4 Things to Always Do Before You Start Trading: 1- What market should you trade in? 2- Time Frame. 3- plan your Stop loss. 4- think about the financial risk percentage...
You are an amazing teacher. I don't think I have ever come across a collection of videos on trading so holistic, complete and easy to comprehend as the trading 212 playlist. My mind is blown. Trading 212 is a one stop shop for getting the right software and you tube video guide for any beginner in trading. What I especially love about the app is the invest option. Awesome services, awesome teachers and an awesome customer service so far. Thank you so much.
I just saved myself from falling victim to the Norwegian Air Shuttle stock going down 21-ish% today. My stop-loss got me out at the -2-ish% mark. That's the "best" loss of money I've ever had - I was so happy!
I'm eager to learn about stocks and I've been watching a bunch of random videos. I watched a couple of yours and now I'm a subscriber. Love how you structure your videos. Your explanations are focused without entering into a breadth of topics and terms, which really help beginners like me. Thank you!
seriously glad i have found this channel as so many site etc over complicate the market, Trading 212 do it simple and easy to learn, I would like to see a good video on back testing if you do one if now, can we have one please....
David, for some time now I’ve been wanting a stock market mentor. I feel as though I’ve found that in your videos and I just wanted to say I’m so grateful. May you and your family be abundantly healthy and prosperous.
New to trading, I learned that risk should be half of the potential gain (2 to 1) as a type of risk management. I checked the 3% of my investment size rule you mentioned to a current holding I have were I set a stop using the 2 to 1 rule and considered technical support. I found that the 3% rule gave me a stop price at $147.20 and I had set a stop at $147.50 using the 2 to 1 rule. This is great for confirming my predictions and managing risk, Thanks.
This video is one that had some of the most important down to earth advice. I am planning my first trade in a few weeks. I thank you for keeping it realistic and not pie in the sky crazy like some of those Forex "gurus" who claim that you can make millions a year if you take my course.
Good stuff here, insightful video. It is very encouraging to Possess a thirst for knowledge. Never stop reading and learning about this stuff. Learn to love it. This isn’t something you’re going to read for a couple seconds and just master randomly.
is there a 212 tutotial on how to actually implement a stop loss wihin the app? Just cold hard facts. Showing us how it works in the platform, in action. Step by step. I'm sure it could be done in 1minute max. e.g 1. open 212 Invest, 2) click on this click on that etc.
Hi, Julian. Your comment regarding the advanced charts is quite surprising, given the fact the majority of traders are really pleased with them. It would be much appreciated in case you share details to the customer care team. The contacts are listed at www.trading212.com/en/Contact.
What would you choose to start trading with (practice) to get used to the platorm and using stop losses, how charts move etc.? Also maybe a video/article on bid and asking rates to understand 'spread' and how these are shown on the platform so i know exactly how much will be given up on each trade to get true figures after these 'deductions'. Grouping videos into sections/skill levels on the website may possibly be beneficial. I am seeing videos on limit/stop OCO orders which I'm not familiar with yet. Or maybe even a selection of the videos you guys reccomend watching first and progressing through? Either way its all free and the content to learn from is great so thank you loads and keep it up!
Hi David I've been following your videos for a few days and I love them. Very concise and easy to understand. Not using too much stock market jargon really helps. Could you please do a video on how to trade option and the most efficient strategies for it.
Hi Msindisi, thanks for your suggestion. The topics covered in the videos are related to the services offered by Trading 212. Binary options trading is not among them.
Got it...thank you so much...but I realized that the strategies are interchangeable mostly between forex and options, so I'll stay tuned in if you don't mind.
Learn all you can about trading. The market is driven by us the traders. If you know what the herd is going to do....you will run with it and win. Pretty simple really.
I would like you to cover my trades. In all seriousness, I wish I would have found your videos a month ago. Probably would have saved me a few dollars....
Point 4 is very important and I’ve leadned that the hard way but I’d like to ask; is there a way to put in a max/min % risk on a trade once you’ve bought shares in a company rather than having to figure the % out yourself?
Hi there. Binary options are not available with Trading 212. Take a look at this page for information about CFDs: www.trading212.com/en/CFDs. Currently, the minimum deposit amount in a Real Account is GBP 100, EUR 100 or USD 150. Local currencies are available in certain countries. The full trading terms are listed at www.trading212.com/en/Terms-and-Commissions.
Excellent. Can you do a video about mt4 lot sizing and how to calculate it, especially when the quote currency isn't the same as your account currency.
Great video again. Thanks all at T212. I don't know if I've missed it, but is there a video on calculating risk? It's briefly mentioned here but it would be great to know how to manage risk no matter how much you have in your account. Cheers!

Hello, Riccardo. You can take advantage of Trading 212's Economic Calendar: www.trading212.com/en/financial-calendar. You can also use the Tradebird feed in the mobile and web apps.
So basically your stop loss is the lowest point in the graph before you place a trade. If the graph goes under it when you bought that stock you sell it right?
Hi Peter, you can open a free Practice Account with virtual money on Trading 212 - www.trading212.com/en/Free-FOREX-Practice-Account-GBP. You have a web trading app and native mobile apps for iOS and Android at your disposal.
Hey cool video! I’m looking to give this trading idea a go in the next few days, but I don’t know anything at all about trading and even what button does what. Have you got any simple videos on how to use a trading app and simply what actions do what? Kind regards - Tom
Thank you for all the good trading info. Would like if possible that you expand a little on the time frames topic. Do you trade using different time frames? Is the daily more effective than the 1 or 4 Hrs? Thank you.
Hi really good question. Yes, I think it is always advisable to start with the daily time frame - it is more effective. You need wider stop-losses but I think it helps in not getting too caught up in the short-term noise. Glad you are enjoying the videos.
Hey Nnamdi, you may check Trading 212's advanced charts and technical analysis tools for free with virtual money at www.trading212.com/en/Open-Practice-Account-GBP.
Nice videos. You don't seem to talk much about binary options as an investments vehicle. Why is that??? Secondly I would like to see a video on strategies of trading in a ranging market. Thank you.
Dear sir am new trader. I like to trade in option. But i face some problems during day trading. 1 when i change candle time 10 to 15 MACD and other indicator change their trend. So which time frame is best 10 min or 15min 2nd i cant maintain my stop loss. And get emotional to the trend which i suppose to believe. When it get revers i believe it will get back as i believe. Plz help. Am from india.

Hi Jefferson, the trading app displayed in all videos is Trading 212. Check out the Practice Money Mode with virtual funds at www.trading212.com/en/Free-FOREX-Practice-Account-GBP.
I think it depends on your definition of "long term". The approach for investors will probably be a bit different in terms of amount to risk versus that of traders.
It amazes me that traders make all their decisions based on the post movement of the graph especially when they have no idea whatsoever what is making the graph move in its unpredictable lifestyle. Winning and loosing trades is just like any gambling. There are no logical places to place a stop as you do not know where the graph is going next. Past movement of the graph is no indication of where its going next for goodness sake.
Great tutorial, STOP LOSS worked perfectly I did try, STOPED MY Money Then I LOST IT, if I live it without stop loss, my money still there, less the company bankrupt, result is the same, with stop loss just I made it quicke
Why can't i set my S/L on 3744 on bitcoin while i just bought btc for 3747 for example and expect it to raise?. it says the S/L is the close to the current market price? It only allows me to set a S/L on something like 3650. Anyone who knows why i experience this (i'm a beginner using the demo currently)
Hi, Sem. All Stop Loss orders on Trading 212 are guaranteed during the market hours. In order to prevent closing the position due to a slight price movement, a mandatory minimum distance from the market price is required when placing a Stop Loss order. More info at www.trading212.com/en/Frequently-asked-questions?cId=5.
I strongly disagree your 1-3% rule. That's only a good level if you're a multi-millionaire. I'm thinking more like 20-33% per trade, if you have less than $10,000 in the market. Otherwise, commissions and spreads will eat you alive. Besides, like you said previously, it's better to be an expert on 1 or 2 sectors than to have a little knowledge of many. The same goes for individual stocks, commodities or currency swaps. Focus on 2-4 of them. I'd suggest 20-33% in each one and 20-33% in cash, if you have between $1000-$5000 in the market. The trading commissions and spreads alone will be more than 1%. If you have less than $1000 in the market, it should be more like 50-100% in each one.
Hi Jeff. I think you have hold of the wrong end of the stick here. When I talked about 1-3% I meant the amount to lose on every trade, not the total position size/exposure. So let's say you have a $10,000 account and only decide to risk losing 3% on a trade. That means that any loss should only hit your account for $300. You decide to buy XYZ share with a 10% stop loss. So you should buy $3,000 of that share in this example as your loss, assuming that 10% stop loss, is only going to be 3% of the account. Hope this explains it.

The UI of T212 is awesome and also usability features for orders and TP ect. but the charts are horrible in my opinion :D

Should you risk 1 3% even for long term trades?
I think it depends on your definition of "long term". The approach for investors will probably be a bit different in terms of amount to risk versus that of traders.
THANKS DAVID
It amazes me that traders make all their decisions based on the post movement of the graph especially when they have no idea whatsoever what is making the graph move in its unpredictable lifestyle. Winning and loosing trades is just like any gambling. There are no logical places to place a stop as you do not know where the graph is going next. Past movement of the graph is no indication of where its going next for goodness sake.
