Q & A
Why has online trading become so popular?
-Online trading has become popular because it allows for both upside and downside operations, enabling investors to capitalize on price increases or decreases. Additionally, it facilitates short-term operations that are accessible to a wider range of people, not just institutional investors or large financial funds.
What are the two main types of operations in trading?
-The two main types of operations in trading are long operations, where one invests expecting the price to increase, and short operations, where one invests expecting the price to decrease.
What are the major currencies in forex trading?
-Major currencies in forex trading are the most liquid ones with more money involved and lower volatility. They include pairs like Euro/US Dollar and US Dollar/Japanese Yen.
What is the significance of contract value per point in trading?
-The contract value per point indicates how much money is being handled for each single contract. It can be, for example, 10,000 or 100,000 euros, and it determines the potential exposure and risk in a trade.
How does margin work in trading?
-Margin allows traders to control a larger contract value than the amount of money they have in their account. It provides leverage, which multiplies the potential gains and losses. For instance, a 3.33% margin on a 100,000 euro contract provides a 30:1 leverage.
What are the two main costs associated with trading?
-The two main costs associated with trading are the margin interest rates, which are applied when a position is held open past a certain time, and the spread, which is the difference between the buying and selling prices and serves as the broker's commission.
What are the three ways to buy a stock according to the script?
-The three ways to buy a stock are: 1) buying at market price, where one buys at the current market rate; 2) placing a limit order, where one specifies a price at which they want to buy; and 3) placing a stop order, where one buys the stock when the price reaches a certain level, anticipating a rise or fall in price.
How does a stop loss work in trading?
-A stop loss is an order placed with a broker to sell a stock when it reaches a certain price. It is designed to limit an investor's loss on a position by automatically selling the stock if it reaches a specified, unfavorable price.
What is the goal of a trader according to the script?
-The goal of a trader is to increase the probability of successful operations by conducting analysis to add value to their choices. They aim to make informed decisions that will result in gains that are greater than their losses.
What are the two main categories of traders?
-The two main categories of traders are technical analysts, who base their analysis on past price trends, and fundamental analysts, who focus on news and financials related to the assets they are trading.
What is a money management strategy in trading?
-A money management strategy in trading is a plan that helps traders decide how much they are willing to risk and how much they aim to gain on each trade. It includes setting stop losses to limit potential losses and take-profit points to secure gains.

Highlights
The speaker begins a series of trading lessons, starting with the basics.
Online trading has become popular due to its ability to conduct both long and short operations, allowing for investment based on price increases or decreases.
Another reason for the popularity of online trading is the ability to perform short-term operations, which were once accessible primarily to institutional investors and large financial entities.
The first lesson focuses on shares and forex, explaining that purchasing a share represents a small portion of ownership in a company, while forex involves investing in currency exchange rates.
Major currencies are recommended for initial investment due to their liquidity and lower volatility.
Indices are baskets of stocks, such as the DAX index, which includes the 30 largest capitalized German stocks.
Commodities are also an asset class available for investment.
The speaker uses the Kimura trading platform for analysis, highlighting its reliability and customer service.
The contract value per point indicates the amount of money handled for each contract, which can vary based on the chosen value.
Margin and leverage allow traders to control a larger contract value with a smaller investment, but also magnify both potential gains and losses.
Traders aim to increase the probability of successful operations through analysis, starting with a 50% chance and aiming to add to this through informed decision-making.
Trading costs include margin fees, leverage fees, and spread fees, which are commissions based on the difference between buying and selling prices.
There are three ways to buy: at market price, with a limit order, or with a stop order, each with its own risks and benefits.
A money management strategy is crucial to ensure gains outweigh losses, with stop losses set to limit potential losses and targets set to achieve desired gains.
Technical analysts base their analysis on past price trends, while fundamental analysts study news and financial reports.
The speaker concludes the basic lesson and encourages viewers to follow the series for more information.
Transcripts
water bottle glass sheets pen let's start let's start the trading lessons starting from those
basics which are 23:49 don't ask me why I'm recording this video now I will watch the
first two hours of this course taking all possible notes after which I will do you summarized
with the key points so that you too can start learning something about trading this
is the first video of this playlist and this is the basic course obviously starting from scratch
this thing will be gradually advanced to delve into deep trading if you can say
now starts after which I get summarized explanation it's 26 I just finished
watching the first lesson it was really basic basic anyway I took lots of notes and
then tomorrow morning I tell you all most of these things I already knew them first thing
obviously you have to build solid foundations on which you can then start assembling the
various things now it's their time to sleep and then tomorrow morning I'll give you a summary of all the
things I've learned hello good morning first thing let's start with a quote from a
not very trivial person called warren buffett I think you know him he says I only invest in things
I know so first of all you have to thinking about learning I suggest you take
pen leaves in hand because I will start bomb why online trading has become so popular for
two reasons essentially because it allows us to do both upside and downside
operations and therefore invest on the long operation study that the price increases or investing in a
short operation and then investing after studying that the price will decrease plus another reason why
online trading has become so famous is because it allows us to do many
short-term operations and is more or less at the reach of all while once those who could
afford to make these operations were these strong hands these investors institutional therefore
large banks or large financial funds that therefore had a strong presence on
the stock exchange in what we can between giving and therefore investing we can invest in these asset
classes there are an infinity of different ones but in this first lesson luca mainly deals with
shares and forex when we talk about the purchase of a share we are talking about the purchase of an equity of
a company and therefore a small portion of that company of that company when instead we
talk about investing in forex we are talking about investing in foreign exchange and therefore in the value relationships between two
different currencies for example euro dollar dollar yen there are still many currencies and therefore
many different forex, those on which they recommend investing are initially called major currencies
which are therefore the most liquid ones with more money inside them and therefore also with a lower volatility
after which within the asset classes there are also indices and therefore baskets of these
stocks i therefore if you buy or sell an index you are buying a set of many companies or
many companies for example the dax index contains the 30 stocks with the largest capitalization in germany
after which among the asset classes there are not only these three but there are also commodities and many
others now let's start going a little more in detail regarding what we can find
within our investment platform and the tools that our
broker makes available to us as proof I have relied on the demo account of kimura trading
i have not been here to do analysis specifically on which broker to go as in the end they are almost
all very similar and the great importance in the choice that i have heard from luca and also from other
traders is the reliability and customer service since kimura Luca uses it and
23 other friends and me also use it have decided to open a demo account with them so it is completely
free so to do my first pen tests I know it is the best choice so now
the screenshots that will appear around here are taken from the demo platform of kimura trading
so if you want to follow this step by step I also leave you the link to open a demo account
with kimura so free it costs you nothing said this the analysis of the
important things that you will find within this platform began to do so the first thing is the
contract value per point so how much money we are handling for each single contract can
be 10 thousand euros can be 100 thousand euros and that is the value of every single contract
so when we buy when we sell when we are written 1 we know that we are handling
a contract that can be worth 100 thousand euros or 10 thousand euros now I leave you an example screenshot of
the kimura platform for example on kimura in euro dollar the value of contract per point
is 100 thousand euros and the minimum tradable value is one tenth of a contract so 10 thousand euros is now
there an interesting thing because I have to have 10 thousand euros to buy that contract no there is this
thing called margin according to which we can only have a percentage of that contract and
make us to stay the remaining money from the broker on kimura the margin 3.33 for one hundred which therefore
provides us with a leverage of 30 because one hundred divided by 3.33 is equal to 30 so summing up
we must have 3.33 percent of the contract to be able to buy that contract for
example if we want to buy a contract of 10 thousand euros which is the minimum contract that can be purchased
we must have 333 euros in our portfolio and therefore if we make 333 for
30 it makes 10 thousand euros and therefore we have a leverage of 30 on the money we invest I hope I
was clear but it's all one thing mathematics a 3.33 percent so percent divided by 3.33 is equal
to 30 30 our leverage on the capital we have invested but there is a great risk because if
we lose money we lose money in leverage here ndi multiplied by 30 times the same thing
if we earn money so if we earn money we earn that money multiplied
by 30 times so it is an advantage because it generates more earnings but also a disadvantage
because it multiplies our losses so what is the trader's job first of all the trading is a
job and must be taken as such we are not talking about playing with financial instruments but we are
talking about investing money by doing analysis and our work we have this big
pie divided into two buying and selling 50 percent of the chances that the market falls to 50
percent of the chances that the market saga what we traders must do so
that our choice which is a potential for success that 50 percent we have to
try to add through our analysis some slices to our choice we assume
we want to buy we fifty percent chance that that choice is
right through additional analysis ngiamo a little 10 percent and 20 percent
30 percent our goal is to increase the probability of success of our operation
and this happens through the analyzes we will talk about later said this how much it costs
to trade there are two big commissions a date from the margin and therefore from the leverage is a date
from the spread when the margin opens the money within that contract is not all
ours because on the 10 thousand euros we were talking about before we have invested and only 300 euros
the remaining 9,700 euro the broker lent them to us so the broker is carrying out the
so-called founding on that founding the broker is here to earn so every day he will apply
interest rates on that founding how can we avoid these rates
these rates are not applied to us if we close the operation before 11 while if
we close it after 11 in the evening that rate will be applied to us after which there is a second
paragraph ssion the commission on the spread that is the difference between those who buy and those who sell which is
also the commission that the broker receives according to the liquidity and volatility of a certain
market in a given period of time practically how it works when we are entering a
order to make a purchase a sale as we will immediately notice we will immediately start in
default of the spread for which we will pay at the opening of an operation and you will see
that each operation starts in negative just the cost of this commission so what to do
for sure the broker it will be facilitated by this thing because the more operations you make the more you will pay
this spread while if you do less for shares with a higher profit you will pay the spread only
for the number of operations you will do so when you go to open a transaction
also think about how much the you want to keep in your account how much you are going to pay for funding and
how many operations you are going to do now let's see how to buy there are three different ways
one is very simple to buy the market price the share of the banana spa now has the market costs 50
euros I buy a share of the banana spa for 50 euros this is the first way the second way is
to do a limit order the price of the banana spa is now at 50 but I don't want to buy it 50
I want to buy it if and when it reaches 45 so in the platform I place my order when and if
the price will reach 45 I want to buy an action set this order it is not said that then it will be
covered and that the action goes from 45 it can happen that this action never reaches 45 and my
order is never covered and therefore I never buy that action the third way and the order
stop what it means the action at 50 well now I don't want to buy it at 50 because I am uncertain
in its ascent and descent but I see depending on my studio that you get to touch
55 it is destined to always go up so I think ok I imposed an order to 5 5 because I know after doing
my study that if it reaches 55 it goes up in the sky and goes to 150 so inside the platform I say
well I want to buy a share of the banana spa when the price reaches 55 and only when the price reaches
55 I will buy this share as before it is not said that my order is covered
so the price touches 55 it can simply decrease continuously never touch 55
so the order is covered only when it reaches 55 once this contract has been bought
and therefore a once our order has been covered we must already know how much we aim to
resell that stock and how much we are willing to lose and all this according
to our money management strategy will now treat this very briefly with a simple
money management strategy we assume that we took the action at 50 we are willing to lose hicks
per cent for example out of 50 we are willing to lose 10 per cent so 5 then in the
plate taforma we will set a stop loss at 45 since we bought at 50 so if the action
after having made all its changes arrives 45 we directly sell that action and conclude
the operation with a loss while our target is the one to which we we assume to
arrive because we have obviously studied to gain not to lose is 60 a
money management strategy is precisely and make sure that we aim to have gains that are double
our losses so we can afford to lose twice and then earn a time
only because if you are trading for sure it will happen at the time when it concludes in
negative operation so if you foresee this thing in your money management structure
you must make sure that the losses are covered by the gains in this way we said 50
we bought 45 we set our sport plus and our target is at 60 so we aim
for double the gain compared to the loss all these things can obviously be set in
the platform and make automatic sales orders at 45 and 60 then you get to 60 sells
if you get 45 sells obviously you can also do combined strategies that for example if
the stock arrives 55 I sell half of the shares that I bought and I shoot on the stop loss no longer at 45 but 50
so in any case even if I conclude the operation I managed to make gains and there are
various other strategies that we could talk about later said this is the last basic lesson that
the world of traders is divided into two categories technical analysts and fundamental
analysts technical analysts say that the price has already been discounted by all the news that
can occur in the world and therefore they base all their analysis on the past trend of the price
then there are also fundamental analysts who therefore, instead of studying the price, study
the news for what concerns the forex and the news budgets for what concerns from the
shares then the former will invest based on the study of the price and the latter will invest based
on the study of the news that said the first basic smattering video is finished if you want
