Technical vs fundamental analysis: What’s the difference?
Hey, Dan Passarelli here! In this video, I’m breaking down the difference between technical and fundamental analysis—two key concepts in trading. Fundamental analysis focuses on the value of a company, analyzing factors like earnings, inflation, and financial health. Technical analysis, on the other hand, looks at market data, using price charts and indicators like RSI and MACD to make sense of market movements. Understanding these differences can help you trade smarter! #TradingTips #FundamentalAnalysis #TechnicalAnalysis #InvestSmart

This is what market makers do
Hey everyone, it’s Dan Passarelli! I had an interesting discussion in the MTM community about how market makers hedge their positions. In a nutshell, it’s about managing Delta risk—like buying calls and then selling stock short to balance it out. When big players like Goldman or Morgan Stanley are involved, this hedging can significantly impact the stock market. Understanding this process can really improve your trading game.

Funded brokerage accounts
Hey everyone, it’s Dan Passarelli! Today, we’re talking about what a funded account is. Simply put, it’s an account you put money into, crucial for accessing all features in a brokerage. Without funding, you miss out on real-time data, seeing positions, and executing trades. While practice accounts are helpful, they have limitations. This explanation is for both new and experienced traders.
