speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, what does that mean? Let me show you how we define directional trading in this fashion, the five directions.
speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Okay, so I'm here in Thinkorswim, and most online brokerages will give you something along these lines.
speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I've pulled up a stock called Wynn Resorts.
speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This stock is very close to $100 per share.
Brendan SchlagbaumHOST
This is a fake account, legitimately.
Brendan SchlagbaumHOST
This might be even a literal Photoshopped screenshot you're looking at number one it could literally be fake money legitimately like test accounts trading accounts you know TD Ameritrade thinkorswim has those types of options and so and then thirdly you might be looking at somebody with um a small dollar amount that they put no risk or no capital in and sure they hit the mountaintop and they're probably trying to sell you on something like that's probably what's probably what's you know happening here And then there are the individuals that are very few and far between that actually do hit at the right time on the way in, on the way out.
Brendan SchlagbaumHOST
And those people typically over time and decades are going to do something again at the wrong time and they're going to fail and they're going to actually underperform the market.
Brendan SchlagbaumHOST
The average ARK investor actually underperformed the market by 8%.
FloresHOST
High or low.
FloresHOST
So I'm using Robinhood, but someone said, well, you know, I use Schwab or Thinkorswim.
FloresHOST
Guess what? I got something for you.
FloresHOST
Check this out.
8 MINS LATER
FloresHOST
Now that told me they don't want to let nobody in.
FloresHOST
So let's go to the other one here.
FloresHOST
Let me show you Thinkorswim because that shows another picture here.
FloresHOST
And I'm gonna show you here in Thinkorswim, we have hood.
Derek TaylorHOST
I've been with Tasty for several years now.
Derek TaylorHOST
Before that, I was on Thinkorswim, and its platform is okay.
Derek TaylorHOST
I much prefer Tasty.
Derek TaylorHOST
It's much more modern looking.
Derek TaylorHOST
Thinkorswim looks a little dated these days, but it's not horrible to use.
Derek TaylorHOST
If you need a broker, Thinkorswim is great.
Derek TaylorHOST
A lot of people I know, a lot of people in Canada, obviously, TastyTrade is not available in Canada.
Derek TaylorHOST
It's one of the few countries that you can't get tasty in.
Shiv VermaGUEST
We know how to do that.
Shiv VermaGUEST
Steve Cork, our chief brokerage officer, came from ThinkOrSwim and has built out a great platform, and so we tend to use it less.
Shiv VermaGUEST
Where we use M&A is those middle two arcs, wallet share and, uh, and global ecosystem.
Shiv VermaGUEST
And so the reason for that is these are our longest arcs.
Michael MartinHOST
It's very rare, but it's doable, and I'm not, uh, a career killer or a dream killer, so I would encourage you to try it, to check it out.
Michael MartinHOST
The easiest way to do it, especially if you have, like, uh, some of these accounts, I think it's ThinkOrSwim has a paper trading mode where you can just click one of the tabs and all of a sudden you're no longer trading with real money.
Michael MartinHOST
You could do paper trade, and I, I've mentioned before, and I'm no, I know I'm not the only one to stress that I don't think traders spend enough time in sim, meaning in simulation mode, paper trading, because i- the simulators when I started were terrible.
Michael MartinHOST
They almost didn't exist, so you had to do everything by hand.
Kirk ChisholmHOST
You look at all these technical indicators.
Kirk ChisholmHOST
You go in things like ThinkPipes or Thinkorswim.
Kirk ChisholmHOST
I don't know what Schwab calls it now, Schwab Pipes or something.
Kirk ChisholmHOST
But anyway, their platform is great.
GaryHOST
You bought here at 651, you're doing even better because you bought the dip at a time where the weekly was significantly down using the tools that you have in front of you.
GaryHOST
And you don't need my four-hour algorithm to get these tools because you could use ThinkOrSwim, you could use Webull, you could use, uh, Robinhood, you could use some of those chart tools.
GaryHOST
But understanding that charts and technicals have a play in my system is why I always recommend TrendSpider.
GaryHOST
I've used every single one: TradingView, TrendSpider, ThinkOrSwim, Fidelity Active Trader Pro, all of those tools, E-Trade, I've used them all.
GaryHOST
This is my preferred.
GaryHOST
Why? It's easier.
