put this here today's gonna be somewhat cool medium-length let me uh medium length of just regular length let me connect this here that I have it connected to the charger guys I'm sorry alright fart can we get that I guess we can get it like that with it meaning now we can do a little bit farther BAM what's up guys alright cool guys so I want to do I want to do a very basic video what's up the original vapery I want I've had a few people that are hey man you know I really I want to do for excited is I don't know how to get started I don't know diddly-squat right and most of the videos that we talk about it kind of for somewhat intermediate traders that kind of have an idea they already have their platform out Thank You Man thank you thank you thank you I was going to say that for intermediate trader for an immediate traders that have been trading or already have their platform they kind of know what a pip is they they know what a pair is and kind of I guess I've been more kind of going for those people rather than just the fresh newbie so what I want to do is I want to make a video very very very very basic what is Forex like what the hell is this and how can I get started in it right and it's very simple so first of all I want to explain to you guys in my opinion what Forex is right I'm not gonna I haven't gone on investopedia to find out what it is exactly right hi how you doing I haven't found out exactly you know verbatim what it is off the definition but the forex market in short it's just it's meant for it's meant for the foreign exchange market right its market where banks they sell their own currency to buy other currencies in different countries so for example let's say if you're gonna buy something in Europe right well you don't necessarily have to have euros so you with the money that you have in the bank the bank will go through the four market right and then they'll sell the dollars that they have and then they'll buy euros and then with those euros they'll pay that that the goods over there all right so you didn't have to do that and that went through the forex market what we do is that were speculators in the forex market okay so what we do is that we buy and sell for profit okay well we're new we sell to lose money but the goal is to to do it for profit okay so well you know how do how do you get involved in this right I'll show you guys how to open up your dad well you don't have to pay a single cent to get started it's completely free most of the brokers are gonna give you a just a free demo account where you can just open that up and be trading in real time get access the only difference is gonna be that it's not gonna be real money and you're not gonna know what it feels like to have real money in there but you don't need to put money in the first place you can just do it brand new zero from scratch and I'll show you and I'll show you just put forex brokers but first of all what is it that you're buying in forex right so when when they say okay the stock market I know I'm buying a share right on average on average what do you profit monthly I shoot for three percent a month on average so far we're up close to a forty five percent this year so not that bad right now who I'm not competing with but who I'm measuring myself they're around sixty percent so there's always room for growth but I'm shooting for a solid three percent a month but what I was saying was what do what do we buy thank you what do we buy in the forex market so let's say you you want to get started okay so it's the foreign exchange market this is where this is the bank's market okay this is the world the global market what am i buying when I go there well you're buying money okay a woman and they'll separate that in lots and they'll call it a micro lot they'll call it a mini lot or they'll call it a standard lock and all that really means is that a micro lot you're buying a thousand units a thousand dollars a thousand euros a thousand Australian dollars a thousand loonies right which is a Canadian dollar a thousand yen and a mini law is ten thousand of the same units or ten thousand dollars ten thousand 10,000 pounds right and then a standard law is a hundred thousand units okay so a hundred thousand dollars 100,000 euros and so forth and so forth and you can buy in multiple standard Lots and multiple many lots and multiple micro Lots okay so all it really is you're just buying money and what we want to profit from is that small change in cents right and just in not even the sense that you see when you're gonna pay right there just then we call them pips their percentage in points and I was gonna write all of this down there but you guys aren't really gonna see it that well even if we move that and that probably looks backwards so I thought that hey it probably won't be a good idea until I have something set up that we can do it but anyways we measure that change that small change in what's called pips percentage and points right but to keep it very basic it's just that small change in price so if it goes from you know the dollar euro being a dollar fifty to a dollar fifty one well if you have one single dollar oh it doesn't look backwards well do you guys would you guys let's bring it up to a vote guys at the true democracy right if you guys want me to write it there right like what pip is and a pair all that stuff micro lots mini lots and just either put in a whole bunch of hearts or just say hey do that I guess press yes or no yes or wired why or no you need a lot of dollars to make money from pips let me just move this right you need a lot of money to make yeah right bro it shouldn't it should just have to be not just keep talking all right so we got two two for one two for one if we can get some other people yes right – worth – at one this is this is your fight guys this is your fight I got no problem you guys got to scrap it out this is this is your beef yeah right alright cool then all right so let me keep talking yes ah we're shooting for yes so I guess we're gonna have to do it guys let me see how I can extend this out okay because I kind of tried but remember we're gonna also be doing this for YouTube and I don't know how they're much going to be seeing nah right it I'm kind of conflicted guys I'm kind of conflicted I'm trying to take notes I felt better just talking about it but well go ahead and get into it so what is Forex right we kind of talked about that if we go back to what our let me see if I can move this more to you guys over there just write it man we can see all right cool I'll write it I'll write it so we're talking about when you're buying right so you'll have one Microlock one micro yeah and guys by the way I am a trader I am NOT an English major okay I have never gone to college so if I write something wrong or it looks scribbly I haven't had to turn something into any teacher in a long time so so don't judge me okay so we have one micro which equals 1,000 units so we'll put 1k right if one the K means a thousand okay then we'll have one mini okay and that equals 10,000 and then we have and I can't read the questions now he can't see the questions or post because he's looking at the board yeah that's that's pretty much one thing there I mean it's a given to take guys it's a given it takes oh you know we have to we have to do a little bit if I don't see any questions you know so then we have one standard okay and I'll just put I'll just write it out standard okay and that equals 100,000 so you're probably asking yourself well you know Danny I don't have a thousand dollars or ten thousand dollars over a hundred thousand dollars to you know just by money right now and that's the great thing about Forex right so since we make money by a very small change right what we want to have is we want to have a lot of money right we want to be have access to large amount of money so any small change we can profit from that as much as possible so what they do or what Forex does is that it's a leveraged market so you're not just buying a thought you don't just need a thousand dollars to buy a thousand units like in the stock market it's leverage one to one where you need if you want to buy you know 200 shares and they cost $10 well then you need to cough up 2,000 bucks the cool thing about Forex is that we have something called leverage and leverage gives you the most that you're gonna get in the United States base broker it's gonna be 50 to 1 so for every dollar that you put in your broker is gonna give you $50 so if that's really cool right off the bat for every dollar so that means with a thousand dollar account right how much you guys are gonna have access to you guys are gonna have access to 1,000 times 50 so we'll add a zero so you're gonna have access to $50,000 that you guys now can trade so now you can get $50,000 and now you can buy several different positions of 10,000 positions right or maybe in this case I would recommend just thousands so you can just get two or three trades around $1,000 each right or a thousand units each and then those profits are not going to mount too much so how much does Forex see well Forex is just a market your broker is gonna charge you a small percentage for that hello sir your broker is gonna charge you they're gonna charge you a fee they're gonna be like hey look I'll do this for you I'll give you access to all these different currencies that you can buy and you can go over there and get that I'm just gonna charge you you know a dollar every time that you do that 50 Cent's every time you do that a dollar 25 depends on your broker right I'm gonna charge you a little bit every single time you do that and in between that there's something called the spread and right which is the difference and what you'll buy or what you'll sell but those are very minimal if anyone has any questions seems to cover the basics pretty well enjoy yeah thank you so Mac I lost a little check what I was saying there so they're gonna charge you a little bit for doing that right not gonna charge you a lot it's gonna be very little and then they say hey we'll charge you just for doing that service but now you guys have access to capital now you guys have a market and you guys can make money off with a small change that happens from a dollar it's without a 50 right and now you guys can do that with minimum money you don't have to spend so much money like the forex market let the stock market for you guys to have access to that so it's pretty cool once you guys have that and once you guys understand that now you got ready to say okay well now that I know what I'm buying now I know how much I'm buying right now I know how much money I can kind of put in an average beginner account it's gonna be anywhere between $500 to around $5,000 right oh this is yeah this is just a very basic overview on how to get started what what is it that you're buying you know one I what is Forex right like I hear for ice I hear everyone on Facebook or Instagram and all this stuff but I just don't know what it is I don't know what I'm buying I don't know where the market is it's a very it's a decentralized market so it doesn't have to go through all just one place like the stock market and it gives us at the beginning you've got a little bit of a bad reputation because a lot of the brokers are kind of messing with the messing with the traders and they could it was very unregulated but it's it's not like that anymore you'll still get your you know your shady brokers but most of the brokers that you guys are gonna be trading with like fxcm Forex you know just I'll powering all these people they're fine and those are just excuses that people give themselves when they don't feel it's a good trade oh my broker is screwing me right so now that you guys know what that is right how do you guys actually open up a demo account right and what is the demo account which do you use I'm using fxcm I'm using it through ninja trader so it's really fxcm but I'm using it through ninja trader so you're basically playing with the markets with other people's money but your own included um no you're playing with your money right because all the all that it is is that you're just getting the brokers giving you more money they're saying hey you know what I'll loan you this amount of money you just got to put in this deposit right and I'll let you play with $50,000 right that's how that's your notional value and you guys can look that up the notional value is the access or the capital that you guys can can you lose money you can of course you can lose okay this claimer disclaimer in the house you can lose all or more I don't even I don't know how they say all or more of your money but yeah you can lose your whole account like I have lost my accounts when you first get started it's not easy because there's a lot of emotions involved but now you guys have that written down I just kind of wanted to write that I know there's a few other things but they're just they're really not gonna be needed to write that down if you guys feel that there's something that you should then just write it down I trade binary options but want to learn for its yeah honestly dude look if you trade options I got into binary very very very briefly I went through Nadex and I just it was a little different for me I'm gonna get into it maybe later on but just right now it's it's I'm I want to teach people how to do for its of its simplicity and it's very simple for you guys to do so before to not make it too long now that we have that now that we know what we're buying right now we know okay so I know what the market is I know that's where banks go through to change their money I know that that's what they do I know how much I'm buying right I know that okay so for me to have access to that I need a deposit money in a bank or a broker and they're gonna give me access to this amount of money and I'm gonna be able to buy it in those amount of increments right where do I do that how much do you profit a month and how long have you been doing it you are passionate about this young man thank you yes I am I really do enjoy this I've been doing this since late 2012 I shoot for 3% a month right now we're up around 45 percent a month forty five percent of the year but um but I don't I don't there's not a specific amount of money that I make every single month of a trading it's really based off what happens it's a probabilities game so what is the least what is the least amount I can invest in the brokers that you can start with a $20 account I wouldn't recommend that at all but you can start out with I started out with a $500 account I think it's very small but I think that with a $500 account you can trade micro Lots like one micro lot and basically what that would give you is a micro I can write that down for you guys but a micro loan is gonna give you 10 cents per each pip right so for every pip that the market moves either up or down you're gonna you're gonna either make or lose 10 cents for that pip right a mini lot is gonna bring you a dollar per pip okay so every pip that moves right because now you're instead of buying a thousand now you're buying 10,000 right so since you're buying $10,000 that same little pimp move right instead of it being 10 cents now it's gonna be 10 a dollar when you say you can lose money you can only lose what you put in and what you gamble right yes exactly you you don't lose more because they have something that's called margin call and if you start if like and trust me margin calls award you you don't want to know what margin call is margin call basically means you're in a position right and it's going against you and they need to cover themselves because remember they're lending you this money so they just cut you out of the positions before it goes into the negative before you owe them money right so that that's you're never gonna have to worry yes of course I you cannot trade Forex without stop losses there's that's more into the technical of it thank you thank you for that stop-loss those are different type of orders that exist within the market but that's a little bit more technical like the buy stops or limits and and those are just different type of techniques or not techniques just orders that you have in the market no need to get into that right now what I want to show you guys is how to get started and how to download your platform how you guys can open up a demo account just for free and and just see what this is see what the charts look like and then from there you'll kind of start picking up on a little bit more so how do we do that well you're gonna go open up your browser right and I know I was finishing about the pips it's just that it's very you guys can look I'm a micro lot it's gonna be ten cents per pip a mini lot it's gonna be a dollar per pip and the standard lot is gonna be ten dollars per pip so very simple if you trade to micro Lots that's gonna be twenty cents I can't make any recommend recommendations on brokers but just know that the majority of the brokers that you're gonna find online they're fine of opening up a demo account it doesn't matter because the demo account all they're doing is it's just they're just connected they're they're not connecting you to the live market but they're getting access to all that data so it's the same thing as if as if it was so really you can go to fxcm you can go to Forex I'm gonna show you guys right now what to do that so the math on the micro lots and the mini just so we can end that is very simple so a micro lot like I said it's ten cents if you wanna get to micro Lots that'll be twenty cents if you want to get 5 micro Lots and I'll be 50 if you want to get five mini Lots right it'll be $5 if you want to get five standard Lots it's gonna be $50 so it'sit's the same way so the math is simple on that so now that we did this right how do we find a broker right I want to find a broker Danny how do I open up how do

put the lead series okay you're gonna delete that and then you're gonna click on these lines click delete series okay so now you have a booty naked chart that's what you want you want a booty naked alright now once it's booty naked now you guys are looking at price action now you guys this is price this is what the euro versus the dollar has done in price right for in and every single candle represents five minutes and we're gonna change this to an hour okay so now this represents one hour okay and we're not gonna go into the details of this all this is because that's for another video and we'll do that for tomorrow but now you guys have this and now you guys are seeing the same thing that I see over here my platform is just different but this is my platform all right it's gonna have different things yeah that's fine but I mean it really doesn't matter that we're seeing the same thing look I can put up we're gonna find over here Eurodollar right on the 60 minute and then look what that other chart looks like so we're gonna put Eurodollar 60 minutes right it looks the same I'm sorry boom guys I'm sorry this platform is different all right it looks the same it's different right but it's the same thing we had this nine bar right here where's your USD but um right there so same thing just different platform same thing okay and that's what I want you to see so right I'll leave you guys with this what are these charts they are the visual representation of the actions that traders all over the world are taking so when I sell write this tensor when a lot of people sell the market will go down one people buy the market will go up so in this case right now if we zoom in right for the past hour people have been selling if we look over here in this candle for this hour a lot of people were selling a lot of people were selling here too a lot of people were selling right there right and then right here well what why did this move damn it right here people started buying little by little they started buying they sold so that's that's really what's happening here people were just buying and selling buying and selling buying and selling based off of where they think that it's gonna go based off of what they mean some people work in a place in positions to hedge themselves versus what could happen if they're gonna make a purchase in a few months and they don't know if it's gonna go up or go down that drop made a lot of people profit yes it made a lot of people profit it's a lot of you last money you know really went both ways I think that in the case when you look at trading more people lost money than made money there's a very few percentage of people that are making money and it's not to discourage you guys but it's to let you guys know that it's not that simple as in hey I'm just gonna throw in money but if you learn the right way it can be simpler than most think okay so I don't want to I don't want to sell you guys a dream and tell you guys hey you're gonna be millionaires by tomorrow that's what I got sold on and I don't want to get sold that stuff so you're not gonna be a millionaire tomorrow you're not gonna open up a few thousand dollar account and turn that into fifty thousand by the end of the year it's not gonna happen if it does happen kudos to you keep doing what you're doing much much love show me because they'd be I'd be very interested in seeing something like that but it just doesn't happen Forex will take you some time it's gonna take you a year two years three years four years even five years it can take you right but just know that what you're acquiring right is equally as to most right equally as beneficial than a finance degree than a business degree than a medical degree because once you have the skill right and hear me out because I know some of you guys are probably like what do you mean right once you have the skill to produce a forty to sixty percent return a year right all that you need left is capital right once you have that skill what you need left is just capital in large amount of it right because once you make a forty fifty percent all it really is your says let's just apply a whole bunch of money to that because of 50 percent of $5,000 is twenty five hundred bucks a 50 percent of $1,000,000 is five hundred thousand dollars right the same skill right the same skill it's just the amount of money that you applied to it so don't be dumb B word if it takes you five years and if you're like hey you know I'm not gonna be able to save enough money to start up a big account that's fine right because once you have the skill people with money will throw their money at you they there's a lot of people with a lot of money and they don't know what to do with it and they're they want to give it to someone that can turn it into something big and a forty to fifty percent return a year for investor is something huge okay so I want to let you guys know that so without being said guys I hope that this was basic enough I installed I hate installing programs on my computer but I installed one for you guys okay so you know I'm just letting you know I did that for you guys so I don't want to hear any excuses I don't know how to get started I don't know I showed you guys exactly once you have this then it's gonna be a lot easier for you to follow through with the other videos and we're gonna be making a follow through tomorrow so what do you do after this right so for those that are interested make sure you hit subscribe follow us everywhere cuz tomorrow we're gonna
