00:00This nobody just made over $17 million overnight trading stocks.
00:05This wasn't just luck.
00:06He risked his entire life on a trade so extreme,
00:10even pro traders were scared to try.
00:12But what made this trade so insane?
00:14And how did he actually pull it off?
00:16It all started in 2016 when Dex quit his job to become a day trader.
00:20With the $27k he saved, he had one goal.
00:23Turn it into a million dollars and escape the 9-to-5 forever.
00:27After researching, he decided to go all in on Apple shares.
00:31His hands shook as he clicked by.
00:33There was no turning back.
00:35His money was in and the game had started.
00:38The next morning, Dex woke up fast and grabbed his phone to check the stock price.
00:43His heart raced.
00:44Apple was up 2.69% and his account showed a profit of $726.30.
00:50He couldn't believe that he made money overnight without lifting a finger.
00:53It felt unreal, like magic.
00:55Every morning, he checked his phone, watching the stock slowly rise.
01:00Slowly but surely, his account grew to $37k, and he felt it was the right time to sell.
01:06Just like that, he made $10k from his very first trade.
01:10It felt incredible.
01:12He cracked the code, or so he thought.
01:15At that moment, Dex felt unstoppable, ready for whatever came next.
01:19But soon after, things began to go wrong.
01:22It started when he was trading with Amazon and Google.
01:25Dex watched in shock as his account dropped from $37k to $25k.
01:30$2k less than what he started with.
01:33For the first time, he experienced the pain of losing.
01:36Still, Dex refused to give up.
01:39So he locked himself in his room and watched charts until his eyes burned.
01:43He was skipping social events and even school to spend nearly 10 hours a day studying trading.
01:49And what he did next would push him to the edge of complete insanity.
01:53But first, why was Dex so determined to become successful?
01:57To understand his story, let's go back to 1994 in Chongqing, China,
02:02where he was born into a hard-working, middle-class family.
02:05Dex knew he wanted to help his parents retire one day,
02:07so he needed to study hard and find a high-paying job.
02:11But Dex didn't make it easy for himself.
02:13Because of gaming, binge-watching movies, and scrolling through social media,
02:17he let his grades slip.
02:18So at 16 years old, his parents spent all their savings to send him to the U.S.
02:22to continue his studies, hoping for a better future.
02:25When Dex arrived in the U.S., he was determined to graduate.
02:28But there was a problem.
02:30Midway through his first year, Dex got kicked out of school because his English was just too bad.
02:35But now, instead of giving up, he worked on his English and went to college.
02:39During that time, he worked night shifts at the dorm reception to help pay the bills.
02:43But he wanted more than just a part-time job.
02:45He was looking for a way to build real wealth.
02:48When he looked up how to make a lot of money, he saw people making huge amounts online.
02:53This made him realize that becoming a millionaire was possible,
02:56and he decided he wanted to become one too.
02:58So Dex chose to dive into stock trading, where he could learn by doing and start small,
03:03building his skills one step at a time just like in a video game.
03:07After six months, he finally saw some success.
03:10But then, he realized that the gains of big company stocks were steady but slow.
03:15Dex wanted faster and bigger returns.
03:18So he made a decision that would change his life forever,
03:21leading him to make $17 million overnight.
03:24He would start trading micro-cap stocks,
03:27cheap stocks that could skyrocket or crash just as fast.
03:30It was a world of extreme highs and lows, and Dex was ready to dive in.
03:35His strategy for these stocks was to bet their price would go down, which is called short-selling.
03:40So he dedicated himself to learning everything about these stocks.
03:44He tracked their movements, studied when the market was the busiest,
03:47and paid special attention to the first hour after the market opened,
03:51when prices were often at their wildest.
03:53He began to see patterns, small clues in the way these stocks moved,
03:57and he used these insights to develop his own trading edge,
04:00which led him to his first big win,
04:02when he invested $12,000 in a small-cap stock and made $40,000 in one day.
04:08But just as quickly, he lost it all in another trade,
04:11a move he later compared to gambling.
04:14In his first year, he made $450,000 in just one-day trading candy technologies.
04:20But he didn't always win.
04:21He also lost $80,000 on a biotech stock.
04:24By the end of the year, his account had grown to an unbelievable $900,000.
04:29And the crazy part was that he didn't tell anyone, not even his parents.
04:33After hundreds of trades and long nights of studying,
04:36it wasn't long before he was about to make one trade that would change his life forever.
04:41But what was this trade, and how did Donald Trump play a role in it?
04:45Dex's real success started when he used his skills from video games in trading.
04:49On a personal note, he also experienced a breakup,
04:53which fueled his motivation to achieve financial success.
04:56By now, Dex already made a steady income from trading,
04:59and he finally felt ready to tell his friends about it.
05:02On Saturday, when the markets were closed,
05:05Dex usually played tennis with his college friends.
05:07One weekend, he showed up in a brand new Mercedes-Benz S580.
05:11His friends were shocked and immediately asked how he could afford such an expensive car.
05:16This was the first time Dex explained to anyone how he made his money.
05:19He might think his friends would be thrilled or curious,
05:22but instead, their reaction was the opposite.
05:25They knew about day trading, and a few of them had even tried it and lost money.
05:29They told Dex that day trading was no different from gambling,
05:32and that he was just lucky.
05:34Dex was a little surprised to hear this from his friends,
05:36but he didn't take it too seriously.
05:38They kept playing tennis, but over time, his friends started to get more curious.
05:43Every week, Dex would show his classmates his steady profits,
05:46arguing that if this was just luck, he'd have to be incredibly lucky every single month.
05:52But his friends were skeptical, maybe even a bit jealous,
05:55and insisted it was still just gambling.
05:57While he admitted that trading could feel thrilling,
06:00especially when people chase the next big trend out of fear of missing out,
06:03he said that his own approach was careful and strategic.
06:06Instead of betting on random stocks,
06:08he used structured methods similar to those hedge funds use.
06:10After some time, his friends started to notice his success was real,
06:14because Dex kept showing up with more luxuries,
06:17fancy dinners, and new cars like a Rolls-Royce and a Koenigsegg Regera.
06:21Every week, they would chat about trading a bit more,
06:24and their opinions started to shift.
06:26His friends were intrigued and eager to learn more.
06:29But with limited time to teach everyone,
06:31Dex decided to create his own course,
06:34sharing his methods, including the strategy that led to a $17 million trade.
06:39But before we dive into the trade he risked his entire life on,
06:43let's first see how Dex's parents reacted to his success.
06:46For years, Dex had kept his trading a secret because his parents were from China.
06:50They didn't like the stock market,
06:51and there's even a Chinese saying that it's better to do drugs than to invest in the stock market.
06:56When he showed them how much he had earned from trading,
06:58his parents were stunned and proud and even moved to tears.
07:02They hadn't expected this level of success at all,
07:04but Dex wasn't stopping there.
07:06By the time he was 24, he turned his account to $4 million.
07:11There was one trade, one incredible trade that would make him a trading legend.
07:17And the twist is that Donald Trump played a surprising role in it.
07:21But how?
07:23It started on a Wednesday.
07:25For days, Dex had been watching DWAC,
07:28the Trump-backed stock that was all over the news.
07:30The stock kept rising higher and higher, and excitement was growing.
07:35People were rushing to buy, hoping to get rich fast.
07:37But Dex knew he had to do the opposite.
07:40He just needed to wait for the perfect moment,
07:42and when the timing felt right, he shorted the stock with $2 million.
07:46With a single click, his trade was live.
07:50Now all he could do was wait.
07:51Most pro traders would say he was crazy for betting so much on a meme stock.
07:56But Dex understood market psychology.
07:59In his mind, he knew, what goes up must come down.
08:03Soon enough, he was right.
08:05The stock began to plunge, and Dex's short position exploded in value.
08:09He had turned his $2 million into almost $8 million,
08:13making $6 million in a single day.
08:15When he posted his gains online, the trading world was stoned.
08:19For the first time, Dex was recognized as a rising star,
08:23but he wasn't done yet.
08:24$6 million.
08:26Just one click, and it was his.
08:29Anyone would have cashed out and celebrated,
08:31but Dex did something unthinkable.
08:34He let it ride.
08:35The next day proved himself right.
08:37The stock dropped further, pushing his position to $11.5 million.
08:42So he made another $3.5 million in just one day.
08:46But Dex still wasn't satisfied.
08:48He held his position for yet another day,
08:50convinced there was still more room to drop.
08:52And on that third day, the stock fell again.
08:56By the time he finally closed his trade,
08:58his original $2 million had grown to $14.5 million,
09:03a profit of $12.5 million from one stock alone.
09:07Including other trades, Dex made $17 million that week.
09:12In just a few wild days, a trading legend was born.
09:16And it doesn't stop here.
09:17Because this brings us finally to the exact strategy Dex used to make this legendary trade.
09:23One he created on his own through hours of studying the market,
09:26looking for a secret no one else had noticed.
09:29Then, he saw it.
09:31A hidden pattern.
09:32When a stock went up for days, its first red day almost always led to a sharp drop.
09:38Dex found that this red day often sees the stock fall 26% on average,
09:43with an additional dip of about 15% the next day.
09:46He found that the optimal timing for these trades is around 10.30 a.m.,
09:50giving him the best shot at catching the drop early.
09:53This first red day strategy has become a key weapon in Dex's trading toolkit,
09:58one that sets him apart from others.
09:59It's this precise timing and observation that led to his legendary $17 million week,
10:05making him the god of short-term trading.
