That was, without doubt, the finest most content filled video I have ever watched on the art and skill of successful trading and I’ve been watching several each week for almost one full year. I’m not your typical beginning trader. I’m 83 years old and embarked upon this journey in an effort to maintain my mental sharpness and if successful I would be able to increase my ability to step up my charitable giving. So thank you Mike for sharing your superior knowledge of the necessary skill sets that I am now positive that all profitable traders must enjoy in common.
@@tonyb7275 you have to realize these are the kind of characteristics needed to be a great trader. You have to get to this point first, then and only then will the money and ability come. Not the other way around.
!! At several points in this video I felt like you were speaking directly to me. I am at a small crossroads in my trading/investing life and on one hand I am worried about losing the amount of money I have managed to save for investing. Listening to you has encouraged me to keep trying to learn some setups so that one day I can quit my job and be 100% self sufficient.
Mike, I was a jack of all trades, all over the place retail trader for years trying to make it. SMB free content + DNA program have really allowed me to find focus on what's really important. I started to get a traction when a) focusing on "stocks in play" trading stocks only b) drilling down intra-day to look for tight consolidation areas, wedges and areas around VWAP c) looking for intraday swing type of trades from established S/R levels. I'm not a CPT yet but thanks to SMB I feel like "not yet" instead of "not ever", I feel like I have a chance at least. Thank you.
I watched many of your videos of SMB Capital, and yet all of them where incredible helpful to me. I really enjoy the way you teach Mike, its very unique and I resonate very well with it. I am very thankful that you share all those insides you made along your many years of trading and coaching. Thanks!
That last story. Wow. Mike, it's been said a thousand times by others, but I will repeat it - THANK YOU. The content you're bringing to the community is not simply "one of the best". It is THE BEST.
Every couple of months I rewatch this video as a reminder of the things I need to, that I’m not doing, that is contributing to me not reaching the level I’m capable of. These steps couldn’t be clearer and have kept me in the game because up and until I consistently perform all of these steps, I can’t honestly say that I’m doing everything possible to be my best. Thank you Mike and SMB for putting out great content that gets to the core of what it takes to be great at this incredibly difficult game.
I’m trying to figure out why anyone would gives this a thumbs down. This is such incredible material giving insights to the best trading minds around and it’s all for free. My only wish is that I could live in New York and be a part of their team to learn from the best. Thanks Mike for sharing your experience and knowledge freely to learn from.
Mr Bellafiore thank you for your educational work helping traders like myself. In my trading room I have written on my whiteboard; Lionel you are not a good trader. YET! I feel as if I'm growing everyday, learning everyday, getting more edge everyday and your educational work is helping me to get where I want to be. Thank you sir.
Oddly, i had started reading "Atomic Habits" 3 days before watching this. Its really good. I also had an experience of "this is end" and all you really do is regret what you didn't get to do. Thank you for all the videos.
I have gained so much knowledge from these free videos. I was a bit disappointed about how many negative reviews they have on google. Sad that most people do not take the time to say thanks. I do realize they make money off the YT Ad's but these guys having been pushing great content for years. Thanks again.
SMB, HUH? I'm a dumb farmboy from Ohio. I spent a little time at the Manhattan club though (my uncle's place). Wish I could have met you and Seth... I'll say this: "YOU GUYS ARE LEGIT!" THANKS SO MUCH!!!
As a soon-to-be retail trader making the first leap, your video has provided me with one of the most well-rounded and informative insights into developing a balanced approach and methodology to this life-long journey. Thank you 👊
Yes! only give myself next tier buying power if I can prove I deserve more! It's so easy to bypass this very basic rule when trading on my own, but it's so important.
Coach Mike will never truly understand how big of a role model he is to upcoming traders. The community is forever better because of your efforts, Bella!
Thank you so much for such a valuable lesson. After few weeks of trading, I lost a few and started watching your videos for advice. I feel like I am getting better and learning better each day.
Without a doubt - THE best and most inspirational video about trading, and in some ways about life, that I have ever seen. Such mindful and thought provoking content delivered in a calm, concise and caring manner. Mike, this is fantastic. Thank you.
What I enjoyed about this video is that you aren't showing a bunch of charts with arrows and telling me what to look for so I can be successful. What I liked was the message of having a plan. Understand who I am as a person and how that relates to my trading style. I'm currently reading Playbook and feel I have been going about trading all wrong. Thank you for your educational insight.
Great resource - watched the whole thing through. As someone who has only been in the trading space for a year, I've learned to incorporate some of these ideas, but still have much more to learn.
🧡💛💙💚 Something important I learned from Mike over the past 8 years, is the importance of... Stopping what's not working. There is a power of compounding (to your PNL + Mental Health) when you stop doing whats not working. It might translate to 5% every week but this has monumental results in 1-3 months from today... and especially 1-3 years 🧡💛💙💚
After watching this video I feel sad that I was not chosen when I applied for an inter at your firm a few years ago because. I know that with your teaching I would have achieved my dream of becoming a professional and consistent trader. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video on how to become a consistent trader. I liked the video from the beginning to the end, especially the part about the playbook. I know that it will help me to improve my trading because I usually only look to make a technical trade with a proper set-up to open position based on my indicators. Now I know that professional traders take more variable in consideration to take a trade. Mike I think that you are a great educator and hope to learn a lot from your videos. Thank you so much for sharing them on TH-cam!
Catching these videos is always a huge inspiration and motivator. I'm trying my best to learn everyday, and taking my failures as simply lessons to improve upon. The best message I took from this video (and its maybe the third time I've heard it from you), it doesn't matter what type of trades that make sense to me and I'm good at, that's my niche and that's what will turn me into a consistently profitable trader. It doesn't matter what anyone does or what image I have of the type of trades pros take. This is a personal journey and I'm continually delighted to be guided by you and the tribe at SMB. Thank you!
Great video Mike! Hammered me on identifying my weakness, which are currently patience and routine. I know, Not Yet! But I WILL become a profitable trader as my own business.
I normally think a when you started a game if you are too serious you going to be a lose (meaning seeing thing further than thinking too it narrowing) but what i learn from you is play a game with no regrets. Is really meaningful so thought came up . Thank you i learned a lot from your video ...
I really enjoy the way they break down everything they teach. I am willing to put in the work as much as it takes to be an awsome trader.. I will update this thread in 6 months from now
Great Training Mike, I am new to trading and have been reading your book "The Playbook", I am amazed at how little I knew at becoming a successful trader (even though I am 58yrs old and have been successful in other business) You have a excellent talent at conveying information and have a 'Velvet Hammer" approach to teaching us about personal growth. Thank you
Thanks Mike. There's a lot of overlap with your Orlando MoneyShow presentation and I've been comparing my notes from then with this video. I appreciate how gracious you are with your time. It does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Please keep up the good work.
You got me Mike alot to think about and take in seriously.Being 80% committed is Not Good Enough! Not Good Enough. My Dad used to say when you choose something give it your 100% or don't even try and be a specialist in one field.Didnt like time wasters. Or he'd get his belt out on me. Arrh! What memories Didn't think it then but now I realise he did me a favour. Worked like a horse as you say! Luv Ya Mike! Be well.
This is a great video, I'm a contractor license home improvement in new Jersey, I have being putting in the work trying to learn how to trade for about 9 months now, I want to learn so I can teach my son later, but this is the hardest thing i even do in my life, respect to you and the good job you are doing, god bless.
The first time i watched this i was a losing trader. Now, I have a monthly net profit that needs further testing. Really great advice. My goal is to be a 6 figure trader the next time i watch this, and to have more of those points checked off in my trading journey. Big positive learning P&L.
Brilliant. You are a good soul Sir I am in Melbourne really love what I learn from here...An Engineer by profession, I understand the numbers but there is alot more to learn...
Mike, thank you for making these videos and constantly getting me to think about this new journey called day trading. I appreciate and cherish the education you offer through your TH-cam channel.
Thanks for the video to help remind me that success in anything takes time. I have been trading my live account for about 4 months now and am down a bit on it but am really starting to see and understand what plays and setups are best for me. Hearing how other traders got to where they are and the struggles they had to go through and became better from it helps me continue to put in the work and better myself and my trading. This also reminded me of a quote " Success is a journey not a destination".
Thanks again Mike for the great content. I took lots of info with me from it. One thing is im going to start screen shoting and studying my winning trade charts. Before watching SMB youtubes i had never kept journal of my trades and thoughts.. now each day has been better and better in terms of profits. The importance is profound.
Appreciate the stories shared in the video. Moved by the related experience in strength and sports training/competing. Definitely see the correlations in recognizing when to size up in trades when the opportunity arises with appropriate risk management and when to wait for the signals. Day to day practice/building with records and milestones set through time, solid foundation, and test of challenge. Excellent trade example and I’m noticing to stack up fundamental variables w/ technicals. In the past I was primarily trading on strong technicals. Game changer learning the other component through SMB and being able to add this in trading process analysis. Great to be a learning, sharing, and growing from this trading community. 🏋️♂️📈
@@mbellafiore19 I watch SMB videos alot and i like you guys alot, i have contact SMB support regarding the Funded trading account. And they told me that i can only trade the US Stock Markets with SMB. And thats a problem for me i live in Sweden and i cant trade the US stock market because of work and that sucks! i want to be a daytrader so bad, this is what i want to do for living. Mike tell me what to do and illl do it. just what are the steps that i need to take so that i can get Funded by SMB
Wonderful lesson Mike and thank you once again for contributing all your knowledge to this community of traders! You're timing on this video lesson couldn't have been better timed for me. Thx again!
Wow, Mike! You have really outdone yourself in this video. Timeless and priceless words of wisdom from an expert like no other. Thank you for sharing your raw thoughts and experiences. Very incredible gift you give to us!
I’ve really been liking your videos Mike. I was kind of over trading as a practice after how many people I saw who were fake gurus and stuff. To me it’s pretty clear that you are legit. Thanks for introducing me to real trading practices. I am not super smart but at the very least this is interesting.
Thank you for posting Mike. I just completed DNA Training. The archived playbook trades have been great, but your details on the $WB trade in this video were bar none, the best walk through of a trade I’ve seen. Entries, where stops were established and adjusted, exits. Loved it and could benefit from more of these. I was in AMD, short early this week. Got the first dollar of drop, but missed the remaining $4 of steady descent that day due to poor trade management.
Excellent clip. Ill rewatch several more times to burn it into my subconscious. Thanks very much. Great clip on systems, trading psychology, and inspiration.
Great video! Very informative and needed. I'm not consistent, yet... Ive been trading for 3 years and I am learning my niches. I am a poor swing trader, but can nail most of my day trades. I was struggling from the PDT rule for 2 years so I finally opened a cash account on TOS and day trade ITM options as synthetic positions and am tweaking the strategy everyday.
Really like the way that you add in short interest as well as the way you stack everything (fundamentals, technicals) in your favour before making a trade. For me - this is the only way to trade. I remember the CFTC did a survey of all of the best traders - and the ones that were top above everyone were fundamental based traders.
Mike, Grateful for all the things you post! At the 34:45 min mark you talk about Swang and his drawdowns. Can you do a video on the typical percentage daily, weekly, monthly drawdowns you see / or allow in the traders at your firm. Scalpers, swing traders, options traders, futures traders etc?
Excellent stuff, just one hour you told us how to become shark,legend , from recognising your personality ,how work hard ,time of processing,stock selection with multiple variable ,entery , sizing,risk management,riding a winner,profit booking ,enjoy the life ,,,,,,,,,whatelse any trader want to learn , great work ,big fan of yous and Brett, well myself a doctor from india , reached five figure but want to be shark ,earn green ,black t-shirt from you ,,,,,,,many many thanks ।
Fantastic presentation thank you. I enjoyed your anecdotes as well at talk on the 20 habits, building a scalable trading business , breakdown of a play book trade, and risk management .
I am not sure I accept your premise. This is not true in ALL trades. Trades must be selective and strike at the right time and if they do can sidestep stop loss hunting algos.
I never understood this idea of market makers, sitting down in a room with their cigars and hunting down stop losses.. I mean, Can't you just adjust your setups since you've identified that it's becoming a problem in your playbook? It's just something i've heard a lot in the trading community, especially during periods of high volatility, and i'm interested about the reasoning behind this notion.
Great great video Mike, had probably my best month in March in every aspect & damaged the great performance exactly the same way as Swang’s example on swing ideas not being niche trades. Thank you for the video, it hit home in more than one area.
That was, without doubt, the finest most content filled video I have ever watched on the art and skill of successful trading and I’ve been watching several each week for almost one full year.
I’m not your typical beginning trader. I’m 83 years old and embarked upon this journey in an effort to maintain my mental sharpness and if successful I would be able to increase my ability to step up my charitable giving. So thank you Mike for sharing your superior knowledge of the necessary skill sets that I am now positive that all profitable traders must enjoy in common.
Hello Harry, how are your trades going?
You give me hope! I thought starting at 50 years was rather late
@@tro2264 I think u wanted to know if he Alive or not really 💀 don't lie
How's the trading going?

What I admire about Mike is that he is just calm, collective, and organized in all he does.
very true

I hear he wrote another book that is pretty good as well.
@@mbellafiore19 haha The playbook is definitely worth the read as well 💪
I didn't really like one good trade. too much non trading info. Seemed more like a tribute to his firm. thoughts?
This video makes me realise that I'm really not making enough and I look forward to the challenge of stepping it up over the course of this year.
Good! now we are getting somewhere.
Thanks Mr. Bellafiore!! Thanks for shortening my path on becoming a successful and consistent trader
Max Hong train and trade well Max
Thank you for sharing. Taking SMB DNA class now. Looking forward to the outcome.
Hi, can you provide some feedback about your experience with DNA class so far. Thank you.
one of the best & strongest episodes, especially the ending, I watch it religiously every month
nice!!

Entries, where stops were established and adjusted, exits. Loved it and could benefit from more of these. I was in AMD, short early this week. Got the first dollar of drop, but missed the remaining $4 of steady descent that day due to poor trade management.

Great video! Very informative and needed. I'm not consistent, yet... Ive been trading for 3 years and I am learning my niches. I am a poor swing trader, but can nail most of my day trades. I was struggling from the PDT rule for 2 years so I finally opened a cash account on TOS and day trade ITM options as synthetic positions and am tweaking the strategy everyday.
Not Yet! Not Yet! Not Yet! Greg
Really like the way that you add in short interest as well as the way you stack everything (fundamentals, technicals) in your favour before making a trade. For me - this is the only way to trade. I remember the CFTC did a survey of all of the best traders - and the ones that were top above everyone were fundamental based traders.
thxs for the feedback!
Are you using VWAP as support in your example?
You are the man. Good video. Not yet not yet not yet. Patience. Endurance. Hunger. 🎉 very good. Thank you

The best informative and motivational video i have seen. Thanks Mike. I always thank you for the information that you share.
Mike, Grateful for all the things you post! At the 34:45 min mark you talk about Swang and his drawdowns. Can you do a video on the typical percentage daily, weekly, monthly drawdowns you see / or allow in the traders at your firm. Scalpers, swing traders, options traders, futures traders etc?
We will mention this from time to time but our focus is on sharing what is working for elite traders and developing traders at our firm.

What a lecture on a Sunday morning, totally worth it! you have inspired me a lot about taking some serious actions to be a successful trader.
I can’t seem to find ‘the playbook’ many other titles but not this one. Can someone drop a link
Thank you Mike for doing this. I really appreciate your help for our community.
Great way to spend my Friday night
Gboyega Ahove indeed
What about algos working around everyone's stop losses? How do you prepare for that
I am not sure I accept your premise. This is not true in ALL trades. Trades must be selective and strike at the right time and if they do can sidestep stop loss hunting algos.
Perhaps a video on stop loss spreads on the top 3 setups?
I never understood this idea of market makers, sitting down in a room with their cigars and hunting down stop losses.. I mean, Can't you just adjust your setups since you've identified that it's becoming a problem in your playbook? It's just something i've heard a lot in the trading community, especially during periods of high volatility, and i'm interested about the reasoning behind this notion.
Great great video Mike, had probably my best month in March in every aspect & damaged the great performance exactly the same way as Swang’s example on swing ideas not being niche trades. Thank you for the video, it hit home in more than one area.
great to hear!
Amazing video Mike, really enjoyed watching it. Thanks for your time and effort.
you are welcome Mark
This was amazing thanks you, this was great to just listen while I trade in the background
Glad it was helpful!
Great video!!! No regrets!
