Introduction

Welcome to Trade Pass!

This service will expose you to some of the best quality entry signals for day trades, swing trades and investments. The benefits of this service are plenty, and range from great signal entries to 1 on 1 help. There is a wealth of educational content to bring everyone up to speed as well. Everything has been tailored to suit both new traders and investors as well as experienced ones. This course is designed to help you understand how to be profitable and build a portfolio that is self-sustainable. Although we already have a separate course that teaches you how to day trade, Trade Pass members have exclusive access to this course that teaches you how to specifically grow your account with real-life examples of stocks. Not only is this course giving you full schedule breakdowns on how to invest your gains, but also a full walkthrough on each security suggested, with the rewards and risks it pertains.

The greatest misunderstanding that exists in the market is that your biggest challenge is learning to execute trades correctly. In fact, that will be the easiest thing you will learn here. The biggest challenge you will face is learning to master yourself. The psychological battles and even scars that you will face from trading are vast and complex. You see, trading is a very paradoxical as of itself. Every good and profitable trade that you make can often fuel bad trading patterns that will work against you later on, or will provide erroneous positive feedback for trading strategies that simply are not conducive to attaining sustainability in the long term. Think of a time when you learned to average down on a trade or investment. The more the trade or investment went down, the more you bought in hopes that the trade would reverse. Instead, the trade/investment kept going down, and what was once a relatively small loss now became a substantial one. A single bad trade using this type of approach can easily erase weeks or even months of progress. Think of a time when you found success trading a specific type of strategy or set-up. It worked a couple of times, so you became confident and began taking larger exposures of risk via higher levels of capital invested. Then, all of a sudden, the trades began going against you over and over. The difference is that because you got overconfident and began buying larger amounts of shares/contracts, the losses you sustained became larger than those of your profitable trades, thus skewing the overall profitability of the strategy you took.

On the other hand, lacking trading success will eventually create a lot of confusion and anxiety in traders, which surface as problems in many distinct ways. One common example of this is shown when traders are unable to hold profitable positions. As funny as that sounds, traders tend to panic when they become profitable, electing to quickly close profits, even if small, with the intention of preventing a loss. Simultaneously, they will easily hold unprofitable positions for longer periods of times with the hopes that the trade will reverse, risking the potential for larger losses than if they had just stuck to a trading plan. Trading anxiety is one of the most common and destructive phenomenon that traders deal with. It creates bad trading patterns and a generalized risk exposure orientation that will almost always work against you. If you are capping your profitable trades almost immediately but letting your unprofitable trades grow, your average loss will be substantially larger than your average win. Even if you can net more profitable trades than bad ones, it might not be enough to offset the magnitude of total losses.

Traders and investors need to bring to mind that they will be exposed to conditions that will create biases and inflict certain impulses that can and will work against you if you don’t face them. You, as a human, are prone and susceptible to a lot of these psychological pitfalls because trading inherently triggers emotional responses such as fear, greed, hope, frustration, and even euphoria—that can cloud judgment and distort decision-making. These emotions don't just appear in moments of large gains or losses; they creep in during uncertainty, stagnation, or prolonged drawdowns, pushing you to act impulsively or irrationally. They will build up over time, which is why it is key to be self-aware of your trading patterns, review yourself and your own trades periodically and seek second opinions if necessary. For instance, fear of missing out (FOMO) might lure you into trades you didn't plan for, while confirmation bias can make you cling to losing positions because you only see information that supports your hope for a reversal. Over time, if left unchecked, these patterns create mental traps—where your confidence is dictated by your most recent trades instead of by a sound, objective evaluation of your overall process and strategy. Therefore, the real mastery in trading comes not from perfecting technical entries and exits, but from building the psychological discipline to act with consistency, objectivity, and emotional control—even when your instincts scream otherwise. Developing this emotional resilience is not a one-time event, but a continuous practice that involves self-awareness, journaling, post-trade analysis, and often, the humility to step away when needed. Without this internal control, even the best strategies can fail, while with it, even modest systems can produce consistent results over the long term.

This entire course was developed to help shape your trading psychology as much as it was designed to help you clean up your trades and develop strong consistent habits that will yield the results you desire. It is important that you remember that success in trading and investing relies on your own ability to self-control. Most people think that the most difficult part of trading is finding good trades. It isn’t. What you are actually managing is risk. How much are you willing to lose to make a win? How often can you trade to beat the market, and what are you willing to pay for that. Everything you do when you day trade comes at a cost. There is the monetary cost, what you pay for the transaction and for the asset you buy and sell, and then there is the opportunity cost, which is what you give up when you elect to do one thing over other. Being conscious of this fact will certainly carry you leaps ahead. This course was built with the full intention of making you a well rounded trader and Trade Pass member, and to elevate your trading IQ. Hope you enjoy it!

Let’s begin by giving you a quick walkthrough tutorial navigating Discord’s Trade Pass exclusive channels. I don’t want anyone getting lost so let’s make sure you are able to navigate Trade Pass successfully.

On the left panel of our Discord server, you will find the category group called Trade Room. It should look like the following image:

Let’s break down each channel.

Sim-Alerts

This is the channel where Simulate and Trade(Sim) posts entry signal alerts to day trades. There is no other channel where Sim post entry signals for alerts. Sim also use this channel to write important notices for all of Trade Pass. If there is a big announcement, update, change or relevant news that Sim needs to share with our members, they will be tagged in the message on that channel as well. Nobody but Simulate and Trade can write in that channel, as that permission has been turned off for everyone. However, you can still react to the messages with emojis. One thing that is required of every member that trades these signals is that they must use the following emojis when they take a trade.

This is an example of a trade put out on Sim-Alerts channel that called out a specific entry.

As you can see, members clicked the checkmark emoji to specify they entered the trade. Some clicked the money bag emoji to signal the trade was profitable and 1 clicked the no-entry emoji to signal that he took a loss.

This is what Cthulhu channel looks like.

You use the white_check_mark emoji on the entry signals that you decide to follow and trade.

Again, welcome to Trade Pass. I hope that this membership brings you all the money, growth and success you desire. Thank you for taking a chance on this. Remember, I can provide you all the great entry signals, but in order to get this to work, you also must commit yourself to this. Trading is serious business, and if you treat it as such, you will get serious results. Don’t make poor decisions, don’t go chasing trades trying to compete with others and don’t leave the parameters of safety we will discuss later. With that said, come over to tradechat and say hello!
