Walley’s beginner guide
« on: October 22, 2021, 10:44:01 AM »
This is a basic guide for stock trading. Understanding the topics below are useful for any type of trading or investment. Thinkorswim is considered a good general platform to use for beginner traders, but you are not limited to it. Just make sure you enable real time data. Here is a video about enabling real-time data https://youtu.be/ASNPoq4L_AQ. You can message support within the thinkorswim platform if you don’t have real time data in the platform or come across any other issues. Use paper trading and the on demand feature to learn and practice before using any real money.
Note for Those That Are Considering Day Trading
Day trading will be one of the most difficult things you will ever do, but will be very rewarding once you attain the skillset. Most will say that 95% of day traders fail. You are going against yourself and the best in the world. You will lose and you will need to learn to lose. With that in mind, spend the time to learn and put in the screen time to get the experience. YOU HAVE TO COMMIT TO THIS, OTHERWISE YOU WILL FAIL. RISK MANAGEMENT AND CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY FOR SUCCESS.
You need to avoid trading like the following popular people and those like them, especially if you are new. They have some good informational videos and make a lot of money, but they tend to trade penny stocks and low float stocks, which are easy for them to manipulate.

Basic Indicators
        These are some basic indicators I found helpful in getting me started. You can update your strategies once you get more experience and find which indicator is useful or not useful to you based on the way you trade.
VWAP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VUa6jAJpwk
EMA and SMA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09c1giawo4g https://youtu.be/FNHfQOjk1CI
RSI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6z4Ntf4Yos
Divergence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBJQ8-lGlbE
MACD https://youtu.be/eob4wv2v--k
Useful Tools (do not buy or sell solely based on any of these tools)
        I’m personally subscribed to BlackBoxStocks, BookMap and FinViz.
https://blackboxstocks.com ($100 a month) Useful to quickly see time and sales and level 2 sentiment through a visual indicator, see stock and options alerts, aggregated option flows and dark pool orders. This helps you see where smart money is moving, which will move the stock prices. The service also includes a discord channel for mentor alerts, listening on mentors talk as they buy and sell, help from mentors and others and the news stream from thefly.com. This is my favorite tool used for options flow.
https://finviz.com ($40 a month) Useful for seeing the overall market in a heat map. Real time if you pay for the elite version. Useful for screening and identifying trending stocks and stocks in certain patterns and news that may move the market. I like using this to see institution holding and short float percentage and as a scanner for stocks in certain patterns.
https://bookmap.com/ ($40-$80 software + $50-$100+ data feed a month) I primarily use this to visualize level 2. You can also get it through thinkorswim for $40 a month and it’ll use the data feed within it. It's the same data feed you get from paying the extra fee with the standalone software. The thinkorswim version doesn’t seem to contain all the features when compared to the standalone, but it's enough for me.
https://www.marketwatch.com/economy-politics/calendar and https://us.econoday.com/byweek.asp?cust=us and https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/calendar.htm are useful economic calendars that can show scheduled events that may move the market
https://www.earningswhispers.com Useful for seeing the earnings calendar
https://www.tipranks.com Useful for comparing price targets from the “experts”.
https://stocktwits.com Useful for seeing trending stocks and sharing information. DON’T trade based on the “hot tips” here.
https://www.tradingview.com Useful for making quick charts, reviewing/sharing charts, basic company financials and news. Some people also use it as their primary charts.

I didn't even know this exists.  ;D  Here is the link to the document, which I update once in a while. I usually just give new people this link when they ask me about the stock market. Most of the time I never hear back, which is probably for the best for their sake. https://bit.ly/3mHyCrE
