This is the introduction to the video series here to grow the paper portfolio on TradingView in an attempt to beat the S&P500 in real time. The reasoning behind this is that it is usually difficult to start trading stocks especially because you don't know what you don't know. It generally takes a couple of years for a trader to make a whole bunch of mistakes, before reaching a level of understanding to see right vs wrong, and even then the trader still learns something new every day.
It took me a couple of years to make even the tiniest sense of what was going on in the market and all along I thought was going to beat the slim odds and master the stock market in 3-5 months! I decided to make this as a way to further challenge myself and to show other traders who are struggling with the process. This will not be a one time "get rich quick" process with excessive risk-taking or gambling, but a more disciplined approach to trading without all the bs that floods the internet these days. Hopefully, the portfolio beats the S&P500, but if not we will live to fight another day (many large funds cannot beat the S&P500 so it's totally fine).
Trades based on my personal trading strategy (detail about when and why certain trades are placed) including concepts about sticking to a trading plan, risk management and trading psychology. Monthly updates on the current state of the portfolio will be made starting from 09/06/18 and every month from that point onward. The goal is mainly to help other traders learn good things and do away with bad habits, and secondarily attempt to beat the S&P500 in real time
Starting capital - $10,000
Risk per trade - 1%
Max. positions at a time - 20
Investment style - Equities long only (no short-selling, only stocks >$7, technical analysis > fundamental analysis)
Again, the stocks that will be shown will not be shown as investment advice but rather shown as a form of education only. Comment on what you would like to see or hear more about!
Thanks and stay tuned (will try to keep videos 5-7 mins long)!
