20 steps to turn $2000 into $1,000,000+ in 2026 (if you work full-time)
1. Open 2 brokerage accounts 1 for swing trading and 1 for scalping.
2. Put $1000 into it each of them.
3. Use $1000 for scalping so take only 0-3 trades a day max (always, do not break this rule)
3. Use $1000 for swing trading 1-2 contracts at a time. Pick strong companies $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $Apple(AAPL)$ $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ $Alphabet(GOOG)$ $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ $Microsoft(MSFT)$ $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$
4. Choose 1-2 set-ups for scalping only and you can use this list right here.
5. Each scalp you take the contract should be $2-$4 with at least 1 week expiry (do not break this rule)
6. Stop loss should be $0.30-$0.50 from your entry. This mean you can take 20 trades with $1000 before you blow up your account.
7. You'll find that out of 20 trades you take you would have made $100-$200 if you held longer to your target.
8. So now you have to go back and figure out why you are selling early. And work your confidence.
9. These 20 trades will teach you your bad behaviors like chasing and taking trades you didn't plan. So now you have to fix your behavior.
10. Review your trades each day
11. Learn technical analysis (I can teach you step by step) and how to master your emotions
12. The hardest thing to learn about trading is waiting and being patient. Once you can sit and be bored waiting for your set-up, you've mastered trading.
13. Choose $Interactive Brokers(IBKR)$ , TOS or even WEBULL for your brokers.
14. Memorize the candelstick patterns.
15. BEFORE you enter a trade, always wait for the CANDLE to close strong with volume then wait for the next candle to be strong to enter.
16. Time frame for scalping is 1min and 5min, but you always have to study DAILY chart and 1HR time frame to learn the sentiment.
17. Start working on system so make up rules for yourself to follow. DO NOT BREAK IT.
18. If you break your rules then the results will show up so CREATE environment so you cant break those rules.
19. If you need a CHEATSHEET, DM me Ill send you one to follow.
20. Remember, some days you'll make $0, some days you make $20 and somedays you make $100. The secret here is to always follow your rules and not worry about the money. Once you focus on the money, you'll get pressure and not perform well.
1 trade at a time is all it takes.
