real-life example of what happens when you don't know what you're doing. If someone watches this video and then immediately try trading without experience, that's their fault. If someone has the experience, watches his videos for entertainment, and decides to pick up a new broker but see's their favorite content creator gets stock from their affiliate link, why not? Scams are made to trick people; this doesn't qualify by any means.
Shell-shocked financial backers have a lot to think about and losses to recover from after a terrible 2022. An expansion report and a wealth of other data did little to alter assumptions that the Central bank would likely keep raising interest rates regardless of whether the economy slows down, which implies that portfolios will experience more losses in the first quarter of 2023. I'm currently at a crossroads deciding whether to switch my $250k security/stock portfolio; how may I profit from the ongoing uncertain market?

I appreciate the transparency and brutal honesty in this vid. This experience is a true reflection of millions of traders out there, I'm sure.
Most give up within a year or so. The reality is it can take years to be successful so this isn't really the best opinion.
esepcially the 99% of fake gurus that turn 1000$ into 100.000$ just to sell you courses of affiliation from brokers, they are all about in a ponzi scheme.
brutal? you really are a petal arent you?
You seem calm, composed, and very honest. Really appreciated this video. Looking forward to more!
This was pretty awesome, thanks for the candor. Wish I knew what you were doing... like what prompted you to enter each trade (or even just a couple of them). I feel like I get how it works now, but not what factors move the candle on any given future, and what you based each trade decision on.
Here is a little trick from someone who gambled for a living in the past:
If you start with say 1k$ and you make some profits never use it in the beginning. Always use your first 1k$ till you made enough to now invest 2k and so on.
Also set yourself a goal for the day/event. Do not get greedy. Say your goal is to make 100$ a day then just stop if you reached it. If you can hit this amount everytime or it getting quicker set a new goal and stop if you hit it.
indeed, everytime i go over my profit goal, i lose money lmao
To set a goal is definetly important. But what do you mean by "never use the in the beginning"? I dont get that thing about the first 1k đ
@@philippmartius Oh, sorry for the Typo.
If you make some Profit do not use it. Most people use the profit they made to make higher bets (talking mostly about poker here) or even playing higher games (1k, 1.5, 2k)

Kudos to you for your honesty, that's a hard thing to do (exposing yourself to people's opinions, and your own)
props for being so real with the outcome, solid video =)
Man these vids are high quality. Keep them coming
This video was extremely helpful and entertaining. I just learned about futures and your video has been the most helpful thus far.
Wonderful Video Mate.
Thanks for the honesty and everything. You are amazing
nice very transparent, not all youtubers would show the losses. great video!
This is so exciting! Thanks for being transparent and sharing both sides of the story! This video is invaluable
You have my sub for being one of the first honest and straight up CZcamsrs I have watched
Great video, thanks for explaining how it works!
Looks fun to try.
This was actually REALLY good content. Highlighted the ups/downs of trading, didn't sell anything, and illustrated the importance of both LUCK and discipline. Well done.
Even though you lost in the end. This was such a helpful, informative, and real video. You weren't just selling sunshine, like so many other people do! I appreciate what I learned here.
That was very good. i was surprised how realisticly you described what happended and i learned from you. Thank you and good luck.
Dude! I have mad respect for you! The level of transparency you maintained *even while losing trades* was the model of how this should be done for most youtubers, especially businesses. Kudos! I found you while searching for something unrelated (though I've been searching for a lot of trading vids lately). I started March 2021 with $1,000. so your title grabbed me. But what blew my mind was the info on futures. I knew nothing about them and your video opened up a new world for me. I'll be deep diving your pool of knowledge and let you know how I fare after an initial test run. Thank you ever so much!
How did you fare, brother?
I respect the hell out of your honesty. Learned a lot, didn't feel sold on anything, you get a subscribe from me brother. Keep at it.

The stock investing strategy by Rex Coleman is a brilliant, well researched and motivating debunking of "you have to loss to learn" I have noticed for years that there is a different way of trading to be profitable, and the fascinating research and engaging investment plan by Rex's trading view have created not only a solid validation of that principle but also a practical wisdom and techniques for being a profitable trader

When your account was up around $2,000 or so, you should have pulled out the original $1000, so all you're left with is the new money to play with. Then if you lose it all, you still have your original amount so you can try again. Good luck and nice vid on reality.
This got no likes I totally agree
Or everytime you make like a grand profit, for example when his profits go up to 2k so he has $3,000, he could pull out the $2,000 he made and start from the beginning with his $1,000 he was willing to "gamble" from the start and not touch the money he made even if he blows the $1,000

Thank you for this bro. Awesome video
The number one way you messed up was what you said at the beginning, you didn't have a good plan and then secondarily you were basically risking too much each day. You should never risk more than about 10% (i'd say as a seasoned trader - but a new trader, 1-2%) of your overall account on any trade. Though I get what you were doing and honestly, most people do that exact thing, take the little bit of money they have, and trade on it each day. I started with 1,200 dollars and and in the beginning I would take a 100 dollar trade with a stop loss of 5 dollars (basically if i lost the trade i would come out with 95 dollars). It worked well for me and it really helped me get through the learning phase, because there is only so much paper trading can do and with small trades, i get all the experience and my bad trades were minimized and my good trades even if making 10 dollars or 15 dollars, were accounting for any losses i incurred before so for my case after 6 months i was break even and then i closed the year out with about 400 dollars profit which was amazing
but very enjoyable video subbed.
That was really interesting to watch. I really enjoyed that you showed the ups and downs (pun intended) of day trading. I always wanted to try it my self but was hesitant cause I can't afford losing money
thank you for a very honest and transparent trading video. Good luck with you trading.

There's something interesting about just starting out and making solid gains. You have a different mind set initially; no biases. You're open to the market information, and not willing it to go in some direction, or another. You simply observe, and respond. After a few days of success, you think you've got a handle on it, and that's where you start making mistakes. That's the key to "beginner's luck", and I think the knack lies in getting back to that mental state when trading.
You sorta didn't lose, you gained experience and knowledge which is invaluable. He who dares wins.
This is a very honest take. Thanks!
Very much Learned some doâs and donât here! Thanks for the vid my friend.
You are right! your explanation is easy to follow up and very educative. thanks
@harrison kevin Iâm confused about what counts towards the % in âSave 20% Incomeâ and Iâve had this question for a while. When you talk about this number, do you count the money that goes into retirement accounts like your 401k and Roth IRA? Or is this beside that? i keep losing
One way to make money here is to not be greedy set your brackets like this.. stop trade is you losing over 20 and sell trade if you gaining over 100$ do this all day and if you have knowledge and have some luck you could make. Over 1k a day
Wow I'm just shock to know they're people who still lose like me, I thought I'm the only one losing in trading market.
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade??

As a former trader on the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, I have to say this video was quite refreshing. It's nice to see honest content about how quickly things can (and probably will) go against you. One thing, and maybe I missed it, is I think you should show how much your commissions were. Yes, you lost 1000 bucks, but I would bet that you actually traded very close to neutral, and that your commissions were the 1000 bucks you lost. That's what usually happens to most people since they are essentially flipping a coin. I'd also think another video explaining your tax situation after trading is something that merits investigation. I think most young traders go into this not realizing that at worst they might get a surprising large tax bill, but at the very least are complicating their tax situation--you probably won't be able to file that 1040EZ (if that's still a thing) anymore. Anyway, you earned a like and a sub from me. Great video!
