An important factor I learned trading NQ futures for the past two years is to be patient and wait for the market to trend or break out of a consolidation. Trading in a tight range is a good way to grind your account quickly and become emotional.
Yes , you are so right - It’s like forcing love,
Idk you might have realised if you patient the market present it self with set ups which you can trade but even me I just want to trade and get off the screen but when I come back that night to analyse I see that if I had waited like 30 more minutes I could have had the most perfect trade which would have been under my set up too patient is key in this game I realised
Watchng this video 20th time in last 3 month. It makes my psychology right.
Tom, you are really generous. You and your channel now is crucially important part of my life now. God bless you always. And thank you for existing.
36:18, i'm on the edge of my seat. this is really a priceless video. thank you again
One of the best scalping commentary to watch.
Thank you so much, Harvey
I endorse this comment👌
Hi, Tom I came across your lecture, and I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make this! This is exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you kindly.
Thank you Tom! Amazing video!
Love your stuff Tom, been around for a while, and you are definitely the real deal, look forward to making you a part of my trading world!
You are welcome 🙏
Hello Tom, after scalping the last year and a half or so I'm really impressed with how you are verbally describing the price action and defining these tricky situations. I'm slowly starting to see what I "feel" are good bull or bear scalp setups but watching and listening to you here helps so much in actually labeling and describing what is going on. Thanks!
Thank you, Brandon. 🙏
I just wonder, why I haven't found your videos before. There are by far the most informative of scalping, I have ever watched. Thank you
Thank you 🙏 Welcome to the channel, we hope you find more content of value to you.
TOM SIR, LOTS OF LOVE & REGARD FROM INDIA. I HAVE TONS OF RESPECT FOR YOU. MAY GOD BLESS YOU, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH, FINALLY I FOUND WHAT I WAS IN SEARCH OF SINCE MONTHS
Been a member of toms gtroup now for few years, covid sparked my lust for learning, and this is very informative thank you tom for taking the time to share
Thank you Kelvin.
Thank you very much for this, I am enjoying your tutorials. Even though I do not understand everything (beginners' issues) I find it easy to follow.
You are welcome. Didn't everyone start at one point? Most of the videos are rather long (I think we missed the youtube concept). What you can do is coming back and rewatch from time to time. You will often notice more when you watch it a 2nd or even a 3rd. time.
Brilliant insight for me Tom, Thank you.
Thank you Ashley James , you can find more related videos in the Scalping playlist.
Every word from Mr. Tom is absolute wisdom. 🙏
Thank you 🙏
this waiting at 55.50 is a great lesson, patience, maybe have some stories stored up for these moments. Keep us entertained while we wait! :)
i have taken down notes on my trading journal and name these scalping techniques as Tom Scalps :)
Hi Stanley, I'm not sure if you saw part 2? Else here is something for the weekend: kzhead.info/sun/fJqdZZiHe4SQppE/bejne.html
I just become your 68800 follower and i am highly impressed by the igh didactic value of your videos !! Thanks for sharing them !!
Thank you 🙏- and welcome to the community.
Thanks for the video Tom
You are welcome 👍
Just started trading and your videos have been very helpful! Yet I am a bit confused. So these are the criteria for buying on close. Note I will refer to everything as bullish because bearish would be the exact opposite. - if we have a full blown bullish candle with zero to no tail or wix then we go long because it appears that there is momentum in the bullish market - if a level of resistance has been established from previous higher highs/lows the same day and a candle manages to break above it but doesn't close above the level of resistance, i.e the candle's body doesn't surpass the level of resistance then we will go short . Are there any other criteria for entry if so may you please reply to this comment with the list of criteria of entries and I learnt from your videos that take profits are special to every market however may you elaborate a bit more on that. Best regards,
This i so F...g good!
Thanks for sharing great knowledge Tom. CU

Pleas make part 3
Im new to trading and am trying to learn. I was told by a friend to watch your videos. Im very interested in forex. Would you say your videos on scalping, other methods, psychology, etc are directed to a certain audience (forex traders vs stock market)? Does it even matter?
Hello Matt You can use this on any chart. However, I would not scalp single stocks or FX.
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.
That’s crazy, I’m just doing everything wrong with my portfolio.
The US-Stock Mrkt had been on it’s longest bull-run in history, so the mass hysteria and panic is relatable considering we’re not accustomed to such troubled mrkts, but there are avenues lurking around if you know where to look. My wife and I are retiring this year with over $7,000,000 in tax deferred investments. up until 3 years ago we were 100% in the S&P. During bear markets we had a perfect plan. We got an investment manager in our corner and didn’t look at our portfolio for nearly a year.
Same here, 75% of my portfolio is in the red and I really don’t know how long I can stomach the losses. I’m beginning to reach a breaking point.
Patience patience patience. It's a cycle.... a sucky point in the cycle, but a cycle nonetheless.
Wow, that’s stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio.
Does buy on close work on a 10 minute time frame for the Dow?
You can use everything Tom teaches at any time frame. So yes to Dow on a 10 min.
Hi Tom, thank you for this video. I've learned a lot. It's clear to me where to take losses now. Could you elaborate a little more on profit taking?
Hi Daniel C, thank you for your good question. I think it would be better to make a video on this matter. Else I would have to write an easy about the topic. However, Tom homeschooling, trading, give signals to the Telegram Group, and working on his new website and a huge list of videos to be made. Your questions are on the list to be answered in an in-depth way.
@@MindsetMojoHacks Hi Lennie, I've looked at Tom's website and Telegram and he doesn't seem to be active. I'm also wondering why you're replying on behalf of Tom. Is he no longer active on KZhead? Maybe you bought his channel and content?. It's all good stuff , I'm just wanting to understand :)
@@alip4207 interesting that neither replied to your question.
@@norm9069 I am part of Tom's Telegram group and Lennie is someone that helps Tom with his IT. Tom gets loads of messages across the different platforms and often apologizes he can't keep up. Although they didn't reply here, Lennie is genuinely associated with the real Tom Hougaard (there are many fake accounts)
very nice session sir 🙌🙌
Thank you - don't forget part 2
Jeg glæder mig til den dag jeg kommer rigtigt i gang med trading - har lært utroligt af at være med på sidelinien - men pt. er jeg forelsket ;-)
Godt at høre - men burde du i det mindste ikke bruge hvad du har lært på en demo konto eller en lille funded konto ?
Hlo tom I love u r videos u talk about trading be true I m trader who wip up account 3 time in one year soo please advise me what I should do please reply ....once again thank u soo much
Without knowing you or your trading style - you got to look inside .... get your trader's mindset right.
What account risk % are you using per trade on the scalping strategy? Many thanks i would think 0.5 or 0.75 is appropriate?
Most of the time it is not a % but a fixed amount.
I'm a 4:1 trader so I'm swimming in losses 68.75% of the time. 31.25% of the time I'm right. I'd rather trade a fixed amount than a constant 1%. It's not unheard of for me to see 10 trade losses in a row occasionally. But I'd hate to see 10% of my account gone. That doesn't sit well with me.
Very interesting process and reasoning. I would like to look at those stats you mention, although this is a one year old video so they may be no longer available.
Sorry - it's a little late.
Very interesting. Thanks a lot for sharing
Mikkel, you are welcome.
How can i join your group? Your content is damn amazing and it works... I trade gold and what you teach is absolutely beneficial.

I too trade gold, any ideas?

Hi Tom, can you please confirm if you have the telegram channel for investors who are willing to send you money and you can trade for them with high returns? Thank you
I answered this question already. Please read the answer before you post the same question again.
Thx Tom
Well explained in terms of trading range. Would it been better to scalp if having considering trade volumes
Can't you see where vol is building with your eyes? - else you have homework to do.
I understand what you are saying. An accurate volume counter is crucial to my scalping decisions
Hi Tom, Can you do a video on scalping gbp/usd. And gold. Thanks
You have definitely not watched many of the streams. Short answer NO. So you think you have more important things to do - so better a Pro Trader takes you thou what you are too lazy to find on your own?
What I saw in the last part was that you would e been stopped out more times than not when the price kept moving up and down and ultimately went up. The beginning was understandable but after the initial big move up, t he ere wasn’t enough action to not get stopped out unless the stops were extremely large which is not smart.
Virkelig god info, hvad er dit take med s&p 500 FUTURES, men denne metode?. takker.
Hej Morten, du kan sagtens handle SP500 futures. Det eneste du skal være opmærksom på er dit gebyr/commision. Nogle steder betaler man ret meget for, at handle futures og så er ideen med at scalpe nogle få points ikke rentabel.
Lennie Clausen takker, men jeg tænker også i forhold til volatilitet. Jeg tænker at øve mig på MES. Når jeg stopper med paper trading. Får at få en føling med det.
@@mortenstenberg5452 sp500 har fin volatilitet.
1:23 Audio clears up.

Hi Tom..any indicator u use in scalping??
Tom prefers to use Naked charts. But from time to time he put an ema on the chart. If you have 15 min. you will see Toms approach to indicators: kzhead.info/sun/ibmjp6hpj4yHpas/bejne.html
@@MindsetMojoHacks EMA of what period?
@@shashikantamishra5399 this has everything to do with your own trading style. I know Tom has used 50 and 89. Personally, I use 9 and 34 EMA. You could try those.
@@MindsetMojoHacks thank you
@@MindsetMojoHacks in 5minutes candle or 1minute??
ive been trying to learn to read level 2 and order flow for a while but i keep seeing traders who dont use it? was told by a wall street trader that is how some of the best trade im so confused way too much info on the internet just found you and i like your channel thanks!!
Hello, level 2 data is indeed useful. But you can train your eyes to see the levels. The internet and youtube are full of people trying to sell you fancy indicators, prem courses, and live rooms. But to be successful you got to take the time and make your own plan. What good for you. What timeframes are best for you, what risk levels, what setups, etc? You got to plan your trades and trade your plan. And be aware most youtube channels just try to sell you stuff. The easy path to trading will most likely be the wrong path.
@@MindsetMojoHacks appreciate the insight have a good day sir!!
Hello. Are heikin ashi candles and vwap a good support for scalping? Thanks
Hello Paolo, Tom isn't a big fan of indicators. Personally, I can see value in vwap. But you really need to have as few indicators on your chart as possible. It is so easy to get information overflow if you have a lot of indicators on your chart. You might want to watch this video. kzhead.info/sun/ibmjp6hpj4yHpas/bejne.html
Thanks for the fast reply. Oh yes, I totally agree on TA indicators. I'm woking on naked price (and volume at time) chart, testing HA to get a clearer view of the trend and the momentum. Last but not least, for scalping, I'm switching from time to tick charts (to incorporate price and volume into a single "tool"). What do you think about tick chart? Thanks
@@paolo357 anything less than 1 min. is to fast for me. Some indicators can be good. But you need to understand why you use it what is the pros and cons. ie. regarding Heikin I do see pros but I see more cons
Thanks Lennie. I apologize for the many questions I ask, but I am trying to learn as much as possible to scalp better and better ;) I set up tick chart at 34-100-144 and 250 ticks
@@paolo357 no need for apologies, I do my best to spread Tom's words and his mindset. A wise man once said there are no stupid questions only stupid answers. If I failed to explain it feel free to ask more.
Any questions? Yes, did anyone see the conflict of the Buy (or Sell) on close and the part where he explains when there is a green (or red) bar, the natural instinct is to Buy (or Sell) but we should do the opposite? I guess it is in the context of the recent price actions, or perhaps it has to be a momentum bar? I'll watch again and grab the timestamps in case anyone replies to this.
Do you have a timestamp - and I'll try to give the answer your question deserve.
@@MindsetMojoHacks 20:15 is the start of Buy on Close, 5 Min charts, this is for trending markets, 38:40 is where he explains ranging markets and this is where it can be best to do the opposite, so I got it, going to watch Pt 2 and much much more, thanks to you and Tom.
Take advice from 25 years of experience. It is literally impossible to be long-term profitable by scalping or day trading. Main reason is catch 22. if you put stop too close huge volatility and hectic moves will stop you too many times to count. If you increase stop your profit will have to be bigger which is almost impossible to reach due to the high volatility and too many changes of direction
Exactly. One of the eye opening moments for me was watching the video "PROOF That Forex is RANDOM" To be honest there is a bit of predictability in high frequency trading but for retail trader is entirely buried under cost of spread. This industry is all about squeezing money out of wannabe traders.
40 min in - third bullet. Should it not read "I will actually buy" ?
Hi, you are right - it's a typo. It should read "I will actually buy"?

lol they do look alike
How does this guy give presentations? Look at his track record 2020
Hi, I'm not 100% sure what you mean - did you mean to say where does he give presentations? Between you and I, Toms track record for the last 15-20 years have been something else.
you learned trading from Al Brooks?
Tom definitely learned from Al Brooks. But much more for his own work.
Hi Tom, please send me the notes. I like your way of trading and the mind set that you have. Scenario trading..
