Advanced Stock Trading Course + Strategies

Explore why markets matter for investors and companies and how liquidity lets you sell assets quickly without price disruption, using three-month average volume to gauge stock liquidity.

Explore market making, where market makers provide bids and offers, earn from the spread, and manage risk while adding or removing liquidity through passive and aggressive orders.

Explore the history of exchanges and ECNs, from market makers to electronic networks, and understand how liquidity, pricing, and NBBO drive modern stock trading.

Learn how smart order routers pick ECNs, often the ones that pay brokers the most, and how latency and high-frequency traders affect fills and slippage.

Learn how dark pools enable large institutional trades without revealing liquidity, compare them with ECNs and lit markets, and examine NBBO constraints, frontrunning, and predatory algorithms.

Spot and avoid fake accounts impersonating the speaker on Instagram and YouTube. Never message first, share phone numbers or bitcoin, and report imposters to protect your stock trading community.

Learn how the VWAP (volume weighted average price) uses traded volume to provide a meaningful intraday price, guiding entry points and potential support or resistance.

Explore fundamental analysis and how it informs stock pricing alongside technical analysis, focusing on financial statements, catalysts, and market supply-demand for short-term trades.

Explore how balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements reveal a company's assets, liabilities, and equity, and show core operations, investments, and financing activities.

Discover fundamental ratios through a comprehensive example, linking balance sheets, income statements, and dividends to market cap and book value per share, driven by shares outstanding and price.

Explore how current versus expected earnings shape stock valuations by comparing today’s earnings to next year’s eps and forward pe, and how prices react to earnings surprises.

Distinguish growth and value companies by high or low P/E and dividend yields. Use momentum for growth and mean reversion for value, and filter candidates with Finviz.

Learn how trend analysis uses fundamental data like earnings per share and financial ratios to identify continuing or breaking trends, informing institutions and portfolio managers' decisions.

Explore the dividend discount model (ddm) to value dividend-paying stocks by discounting future dividends to present value, incorporating growth and the discount rate.

Defines dividends, including cash and stock dividends, and explains regular versus special dividends, settlement (t+2), and record, ex-dividend, and payout dates.

Stock splits divide shares to lower price while preserving value, with common 1-for-2 or 1-for-10 splits; reverse splits raise price to meet minimum price requirements, and brokers adjust orders.

Explore what indexes are and why the Dow's price-weighted approach differs from the market-cap based S&P 500, which better reflects the economy and informs ETF-based exposure.

Follow the new social media handles for Bloom Trading, the company replacing MTG, and update your connections by pausing the video to view the updated links.

Explore how the FOMC meets eight times a year to set monetary policy, including interest rates, reserve requirements, and bond purchases, shaping money supply, inflation, and stock prices.

Explore the leading economic indicator (LII), a ten-report index from the Conference Board that forecasts future growth through jobless claims, stock prices, building permits, and other data.

Observe coincident economic indicators such as average hours worked, non-farm payrolls, unemployment, and wages to gauge the current economy. Use leading indicators for early shifts and adjust trading accordingly.

Develop and implement a written game plan for each trading strategy to manage emotions, define holding periods, entry and exit signals, position sizing, stops, and bailout rules.

Learn how hedging reduces risk by using long and short positions. Apply ratio-based sizing for dollar-value hedging in pair trading to keep positions balanced.

Explore cointegration and mean-reverting spreads for pair trading by forming a stationary spread from non-stationary price series with a hedge ratio, and test integration with Dickie Fuller and Johanson.

Master mean-reverting pairs trading by pairing correlated stocks, using bollinger bands on the spread to enter long and short positions when divergence occurs, and manage risk with standard deviation settings.
