There are things about trading that sound completely obvious… until you discover they're wrong.

If price goes up, there must be more buyers than sellers… right?

A strategy with a 90% win rate must be better than one with a 40% win rate… right?

If you're risking 1% on every trade, you know exactly how much risk you're taking… right?

Not necessarily.

In this video, I break down 7 trading concepts that most beginners are never properly taught — but once you understand them, the markets start making a lot more sense.

We cover:

• Why prices REALLY move
• Why every trade has both a buyer and a seller
• Why a high win rate can still lose money
• Why profitable strategies can't always be scaled indefinitely
• Why EUR/USD doesn't have one single global price
• Why your broker and TradingView can show different prices
• What candlesticks DON'T tell you
• Why 1% risk isn't always 1% account risk
• Why profitable traders don't need to be right most of the time

None of these concepts will tell you where EUR/USD is going tomorrow.

What they WILL do is improve the mental model you have of how trading actually works.

And that's important.

Because the better you understand the machinery underneath the market, the harder it becomes to be fooled by impressive win rates, screenshots, trading myths and confident people on the internet.

If you're new to trading, start here.

As a beginner investor, having the right mentor can make all the difference .Chris James Cooks has been my trade consultant analyst, helping me identify key market trends, spot strategic entry and exit points, and better understand risk management. Chris James Cooks guidance has helped me make more informed trading decisions that align with market conditions and my investment goals.

Turning $18K into $311K isn’t about luck — it’s consistency, discipline, and choosing the right assets. 📈💰 The Real challenge is staying patient when progress feels slow. Good spending habits, good saving habits and very importantly investing into good appreciating assets can be life changing..❤❤

At 55, earning 45K biweekly… but honestly, the money isn't even the highlight. What means the most is having a family that stood by me when life was tough. I'm living the life I once prayed for. If you're still fighting your battles, don't lose hope — your season is coming. ❤️

I stopped listening to random predictions and started focusing on financial education, managing risk, and sticking to one strategy that works for me. Today I officially hit my new year goal of $200k. Just a reminder that it's not about where you Start, it's about trusting the process and staying consistent..

Another account gone… down $1,790. 😭 I’ve studied, backtested, practiced, and I’m still struggling while the people I started trading with are doing so well. It’s honestly frustrating as hell. 💔 Sometimes I wonder if they have another source of income making trading easier for them, or if I’m just missing something. Is trading even real, or am I just chasing a dream? Anyone else been here?

@GarrettDavenport-q7n 1 day ago

I’m honestly struggling right now 😔. Lost $11k overnight and it feels like every trade I take ends up going the wrong way. I stick to my rules, manage my risk, and try to stay disciplined, but the results just aren’t there. It’s starting to take a real toll on my confidence.....

As a beginner in trading, keep these four principles firmly in mind:
1. Think long-term. Real success in trading is built over time, not overnight.
2. Be prepared to take calculated risks. Every investment carries risk, so learn to manage it wisely.
3. Be disciplined with your money. If your spending is not helping you grow or generate returns, reconsider it.
4. Never assume you know everything. Stay humble, keep learning, ask questions, and seek guidance from a qualified financial advisor whenever possible.

For anyone new to TRADING: stop looking at the 1-minute charts. I lost so much money early on because I was reacting to every tiny wiggle. Once I started looking at the higher timeframes and understanding institutional flow, my stress levels dropped and my hits started landing. Trading is 90% patience and 10% execution.

Does anyone actually make money doing this? I’ve been at it for a year, bought 3 different courses, and I’m still just blowing accounts. Every time I think I’ve figured out a strategy, the market does the exact opposite. I’m literally one loss away from just deleting my broker app and quitting for good.

As a beginner, I've faced heavy losses trying to trade on my own. No matter how much I study, my small investments aren't growing. Any tips or recommendations would mean a lot.

You work for 45yrs to have $1m in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi-millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life.

1 for me. I have never really understood getting filled and buyers v sellers and why price still moves if there are both sides but you have been able to explain so clearly and make it easy to take in. Makes it so clear why price shoots up when it does and why it needs to be manipulated for big playets to be filled but a video on how is it manipulated would be great.. how do big players bring price down again? Thanks

I started trading to pay bills.
No other source of income.
Do or die.
Now I make about $400-$500 per day on small pre-market moves. Yes, I trade the trend on the 5 minute chart using 9 EMA and VWAP. I learned the hard way how to take a small profit. It’s ok to close a small trade and be done for the day. it’s all about the psychology. When I stopped trying to turn a $300 trade into a $1,000 trade, I started winning.

This video remind me how my life completely turned around, I hit $1M today, two years ago, I was sleeping in a basement apartment with zero savings and mounting debt. I stopped chasing 'get rich quick' schemes and started focusing on risk management and one solid edge. Today, I just cleared my 2026 financial goal. It's not about where you start, it's about the process..

I've tested 6 different 1-minute scalping strategies and keep getting smoked. Stopped out. Overtrade. Tilt. Repeat. Meanwhile I watch traders online make 1-min scalping look like free money. Effortless entries. Instant profits. Real question: Who actually teaches this the right way in real time? Not signals. Not replays. I want live logic while candles print. Is there a real teacher out here or is it all YouTube smoke?

#4, forex is not standardized. This is one of the issue with forex trading.

@Ericanderson-p3f 2 days ago

I'm honestly tired at this point. I've changed strategies, stayed patient, studied for hours and still my account keeps bleeding. Watching everyone else post profits while I struggle to stay consistent is mentally draining. Starting to wonder if trading is actually real, or if most of us are just being set up to lose😢

Great video Jason! I'll be honest-this journey completely changed my life. I went from having almost nothing to building a home in Florida, starting with just a $3,000 account and growing it to $41,600 in only two weeks. The biggest change for me wasn't finding a "secret indicator"... it was learning proper risk management, patience, and sticking to a proven process. If you're serious about trading, don't just chase signals. Learn from someone with real market knowledge and focus on building skills that last.

I had a really good year with investing and now I’m trying to be smarter about taxes. This year I’m focusing on putting money into assets and businesses instead of just letting it sit.
I’ve been learning a lot from following Shirley Hopkins. I like that she explains things clearly and focuses on long term thinking instead of hype.
