WOW… he absolutely killed that challenge. That was more than impressive.

[TradesbyMatt]

Appreciate you Daniel! Loved doing this and learning from it.

[Ewiniger]

You should continue the day trading series, it’s so interesting & you’ve inspired me to start trading. I’m still paper trading but I’m excited to really give it a go

[Nimy.]

This clearly shows that people think it’s easy money but you need a lot of experience and skill in order to be profitable.

Matt was using volume at price for his support and resistances. That’s actually quite a brilliant strategy on the short term. Thank you for this video, definitely got a new subscriber 👍🏻

Used to watch Matt everyday when I traded - one thing that always impressed me was his patience to sit in a trade. I remember there was one day he sat in a long and was -$2000 in draw down; he was patient and waited for it to play out and ended up going green on the trade. I dont remember how long it took, but long enough for me to have had multiple heart attacks if it were me in the trade.

I would have loved a summary table comparing both your numbers: total daily trades, volume per trade, percentage lost to fees... And then some commentary about how your trading behavior negatively impacted your results.

I’d love to see a professional trading challenge with all the trading gurus on social media to see who is legit and who isn’t.

[AutoFOCUSED.]

You seemed so demoralized in the end but it was still dope to see how humble you are and the fact that you were willing to show the humility to the world. So many channels that only show the wins. So much respect.

“Push yourself to that spot to where you hate it and can’t stand it to level up” sooo true! Once you hit the bottom the only way is up.

[FlorinPop]

That was amazing to watch! Kudos to Matt! 👏

[Mattbriggs]

This was really good to see. Thanks for the insight!

[okg]

Great content. It helps people to understand the obscurity of 'who tf is winning in here'. I think when you on drive, showing mistakes and tips about your trades will be great content in the next one.

[CharlesMontgomeryNWeSource]

Thank you for sharing Daniel & Matt - fantastic to watch both of you. Your honesty and transparency is very refreshing.

[qijunleo]

This entire video was crazy awesome. I like the advice Matt shared about how just gotta get the screen time in and subconsciously see patterns and trends. Stuff like that can't be learnt overnight or over a short period of time and does come with experience. Thank you for doing this challenge both of you :)

[KaliAndy]

Matt is an absolute beast. Like how he keeps it fairly simple. Understanding how to read volume is huge.

[marlon-caballero]

Honestly love this series and content. It is honest and real. Thank you. It’s crazy to see someone take a small account to that much.

[alonga]

That was awesome. Thanks for making this. Keep em coming.

[johnattaway]

Thank you for the video guys, it was awesome & inspiring as well...
