2 |1 |00:00:53 ~-~-> 00:01:00 |ICT: What is good morning? It is a good morning. How about it? Can you guys hear
3 |2 |00:01:00 ~-~-> 00:01:08 |me. Check and see on this app you guys can hear me. If the volume's good, let
4 |3 |00:01:08 ~-~-> 00:01:14 |me know what you can hear me or not.
5 |4 |00:01:20 ~-~-> 00:01:22 |Give folks another minute or two to get in here.
6 |5 |00:01:32 ~-~-> 00:01:37 |Awesome, awesome, awesome. Okay, so this is a reminder.
7 |6 |00:01:40 ~-~-> 00:01:47 |I'm out here going on without a script, okay, and given enough time,
8 |7 |00:01:50 ~-~-> 00:01:55 |I might say things that are not friendly for the young ones ears. So if you're
9 |8 |00:01:55 ~-~-> 00:01:59 |listening, you have your computer speakers on, or you're listening through
10 |9 |00:01:59 ~-~-> 00:02:04 |your television or something to that effect, where other people that you
11 |10 |00:02:04 ~-~-> 00:02:09 |might not want have hear me say something that would be disruptive to
12 |11 |00:02:09 ~-~-> 00:02:15 |their age. This is your cue to put it on headphones. Okay, I'm assuming that
13 |12 |00:02:15 ~-~-> 00:02:19 |we're all adults here. I'll probably be talking about things that are going to
14 |13 |00:02:19 ~-~-> 00:02:23 |be boring to a child anyway. So children, anyone I'm under the age of
15 |14 |00:02:23 ~-~-> 00:02:28 |18, shouldn't be listening to these sort of spaces, in my opinion. Okay, for the
16 |15 |00:02:28 ~-~-> 00:02:33 |folks that are putting it up on YouTube, again, you have my permission to do
17 |16 |00:02:33 ~-~-> 00:02:41 |this. I don't want this on my own YouTube channel. Just you come up with
18 |17 |00:02:41 ~-~-> 00:02:46 |some kind of a way of splicing up the sections that way the people that want
19 |18 |00:02:46 ~-~-> 00:02:50 |to listen to, because I'm going to talk about controlling anxiety and attacking
20 |19 |00:02:50 ~-~-> 00:02:54 |all those things that way you can trade without stress. But I'm also going to
21 |20 |00:02:54 ~-~-> 00:03:02 |talk about, in the beginning, all the anxiety and stress and straining without
22 |21 |00:03:02 ~-~-> 00:03:07 |stress, all those techniques and stuff that's going to be towards the end of
23 |22 |00:03:07 ~-~-> 00:03:10 |this Twitter space. So at the minimum, you should at least divide it that way.
24 |23 |00:03:10 ~-~-> 00:03:13 |So that way, when your listeners are listening to it in your YouTube channel,
25 |24 |00:03:13 ~-~-> 00:03:17 |and again, you're welcome to monetize that. I just don't want you monetizing
26 |25 |00:03:17 ~-~-> 00:03:21 |my lectures for trading the full things. Don't do that. But here you're welcome
27 |26 |00:03:21 ~-~-> 00:03:25 |to do that. I don't mind doing it, and I'm teaching this today because I have a
28 |27 |00:03:25 ~-~-> 00:03:32 |lot of questions that have been brought to me about, how do you as a student,
29 |28 |00:03:32 ~-~-> 00:03:38 |how do you overcome these barriers that you have you may not even realize what
30 |29 |00:03:38 ~-~-> 00:03:43 |they are? How do you discover them? How do you work forward to get through all
31 |30 |00:03:43 ~-~-> 00:03:46 |those things? And then what happens if you can't do it because you are
32 |31 |00:03:46 ~-~-> 00:03:50 |wrestling with some kind of a mental illness? Maybe you're at your wit's end,
33 |32 |00:03:50 ~-~-> 00:03:55 |maybe external stresses, not market itself, but they're all compounding, and
34 |33 |00:03:55 ~-~-> 00:04:00 |you feel like your world's constricting and you just can't focus. You can't
35 |34 |00:04:00 ~-~-> 00:04:05 |focus. You can't do anything right? You feel like impending doom that. That's
36 |35 |00:04:05 ~-~-> 00:04:10 |the latter portion of this Twitter space today, or should we call x space? I just
37 |36 |00:04:10 ~-~-> 00:04:19 |refuse to call that. Sorry. Elon, so Oh, girl, doing well. I have I thought about
38 |37 |00:04:19 ~-~-> 00:04:23 |how I wanted to deliver this kind of conversation. And there's some of you
39 |38 |00:04:23 ~-~-> 00:04:28 |like to walk around or exercise or do whatever, and when we do the exercises
40 |39 |00:04:28 ~-~-> 00:04:31 |or talk about the exercise in the latter portion, please don't be using any kind
41 |40 |00:04:31 ~-~-> 00:04:36 |of vehicle. Don't be trying to do it while you're driving, because you'll see
42 |41 |00:04:37 ~-~-> 00:04:40 |they have a physiological response to it immediately, which will be very
43 |42 |00:04:40 ~-~-> 00:04:48 |surprising to some of you, but there's a lot of new students this year, and the
44 |43 |00:04:48 ~-~-> 00:04:54 |2024 mentorship for Caleb is kind of like hitting on all cylinders right out
45 |44 |00:04:54 ~-~-> 00:04:58 |the gate, because I'm taking right in front of all of the live price action.
46 |45 |00:04:58 ~-~-> 00:05:05 |So. Explaining things, making you aware of what my focus would be at the time,
47 |46 |00:05:05 ~-~-> 00:05:11 |at that moment, watching price action. Now as a trader, in the beginning, you
48 |47 |00:05:11 ~-~-> 00:05:16 |don't know what you don't know, and when you discover things that you didn't
49 |48 |00:05:16 ~-~-> 00:05:21 |realize were so important, it's sometimes very easy to discount it,
50 |49 |00:05:23 ~-~-> 00:05:29 |meaning that you might think to yourself, well, you know, I feel a
51 |50 |00:05:29 ~-~-> 00:05:35 |little anxious because I have too much on the trade, or I just took a loss and
52 |51 |00:05:35 ~-~-> 00:05:39 |I'm already back in the market, and you feel that discomfort, like Something's
53 |52 |00:05:39 ~-~-> 00:05:43 |just not right. A new trader that's rushed to go into trading with real
54 |53 |00:05:43 ~-~-> 00:05:48 |money will look at that and say, Well, I don't want to be a wimp, okay, I don't
55 |54 |00:05:48 ~-~-> 00:05:54 |want to be a softy and feel like I'm getting scared or shook out of the
56 |55 |00:05:54 ~-~-> 00:05:58 |marketplace. Because if we were all in the locker room of the arena that is
57 |56 |00:05:58 ~-~-> 00:06:02 |trading, and I'm in the boys room and we're all changing, and they look at me,
58 |57 |00:06:02 ~-~-> 00:06:06 |they ask me, Hey, how'd you do today? Were you nervous? You look nervous. You
59 |58 |00:06:06 ~-~-> 00:06:14 |don't want to show any kind of signs of weakness. No way. I can't do that. So as
60 |59 |00:06:14 ~-~-> 00:06:18 |a new trader that rushes to put money in before they learn how to trade before
61 |60 |00:06:18 ~-~-> 00:06:20 |they discovered everything that's holding them back, and they don't
62 |61 |00:06:20 ~-~-> 00:06:27 |realize it, yet, they'll have these little triggers, these little moments
63 |62 |00:06:27 ~-~-> 00:06:33 |where they're subconscious starts talking to them about, hey, look, are
64 |63 |00:06:33 ~-~-> 00:06:36 |you sure you want to be where you're at right now? Do you? Do you? Are you sure
65 |64 |00:06:36 ~-~-> 00:06:41 |you want to be doing what you're doing? And in the beginning, you're so,
66 |65 |00:06:41 ~-~-> 00:06:46 |especially for the men, you're so keyed up on trying to be impressive to other
67 |66 |00:06:46 ~-~-> 00:06:51 |people instead of simply relaxing and trying to do this for yourself. There's
68 |67 |00:06:51 ~-~-> 00:06:58 |nothing selfish about that. There's zero selfishness. You absolutely need to be
69 |68 |00:06:58 ~-~-> 00:07:03 |self centered and self focused in the beginning as a developing student, that
70 |69 |00:07:03 ~-~-> 00:07:07 |is not something that is unChristian. It's not something that's egotistical or
71 |70 |00:07:07 ~-~-> 00:07:12 |narcissistic. You need to put yourself inside of a fortress of solitude, and
72 |71 |00:07:13 ~-~-> 00:07:18 |that Fortress of Solitude is both a physical location where, when you're
73 |72 |00:07:18 ~-~-> 00:07:22 |trading, you're not inviting other people's opinion. When you're studying,
74 |73 |00:07:22 ~-~-> 00:07:27 |you're not inviting other people's opinion, whoever you're using as a
75 |74 |00:07:27 ~-~-> 00:07:30 |resource, and I'm assuming, because you're listening to me, you're tapping
76 |75 |00:07:30 ~-~-> 00:07:36 |into me as that resource. Don't let other authors, teachers, influencers,
77 |76 |00:07:37 ~-~-> 00:07:42 |come in, because I'm going to be very, very disruptive to that. The number one
78 |77 |00:07:42 ~-~-> 00:07:47 |reason why I do that is the number one draw crowd. It's like starting a fire.
79 |78 |00:07:47 ~-~-> 00:07:50 |People can't turn away from a fire. They can't turn away from a train wreck or a
80 |79 |00:07:50 ~-~-> 00:07:54 |car accident. You really don't take pleasure in seeing bad things happen
81 |80 |00:07:54 ~-~-> 00:07:59 |with people, but you just can't help it. You gotta look. And I have used those
82 |81 |00:07:59 ~-~-> 00:08:03 |things to garner a crowd? Well, you don't want to do that with your own
83 |82 |00:08:03 ~-~-> 00:08:06 |trading. You don't want to do that with your own development, because what
84 |83 |00:08:06 ~-~-> 00:08:09 |you're going to do is you're going to invite other people's opinion. Where
85 |84 |00:08:09 ~-~-> 00:08:15 |would I market myself for free? Never paid for it. I invite the opinions of
86 |85 |00:08:15 ~-~-> 00:08:20 |others, and I make it polarizing because it makes other people talk. And there's
87 |86 |00:08:20 ~-~-> 00:08:25 |no faster viral marketing campaign than you can have is if you can make
88 |87 |00:08:25 ~-~-> 00:08:30 |something divisive. That's why pro wrestling you the scripted stuff. That's
89 |88 |00:08:30 ~-~-> 00:08:34 |why it was so popular, so long it's all scripted and it's manipulation of the
90 |89 |00:08:34 ~-~-> 00:08:41 |audience. But if I can encourage you as a student to try to remove that stuff
91 |90 |00:08:43 ~-~-> 00:08:47 |from your learning and your studying to other people that might sound cultish,
92 |91 |00:08:47 ~-~-> 00:08:53 |and I can see that, and I use that, I embrace that, because that perspective
93 |92 |00:08:54 ~-~-> 00:08:58 |eliminates the ability for outside influences to mess you up, because you
94 |93 |00:08:58 ~-~-> 00:09:03 |have to discover who you Are. I had students come to me, go through all the
95 |94 |00:09:04 ~-~-> 00:09:09 |things that put them through, and they say, You know what? This doesn't suit
96 |95 |00:09:09 ~-~-> 00:09:13 |me. I don't think I should be a trader. And that's maturity. It doesn't mean
97 |96 |00:09:13 ~-~-> 00:09:16 |that the stuff that they were learning doesn't work. This means that they
98 |97 |00:09:16 ~-~-> 00:09:20 |weren't trading at all. They just can't do it, and why put themselves through
99 |98 |00:09:20 ~-~-> 00:09:25 |it. So I want to, kind of like invite that opportunity for all of you, because
100 |99 |00:09:25 ~-~-> 00:09:29 |trading is absolutely not for everyone. There's going to be some things that
101 |100 |00:09:29 ~-~-> 00:09:32 |you're going to encounter while you're trading, while you're learning to trade,
102 |101 |00:09:32 ~-~-> 00:09:37 |when you lose money, you don't know what that feels like until it happens. And
103 |102 |00:09:37 ~-~-> 00:09:40 |all the coping skills I'm going to teach at the end of this Twitter space name
104 |103 |00:09:40 ~-~-> 00:09:44 |may not be enough to get you through it and past it. It might just say, You know
105 |104 |00:09:44 ~-~-> 00:09:49 |what? This, this isn't just doesn't feel right for me. And if it happens to be
106 |105 |00:09:49 ~-~-> 00:09:54 |you that feels that way, you know what? Put it aside for a little while, maybe
107 |106 |00:09:54 ~-~-> 00:09:58 |six months. And if you feel the urge to come back to it, maybe not with me, but
108 |107 |00:09:58 ~-~-> 00:10:02 |someone else teaching. It if they can prove that they have something that
109 |108 |00:10:02 ~-~-> 00:10:06 |works, and they have other people that have learned what it is they taught, and
110 |109 |00:10:06 ~-~-> 00:10:10 |they're proving profitability and consistency, there's nothing wrong with
111 |110 |00:10:10 ~-~-> 00:10:14 |going to someone else that teaches you how to do investing or trading or
112 |111 |00:10:14 ~-~-> 00:10:19 |reading price action or whatever you want to call it, but you can come to me,
113 |112 |00:10:20 ~-~-> 00:10:26 |I encourage rather aggressively that you need to cut all other sources of
114 |113 |00:10:26 ~-~-> 00:10:35 |information off, because in my group, we're known as very, very confident,
115 |114 |00:10:35 ~-~-> 00:10:41 |pompous, egotistical, narcissistic. These are all descriptive terms, because
116 |115 |00:10:41 ~-~-> 00:10:47 |when my students learn what it is that I teach my that part of my persona rubs
117 |116 |00:10:47 ~-~-> 00:10:51 |off on them, because they can do things that they see other people incapable of
118 |117 |00:10:51 ~-~-> 00:10:57 |doing when everybody else is out there trying to talk other other individuals
119 |118 |00:10:57 ~-~-> 00:11:01 |down, our community talks each other up. That's important. That's a
120 |119 |00:11:01 ~-~-> 00:11:05 |characteristic that nobody likes to spend too much to focus on, because it
121 |120 |00:11:05 ~-~-> 00:11:08 |counters most of everything. That's going to be negative that you're going
122 |121 |00:11:08 ~-~-> 00:11:14 |to encounter as a student of mine, you're going to feel like, wow, this is
123 |122 |00:11:14 ~-~-> 00:11:17 |a cult. I don't want anybody thinking bad about me. You're not going to meet
124 |123 |00:11:17 ~-~-> 00:11:20 |these people. You're not going to have dinner with them. You're not going to
125 |124 |00:11:20 ~-~-> 00:11:23 |invite them over to Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas you're not going to
126 |125 |00:11:23 ~-~-> 00:11:26 |celebrate the New Year drinking champagne with them at the time of the
127 |126 |00:11:26 ~-~-> 00:11:32 |new year, but you're elevating their their sense of worth and impact and
128 |127 |00:11:32 ~-~-> 00:11:37 |influence over you through fear. And what do you fear for how other people
129 |128 |00:11:37 ~-~-> 00:11:41 |are going to look at you, how other people are going to be able to judge you
130 |129 |00:11:41 ~-~-> 00:11:45 |on the basis of who you learned from what you believe and don't believe about
131 |130 |00:11:45 ~-~-> 00:11:46 |a market algorithm.
132 |131 |00:11:49 ~-~-> 00:11:54 |They're all talking points, and every side in every angle believes that they
133 |132 |00:11:54 ~-~-> 00:12:03 |are the right side. So how can you imagine the impact of frustrating,
134 |133 |00:12:03 ~-~-> 00:12:06 |conflicting input from other people's opinion in the beginning, when you first
135 |134 |00:12:06 ~-~-> 00:12:13 |start, start learning. It causes paralysis. It causes you to feel like,
136 |135 |00:12:15 ~-~-> 00:12:20 |am I wasting my time? Am I wasting my time? My question is, is, did the people
137 |136 |00:12:20 ~-~-> 00:12:25 |you see on YouTube proving that they're being profitable, that the companies
138 |137 |00:12:25 ~-~-> 00:12:28 |that pay them out, that are interviewing them, you think that they just gave that
139 |138 |00:12:28 ~-~-> 00:12:35 |money to them for free? I don't have any affiliates with anybody, none, so it
140 |139 |00:12:35 ~-~-> 00:12:41 |serves me and them no direct gain by making it public knowledge that the
141 |140 |00:12:41 ~-~-> 00:12:47 |people that they paid out in their profitable trades are my students, so we
142 |141 |00:12:47 ~-~-> 00:12:51 |have receipts, and there's new individuals coming forward all the time
143 |142 |00:12:51 ~-~-> 00:12:56 |using the same information that you have at your fingertips for free. I have
144 |143 |00:12:56 ~-~-> 00:13:00 |created an environment you always see these these guys advertising. They'll
145 |144 |00:13:00 ~-~-> 00:13:05 |say this is a no risk opportunity, but act now, because if you don't do it,
146 |145 |00:13:05 ~-~-> 00:13:08 |there's no there's no telling how long I'm going to keep this for free, or have
147 |146 |00:13:08 ~-~-> 00:13:11 |this disgust, this discount, or something that out of effect. That's
148 |147 |00:13:11 ~-~-> 00:13:17 |pressure. Sales. You should feel relaxed. I'm not getting paid here. This
149 |148 |00:13:17 ~-~-> 00:13:24 |is why I'm doing this here, too, because I'm not monetized on X or Twitter. I
150 |149 |00:13:24 ~-~-> 00:13:27 |don't have any monetization on there at all, zero. To be honest. I don't even
151 |150 |00:13:27 ~-~-> 00:13:32 |know how to do if I wanted to do it and I don't want to do it, I could put this
152 |151 |00:13:33 ~-~-> 00:13:38 |in a G rated narrative on my YouTube channel and collect ad revenue off of
153 |152 |00:13:38 ~-~-> 00:13:44 |that, but I don't want, I want to talk to you like a friend. I want to talk to
154 |153 |00:13:44 ~-~-> 00:13:50 |you through the perspective of father figure, because I'm talking to Caleb,
155 |154 |00:13:50 ~-~-> 00:13:55 |because I want him to understand that these are going to be huge wrestling
156 |155 |00:13:55 ~-~-> 00:13:59 |matches for him, just like they're going to be for you and for some of you,
157 |156 |00:13:59 ~-~-> 00:14:01 |you're going to discover that, wow. You know, I went through that and I thought
158 |157 |00:14:01 ~-~-> 00:14:04 |I was losing my mind. I thought mind. I thought I was just being, you know,
159 |158 |00:14:04 ~-~-> 00:14:10 |incapable of learning. Now it's, this is very hard to do, folks, because you're
160 |159 |00:14:10 ~-~-> 00:14:18 |wrestling yourself. You're competing with an image of yourself that you're
161 |160 |00:14:18 ~-~-> 00:14:23 |holding on to, and unfortunately, in the beginning, it's a self defeating image.
162 |161 |00:14:25 ~-~-> 00:14:35 |You're holding on to a weak, closed minded, narrow minded, scared little
163 |162 |00:14:35 ~-~-> 00:14:40 |child. And I don't mean that to be condescending. You're trying to protect
164 |163 |00:14:40 ~-~-> 00:14:45 |the inner child of yourself, from losing money, from being embarrassed, oh, they
165 |164 |00:14:45 ~-~-> 00:14:50 |these people said that they learned from ICT. You know they're cultists. They're
166 |165 |00:14:50 ~-~-> 00:14:56 |brainwashed. You know they're whatever the list is going on and on, okay, if
167 |166 |00:14:56 ~-~-> 00:15:00 |you're considering all those things as outside influences, all. You have to do
168 |167 |00:15:00 ~-~-> 00:15:05 |is test the stuff I'm teaching for free. All you have to do is sign up to a live
169 |168 |00:15:05 ~-~-> 00:15:09 |stream when I'm doing it and listen, listen to me explain what price is
170 |169 |00:15:09 ~-~-> 00:15:14 |doing. And then you think to yourself, wow, there's something here, like I can
171 |170 |00:15:14 ~-~-> 00:15:17 |see this guy knows what he's talking about, and the market's behaving as he's
172 |171 |00:15:17 ~-~-> 00:15:22 |describing it. Those are the things you're supposed to be focusing on. The
173 |172 |00:15:22 ~-~-> 00:15:29 |evidence, the proof. Don't let my public antics for my own pleasure, because I
174 |173 |00:15:29 ~-~-> 00:15:32 |love twisting the knife in other people that don't want to believe, or they,
175 |174 |00:15:32 ~-~-> 00:15:36 |deep down, say they believe, but they can't compete with us. They can't even
176 |175 |00:15:36 ~-~-> 00:15:42 |compete. It's not even close. But I'm not here to ridicule them. I want them
177 |176 |00:15:42 ~-~-> 00:15:45 |to listen to the same lectures that I'm giving to all of you. And if they can
178 |177 |00:15:45 ~-~-> 00:15:50 |take something away from that that helps them, then that's great. That's what I'm
179 |178 |00:15:50 ~-~-> 00:15:54 |looking for. I'm not trying to kick anybody in the face, not try to put my
180 |179 |00:15:54 ~-~-> 00:15:58 |boot on their neck, strangle their ability to be profitable, or climb up as
181 |180 |00:15:58 ~-~-> 00:16:01 |a as a pillar in the industry. Is that what I'm doing,
182 |181 |00:16:07 ~-~-> 00:16:14 |if you don't guard your fortress of solitude, that means your physical
183 |182 |00:16:14 ~-~-> 00:16:18 |location where you study, that means your family members can't be in the room
184 |183 |00:16:18 ~-~-> 00:16:21 |with you. If you have children, God bless them. They can't be in the room
185 |184 |00:16:21 ~-~-> 00:16:26 |with you, your spouse, whether being supportive or not, and chances are,
186 |185 |00:16:26 ~-~-> 00:16:33 |they're probably not going to be supportive. They don't believe yet in
187 |186 |00:16:33 ~-~-> 00:16:39 |your future self, the things that you have to go through to refine your future
188 |187 |00:16:39 ~-~-> 00:16:43 |self, that future success that you want to have, but you don't really,
189 |188 |00:16:43 ~-~-> 00:16:49 |necessarily believe it, yet, you gotta be convinced of it. And so many times,
190 |189 |00:16:49 ~-~-> 00:16:53 |individuals, in the last, you know, five or 10 years, they have this Tiktok
191 |190 |00:16:53 ~-~-> 00:16:58 |mentality. It has to be shown to you in 10 seconds, 30 seconds or less, or I'm
192 |191 |00:16:58 ~-~-> 00:17:02 |interested. And this is the part where, if you're not willing to put yourself
193 |192 |00:17:02 ~-~-> 00:17:07 |through what it is I'm describing, or if you look at those videos, I have up
194 |193 |00:17:07 ~-~-> 00:17:11 |there 500 and some videos, and you think, man, I got time for 500 videos.
195 |194 |00:17:13 ~-~-> 00:17:17 |How many football games have you watched since you started watching them? How
196 |195 |00:17:20 ~-~-> 00:17:26 |many basketball games have you watched since you started watching them? Has
197 |196 |00:17:27 ~-~-> 00:17:31 |your attendance in the audience seeing those games live? Has that made any
198 |197 |00:17:31 ~-~-> 00:17:37 |impact on you being able to play football or basketball any better? No.
199 |198 |00:17:37 ~-~-> 00:17:40 |So why are you watching it? Why are you paying all that money to support these
200 |199 |00:17:40 ~-~-> 00:17:45 |people who don't know you, they don't care about you, they simply will never
201 |200 |00:17:45 ~-~-> 00:17:49 |spend time with you, and to get them to stop to get an autographed or a snapshot
202 |201 |00:17:49 ~-~-> 00:17:54 |is asking too much many times, but you're willing to put yourself through
203 |202 |00:17:54 ~-~-> 00:18:00 |all that stuff because it gives you what a feel good Moment. Wow. This is
204 |203 |00:18:00 ~-~-> 00:18:05 |awesome, because you idolize these people. You idolize them. You lift them
205 |204 |00:18:05 ~-~-> 00:18:13 |up to Titans. And men want to be a Titan. Don't lie. You're smiling right
206 |205 |00:18:13 ~-~-> 00:18:18 |now because you know damn well that's the truth. You want to be a big shot.
207 |206 |00:18:18 ~-~-> 00:18:22 |You want to be a big wheel, someone everybody looks up to says, Man, I want
208 |207 |00:18:22 ~-~-> 00:18:32 |to be like him. You have to have that same tenacity and driven passion in why
209 |208 |00:18:32 ~-~-> 00:18:36 |you're trying to learn how to trade and put yourself in a fortune societal where
210 |209 |00:18:36 ~-~-> 00:18:45 |you're not inviting other people, don't let them influence it. And from an
211 |210 |00:18:45 ~-~-> 00:18:52 |intellectual stance, your fortress of solitude is your journal. That's where
212 |211 |00:18:52 ~-~-> 00:18:57 |you go to lick your wounds when you don't do something right, but you don't
213 |212 |00:18:57 ~-~-> 00:19:03 |go there and treat like it's a House of Pain, like it's an abusive relationship.
214 |213 |00:19:03 ~-~-> 00:19:07 |And so many of you have shared some of your journal entries to me while talking
215 |214 |00:19:07 ~-~-> 00:19:12 |about a price action move, and while maybe your technical thing might be
216 |215 |00:19:12 ~-~-> 00:19:16 |there and it may be correct and just didn't work out for that moment or that
217 |216 |00:19:16 ~-~-> 00:19:24 |time of that instance, the negative annotations, the negative things that
218 |217 |00:19:24 ~-~-> 00:19:30 |are spoken about, what you're trying to teach yourself. What do you think is
219 |218 |00:19:30 ~-~-> 00:19:33 |more appropriate for that inner child that's inside you right now that you're
220 |219 |00:19:33 ~-~-> 00:19:37 |nurturing that will be your future self? What's more nurturing if you're
221 |220 |00:19:37 ~-~-> 00:19:44 |constantly beating that inner child down with negative, not encouragement, but
222 |221 |00:19:44 ~-~-> 00:19:49 |punishment. You should have did this better. I should have learned this by
223 |222 |00:19:49 ~-~-> 00:19:57 |now. This stuff never works. I don't know why I can't get this. This is so
224 |223 |00:19:57 ~-~-> 00:20:03 |stupid. I need to I need something easier. It if you spoke to your child
225 |224 |00:20:03 ~-~-> 00:20:09 |that way, do you think that child would grow up feeling good about themselves,
226 |225 |00:20:09 ~-~-> 00:20:14 |or would they have complexes and probably deep rooted anger and anxiety?
227 |226 |00:20:15 ~-~-> 00:20:19 |And you wonder why you're feeling those things, because you're feeding it to
228 |227 |00:20:19 ~-~-> 00:20:24 |yourself every day. You don't even realize it. You have no idea how often
229 |228 |00:20:24 ~-~-> 00:20:30 |you give yourself something toxic and negative, and that's why, when you watch
230 |229 |00:20:30 ~-~-> 00:20:37 |something positive, you're like, wow, I really enjoyed that moment. Or if you
231 |230 |00:20:37 ~-~-> 00:20:41 |see someone you haven't seen in a long time, old friend or loved one, that's
232 |231 |00:20:41 ~-~-> 00:20:45 |why holidays, except for Carl, gets invited to the festivities. He wasn't
233 |232 |00:20:45 ~-~-> 00:20:49 |supposed to be there, but some joker invited him. It's bad enough, you got to
234 |233 |00:20:49 ~-~-> 00:20:54 |work with him all the time, but now he's showing up at New Year's Eve. It was fun
235 |234 |00:20:54 ~-~-> 00:21:03 |until he showed up, then you're doing everything he can to avoid him. Well, at
236 |235 |00:21:03 ~-~-> 00:21:08 |the holidays, you feel good. Why? Because your attention is taken off of
237 |236 |00:21:08 ~-~-> 00:21:12 |all the negative things about yourself. And then what do you do? Yeah, well, I
238 |237 |00:21:12 ~-~-> 00:21:17 |got a raise today. Yeah, last week, got a promotion at the at the job, that's
239 |238 |00:21:17 ~-~-> 00:21:21 |right. I don't know how. I don't know how they're going to do it without me.
240 |239 |00:21:21 ~-~-> 00:21:27 |Whenever I decide to leave the company, Oh, they're so screwed. You get to talk
241 |240 |00:21:27 ~-~-> 00:21:32 |about all the good stuff, and you hide all that stuff. That's exactly what
242 |241 |00:21:32 ~-~-> 00:21:37 |proper journaling is. You need to do that. You need to cultivate all the
243 |242 |00:21:37 ~-~-> 00:21:42 |positives. And that's why it feels good to be around your cousin who hasn't left
244 |243 |00:21:42 ~-~-> 00:21:47 |Jiffy Lube, he's been doing that for 12 years, says he's going to college and
245 |244 |00:21:47 ~-~-> 00:21:51 |never, never even done prerequisites, never did anything but get greased.
246 |245 |00:21:58 ~-~-> 00:22:03 |You have to guard yourself and the processes you're going to go through is
247 |246 |00:22:03 ~-~-> 00:22:09 |a refinement, and it's painful because it's not immediate gratification. It's
248 |247 |00:22:09 ~-~-> 00:22:15 |not a right now delivery of what you want, it has to be deferred. And for a
249 |248 |00:22:15 ~-~-> 00:22:20 |lot of folks, and it's really hard for young people today, and I understand,
250 |249 |00:22:20 ~-~-> 00:22:23 |because they have been socially engineered to expect everything given to
251 |250 |00:22:23 ~-~-> 00:22:30 |them. Everything should be given to you for nothing and no. Adversity should be
252 |251 |00:22:30 ~-~-> 00:22:36 |easy, and you have this, this entitlement mindset and a short
253 |252 |00:22:36 ~-~-> 00:22:40 |attention span that's been cultivated by Tiktok or YouTube shorts that are very
254 |253 |00:22:40 ~-~-> 00:22:47 |small in duration, and you think, man, why is this guy? ICT gotta be so long
255 |254 |00:22:47 ~-~-> 00:22:53 |winded? Because I am a old man that learned how to do this the right way.
256 |255 |00:22:54 ~-~-> 00:23:01 |Roll your sleeves up. Put real effort behind it. Keep your nose to the grind
257 |256 |00:23:02 ~-~-> 00:23:08 |and want all the details you want to know, everything you don't just want to
258 |257 |00:23:08 ~-~-> 00:23:12 |know. Well, I want to look like I know what I'm talking about. I want to sound
259 |258 |00:23:12 ~-~-> 00:23:16 |like I know what I'm talking about. And for years, we've watched other people do
260 |259 |00:23:16 ~-~-> 00:23:20 |that with my content mitigation. Here you see this order block was mitigated.
261 |260 |00:23:20 ~-~-> 00:23:24 |Order blocks don't get mitigated, mitigation this and mitigation that.
262 |261 |00:23:27 ~-~-> 00:23:31 |They want to talk the the lingo the point of interest. Look at this point of
263 |262 |00:23:31 ~-~-> 00:23:37 |interest. These are all out of my videos, bro, that's all my stuff. The
264 |263 |00:23:37 ~-~-> 00:23:41 |vocabulary of all these individuals out there that have odds against me. Are
265 |264 |00:23:41 ~-~-> 00:23:45 |going to have odds against you, but they're studying right along with you,
266 |265 |00:23:45 ~-~-> 00:23:48 |like good little scribes. They're just doing it in silence, thinking they're
267 |266 |00:23:48 ~-~-> 00:23:52 |going to get away with it, but as soon as they start talking, the vocabulary
268 |267 |00:23:52 ~-~-> 00:23:58 |exposes them. It's fun, actually. It's a really amazing psychological experiment
269 |268 |00:23:58 ~-~-> 00:24:01 |to go through all the mentors, and you'll see you'll see it annotated in
270 |269 |00:24:01 ~-~-> 00:24:07 |their charts, or you'll hear them say it verbally, audibly. They're in the same
271 |270 |00:24:07 ~-~-> 00:24:11 |classroom as you right now, and they may not be here where you can see them,
272 |271 |00:24:11 ~-~-> 00:24:14 |because you can do a little anonymous slide. They're all listening
273 |272 |00:24:14 ~-~-> 00:24:19 |anonymously. But I know you're here, and I'm glad that you're here, not trying to
274 |273 |00:24:19 ~-~-> 00:24:25 |put fun at you, because you're going to learn things that you can teach my
275 |274 |00:24:25 ~-~-> 00:24:29 |students through you, because they're not your students, they're mine, and I
276 |275 |00:24:29 ~-~-> 00:24:35 |care about them more than you do, and since I know what I'm talking about, I'm
277 |276 |00:24:35 ~-~-> 00:24:39 |going to use you as a conduit to reach them. The worst thing you can do is
278 |277 |00:24:39 ~-~-> 00:24:43 |twist what I'm teaching today, or anything I teach, and take out a context
279 |278 |00:24:43 ~-~-> 00:24:49 |or try to embellish it with your own little bullshit, because you're reducing
280 |279 |00:24:49 ~-~-> 00:25:01 |its purest form, and your money being up with just this DNA in. Trading logic is
281 |280 |00:25:01 ~-~-> 00:25:09 |superior. Anything less than this is substandard. We don't have Neanderthal
282 |281 |00:25:09 ~-~-> 00:25:16 |in this. Okay? It's all it's always important to start off on the right
283 |282 |00:25:16 ~-~-> 00:25:21 |foot. It's always a bad decision to invite other people's opinion about
284 |283 |00:25:21 ~-~-> 00:25:26 |everything you're involving yourself with on the beginning, we want our
285 |284 |00:25:26 ~-~-> 00:25:34 |friends and our family to encourage us. Why? The same reason why I did as a 20
286 |285 |00:25:34 ~-~-> 00:25:38 |year old. I lost my grandfather. I lost that Father, that father figure he
287 |286 |00:25:40 ~-~-> 00:25:43 |wouldn't have lavished and he would say, Oh, son, you're going to do so good. I
288 |287 |00:25:43 ~-~-> 00:25:46 |can't wait to see he wouldn't have done that. He's old man, Old Navy man. He
289 |288 |00:25:46 ~-~-> 00:25:50 |would have been like, just do your best. I said, Okay, I'm going to live up to
290 |289 |00:25:50 ~-~-> 00:25:54 |that. I'm going to live up to that pot. I'm going to do that. I'm going to do
291 |290 |00:25:54 ~-~-> 00:26:00 |everything I can to make this man acknowledge that I have impressed him.
292 |291 |00:26:00 ~-~-> 00:26:06 |So when it was taken from me, when he died of cancer, I had a void, and I've
293 |292 |00:26:06 ~-~-> 00:26:10 |carried it in my entire life. At 52 years old, I still can't fill that void,
294 |293 |00:26:10 ~-~-> 00:26:14 |and God fills it a lot, but there's still this little itch that I can't
295 |294 |00:26:14 ~-~-> 00:26:19 |satisfy because I can't see his face. Look at me and you had that same
296 |295 |00:26:19 ~-~-> 00:26:28 |experience when you first start to do something that's monumental, feet, you
297 |296 |00:26:28 ~-~-> 00:26:31 |want to accomplish something, you want to lose weight, you want to get in
298 |297 |00:26:31 ~-~-> 00:26:36 |better shape. And what do we do? We turn to our spouse, our significant other,
299 |298 |00:26:36 ~-~-> 00:26:39 |our friends and our family members. Yeah, I think I'm going to start this
300 |299 |00:26:39 ~-~-> 00:26:42 |program. Oh, you don't bother me and don't waste your time. That's the first
301 |300 |00:26:42 ~-~-> 00:26:45 |thing that's coming out of their mouth. And if they're not spurting it out,
302 |301 |00:26:46 ~-~-> 00:26:50 |they're thinking it, you can watch it in their face. They're thinking, yeah,
303 |302 |00:26:50 ~-~-> 00:26:56 |we'll see. We're gonna see, buddy. We're gonna see but that's not what you want.
304 |303 |00:26:56 ~-~-> 00:27:00 |You don't want that. You want them to say, You know what that is awesome. You
305 |304 |00:27:00 ~-~-> 00:27:03 |know what? Could you tell me a little bit about that? Because I would like to
306 |305 |00:27:03 ~-~-> 00:27:08 |do that too. That's what this that's the response you're looking for. That's the
307 |306 |00:27:08 ~-~-> 00:27:12 |response you want people to get excited about what you're interested in, but
308 |307 |00:27:12 ~-~-> 00:27:16 |you're not excited about but you absolutely fucking got to be excited
309 |308 |00:27:16 ~-~-> 00:27:18 |like you got to love it. You got to look at yourself and say, You know what?
310 |309 |00:27:18 ~-~-> 00:27:19 |Right now, I
311 |310 |00:27:19 ~-~-> 00:27:24 |don't have it. I don't have it right now, but damn it, I'm going to get
312 |311 |00:27:25 ~-~-> 00:27:30 |it. And every one of you Yahoos that I'm related to has nothing to do with
313 |312 |00:27:30 ~-~-> 00:27:35 |holding me back. You're all going to watch it happen. You're all going to
314 |313 |00:27:35 ~-~-> 00:27:40 |choke on it. All of you that sat back and sit there and said, Well, you know,
315 |314 |00:27:43 ~-~-> 00:27:47 |Shelly said she's gonna be, uh, she's gonna be a trader. Yeah, she's gonna be
316 |315 |00:27:47 ~-~-> 00:27:51 |trading, night, trading your time for money, like we do. But
317 |316 |00:27:55 ~-~-> 00:28:01 |in the beginning, that stuff cuts deep. It cuts deep, but you'll put on your
318 |317 |00:28:01 ~-~-> 00:28:04 |best face, like I was trying to be able to do it as a 20 year old. That doesn't
319 |318 |00:28:04 ~-~-> 00:28:14 |bother me, but it crushed me inside. It crushed me, and I didn't take that as
320 |319 |00:28:14 ~-~-> 00:28:18 |I'm going to do it more carefully to make sure I don't feel the opposite
321 |320 |00:28:18 ~-~-> 00:28:29 |happened. The opposite happened. I dug deep and said, I don't give a shit how
322 |321 |00:28:29 ~-~-> 00:28:33 |many times I fall on my face. I'm going to do it faster, and I'm going to take
323 |322 |00:28:33 ~-~-> 00:28:38 |bigger risks, and I'm going to do it in a stunning manner that absolutely has
324 |323 |00:28:38 ~-~-> 00:28:41 |nothing to do with why I started, because now I gotta do it about
325 |324 |00:28:41 ~-~-> 00:28:46 |impressing these people. I gotta impress my family, who they were even a factor
326 |325 |00:28:46 ~-~-> 00:28:50 |in the beginning. They didn't, they didn't tell me to Hey, start trading
327 |326 |00:28:50 ~-~-> 00:28:55 |this way, and then I gotta make them proud of me. That's not how it happened.
328 |327 |00:28:55 ~-~-> 00:28:59 |My uncle introduced the idea of the trading, but he didn't teach me trading
329 |328 |00:28:59 ~-~-> 00:29:02 |because he didn't know how to trade, and I wasn't interested the first time. I
330 |329 |00:29:02 ~-~-> 00:29:06 |was young. I was a martial artist. I was a young teenager. I was like, Man, I got
331 |330 |00:29:06 ~-~-> 00:29:10 |time for this. I got martial arts and girls, you gotta hear what that man,
332 |331 |00:29:10 ~-~-> 00:29:15 |stock market. I'm trying to invest. How's that? And to be honest, I really
333 |332 |00:29:15 ~-~-> 00:29:20 |wasn't working then. So the concept of money was alien to me, actually, very
334 |333 |00:29:20 ~-~-> 00:29:24 |content and complacent being white trash, because that's exactly how I was
335 |334 |00:29:24 ~-~-> 00:29:30 |raised. If you look at how I live today and how I raised my family and how I was
336 |335 |00:29:30 ~-~-> 00:29:35 |raised, I was the epitome of white trash. I grew up in a neighborhood that
337 |336 |00:29:35 ~-~-> 00:29:40 |was trash with people that were uneducated. The highest graduating
338 |337 |00:29:40 ~-~-> 00:29:46 |average mean was sixth grade. My mother quit school in sixth grade. The only
339 |338 |00:29:46 ~-~-> 00:29:51 |person in my family prior to to me that were blood relatives that ever graduated
340 |339 |00:29:51 ~-~-> 00:29:58 |was my aunt. Think about that. That's the pedigree I come from. Yeah, I'm as
341 |340 |00:29:58 ~-~-> 00:30:06 |blue collar as you can get. Baby, and I have the same problems that you're going
342 |341 |00:30:06 ~-~-> 00:30:10 |to invite. If you're not careful, you're going to invite all of the opinions of
343 |342 |00:30:10 ~-~-> 00:30:15 |other people that don't fucking matter. You're leaning on these people to
344 |343 |00:30:15 ~-~-> 00:30:19 |encourage you. They didn't give you the idea. They didn't give you the first
345 |344 |00:30:19 ~-~-> 00:30:23 |spark that whole point of you even considering it, it never stemmed from
346 |345 |00:30:23 ~-~-> 00:30:30 |them. So why on earth would you invite them to give you their opinion when
347 |346 |00:30:30 ~-~-> 00:30:35 |they're working for money, in debt, paycheck to paycheck, hating fucking
348 |347 |00:30:35 ~-~-> 00:30:38 |life and looking for any exit we have to get out of the relationship because they
349 |348 |00:30:38 ~-~-> 00:30:41 |hate the person they're married to or living with, and these are the people
350 |349 |00:30:41 ~-~-> 00:30:44 |you're going to on social media too. The worst part is, is you're not even
351 |350 |00:30:44 ~-~-> 00:30:49 |fucking related to these people. You're not even related to them. You willfully
352 |351 |00:30:49 ~-~-> 00:30:52 |go in there and say, Hey, what do you think about this? Who gives a fuck what
353 |352 |00:30:52 ~-~-> 00:30:59 |they think? Who gives a fuck with these people that don't do well or better than
354 |353 |00:30:59 ~-~-> 00:31:03 |you? Who gives a shit what they think. And when you take a step back and you
355 |354 |00:31:03 ~-~-> 00:31:06 |think about like this, you know, what? Why the hell am I doing that? Right?
356 |355 |00:31:06 ~-~-> 00:31:12 |That's the question I'm asking. Why are all you doing that? Because you are
357 |356 |00:31:12 ~-~-> 00:31:18 |hoping, just like I did as a 20 year old, that everything I was putting
358 |357 |00:31:18 ~-~-> 00:31:23 |myself through, or, you know, aspiring to be successful in that my own family,
359 |358 |00:31:23 ~-~-> 00:31:29 |you would think, right, my own family would be like, You know what? Michael,
360 |359 |00:31:31 ~-~-> 00:31:37 |everybody in our family, if anybody was ever going to do well in this, it's you,
361 |360 |00:31:37 ~-~-> 00:31:42 |buddy. I can see you doing it like. I can literally see you up there doing
362 |361 |00:31:42 ~-~-> 00:31:45 |everything you're claiming you're going to learn how to be able to do. I can see
363 |362 |00:31:45 ~-~-> 00:31:53 |that that's exciting. Can I learn that too? That's what I wanted to hear. If I
364 |363 |00:31:53 ~-~-> 00:31:57 |would have heard that, I probably would have done so much better in the
365 |364 |00:31:57 ~-~-> 00:32:01 |beginning. I wouldn't have taken ridiculous fucking risks and blew my
366 |365 |00:32:01 ~-~-> 00:32:04 |accounts because I'm trying to show them they're wrong and the only thing I was
367 |366 |00:32:04 ~-~-> 00:32:13 |doing was proving they were right. Think about it, you're doing the same stuff,
368 |367 |00:32:14 ~-~-> 00:32:19 |mostly the men women might be closeted because they still want to talk to their
369 |368 |00:32:19 ~-~-> 00:32:25 |girlfriends. They want to talk to their closest cousin. Okay, like my my wife,
370 |369 |00:32:25 ~-~-> 00:32:30 |she has a cousin. They say that they were like twins when they were younger.
371 |370 |00:32:30 ~-~-> 00:32:33 |I don't see it, because I would have never messed around with the other girl.
372 |371 |00:32:33 ~-~-> 00:32:38 |That's another discussion, another time, but she pals around with her and has
373 |372 |00:32:38 ~-~-> 00:32:43 |conversation more than anybody else in the family, okay? And women tend to have
374 |373 |00:32:43 ~-~-> 00:32:47 |a very close they may have a lot of girlfriends, but they have this little
375 |374 |00:32:47 ~-~-> 00:32:54 |click that's, that's their, that's their, their pride, okay? And if you are
376 |375 |00:32:54 ~-~-> 00:32:57 |trying to learn how to trade, or if you just discovered that that's what you
377 |376 |00:32:57 ~-~-> 00:33:01 |want to try to pursue, or maybe you've been doing it, chances are they know
378 |377 |00:33:01 ~-~-> 00:33:07 |what you're trying to do or what you've begun and anybody else you don't share
379 |378 |00:33:07 ~-~-> 00:33:13 |your business with them. You keep it personal. You still messed up. You still
380 |379 |00:33:13 ~-~-> 00:33:19 |messed up, because now one of two things are going to happen. One, they're going
381 |380 |00:33:19 ~-~-> 00:33:25 |to ask you, Hey, how's that trading going? And you want to be able to say,
382 |381 |00:33:25 ~-~-> 00:33:31 |girlfriend, let me just tell you, I got funded. I got paid out six times. I got
383 |382 |00:33:31 ~-~-> 00:33:35 |these new shoes. Look at this shit early embodies motherfuckers. I did. I did. I
384 |383 |00:33:35 ~-~-> 00:33:39 |bought that shit. I bought that. I passed my phone account channel. Bang,
385 |384 |00:33:39 ~-~-> 00:33:44 |five counts linked up. Bang. Look at me, babe, look at me. Don't you want to be
386 |385 |00:33:44 ~-~-> 00:33:53 |like this? You want to be able to say that, but you're still going through the
387 |386 |00:33:53 ~-~-> 00:33:59 |process of wrestling through the things that you wrestle through. You believe
388 |387 |00:33:59 ~-~-> 00:34:03 |that that day is coming, but you can't give it to them when they ask for a
389 |388 |00:34:03 ~-~-> 00:34:11 |progress report. And that hurts. That hurts because you want to be able to say
390 |389 |00:34:12 ~-~-> 00:34:18 |to your girlfriends, this is what I've done so far. And a true friend,
391 |390 |00:34:19 ~-~-> 00:34:24 |girlfriends would be like, Damn girl, wow, I didn't, honestly, I didn't think
392 |391 |00:34:24 ~-~-> 00:34:34 |you'd be that quick with it, but a true friend would hear you say, it's harder
393 |392 |00:34:34 ~-~-> 00:34:38 |than I thought it was going to be. But I'm not discouraged. I see progress, and
394 |393 |00:34:38 ~-~-> 00:34:41 |I know if I keep working at it, I'm going to get what I'm looking for, and a
395 |394 |00:34:41 ~-~-> 00:34:44 |true family like, you know what? That's, right? Girl, right, girl, you keep on,
396 |395 |00:34:44 ~-~-> 00:34:47 |and that's what, that's what you want to hear. If you have a friend like that,
397 |396 |00:34:47 ~-~-> 00:34:55 |man, you got a real friend. I didn't have friends like that. I had man, I
398 |397 |00:34:55 ~-~-> 00:35:01 |believe when I see it, my wife, my wife, so. Still living the way she lives. If I
399 |398 |00:35:01 ~-~-> 00:35:05 |tell her I'm gonna do this, this, this, and she'll actually probably, when I see
400 |399 |00:35:05 ~-~-> 00:35:10 |it, I'm like, woman, are you crazy? Did you just see what I just did? Look what
401 |400 |00:35:10 ~-~-> 00:35:16 |you just spent where the hell that come from, right? But I'm sure she means it
402 |401 |00:35:16 ~-~-> 00:35:19 |to be funny and silly all the time, but that's just her little her. That's the
403 |402 |00:35:19 ~-~-> 00:35:23 |way we work together. That's our language with one another. She ribs me
404 |403 |00:35:23 ~-~-> 00:35:28 |and I peacock around. But you're not going to get that encouragement you're
405 |404 |00:35:28 ~-~-> 00:35:32 |looking for on social media. I promise you, you might get it in our community
406 |405 |00:35:32 ~-~-> 00:35:36 |here, if you hang around like minded individuals, which is always called a
407 |406 |00:35:36 ~-~-> 00:35:42 |cult, okay, call it a cult, because this is the cult of winning. I make winners.
408 |407 |00:35:42 ~-~-> 00:35:47 |Now everyone coming into this cult of winning isn't going to make it to be a
409 |408 |00:35:47 ~-~-> 00:35:50 |winner, because they're going to tap out. They're going to feel these
410 |409 |00:35:50 ~-~-> 00:35:55 |struggles, these these wrestling matches internally. They're going to feel it and
411 |410 |00:35:55 ~-~-> 00:35:58 |be like, Man, this isn't worth this. Man, I thought it's going to be easy and
412 |411 |00:35:58 ~-~-> 00:36:02 |fast. I can't. I didn't get time for this. What's my boys doing right now?
413 |412 |00:36:02 ~-~-> 00:36:06 |Let's go. We gotta go to the club. I need to get drunk. I need to get blazed
414 |413 |00:36:06 ~-~-> 00:36:15 |up. What are you doing? You're medicating. You're self medicating.
415 |414 |00:36:16 ~-~-> 00:36:20 |That's exactly what you do in your journal. It's self love there. You tell
416 |415 |00:36:20 ~-~-> 00:36:24 |yourself all the time, encourage yourself. You write down in those
417 |416 |00:36:24 ~-~-> 00:36:29 |journal entries everything that you want someone else, that you love or care,
418 |417 |00:36:29 ~-~-> 00:36:32 |that care about the opinion of you want them to say those things you're waiting
419 |418 |00:36:32 ~-~-> 00:36:35 |for it. It's you're listening. You just, you just know that those words are
420 |419 |00:36:35 ~-~-> 00:36:40 |hanging on their tongue and they're going to say it. Well done. Good job.
421 |420 |00:36:40 ~-~-> 00:36:44 |Wow. I'm impressed by that. That's what you want. You want to talk that talk in
422 |421 |00:36:44 ~-~-> 00:36:50 |your journal. You want to be so positive that it's fucking ooey gooey. Love.
423 |422 |00:36:50 ~-~-> 00:36:55 |Okay, that's what you want, because nothing negative will have any impact.
424 |423 |00:36:55 ~-~-> 00:36:58 |And you don't even write anything negative. You encourage yourself
425 |424 |00:36:58 ~-~-> 00:37:04 |constantly, all the time that that journal needs to be something beyond the
426 |425 |00:37:04 ~-~-> 00:37:09 |scope of a Mead spiral notebook. It needs to be something that you have
427 |426 |00:37:09 ~-~-> 00:37:15 |worth and value associated with. That's why my journals, they're anywhere
428 |427 |00:37:15 ~-~-> 00:37:18 |between 80 to $100 a piece. Now you might not have the money to be able to
429 |428 |00:37:18 ~-~-> 00:37:22 |do that right now, that's okay, but you need to think about what you're writing
430 |429 |00:37:22 ~-~-> 00:37:29 |in. That's not some scrapbook where people just jot down things like, Okay,
431 |430 |00:37:29 ~-~-> 00:37:32 |well, you know, I gotta remember to do this and do that, or where your kid can
432 |431 |00:37:32 ~-~-> 00:37:37 |pick it up every now and then and draw on, scribble on. What do you do? How do
433 |432 |00:37:37 ~-~-> 00:37:41 |you keep your journal? Where do you keep it at? Do you have any regard for what
434 |433 |00:37:41 ~-~-> 00:37:48 |you're writing down? Because if they're not treasures to you, if you're not
435 |434 |00:37:48 ~-~-> 00:37:53 |making monuments to your progress, and it sounds narcissistic when we talk like
436 |435 |00:37:53 ~-~-> 00:37:56 |it doesn't to someone that doesn't journal, I don't journal,
437 |436 |00:37:57 ~-~-> 00:38:01 |that's a fucking clown talking like that. That's somebody that is literally
438 |437 |00:38:02 ~-~-> 00:38:09 |planning to fail or never being successful. And there's a lot of people
439 |438 |00:38:09 ~-~-> 00:38:12 |in this in this industry, that are idiots, and they're monetized and
440 |439 |00:38:12 ~-~-> 00:38:18 |they're rewarded, but not for the basis of the ability to trade. They're
441 |440 |00:38:18 ~-~-> 00:38:22 |monetized and rewarded for capturing and holding your attention to their
442 |441 |00:38:22 ~-~-> 00:38:27 |bullshit. Who are they? What are they producing? What fruit are they
443 |442 |00:38:27 ~-~-> 00:38:32 |producing? Who's coming behind them, listening to their logic and saying,
444 |443 |00:38:32 ~-~-> 00:38:37 |well, that worked for me. Look at me. I don't work anymore. I did. I did what
445 |444 |00:38:37 ~-~-> 00:38:45 |this Uber is saying. It's very little of that going on, very little of that. Here
446 |445 |00:38:46 ~-~-> 00:38:50 |we have those receipts. We have those people. We have them both in female and
447 |446 |00:38:50 ~-~-> 00:38:53 |in male. We have them in older people and younger people. We have many
448 |447 |00:38:53 ~-~-> 00:38:59 |teenagers that haven't got to 21 yet. And we have people in their 60s
449 |448 |00:39:00 ~-~-> 00:39:05 |reporting that they're so thankful that they were given this opportunity. And
450 |449 |00:39:05 ~-~-> 00:39:09 |it's a tear jerker for me when I hear things like that, because I look around
451 |450 |00:39:09 ~-~-> 00:39:14 |and it's expensive as a fuck right now, it's so expensive, and I got lots of
452 |451 |00:39:14 ~-~-> 00:39:18 |money, and I still look at this grocery bill and I'm like, how the hell are
453 |452 |00:39:18 ~-~-> 00:39:21 |people making it? Like, how are they doing how are you all doing it? Leave
454 |453 |00:39:21 ~-~-> 00:39:28 |comments if you feel open to do so. It's a struggle. And until you decide to make
455 |454 |00:39:28 ~-~-> 00:39:34 |changes and refine your future self, you gotta filter out all the negative stuff.
456 |455 |00:39:34 ~-~-> 00:39:37 |That doesn't mean you can't acknowledge, like I just did here, saying, man, it's
457 |456 |00:39:37 ~-~-> 00:39:42 |expensive. Acknowledge that that needs to inspire your willingness to stick to
458 |457 |00:39:42 ~-~-> 00:39:45 |it, because you think it's just going to get cheaper. Do you honestly think
459 |458 |00:39:45 ~-~-> 00:39:51 |things are going to be cheaper two years from now? No, they're not. When has ever
460 |459 |00:39:51 ~-~-> 00:39:58 |been a time where inflation has impacted the things that we buy, and it causes
461 |460 |00:39:58 ~-~-> 00:40:02 |shrinkflation and the the amount of the. The Product reduced in size, but they
462 |461 |00:40:02 ~-~-> 00:40:05 |sell it for the same or, if not, more money. When has that ever happened? I
463 |462 |00:40:05 ~-~-> 00:40:09 |remember as a kid, candy bars used to be three times the size that they're at.
464 |463 |00:40:11 ~-~-> 00:40:19 |Not now, I never imagined looking at the things I spent money on, and people
465 |464 |00:40:19 ~-~-> 00:40:25 |spend the majority of their money on junk food, like that stupid waste of
466 |465 |00:40:25 ~-~-> 00:40:32 |money. Are you doing those things too? Are you buying poor substances and
467 |466 |00:40:32 ~-~-> 00:40:39 |calling it and lying to yourself and saying it's food? You're going to have a
468 |467 |00:40:40 ~-~-> 00:40:44 |physiological response to the things you take in and ingest. If you're eating
469 |468 |00:40:44 ~-~-> 00:40:48 |junk food and fast food all the time, you're drinking caffeinated drinks. I
470 |469 |00:40:48 ~-~-> 00:40:52 |don't need a caffeine drink. I can be hopped up in a minute, just like that. I
471 |470 |00:40:52 ~-~-> 00:40:57 |can talk myself up real high. But as you'll learn later in this sort of
472 |471 |00:40:57 ~-~-> 00:41:03 |spatial be able to talk yourself down like a bud come down cold, cool,
473 |472 |00:41:03 ~-~-> 00:41:10 |collected in minutes. That's how you have to operate. You have to look at
474 |473 |00:41:10 ~-~-> 00:41:14 |things in a manner where everything outside of you has no impact or
475 |474 |00:41:14 ~-~-> 00:41:19 |influence over you. But are you doing the opposite right now? Have you been
476 |475 |00:41:19 ~-~-> 00:41:24 |doing the opposite of that. Have you been using social media as a as a drug
477 |476 |00:41:24 ~-~-> 00:41:29 |dealer looking for that? Feel good buzz from ICT, because if that's what you're
478 |477 |00:41:29 ~-~-> 00:41:34 |doing, you're doing it wrong. Yeah, you heard that right? You're doing it wrong.
479 |478 |00:41:37 ~-~-> 00:41:44 |Social media is a cancer and the worst thing you can do is live on it,
480 |479 |00:41:46 ~-~-> 00:41:56 |elevating people to celebrity status. God like personas, they want worship.
481 |480 |00:41:56 ~-~-> 00:42:02 |And some of you want to worship. Some of you all want to be worshipers. Why? Why
482 |481 |00:42:02 ~-~-> 00:42:06 |would you do that? There's only one deserving of that. It ain't me, and it
483 |482 |00:42:08 ~-~-> 00:42:15 |ain't nobody else on social media either. So how do you how do you
484 |483 |00:42:15 ~-~-> 00:42:22 |discover what your problems are? Well, what do you focus on all day long. And
485 |484 |00:42:22 ~-~-> 00:42:27 |how do you act when you're in stressful pressure situations? If you find
486 |485 |00:42:27 ~-~-> 00:42:33 |yourself in a stressful situation that need not be in trading and you react in
487 |486 |00:42:33 ~-~-> 00:42:39 |a manner that is aggressive and anger and outburst, chances are you're a very
488 |487 |00:42:39 ~-~-> 00:42:44 |impulsive person. That means given the opportunity to invest or trade with
489 |488 |00:42:44 ~-~-> 00:42:47 |money, whether it be funded account, demo account, whatever you're going to
490 |489 |00:42:47 ~-~-> 00:42:51 |impulsively do something, because inside you are conquering warrior. That's how
491 |490 |00:42:51 ~-~-> 00:42:54 |you internalize yourself. You see yourself as someone going out there like
492 |491 |00:42:54 ~-~-> 00:42:59 |a gladiator. You challenging me, bro, you challenging me. Step. That's the
493 |492 |00:43:00 ~-~-> 00:43:06 |typical male response. Admittedly, that's Italian. I was not that way when
494 |493 |00:43:06 ~-~-> 00:43:13 |I was a young man growing up. You know, I had to hold that at bay, because I
495 |494 |00:43:13 ~-~-> 00:43:17 |knew if I lay that one time, it would just go wild, and it did for a little
496 |495 |00:43:17 ~-~-> 00:43:22 |while, and I did things I'm not proud of. But what happens if you're in a
497 |496 |00:43:22 ~-~-> 00:43:28 |stressful situation and you clam up, you paralyze yourself, you're like, I don't
498 |497 |00:43:28 ~-~-> 00:43:35 |want to do anything, and you break down. You may cry, you may have anxiety, you
499 |498 |00:43:35 ~-~-> 00:43:42 |may freeze up and lock up and just completely shut down. In trading that's
500 |499 |00:43:42 ~-~-> 00:43:49 |going to be someone that never takes the step forward. You'll never trade. And
501 |500 |00:43:49 ~-~-> 00:43:53 |you have to have a comfort of saying, You know what the outcome might not be,
502 |501 |00:43:53 ~-~-> 00:43:57 |what I want it to be. Every trade starts that way, and you have to invite the
503 |502 |00:43:57 ~-~-> 00:44:03 |opportunity for that to be wrong. Hear what they said there, whereas everyone
504 |503 |00:44:03 ~-~-> 00:44:07 |that puts a trade on now they want I hope it works, but I'm afraid it's
505 |504 |00:44:07 ~-~-> 00:44:10 |probably going to stop me out man, and listen to the youtubers that live
506 |505 |00:44:10 ~-~-> 00:44:16 |stream. Listen closely and the ones that share their face. I'm so thankful for
507 |506 |00:44:16 ~-~-> 00:44:22 |because they're wonderful case studies for you. Watch their whole demeanor
508 |507 |00:44:22 ~-~-> 00:44:27 |change as the market spends more time close to their entry point. See my
509 |508 |00:44:27 ~-~-> 00:44:30 |trades. What I'm teaching you to do is you're going to be entering in the
510 |509 |00:44:30 ~-~-> 00:44:35 |market where the market leaves your entry soon it doesn't spend time around
511 |510 |00:44:35 ~-~-> 00:44:40 |it a lot. And the surest thing you can do in the beginning, while you're
512 |511 |00:44:40 ~-~-> 00:44:44 |learning how to trade and reading the tape is notice that when you think,
513 |512 |00:44:44 ~-~-> 00:44:47 |okay, the market should go up or shouldn't go down. Here, if it doesn't
514 |513 |00:44:47 ~-~-> 00:44:51 |immediately start to respond that way, chances are you're probably wrong. Would
515 |514 |00:44:51 ~-~-> 00:44:54 |you have the willingness to kill that trade, eat the commission, cost and
516 |515 |00:44:54 ~-~-> 00:44:57 |whatever underneath the spread or eating little, small, little drawdown? Would
517 |516 |00:44:58 ~-~-> 00:45:02 |you be going to take that or are you the. Person that's going to say, even if
518 |517 |00:45:02 ~-~-> 00:45:07 |I'm wrong, I'd still like to be able to get my stock to break even. You're
519 |518 |00:45:07 ~-~-> 00:45:10 |worried about money, you're worried about not losing money, you're worried
520 |519 |00:45:10 ~-~-> 00:45:14 |about being perfect, you're worried about never taking a loss, and that is
521 |520 |00:45:14 ~-~-> 00:45:20 |going to invite the very thing happening. You don't understand that
522 |521 |00:45:20 ~-~-> 00:45:26 |right now here, and it sounds like can't be true, but that's exactly what it is.
523 |522 |00:45:27 ~-~-> 00:45:33 |If you're afraid to make money because you're afraid of losing money, you're
524 |523 |00:45:33 ~-~-> 00:45:37 |never going to make it as a trader, because every trade that you open up is
525 |524 |00:45:37 ~-~-> 00:45:40 |a losing trade that you have to trade your way out of. You're underneath the
526 |525 |00:45:40 ~-~-> 00:45:43 |commission cost. As soon as soon as you put the trade in, boom, you have
527 |526 |00:45:44 ~-~-> 00:45:48 |whatever that cost is, the spread you have to overcome that if you're trading
528 |527 |00:45:48 ~-~-> 00:45:54 |in the forex market, commission cost is your broker, and it's got to climb up
529 |528 |00:45:54 ~-~-> 00:45:59 |enough to cover those costs. And how much does it need to do that before you
530 |529 |00:45:59 ~-~-> 00:46:04 |can put your stop to break even, and just because it's going to break even,
531 |530 |00:46:04 ~-~-> 00:46:08 |just static price action and redelivery is going to stop you out you try to
532 |531 |00:46:08 ~-~-> 00:46:13 |chase too fast, but stop loss is too tight unless you know things, the things
533 |532 |00:46:13 ~-~-> 00:46:22 |I'm teaching for free. So when you're journaling and you're observing old
534 |533 |00:46:22 ~-~-> 00:46:26 |price moves, or maybe it's something you watch in a live stream, and you see me
535 |534 |00:46:26 ~-~-> 00:46:29 |discussing something, and maybe you're at odds. Okay, he just said he thinks
536 |535 |00:46:29 ~-~-> 00:46:36 |it's going to do this. Okay, maybe everything I'm saying in live streams,
537 |536 |00:46:36 ~-~-> 00:46:39 |you're saying, I don't think that's going to happen. What does that indicate
538 |537 |00:46:39 ~-~-> 00:46:43 |to you? Well, I can tell you, what you're really trying to do is you're
539 |538 |00:46:43 ~-~-> 00:46:46 |looking for an opportunity to go on social media and say, look, here's, I
540 |539 |00:46:46 ~-~-> 00:46:49 |guarantee you, there's 1000s of people out there. They're all young men, little
541 |540 |00:46:49 ~-~-> 00:46:53 |kids. They're all or source service sellers. And, course, sellers, they're
542 |541 |00:46:53 ~-~-> 00:46:56 |out there with their little demo accounts, and they're trying to do the
543 |542 |00:46:56 ~-~-> 00:46:59 |opposite so they can go on social media. Look, ICT said this and look, here's the
544 |543 |00:46:59 ~-~-> 00:47:06 |trade off. This took That's bullshit. That's bullshit. But if you're not doing
545 |544 |00:47:06 ~-~-> 00:47:11 |that for that purpose, there just to get clout online, what are you doing it for?
546 |545 |00:47:11 ~-~-> 00:47:15 |Why do you feel that everything I'm saying in a live stream that most of the
547 |546 |00:47:15 ~-~-> 00:47:21 |times coming true? But why are you doubting it? Is that you being
548 |547 |00:47:21 ~-~-> 00:47:29 |unteachable? No, I had a student of mine that was always trading against me named
549 |548 |00:47:29 ~-~-> 00:47:34 |Troy. I'm gonna say his last name, but he knows if he's listening everything I
550 |549 |00:47:34 ~-~-> 00:47:39 |taught he was doing the opposite of and then he would send me emails. He would
551 |550 |00:47:39 ~-~-> 00:47:44 |complain and say, I don't know why it's not working. I'm pissed off. Used to be
552 |551 |00:47:44 ~-~-> 00:47:48 |a poker player. Did real well doing that, and he thought that it would be
553 |552 |00:47:48 ~-~-> 00:47:52 |easy to walk it into trading. And I tried to explain to him, I said, Listen,
554 |553 |00:47:53 ~-~-> 00:47:56 |your superpower is that you're contrarian.
555 |554 |00:47:58 ~-~-> 00:48:04 |There's a place for contrarians in trading. That's turtle suit trades,
556 |555 |00:48:04 ~-~-> 00:48:10 |false breakouts, not trend following. So if you go into the marketplace looking
557 |556 |00:48:10 ~-~-> 00:48:13 |for things like that as your opportunity, that's your model, that's
558 |557 |00:48:13 ~-~-> 00:48:17 |your whole structure and approach to attacking price action as a man, because
559 |558 |00:48:17 ~-~-> 00:48:21 |you're a gladiator, you see what I just did there. I maxed out personality,
560 |559 |00:48:22 ~-~-> 00:48:26 |school of thought, the way they internalize things. And the thing that
561 |560 |00:48:26 ~-~-> 00:48:31 |is a weakness, I turn it into a strength. That's a mentor, that's
562 |561 |00:48:31 ~-~-> 00:48:35 |someone that knows what the fuck they're talking about and creates winners.
563 |562 |00:48:36 ~-~-> 00:48:42 |That's someone that has done this many, many times and has failed, and those
564 |563 |00:48:42 ~-~-> 00:48:48 |failures did not hold me down. I learned from them. And you're all out there
565 |564 |00:48:48 ~-~-> 00:48:52 |trying to learn from these 20 year olds that are just parroting what I'm saying,
566 |565 |00:48:52 ~-~-> 00:48:56 |and they don't have the life experience with it. They have never made serious
567 |566 |00:48:56 ~-~-> 00:49:00 |money. They've never lost serious money. They never went through the problems of
568 |567 |00:49:01 ~-~-> 00:49:05 |finding it, I'm going to dig in deep. I'm going through a period where
569 |568 |00:49:05 ~-~-> 00:49:08 |everything isn't working, and I need to figure out what I'm supposed to do with
570 |569 |00:49:08 ~-~-> 00:49:12 |no other incursion right now, there's social media. You look around, you'll
571 |570 |00:49:12 ~-~-> 00:49:17 |find someone to blow smoke up your ass. You will you'll find it. But if you're
572 |571 |00:49:17 ~-~-> 00:49:22 |not fixing the root causes, these triggering things that you keep
573 |572 |00:49:22 ~-~-> 00:49:26 |repeating, that you don't identify, are problematic issues. I call them
574 |573 |00:49:26 ~-~-> 00:49:33 |character flaws. I have them. I have them as a teacher, as a mentor. It would
575 |574 |00:49:33 ~-~-> 00:49:36 |be foolish for me to tell you I don't have any problems. I don't have any
576 |575 |00:49:36 ~-~-> 00:49:41 |issues. Fucking course I do. I'm human. I'm absolutely human. I wish I would
577 |576 |00:49:41 ~-~-> 00:49:44 |have held on to the trades longer. I wish I would have had more on I wish I
578 |577 |00:49:44 ~-~-> 00:49:47 |would have cut off more the trade before it turned around. On me. Come on. I got
579 |578 |00:49:48 ~-~-> 00:49:52 |no problem telling you those things. That's the reality of it. But I also
580 |579 |00:49:52 ~-~-> 00:49:58 |know when to dial in, when this shits going to be good. Allah, Friday the
581 |580 |00:49:58 ~-~-> 00:50:02 |13th, I seem to like it was a pretty. Lucky day around here, wasn't it?
582 |581 |00:50:02 ~-~-> 00:50:10 |Cookout was amazing. I can't wait for another one. Invite me again. Yeah, how
583 |582 |00:50:10 ~-~-> 00:50:20 |about that? But you have to go through the process of seeing how you feel when
584 |583 |00:50:20 ~-~-> 00:50:24 |you're watching price action. Do you turn it into a love story? Like, oh man,
585 |584 |00:50:24 ~-~-> 00:50:28 |this is perfect. This was love at sir. This is Love at first sight. This fair
586 |585 |00:50:28 ~-~-> 00:50:33 |value gap. I saw it. I've walked in there. I was the Euro dollar sitting
587 |586 |00:50:33 ~-~-> 00:50:39 |right there in the New York kills in she was fine. Look at that girl. Turn
588 |587 |00:50:39 ~-~-> 00:50:43 |around. Let me see what you got in the back. Oh, my goodness, I'm in there.
589 |588 |00:50:44 ~-~-> 00:50:49 |Tap. You're in that fair value gap. It's starting to run. You covered the dealing
590 |589 |00:50:49 ~-~-> 00:50:54 |spread, your stop loss. You're tucking up behind there, a little bit behind
591 |590 |00:50:54 ~-~-> 00:50:58 |that fair value gap low, and you're like, man, it's a romance. Now it's
592 |591 |00:50:58 ~-~-> 00:51:02 |going to run up there to my TP. I can't stand when people say TP. You know, I
593 |592 |00:51:02 ~-~-> 00:51:05 |hear TP. I think tool of paper. Okay, now that's, I guess it's not far
594 |593 |00:51:05 ~-~-> 00:51:08 |stretched, because most of these fucking people out there, they're trying to
595 |594 |00:51:08 ~-~-> 00:51:12 |teach people how to trade. Their fucking trades are trash. They're shit. So TP
596 |595 |00:51:12 ~-~-> 00:51:18 |makes fucking perfect sense. It's a take profit, or that's your target, TP, TP
597 |596 |00:51:18 ~-~-> 00:51:23 |like you can't say the fucking word TP. That's the equivalent of somebody on the
598 |597 |00:51:23 ~-~-> 00:51:26 |fucking road that can flick their little turn signal. It's right there next to
599 |598 |00:51:26 ~-~-> 00:51:29 |your fucking hand. You lazy ass. Just fuck it. Let everybody know what the
600 |599 |00:51:29 ~-~-> 00:51:33 |hell you're doing. Protect the car you're driving. Protect your personal
601 |600 |00:51:33 ~-~-> 00:51:39 |property. And there are other people's personal property. I'm like a dog. I see
602 |601 |00:51:39 ~-~-> 00:51:44 |a squirrel. What girl it feel easy for me to come off of. These are all the
603 |602 |00:51:44 ~-~-> 00:51:49 |things I usually delete out of the pre recorded lecture, but here you get all
604 |603 |00:51:49 ~-~-> 00:51:56 |the fun kind of atmosphere. But how do you feel when you're watching price
605 |604 |00:51:56 ~-~-> 00:52:04 |action? Are you at odds with the final boss. You're in a video game, and it's
606 |605 |00:52:04 ~-~-> 00:52:09 |like, I only got one life left. This is it. I'm on it, and I got to win this one
607 |606 |00:52:09 ~-~-> 00:52:16 |or it's game over. I have to have to reset. You're putting too much emphasis
608 |607 |00:52:16 ~-~-> 00:52:24 |on the outcome, so you need to observe what you're trying to talk yourself away
609 |608 |00:52:24 ~-~-> 00:52:28 |from. That's toxic. When you're journaling, don't record them with the
610 |609 |00:52:28 ~-~-> 00:52:33 |toxicity. What do I mean by that? You're watching price action? You're not
611 |610 |00:52:33 ~-~-> 00:52:37 |demoing. You're not doing funded account challenges. You're not trading with a
612 |611 |00:52:37 ~-~-> 00:52:40 |funded account. You're not trading with a little bit of money. Because I don't
613 |612 |00:52:40 ~-~-> 00:52:45 |learn how real money. We're going to talk about that again, I'm you're just
614 |613 |00:52:45 ~-~-> 00:52:49 |simply watching the tape. You're watching price action fluctuate, and
615 |614 |00:52:49 ~-~-> 00:52:53 |you're trying to get a feel for what makes you feel like the market's going
616 |615 |00:52:53 ~-~-> 00:52:57 |to behave a certain way. And you record that at what minute market do you see
617 |616 |00:52:57 ~-~-> 00:53:04 |that happen? And describe what it is if you don't have the ability to just, you
618 |617 |00:53:04 ~-~-> 00:53:08 |know, shorthand it, in other words, couple keywords, it's going to help you
619 |618 |00:53:08 ~-~-> 00:53:13 |remember what you were feeling at that time. Record yourself audibly at this
620 |619 |00:53:14 ~-~-> 00:53:19 |minute market right here. I'm watching POUND DOLLAR at this minute mark right
621 |620 |00:53:19 ~-~-> 00:53:21 |now. I'm watching crude oil at this minute market right now, I'm watching S
622 |621 |00:53:22 ~-~-> 00:53:28 |P, I'm watching NASDAQ, and I see this right now, and what I expect to see,
623 |622 |00:53:28 ~-~-> 00:53:33 |based on my current understanding, I believe that the market's going to
624 |623 |00:53:33 ~-~-> 00:53:36 |behave this way, it's going to go to this buy side, or it's going to go to
625 |624 |00:53:36 ~-~-> 00:53:40 |this sell side, and it should not go below this low or above this High before
626 |625 |00:53:40 ~-~-> 00:53:46 |it does that. That's what I believe. And then at that moment, you say, how
627 |626 |00:53:46 ~-~-> 00:53:52 |confident? Describe your confidence in that happening, even if you don't feel
628 |627 |00:53:52 ~-~-> 00:53:56 |extremely confident about it, just say, I got a hunch that it's probably going
629 |628 |00:53:56 ~-~-> 00:54:01 |to do this, but I'm not all that convinced yet. You need to be aware of
630 |629 |00:54:01 ~-~-> 00:54:07 |that. At the end of that experiment, that study, which I'm going to put you
631 |630 |00:54:07 ~-~-> 00:54:11 |through this week, I'm going to outline how you can go in and do drills over and
632 |631 |00:54:11 ~-~-> 00:54:15 |over and over, all day long, all day long. You can do these things, and
633 |632 |00:54:16 ~-~-> 00:54:19 |you're going to see how to find the right fair value gap, because you're
634 |633 |00:54:19 ~-~-> 00:54:23 |going to test every single one of them with me. We're going to be out here.
635 |634 |00:54:23 ~-~-> 00:54:26 |You're invited to have a demo account this week, because we're all going to be
636 |635 |00:54:26 ~-~-> 00:54:30 |pushing buttons. I want you to see what it feels like. Okay, I want you to see
637 |636 |00:54:30 ~-~-> 00:54:34 |what it feels like to be in something that has a measurement applied to it.
638 |637 |00:54:35 ~-~-> 00:54:39 |Does this work? Does this not work? How fast does it fail? How fast does it
639 |638 |00:54:39 ~-~-> 00:54:45 |work? What do you feel when I promote these certain situations? I'm gonna say,
640 |639 |00:54:45 ~-~-> 00:54:50 |Look at this. We're gonna do this right here. We're gonna buy this right here.
641 |640 |00:54:50 ~-~-> 00:54:53 |We're gonna sell this right here. Listen to me and I'm gonna say it again in the
642 |641 |00:54:53 ~-~-> 00:55:03 |live streams. It nauseum. Okay, do not use. It as a signal service. Do not take
643 |642 |00:55:03 ~-~-> 00:55:07 |your funded account, challenge, or your funded account, or your Live account,
644 |643 |00:55:07 ~-~-> 00:55:12 |and follow these as entries. I am not telling you to do that. Caleb is
645 |644 |00:55:12 ~-~-> 00:55:17 |watching this. You're all watching this. I'm teaching how you get comfortable
646 |645 |00:55:17 ~-~-> 00:55:22 |with not needing to be right, and how, by contrast, like I was describing
647 |646 |00:55:22 ~-~-> 00:55:28 |yesterday in livestream, when there's liquid, fluidy fluidity in price action,
648 |647 |00:55:28 ~-~-> 00:55:31 |where it just moves around real nice, and it creates these imbalances, and it
649 |648 |00:55:31 ~-~-> 00:55:35 |reaches, sweeping up to buy side and down the sell side. That's a trader's
650 |649 |00:55:35 ~-~-> 00:55:40 |market. That is a market that you can just go in there. You don't need to have
651 |650 |00:55:40 ~-~-> 00:55:44 |a bias. You don't need a bias in it because it's moving around so nicely.
652 |651 |00:55:44 ~-~-> 00:55:50 |You can get 1015, 2030, handles and be opposed to if I was being held at
653 |652 |00:55:50 ~-~-> 00:55:54 |gunpoint. Hey, ICT, is this going to be up close day or down close? Day? Up
654 |653 |00:55:54 ~-~-> 00:55:58 |close day? Okay, you're thinking you only want to be a buyer for the rest of
655 |654 |00:55:58 ~-~-> 00:56:02 |your career in that because ICT said it's going to be up close day, I have
656 |655 |00:56:02 ~-~-> 00:56:06 |proven many, many times that you could be a short seller in a day that I'm
657 |656 |00:56:06 ~-~-> 00:56:11 |primarily bullish in. But see in the beginning, it's fruitful for you to only
658 |657 |00:56:11 ~-~-> 00:56:14 |focus on the side that a higher Time Frame bias indicates that it's likely to
659 |658 |00:56:14 ~-~-> 00:56:18 |keep moving in one direction, higher or lower. So if you filter out everything
660 |659 |00:56:18 ~-~-> 00:56:25 |that would be impulsive for you to take a trade on, and it may be going against
661 |660 |00:56:25 ~-~-> 00:56:29 |that higher time bias. It filters out the likelihood, not that all of them
662 |661 |00:56:29 ~-~-> 00:56:33 |would fail, but chances are, as a new student, trying to do something with
663 |662 |00:56:33 ~-~-> 00:56:37 |money that you can't afford to lose, trying to spend money on funded account
664 |663 |00:56:37 ~-~-> 00:56:40 |challenges that you can't afford to spend yet, not getting the results that
665 |664 |00:56:40 ~-~-> 00:56:45 |you're hoping for. And then that compounds and builds up inside of you,
666 |665 |00:56:45 ~-~-> 00:56:49 |and then you have to wrestle through that, like weeds and thorn bushes,
667 |666 |00:56:49 ~-~-> 00:56:53 |because the destination you have in front of you of successful trading and
668 |667 |00:56:53 ~-~-> 00:56:59 |consistently profitable it gets barriers placed in front of it, thorn bushes.
669 |668 |00:56:59 ~-~-> 00:57:03 |Pitch it, pitch snares, you know, all these booby traps you're laying out in
670 |669 |00:57:03 ~-~-> 00:57:07 |front, because the last time you did this, you got hurt. So you're not
671 |670 |00:57:07 ~-~-> 00:57:11 |getting closer to your objective and your destiny. You're you're creating
672 |671 |00:57:11 ~-~-> 00:57:14 |barriers because you're doing all the wrong things, not realizing that that's
673 |672 |00:57:14 ~-~-> 00:57:19 |causing an impediment to your progress, because you think you're going to do
674 |673 |00:57:19 ~-~-> 00:57:23 |something to circumvent the need to go through all the things that are required
675 |674 |00:57:23 ~-~-> 00:57:28 |for you to do it correctly. It's better to do the things I'm telling you to do
676 |675 |00:57:28 ~-~-> 00:57:31 |and avoid the things I tell you to avoid, because you won't have to second
677 |676 |00:57:31 ~-~-> 00:57:33 |guess and think about, you know, did I do it the right way?
678 |677 |00:57:34 ~-~-> 00:57:37 |You'll have very little to go back on once you get there and say, You know
679 |678 |00:57:37 ~-~-> 00:57:41 |what? It wasn't as bad as I thought. It was. Contrast that with, well, I
680 |679 |00:57:41 ~-~-> 00:57:44 |listened to swaggy. He said, Go out there and start with real money. Because
681 |680 |00:57:44 ~-~-> 00:57:48 |I have to learn, with real money that's foolish knowledge, that's not even
682 |681 |00:57:48 ~-~-> 00:57:54 |knowledge, that's misinformation, if you take something from other influencers
683 |682 |00:57:55 ~-~-> 00:57:58 |being the only one that's ever said that. But I take odds at that, because
684 |683 |00:58:00 ~-~-> 00:58:05 |when you monetize your right or wrong in the beginning, because you elevate every
685 |684 |00:58:05 ~-~-> 00:58:09 |transaction, every idea, on the basis of right or wrong. I'm not promoting the
686 |685 |00:58:09 ~-~-> 00:58:13 |idea that you need to worry about you right and wrong. These jokers that try
687 |686 |00:58:13 ~-~-> 00:58:17 |to say that stuff, they're literally twisting everything I've ever taught you
688 |687 |00:58:17 ~-~-> 00:58:21 |don't need to be right. It's not about being right. It's about being
689 |688 |00:58:22 ~-~-> 00:58:27 |profitable. But they'll take my word Swiss around act like they come up with
690 |689 |00:58:27 ~-~-> 00:58:34 |something. You remove the necessity about being right. If you remove that,
691 |690 |00:58:34 ~-~-> 00:58:38 |that means there's no emotional tie to it. You have no psychological arm
692 |691 |00:58:38 ~-~-> 00:58:41 |wrestling match. Now to prove to yourself or anyone else, that you're
693 |692 |00:58:41 ~-~-> 00:58:51 |right. You don't need to be right, but you won't identify what those triggering
694 |693 |00:58:51 ~-~-> 00:58:55 |things are inside you that are intrusive thoughts that become materialized and
695 |694 |00:58:55 ~-~-> 00:59:03 |manifested into losing money. And you will not, I guarantee you you will not.
696 |695 |00:59:03 ~-~-> 00:59:08 |If you do those things and you lose money, you're gonna fault me. You're
697 |696 |00:59:08 ~-~-> 00:59:11 |gonna fault everybody else you followed in a discord room or that telegram
698 |697 |00:59:11 ~-~-> 00:59:15 |channel or that YouTube guy or that person live streaming, I lost all my
699 |698 |00:59:15 ~-~-> 00:59:19 |money, listen to your ass, and they're gonna fault find and they're gonna push
700 |699 |00:59:19 ~-~-> 00:59:24 |all the responsibility off themselves. I've seen this happen. I've seen it. But
701 |700 |00:59:26 ~-~-> 00:59:30 |the question is, what do you do with all the hundreds of 1000s of people that are
702 |701 |00:59:30 ~-~-> 00:59:34 |making money with it? They learn the same thing. What are they doing
703 |702 |00:59:34 ~-~-> 00:59:38 |differently? What did you do? And every time I've asked, they always either
704 |703 |00:59:38 ~-~-> 00:59:42 |expose themselves or just they didn't do the right work. They were not using the
705 |704 |00:59:42 ~-~-> 00:59:46 |things they were taught. Are you teachable? Are you willing to listen?
706 |705 |00:59:46 ~-~-> 00:59:52 |You're here today, listening to this, and your mind is the first tool that's
707 |706 |00:59:53 ~-~-> 00:59:57 |responsible for you to make the right steps going forward, and if you allow to
708 |707 |00:59:57 ~-~-> 01:00:06 |be clouded with fear, anxiety. Uh, premature self worth to high levels of I
709 |708 |01:00:06 ~-~-> 01:00:14 |want to be respected and almost borderline worship online. You're doing
710 |709 |01:00:14 ~-~-> 01:00:18 |it wrong, and you need to fix that. You gotta do some house cleaning. But when
711 |710 |01:00:18 ~-~-> 01:00:24 |you're journaling, you need to discover what that root catalyst was that caused
712 |711 |01:00:24 ~-~-> 01:00:30 |you the uncertainty about an idea when you were watching price, or what gave
713 |712 |01:00:30 ~-~-> 01:00:40 |you superhuman level confidence. What was those triggering factors? And if
714 |713 |01:00:40 ~-~-> 01:00:45 |it's a negative. You have to say, for instance, a second like this. Say you're
715 |714 |01:00:45 ~-~-> 01:00:48 |watching a NASDAQ, and you're tape reading, and you're doing the drills I'm
716 |715 |01:00:48 ~-~-> 01:00:54 |going to teach you guys this week, and you get into one and you don't really
717 |716 |01:00:54 ~-~-> 01:00:58 |feel confident that it's going to behave like you would like to see it behave,
718 |717 |01:00:58 ~-~-> 01:01:01 |but you still do the exercise, and you press the demo, and you want to watch
719 |718 |01:01:01 ~-~-> 01:01:06 |how long it takes you to get stopped out or run to the target, but as soon as you
720 |719 |01:01:06 ~-~-> 01:01:13 |press the button, you feel regret like this isn't I should have waited. What
721 |720 |01:01:13 ~-~-> 01:01:16 |that's going to do is, number one, you're you're dealing with a demo, but
722 |721 |01:01:16 ~-~-> 01:01:21 |if you feel that, and it may only happen for a second internally, what that's
723 |722 |01:01:21 ~-~-> 01:01:26 |highlighting is even on a demo where nobody else can see it, you feel the
724 |723 |01:01:26 ~-~-> 01:01:35 |pressure of having it correct. Now you have an opportunity. So you're many
725 |724 |01:01:35 ~-~-> 01:01:38 |times you're hiding that stuff, the things that you have to sweep up and
726 |725 |01:01:38 ~-~-> 01:01:43 |clean up in your head, all these intrusive thoughts, all these hindering
727 |726 |01:01:43 ~-~-> 01:01:46 |spirits that are keeping you from finding the success you're looking for.
728 |727 |01:01:47 ~-~-> 01:01:51 |You're you're letting them live with you. You're making the bed for them.
729 |728 |01:01:51 ~-~-> 01:01:54 |You're feeding them constantly, three meals and a cup every single day. You're
730 |729 |01:01:54 ~-~-> 01:01:59 |feeding these intrusive thoughts, these demons they're going to hold you back.
731 |730 |01:01:59 ~-~-> 01:02:04 |You're allowing them, you're allowing them to live rent free in your life,
732 |731 |01:02:04 ~-~-> 01:02:10 |consuming all of your productivity, all of your progress. You're it's stealing
733 |732 |01:02:10 ~-~-> 01:02:16 |your future success like a vampire. It's sucking the life marrow out of you. You
734 |733 |01:02:16 ~-~-> 01:02:25 |don't even realize it, but when you journal, it puts a microscope or you
735 |734 |01:02:25 ~-~-> 01:02:29 |ever top of that, and you're in that Fortress of Solitude. You're not going
736 |735 |01:02:29 ~-~-> 01:02:32 |to talk about these things with me. You're not going to talk about with the
737 |736 |01:02:32 ~-~-> 01:02:37 |people online. It's safe. It's safe for you to do this. It's a controlled
738 |737 |01:02:37 ~-~-> 01:02:43 |environment. Nothing bad can happen. It's only upside. It's only upside doing
739 |738 |01:02:43 ~-~-> 01:02:47 |these things, and it makes you better as a person. It will make you better as a
740 |739 |01:02:47 ~-~-> 01:02:55 |trader, and it'll help you wrestle fear, fear of missing out, greed, over
741 |740 |01:02:55 ~-~-> 01:03:02 |trading, over leveraging, all those things are corrected with a journal. And
742 |741 |01:03:02 ~-~-> 01:03:06 |you wonder why these same influencers online have to keep resetting their fund
743 |742 |01:03:06 ~-~-> 01:03:10 |account challenges, and they keep blowing up. They're dancing around,
744 |743 |01:03:10 ~-~-> 01:03:13 |carrying on entertaining you, but they keep blowing up. And you ask them, Do
745 |744 |01:03:15 ~-~-> 01:03:20 |you journal? No, come on, man. And then you're wondering why they're constantly
746 |745 |01:03:20 ~-~-> 01:03:26 |having to publicly reset. They gotta constantly keep doing that, and they
747 |746 |01:03:26 ~-~-> 01:03:29 |just, if they just would listen, put their pride aside and just listen,
748 |747 |01:03:29 ~-~-> 01:03:35 |because this is good medicine, folks, this is good medicine. No one successful
749 |748 |01:03:35 ~-~-> 01:03:43 |in trading falls into it by accident. It's an earned skill set, and it will
750 |749 |01:03:43 ~-~-> 01:03:49 |not ever be easy for anyone, even if you listen to everything I'm telling you to
751 |750 |01:03:49 ~-~-> 01:03:53 |do, which, in my opinion, is the correct way of doing it, not because it's mine,
752 |751 |01:03:54 ~-~-> 01:04:02 |because it's rooted in pure psychology, sound logic, when you remove the sugary
753 |752 |01:04:02 ~-~-> 01:04:06 |sweet, I gotta do it fast. And you already, you know, You already owe it to
754 |753 |01:04:06 ~-~-> 01:04:11 |me last week, and you better give to me in a five minute video or I'm not
755 |754 |01:04:11 ~-~-> 01:04:15 |interested. I'm not going to follow you. I see if you have the time to sit down
756 |755 |01:04:15 ~-~-> 01:04:18 |and write that like you owe us this, you owe us that. I'm not going to Don't
757 |756 |01:04:18 ~-~-> 01:04:21 |follow me. I'm not going to change my lifestyle because you didn't follow me
758 |757 |01:04:21 ~-~-> 01:04:25 |or you won't support me or like me, I don't give a about that. None of you
759 |758 |01:04:25 ~-~-> 01:04:28 |people matter that much to me. Okay, that's the truth. None of you matter
760 |759 |01:04:28 ~-~-> 01:04:34 |that much to me. But why waste the opportunity when someone like myself is
761 |760 |01:04:34 ~-~-> 01:04:39 |willing to teach you for free, and when I've done it with other people, and the
762 |761 |01:04:39 ~-~-> 01:04:46 |things that they do, are all linked to the things I'm telling you here today.
763 |762 |01:04:46 ~-~-> 01:04:51 |You have to journal. Don't hide from your character flaws. You do it in your
764 |763 |01:04:51 ~-~-> 01:04:56 |journal. Discover what they are, and you find that by how you feel when you're
765 |764 |01:04:56 ~-~-> 01:05:00 |doing these exercises. Do you feel like? Okay, I'm going to make this I'm. This
766 |765 |01:05:00 ~-~-> 01:05:04 |is what he told me I should reach for in a target that, but I'm gonna do this.
767 |766 |01:05:04 ~-~-> 01:05:08 |What is that? What's that tell you you're trying to you're trying to
768 |767 |01:05:08 ~-~-> 01:05:13 |stretch the boundaries because you're competitive. You're fucking competitive,
769 |768 |01:05:13 ~-~-> 01:05:20 |right? Okay, you want to race bolt with a fucking leg cast on, because that's
770 |769 |01:05:20 ~-~-> 01:05:23 |exactly what you're trying to say. You're trying to say. You're going to
771 |770 |01:05:23 ~-~-> 01:05:28 |do. Yeah, I'm going to run this faster than a guy that's done world records. So
772 |771 |01:05:28 ~-~-> 01:05:33 |you have a superiority complex, which is what most of the influencers online have
773 |772 |01:05:33 ~-~-> 01:05:36 |against me. They don't like that. They don't like the fact that I can do this
774 |773 |01:05:36 ~-~-> 01:05:39 |all the time, every single day. They don't like it because it casts a very
775 |774 |01:05:39 ~-~-> 01:05:46 |large shadow on them. I'm talking to them here too, not talking down to them.
776 |775 |01:05:46 ~-~-> 01:05:50 |I'm talking to them as a peer. Hey, you're in the same industry. I am. I'm
777 |776 |01:05:50 ~-~-> 01:05:55 |not a giant. I'm not I'm not somebody that should be worshiped or looked up
778 |777 |01:05:55 ~-~-> 01:06:00 |to. I don't like when people do that to me, but these people want that if they
779 |778 |01:06:00 ~-~-> 01:06:04 |listen to me like I'm trying to teach you to do it, they will be better
780 |779 |01:06:04 ~-~-> 01:06:09 |traders, better mentors, and they will be pillars in the industry that deserve
781 |780 |01:06:09 ~-~-> 01:06:15 |recognition, because right now, they don't deserve it. They don't. All of
782 |781 |01:06:15 ~-~-> 01:06:19 |them have the capability of getting there, and some of you probably aspire
783 |782 |01:06:19 ~-~-> 01:06:25 |to be like that. Listen to me, because you'll do it far better. You'll do it
784 |783 |01:06:25 ~-~-> 01:06:32 |without drama marketing, because that doesn't work. That never works. It just
785 |784 |01:06:32 ~-~-> 01:06:40 |casts a viewpoint that's easily fostered in a large degree of the attendance or
786 |785 |01:06:40 ~-~-> 01:06:44 |the one workers, and they'll immediately make their decision right away, Oh, this
787 |786 |01:06:44 ~-~-> 01:06:51 |guy's he's not a drama. Or this, this woman's got too much going on, and
788 |787 |01:06:51 ~-~-> 01:06:59 |you'll never have your voice heard. So when you're developing yourself, you
789 |788 |01:06:59 ~-~-> 01:07:04 |have to take that time and energy and and consider yourself worth it. A lot of
790 |789 |01:07:04 ~-~-> 01:07:07 |you think, Well, I got time for journaling. What you're saying is, is
791 |790 |01:07:07 ~-~-> 01:07:13 |you're not fucking worth the time and the investment in identifying how you
792 |791 |01:07:13 ~-~-> 01:07:17 |can improve yourself and put yourself on the highest degree of performance.
793 |792 |01:07:17 ~-~-> 01:07:21 |That's really what you're saying when you say, I do not want to journal. I
794 |793 |01:07:21 ~-~-> 01:07:21 |don't
795 |794 |01:07:22 ~-~-> 01:07:27 |want to do that. I don't want to put a progress of measuring my progress in
796 |795 |01:07:27 ~-~-> 01:07:31 |black and white in front of me, where I can look at where my progress started
797 |796 |01:07:31 ~-~-> 01:07:35 |and where I'm at today. That's how you know you can do it, because you see the
798 |797 |01:07:35 ~-~-> 01:07:38 |things that you're learning. See, if you don't write it down, you're going to
799 |798 |01:07:38 ~-~-> 01:07:43 |forget it. If you don't write it down, you're never going to remember it and
800 |799 |01:07:43 ~-~-> 01:07:51 |revisit it. If someone, after you were long gone, finds your journal, are they
801 |800 |01:07:51 ~-~-> 01:07:58 |going to read the Diary of a madman that was so abusive to themselves or, wow,
802 |801 |01:07:58 ~-~-> 01:08:03 |this person was very encouraging to themselves, and I can see that they have
803 |802 |01:08:03 ~-~-> 01:08:10 |identified their progress. So you all want to see trade statistics, bro, show
804 |803 |01:08:10 ~-~-> 01:08:15 |me your My FX book. Bro, show me that you got on the leaderboard, on the
805 |804 |01:08:15 ~-~-> 01:08:19 |funded account challenge, or whatever it is. I can't think of I don't know how
806 |805 |01:08:19 ~-~-> 01:08:22 |they work, but some I know topsta has a leaderboard. I don't know if the other
807 |806 |01:08:22 ~-~-> 01:08:28 |companies do get on the Robin's cup or we don't believe you. Okay, this is a
808 |807 |01:08:28 ~-~-> 01:08:33 |litmus test for idiots. It is. It really is, because what you're saying is you
809 |808 |01:08:33 ~-~-> 01:08:38 |have to see somebody else show you something. And let's be honest, if
810 |809 |01:08:38 ~-~-> 01:08:41 |everything's shown to that type of person, they're still not going to do
811 |810 |01:08:41 ~-~-> 01:08:45 |anything. They're just going to be mad and huff and puff and just go and try to
812 |811 |01:08:45 ~-~-> 01:08:52 |troll somebody else. So it's not that they want to be inspired to learn how to
813 |812 |01:08:52 ~-~-> 01:08:56 |do what you're learning how to do. They're just in here to trying to find
814 |813 |01:08:56 ~-~-> 01:09:01 |some kind of talking point. But you do very similar things in the beginning, if
815 |814 |01:09:01 ~-~-> 01:09:05 |you're not guarded, you want the opinions of others to support you and
816 |815 |01:09:05 ~-~-> 01:09:11 |encourage you. Why should anybody that's not part of this community think now, if
817 |816 |01:09:11 ~-~-> 01:09:17 |they're not already a part of this group here, why would you expect them to
818 |817 |01:09:17 ~-~-> 01:09:25 |encourage you? That's insanity. You're asking someone on the outside to have
819 |818 |01:09:25 ~-~-> 01:09:29 |the same perspective or a higher opinion of what you're trying to do and learn,
820 |819 |01:09:30 ~-~-> 01:09:37 |then you do yourself, and then you're weighing the delivery of that opinion
821 |820 |01:09:37 ~-~-> 01:09:46 |being favorable for you as a basis for you to continue going up to a blind man
822 |821 |01:09:46 ~-~-> 01:09:53 |say, hey, which flower here is prettier? This is this one here in my right hand?
823 |822 |01:09:53 ~-~-> 01:09:56 |Or which one is it the left hand or the right hand? Which one's prettier? How
824 |823 |01:09:56 ~-~-> 01:09:59 |the fuck does he know? And that's exactly what you're doing with everybody
825 |824 |01:09:59 ~-~-> 01:10:03 |else. You're saying, hey, look, what do you think? The only thing they got to go
826 |825 |01:10:03 ~-~-> 01:10:08 |on is everybody else's opinion, and if it's a positive, you're a cultist.
827 |826 |01:10:08 ~-~-> 01:10:12 |You're all brainwashed. You're not seeing me call price, you're not seeing
828 |827 |01:10:12 ~-~-> 01:10:17 |me execute. You're not seeing those things. You're not seeing other students
829 |828 |01:10:17 ~-~-> 01:10:24 |making real money with it. You're not seeing that they ignore that. So how can
830 |829 |01:10:24 ~-~-> 01:10:29 |you take their opinion as balanced? But you're still asking the ether you're
831 |830 |01:10:29 ~-~-> 01:10:33 |tossing out there on social media. Hey, what do you think about ICTs concept of
832 |831 |01:10:33 ~-~-> 01:10:37 |this and that nail thing? If they're a little dick energy guy, they're gonna
833 |832 |01:10:37 ~-~-> 01:10:43 |say, Oh yeah, he lifted I got this one 90% of everything ICT teaches, he got it
834 |833 |01:10:43 ~-~-> 01:10:48 |from somebody else. We're still waiting. We're still waiting for somebody to come
835 |834 |01:10:48 ~-~-> 01:10:51 |out and say, Here's exactly where ICT got order blocks from, and the mean
836 |835 |01:10:51 ~-~-> 01:10:56 |threshold and institutional order flow, entry drill, and all the things I teach
837 |836 |01:10:56 ~-~-> 01:11:02 |the long it's a long list of it never happens, but because they know that your
838 |837 |01:11:02 ~-~-> 01:11:07 |mentality is wrapped around this 32nd Tiktok duration. You have short
839 |838 |01:11:07 ~-~-> 01:11:11 |attention spans. You're wondering why people are stupid today is because
840 |839 |01:11:11 ~-~-> 01:11:18 |they've stopped teaching. It's all about feelings. It's about having experiences
841 |840 |01:11:18 ~-~-> 01:11:22 |online. We don't have conversations anymore. You don't sit down and write
842 |841 |01:11:22 ~-~-> 01:11:27 |with a pen and pad. And pad a letter or sit down and type out a letter. It's
843 |842 |01:11:27 ~-~-> 01:11:31 |Throw it to me in a text, throw it to me in a post on social media. And hey,
844 |843 |01:11:31 ~-~-> 01:11:38 |you're my buddy. You're my friend. That's bullshit. When I talk to you. I
845 |844 |01:11:38 ~-~-> 01:11:42 |care about the audience that's I'm targeting. I'm talking to my children.
846 |845 |01:11:43 ~-~-> 01:11:48 |That's why you listen to me, because you feel the sense of urgency for me to
847 |846 |01:11:48 ~-~-> 01:11:57 |communicate this importance, because the audience is my own flesh and blood, so
848 |847 |01:11:57 ~-~-> 01:12:01 |I'm not going to shortchange them. I don't give a fuck if Tom Dick, and
849 |848 |01:12:01 ~-~-> 01:12:04 |Harry's fucking mentorship guy out there says he talks too much. He could have
850 |849 |01:12:04 ~-~-> 01:12:08 |did this and did that. These people that do these five minute trainers, they're
851 |850 |01:12:08 ~-~-> 01:12:13 |not doing shit. They're wasting your time, because the only thing they're
852 |851 |01:12:13 ~-~-> 01:12:16 |doing is creating these very barriers that you don't realize are gonna be
853 |852 |01:12:16 ~-~-> 01:12:20 |appearing in front of you. You want it to happen for you fast? Well, guess what
854 |853 |01:12:20 ~-~-> 01:12:24 |happens when you try to do it and it and it doesn't happen fast for you? What do
855 |854 |01:12:24 ~-~-> 01:12:29 |you think I can't do this when I'm telling you? Expect it going in it's
856 |855 |01:12:29 ~-~-> 01:12:34 |going to be hard when you come into this. You're all dirt. You're just
857 |856 |01:12:34 ~-~-> 01:12:41 |dirty. You don't have anything that shines, nothing. You have a desire, but
858 |857 |01:12:41 ~-~-> 01:12:45 |that's you're still just dirt. There's nothing that shines about you as a
859 |858 |01:12:45 ~-~-> 01:12:54 |trader that you have to refine, that go through a process and change that, and
860 |859 |01:12:55 ~-~-> 01:12:59 |then you can mold that, apply a little bit of sweat. What's that? That's
861 |860 |01:12:59 ~-~-> 01:13:03 |moisture. And you can now take that dirt and shape it into something, mold it
862 |861 |01:13:03 ~-~-> 01:13:10 |like pottery, and you shape that future self after constantly refining it. And
863 |862 |01:13:11 ~-~-> 01:13:14 |it doesn't happen overnight. And I've never said it's going to be a fast
864 |863 |01:13:14 ~-~-> 01:13:18 |process. I said it's going to be a lot of work, not because it's hard to learn
865 |864 |01:13:18 ~-~-> 01:13:23 |these things. The concepts are straightforward. As I was talking about
866 |865 |01:13:23 ~-~-> 01:13:28 |yesterday on the live stream the last hour trading, the people that say it's
867 |866 |01:13:28 ~-~-> 01:13:32 |complicated or I complicate trading, it's not. I actually have created more
868 |867 |01:13:32 ~-~-> 01:13:37 |opportunities to trade, but in the hands of someone that wants to be self
869 |868 |01:13:37 ~-~-> 01:13:43 |defeating or self destructive, those tendencies that are inside you that you
870 |869 |01:13:43 ~-~-> 01:13:47 |haven't identified and wrestled them into submission and subduing them, those
871 |870 |01:13:47 ~-~-> 01:13:52 |demons that are in you, if you don't have a way of subduing them, if you
872 |871 |01:13:52 ~-~-> 01:13:55 |weaponize them where they can hurt you financially, they're going to jump on
873 |872 |01:13:55 ~-~-> 01:13:59 |that opportunity every single time, and they're going to leave you demoralized,
874 |873 |01:13:59 ~-~-> 01:14:02 |regretful, and eventually it's going to beat you down and you're going to beat
875 |874 |01:14:02 ~-~-> 01:14:05 |you down, and you're going to be in depression. And depression is a physical
876 |875 |01:14:05 ~-~-> 01:14:11 |feeling. It's something it's not I don't feel good about myself. You know,
877 |876 |01:14:11 ~-~-> 01:14:16 |psychologically or emotionally? No, you feel depression. It's painful, and if
878 |877 |01:14:16 ~-~-> 01:14:21 |you live in it long enough, it'll affect your health. You develop anxiety, you
879 |878 |01:14:21 ~-~-> 01:14:26 |develop all these physical symptoms that you think that are emergencies when
880 |879 |01:14:26 ~-~-> 01:14:30 |they're not. It is physiological responses to things that our body has
881 |880 |01:14:30 ~-~-> 01:14:34 |been created to give us sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
882 |881 |01:14:36 ~-~-> 01:14:42 |Everybody's equipped with this, but the way you regulate these two nervous
883 |882 |01:14:42 ~-~-> 01:14:49 |systems. It's in everybody's body. The anatomic nervous system is everybody has
884 |883 |01:14:49 ~-~-> 01:14:54 |it. We don't think about breathing. It just happens, right? Have you ever had a
885 |884 |01:14:54 ~-~-> 01:15:01 |moment my wife said this to me about a month ago. I. She goes, I'm not sure how
886 |885 |01:15:01 ~-~-> 01:15:08 |to describe this to you, but I feel like I forgot how to breathe because I've had
887 |886 |01:15:08 ~-~-> 01:15:13 |anxiety before. I have perfect understanding of what she means. And
888 |887 |01:15:13 ~-~-> 01:15:16 |maybe that probably struck a chord with some of you that are listening, where
889 |888 |01:15:16 ~-~-> 01:15:20 |all of a sudden you think to yourself, I gotta breathe more. I have to breathe
890 |889 |01:15:20 ~-~-> 01:15:24 |faster and have to breathe deeper. Nothing has changed. There's no
891 |890 |01:15:24 ~-~-> 01:15:27 |immediate threat in the room with you. No one has jumped scared you. No one's
892 |891 |01:15:27 ~-~-> 01:15:31 |come out and tried to grab you and pull you into a van teach you how to trade
893 |892 |01:15:31 ~-~-> 01:15:37 |these whole things of spontaneous anxiety. They may start off mildly, like
894 |893 |01:15:37 ~-~-> 01:15:44 |feeling like I can't catch my breath, something's something's going on. If I
895 |894 |01:15:44 ~-~-> 01:15:48 |don't consciously think about breathing, I feel like I'm going to stop what
896 |895 |01:15:48 ~-~-> 01:15:50 |happens if I stop breathing? I'm probably going to die. And if this
897 |896 |01:15:50 ~-~-> 01:15:53 |happens right before you go to sleep, that's what you're not doing sleep. So
898 |897 |01:15:55 ~-~-> 01:15:59 |if you have problems with sleep, I don't have problems with sleep. Okay, when I
899 |898 |01:15:59 ~-~-> 01:16:04 |talk about my sleep schedule, had people have doctors tell me you need to have
900 |899 |01:16:04 ~-~-> 01:16:07 |eight hours of sleep. Bullshit, bullshit. You don't need eight hours of
901 |900 |01:16:07 ~-~-> 01:16:13 |sleep. When I was a working man, I needed nine hours of sleep. I needed
902 |901 |01:16:13 ~-~-> 01:16:17 |that because I was already keyed up as an individual. That's why I don't drink
903 |902 |01:16:17 ~-~-> 01:16:22 |caffeine. I don't drink coffee. As a trader, if you don't have a complete
904 |903 |01:16:23 ~-~-> 01:16:28 |mastery of yourself and you're drinking stimulants like caffeine, Cathy coffee,
905 |904 |01:16:28 ~-~-> 01:16:34 |because it has caffeine in it, what you're doing is you're literally pouring
906 |905 |01:16:34 ~-~-> 01:16:41 |gas on a fire. And if you're not careful, you will cause yourself health
907 |906 |01:16:41 ~-~-> 01:16:45 |problems later on that you really don't want. There's a right way to do this,
908 |907 |01:16:45 ~-~-> 01:16:49 |folks, and you can live in a very balanced state. And you you hear me
909 |908 |01:16:49 ~-~-> 01:16:53 |talk, and I sound in balance now, because I want, I want to maintain your
910 |909 |01:16:53 ~-~-> 01:16:58 |attention. That's what this is. It's all about making sure that you don't fall
911 |910 |01:16:58 ~-~-> 01:17:01 |asleep, because it's real easy to fall asleep listening to me, because it's not
912 |911 |01:17:01 ~-~-> 01:17:07 |about making money right now, but it is about making money. You can't make money
913 |912 |01:17:07 ~-~-> 01:17:11 |consistently until you master yourself, until you subdue these intrusive
914 |913 |01:17:11 ~-~-> 01:17:14 |thoughts, until you subdue these demons that you're wrestling with, that you
915 |914 |01:17:14 ~-~-> 01:17:15 |have made house guests,
916 |915 |01:17:17 ~-~-> 01:17:21 |you turn a blind eye. Oh, yeah, that's fucking Joe. He's, he doesn't have a
917 |916 |01:17:21 ~-~-> 01:17:26 |job, always sits around, plays fucking Xbox all day long, eats up everything,
918 |917 |01:17:26 ~-~-> 01:17:29 |doesn't buy anything, never takes a fucking bath. He stinks the whole house
919 |918 |01:17:29 ~-~-> 01:17:35 |all up. But, you know, he's now part of the furniture here. He's, he's a staple
920 |919 |01:17:35 ~-~-> 01:17:38 |here in the house, so I don't like to interact with them, but I know they're
921 |920 |01:17:38 ~-~-> 01:17:41 |there. I can't do anything to get him out. I don't want to kick him out. He's
922 |921 |01:17:41 ~-~-> 01:17:43 |a loved one. He's a family member. That's what you've done with these
923 |922 |01:17:43 ~-~-> 01:17:48 |demons, these things that you hold on to. You guard them, you protect them.
924 |923 |01:17:49 ~-~-> 01:17:53 |Instead of saying, Get the fuck out of here. You don't belong here. You have no
925 |924 |01:17:53 ~-~-> 01:17:57 |more business here. You're not holding you back. No more. You're not a problem
926 |925 |01:17:57 ~-~-> 01:18:04 |for me anymore. Get the fuck out. Replace it with something positive. I'm
927 |926 |01:18:04 ~-~-> 01:18:09 |scared to take a trade. Why? Why are you? Are you afraid to take a trade
928 |927 |01:18:09 ~-~-> 01:18:12 |because you have no model. You don't have a model because you had this demon
929 |928 |01:18:12 ~-~-> 01:18:16 |constantly telling you that's not going to work. Don't even bother putting any
930 |929 |01:18:16 ~-~-> 01:18:20 |time into this. You're going to sit here and look back and I wasted three months.
931 |930 |01:18:20 ~-~-> 01:18:24 |If you get that far into it and you're gonna half ass it when you say you're
932 |931 |01:18:24 ~-~-> 01:18:28 |journaling, you're gonna scribble a couple fucking words, draw a little
933 |932 |01:18:28 ~-~-> 01:18:32 |diagram or something. Draw, you know, swing higher, swing low, and draw a
934 |933 |01:18:32 ~-~-> 01:18:35 |liner and say that's an order block. Look, I did the journal. Look at this.
935 |934 |01:18:35 ~-~-> 01:18:42 |This guy's a liar. Bro. I have people that have showed their journals to me,
936 |935 |01:18:43 ~-~-> 01:18:48 |and they're like the Encyclopedia Britannica. It's volumes of shit. That's
937 |936 |01:18:48 ~-~-> 01:18:53 |somebody that's going to do so much in the industry. It's crazy, like that's
938 |937 |01:18:53 ~-~-> 01:18:56 |exactly the high end of what I'm encouraging them from all you. You don't
939 |938 |01:18:56 ~-~-> 01:19:02 |need to be that far with it, but you have to record your progress. You have
940 |939 |01:19:02 ~-~-> 01:19:09 |to record that otherwise. How can you reasonably comfort yourself when you
941 |940 |01:19:09 ~-~-> 01:19:12 |feel like you want to quit? What do you have to hang your hat on when you feel
942 |941 |01:19:12 ~-~-> 01:19:15 |like you don't want to do it anymore because you had a week of drawdown? What
943 |942 |01:19:15 ~-~-> 01:19:19 |happens when you blow your account? What happens when you lose your funded
944 |943 |01:19:19 ~-~-> 01:19:22 |account? What happens when you can't pass that funded account challenge and
945 |944 |01:19:22 ~-~-> 01:19:27 |you don't have the money to spend on it again until the next paycheck. Now you
946 |945 |01:19:27 ~-~-> 01:19:31 |gotta wait. And you're thinking yourself, maybe, if I don't pay Netflix,
947 |946 |01:19:31 ~-~-> 01:19:35 |maybe if I get rid of this, and I get rid of that, that's probably a good
948 |947 |01:19:35 ~-~-> 01:19:40 |thing if you did that, because watching TV is bullshit. I don't watch TV. I have
949 |948 |01:19:40 ~-~-> 01:19:46 |old shows on Blu ray. If I want to watch a movie, Janice's are it's probably
950 |949 |01:19:46 ~-~-> 01:19:53 |something old, because they don't have all that wood bullshit in it. But I
951 |950 |01:19:53 ~-~-> 01:19:59 |watch very little of any entertainment stuff. I watch the Deadpool movie and
952 |951 |01:19:59 ~-~-> 01:20:04 |it's. Theater with my sons, and that was it. That's the most recent thing. I
953 |952 |01:20:04 ~-~-> 01:20:08 |don't like to go to theaters anymore. To me, it's a terrible waste. I have a
954 |953 |01:20:08 ~-~-> 01:20:12 |theater in my house. I don't need to go there and sit in something that's dirty.
955 |954 |01:20:12 ~-~-> 01:20:16 |Be around people on our cell phones and talking bullshit. I can do all that
956 |955 |01:20:16 ~-~-> 01:20:25 |stuff in my own house. I have a nicer theater in my home. I If you don't have
957 |956 |01:20:25 ~-~-> 01:20:30 |the progress report that you have encouraged yourself along the way and
958 |957 |01:20:30 ~-~-> 01:20:34 |acknowledging where what you're learning didn't work in your hands that day, and
959 |958 |01:20:34 ~-~-> 01:20:41 |then you say, I'm glad I had the opportunity to see this fail, because
960 |959 |01:20:41 ~-~-> 01:20:44 |now I can go in and discover more about what it is I didn't know at the time
961 |960 |01:20:45 ~-~-> 01:20:54 |when I took this idea. See that is that something that you as a child, if you
962 |961 |01:20:54 ~-~-> 01:20:57 |watch your child try to do something, try to learn how to ride a bike, you
963 |962 |01:20:57 ~-~-> 01:21:01 |took the training wheels off. You've been walking with them holding the seat,
964 |963 |01:21:01 ~-~-> 01:21:08 |and now you want to let go, and you tell them, Timmy, Daddy's got you, but I know
965 |964 |01:21:09 ~-~-> 01:21:15 |if I let go for a minute, you'll be fine, trust it. Just keep pedaling and
966 |965 |01:21:15 ~-~-> 01:21:17 |you let go. And what happens if they panic and they fall down? Are you going
967 |966 |01:21:17 ~-~-> 01:21:23 |to scold him? No, you're gonna get him up, brush his knees off, his hands off,
968 |967 |01:21:23 ~-~-> 01:21:28 |and say, hey, look, you know what, you did good. This doing that right there.
969 |968 |01:21:29 ~-~-> 01:21:33 |And you're not dead, you're not bleeding out. You didn't break a bone. But now
970 |969 |01:21:33 ~-~-> 01:21:38 |let's get back on here and do it again. And they may they may fuss and say, I'm
971 |970 |01:21:38 ~-~-> 01:21:43 |afraid, but what are you going to do? You're going to encourage them. That's
972 |971 |01:21:43 ~-~-> 01:21:47 |what you do with yourself in your journal. You have to be a good parent in
973 |972 |01:21:47 ~-~-> 01:21:52 |your journal. You are refining your future self. If you don't care about
974 |973 |01:21:52 ~-~-> 01:21:56 |yourself, if you don't really love yourself, you're going to discover that
975 |974 |01:21:56 ~-~-> 01:22:02 |in journaling. That's why these social media influencers are so fucking toxic
976 |975 |01:22:02 ~-~-> 01:22:06 |because they hate themselves. They are not where they want to be at and they
977 |976 |01:22:06 ~-~-> 01:22:10 |are looking to outside influences, their audience members, to worship them and
978 |977 |01:22:10 ~-~-> 01:22:18 |lift them up on a pedestal, because they need that. They need that more than they
979 |978 |01:22:18 ~-~-> 01:22:23 |need money. I don't need that, and I don't encourage it, and I don't need
980 |979 |01:22:23 ~-~-> 01:22:27 |fucking money, and I'm teaching for free. I'm spending my Saturday morning
981 |980 |01:22:27 ~-~-> 01:22:38 |with y'all. I'm hanging out with you on a non monetized medium, just talking got
982 |981 |01:22:38 ~-~-> 01:22:41 |trying to encourage some friends of mine. That's all I'm trying to do here.
983 |982 |01:22:44 ~-~-> 01:22:49 |But I bet you probably never thought about things like this, and that should
984 |983 |01:22:49 ~-~-> 01:22:53 |be encouraging to you, because chances are, you were probably thinking about it
985 |984 |01:22:53 ~-~-> 01:23:00 |differently and much more toxic. And the metrics of measuring what your
986 |985 |01:23:00 ~-~-> 01:23:04 |expectations were and what you're willing to put yourself through are far
987 |986 |01:23:04 ~-~-> 01:23:09 |out of spec based on what I just said here. Isn't this a whole lot more
988 |987 |01:23:09 ~-~-> 01:23:14 |comforting if you approach your learning this way? Would you not agree that? Yes,
989 |988 |01:23:14 ~-~-> 01:23:18 |it takes some time to sit down and journal those things if you don't want
990 |989 |01:23:18 ~-~-> 01:23:21 |to do that, number one, it's shining a huge spotlight on the fact that you
991 |990 |01:23:21 ~-~-> 01:23:24 |don't care enough about yourself and your future success to even consider it,
992 |991 |01:23:25 ~-~-> 01:23:28 |but you're probably the same person that can entertain the idea of going to
993 |992 |01:23:28 ~-~-> 01:23:32 |college. You probably were willing unless you got a scholarship, or your
994 |993 |01:23:32 ~-~-> 01:23:38 |dad parents paid for your college. You took on student debt that you can't
995 |994 |01:23:38 ~-~-> 01:23:43 |write off, just like taxes. I mean, you can't escape it, but you were, you were
996 |995 |01:23:43 ~-~-> 01:23:49 |willing to go through the process of putting yourself into long term debt on
997 |996 |01:23:49 ~-~-> 01:23:53 |something you were not even assured was going to be a profitable venture for
998 |997 |01:23:53 ~-~-> 01:23:57 |you. Yeah, I want to be a bearing biologist. Yeah. I want to be a
999 |998 |01:23:57 ~-~-> 01:24:00 |psychologist. I want to study philosophy. Why the fuck do people go to
1000 |999 |01:24:00 ~-~-> 01:24:04 |college to take a get a degree in philosophy? I don't understand that.
1001 |1000 |01:24:05 ~-~-> 01:24:11 |Read the Bible, read some well maintained texts, and you're going to
1002 |1001 |01:24:11 ~-~-> 01:24:16 |get a better understanding of philosophy than you would from these bullshit
1003 |1002 |01:24:16 ~-~-> 01:24:21 |indoctrination centers, but you're willing to put yourself through that
1004 |1003 |01:24:21 ~-~-> 01:24:25 |four years or longer if you're going for a higher degree, PhD, Master, something
1005 |1004 |01:24:25 ~-~-> 01:24:31 |to that effect, to get to the degree of what I'm showing you with technical
1006 |1005 |01:24:31 ~-~-> 01:24:34 |science, you want to get a PhD in technical science through ICT, the
1007 |1006 |01:24:34 ~-~-> 01:24:38 |College of ICT, the School of Hard fucking Knox, because that's what this
1008 |1007 |01:24:40 ~-~-> 01:24:43 |is. We don't have campus fucking parties. We don't have keg parties. We
1009 |1008 |01:24:43 ~-~-> 01:24:48 |don't throw TP over the fucking trees and get drunk. We take it serious around
1010 |1009 |01:24:48 ~-~-> 01:24:57 |here we are, if trading had colleges, I'm the ivy fucking League of it. Okay,
1011 |1010 |01:24:57 ~-~-> 01:25:02 |that's just the way it is. I produce. Winners, I produce people that give a
1012 |1011 |01:25:02 ~-~-> 01:25:07 |fuck about themselves, and when they learn how to do this, their esteem is
1013 |1012 |01:25:07 ~-~-> 01:25:14 |really high, their self worth extremely high, and to weaker people around them,
1014 |1013 |01:25:14 ~-~-> 01:25:18 |it seems like narcissism. It seems like arrogance, and that's just you
1015 |1014 |01:25:18 ~-~-> 01:25:23 |reflecting your own insignificance because you've beat yourself down.
1016 |1015 |01:25:24 ~-~-> 01:25:27 |You've let other people do that. They're holding you back. You're holding
1017 |1016 |01:25:27 ~-~-> 01:25:32 |yourself back because you think toxic thoughts all the time. When I was going
1018 |1017 |01:25:32 ~-~-> 01:25:46 |through agoraphobia and 2001 2002 2003 it was all based on the 911 attack. Like
1019 |1018 |01:25:46 ~-~-> 01:25:49 |I was, I was terrified. I had people that were not just me. I don't think I
1020 |1019 |01:25:49 ~-~-> 01:25:57 |would have had this happen to me if I didn't have a wife and kid. If I didn't
1021 |1020 |01:25:57 ~-~-> 01:26:03 |have that, I think I would have been like, Well, yeah, that's can civil it is
1022 |1021 |01:26:03 ~-~-> 01:26:08 |what it is. But because I had family members that I have brought into this
1023 |1022 |01:26:08 ~-~-> 01:26:13 |world with my wife that are not capable of taking care of themselves, and I have
1024 |1023 |01:26:13 ~-~-> 01:26:18 |a wife that doesn't look at the world the way she does today, but back then
1025 |1024 |01:26:18 ~-~-> 01:26:24 |Jesus was like anything else. Back then, we didn't have social media like we had
1026 |1025 |01:26:24 ~-~-> 01:26:28 |today, but she used to watch TV news all the time. Every time news would be on,
1027 |1026 |01:26:28 ~-~-> 01:26:33 |she's watching it. And I'm like, Do you realize that nothing good just came off
1028 |1027 |01:26:33 ~-~-> 01:26:36 |that fucking television, and you want to constantly come back to it. And they
1029 |1028 |01:26:36 ~-~-> 01:26:39 |started doing 10 o'clock news because six o'clock some five o'clock news
1030 |1029 |01:26:39 ~-~-> 01:26:43 |wasn't enough. Now gotta get 10 o'clock because we gotta prep you for the 11
1031 |1030 |01:26:43 ~-~-> 01:26:50 |o'clock news, and it's always bad, toxic shit. So I was always listening to in
1032 |1031 |01:26:50 ~-~-> 01:26:53 |the background the terror threats been raised from yellow to orange. That's
1033 |1032 |01:26:53 ~-~-> 01:26:57 |what they used to do back then. They constantly were, they were, they were
1034 |1033 |01:26:58 ~-~-> 01:27:05 |priming us to live in fear, and it worked on me. That was the weakest time
1035 |1034 |01:27:05 ~-~-> 01:27:10 |of my life where I was allowing these assholes to convince me that impending
1036 |1035 |01:27:10 ~-~-> 01:27:10 |boom
1037 |1036 |01:27:10 ~-~-> 01:27:14 |was going to happen at any moment, and I was being indoctrinated. I was being
1038 |1037 |01:27:15 ~-~-> 01:27:19 |brainwashed, like most people back then, and we just watched it now. I still
1039 |1038 |01:27:19 ~-~-> 01:27:22 |people driving the around with masks by themselves, with your windows rolled up
1040 |1039 |01:27:22 ~-~-> 01:27:26 |in their car. What the hell's going on? And that's exactly what I told everybody
1041 |1040 |01:27:26 ~-~-> 01:27:30 |on Twitter this very app in 2019 watch what they're getting ready to do, and
1042 |1041 |01:27:30 ~-~-> 01:27:37 |here you go. And it ain't done. We're getting ready to hit the real show. And
1043 |1042 |01:27:37 ~-~-> 01:27:42 |I would be out of my mind with anxiety if I hadn't learned what I'm about to
1044 |1043 |01:27:42 ~-~-> 01:27:43 |teach you,
1045 |1044 |01:27:46 ~-~-> 01:27:51 |everybody has stress. Everybody has stress. That's part of life. Jesus
1046 |1045 |01:27:53 ~-~-> 01:27:57 |said you're going to have tribulation in this world, but not everybody's going to
1047 |1046 |01:27:57 ~-~-> 01:28:05 |go through great tribulation. You happens if you have a bad day in the
1048 |1047 |01:28:05 ~-~-> 01:28:10 |market? What happens if you have a bad day at your job, or you have a falling
1049 |1048 |01:28:10 ~-~-> 01:28:14 |out in your relationship and you have a trading account open with real money, or
1050 |1049 |01:28:14 ~-~-> 01:28:19 |a funded account, or a fund account challenge open that you can trade and
1051 |1050 |01:28:19 ~-~-> 01:28:25 |see results in what happens if you have a bad day? What's the first thing you
1052 |1051 |01:28:25 ~-~-> 01:28:31 |feel like you want to do? Men, I already know what you want to do. Ladies, maybe
1053 |1052 |01:28:31 ~-~-> 01:28:34 |not so much this. But men, you want to push the button and fuck around and find
1054 |1053 |01:28:34 ~-~-> 01:28:42 |out you want to replace that. I just got canned at my job, I just got made
1055 |1054 |01:28:42 ~-~-> 01:28:46 |redundant and let go. I just got a final written warning that if I do this or
1056 |1055 |01:28:46 ~-~-> 01:28:53 |don't live up to this output and performance, I'm going to be given my
1057 |1056 |01:28:53 ~-~-> 01:28:58 |walking papers and fired terminators. You're stressed out now, rightfully so,
1058 |1057 |01:28:59 ~-~-> 01:29:03 |but chances are you probably didn't do the things I'm talking about in this
1059 |1058 |01:29:03 ~-~-> 01:29:08 |Twitter space here today that could have mitigate all that by taking initiative,
1060 |1059 |01:29:08 ~-~-> 01:29:12 |being responsible, owning it, and working towards progressing and being
1061 |1060 |01:29:12 ~-~-> 01:29:14 |better. Because if you journal like this, you're going to find that it
1062 |1061 |01:29:14 ~-~-> 01:29:20 |starts bleeding into your personal life, not just in trading. You'll find that
1063 |1062 |01:29:20 ~-~-> 01:29:24 |you'll interact with people in a much more favorable and professional manner.
1064 |1063 |01:29:25 ~-~-> 01:29:29 |You'll talk differently. Your vocabulary will increase, and it won't be it won't
1065 |1064 |01:29:29 ~-~-> 01:29:38 |be quickly reached for for toxic opinions. You'll look for reasons that
1066 |1065 |01:29:38 ~-~-> 01:29:42 |talk about something good and positive, because you realize the effect it has on
1067 |1066 |01:29:42 ~-~-> 01:29:47 |you, so therefore, wow, you know, I know, if I talk to someone, and I talk
1068 |1067 |01:29:47 ~-~-> 01:29:53 |about all the positives that I can see in someone, and say, hey, look, I see
1069 |1068 |01:29:53 ~-~-> 01:29:58 |what you're doing, and I think that you are doing an amazing thing here, and I
1070 |1069 |01:29:58 ~-~-> 01:30:04 |like how you. Did this? Have you ever considered this? And then you've
1071 |1070 |01:30:04 ~-~-> 01:30:08 |encouraged them, you acknowledged what they did was right, and you encouraged
1072 |1071 |01:30:08 ~-~-> 01:30:12 |them. That's what goes on in our community. I don't see that happening in
1073 |1072 |01:30:12 ~-~-> 01:30:17 |other people's community. I see a competitive I gotta be better. I gotta
1074 |1073 |01:30:17 ~-~-> 01:30:21 |stand out. We don't, you know, I have a few of those in my group. Then they're
1075 |1074 |01:30:21 ~-~-> 01:30:25 |revealing themselves. I don't need to know what sex they are. I can tell what
1076 |1075 |01:30:25 ~-~-> 01:30:31 |they are the way they talk in their posts. They're toxic males. They want to
1077 |1076 |01:30:31 ~-~-> 01:30:37 |be dominating, okay? And chances are they're probably being reckless in their
1078 |1077 |01:30:37 ~-~-> 01:30:43 |training. You can read a person very easily by watching what they put on
1079 |1078 |01:30:43 ~-~-> 01:30:47 |social media. You can see their frailties, you can see their strengths.
1080 |1079 |01:30:47 ~-~-> 01:30:52 |You can see how they think and how they share their opinion about other people.
1081 |1080 |01:30:52 ~-~-> 01:30:56 |Is a direct relationship to how they view themselves, because they're
1082 |1081 |01:30:56 ~-~-> 01:31:02 |projecting. Are you someone like that? Are you someone that's like that? You're
1083 |1082 |01:31:02 ~-~-> 01:31:05 |always critical. Talking to everybody else, because you're thinking that if
1084 |1083 |01:31:05 ~-~-> 01:31:10 |you do that, it eases the pain, because you're not in your journal telling
1085 |1084 |01:31:10 ~-~-> 01:31:15 |yourself that this is an opportunity to improve upon. These are a frailty. These
1086 |1085 |01:31:15 ~-~-> 01:31:19 |are a character flaw that I have at the moment, but here's how I'm going to fix
1087 |1086 |01:31:19 ~-~-> 01:31:24 |it and work towards making it better or less impactful for the negative aspects,
1088 |1087 |01:31:26 ~-~-> 01:31:30 |you're being responsible with yourself. You're cultivating a proper learning
1089 |1088 |01:31:30 ~-~-> 01:31:37 |environment. You're removing all toxicity. You're not inviting all of the
1090 |1089 |01:31:37 ~-~-> 01:31:40 |opinions of others, even if they are loved ones, even if they are your
1091 |1090 |01:31:40 ~-~-> 01:31:46 |spouse. They're not going to see it the way you see it right now. Let them
1092 |1091 |01:31:46 ~-~-> 01:31:53 |discover how much of success you really are when you get there. Quietly. Don't
1093 |1092 |01:31:53 ~-~-> 01:31:56 |talk about it, because if you're going to talk about it, you're using energy
1094 |1093 |01:31:56 ~-~-> 01:31:59 |that could have been used to study, that's time that could have been used
1095 |1094 |01:31:59 ~-~-> 01:32:02 |for studying and journaling, if it's good enough for you to say it before
1096 |1095 |01:32:02 ~-~-> 01:32:06 |you, before you live it, before you have it in your hands. If you're going to say
1097 |1096 |01:32:06 ~-~-> 01:32:11 |it out loud, because you hear this people talking about, I'm going to
1098 |1097 |01:32:11 ~-~-> 01:32:17 |manifest it, I'm going to speak it into existence, you're not God. Only one can
1099 |1098 |01:32:17 ~-~-> 01:32:23 |do that, but you can self talk and encourage yourself, but in trading, you
1100 |1099 |01:32:23 ~-~-> 01:32:30 |do not do that. In social circles, you don't do that. Don't do that. You
1101 |1100 |01:32:30 ~-~-> 01:32:34 |channel that stuff right into your journal. And when you have a bad day,
1102 |1101 |01:32:34 ~-~-> 01:32:38 |you have a toxic day, that's a day you don't trade. But that's
1103 |1102 |01:32:40 ~-~-> 01:32:45 |not what you want to hear. ICT, I don't give a shit what you say. I need to feel
1104 |1103 |01:32:45 ~-~-> 01:32:51 |good. You ever see the movie monster ball? Halle Berry, Billy, Bob Thorn,
1105 |1104 |01:32:52 ~-~-> 01:32:56 |there's a scene in there where she's lit and she's trying to basically be
1106 |1105 |01:32:56 ~-~-> 01:33:00 |intimate, because she just needs to feel good. And that's exactly what she says
1107 |1106 |01:33:00 ~-~-> 01:33:03 |in the script. Come on. I want to feel good. I want to she's crying to you, I
1108 |1107 |01:33:03 ~-~-> 01:33:10 |want to feel good. That's exactly what all of you are doing inside. And you're
1109 |1108 |01:33:10 ~-~-> 01:33:17 |hoping that trading making money is going to fill that. I can tell you, it
1110 |1109 |01:33:17 ~-~-> 01:33:27 |doesn't. It doesn't every successful, consistently profitable trader, if
1111 |1110 |01:33:27 ~-~-> 01:33:32 |they're absolutely 100% honest, that's not where their sense of fulfillment
1112 |1111 |01:33:32 ~-~-> 01:33:40 |comes from. It comes from the the fact that they have a model that they trust,
1113 |1112 |01:33:40 ~-~-> 01:33:44 |that they refined, that they work towards, that they guarded, that they
1114 |1113 |01:33:44 ~-~-> 01:33:50 |had faith in that faith grew over time, and they journaled their progress and
1115 |1114 |01:33:50 ~-~-> 01:33:54 |they refined it, where they are never tinkering with it. That means they're
1116 |1115 |01:33:54 ~-~-> 01:33:58 |never trying to add something or take away something. They're content with
1117 |1116 |01:33:58 ~-~-> 01:34:03 |that, and that is a sense of mindset that you can't put a price tag on that
1118 |1117 |01:34:05 ~-~-> 01:34:10 |your job's not guaranteed. You're going to be there five years from now. You're
1119 |1118 |01:34:10 ~-~-> 01:34:19 |not guaranteed to be here tomorrow. Your profitable trade isn't guaranteed in
1120 |1119 |01:34:19 ~-~-> 01:34:22 |your next transaction and you're clicking on the button, it's not
1121 |1120 |01:34:22 ~-~-> 01:34:27 |guaranteed. But the folks that have a sound model that they've worked and
1122 |1121 |01:34:27 ~-~-> 01:34:32 |refined, they don't obsess about that. They understand that every trade is a
1123 |1122 |01:34:32 ~-~-> 01:34:39 |losing trade, that their skill set, that their faith based model, that they have
1124 |1123 |01:34:39 ~-~-> 01:34:44 |groomed, and they've isolated to this is all I'm going to look for. This is all
1125 |1124 |01:34:44 ~-~-> 01:34:48 |I'm worried about. This is the time I'm focusing on trading. I'm not in your
1126 |1125 |01:34:48 ~-~-> 01:34:53 |every, all day long, trading. Again, that's somebody that the fuck they're
1127 |1126 |01:34:53 ~-~-> 01:35:00 |talking about, okay, you're inviting the rate of failure, exponentially. You. Get
1128 |1127 |01:35:00 ~-~-> 01:35:03 |in there more than you should when you don't know what the hell you're doing
1129 |1128 |01:35:04 ~-~-> 01:35:15 |wrong. Surgeons, doctors, they're specialists. Everybody that goes through
1130 |1129 |01:35:15 ~-~-> 01:35:21 |med school are not proctologists, but in trading everybody on social media is a
1131 |1130 |01:35:21 ~-~-> 01:35:23 |fucking proctologist. They got their face. Proctologist. They got their
1132 |1131 |01:35:23 ~-~-> 01:35:26 |finger and everybody's asked sniffing, what did you have for lunch? They're in
1133 |1132 |01:35:26 ~-~-> 01:35:32 |everybody's fucking business. Surgeons, their brain surgeons, their heart
1134 |1133 |01:35:32 ~-~-> 01:35:40 |surgeons, they're orthopaed orthopedic surgeons. They specialize. They went
1135 |1134 |01:35:40 ~-~-> 01:35:44 |through the same schooling, but then branched off and said, This is what I'm
1136 |1135 |01:35:44 ~-~-> 01:35:51 |doing. What did they do? What did they do? Do you think that they were fucking
1137 |1136 |01:35:51 ~-~-> 01:35:58 |journaling and studying feet? If they're going to be a brain surgeon, they want
1138 |1137 |01:35:58 ~-~-> 01:36:02 |to know everything about the foot, and that'd be the nerve endings of a foot,
1139 |1138 |01:36:02 ~-~-> 01:36:11 |when they're studying the brain or the heart or any other a gastric surgeon,
1140 |1139 |01:36:14 ~-~-> 01:36:22 |no, they've reduced their focus In on one specific task. Their model as a
1141 |1140 |01:36:22 ~-~-> 01:36:27 |surgeon is that they have to know exactly how they're going to cut and
1142 |1141 |01:36:27 ~-~-> 01:36:34 |engage the human body for the purposes of helping this particular part of the
1143 |1142 |01:36:34 ~-~-> 01:36:43 |human body heal. The outcome is, if that trade, if we want to personify it that
1144 |1143 |01:36:43 ~-~-> 01:36:48 |way, it's profitable if the patient is improved and gets to live longer in a
1145 |1144 |01:36:48 ~-~-> 01:36:54 |more fulfilling life, and the ailment they came in to have addressed gets
1146 |1145 |01:36:54 ~-~-> 01:37:00 |corrected by the surgeon's model being applied to that body. We don't go to a
1147 |1146 |01:37:00 ~-~-> 01:37:05 |general practitioner when we need surgery. We may need to get to initially
1148 |1147 |01:37:05 ~-~-> 01:37:10 |get a recommendation, like here, here, I'm going to recommend you go to this
1149 |1148 |01:37:10 ~-~-> 01:37:15 |surgeon here, but they're not doing the cutting. They're doing a genuine
1150 |1149 |01:37:15 ~-~-> 01:37:23 |evaluation. We don't need that here. As a trader, you're that, you're the CEO,
1151 |1150 |01:37:23 ~-~-> 01:37:27 |you're the CFO, you're the person that gets fired when you blow the account.
1152 |1151 |01:37:27 ~-~-> 01:37:32 |You're the person who has to do fundraising to start it up again. It's
1153 |1152 |01:37:32 ~-~-> 01:37:37 |everything you incorporated. That's what this is. And you're saying that you're
1154 |1153 |01:37:37 ~-~-> 01:37:43 |not interested in journaling when every corporate enterprise has some measure of
1155 |1154 |01:37:43 ~-~-> 01:37:48 |doing that same KPI measurement, KPIs, their performance measurements, how well
1156 |1155 |01:37:48 ~-~-> 01:37:53 |you're performing, what's your output? What's the results of those output? And
1157 |1156 |01:37:54 ~-~-> 01:37:58 |if you don't do that with yourself, the enterprise that you daydream about
1158 |1157 |01:37:58 ~-~-> 01:38:03 |yourself being this super rock star, rider on a Lear jets, driving cars that
1159 |1158 |01:38:03 ~-~-> 01:38:08 |are too expensive. Oil chains cost too much, and nobody gives a shit after two
1160 |1159 |01:38:08 ~-~-> 01:38:15 |days looking at it. Oh yeah, who cares? You're expecting people to love you
1161 |1160 |01:38:15 ~-~-> 01:38:19 |because you have something that they can't afford. How long do you think that
1162 |1161 |01:38:19 ~-~-> 01:38:22 |lasts? It doesn't last long, then there's animosity. So you're inviting
1163 |1162 |01:38:22 ~-~-> 01:38:28 |the opposite. You're inviting it, you're inviting all the wrong things, versus
1164 |1163 |01:38:29 ~-~-> 01:38:34 |you don't ever wear your wealth on your sleeve. You're content with how you live
1165 |1164 |01:38:34 ~-~-> 01:38:41 |a simple life. If anybody looks at me on the outside, they would never know that
1166 |1165 |01:38:41 ~-~-> 01:38:45 |I live in a fluent lifestyle. They would never know it. I don't want people,
1167 |1166 |01:38:45 ~-~-> 01:38:50 |especially today. I don't want to be out in public wearing a $45,000 watch
1168 |1167 |01:38:50 ~-~-> 01:38:54 |anymore. I don't want to do that. It busted outside the head. I can't look at
1169 |1168 |01:38:54 ~-~-> 01:38:57 |every minute around my surroundings. Someone's going to ask me a question.
1170 |1169 |01:38:57 ~-~-> 01:39:00 |I'm going to do something, I'm going to reach for a door, and I get busted in
1171 |1170 |01:39:00 ~-~-> 01:39:04 |the head, and the head, and the $40,000 watch is now theirs. But you see these
1172 |1171 |01:39:04 ~-~-> 01:39:10 |20 year olds out there, and they're doing all this flashy stuff, and things
1173 |1172 |01:39:10 ~-~-> 01:39:15 |are getting hard, and what are they doing? They're inviting the mindset that
1174 |1173 |01:39:15 ~-~-> 01:39:17 |says, You know what? I can't get
1175 |1174 |01:39:17 ~-~-> 01:39:23 |what you have doing, what you do not then that pisses me off. So I'm going to
1176 |1175 |01:39:23 ~-~-> 01:39:25 |find out where you are
1177 |1176 |01:39:26 ~-~-> 01:39:31 |and take something off of you. You don't realize that, young man, but that's
1178 |1177 |01:39:31 ~-~-> 01:39:34 |exactly what you're doing in this world today. That's exactly what you're asking
1179 |1178 |01:39:34 ~-~-> 01:39:41 |for driving around in cars asking to get the shit lifted off of you because you
1180 |1179 |01:39:41 ~-~-> 01:39:46 |want to look good. You want to measure your success based on other people's
1181 |1180 |01:39:46 ~-~-> 01:39:50 |opinion, how often they mention you on social media. They're always talking
1182 |1181 |01:39:50 ~-~-> 01:39:56 |about me, and that's stupid. It's uncomfortable. I don't like it. I just
1183 |1182 |01:39:56 ~-~-> 01:39:59 |want to be like everybody else. That's all I want, and I can't be that.
1184 |1183 |01:40:00 ~-~-> 01:40:04 |Anymore. It bothers me. You want to believe that I love being looked up to
1185 |1184 |01:40:04 ~-~-> 01:40:07 |in worship. I don't want to be worshiped. I just want people to say,
1186 |1185 |01:40:07 ~-~-> 01:40:12 |Hey, what's up? Michael, how you been that's it. I don't want to be looked at
1187 |1186 |01:40:12 ~-~-> 01:40:18 |that, and I won't let anybody look down. That's how I carry myself. I live my
1188 |1187 |01:40:18 ~-~-> 01:40:25 |life just like that. And some of you are doing this, trying to refine your future
1189 |1188 |01:40:25 ~-~-> 01:40:29 |self, so that way you can be some kind of character online, some kind of
1190 |1189 |01:40:29 ~-~-> 01:40:34 |influence or some kind of celebrity, and you might be, and you might do things
1191 |1190 |01:40:34 ~-~-> 01:40:37 |differently. You might be, you know, well, rounded down to earth person.
1192 |1191 |01:40:37 ~-~-> 01:40:41 |That'd be great. I'd be very wholesome thing to see. I would be a fan of that.
1193 |1192 |01:40:43 ~-~-> 01:40:48 |That's what I'm trying to cultivate. But don't let it get twisted. That same
1194 |1193 |01:40:48 ~-~-> 01:40:53 |person is still going to have confidence through the roof. And if they're honest,
1195 |1194 |01:40:53 ~-~-> 01:40:55 |and they're asked, Hey, how do you feel about trading this that you ever have
1196 |1195 |01:40:55 ~-~-> 01:41:03 |any anxiety about trading? No, no, there isn't a trading day out there that I
1197 |1196 |01:41:03 ~-~-> 01:41:07 |can't walk out there and say I'm going to take this and I'm leaving with it,
1198 |1197 |01:41:07 ~-~-> 01:41:12 |and you can't fucking stop me. Now, think about that. That sounds unheard
1199 |1198 |01:41:12 ~-~-> 01:41:19 |of, right? But I'm demonstrating that in live streams. I'm showing you where it's
1200 |1199 |01:41:19 ~-~-> 01:41:25 |going to go to, and that's the beginning building blocks. But if you take these
1201 |1200 |01:41:25 ~-~-> 01:41:30 |case studies where you simply watch price action, and you don't know in your
1202 |1201 |01:41:30 ~-~-> 01:41:34 |present state, if you just began how to learn how to do this stuff, you don't
1203 |1202 |01:41:34 ~-~-> 01:41:38 |know where it's going. You're guessing at everything that's going on, and
1204 |1203 |01:41:38 ~-~-> 01:41:43 |you're trying to apply an indicator or somebody else's logic while I'm talking
1205 |1204 |01:41:43 ~-~-> 01:41:49 |about what price is going to do and what I'm telling you doing it's doing it, and
1206 |1205 |01:41:49 ~-~-> 01:41:55 |you're not retaining anything except for I didn't get anything from this. When I
1207 |1206 |01:41:55 ~-~-> 01:41:59 |see comments and I leave a post on my community, post on my YouTube channel, I
1208 |1207 |01:41:59 ~-~-> 01:42:02 |say, what did you learn in this live stream? I usually got about three or
1209 |1208 |01:42:02 ~-~-> 01:42:06 |four people to say nothing, and I blocked them. I'll never see their
1210 |1209 |01:42:06 ~-~-> 01:42:09 |comments again, because that's a fucking idiot. Okay, if you ever left that I
1211 |1210 |01:42:09 ~-~-> 01:42:12 |want you to I'm calling you an idiot. You're a fucking idiot because I'm
1212 |1211 |01:42:12 ~-~-> 01:42:17 |laying down things that, if you're paying attention, they repeat every day.
1213 |1212 |01:42:19 ~-~-> 01:42:24 |So to me, you're a joke. Anybody that says that they're not getting anything
1214 |1213 |01:42:24 ~-~-> 01:42:31 |from it simply is an idiot, or you're just a hateful piece of shit that has
1215 |1214 |01:42:32 ~-~-> 01:42:36 |all of this attention placed on what I'm teaching in my in our community, and
1216 |1215 |01:42:36 ~-~-> 01:42:41 |it's overshadowing you, and you're just trying to poke and be vindictive, and
1217 |1216 |01:42:41 ~-~-> 01:42:43 |it's sad. You don't need to do that stuff. You're not going to change me.
1218 |1217 |01:42:43 ~-~-> 01:42:47 |You're not going to stop other people from wanting to learn this. It's the
1219 |1218 |01:42:47 ~-~-> 01:42:52 |cat's out of the bag. It's a it's a phenomenon. It's global. And all I want
1220 |1219 |01:42:52 ~-~-> 01:42:55 |to do is ask your permission, collectively as a community is just let
1221 |1220 |01:42:55 ~-~-> 01:42:59 |me step down like a CEO. I don't want to, I don't want to be the face. I just
1222 |1221 |01:42:59 ~-~-> 01:43:03 |want to just, hey, look, you know, I'm thankful that Michael released this
1223 |1222 |01:43:03 ~-~-> 01:43:07 |stuff, but stop trying to make me a celebrity all the time. I don't want
1224 |1223 |01:43:07 ~-~-> 01:43:12 |that. I do want to see who comes up out of all this, and I want to see them,
1225 |1224 |01:43:12 ~-~-> 01:43:18 |whether it be male or female, to do it better than I did. You know that means
1226 |1225 |01:43:18 ~-~-> 01:43:24 |don't have, don't have all these chest ups to other people. I do it for fun. I
1227 |1226 |01:43:24 ~-~-> 01:43:30 |do I did it for marketing initially, because I it was all upside for me. You
1228 |1227 |01:43:30 ~-~-> 01:43:35 |know, I I simply wanted to go out there and draw a crowd. I knew either one I
1229 |1228 |01:43:35 ~-~-> 01:43:39 |would be entertained by it, or the social experiment that I started on baby
1230 |1229 |01:43:39 ~-~-> 01:43:43 |pips was going to produce something. And while I do have students that are
1231 |1230 |01:43:43 ~-~-> 01:43:48 |profitable, I don't have an ICT 2.0 and that's what I wanted to see. Because the
1232 |1231 |01:43:48 ~-~-> 01:43:52 |things I taught initially, the old stuff, where I was talking about
1233 |1232 |01:43:52 ~-~-> 01:43:56 |support, resistance, when I was talking about indicators and MACD and this and
1234 |1233 |01:43:56 ~-~-> 01:44:01 |stuff, that's exactly how I started. So I was producing the same climate, the
1235 |1234 |01:44:01 ~-~-> 01:44:06 |same environment, in the same order that I went through to see if I could create
1236 |1235 |01:44:06 ~-~-> 01:44:13 |that same magic that happened at who I am today. And it was unfortunate that I
1237 |1236 |01:44:13 ~-~-> 01:44:17 |was hoping it was going to happen, but nothing happened like that. I have
1238 |1237 |01:44:17 ~-~-> 01:44:21 |profitable students. I have wildly profitable students, but I don't have an
1239 |1238 |01:44:21 ~-~-> 01:44:27 |ICT 2.0 and I'm hoping that Caleb will allow me, if he listens to me, he'll
1240 |1239 |01:44:27 ~-~-> 01:44:31 |have the greatest advantage of doing it. But there's no guarantee. Everybody has
1241 |1240 |01:44:31 ~-~-> 01:44:34 |their own problems that they have to wrestle with. I don't know. I'm not
1242 |1241 |01:44:34 ~-~-> 01:44:40 |inside my son's head. I don't know if he's going to have he's had a bout of
1243 |1242 |01:44:40 ~-~-> 01:44:45 |anxiety one time when he had a job at I don't know where he was, but he he
1244 |1243 |01:44:45 ~-~-> 01:44:49 |clammed up, just couldn't function, and they had to send him home. It was just
1245 |1244 |01:44:49 ~-~-> 01:44:55 |simply an anxiety attack, but you don't want to go into the marketplace looking
1246 |1245 |01:44:55 ~-~-> 01:45:00 |for a feel good replacement for generalized stress. Generalized
1247 |1246 |01:45:00 ~-~-> 01:45:05 |stresses. You had a rough day at work, you got a flat tire. You had to blow out
1248 |1247 |01:45:05 ~-~-> 01:45:12 |in your relationship, a fight. You hurt yourself, you got sick. All these things
1249 |1248 |01:45:12 ~-~-> 01:45:16 |are triggering. They they make you want to do something other than what you're
1250 |1249 |01:45:16 ~-~-> 01:45:21 |feeling at that moment. Men are usually very, very quick to jump in here. And I
1251 |1250 |01:45:21 ~-~-> 01:45:26 |need to, I need to feel good about something. And our, our currency in the
1252 |1251 |01:45:26 ~-~-> 01:45:32 |world, we think is I gotta look stronger. I gotta look faster and more
1253 |1252 |01:45:32 ~-~-> 01:45:37 |formidable and scary to the rest of the guys. I gotta be intimidating. No, you
1254 |1253 |01:45:37 ~-~-> 01:45:44 |don't. No, you don't. I watched some joker leave a post when I had put the
1255 |1254 |01:45:45 ~-~-> 01:45:48 |invitation to come to this Twitter space, they said, somebody find that
1256 |1255 |01:45:48 ~-~-> 01:45:52 |video where he said he's never going to do another Twitter space, and he was
1257 |1256 |01:45:52 ~-~-> 01:45:56 |crying. I love the fact that your little dick energy thinks that that's some kind
1258 |1257 |01:45:56 ~-~-> 01:46:01 |of a fucking character flaw. I ain't seen anybody else out there that was
1259 |1258 |01:46:01 ~-~-> 01:46:05 |open enough to show their real emotions, because I've went through shit that
1260 |1259 |01:46:05 ~-~-> 01:46:09 |would break your fucking bitch ass. You would never be able to go through what I
1261 |1260 |01:46:09 ~-~-> 01:46:14 |went through. So put up them videos. The only thing that's gonna do is show
1262 |1261 |01:46:14 ~-~-> 01:46:19 |people that I give a fuck. I give a fuck. I know I hear panhandlings. Buy my
1263 |1262 |01:46:19 ~-~-> 01:46:25 |$200 course, buy my 300 fucking course. Repackage this. Repackage that I'm
1264 |1263 |01:46:25 ~-~-> 01:46:33 |laying down a life time of wisdom for free, and I already know it works, and I
1265 |1264 |01:46:33 ~-~-> 01:46:37 |have students all around the world that are using it and it's helping them, and
1266 |1265 |01:46:37 ~-~-> 01:46:42 |they're going to learn how to balance themselves better today, how to focus on
1267 |1266 |01:46:42 ~-~-> 01:46:49 |things and not try to use the economy of replacement. Approach of taking a bad
1268 |1267 |01:46:49 ~-~-> 01:46:55 |day, feeling anxiety, feeling sick, I had a bad day at work, or I didn't get
1269 |1268 |01:46:55 ~-~-> 01:47:00 |the promotion I was expecting something that just doesn't give you a feel good.
1270 |1269 |01:47:02 ~-~-> 01:47:08 |Well, sense of accomplishment. Men will go into the trading account and try to
1271 |1270 |01:47:08 ~-~-> 01:47:14 |do this and replace it with winning money. And it need only be 100 bucks.
1272 |1271 |01:47:14 ~-~-> 01:47:18 |Hey, it's 100 bucks. I feel better today. I need 100 bucks. I can go out
1273 |1272 |01:47:18 ~-~-> 01:47:23 |there and I can make $100 that's better than walking down the street and finding
1274 |1273 |01:47:23 ~-~-> 01:47:26 |$100 bill on the front of you, right? I mean, who's who's gonna look at the $100
1275 |1274 |01:47:26 ~-~-> 01:47:33 |say, Man, you ain't picking you up. But in men's eyes, we think that, hey, I
1276 |1275 |01:47:33 ~-~-> 01:47:38 |know how to trade. And yes, I hate my fucking job, and yes, my girlfriend's
1277 |1276 |01:47:38 ~-~-> 01:47:41 |mad at me because I didn't remember our birthday as a relationship. You know,
1278 |1277 |01:47:41 ~-~-> 01:47:48 |our anniversary, whatever it is, we call it, men try to find a way to anchor your
1279 |1278 |01:47:48 ~-~-> 01:47:51 |marriage on a day that you will never forget. That's why I chose Valentine's
1280 |1279 |01:47:51 ~-~-> 01:47:59 |Day. I know it's cliche. I know it's kind of like boring, but guess what? I
1281 |1280 |01:47:59 ~-~-> 01:48:03 |generally don't do well with remembering dates. Like I love my kids, but
1282 |1281 |01:48:03 ~-~-> 01:48:07 |sometimes I have to ask my wife when were they born, and she gets mad if I
1283 |1282 |01:48:07 ~-~-> 01:48:12 |don't either wait or with time. Women will never forget that shit, but that's
1284 |1283 |01:48:12 ~-~-> 01:48:16 |why they're help meets for us. They have that, that capacity where we are to go
1285 |1284 |01:48:16 ~-~-> 01:48:20 |out and get and they are the stay home and keep and that's why they're better
1286 |1285 |01:48:20 ~-~-> 01:48:28 |traders. You don't want to change that composition as a female. And there's
1287 |1286 |01:48:28 ~-~-> 01:48:31 |something out there. Think that there's more than, you know, two sexes, and
1288 |1287 |01:48:31 ~-~-> 01:48:34 |don't leave me the bullshit, because I'm just gonna block you. I haven't blocked
1289 |1288 |01:48:34 ~-~-> 01:48:37 |anybody since I've been back here, but if you give me that bullshit, woke
1290 |1289 |01:48:37 ~-~-> 01:48:40 |stuff, I'm blocking I don't give a fuck what you think. Okay, but there's a male
1291 |1290 |01:48:40 ~-~-> 01:48:45 |and there's a female, and in trading, the females are better traders, because
1292 |1291 |01:48:45 ~-~-> 01:48:51 |if they have that nesting approach as they are as women, they don't take crazy
1293 |1292 |01:48:51 ~-~-> 01:48:56 |risks. They want to keep what they have, and if they can get more, they're
1294 |1293 |01:48:56 ~-~-> 01:49:02 |trusting their other half to do that. That's the relationship. That's what's
1295 |1294 |01:49:02 ~-~-> 01:49:07 |been torn down. Men. We think that we have to be fucking Superman and we got
1296 |1295 |01:49:07 ~-~-> 01:49:10 |to go out and do more than what's necessary. And you bring that same
1297 |1296 |01:49:10 ~-~-> 01:49:12 |misguided logic to your trading.
1298 |1297 |01:49:13 ~-~-> 01:49:18 |I gotta do more than this other guy did. I gotta do more than I did yesterday, or
1299 |1298 |01:49:18 ~-~-> 01:49:22 |I'm not progressing. I gotta replace this bad feeling. I'm gonna probably get
1300 |1299 |01:49:22 ~-~-> 01:49:26 |canned. I'm probably gonna get fired. My girlfriend saw this other guy's car. We
1301 |1300 |01:49:26 ~-~-> 01:49:29 |were out in a date, and I kept watching. She was looking at his car. She'd
1302 |1301 |01:49:29 ~-~-> 01:49:32 |probably go out with him if he gave her the time of day. I gotta really, really
1303 |1302 |01:49:32 ~-~-> 01:49:37 |do well. I gotta do fail. I gotta impress her. If you feel that way about
1304 |1303 |01:49:37 ~-~-> 01:49:45 |that woman or that meme, you're probably with the wrong person, because if
1305 |1304 |01:49:45 ~-~-> 01:49:51 |they're not constantly telling you, you know what, I am happy that I have you
1306 |1305 |01:49:52 ~-~-> 01:49:55 |and you don't need to do all these other things, because the time you spend with
1307 |1306 |01:49:55 ~-~-> 01:50:01 |me, I feel fulfilled doing that. Gentlemen, ladies. Is, if you find that
1308 |1307 |01:50:02 ~-~-> 01:50:09 |you are rich, you will have the fertile ground that builds a legacy of wealth,
1309 |1308 |01:50:09 ~-~-> 01:50:13 |because chances are, they're not going to want to leave you. They're already
1310 |1309 |01:50:13 ~-~-> 01:50:18 |with you, and you have nothing. And if you build this up in front of them, and
1311 |1310 |01:50:18 ~-~-> 01:50:21 |you allow them to be a source of encouragement, not in the way that we
1312 |1311 |01:50:21 ~-~-> 01:50:24 |were talking about earlier. Hey, this is what I think I'm going to do, and you
1313 |1312 |01:50:24 ~-~-> 01:50:27 |expect them to encourage you. They're not going to see technical analysis.
1314 |1313 |01:50:27 ~-~-> 01:50:32 |They're not going to see trading and speculation, any losing trade a female
1315 |1314 |01:50:32 ~-~-> 01:50:37 |is going to be like, is this the beginning of financial turmoil? Because
1316 |1315 |01:50:37 ~-~-> 01:50:44 |they're nesting. Their their capacity as a human is to protect what is theirs.
1317 |1316 |01:50:44 ~-~-> 01:50:47 |They don't want to upset the household. They don't want to upset the family
1318 |1317 |01:50:47 ~-~-> 01:50:51 |element. They want to keep peace. Men. We get out there and we try to tear shit
1319 |1318 |01:50:51 ~-~-> 01:50:54 |up because we feel like we got to be Godzilla, stomp down on everything.
1320 |1319 |01:50:54 ~-~-> 01:50:59 |Don't fuck with me and my family. That's, that's, that's the way it is.
1321 |1320 |01:51:00 ~-~-> 01:51:03 |And we can laugh about it, and we can look and say, Oh, this is stupid. This
1322 |1321 |01:51:03 ~-~-> 01:51:08 |guy's giving dumb analogies. But this is the facts. Women are better because they
1323 |1322 |01:51:08 ~-~-> 01:51:13 |think that way. How do they mess up when they try to be a man, when they try to
1324 |1323 |01:51:13 ~-~-> 01:51:20 |do things like a man, go out there and do more than that's necessary, compete,
1325 |1324 |01:51:20 ~-~-> 01:51:26 |be competitive. I want to do better than this, so and so. And there's some toxic
1326 |1325 |01:51:26 ~-~-> 01:51:31 |females on social media. You think they had a penis, bigger sack than most men
1327 |1326 |01:51:31 ~-~-> 01:51:38 |walking around talking bullshit, more foul mouth than I am. Sometimes they're
1328 |1327 |01:51:38 ~-~-> 01:51:42 |compensating. They're compensating. And some of them, if I could be honest, and
1329 |1328 |01:51:42 ~-~-> 01:51:45 |you give me the liberty to be able to say so, some of them are actually very
1330 |1329 |01:51:45 ~-~-> 01:51:48 |attractive. And you would think, why would you even act the way you're
1331 |1330 |01:51:48 ~-~-> 01:51:52 |acting, like you're literally a beautiful person on the outside, but
1332 |1331 |01:51:52 ~-~-> 01:51:55 |you're ugly as fuck in the inside, and you're producing that through the things
1333 |1332 |01:51:55 ~-~-> 01:52:04 |you you speak and how you behave. So all these things are outside influences that
1334 |1333 |01:52:04 ~-~-> 01:52:09 |are going to cause you to derail yourself, but you won't recognize them
1335 |1334 |01:52:09 ~-~-> 01:52:13 |unless you journal them. When you place a microscope over every decision you're
1336 |1335 |01:52:13 ~-~-> 01:52:20 |making and every thought that you have, when you have these things under the
1337 |1336 |01:52:20 ~-~-> 01:52:24 |microscope of a journal, and you constantly encourage yourself through
1338 |1337 |01:52:24 ~-~-> 01:52:28 |positive self talk. That means, if there is something that happened, bad, that
1339 |1338 |01:52:28 ~-~-> 01:52:32 |was an adverse response to something you did, or indirectly, didn't do at all, it
1340 |1339 |01:52:32 ~-~-> 01:52:37 |just happened to you, like a car accident. You didn't want this truck to
1341 |1340 |01:52:37 ~-~-> 01:52:40 |hit you, but you couldn't avoid it. You were sitting at a red light, and they
1342 |1341 |01:52:40 ~-~-> 01:52:44 |hit you, and that's a bad day. That sucks, but you couldn't have done
1343 |1342 |01:52:44 ~-~-> 01:52:49 |nothing to avoid it. That's manual intervention. That's the same thing
1344 |1343 |01:52:49 ~-~-> 01:52:52 |happens when you're in a trade. Everything looks like it's there, and
1345 |1344 |01:52:52 ~-~-> 01:52:57 |then bam, what the hell this happened? Well, you got a taste of it. Does that
1346 |1345 |01:52:57 ~-~-> 01:53:02 |mean trading? Throw it out the window? No. It just means that that's why you
1347 |1346 |01:53:02 ~-~-> 01:53:09 |have to have a stop loss. That's why you shouldn't over leverage period. Now
1348 |1347 |01:53:10 ~-~-> 01:53:15 |how's that for logic, versus going out there having no idea what's going on,
1349 |1348 |01:53:15 ~-~-> 01:53:18 |putting money into an account to discover that you don't know how to
1350 |1349 |01:53:18 ~-~-> 01:53:22 |trade, and now you have compounded difficulty because you lost your $100
1351 |1350 |01:53:23 ~-~-> 01:53:27 |account. Because you have to learn with real money if you want to spend 100
1352 |1351 |01:53:27 ~-~-> 01:53:32 |hours so badly, go out there, drive around town and find somebody that
1353 |1352 |01:53:32 ~-~-> 01:53:35 |homeless and stick that $100 bill in their fucking hand and say, You know
1354 |1353 |01:53:35 ~-~-> 01:53:40 |what, have a good day. Have a good day and get something to eat, because you're
1355 |1354 |01:53:40 ~-~-> 01:53:43 |going to have a better feeling about that than you losing that $100
1356 |1355 |01:53:43 ~-~-> 01:53:47 |discovering that you just gambled it away and you created scar tissue as a
1357 |1356 |01:53:48 ~-~-> 01:53:52 |developing student and as a trader, you now have to now go through the process
1358 |1357 |01:53:52 ~-~-> 01:53:59 |of digging through that painful I got bad experience now I have adverse
1359 |1358 |01:53:59 ~-~-> 01:54:02 |response to Me take making these decisions with real money, and yes, it
1360 |1359 |01:54:02 ~-~-> 01:54:06 |was $100 and when I put it in the account, I knew if I lost it shouldn't
1361 |1360 |01:54:06 ~-~-> 01:54:10 |have bothered me. Guess what? When it goes down to $25 if it goes down to 50
1362 |1361 |01:54:10 ~-~-> 01:54:14 |bucks, you're fucking sick to your stomach. I should have never did this.
1363 |1362 |01:54:14 ~-~-> 01:54:17 |I'm mad. I gotta get it back. And what have you done? You evolved into a
1364 |1363 |01:54:17 ~-~-> 01:54:24 |gambler, and you're trying to do what replace negative with a victory that's
1365 |1364 |01:54:24 ~-~-> 01:54:30 |not assured to you, and you're doing it with a clouded mind. You're doing it
1366 |1365 |01:54:30 ~-~-> 01:54:35 |under stress. You have no idea how to calm yourself down. You have no idea to
1367 |1366 |01:54:35 ~-~-> 01:54:40 |come out of that negative, toxic thought that you have to have it back right now.
1368 |1367 |01:54:40 ~-~-> 01:54:46 |Why? Why do you need to have that loss back right now? Because you think that
1369 |1368 |01:54:46 ~-~-> 01:54:51 |you are less of a person, less of a trail trader, you're a failure as a
1370 |1369 |01:54:51 ~-~-> 01:54:55 |trader if you can't get it back right away. And that is Grade A bullshit.
1371 |1370 |01:54:57 ~-~-> 01:55:02 |That's bullshit. Who told you that you. Who told you that you have to win that
1372 |1371 |01:55:02 ~-~-> 01:55:08 |back right now because you just lost it? Nobody, but it's in your fucking head.
1373 |1372 |01:55:09 ~-~-> 01:55:12 |It's in your head that you think that that's exactly what every profitable
1374 |1373 |01:55:12 ~-~-> 01:55:16 |trader can do. They take a losing trade and they get it back real quickly for
1375 |1374 |01:55:16 ~-~-> 01:55:22 |the end of the day. That is bullshit. That's not how it works. That's how you
1376 |1375 |01:55:22 ~-~-> 01:55:28 |go on tilt. That's how you blow your accounts. That's how every time I blow
1377 |1376 |01:55:28 ~-~-> 01:55:31 |an account, that's exactly how it happened. I gotta fix this. I feel less
1378 |1377 |01:55:31 ~-~-> 01:55:37 |of a man, I feel less of a trader, I don't feel profitable, I don't feel
1379 |1378 |01:55:37 ~-~-> 01:55:42 |capable. I'm not going to be successful unless I can do this, get it right back
1380 |1379 |01:55:42 ~-~-> 01:55:47 |the same day, I gotta do this, or I can't be successful. This will define my
1381 |1380 |01:55:47 ~-~-> 01:55:52 |ability to be successful or not. If I can't get that loss back right now, I
1382 |1381 |01:55:52 ~-~-> 01:55:56 |can't be successful. That's exactly what you're lying to yourself with. You're
1383 |1382 |01:55:56 ~-~-> 01:56:01 |lying to yourself with that and you believe the bullshit. You're believing
1384 |1383 |01:56:01 ~-~-> 01:56:07 |it and that is causing scar tissue. You have no idea how much harder you're
1385 |1384 |01:56:07 ~-~-> 01:56:12 |making it when you place these times of constraints on yourself. You're placing
1386 |1385 |01:56:12 ~-~-> 01:56:17 |much more workload on your back than is necessary to be a traitor. You have no
1387 |1386 |01:56:17 ~-~-> 01:56:18 |reason to think that way,
1388 |1387 |01:56:19 ~-~-> 01:56:24 |zero, but it feels right when you're doing it, and it's the wrong
1389 |1388 |01:56:24 ~-~-> 01:56:25 |perspective,
1390 |1389 |01:56:31 ~-~-> 01:56:35 |when you're learning and you do things wrong, and it's an adverse reaction and
1391 |1390 |01:56:35 ~-~-> 01:56:44 |response. You take it home. You take it home like an orphan, like a straight
1392 |1391 |01:56:44 ~-~-> 01:56:52 |dog, and you nurture it so you know what? It didn't work out well today, you
1393 |1392 |01:56:52 ~-~-> 01:56:57 |look hungry. You need to be gay, you need to be nurtured a little bit. And
1394 |1393 |01:56:57 ~-~-> 01:57:02 |you talk positive to it. Say, You know what? I'm going to use you to feel good
1395 |1394 |01:57:02 ~-~-> 01:57:07 |by doing the right things. Not feel good by taking chances and gambling to fix
1396 |1395 |01:57:07 ~-~-> 01:57:13 |you as a trade. I'm going to go home and teach myself that you aren't going to
1397 |1396 |01:57:13 ~-~-> 01:57:18 |take me out. You're not going to break me if I have to feed you stray animal I
1398 |1397 |01:57:18 ~-~-> 01:57:22 |can afford to give you a meal and clean you up and find you a good home or keep
1399 |1398 |01:57:22 ~-~-> 01:57:29 |you as mine. How do you keep a losing trade, doing the right things, not
1400 |1399 |01:57:29 ~-~-> 01:57:33 |emotionally, not psychologically imbalanced and going after I gotta do it
1401 |1400 |01:57:33 ~-~-> 01:57:38 |right now and fix it. You come out of that drawdown with less risk that you
1402 |1401 |01:57:38 ~-~-> 01:57:44 |did when you took the loss. What does that do? Number one, it prevents the
1403 |1402 |01:57:44 ~-~-> 01:57:49 |likelihood of you having this toxic mindset about going in fixing it right
1404 |1403 |01:57:49 ~-~-> 01:57:56 |away. What do you think it feels like when you do it by risking less money and
1405 |1404 |01:57:56 ~-~-> 01:58:02 |you get that loss back? Feels real good, because now, with half the effort, half
1406 |1405 |01:58:02 ~-~-> 01:58:08 |the risk, you can recover and mitigate that loss. How about that? But what
1407 |1406 |01:58:09 ~-~-> 01:58:12 |happens if you take another illusion trade, because maybe you're still scared
1408 |1407 |01:58:12 ~-~-> 01:58:16 |and it's hurt your feelings and hurt your pride, your ego is bruised, you
1409 |1408 |01:58:17 ~-~-> 01:58:20 |have to hurry up and fix it, because someone's going to ask you about your
1410 |1409 |01:58:20 ~-~-> 01:58:27 |results, or worst case scenario, you're making your results public, you have now
1411 |1410 |01:58:27 ~-~-> 01:58:35 |compound the difficulty of trading to unbelievable levels. A lot of people can
1412 |1411 |01:58:35 ~-~-> 01:58:40 |trade under that kind of pressure. It will prevent you from finding success,
1413 |1412 |01:58:40 ~-~-> 01:58:43 |because you're afraid of the outcome for the purposes of having other people's
1414 |1413 |01:58:43 ~-~-> 01:58:49 |opinion placed on you. And a lot of you want that in the beginning. That's dumb,
1415 |1414 |01:58:49 ~-~-> 01:58:54 |that's stupid. But what happens if you go into trying to mitigate that loss
1416 |1415 |01:58:55 ~-~-> 01:58:58 |with half the risk that you put on half the leverage? In other words, say you
1417 |1416 |01:58:58 ~-~-> 01:59:07 |had a one Mini S, P or NASDAQ contract on and you took a 200 hour loss. Okay?
1418 |1417 |01:59:08 ~-~-> 01:59:14 |200 hours is $200 but it's not life ending, right? What happens if you went
1419 |1418 |01:59:14 ~-~-> 01:59:21 |down into micro lots? Say you did a series of trades using micros, two or
1420 |1419 |01:59:21 ~-~-> 01:59:26 |three of them instead of using one mini. So you're trading with anywhere between
1421 |1420 |01:59:26 ~-~-> 01:59:32 |two to $6 per handle movement versus $20 per handle movement in the mini
1422 |1421 |01:59:32 ~-~-> 01:59:40 |contract. But you take that two on our loss back using the smallest amount of
1423 |1422 |01:59:40 ~-~-> 01:59:47 |leverage. Why would you not want to give yourself that historical record that you
1424 |1423 |01:59:47 ~-~-> 01:59:52 |can do that now? That slides in the face of everybody else's perspective. Dude,
1425 |1424 |01:59:52 ~-~-> 01:59:57 |I'm not trying. I'm not trading micro lots. Dude, I'm here trying to make
1426 |1425 |01:59:57 ~-~-> 02:00:00 |money. Okay, are you still working? Well, don't. Ask me about that right
1427 |1426 |02:00:00 ~-~-> 02:00:07 |now. I got time. I just started trading 60 years ago. It falls on its face,
1428 |1427 |02:00:07 ~-~-> 02:00:13 |doesn't it? You want to learn how to make money trade with the least amount
1429 |1428 |02:00:13 ~-~-> 02:00:17 |of money, the smallest leverage. You're going to see that I'm going to be
1430 |1429 |02:00:17 ~-~-> 02:00:24 |pushing the button in the micro contract chart this week, teaching my son. Do
1431 |1430 |02:00:24 ~-~-> 02:00:28 |this. Do this. Do this. Some of you dumb fucks are going to sit there and say,
1432 |1431 |02:00:28 ~-~-> 02:00:32 |Oh, look at this. This trade didn't go here. Look, he sucks. That's not what
1433 |1432 |02:00:32 ~-~-> 02:00:37 |this is about. This is for you to desensitize yourself getting out there.
1434 |1433 |02:00:37 ~-~-> 02:00:41 |Because if you're fearful taking a trade, if you're fearful of missing the
1435 |1434 |02:00:41 ~-~-> 02:00:46 |real fair value gap or the real order block or the real whatever. This is what
1436 |1435 |02:00:46 ~-~-> 02:00:49 |you're supposed to be doing when you're not watching my live streams or watching
1437 |1436 |02:00:49 ~-~-> 02:00:53 |my videos. What are you doing with your demo account? What are you doing
1438 |1437 |02:00:53 ~-~-> 02:00:56 |watching price action? These are the things that you're trying to do. They're
1439 |1438 |02:00:56 ~-~-> 02:01:01 |little laboratory experiments that gives you baseline data that means this is
1440 |1439 |02:01:01 ~-~-> 02:01:06 |what my first Soiree. This is my first attempt in doing this, not knowing much
1441 |1440 |02:01:06 ~-~-> 02:01:10 |about anything, I'm going to do this exercise, and I'm going to do it every
1442 |1441 |02:01:10 ~-~-> 02:01:16 |single day, and in the results of each individual day and across the week, how
1443 |1442 |02:01:16 ~-~-> 02:01:21 |many transactions did you do? What were the net results of it? How many times
1444 |1443 |02:01:21 ~-~-> 02:01:24 |did you see a stop out? How many times did you see it go to Target? How many
1445 |1444 |02:01:24 ~-~-> 02:01:31 |times did it fail, but move halfway to the target? These are all KPIs. These
1446 |1445 |02:01:31 ~-~-> 02:01:36 |are all things that are going to help you build an enterprise mindset about
1447 |1446 |02:01:36 ~-~-> 02:01:39 |your trading. It's not just simply, I got money to put down, and let's pull
1448 |1447 |02:01:39 ~-~-> 02:01:43 |the slot machine arm and see what happens, and then get on social media
1449 |1448 |02:01:43 ~-~-> 02:01:48 |and parade like a dickhead, like, look how smart I am. Dude, I'm a predator.
1450 |1449 |02:01:48 ~-~-> 02:01:55 |I'm a caveman. Look at me. Come at me, bro. I do that as a character. That's
1451 |1450 |02:01:55 ~-~-> 02:01:58 |not, that's not my character in real life, my wife will tell you, my kids
1452 |1451 |02:01:58 ~-~-> 02:02:02 |will tell you, that's, that's, that's not who I am. But I do it because I know
1453 |1452 |02:02:02 ~-~-> 02:02:06 |it causes a lot of ruckus, and people talk, and that's free advertisement,
1454 |1453 |02:02:06 ~-~-> 02:02:09 |because if they're going to talk, that's people's going to come here, and then
1455 |1454 |02:02:09 ~-~-> 02:02:11 |you probably found your way to this Twitter space because someone said
1456 |1455 |02:02:11 ~-~-> 02:02:14 |something about me, and it probably wasn't a positive thing. It's probably
1457 |1456 |02:02:14 ~-~-> 02:02:17 |something, listen, this guy, he's fucking crazy, he's bipolar. He's going
1458 |1457 |02:02:17 ~-~-> 02:02:22 |to swing all over the place. And I use that to hook you, to bring you in here
1459 |1458 |02:02:22 ~-~-> 02:02:26 |to listen, and the people that are smart, they'll take the information and
1460 |1459 |02:02:26 ~-~-> 02:02:32 |use it. Others can go off and fuck off. I don't care. But the point is, you have
1461 |1460 |02:02:32 ~-~-> 02:02:37 |to have some kind of a baseline, and you have to guard yourself and by refining
1462 |1461 |02:02:37 ~-~-> 02:02:42 |your future self, by removing all the toxic stuff, filtering out all the
1463 |1462 |02:02:42 ~-~-> 02:02:45 |bullshit that's going to be made available to you on social media, other
1464 |1463 |02:02:45 ~-~-> 02:02:49 |influencers are going to give you opinions about things. Okay, that's
1465 |1464 |02:02:49 ~-~-> 02:02:54 |their opinion. You didn't ask for it. Did you? Some of you do. Some of you
1466 |1465 |02:02:54 ~-~-> 02:02:58 |actually pay for it. You join other communities and they're badmouth. And
1467 |1466 |02:02:58 ~-~-> 02:03:04 |everybody I badmouth every other trading discipline, okay? Unless I put a
1468 |1467 |02:03:04 ~-~-> 02:03:08 |person's name on it, I'm basically saying that everything you're learning
1469 |1468 |02:03:08 ~-~-> 02:03:12 |that is not what causes markets go up and down. But if you want to lie to
1470 |1469 |02:03:12 ~-~-> 02:03:17 |yourself and say, the last time you had a about of gout or tennis elbow, you
1471 |1470 |02:03:17 ~-~-> 02:03:23 |bought, you know, gold, it went up. That's your religion. Now your model is
1472 |1471 |02:03:23 ~-~-> 02:03:27 |religion based, and that's what harmonic patterns is to me, because you're
1473 |1472 |02:03:27 ~-~-> 02:03:31 |believing something that has no bearing on why price goes up. You're believing
1474 |1473 |02:03:31 ~-~-> 02:03:36 |something so subjective. I don't have subjectivity in my my analysis, because
1475 |1474 |02:03:36 ~-~-> 02:03:41 |old highs have five stops above it. Old lows have sell side below, and there's
1476 |1475 |02:03:41 ~-~-> 02:03:45 |inefficiencies in price. Pray tell. HOW THE FUCK IS THAT? Make Believe? How is
1477 |1476 |02:03:45 ~-~-> 02:03:49 |that in conjecture? You can't deny it. Anybody can look at the chart and see
1478 |1477 |02:03:49 ~-~-> 02:03:55 |that. But tell me which trend line's the right one. Tell me what trend line is
1479 |1478 |02:03:55 ~-~-> 02:04:01 |the right one on any given time frame. That's subjective. What's support and
1480 |1479 |02:04:01 ~-~-> 02:04:04 |resistance level there? Everybody different support and resistance level.
1481 |1480 |02:04:04 ~-~-> 02:04:08 |Everyone's going to come up with it. You get enough sample size of time frames.
1482 |1481 |02:04:08 ~-~-> 02:04:13 |Everybody's going to have something different. But everybody, if they
1483 |1482 |02:04:13 ~-~-> 02:04:16 |understand what a fair value gap is, they're going to point to the same
1484 |1483 |02:04:16 ~-~-> 02:04:22 |fucking candlestick. They're going to look at the same minor buy side, minor
1485 |1484 |02:04:22 ~-~-> 02:04:27 |sell side, and then you have primary sell side by side. That's your dealing
1486 |1485 |02:04:27 ~-~-> 02:04:31 |ranges. They're not up for discussion. They're not up for debate. There's a
1487 |1486 |02:04:31 ~-~-> 02:04:35 |highest time, the lowest, low inside the session. That's it. The previous day's
1488 |1487 |02:04:35 ~-~-> 02:04:40 |high and low. Are they hiding that information from you? No. Previous
1489 |1488 |02:04:40 ~-~-> 02:04:43 |week's high and low. Are they hiding that information? Are they changing it
1490 |1489 |02:04:43 ~-~-> 02:04:46 |like 4x fucking dealers, everybody has a different high and low. Everybody has a
1491 |1490 |02:04:46 ~-~-> 02:04:50 |different settlement price. Speaking of price, you see where NASDAQ closed on
1492 |1491 |02:04:50 ~-~-> 02:04:54 |Friday at the low of that buy side of balance, sell, sound efficiency that we
1493 |1492 |02:04:54 ~-~-> 02:04:58 |were studying. You think that's fucking random? You think that that's just going
1494 |1493 |02:04:58 ~-~-> 02:05:01 |to happen because sellers. Said, Oh, we're not going to go any lower than
1495 |1494 |02:05:03 ~-~-> 02:05:07 |that. Buyer said, I don't want to buy anymore. So then sellers balanced out
1496 |1495 |02:05:07 ~-~-> 02:05:11 |and stopped it right at the low of the buy side of balance sell sign efficiency
1497 |1496 |02:05:11 ~-~-> 02:05:14 |that we were looking at on that live stream, and they said, there's no
1498 |1497 |02:05:14 ~-~-> 02:05:21 |algorithm. Come on. You gotta wake up. The whole world's ran on algorithms. Now
1499 |1498 |02:05:22 ~-~-> 02:05:26 |everything you watch on social media, it's getting piped to you based on what
1500 |1499 |02:05:26 ~-~-> 02:05:31 |you have watched before. They're learning you. They're studying you like
1501 |1500 |02:05:31 ~-~-> 02:05:35 |a candlestick motherfucker. They got you pegged. They know what your high and low
1502 |1501 |02:05:35 ~-~-> 02:05:39 |is, and they know how to run your stops. They know how to get you excited and
1503 |1502 |02:05:39 ~-~-> 02:05:42 |know how to make you spend money. They know how to blow your account. That's
1504 |1503 |02:05:42 ~-~-> 02:05:49 |your bank account. Oh, I was just thinking about that. Fill in the blank,
1505 |1504 |02:05:49 ~-~-> 02:05:52 |because your little device you're listening to me in right now, it's
1506 |1505 |02:05:52 ~-~-> 02:05:57 |listening to you. And every time you talk about something, I'm in the car,
1507 |1506 |02:05:58 ~-~-> 02:06:01 |walking. I'm not walking, driving. I never take my cell phone with me
1508 |1507 |02:06:01 ~-~-> 02:06:05 |anywhere, unless my wife's shopping and then I'm using on social media, blasting
1509 |1508 |02:06:05 ~-~-> 02:06:10 |it. I'm trying to zone out because she's asking me questions. What do you think
1510 |1509 |02:06:10 ~-~-> 02:06:13 |about this? And you think I look good in this? And how about these? Which one you
1511 |1510 |02:06:13 ~-~-> 02:06:16 |like better? I said, Fuck any question you asked me, like that, I'm not gonna
1512 |1511 |02:06:16 ~-~-> 02:06:19 |give you the right answer. So if you like them both, just fucking buy them
1513 |1512 |02:06:19 ~-~-> 02:06:23 |both, and then I'm done. I'm completely exempt. I can't be looked at like, oh,
1514 |1513 |02:06:23 ~-~-> 02:06:27 |you asshole. You should like this one more. Why'd you ask me if you like it
1515 |1514 |02:06:27 ~-~-> 02:06:28 |more? Why
1516 |1515 |02:06:28 ~-~-> 02:06:32 |does it matter if I like it more? But that's a woman thing and a guy thing is,
1517 |1516 |02:06:32 ~-~-> 02:06:37 |keep me a out of that. But to be a supporting, nurturing husband, I go
1518 |1517 |02:06:37 ~-~-> 02:06:41 |along as the wallet with legs. Okay? I handed a credit card, and I'm basically
1519 |1518 |02:06:41 ~-~-> 02:06:46 |distracting myself as social media. Chances are if I'm going 100 mile an
1520 |1519 |02:06:46 ~-~-> 02:06:50 |hour on social media, I'm probably in a climate where my wife is spending money,
1521 |1520 |02:06:50 ~-~-> 02:06:53 |and I don't want to be there paying attention to that, because I'm trying to
1522 |1521 |02:06:53 ~-~-> 02:06:56 |avoid her. Because if she sees me in my phone, chances are she's not going to
1523 |1522 |02:06:56 ~-~-> 02:07:00 |ask me the question, but okay, I'm going to ask me he's doing his thing. He's
1524 |1523 |02:07:00 ~-~-> 02:07:08 |being ICP, I see he's ICT doing ICT things. Bro, we don't care about your
1525 |1524 |02:07:08 ~-~-> 02:07:12 |wife. We don't care about all this stuff. Tell us how to make money. I am.
1526 |1525 |02:07:14 ~-~-> 02:07:18 |I am. I'm telling you how to have the right mindset, because you don't think
1527 |1526 |02:07:18 ~-~-> 02:07:24 |correctly if you don't manage stress, and here's where we're going to segue
1528 |1527 |02:07:24 ~-~-> 02:07:28 |into it. So for those folks that want to do things on YouTube and you're
1529 |1528 |02:07:28 ~-~-> 02:07:32 |recording this for the purpose of putting it on your YouTube channel, I
1530 |1529 |02:07:32 ~-~-> 02:07:41 |hope you make money with it, by the way, because things are expensive and let me
1531 |1530 |02:07:41 ~-~-> 02:07:47 |get a drink here for a second. The this is the part where we go into how to
1532 |1531 |02:07:47 ~-~-> 02:07:55 |conquer and subdue anxiety and stress living with stress. I just gotta get a
1533 |1532 |02:07:55 ~-~-> 02:07:56 |little bigger
1534 |1533 |02:08:02 ~-~-> 02:08:06 |peek with what time it is, I've been going two and a half, almost, well, two
1535 |1534 |02:08:06 ~-~-> 02:08:10 |hours and 15. That's not bad. About two hours. It didn't feel like two hours.
1536 |1535 |02:08:10 ~-~-> 02:08:15 |I'm gonna try to get this part done in an hour. I know I usually say this kind
1537 |1536 |02:08:15 ~-~-> 02:08:20 |of stuff, and it ends up going for a long, long time. But Caleb's not feeling
1538 |1537 |02:08:20 ~-~-> 02:08:24 |well today, so I have to check on him and see how everything's going with him
1539 |1538 |02:08:24 ~-~-> 02:08:30 |in terms of he's sick with something on what it is. But if you are a person of
1540 |1539 |02:08:30 ~-~-> 02:08:33 |faith, if you keep getting keep him in prayer, I'd be wonderful. I'd appreciate
1541 |1540 |02:08:33 ~-~-> 02:08:45 |that. But the human body is wonderfully and fearfully created, and we have the
1542 |1541 |02:08:45 ~-~-> 02:08:52 |amazing superpower of regeneration. Every seven years, everything in our
1543 |1542 |02:08:52 ~-~-> 02:08:56 |body, just about, not everything entirely but everything has been
1544 |1543 |02:08:56 ~-~-> 02:08:59 |completely replaced. In seven years, your skin cells are completely
1545 |1544 |02:08:59 ~-~-> 02:09:06 |different. The surface of your your bones are, are changing your eye it
1546 |1545 |02:09:06 ~-~-> 02:09:11 |changes like now, because I'm 52 years old, I'm experiencing the the hardening
1547 |1546 |02:09:11 ~-~-> 02:09:16 |of my eye lens. It doesn't have the flexibility as it did when I was a
1548 |1547 |02:09:16 ~-~-> 02:09:23 |younger man. So my eye prescriptions are, are going up as I get older, and
1549 |1548 |02:09:23 ~-~-> 02:09:26 |that's just a normal thing that happens when people get older. So you want to
1550 |1549 |02:09:26 ~-~-> 02:09:30 |preserve your eyesight and to do whatever you can to protect your
1551 |1550 |02:09:30 ~-~-> 02:09:37 |eyesight. I'm convinced that iPhone was one of the big contributing factors to
1552 |1551 |02:09:37 ~-~-> 02:09:42 |why my vision deteriorated, because it wasn't until after I bought my first
1553 |1552 |02:09:42 ~-~-> 02:09:46 |iPhone and used it a lot, and when they first got it, they gave you a warning
1554 |1553 |02:09:47 ~-~-> 02:09:51 |that you had acknowledged that you know that looking at this device will have
1555 |1554 |02:09:51 ~-~-> 02:09:54 |adverse effects on your vision. You probably never noticed it, but it was in
1556 |1555 |02:09:54 ~-~-> 02:09:57 |there. And every time that you get these phones, if you read it, it'll tell you
1557 |1556 |02:09:57 ~-~-> 02:10:01 |it's warning you just like smoking cigarettes. Is, this is going to cause
1558 |1557 |02:10:01 ~-~-> 02:10:05 |lung cancer, this is going to cause heart disease, but yet people still pay
1559 |1558 |02:10:05 ~-~-> 02:10:10 |it. They buy it. So I don't like to use my phone unless I have to be out and
1560 |1559 |02:10:10 ~-~-> 02:10:13 |about, and I know I'm going to be in an environment where I want to distract
1561 |1560 |02:10:13 ~-~-> 02:10:17 |myself, otherwise my phone stays home. But what I was saying to you earlier is
1562 |1561 |02:10:19 ~-~-> 02:10:24 |an algorithm in your phone is constantly listening to you so it can influence
1563 |1562 |02:10:24 ~-~-> 02:10:29 |you. And when you see these things pop up that you were talking about, like,
1564 |1563 |02:10:29 ~-~-> 02:10:33 |when I was talking about generators, one of my students emailed me said, hey,
1565 |1564 |02:10:33 ~-~-> 02:10:36 |look, you know, we just had an experience with a hurricane or storm,
1566 |1565 |02:10:37 ~-~-> 02:10:40 |and you mentioned the past. What generators do you like? Well, I went on
1567 |1566 |02:10:41 ~-~-> 02:10:45 |the Amazon and I took a screenshot of it, not an affiliate link or anything
1568 |1567 |02:10:45 ~-~-> 02:10:48 |like that, and I sent it to her, and I said, this is a goblin, and uses very
1569 |1568 |02:10:48 ~-~-> 02:10:53 |low fuel. It's the Honda little red one. I don't know what model number it is,
1570 |1569 |02:10:54 ~-~-> 02:10:59 |but the it does well. It runs a long time on a little bit of gas. And because
1571 |1570 |02:10:59 ~-~-> 02:11:04 |I was talking about it with her in the car, her phone picked up on what I was
1572 |1571 |02:11:04 ~-~-> 02:11:09 |saying, and then now she gets all these advertisements offering her generators.
1573 |1572 |02:11:10 ~-~-> 02:11:21 |So if, if you don't understand that the market is a great big algorithm that is
1574 |1573 |02:11:21 ~-~-> 02:11:28 |enticing people to buy and sell for their benefit, not yours, then I don't
1575 |1574 |02:11:28 ~-~-> 02:11:33 |know how to convince you, because everything that we do is influenced by
1576 |1575 |02:11:33 ~-~-> 02:11:37 |algorithms. Everything, and it's not a stress of the imagination to see how
1577 |1576 |02:11:37 ~-~-> 02:11:41 |when electronic trading became electronic and open outcry in the pits
1578 |1577 |02:11:41 ~-~-> 02:11:46 |was done away with. That's why open outcry pit traders don't do very well,
1579 |1578 |02:11:47 ~-~-> 02:11:52 |because the advantages of having that stressful run of not knowing what the
1580 |1579 |02:11:52 ~-~-> 02:11:57 |market's going to do, and they just have a shit day. But when everybody's dog
1581 |1580 |02:11:57 ~-~-> 02:12:01 |piling in and there's a lot of orders going into the marketplace, they catch
1582 |1581 |02:12:01 ~-~-> 02:12:05 |the momentum by following on. Okay? They see the orders, just like when you
1583 |1582 |02:12:05 ~-~-> 02:12:08 |understand how to read buy side and sell aside. They know where the highs and
1584 |1583 |02:12:08 ~-~-> 02:12:11 |lows are for the entry. They're writing it down a little scratch pad. This was
1585 |1584 |02:12:11 ~-~-> 02:12:14 |the highest high it went to in the last hour. This is the highest high it went
1586 |1585 |02:12:14 ~-~-> 02:12:18 |to on the day so far. So when the market starts to run towards that high, chances
1587 |1586 |02:12:18 ~-~-> 02:12:22 |are, what's it going to do? It's going to pop the high. And a lot of pit
1588 |1587 |02:12:22 ~-~-> 02:12:26 |traders, that was their that was their thing, and they had the advantages of
1589 |1588 |02:12:26 ~-~-> 02:12:30 |seeing the influx of all the real orders coming in, not something that's fluffed
1590 |1589 |02:12:30 ~-~-> 02:12:36 |up with book, map, level two, data, all of that stuff can be scammed. But when
1591 |1590 |02:12:36 ~-~-> 02:12:40 |they're in the pit and they see actual tickets being ran down to the floor,
1592 |1591 |02:12:40 ~-~-> 02:12:45 |they had an inside edge of being a momentum trader, but now, because they
1593 |1592 |02:12:45 ~-~-> 02:12:50 |don't have that anymore, they have the stress of now being forced to look at a
1594 |1593 |02:12:50 ~-~-> 02:12:55 |chart, and that's why they don't historically, they don't do well. It's a
1595 |1594 |02:12:55 ~-~-> 02:13:00 |great big divergence between what they're accustomed to having faith in
1596 |1595 |02:13:00 ~-~-> 02:13:04 |and what was their model of just was piggyback. Let's all dog pile on. What's
1597 |1596 |02:13:04 ~-~-> 02:13:08 |going on right now? That's, that's usually what was going on in the pit.
1598 |1597 |02:13:10 ~-~-> 02:13:16 |But they don't exist anymore. So that's a source of stress for that type of
1599 |1598 |02:13:16 ~-~-> 02:13:20 |person. You as someone that's coming up in this industry. Now, if you're brand
1600 |1599 |02:13:20 ~-~-> 02:13:26 |new, you have all the advantages today that wasn't afforded to people like me
1601 |1600 |02:13:26 ~-~-> 02:13:32 |and before me, I started November 5, 1992 that's that's when I first started
1602 |1601 |02:13:33 ~-~-> 02:13:39 |being a traitor. I was being influenced by my uncle at 14, talking to me Tell me
1603 |1602 |02:13:40 ~-~-> 02:13:44 |I would hear him, and I didn't know it was he was laying the seeds that
1604 |1603 |02:13:44 ~-~-> 02:13:49 |eventually would become who I am today. But he didn't teach me how to trade. He
1605 |1604 |02:13:49 ~-~-> 02:13:53 |didn't know how to trade. He was just like, he was like a conduit. I think God
1606 |1605 |02:13:53 ~-~-> 02:13:56 |basically was using him to constantly push it, because this is my whole life.
1607 |1606 |02:13:56 ~-~-> 02:14:02 |That's my whole purpose here. I'm convinced of it, but it wasn't an easy
1608 |1607 |02:14:02 ~-~-> 02:14:07 |path, and I had lots of stress, and I want to take you back to 2001 for a
1609 |1608 |02:14:07 ~-~-> 02:14:15 |second, and kind of paint the picture I was on Merck, which was mIRC, it was
1610 |1609 |02:14:15 ~-~-> 02:14:20 |interlay, Internet Relay Chat. We didn't have social media like we have today,
1611 |1610 |02:14:20 ~-~-> 02:14:24 |like, if you want to be online, you did either bulletin boards, message boards,
1612 |1611 |02:14:24 ~-~-> 02:14:30 |basically think of like the early stages of Amazon, not America Online. And then
1613 |1612 |02:14:30 ~-~-> 02:14:35 |if you weren't on a platform, like America Online, you used Internet Relay
1614 |1613 |02:14:35 ~-~-> 02:14:42 |Chat, which were like chat rooms today, okay? And honestly, that was way better
1615 |1614 |02:14:42 ~-~-> 02:14:47 |than social media today. Social media today is afforded people the ability to
1616 |1615 |02:14:47 ~-~-> 02:14:51 |really be horrible to one another. The worst thing that could happen back then
1617 |1616 |02:14:51 ~-~-> 02:14:56 |was someone cuss you out. Okay, whatever. Big deal. But now they could
1618 |1617 |02:14:56 ~-~-> 02:15:01 |take your image, your photo, Photoshop. Make you look fat, make you look skinny,
1619 |1618 |02:15:01 ~-~-> 02:15:05 |make you look Toothless, make you look homeless, make you look like a female
1620 |1619 |02:15:05 ~-~-> 02:15:11 |when you're a male or vice versa. And that's just toxic. And I wish that
1621 |1620 |02:15:11 ~-~-> 02:15:14 |wasn't part of what social media is today, but I understand it's meant to
1622 |1621 |02:15:14 ~-~-> 02:15:19 |divide us constantly, and that causes stress. I have one of the biggest
1623 |1622 |02:15:19 ~-~-> 02:15:25 |reasons for being an angry person, if I was insecure because of the things that
1624 |1623 |02:15:25 ~-~-> 02:15:29 |people put on the internet about me that are not true. I don't have any stress
1625 |1624 |02:15:29 ~-~-> 02:15:34 |about those types of things. I don't like that people sometimes talk about my
1626 |1625 |02:15:34 ~-~-> 02:15:37 |family when they don't know my family. They lie and they say things terrible
1627 |1626 |02:15:37 ~-~-> 02:15:41 |about my family. I get angry when I see that stuff. There's things that I would
1628 |1627 |02:15:41 ~-~-> 02:15:44 |like to do if they're in front of me. Front of me, and they would never
1629 |1628 |02:15:44 ~-~-> 02:15:47 |fucking do that if I follows in front of them, because they'd lose their fucking
1630 |1629 |02:15:47 ~-~-> 02:15:54 |teeth. But if you're walking through your daily life, and you have all of
1631 |1630 |02:15:54 ~-~-> 02:16:00 |these adversities that everybody endures it, everybody has these stresses, and
1632 |1631 |02:16:00 ~-~-> 02:16:05 |you allow it to compound and fester and build up. Eventually you might have and
1633 |1632 |02:16:05 ~-~-> 02:16:10 |don't be surprised if you don't have any understanding of what a panic attack is,
1634 |1633 |02:16:10 ~-~-> 02:16:15 |but eventually, given enough time, if you keep having these stressful
1635 |1634 |02:16:15 ~-~-> 02:16:18 |environments, and you keep allowing yourself to be in these and stressful
1636 |1635 |02:16:18 ~-~-> 02:16:24 |conditions, you can enter into a state of panic, and that's where you allow
1637 |1636 |02:16:24 ~-~-> 02:16:30 |generalized stress go beyond that, to generalize anxiety and then to full
1638 |1637 |02:16:30 ~-~-> 02:16:37 |blown panic. And I am intimately aware of what that feels like, because dozens
1639 |1638 |02:16:37 ~-~-> 02:16:43 |of times I have been ushered into the emergency room by ambulance, swearing up
1640 |1639 |02:16:43 ~-~-> 02:16:49 |and down to the time that I was getting ready to meet my maker as a young man at
1641 |1640 |02:16:49 ~-~-> 02:16:55 |1819, years old, I had panic attacks then, because I was obsessive about my
1642 |1641 |02:16:55 ~-~-> 02:17:03 |first wife. She was someone that looked exactly like Alicia Silverstone, I had
1643 |1642 |02:17:03 ~-~-> 02:17:08 |pictures to prove all that stuff. She was a troubled girl, and I married her
1644 |1643 |02:17:08 ~-~-> 02:17:12 |to get out of a troubled situation. I had a lot of stress placed on me that I
1645 |1644 |02:17:12 ~-~-> 02:17:15 |shouldn't have placed on me as a young man, but I was trying to be a white
1646 |1645 |02:17:15 ~-~-> 02:17:22 |knight. I was trying to save her from a toxic home environment, and if
1647 |1646 |02:17:27 ~-~-> 02:17:38 |the part out the the stress of being in a young relationship and being my first,
1648 |1647 |02:17:38 ~-~-> 02:17:45 |That was the first female I was intimate with because I'm a journaler. Because
1649 |1648 |02:17:45 ~-~-> 02:17:48 |I've always journaled as a person. I journal dreams. I have a dream journal.
1650 |1649 |02:17:49 ~-~-> 02:17:53 |I was always journaling things about martial arts. I won the head of the
1651 |1650 |02:17:53 ~-~-> 02:17:57 |martial arts studio. All these things as a young man, and I can tell you the date
1652 |1651 |02:17:57 ~-~-> 02:18:01 |and time where I lost my virginity. Chances are most men out here listening
1653 |1652 |02:18:01 ~-~-> 02:18:05 |to me can't do that. The women probably can do that because it means something
1654 |1653 |02:18:05 ~-~-> 02:18:08 |to them. And when I was growing up, I wanted to give that part of me to
1655 |1654 |02:18:08 ~-~-> 02:18:14 |someone that deserved it, and I felt that this girl, at the time, was
1656 |1655 |02:18:14 ~-~-> 02:18:17 |everything I wanted. And if we were stay together, I would have never been with
1657 |1656 |02:18:17 ~-~-> 02:18:24 |anybody else. I've always been principle oriented. I've always been someone that
1658 |1657 |02:18:24 ~-~-> 02:18:32 |the numbers and the probabilities of things, and when you think that way,
1659 |1658 |02:18:33 ~-~-> 02:18:37 |it's not unnatural for you to elevate the level of importance around things
1660 |1659 |02:18:37 ~-~-> 02:18:43 |that are going to be your best outcome, and when they don't hit, when you don't
1661 |1660 |02:18:43 ~-~-> 02:18:47 |reach those numbers or those goals, what will happen is, is that you will
1662 |1661 |02:18:47 ~-~-> 02:18:56 |eventually have measures of regret being let down like you didn't perform as well
1663 |1662 |02:18:56 ~-~-> 02:19:01 |as you should have. And when that happens, you can obsess about it, and I
1664 |1663 |02:19:01 ~-~-> 02:19:05 |developed an obsessive compulsive disorder where I would look at things
1665 |1664 |02:19:05 ~-~-> 02:19:12 |and I would judge myself very critically, and I would weigh myself
1666 |1665 |02:19:12 ~-~-> 02:19:17 |against other people, when these other people had such a higher degree of
1667 |1666 |02:19:17 ~-~-> 02:19:21 |efficiency and experience that would be unreasonable For me to have that
1668 |1667 |02:19:21 ~-~-> 02:19:26 |expectation to live up to that measure of performance. But because I was a
1669 |1668 |02:19:26 ~-~-> 02:19:30 |young man, and because we always think of ourselves as a superhero in the
1670 |1669 |02:19:30 ~-~-> 02:19:35 |making, the the pressure that we place on ourselves, like I was praising on
1671 |1670 |02:19:35 ~-~-> 02:19:42 |myself as a young man, it compounded. And on September 11, I was teaching a
1672 |1671 |02:19:42 ~-~-> 02:19:46 |young young man. He was, I think it was a little bit older than I was, but not
1673 |1672 |02:19:46 ~-~-> 02:19:52 |by much. I've mentioned it before. His name is George Lutz, and he lived in
1674 |1673 |02:19:52 ~-~-> 02:19:58 |Virginia, and I was teaching him how to trade s, p, and I would call the S P and
1675 |1674 |02:19:58 ~-~-> 02:20:01 |outline where it was going to go in text. We couldn't do charts back then. I
1676 |1675 |02:20:01 ~-~-> 02:20:05 |couldn't share a chart in a chat room or anything like that, because that was not
1677 |1676 |02:20:05 ~-~-> 02:20:11 |we'd have the capability of doing that. So if Give me one second here,
1678 |1677 |02:20:24 ~-~-> 02:20:31 |the morning of September 11 was just like any other day was. Weather is
1679 |1678 |02:20:31 ~-~-> 02:20:38 |beautiful. I woke up feeling good. I had already started giving pre market
1680 |1679 |02:20:38 ~-~-> 02:20:43 |analysis to Mr. Lutz, and he wasn't paying for mentorship. Like he didn't
1681 |1680 |02:20:43 ~-~-> 02:20:48 |pay me to do it. He offered to pay me a little bit of money, but because he was
1682 |1681 |02:20:48 ~-~-> 02:20:55 |literally delivering pizza then, and I told him, I said, Listen, you know I I
1683 |1682 |02:20:55 ~-~-> 02:20:59 |can relate to what you're doing. I can physically relate to this. So what I'm
1684 |1683 |02:20:59 ~-~-> 02:21:03 |going to do is I'm going to sit with you and coach you through it, and once you
1685 |1684 |02:21:03 ~-~-> 02:21:07 |get a feel for what it is you're trying to do, I will not turn you loose, but
1686 |1685 |02:21:07 ~-~-> 02:21:15 |you don't need to pay me for it. And I took Cody to public school. He, He and
1687 |1686 |02:21:15 ~-~-> 02:21:20 |my oldest daughter, they went to public school. And my younger ones, we
1688 |1687 |02:21:20 ~-~-> 02:21:26 |homeschooled them. But the the morning I took covid school, it was beautiful out.
1689 |1688 |02:21:26 ~-~-> 02:21:31 |Now I was telling myself, Wow, this is such a lovely day, and everything was
1690 |1689 |02:21:31 ~-~-> 02:21:35 |just picture perfect. You ever have a day like that where you wake up,
1691 |1690 |02:21:35 ~-~-> 02:21:41 |everything is so good, so you feel good, no headache, no body aches. You feel
1692 |1691 |02:21:41 ~-~-> 02:21:45 |happy. You feel like you're at the right place at the right time, and you feel
1693 |1692 |02:21:45 ~-~-> 02:21:49 |wonderfully balanced. Everything is as it should be. And I was coming back
1694 |1693 |02:21:49 ~-~-> 02:21:56 |home, I was driving down through Essex, Maryland, and I literally went holding
1695 |1694 |02:21:56 ~-~-> 02:22:01 |my hand out, thinking myself, it is such a beautiful day, said it out loud, and I
1696 |1695 |02:22:01 ~-~-> 02:22:09 |pulled up to the house, went inside, hit the remote CNBC, and there's a picture
1697 |1696 |02:22:09 ~-~-> 02:22:13 |of the first building when we spoke coming out of it. And I looked at it and
1698 |1697 |02:22:13 ~-~-> 02:22:16 |looked away, thinking, Okay, it's a commercial for, you know, a movie or
1699 |1698 |02:22:16 ~-~-> 02:22:19 |something. And I turned my screen on, because I would always turn my screen
1700 |1699 |02:22:19 ~-~-> 02:22:23 |off and leave the system running. And then I said to George, I said, Hey, I'm
1701 |1700 |02:22:23 ~-~-> 02:22:27 |back. He's like, Did you see what just happened? I was like, No, what's
1702 |1701 |02:22:27 ~-~-> 02:22:31 |happening? Because turn on the TV. I said it is on. He goes, a plane just hit
1703 |1702 |02:22:31 ~-~-> 02:22:37 |the Trade Center. So I'm thinking it's one of those, like little senestiness.
1704 |1703 |02:22:37 ~-~-> 02:22:41 |And they were actually saying that on the TV at the time. And as I was talking
1705 |1704 |02:22:41 ~-~-> 02:22:44 |to myself, can you imagine the people in that little plane? Because again, I
1706 |1705 |02:22:44 ~-~-> 02:22:49 |wasn't thinking it was an airline. And then I watched the second plane hit
1707 |1706 |02:22:49 ~-~-> 02:22:55 |live, and I can't tell you how it made me feel like sick to my stomach. I'm
1708 |1707 |02:22:55 ~-~-> 02:23:01 |like, I know what this is. Like. I know what this is. And immediately I told
1709 |1708 |02:23:01 ~-~-> 02:23:06 |him, I said, Listen, you know, I'm in a trade right now, and I'm waiting for the
1710 |1709 |02:23:06 ~-~-> 02:23:10 |open to close. It like I wanted to see it follow through with what I was
1711 |1710 |02:23:10 ~-~-> 02:23:15 |holding the trade for. And because of that, I knew we weren't going to open
1712 |1711 |02:23:15 ~-~-> 02:23:18 |up. The market was not going to open up. There was not going to be an opening
1713 |1712 |02:23:18 ~-~-> 02:23:23 |bell. And there was news that other planes were in in route to other places,
1714 |1713 |02:23:26 ~-~-> 02:23:30 |and I wanted my family home immediately. And fear gripped me in a way I've never
1715 |1714 |02:23:30 ~-~-> 02:23:33 |felt before. I had anxiety attacks about my first wife. You know, when we would
1716 |1715 |02:23:33 ~-~-> 02:23:39 |get arguments because I was love sick over obsessively love sick. I was
1717 |1716 |02:23:39 ~-~-> 02:23:47 |unnaturally committed to her in an unhealthy way, and eventually grew into
1718 |1717 |02:23:47 ~-~-> 02:23:50 |a point where I was trying to tell her what to wear, how to act, who to talk
1719 |1718 |02:23:50 ~-~-> 02:23:53 |to, and that just guaranteed that we weren't going to stay together because
1720 |1719 |02:23:53 ~-~-> 02:23:57 |of my insecurities. But it was justified in looking backwards, because there was
1721 |1720 |02:23:57 ~-~-> 02:24:01 |infidelity there, and I picked up on it subconsciously. I knew it was there, but
1722 |1721 |02:24:01 ~-~-> 02:24:07 |I didn't want to, I didn't want to address it. In life, when you feel like
1723 |1722 |02:24:07 ~-~-> 02:24:11 |something's not right, you need to obviously address it, because if you let
1724 |1723 |02:24:11 ~-~-> 02:24:21 |it fester, it could become very bad, and that day was my first dose of full blown
1725 |1724 |02:24:21 ~-~-> 02:24:27 |panic, like I felt like my chest was crushing me. I was I couldn't think
1726 |1725 |02:24:27 ~-~-> 02:24:32 |where all my family members were, like, I couldn't, couldn't collect my
1727 |1726 |02:24:32 ~-~-> 02:24:37 |thoughts, and I couldn't even type out the message to Mr. Lutz to tell him I'm
1728 |1727 |02:24:37 ~-~-> 02:24:44 |I'm getting off of here. I got to take care of personal matters. I I called my
1729 |1728 |02:24:44 ~-~-> 02:24:49 |wife at her family members house and said, Listen, I need you home like I
1730 |1729 |02:24:49 ~-~-> 02:24:53 |need you to go home right now. We need to get the kids out of school. You get
1731 |1730 |02:24:53 ~-~-> 02:24:58 |our daughter, and I'll get Cody. And you know, this is head back to the house.
1732 |1731 |02:24:58 ~-~-> 02:25:01 |Don't stop anywhere. And. She's like, why? What's going on? I explained to
1733 |1732 |02:25:01 ~-~-> 02:25:05 |her, and she was like, oh, okay, well, big deal. And she didn't realize it was
1734 |1733 |02:25:05 ~-~-> 02:25:09 |and I knew that day things were changing around the world. I knew at that moment,
1735 |1734 |02:25:10 ~-~-> 02:25:14 |something big just shifted, a major shift. And if you look back, if you're
1736 |1735 |02:25:14 ~-~-> 02:25:17 |old enough, a lot of you 20 year olds don't even know what that day was like.
1737 |1736 |02:25:17 ~-~-> 02:25:21 |You don't know what the world was like before that day, where people could have
1738 |1737 |02:25:23 ~-~-> 02:25:27 |communications with other people. We didn't have racism back then. We didn't
1739 |1738 |02:25:27 ~-~-> 02:25:32 |have things that made other people and other cultures at war with one another
1740 |1739 |02:25:32 ~-~-> 02:25:36 |time, it was a different like people had a sense of humor. If you were gay, a
1741 |1740 |02:25:37 ~-~-> 02:25:41 |comedian could make references to your lifestyle, and you would be in the
1742 |1741 |02:25:41 ~-~-> 02:25:45 |audience, and you'd laugh about it. You weren't trying to force your your
1743 |1742 |02:25:45 ~-~-> 02:25:48 |lifestyle on us, and we weren't trying to force our lifestyle on you, and we
1744 |1743 |02:25:48 ~-~-> 02:25:55 |got along better as a people. But that all shifted that day, and everything
1745 |1744 |02:25:55 ~-~-> 02:26:01 |became everything was a means of divisiveness, and I started feeling all
1746 |1745 |02:26:01 ~-~-> 02:26:06 |that and everything became a pressure cooker of stress, and I didn't like it.
1747 |1746 |02:26:06 ~-~-> 02:26:10 |And the news, as I was saying earlier, my wife used to watch this stuff, and it
1748 |1747 |02:26:10 ~-~-> 02:26:13 |would be toxic, and it would tell you, Oh, the terror threat would go up from
1749 |1748 |02:26:13 ~-~-> 02:26:17 |yellow to orange, and then all of a sudden, one day, it would be lower to
1750 |1749 |02:26:17 ~-~-> 02:26:20 |yellow, and then it would jump to red. We don't know where it's coming from. We
1751 |1750 |02:26:20 ~-~-> 02:26:23 |don't know how it's going to happen and who's going to do it with. Going to do
1752 |1751 |02:26:23 ~-~-> 02:26:28 |it, but something might happen today. Be on guard. What the hell. No wonder
1753 |1752 |02:26:28 ~-~-> 02:26:32 |people are constantly stressed out. And then what do you think happened? Who do
1754 |1753 |02:26:32 ~-~-> 02:26:35 |you think could take that and make money? The pharmaceutical industry,
1755 |1754 |02:26:36 ~-~-> 02:26:40 |anxiety medicines became a thing that was like Flintstone vitamins. Everybody
1756 |1755 |02:26:40 ~-~-> 02:26:46 |had to have it in their household. I would never take those types of drugs. I
1757 |1756 |02:26:46 ~-~-> 02:26:50 |would never do that. Never, never, never, would I ever do that because it's
1758 |1757 |02:26:50 ~-~-> 02:26:53 |it's an altered state. I'm not going to allow myself to be in an altered state.
1759 |1758 |02:26:53 ~-~-> 02:27:02 |So I endured a lot of stress, fear, anxiety and panic attacks, and it
1760 |1759 |02:27:02 ~-~-> 02:27:05 |eventually affected my eating, where I didn't want to eat, and then it got to
1761 |1760 |02:27:05 ~-~-> 02:27:08 |the point where I would dehydrate. I would go to the hospital just to get
1762 |1761 |02:27:08 ~-~-> 02:27:11 |hydrated. I'd feel good for a little while, and I'd go right back into the
1763 |1762 |02:27:11 ~-~-> 02:27:17 |thing where I'd be so stressed out I couldn't eat. And it was this endless
1764 |1763 |02:27:17 ~-~-> 02:27:20 |loop of constantly going through that. And I think I told you I was going to
1765 |1764 |02:27:20 ~-~-> 02:27:30 |post a picture of myself where I was 195 pounds of well built, just not like Mr.
1766 |1765 |02:27:30 ~-~-> 02:27:34 |Olympia, but I was well built, I took care of myself, and I went down from
1767 |1766 |02:27:34 ~-~-> 02:27:39 |that to 150 pounds, and I looked like a cancer patient, like I was going through
1768 |1767 |02:27:39 ~-~-> 02:27:44 |some kind of regimen of chemo, and my face was sunk in. My skin was horrible.
1769 |1768 |02:27:44 ~-~-> 02:27:49 |My bones and my joints hurt because I was malnourished. But even feeling that
1770 |1769 |02:27:49 ~-~-> 02:27:55 |way, I wouldn't eat healthy because I viewed few I used the perspective of
1771 |1770 |02:27:55 ~-~-> 02:28:00 |food being an adversary to me. If I ate, I felt like I was sick. So how do I keep
1772 |1771 |02:28:00 ~-~-> 02:28:07 |myself from being sick? Don't eat. And it became so bad that I had acid reflux
1773 |1772 |02:28:07 ~-~-> 02:28:11 |because I wasn't eating food, but I was constantly stressing, this is pumping
1774 |1773 |02:28:11 ~-~-> 02:28:14 |acid, and I was dehydrated, so when the acid would shoot up out of my stomach,
1775 |1774 |02:28:14 ~-~-> 02:28:20 |it would erode my esophagus, so I couldn't even drink water at the worst
1776 |1775 |02:28:20 ~-~-> 02:28:26 |of it. So I had to go and be hospitalized for major dehydration, and
1777 |1776 |02:28:26 ~-~-> 02:28:29 |they would tell me, you need to make changes. And I would hear them say it,
1778 |1777 |02:28:29 ~-~-> 02:28:33 |but I'd be like, you don't know what it feels like. You don't know what it feels
1779 |1778 |02:28:33 ~-~-> 02:28:38 |like. I had a mental illness. Then I was battling mental illness, and today
1780 |1779 |02:28:38 ~-~-> 02:28:42 |they're fostering it. They're keeping it going, and they're championing it.
1781 |1780 |02:28:42 ~-~-> 02:28:46 |They're making celebrities out of these people, and they're not helping them.
1782 |1781 |02:28:46 ~-~-> 02:28:49 |We're not trying to help people that have mental illness. We're enabling
1783 |1782 |02:28:49 ~-~-> 02:28:52 |them, and we're celebrating them. And then people that are weak minded, they
1784 |1783 |02:28:52 ~-~-> 02:28:55 |say, Well, I could be a celebrity like that and be looked upon because I don't
1785 |1784 |02:28:55 ~-~-> 02:28:59 |feel good about myself, or I feel low self esteem, or I'm questioning who I am
1786 |1785 |02:28:59 ~-~-> 02:29:01 |as a person. So if I do what they're doing, I'm probably going to be
1787 |1786 |02:29:01 ~-~-> 02:29:05 |recognized and find six recognized and find significance in that. And that's
1788 |1787 |02:29:05 ~-~-> 02:29:12 |terrible. That's terrible you're not being guided to live a fulfilling,
1789 |1788 |02:29:12 ~-~-> 02:29:16 |purpose driven life where you're comfortable in your own skin. Everybody
1790 |1789 |02:29:16 ~-~-> 02:29:21 |has stress, everybody has anxiety, everybody has discomforts, and they all
1791 |1790 |02:29:21 ~-~-> 02:29:28 |have their little triggering things in trading what you don't realize is you're
1792 |1791 |02:29:28 ~-~-> 02:29:33 |asking to be part of a culture and a lifestyle that is going to be perpetual
1793 |1792 |02:29:33 ~-~-> 02:29:41 |stress. You're inviting yourself to be a part of a industry that is predominantly
1794 |1793 |02:29:41 ~-~-> 02:29:50 |stress inducing. Now I'm not going to tell you that this is going to affect
1795 |1794 |02:29:50 ~-~-> 02:29:53 |everybody, because it's not I'm not a doctor, I'm not a physician. I'm not
1796 |1795 |02:29:53 ~-~-> 02:29:57 |telling you how you should live your life and avoid seeing a professional if
1797 |1796 |02:29:57 ~-~-> 02:30:01 |you feel like you need to see a professional. Or see a kind guidance
1798 |1797 |02:30:01 ~-~-> 02:30:06 |counselor, or, you know, some kind of medical professionals put it that way,
1799 |1798 |02:30:06 ~-~-> 02:30:10 |then do it. But don't take whatever opinion they gave you. Get a second
1800 |1799 |02:30:10 ~-~-> 02:30:11 |opinion.
1801 |1800 |02:30:13 ~-~-> 02:30:17 |For me, I've always had white coat syndrome. White Coat syndrome is I don't
1802 |1801 |02:30:17 ~-~-> 02:30:22 |trust these fucking doctors. And now, after 2020 I sure as fuck don't just
1803 |1802 |02:30:22 ~-~-> 02:30:26 |trust these people. So it's going to take something like it just recently
1804 |1803 |02:30:26 ~-~-> 02:30:29 |happened, where I thought I was having a heart attack. That's what took me to the
1805 |1804 |02:30:29 ~-~-> 02:30:33 |emergency room, something short of me losing my life, or feeling I'm going to
1806 |1805 |02:30:33 ~-~-> 02:30:37 |lose my life. And it wasn't anxious, like I wasn't anxious, like I was a
1807 |1806 |02:30:37 ~-~-> 02:30:42 |younger man, but I knew enough what I was feeling that was not normal. So
1808 |1807 |02:30:42 ~-~-> 02:30:48 |because I'm in my 50s, let's go get it checked out and EKG CAT scan, blood
1809 |1808 |02:30:48 ~-~-> 02:30:53 |work, everything came back perfect, like I have the numbers of a 20 year old. But
1810 |1809 |02:30:54 ~-~-> 02:31:00 |I'm also aware that some of you are not going to correct the things, like I was
1811 |1810 |02:31:00 ~-~-> 02:31:03 |able to correct it when I was a little bit younger, if I would, younger, if I
1812 |1811 |02:31:03 ~-~-> 02:31:06 |would have never made these changes that I'm going to cover now, I'm not so
1813 |1812 |02:31:06 ~-~-> 02:31:10 |certain that my health would be where it is today. I wouldn't be certain that my
1814 |1813 |02:31:10 ~-~-> 02:31:18 |health, of my heart, my organs, would be as they are. My blood work like you have
1815 |1814 |02:31:18 ~-~-> 02:31:23 |no idea how much stress has an effect on your personal body, and you can make
1816 |1815 |02:31:23 ~-~-> 02:31:28 |lots of money trading, but you could be extremely unhealthy while making lots of
1817 |1816 |02:31:28 ~-~-> 02:31:32 |money. And what do you get by that? What's the point of having all that
1818 |1817 |02:31:32 ~-~-> 02:31:36 |money building up all this worth and it shortens your lifespan? Well, I don't
1819 |1818 |02:31:36 ~-~-> 02:31:40 |care, dude, I'm going to live my life right now. You can't take it with you,
1820 |1819 |02:31:40 ~-~-> 02:31:46 |yeah, but the Word says, Why die before the time? Why? Why invite that end
1821 |1820 |02:31:46 ~-~-> 02:31:50 |result or deteriorate your health? So that way, as you're building this wealth
1822 |1821 |02:31:50 ~-~-> 02:31:54 |up, you're making it impossible for you to go out there and live and have a
1823 |1822 |02:31:54 ~-~-> 02:31:59 |fruitful, bountiful life with it. What's the purpose? Why make all this money if
1824 |1823 |02:31:59 ~-~-> 02:32:03 |you're not going to be healthy enough to endure, you know, longer lifetime
1825 |1824 |02:32:03 ~-~-> 02:32:07 |spending and enjoying and blessing other people with it. What's the what's the
1826 |1825 |02:32:07 ~-~-> 02:32:14 |point of that? It's pointless. So to have a long, profitable, affluent
1827 |1826 |02:32:14 ~-~-> 02:32:18 |lifestyle that is a blessing to both you and the people that around you love and
1828 |1827 |02:32:18 ~-~-> 02:32:25 |support your first measure of wealth is your health. And think about how it's
1829 |1828 |02:32:25 ~-~-> 02:32:30 |been for the last four years. Has it been stressful for you? I probably,
1830 |1829 |02:32:31 ~-~-> 02:32:35 |probably would venture to say it's probably about 65% if not more, that
1831 |1830 |02:32:35 ~-~-> 02:32:40 |it's been very stressful all the things that we've been told we can and can't do
1832 |1831 |02:32:41 ~-~-> 02:32:45 |you can't go to funerals. You can't see your loved ones in the hospital. You
1833 |1832 |02:32:45 ~-~-> 02:32:48 |can't work unless you receive this little thing in your arm, your arm
1834 |1833 |02:32:48 ~-~-> 02:32:53 |ticket. That's all priming for what's about to come. That's all stuff that's
1835 |1834 |02:32:53 ~-~-> 02:32:56 |leading up to that. And then if you don't have faith in what is on the other
1836 |1835 |02:32:56 ~-~-> 02:33:02 |side of that stuff, it could be very scary. But in trading, every single day,
1837 |1836 |02:33:02 ~-~-> 02:33:07 |you are throwing yourself in the furnace, this pressure cooker of I don't
1838 |1837 |02:33:07 ~-~-> 02:33:13 |know what's going to happen, and if I'm wrong, I'm losing money. Contrast that
1839 |1838 |02:33:13 ~-~-> 02:33:18 |with I gotta get up, gotta drive, spend my gas money. That is not a tax
1840 |1839 |02:33:18 ~-~-> 02:33:22 |deduction for me. I gotta drive to my job and get paid. The most I can get
1841 |1840 |02:33:22 ~-~-> 02:33:26 |paid is what I agreed to. So I prostitute my time, and I don't know
1842 |1841 |02:33:26 ~-~-> 02:33:29 |what workloads waiting for me. I don't know if someone called out now I have to
1843 |1842 |02:33:29 ~-~-> 02:33:32 |do their work and mine, Carl's going to be over here and wanting to know what
1844 |1843 |02:33:32 ~-~-> 02:33:36 |the hell I'm doing, and mine and his business is what he should be doing, but
1845 |1844 |02:33:36 ~-~-> 02:33:40 |he's not. He's stressing me out. All these things are going to compound, but
1846 |1845 |02:33:40 ~-~-> 02:33:43 |you're not going to make any more money if the workload is increased for that
1847 |1846 |02:33:43 ~-~-> 02:33:47 |day. You're not getting overtime because they place more workload on you that
1848 |1847 |02:33:47 ~-~-> 02:33:55 |day. So you have a expected level of stress to some degree when you have your
1849 |1848 |02:33:55 ~-~-> 02:34:03 |job, but in trading, you have a total different level of stress, and now you
1850 |1849 |02:34:03 ~-~-> 02:34:08 |can go to work basically and fuck off and spend time on your computer, listen
1851 |1850 |02:34:08 ~-~-> 02:34:11 |to me watching my videos steal from the boss, which is what you should not be
1852 |1851 |02:34:11 ~-~-> 02:34:18 |doing, and get to the day bare minimum, low output, low performance, and still
1853 |1852 |02:34:18 ~-~-> 02:34:23 |not get caught, Not get fired and get away with it. You cannot pull that
1854 |1853 |02:34:23 ~-~-> 02:34:28 |Mickey Mouse shit off in trading. You have to be on point. You have to be
1855 |1854 |02:34:29 ~-~-> 02:34:33 |aware of what the risks are. You have to keep these risks measured appropriately
1856 |1855 |02:34:33 ~-~-> 02:34:38 |for your equity and your skill set and your ability. If you try to spread your
1857 |1856 |02:34:38 ~-~-> 02:34:43 |wings too far and outside the scope of what your capabilities are, you are
1858 |1857 |02:34:43 ~-~-> 02:34:48 |asking, and you should not be surprised by the level of stress that you're
1859 |1858 |02:34:48 ~-~-> 02:34:52 |feeling, and it's a direct relationship to what you try to put on yourself
1860 |1859 |02:34:53 ~-~-> 02:34:57 |prematurely, and a lot of that comes in the early stages of your development,
1861 |1860 |02:34:57 ~-~-> 02:35:01 |because you're in a rush to make money, and I'm. Trying to cultivate the mindset
1862 |1861 |02:35:01 ~-~-> 02:35:04 |of students and my children too, is that there's plenty of money out there
1863 |1862 |02:35:04 ~-~-> 02:35:09 |waiting. There's plenty of money out there. And when it's no longer about
1864 |1863 |02:35:09 ~-~-> 02:35:14 |money, it's about living a principle oriented life and trading a principal
1865 |1864 |02:35:14 ~-~-> 02:35:18 |oriented career. That means you're you're doing things by the number, not
1866 |1865 |02:35:18 ~-~-> 02:35:23 |by the the stimuli of having the monetary reward. Making money is fun,
1867 |1866 |02:35:23 ~-~-> 02:35:29 |don't get me wrong, but that's not all of it. Perfect example, I could be
1868 |1867 |02:35:29 ~-~-> 02:35:32 |making millions of dollars giving all of this information. I'm giving out live
1869 |1868 |02:35:32 ~-~-> 02:35:36 |streaming. That could be a that could be a mentorship. I'm never doing that
1870 |1869 |02:35:36 ~-~-> 02:35:41 |again, and I could I'm turning my nose up against millions of dollars, because
1871 |1870 |02:35:41 ~-~-> 02:35:46 |money doesn't make me happy. Money doesn't fill that hole in my heart and
1872 |1871 |02:35:46 ~-~-> 02:35:50 |my body, in my mind, in spirit that I get when I help other people, when I'm
1873 |1872 |02:35:50 ~-~-> 02:35:54 |teaching other people, when I'm investing my time, which I can't get
1874 |1873 |02:35:54 ~-~-> 02:35:58 |back, I'm pouring it into all of you, because I want you to have the lifestyle
1875 |1874 |02:35:58 ~-~-> 02:36:02 |that I have, even if you have half of what I have a quarter of it or just
1876 |1875 |02:36:02 ~-~-> 02:36:06 |better than you're at right now. That's a blessing, but it's going to come with
1877 |1876 |02:36:06 ~-~-> 02:36:11 |stress. And you've already been aware of what stress is in the world. But if
1878 |1877 |02:36:11 ~-~-> 02:36:18 |you've never traded with real money or had a large loss in trading, you have no
1879 |1878 |02:36:18 ~-~-> 02:36:23 |idea what anxiety and pressure is because if you keep introducing yourself
1880 |1879 |02:36:23 ~-~-> 02:36:27 |to this stressful environment, not knowing how to engage it, not knowing
1881 |1880 |02:36:27 ~-~-> 02:36:33 |how to wrestle your intrusive thoughts, you'll fall victim to things that could
1882 |1881 |02:36:33 ~-~-> 02:36:37 |otherwise be controlled. So let me paint a picture for you, and we'll start going
1883 |1882 |02:36:37 ~-~-> 02:36:42 |into some of these exercises, and I can get off here and check on my boy. Have
1884 |1883 |02:36:42 ~-~-> 02:36:47 |you ever watched the market, either in a trade or maybe, maybe it's not, let's
1885 |1884 |02:36:47 ~-~-> 02:36:53 |first say, let's keep it a broad brush. Example. Have you ever been in an
1886 |1885 |02:36:53 ~-~-> 02:36:58 |environment where you had a overwhelming out of a out of the blue, sudden sense
1887 |1886 |02:36:58 ~-~-> 02:37:03 |of impending doom, where you feel like you can't catch your breath, your heart
1888 |1887 |02:37:03 ~-~-> 02:37:07 |starts palpitating. I mean, it's quickly beating, and you don't know why it's
1889 |1888 |02:37:07 ~-~-> 02:37:12 |happening. And then you start thinking about how you feel scared all of a
1890 |1889 |02:37:12 ~-~-> 02:37:16 |sudden for no known reason that you're aware of. And then you feel like you
1891 |1890 |02:37:16 ~-~-> 02:37:20 |can't catch your breath. And then, because you're breathing faster and your
1892 |1891 |02:37:20 ~-~-> 02:37:23 |heart's beating, you might feel like you're seeing stars. You know you feel a
1893 |1892 |02:37:23 ~-~-> 02:37:28 |little bit dizzy, and you might feel like you want to either shit yourself
1894 |1893 |02:37:28 ~-~-> 02:37:35 |for lack of a better word, or pass out or throw up. And for me, that's how it
1895 |1894 |02:37:35 ~-~-> 02:37:38 |used to be when I was a younger man. I was like, What the hell's going on here?
1896 |1895 |02:37:38 ~-~-> 02:37:42 |And I as I felt that if I was in a public environment like at the time when
1897 |1896 |02:37:42 ~-~-> 02:37:48 |I was working as a young man, married to my first wife, I had to have a job. Back
1898 |1897 |02:37:48 ~-~-> 02:37:51 |then, I was going to school learning computer programming, and then I was
1899 |1898 |02:37:51 ~-~-> 02:37:55 |working a job, and I had very little time for her, and I knew that that was
1900 |1899 |02:37:55 ~-~-> 02:37:59 |waning on our relationship, and we were too young to have a relationship like
1901 |1900 |02:37:59 ~-~-> 02:38:05 |that, and we grew apart, but I was stressing that the whole time, and I was
1902 |1901 |02:38:05 ~-~-> 02:38:08 |worried about her leaving, I was worried about not being successful in what I was
1903 |1902 |02:38:08 ~-~-> 02:38:13 |learning, and I couldn't convince her to just wait. Trust me, I'm not going to be
1904 |1903 |02:38:13 ~-~-> 02:38:16 |lazy, I'm not going to be a bum, I'm not going to be laying around doing dumb
1905 |1904 |02:38:16 ~-~-> 02:38:20 |shit. I'm going to I'm going to show us a lifestyle that you can't even imagine.
1906 |1905 |02:38:20 ~-~-> 02:38:25 |I know it's coming, but you just gotta just give me the time to grow to it. She
1907 |1906 |02:38:25 ~-~-> 02:38:30 |wasn't willing to do that, so I would have anxiety attacks. And when she
1908 |1907 |02:38:30 ~-~-> 02:38:33 |separated in the first time with him, because he suffered several times, but
1909 |1908 |02:38:33 ~-~-> 02:38:38 |the first time I my body shut down like I was in full blown panic because I
1910 |1909 |02:38:38 ~-~-> 02:38:43 |couldn't cope without being in a relationship with her. I was codependent
1911 |1910 |02:38:43 ~-~-> 02:38:51 |to her. I I've made my whole being as Michael as her husband, and that's all I
1912 |1911 |02:38:51 ~-~-> 02:38:55 |was. And that's not healthy. That's not That's not good for someone. And if
1913 |1912 |02:38:55 ~-~-> 02:38:59 |you're in a relationship where that's how you view yourself, that's not,
1914 |1913 |02:38:59 ~-~-> 02:39:03 |that's not your intended purpose. There has to be something outside of just
1915 |1914 |02:39:03 ~-~-> 02:39:08 |that, otherwise it's not healthy. And you'll you'll never be fulfilled. I'm
1916 |1915 |02:39:08 ~-~-> 02:39:12 |not saying that you shouldn't be fulfilled by having a strong connection
1917 |1916 |02:39:12 ~-~-> 02:39:16 |to your spouse, but if that's all it is like, that's that's not enough. It's
1918 |1917 |02:39:16 ~-~-> 02:39:20 |never going to be enough, because you gotta be a mother, a father. You have to
1919 |1918 |02:39:20 ~-~-> 02:39:24 |have friends. You have to have interactions outside of the house. It's
1920 |1919 |02:39:24 ~-~-> 02:39:27 |not natural to not be social. We're social beings.
1921 |1920 |02:39:28 ~-~-> 02:39:33 |But if you can agree with me, take a step back and look at what social media
1922 |1921 |02:39:33 ~-~-> 02:39:39 |does. It's divisive. It keeps us in tribes, this tribe against that tribe,
1923 |1922 |02:39:39 ~-~-> 02:39:43 |this race against that race, this sex, against that sex. Now, we don't know
1924 |1923 |02:39:43 ~-~-> 02:39:48 |what sex is what now, because they're blending and blurring the lines, so it's
1925 |1924 |02:39:48 ~-~-> 02:39:52 |constantly causing chaos. And it's not a surprise why people are losing their
1926 |1925 |02:39:52 ~-~-> 02:39:55 |minds, because it's stressful. We don't even know who we are as a person
1927 |1926 |02:39:55 ~-~-> 02:40:02 |anymore, as a people, and now you're asking. These individuals that are
1928 |1927 |02:40:02 ~-~-> 02:40:07 |wrestling with all these problems, these wrestling matches internally, who they
1929 |1928 |02:40:07 ~-~-> 02:40:10 |are and what their identity is. Now they're going to go in here and compete
1930 |1929 |02:40:10 ~-~-> 02:40:14 |against the smartest people in the world, in the financial markets, and
1931 |1930 |02:40:14 ~-~-> 02:40:18 |they get the case that they ask when they don't find success right away. This
1932 |1931 |02:40:18 ~-~-> 02:40:24 |should have worked for me. Why? What did you do to earn it? What have you worked
1933 |1932 |02:40:24 ~-~-> 02:40:30 |for? What have you done to cultivate and shape your mind with the right mindset
1934 |1933 |02:40:30 ~-~-> 02:40:34 |so that way you can succeed? Or are you going to tap out to the pressures and
1935 |1934 |02:40:34 ~-~-> 02:40:38 |the stress it's going to bring on you, because it's going to bring stress every
1936 |1935 |02:40:38 ~-~-> 02:40:42 |single time you go into the marketplace, you're inviting that opportunity to
1937 |1936 |02:40:42 ~-~-> 02:40:46 |bring stress on if you lose money, that's not a fun thing. I've never
1938 |1937 |02:40:46 ~-~-> 02:40:51 |looked at and said, Man, that was the fastest $50,000 what the hell I do it
1939 |1938 |02:40:51 ~-~-> 02:40:57 |again? It's not what happens. That's not what happened. You're like shit. I wish
1940 |1939 |02:40:57 ~-~-> 02:41:01 |I wouldn't have done that. That would have been it would have been better if I
1941 |1940 |02:41:01 ~-~-> 02:41:04 |would have cut the trade sooner, or if I would have cut half the trade off. It
1942 |1941 |02:41:04 ~-~-> 02:41:08 |would have been as impactful as it was here. And you go back through the
1943 |1942 |02:41:08 ~-~-> 02:41:11 |process of knowing when you were getting that inclination while you're in the
1944 |1943 |02:41:11 ~-~-> 02:41:15 |trade, that was your first indication that something right. But what did you
1945 |1944 |02:41:15 ~-~-> 02:41:19 |do? I'm going to be stubborn. I'm right. It's not about being right. It's about
1946 |1945 |02:41:19 ~-~-> 02:41:23 |understanding what it's doing. It's giving you feedback. Price is telling
1947 |1946 |02:41:23 ~-~-> 02:41:29 |you something, but if you hide away from it, what will happen is your breathing
1948 |1947 |02:41:29 ~-~-> 02:41:38 |will start to increase, okay? And that elevated rhythm of breath, more breaths
1949 |1948 |02:41:38 ~-~-> 02:41:47 |than 10 or 11 per minute that is going to stimulate adrenaline once adrenaline
1950 |1949 |02:41:47 ~-~-> 02:41:50 |enters your body, which is a normal response. Don't ever think that you're
1951 |1950 |02:41:50 ~-~-> 02:41:55 |getting an adrenaline dump because you got scared or startled for a moment, but
1952 |1951 |02:41:55 ~-~-> 02:41:58 |that's a scary feeling. But when it first happens and you don't expect it,
1953 |1952 |02:42:00 ~-~-> 02:42:03 |it is a little unnerving, because you're like, Why do I feel like I'm racing, but
1954 |1953 |02:42:03 ~-~-> 02:42:07 |I'm sitting still like I feel like I gotta do something. I gotta run. I gotta
1955 |1954 |02:42:07 ~-~-> 02:42:10 |take care of something. I gotta escape this moment right here, and when I used
1956 |1955 |02:42:10 ~-~-> 02:42:15 |to work, that's what I would do. I would tell the supervisor, I would tell
1957 |1956 |02:42:15 ~-~-> 02:42:18 |whoever I was working with, or I would just get up and go to the bathroom, and
1958 |1957 |02:42:19 ~-~-> 02:42:23 |I would try to calm myself down by splashing cold water on my face. That
1959 |1958 |02:42:23 ~-~-> 02:42:25 |only works to some degree, and then that's it. But I wasn't able to
1960 |1959 |02:42:25 ~-~-> 02:42:31 |understand what I was doing to myself inside. I was feeding that anxiety. I
1961 |1960 |02:42:31 ~-~-> 02:42:35 |was feeding it toxic thoughts and what if and what if, and what if I'm dying?
1962 |1961 |02:42:35 ~-~-> 02:42:38 |What if this is a heart attack? What if it's a stroke and I'm in there by
1963 |1962 |02:42:38 ~-~-> 02:42:45 |myself, in a prison of my own mind, literally tormenting myself with
1964 |1963 |02:42:45 ~-~-> 02:42:50 |ignorance, not knowing what I was feeling was absolutely normal. Our
1965 |1964 |02:42:50 ~-~-> 02:42:56 |bodies were created to have a fight or flight response to stress or danger. We
1966 |1965 |02:42:56 ~-~-> 02:43:03 |have an anaphylamic Nervous System that is behind the scenes. It's running your
1967 |1966 |02:43:03 ~-~-> 02:43:08 |body, the breathing, the exhale and inhale. You're not consciously thinking
1968 |1967 |02:43:08 ~-~-> 02:43:14 |about breathing. It just happens. Your body knows what to do. But have you ever
1969 |1968 |02:43:14 ~-~-> 02:43:17 |had a moment where you feel like you don't know how to breathe anymore, like
1970 |1969 |02:43:17 ~-~-> 02:43:20 |I was mentioning earlier in the stream. My wife told me this the other day. She
1971 |1970 |02:43:20 ~-~-> 02:43:24 |was like, I don't have to describe it, but I feel like I forgot how to breathe.
1972 |1971 |02:43:24 ~-~-> 02:43:30 |Like I'm I gotta breathe deeper. I said, Okay, I know what you're describing.
1973 |1972 |02:43:31 ~-~-> 02:43:36 |What are you anxious about? She's, how'd you know? I said, because that only
1974 |1973 |02:43:36 ~-~-> 02:43:40 |happens by a fearful, triggering thought. You had an intrusive thought
1975 |1974 |02:43:40 ~-~-> 02:43:46 |into your mind, and you're scared about that, and you're not talking about it to
1976 |1975 |02:43:46 ~-~-> 02:43:51 |release it. You're not reminding yourself there's no emergency. So your
1977 |1976 |02:43:51 ~-~-> 02:43:55 |body is naturally responding to what you're fearfully thinking as an internal
1978 |1977 |02:43:55 ~-~-> 02:43:58 |loop going through your mind, constantly telling yourself to something bad's
1979 |1978 |02:43:58 ~-~-> 02:44:04 |about to happen. You know, we allowed our nieces to move in to our home, and
1980 |1979 |02:44:04 ~-~-> 02:44:09 |the older one has gone away to college. She's living on campus, and she was
1981 |1980 |02:44:09 ~-~-> 02:44:14 |fearful about something that was not likely to happen, but she was fearful of
1982 |1981 |02:44:14 ~-~-> 02:44:19 |it because she's no longer with us and she's on her own, and she had a little
1983 |1982 |02:44:19 ~-~-> 02:44:23 |bit of an anxiety attack, and she couldn't catch her breath. I walked her
1984 |1983 |02:44:23 ~-~-> 02:44:29 |through. I said, Listen, this is what you do. Okay? If you ever feel
1985 |1984 |02:44:29 ~-~-> 02:44:34 |discombobulated, if you are in public setting, if you're around people,
1986 |1985 |02:44:35 ~-~-> 02:44:40 |quietly and politely excuse yourself. Go to the restroom. Okay, if you have the
1987 |1986 |02:44:40 ~-~-> 02:44:43 |benefit of having your own office space where you're not around other people,
1988 |1987 |02:44:43 ~-~-> 02:44:47 |then you don't have to worry about this. But the first thing you do is recognize
1989 |1988 |02:44:47 ~-~-> 02:44:53 |that what you're feeling is just stress. That's all it is. And the first thing
1990 |1989 |02:44:53 ~-~-> 02:44:59 |you have to do audibly is say, look around, pan around where you're at and
1991 |1990 |02:44:59 ~-~-> 02:45:03 |tell yourself out. Loud, there is no emergency, there is no emergency, and
1992 |1991 |02:45:03 ~-~-> 02:45:07 |I'm not in any danger. I'm at home in myself right now. I'm exactly where I'm
1993 |1992 |02:45:07 ~-~-> 02:45:12 |supposed to be at and there is no emergency. What I'm feeling is
1994 |1993 |02:45:12 ~-~-> 02:45:17 |uncertainty about something I absolutely have no control over. So I do have
1995 |1994 |02:45:17 ~-~-> 02:45:22 |control over how I'm going to respond to it, and I'm choosing not to be fearful
1996 |1995 |02:45:22 ~-~-> 02:45:27 |of it. It sounds wooden, it sounds artificial. But you need to tell
1997 |1996 |02:45:27 ~-~-> 02:45:30 |yourself that, because when your subconscious mind hears you say that,
1998 |1997 |02:45:31 ~-~-> 02:45:37 |that's the first immediate response to activating your parasympathetic nervous
1999 |1998 |02:45:37 ~-~-> 02:45:43 |system, which is the part that allows you to rest and digest. The anatomic
2000 |1999 |02:45:43 ~-~-> 02:45:47 |nervous system is divided into two of them, okay, you have your sympathetic
2001 |2000 |02:45:47 ~-~-> 02:45:51 |nervous system and your parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous
2002 |2001 |02:45:51 ~-~-> 02:45:56 |system is what you have when you go into a fight or flight response, when your
2003 |2002 |02:45:56 ~-~-> 02:45:59 |heart rate increases, when your breathing increases, when your pupils
2004 |2003 |02:45:59 ~-~-> 02:46:04 |dilate, they dilate because your your body was created to allow more
2005 |2004 |02:46:04 ~-~-> 02:46:08 |information in. Because you're in, I need to protect myself, or I'm going to
2006 |2005 |02:46:08 ~-~-> 02:46:12 |likely die. That's what God has given you. Whether you want to acknowledge his
2007 |2006 |02:46:12 ~-~-> 02:46:15 |existence or not, you can turn off the stream. If that bothers you, I don't
2008 |2007 |02:46:15 ~-~-> 02:46:20 |care. But you were created to have this mechanism, and it runs behind the scene.
2009 |2008 |02:46:21 ~-~-> 02:46:24 |Anatomically, that means it's, it's it's going to do, it's going to do,
2010 |2009 |02:46:24 ~-~-> 02:46:28 |regardless of whether you're aware of it or not. And because stress is not
2011 |2010 |02:46:28 ~-~-> 02:46:32 |something that everybody expects to create physical symptoms the first time
2012 |2011 |02:46:32 ~-~-> 02:46:36 |it's a little scary, and when you're trading or you're in stressful
2013 |2012 |02:46:36 ~-~-> 02:46:41 |environments, you're constantly being bombarded with stimuli that's most
2014 |2013 |02:46:41 ~-~-> 02:46:45 |likely going to trigger these things happening. So if you've noticed that
2015 |2014 |02:46:45 ~-~-> 02:46:49 |your heart is beating faster than it should, or what you're used to seeing it
2016 |2015 |02:46:49 ~-~-> 02:46:53 |feel beating your chest. Maybe ever had it beating in your ear? You ever hear
2017 |2016 |02:46:53 ~-~-> 02:46:59 |your heartbeat? It's a little scary. First time it happens like what's going
2018 |2017 |02:46:59 ~-~-> 02:47:05 |on and you start breathing heavier, deeper than you need to if you're
2019 |2018 |02:47:05 ~-~-> 02:47:09 |breathing and you're if your chest is rising when you're breathing, you're
2020 |2019 |02:47:09 ~-~-> 02:47:16 |hyperventilating. That means you're taking in too much air and likely too
2021 |2020 |02:47:16 ~-~-> 02:47:23 |fast, and you're likely blowing off your CO two so what that does is it over
2022 |2021 |02:47:23 ~-~-> 02:47:28 |oxygenates your body's bloodstream, and when that's pumping adrenaline into your
2023 |2022 |02:47:28 ~-~-> 02:47:31 |bloodstream, which is a natural response, because your body's designed
2024 |2023 |02:47:31 ~-~-> 02:47:36 |to release adrenaline, and that's like rocket fuel. Okay? It is designed for
2025 |2024 |02:47:36 ~-~-> 02:47:41 |your heart to increase its pace, so that way it doesn't have to wait to catch up,
2026 |2025 |02:47:41 ~-~-> 02:47:45 |because if you have to run or fight, you're going to need blood in those
2027 |2026 |02:47:45 ~-~-> 02:47:51 |muscles to defend yourself or fight or run away from the danger. So it's
2028 |2027 |02:47:51 ~-~-> 02:47:55 |already kicking up the engine, which is your heart, to keep pumping new blood to
2029 |2028 |02:47:55 ~-~-> 02:48:00 |these muscles that's going to be required to perform. And your your body
2030 |2029 |02:48:00 ~-~-> 02:48:03 |is triggering your lungs to breathe in more oxygen, because you're going to be
2031 |2030 |02:48:03 ~-~-> 02:48:07 |burning more oxygen as you fight or run away from the danger. But what happens
2032 |2031 |02:48:07 ~-~-> 02:48:11 |when you're sitting still and you're feeling all these things, you're like a
2033 |2032 |02:48:11 ~-~-> 02:48:16 |Lamborghini sitting in park with the engine running, and someone's got their
2034 |2033 |02:48:16 ~-~-> 02:48:19 |foot on the gas pedal to the floor, sitting there. How long do you think
2035 |2034 |02:48:19 ~-~-> 02:48:24 |that's going to be good for the engine if that's going on not long. But that's
2036 |2035 |02:48:24 ~-~-> 02:48:27 |why you feel like I got to go, I got to run, I got to do something, because
2037 |2036 |02:48:27 ~-~-> 02:48:31 |that's what you're designed to do. Because you feel you've told yourself
2038 |2037 |02:48:31 ~-~-> 02:48:36 |internally that there's an emergency, there's a danger here, and it was
2039 |2038 |02:48:36 ~-~-> 02:48:43 |triggered by some intrusive thought that has become believed by you that it's a
2040 |2039 |02:48:43 ~-~-> 02:48:47 |danger, some kind of scary What if, thinking, What if I lose money? What if
2041 |2040 |02:48:47 ~-~-> 02:48:50 |this trade jumps back and hits my stop loss? What if the market crashes and
2042 |2041 |02:48:50 ~-~-> 02:48:54 |gaps through my trade? What happens if my wife leaves me? What happens if I get
2043 |2042 |02:48:54 ~-~-> 02:49:00 |fired? What happens if I don't get the promotion and Carl gets it? You know all
2044 |2043 |02:49:00 ~-~-> 02:49:04 |these things, these you don't have you don't have control over every outcome,
2045 |2044 |02:49:04 ~-~-> 02:49:08 |and you don't have control over the outcome of your next trade. The only
2046 |2045 |02:49:08 ~-~-> 02:49:14 |thing you have control over is how you feel and perform and how you react,
2047 |2046 |02:49:15 ~-~-> 02:49:17 |because once you place yourself in that trade,
2048 |2047 |02:49:18 ~-~-> 02:49:25 |you have given all of the outcome and permission to take or add to your
2049 |2048 |02:49:25 ~-~-> 02:49:32 |account, to the marketplace, you've lost all control over your equity, because
2050 |2049 |02:49:32 ~-~-> 02:49:37 |that stop loss, that stop loss might do its job if the market does trade to it
2051 |2050 |02:49:37 ~-~-> 02:49:40 |in a manner that's normal delivery. But what happens if there's an attack
2052 |2051 |02:49:40 ~-~-> 02:49:44 |somewhere in the market, gaps down 150 handles. You don't think that can
2053 |2052 |02:49:44 ~-~-> 02:49:52 |happen. You don't think it can happen just like that, because it can. That's
2054 |2053 |02:49:52 ~-~-> 02:49:55 |why I'm telling you. That's why I'm not trading Forex. That's why I felt second
2055 |2054 |02:49:55 ~-~-> 02:49:58 |guessing about going in and doing because I've already said I don't want
2056 |2055 |02:49:58 ~-~-> 02:50:03 |to be in forex and. I feel like if I talk about forex, I'm encouraging it
2057 |2056 |02:50:03 ~-~-> 02:50:08 |when I know what's about to come is not good. So just take my word for it, the
2058 |2057 |02:50:08 ~-~-> 02:50:14 |things I'm teaching when I'm talking over NASDAQ, unless it's something
2059 |2058 |02:50:14 ~-~-> 02:50:19 |specific to Forex, I'll tell you otherwise, it's both asset classes. I
2060 |2059 |02:50:19 ~-~-> 02:50:23 |don't know how to say it better than I want to be responsible as a mentor, and
2061 |2060 |02:50:23 ~-~-> 02:50:26 |I know that's not going to be liked by people that you know follow me, because
2062 |2061 |02:50:26 ~-~-> 02:50:30 |they're just simply forex traders. I'm okay if that wants, if you want to end
2063 |2062 |02:50:30 ~-~-> 02:50:34 |our relationship between teacher and student because of that, you can get a
2064 |2063 |02:50:34 ~-~-> 02:50:37 |case today, as every day, you're welcome to do that. It's not going to change who
2065 |2064 |02:50:37 ~-~-> 02:50:40 |I am. It's not going to make me angry, it's not going to hurt my feelings, but
2066 |2065 |02:50:40 ~-~-> 02:50:43 |I got to be comfortable in my own skin. And I've warned people about being in
2067 |2066 |02:50:43 ~-~-> 02:50:48 |forex for a number of years, and look how it's been trading. It's just, it's
2068 |2067 |02:50:48 ~-~-> 02:50:53 |just, it's not the same as the indices. It's not the same as commodity markets.
2069 |2068 |02:50:53 ~-~-> 02:50:58 |That's why I went back to them. I'm comfortable there. Okay, I know that
2070 |2069 |02:50:58 ~-~-> 02:51:03 |there's a big shake up coming. Something massive is coming. It's going to rock
2071 |2070 |02:51:03 ~-~-> 02:51:08 |the financial markets. I want to be trading markets that are where I started
2072 |2071 |02:51:08 ~-~-> 02:51:12 |I had the most experience with, I believe in these markets and currencies
2073 |2072 |02:51:12 ~-~-> 02:51:15 |are going to be affected, because there's going to be a change in the
2074 |2073 |02:51:15 ~-~-> 02:51:19 |monetary system globally. And I don't know how else to say other than that,
2075 |2074 |02:51:19 ~-~-> 02:51:22 |okay, but if you ever had those sensations where you have this
2076 |2075 |02:51:22 ~-~-> 02:51:26 |quickening of breathing, heart palpitations when it's beating real
2077 |2076 |02:51:26 ~-~-> 02:51:29 |aggressive and fast, you feel sick to your stomach, you feel like you're going
2078 |2077 |02:51:29 ~-~-> 02:51:32 |to pass out, you feel dizzy. You say if you're going to mess yourself, you know?
2079 |2078 |02:51:32 ~-~-> 02:51:35 |And how embarrassing would that be? Right? And that's what I would tell
2080 |2079 |02:51:35 ~-~-> 02:51:39 |myself. I'm like, I'm at work. I'm around all these people that I work
2081 |2080 |02:51:39 ~-~-> 02:51:41 |around. How embarrassing if I shit myself in front of people. What happens
2082 |2081 |02:51:41 ~-~-> 02:51:44 |if I throw up and or pass throw up and or pass out in front of them? How
2083 |2082 |02:51:44 ~-~-> 02:51:48 |embarrassing would that be? Not that this is potentially a medical emergency.
2084 |2083 |02:51:49 ~-~-> 02:51:52 |I could be dying. I didn't think that initially, I was embarrassed about if I
2085 |2084 |02:51:52 ~-~-> 02:51:55 |lost control of my Biles, if I had lost control of what I had my stomach and
2086 |2085 |02:51:55 ~-~-> 02:51:58 |threw up in front of someone or passed out. I've never been drunk before. I've
2087 |2086 |02:51:58 ~-~-> 02:52:04 |never drank alcohol. I've never done drugs before. I had CBD oil when my back
2088 |2087 |02:52:04 ~-~-> 02:52:07 |was doing its worst in terms of back spasms and pain because I have a
2089 |2088 |02:52:07 ~-~-> 02:52:12 |compression injury. But I've never done any other drugs, ever, never. I've never
2090 |2089 |02:52:12 ~-~-> 02:52:17 |been inebriated. I've never been in an altered state. CBD oil, with the THC
2091 |2090 |02:52:17 ~-~-> 02:52:21 |allowed me to relax in a manner I've never relaxed before, and I only used it
2092 |2091 |02:52:21 ~-~-> 02:52:24 |for a year and a half, and I've never used it since. It's been years since
2093 |2092 |02:52:24 ~-~-> 02:52:29 |I've used it. So I don't take any kind of stimulant, I don't take any kind of
2094 |2093 |02:52:33 ~-~-> 02:52:41 |mind altering thing, and I don't drink coffee, I don't drink soda, I don't
2095 |2094 |02:52:41 ~-~-> 02:52:44 |smoke cigarettes, I don't smoke marijuana, I don't do any of those
2096 |2095 |02:52:44 ~-~-> 02:52:51 |things. And you might do those things recreationally, and I'm not going to
2097 |2096 |02:52:51 ~-~-> 02:52:55 |judge you for it, but I will say that if you're drinking things that are
2098 |2097 |02:52:55 ~-~-> 02:53:00 |caffeinated, and you're trading you're greatly increasing the likelihood of you
2099 |2098 |02:53:00 ~-~-> 02:53:05 |having unnecessary levels of stress, and what will happen is you will get you'll
2100 |2099 |02:53:05 ~-~-> 02:53:11 |get accustomed to it. Okay. And high blood pressure, you don't necessarily
2101 |2100 |02:53:11 ~-~-> 02:53:15 |feel it in the early stages of it, like stage one, hypertension, you generally
2102 |2101 |02:53:15 ~-~-> 02:53:22 |don't feel that. Stage Two, you might, maybe not, but that is really hard on
2103 |2102 |02:53:22 ~-~-> 02:53:26 |your body. And if you're constantly giving yourself that Monday through
2104 |2103 |02:53:26 ~-~-> 02:53:32 |Friday every single day, you can eat well, you can exercise. You could avoid
2105 |2104 |02:53:32 ~-~-> 02:53:36 |all these drugs and alcohol and do all those things. But guess what you're
2106 |2105 |02:53:36 ~-~-> 02:53:41 |doing? You're tearing up your body because you're in a heightened state of
2107 |2106 |02:53:41 ~-~-> 02:53:46 |panic, fight or flight, you're in war mode. If you are feeling heart
2108 |2107 |02:53:46 ~-~-> 02:53:51 |palpitations when you're trading, your chances are you're over leveraging, or
2109 |2108 |02:53:52 ~-~-> 02:53:59 |you're not trading with a model that you trust, and you're just chasing price. If
2110 |2109 |02:53:59 ~-~-> 02:54:01 |you're all hopped up on goofballs, chances are, if you took your blood
2111 |2110 |02:54:01 ~-~-> 02:54:08 |pressure, it's probably sky high. Don't believe me, get yourself one on Amazon.
2112 |2111 |02:54:08 ~-~-> 02:54:12 |It's real simple. Just get it, plug it in, put the batteries in it, put your
2113 |2112 |02:54:12 ~-~-> 02:54:15 |arm up on the table, let it. Do it. Do your blood pressure when you first wake
2114 |2113 |02:54:15 ~-~-> 02:54:21 |up in the morning, and then do it right when you started trading. Do it, and
2115 |2114 |02:54:22 ~-~-> 02:54:25 |you're going to find something that's going on that's a physiological response
2116 |2115 |02:54:25 ~-~-> 02:54:30 |that you weren't aware of. And you're constantly putting yourself in that
2117 |2116 |02:54:30 ~-~-> 02:54:36 |state of stressful thinking, stressful outcomes being measured as I got to be
2118 |2117 |02:54:36 ~-~-> 02:54:40 |right or wrong, I got to be profitable or protect what I have. I don't want to
2119 |2118 |02:54:40 ~-~-> 02:54:44 |lose more money. I don't want to lose money. And you're looking at a chart
2120 |2119 |02:54:44 ~-~-> 02:54:47 |fluctuating up and down, and chances are you have no idea what you're doing. You
2121 |2120 |02:54:47 ~-~-> 02:54:51 |have no logic behind why you're watching those charts. You're hoping and praying.
2122 |2121 |02:54:51 ~-~-> 02:54:57 |And that's not a model, that's not a model, but you see people out there
2123 |2122 |02:54:57 ~-~-> 02:55:00 |trying to do that all the time, and you have problems. We've been doing that
2124 |2123 |02:55:00 ~-~-> 02:55:05 |too, and it's not comfortable. Is it not knowing what you're doing. It's scary.
2125 |2124 |02:55:05 ~-~-> 02:55:09 |So what happens when you start feeling that? How can you combat that? How can
2126 |2125 |02:55:09 ~-~-> 02:55:12 |you wrestle with it? If it's not in trading it just happens to be in any
2127 |2126 |02:55:12 ~-~-> 02:55:14 |other given time, because if you probably had an anxiety attack or
2128 |2127 |02:55:14 ~-~-> 02:55:20 |experienced these things before, it's amazing, if nothing continues to scare
2129 |2128 |02:55:20 ~-~-> 02:55:23 |you, usually about 10 to 15 minutes later, you're fine, and you're thinking
2130 |2129 |02:55:23 ~-~-> 02:55:28 |yourself, wow, what was that? It's anxiety. You got to the point where
2131 |2130 |02:55:28 ~-~-> 02:55:32 |adrenaline was released in your bloodstream, which is a natural thing.
2132 |2131 |02:55:32 ~-~-> 02:55:36 |That's a natural thing. You should be thankful that you're given that ability,
2133 |2132 |02:55:36 ~-~-> 02:55:40 |because it enables you to be stronger, faster, more responsive and reactive to
2134 |2133 |02:55:40 ~-~-> 02:55:51 |dangers. But how do you get back to a regulated nervous system where you're
2135 |2134 |02:55:51 ~-~-> 02:55:55 |comfortable, where you can digest food and rest? Because if you're anxious, you
2136 |2135 |02:55:55 ~-~-> 02:56:00 |can't sleep. When you're anxious, your food doesn't digest. Well, that's why
2137 |2136 |02:56:00 ~-~-> 02:56:04 |you have a nervous stomach. You're the term, oh, I have a nervous stomach. And
2138 |2137 |02:56:04 ~-~-> 02:56:08 |you ate something that's probably healthy, but you may have diarrhea, you
2139 |2138 |02:56:08 ~-~-> 02:56:13 |may have a constipation going on, because when you are staying in this
2140 |2139 |02:56:13 ~-~-> 02:56:18 |condition of fight or flight, which is where your sympathetic nervous system
2141 |2140 |02:56:18 ~-~-> 02:56:24 |has been turned on, it's real easy to turn that on because it's fear induced.
2142 |2141 |02:56:26 ~-~-> 02:56:30 |If you keep doing that, if you keep allowing stressful environments to
2143 |2142 |02:56:30 ~-~-> 02:56:34 |stimulate that aspect of your nervous system, what will happen is it gets
2144 |2143 |02:56:34 ~-~-> 02:56:39 |caught in a loop, and you stay in this loop where you have an elevated blood
2145 |2144 |02:56:39 ~-~-> 02:56:45 |pressure, you have an elevated heart rate, you have elevated inhalation and
2146 |2145 |02:56:45 ~-~-> 02:56:49 |breath, so you're constantly feeding yourself levels of toxicity that you're
2147 |2146 |02:56:49 ~-~-> 02:56:55 |not able to burn off if you feel anxious, if it starts off like that and
2148 |2147 |02:56:55 ~-~-> 02:56:58 |it hasn't released cortisol. And I'll tell you what that means and how you
2149 |2148 |02:56:58 ~-~-> 02:57:01 |know when it's done that in a moment. But let me get through this part first.
2150 |2149 |02:57:01 ~-~-> 02:57:04 |The first thing you do is look around where you're at and you tell yourself
2151 |2150 |02:57:04 ~-~-> 02:57:10 |out loud, I am safe and there is no emergency. I'm absolutely safe in my own
2152 |2151 |02:57:10 ~-~-> 02:57:15 |skin, comfortable, and I'm right where I need to be. There is no emergency, and I
2153 |2152 |02:57:15 ~-~-> 02:57:20 |am just feeling the symptoms of a intrusive thought, and I am choosing not
2154 |2153 |02:57:20 ~-~-> 02:57:25 |to be fearful. What your subconscious is going to hear and it's going to draw
2155 |2154 |02:57:25 ~-~-> 02:57:30 |from. This is, Oh, okay. This is just like anything else. This is a jump
2156 |2155 |02:57:30 ~-~-> 02:57:35 |scare. So turn everything back to normal. And your parasympathetic nervous
2157 |2156 |02:57:35 ~-~-> 02:57:39 |system, where you go back to normal relaxation, the normal functions of
2158 |2157 |02:57:39 ~-~-> 02:57:42 |everyday life, where you can fall asleep if you sit still long enough, and you
2159 |2158 |02:57:42 ~-~-> 02:57:46 |can digest your food if you eat something. That's the normal functions
2160 |2159 |02:57:46 ~-~-> 02:57:52 |of your body when it's not in fight or flight. But what happens if that isn't
2161 |2160 |02:57:52 ~-~-> 02:57:57 |enough, well, that means you probably have adrenaline coursing through your
2162 |2161 |02:57:57 ~-~-> 02:58:02 |body, so you have to find yourself a way to burn that off. The easiest way to do
2163 |2162 |02:58:02 ~-~-> 02:58:06 |that is just simply take a walk. It doesn't need to be a fast paced walk,
2164 |2163 |02:58:06 ~-~-> 02:58:10 |just walk. But what happens if you work at a cubicle and you can't get up and
2165 |2164 |02:58:10 ~-~-> 02:58:13 |just walk, because that's going to draw attention to yourself. You're expected
2166 |2165 |02:58:13 ~-~-> 02:58:18 |to be in your cubicle doing something. Okay? Then you simply do body tension,
2167 |2166 |02:58:18 ~-~-> 02:58:21 |where you try to flex all of your muscles at the same time, and you
2168 |2167 |02:58:21 ~-~-> 02:58:26 |squeeze that for as long as you can, until fatigue and you just relax when
2169 |2168 |02:58:26 ~-~-> 02:58:29 |you stop squeezing all your muscles. That means tightening your biceps,
2170 |2169 |02:58:29 ~-~-> 02:58:33 |squeezing your fists, squeezing your thighs, squeezing your ass, like
2171 |2170 |02:58:33 ~-~-> 02:58:38 |everything in your body, squeeze your lats, your pecs, hold that tension up to
2172 |2171 |02:58:38 ~-~-> 02:58:44 |two minutes, and then at the end of two minutes, slowly, release everything, as
2173 |2172 |02:58:44 ~-~-> 02:58:48 |slow as you can possibly do it. Slowly do it the whole time you're taking
2174 |2173 |02:58:48 ~-~-> 02:58:53 |relaxed breathing, not trying to count anything. You're just doing relaxed
2175 |2174 |02:58:53 ~-~-> 02:58:56 |breathing, because your focus is going to be on the the ability of holding your
2176 |2175 |02:58:56 ~-~-> 02:59:00 |muscles tight. What that does? It blocks the intrusive thoughts. That means that
2177 |2176 |02:59:00 ~-~-> 02:59:04 |you can't think about anything else, except for the constant tension in your
2178 |2177 |02:59:04 ~-~-> 02:59:04 |body.
2179 |2178 |02:59:05 ~-~-> 02:59:09 |Your anxiety attack was triggered by a would have thought, what if this
2180 |2179 |02:59:09 ~-~-> 02:59:12 |happens? What if that happens? Nothing physically was there threatening you? Is
2181 |2180 |02:59:12 ~-~-> 02:59:16 |this something that you thought about scary that you know deep down inside you
2182 |2181 |02:59:16 ~-~-> 02:59:19 |have no control over, and that scared you, and you're afraid of the outcome
2183 |2182 |02:59:19 ~-~-> 02:59:24 |being adverse to you so you combat that by subduing your thought, replacing it
2184 |2183 |02:59:24 ~-~-> 02:59:27 |with something positive. You're not going to get hurt by holding your
2185 |2184 |02:59:27 ~-~-> 02:59:31 |muscles tensed, clenched up for two minutes. It's actually going to help
2186 |2185 |02:59:31 ~-~-> 02:59:36 |your blood pressure lower down, and it's going to replace that intrusive thought
2187 |2186 |02:59:36 ~-~-> 02:59:39 |or repeating loop of scary thinking. And what if thinking to you constantly
2188 |2187 |02:59:39 ~-~-> 02:59:42 |thinking about, Okay, I'm keeping my laps tight. I'm squeezing my pecs. I'm
2189 |2188 |02:59:42 ~-~-> 02:59:45 |squeezing my biceps. My forearm muscles are squeezing. I'm squeezing my fists as
2190 |2189 |02:59:45 ~-~-> 02:59:49 |hard as I can. I'm squeezing my thighs, I'm squeezing my calf, I'm flexing
2191 |2190 |02:59:49 ~-~-> 02:59:53 |everything, and it's a fatiguing thing, and that's how you burn the adrenaline
2192 |2191 |02:59:53 ~-~-> 03:00:01 |off. It only takes a couple minutes, but there is. A stage that goes past that,
2193 |2192 |03:00:02 ~-~-> 03:00:08 |where you stay in that fight or flight thought process in anxiety, and it turns
2194 |2193 |03:00:08 ~-~-> 03:00:14 |into full blown panic. A panic attack is when Cortisol is released. That's your
2195 |2194 |03:00:14 ~-~-> 03:00:21 |stress hormone. Your body releases this chemical in your body to compensate for
2196 |2195 |03:00:21 ~-~-> 03:00:26 |high levels of stress, and when it's released in your bloodstream, it lays
2197 |2196 |03:00:26 ~-~-> 03:00:31 |down cholesterol in your arteries. That's the way it protects the arteries,
2198 |2197 |03:00:31 ~-~-> 03:00:37 |because it's toxic if you don't burn through it by running and fighting and
2199 |2198 |03:00:37 ~-~-> 03:00:41 |doing what's been given to you as a superhuman characteristic, it's your
2200 |2199 |03:00:41 ~-~-> 03:00:45 |mutant power. Everybody has this in our cells, but if you don't use it
2201 |2200 |03:00:45 ~-~-> 03:00:49 |appropriately, it's like that Lamborghini sitting in the garage with
2202 |2201 |03:00:49 ~-~-> 03:00:52 |the engine running, and you got the gas pedal all the way through, the engine's
2203 |2202 |03:00:52 ~-~-> 03:00:57 |going to be streaming, but it's going nowhere. That's what a panic attack is.
2204 |2203 |03:00:57 ~-~-> 03:01:01 |Your body saying, let's go. Let's do something, fight or let's get the hell
2205 |2204 |03:01:01 ~-~-> 03:01:05 |out of here, but you're sitting still not knowing what's going on, and you're
2206 |2205 |03:01:05 ~-~-> 03:01:08 |going to be in front of your charts, and you're going to have this happen one
2207 |2206 |03:01:09 ~-~-> 03:01:14 |day, and as soon as you start feeling body symptoms, that's when you know
2208 |2207 |03:01:14 ~-~-> 03:01:19 |you're at the early stages of full blown panic. What does it feel like? You'll
2209 |2208 |03:01:19 ~-~-> 03:01:22 |start feeling tingling in your face. When I would have it, it would always
2210 |2209 |03:01:22 ~-~-> 03:01:28 |start with my left eyebrow towards the end the edge of my face. It would start
2211 |2210 |03:01:28 ~-~-> 03:01:31 |like a tingling that would go down that right underneath my left eye, and then
2212 |2211 |03:01:31 ~-~-> 03:01:35 |go down to my upper lip and down into my chin. So naturally, what am I thinking?
2213 |2212 |03:01:35 ~-~-> 03:01:41 |I'm having a stroke. I'm having a stroke, and I would get up, I'm in a
2214 |2213 |03:01:41 ~-~-> 03:01:46 |trade. I'm like, What the fuck is going on? What am I doing here? And then I'm
2215 |2214 |03:01:46 ~-~-> 03:01:51 |telling myself, there's something scary. So what is that? I'm feeding it right?
2216 |2215 |03:01:51 ~-~-> 03:01:55 |So I have adrenaline coursing through my body. I have now cortisol releasing in
2217 |2216 |03:01:55 ~-~-> 03:02:01 |my body, and now I'm feeling physical body symptoms, and it's scaring me. And
2218 |2217 |03:02:01 ~-~-> 03:02:05 |I'm telling myself I'm having a stroke. So what do you think my brain's saying?
2219 |2218 |03:02:05 ~-~-> 03:02:09 |Shit, we are having a stroke. We got to do something. What do we do? I don't
2220 |2219 |03:02:09 ~-~-> 03:02:12 |know, but let's keep pumping all these chemicals, because we have to fight or
2221 |2220 |03:02:12 ~-~-> 03:02:19 |flight. You can't run from a stroke. You can't run from a heart attack. But I was
2222 |2221 |03:02:19 ~-~-> 03:02:24 |feeding my brain. Something terrible is happening. To me. Something terrible is
2223 |2222 |03:02:24 ~-~-> 03:02:28 |about to happen to me. So you're feeding all that stuff. So as soon as you start
2224 |2223 |03:02:28 ~-~-> 03:02:33 |feeling body symptoms, you might start seeing stars, like sleep, like the
2225 |2224 |03:02:33 ~-~-> 03:02:37 |little squiggly things that go around in your eyes. That's if you ever watch a
2226 |2225 |03:02:37 ~-~-> 03:02:41 |cartoon where the Tom and Jerry, Jerry would hit the cat over top the head, and
2227 |2226 |03:02:41 ~-~-> 03:02:45 |Tommy like, oh shit. And you see little stars, or little birds flying around, as
2228 |2227 |03:02:45 ~-~-> 03:02:50 |a cartoon analogy to seeing stars. If you turn your head real far to the right
2229 |2228 |03:02:50 ~-~-> 03:02:53 |or left and hold it there and then quickly turn it back, chances are you'll
2230 |2229 |03:02:53 ~-~-> 03:02:57 |probably see stars, because you're constricting the blood vessels inside
2231 |2230 |03:02:57 ~-~-> 03:03:00 |your neck and then you're quickly bringing it back to the front, you'll
2232 |2231 |03:03:00 ~-~-> 03:03:04 |see stars, or if you get dizzy, you feel like you're woozy, or whatever. That's
2233 |2232 |03:03:04 ~-~-> 03:03:08 |usually also a symptom when Cortisol is released in your bloodstream, and that's
2234 |2233 |03:03:08 ~-~-> 03:03:13 |an effect of you sitting still when you are in full blown panic, and you need to
2235 |2234 |03:03:13 ~-~-> 03:03:19 |be doing something, walk, body tension, but you absolutely have to. Now, at this
2236 |2235 |03:03:19 ~-~-> 03:03:25 |point, you have to start changing and regulating your breath with adrenaline.
2237 |2236 |03:03:25 ~-~-> 03:03:29 |It's just a time thing. It'll burn off. But when you start feeling body symptoms
2238 |2237 |03:03:29 ~-~-> 03:03:32 |of, I feel like I'm gonna be sick. I feel like I'm gonna be passing out, like
2239 |2238 |03:03:32 ~-~-> 03:03:40 |I'm gonna shit myself. I feel like I'm gonna, you know, die, basically the way
2240 |2239 |03:03:40 ~-~-> 03:03:46 |you capture that and subdue it is again, say out loud that there is no emergency.
2241 |2240 |03:03:46 ~-~-> 03:03:50 |I choose not to be afraid, and all I'm doing is responding, and my body's
2242 |2241 |03:03:50 ~-~-> 03:03:54 |responding to a scary thought. There is no emergency. I'm safe where I'm at. I
2243 |2242 |03:03:54 ~-~-> 03:04:00 |choose not to be afraid. And when you do this, your subconscious hears that, it
2244 |2243 |03:04:00 ~-~-> 03:04:04 |starts the process of activating your parasympathetic nervous system. That
2245 |2244 |03:04:04 ~-~-> 03:04:10 |means that it's going to go through your brain, down your vagus nerve, which is
2246 |2245 |03:04:10 ~-~-> 03:04:14 |the longest nerve in your body. It goes down from the stem of the brain, down
2247 |2246 |03:04:14 ~-~-> 03:04:17 |both sides of your neck, behind the carotid artery on both sides or behind
2248 |2247 |03:04:17 ~-~-> 03:04:22 |your ears. Draw drops down behind your collarbones. It literally attaches to
2249 |2248 |03:04:22 ~-~-> 03:04:28 |every major organ, to your heart, to your lungs, liver, kidneys, all the way
2250 |2249 |03:04:28 ~-~-> 03:04:34 |through it, okay, into your into your colon. If you're in full blown panic,
2251 |2250 |03:04:35 ~-~-> 03:04:40 |say you're in a cubicle and add more confusion or attention to yourself,
2252 |2251 |03:04:40 ~-~-> 03:04:43 |because that's making also a source of anxiety, because you don't want people
2253 |2252 |03:04:43 ~-~-> 03:04:46 |thinking you're losing your mind if you're crazy, because you're going to
2254 |2253 |03:04:46 ~-~-> 03:04:50 |feel like you are, like you're you're at your wit's end. You feel like it's going
2255 |2254 |03:04:50 ~-~-> 03:04:54 |to unravel. It's a scary, sickening feeling, but it's a normal feeling. I
2256 |2255 |03:04:54 ~-~-> 03:04:58 |want you to know that it's a normal response to stress, if you let it go
2257 |2256 |03:04:58 ~-~-> 03:05:04 |unchecked, the. What you're feeling is absolutely normal, and it's something
2258 |2257 |03:05:04 ~-~-> 03:05:10 |that you can quickly reset. I'm gonna teach it to you now, okay, when we're
2259 |2258 |03:05:10 ~-~-> 03:05:14 |breathing normally, we're not thinking about it. We don't think about our
2260 |2259 |03:05:14 ~-~-> 03:05:19 |breath. It just happens. But when you enter stressful environments, or you're
2261 |2260 |03:05:19 ~-~-> 03:05:24 |trying to combat stress, becoming a panic attack, or if you are in a panic
2262 |2261 |03:05:24 ~-~-> 03:05:29 |attack, this is your first skill set. You've already said to yourself, there's
2263 |2262 |03:05:29 ~-~-> 03:05:32 |no emergency, and you're choosing not to be afraid, and you're comfortable where
2264 |2263 |03:05:32 ~-~-> 03:05:36 |you are and you're safe. You have to say it audibly. You can't say it in your
2265 |2264 |03:05:36 ~-~-> 03:05:41 |head. You got to say it out loud. If you can't do that, try to excuse yourself to
2266 |2265 |03:05:41 ~-~-> 03:05:45 |the bathroom where you feel comfortable doing it. It only takes a couple minutes
2267 |2266 |03:05:45 ~-~-> 03:05:51 |to get yourself regulated. Okay, so the first thing you want to do is, if you
2268 |2267 |03:05:51 ~-~-> 03:05:54 |have your phone or if you have a watch, it's better to have like a sweep second
2269 |2268 |03:05:54 ~-~-> 03:05:57 |hand on your watch. Anybody with a digital watch today's immediate you
2270 |2269 |03:05:57 ~-~-> 03:06:01 |should always have a nice Swiss piece and put a sweep second hand on it. If
2271 |2270 |03:06:01 ~-~-> 03:06:06 |you don't have that on your phone, just turn on the timer, and you need a
2272 |2271 |03:06:06 ~-~-> 03:06:11 |minimum of one minute. So what you're going to do is, is you're going to sit
2273 |2272 |03:06:11 ~-~-> 03:06:17 |still, okay, and you're going to try to relax and put your fingers on your wrist
2274 |2273 |03:06:17 ~-~-> 03:06:20 |and find your pulse. Chances are it's going to be going real, real fast.
2275 |2274 |03:06:22 ~-~-> 03:06:26 |You're not trying to tell yourself it's too fast, you're not trying to
2276 |2275 |03:06:26 ~-~-> 03:06:29 |acknowledge that it's too fast, but you're going to feel that it's probably
2277 |2276 |03:06:29 ~-~-> 03:06:33 |elevated. That's a normal thing. That's not something dangerous. It feels like
2278 |2277 |03:06:33 ~-~-> 03:06:37 |it's dangerous, it feels scary, but it's absolutely normal. I used to freak out
2279 |2278 |03:06:37 ~-~-> 03:06:40 |when I was checking my pulse, and I would go through this coping skill and
2280 |2279 |03:06:40 ~-~-> 03:06:43 |it scared me. And I'm telling you, there's no reason for you to be afraid
2281 |2280 |03:06:43 ~-~-> 03:06:48 |of it. It's your body doing what it's designed to do protect you. Okay, so,
2282 |2281 |03:06:48 ~-~-> 03:06:52 |because I'm right handed, I would take my two fingers, my index and my middle
2283 |2282 |03:06:52 ~-~-> 03:06:56 |finger, and I would find my pulse on my left wrist, and it would be tacking
2284 |2283 |03:06:56 ~-~-> 03:07:04 |away, and then I would watch the sweep second hand on my watch. If I don't have
2285 |2284 |03:07:04 ~-~-> 03:07:09 |this on me, I'm watching a digital counter of a timer. And because I was
2286 |2285 |03:07:09 ~-~-> 03:07:14 |more prone to have pack attacks, I literally had a sports stopwatch that I
2287 |2286 |03:07:14 ~-~-> 03:07:17 |literally had that was like one of my little comfort things. Like I asked one
2288 |2287 |03:07:17 ~-~-> 03:07:20 |time before, do you ever fidget when you're trading? There was a thing couple
2289 |2288 |03:07:20 ~-~-> 03:07:24 |years ago, fidget spinner. I have a deck of cards. A deck of cards helps me keep
2290 |2289 |03:07:24 ~-~-> 03:07:29 |my focus on something external, from Christ. If I'm in a very large position,
2291 |2290 |03:07:30 ~-~-> 03:07:34 |the way I the way I manage that is I don't think about the money. I'm
2292 |2291 |03:07:34 ~-~-> 03:07:37 |thinking about the cards. The deck of cards in my hand and I riffle through
2293 |2292 |03:07:37 ~-~-> 03:07:39 |the car. You probably heard them in live streams, or you probably heard them in
2294 |2293 |03:07:39 ~-~-> 03:07:43 |old Twitter spaces, you hear this riffling sound that's just simply me
2295 |2294 |03:07:43 ~-~-> 03:07:47 |riffling my thumb down the side of the deck. What you're doing is you're
2296 |2295 |03:07:47 ~-~-> 03:07:50 |distracting yourself by checking your pulse, and then you're going to count
2297 |2296 |03:07:51 ~-~-> 03:07:57 |the beats of your pulse for a minimum of one minute. So you find the first beat,
2298 |2297 |03:07:57 ~-~-> 03:08:01 |and you count that, and you keep counting until this one full minute has
2299 |2298 |03:08:01 ~-~-> 03:08:06 |gone by. What you're doing is you're taking your attention away from whatever
2300 |2299 |03:08:06 ~-~-> 03:08:10 |intrusive thought that's scary would have thinking you can't think that right
2301 |2300 |03:08:10 ~-~-> 03:08:14 |now. You can't it's impossible for you to have two thoughts in your head at the
2302 |2301 |03:08:14 ~-~-> 03:08:19 |same time. It's impossible. So you have to separate yourself at that minimum of
2303 |2302 |03:08:19 ~-~-> 03:08:24 |one minute. Now it may take a little bit longer than one minute, but at least in
2304 |2303 |03:08:24 ~-~-> 03:08:28 |one minute, that activates your parasympathetic nervous system. That
2305 |2304 |03:08:28 ~-~-> 03:08:34 |means it's going to slowly restore back to rest or digest, or rest and digest
2306 |2305 |03:08:34 ~-~-> 03:08:38 |where your body is normalized. It's regulated your nervous system. You're
2307 |2306 |03:08:38 ~-~-> 03:08:42 |not in panic mode. If you're in a trading environment that you're
2308 |2307 |03:08:42 ~-~-> 03:08:45 |constantly you're constantly putting yourself in fearful of, you're probably
2309 |2308 |03:08:45 ~-~-> 03:08:52 |stuck in a deregulated nervous system. That means you're constantly in a fight
2310 |2309 |03:08:52 ~-~-> 03:08:57 |or flight, and you'll know that because of how you feel when you're done, when
2311 |2310 |03:08:57 ~-~-> 03:09:02 |you leave trading. Are you exhausted? Are you completely wiped out? You've
2312 |2311 |03:09:02 ~-~-> 03:09:03 |worn out.
2313 |2312 |03:09:04 ~-~-> 03:09:09 |Chances are you were in this heightened state of fight or flight. That means
2314 |2313 |03:09:09 ~-~-> 03:09:12 |your sympathetic nervous system has been activated and you have been looping
2315 |2314 |03:09:12 ~-~-> 03:09:16 |through that. Your heart rate's been probably elevated the entire time. You
2316 |2315 |03:09:16 ~-~-> 03:09:19 |probably had high blood pressure the entire time. You've probably been in a
2317 |2316 |03:09:19 ~-~-> 03:09:24 |elevated respiratory cycle, where you're breathing too much air, and while you're
2318 |2317 |03:09:24 ~-~-> 03:09:28 |watching the one minute transpire and you're counting the beats of your heart,
2319 |2318 |03:09:29 ~-~-> 03:09:36 |the only thing you can think of is keeping track of the counting describe
2320 |2319 |03:09:36 ~-~-> 03:09:43 |the color of your car And what model and make it is while you're counting your
2321 |2320 |03:09:43 ~-~-> 03:09:48 |pulse. Can you do that? Nobody fucking can. That's proof that you can't have an
2322 |2321 |03:09:48 ~-~-> 03:09:52 |intrusive thought. So by counting the beats of your pulse while you're
2323 |2322 |03:09:52 ~-~-> 03:09:56 |watching one minute transpire, you're physically separating yourself from
2324 |2323 |03:09:56 ~-~-> 03:10:00 |intrusive, scary thoughts. That's what started the Pentagon. That that's what
2325 |2324 |03:10:00 ~-~-> 03:10:04 |started, the fearful event that released the adrenaline, that released the
2326 |2325 |03:10:04 ~-~-> 03:10:08 |cortisol, or will eventually release the cortisol, and when cortisol enters the
2327 |2326 |03:10:08 ~-~-> 03:10:12 |bloodstream, then you're really going to feel body symptoms. And if you've never
2328 |2327 |03:10:12 ~-~-> 03:10:15 |felt that before, you are absolutely going to shit yourself, maybe not
2329 |2328 |03:10:15 ~-~-> 03:10:20 |literally, but preferably, it's a scary, it's scary. It's very, very scary. You
2330 |2329 |03:10:20 ~-~-> 03:10:24 |feel like you're losing all you feel like you're undone, like you're going to
2331 |2330 |03:10:24 ~-~-> 03:10:29 |fall out and die. And that's a normal response. Your body is doing something
2332 |2331 |03:10:29 ~-~-> 03:10:33 |to get you to run away or fight. If you're not burning those chemicals off,
2333 |2332 |03:10:34 ~-~-> 03:10:37 |you're going to feel all that uncomfortable state because you're
2334 |2333 |03:10:37 ~-~-> 03:10:41 |sitting still doing nothing. But after one minute of counting your pulse out
2335 |2334 |03:10:41 ~-~-> 03:10:47 |loud, one, every time it beats, 234, and you're watching the sweep second hand on
2336 |2335 |03:10:47 ~-~-> 03:10:51 |your watch, or you're watching the countdown on some kind of digital
2337 |2336 |03:10:51 ~-~-> 03:10:57 |counter, whether it be your your phone or whatnot. That's what starts it takes
2338 |2337 |03:10:57 ~-~-> 03:11:01 |literally 30 to 60 seconds for your parasympathetic nervous system to
2339 |2338 |03:11:01 ~-~-> 03:11:07 |activate. There are faster ways to turn it on. I'll teach you that in a minute.
2340 |2339 |03:11:08 ~-~-> 03:11:13 |But this is the first one where you start to talk yourself down, okay, as
2341 |2340 |03:11:13 ~-~-> 03:11:17 |you're counting them, as you're counting the heartbeat every 15 seconds, you can
2342 |2341 |03:11:17 ~-~-> 03:11:21 |tell yourself, I'm safe. There is a new emergency, and then go back to counting.
2343 |2342 |03:11:21 ~-~-> 03:11:24 |So you're What are you doing? You're breaking up that one minute every 15
2344 |2343 |03:11:24 ~-~-> 03:11:28 |seconds, and you're reminding yourself, there's no emergency, I'm safe. There's
2345 |2344 |03:11:28 ~-~-> 03:11:35 |no emergency, I'm safe. And at the end of the one minute, you say out loud, I'm
2346 |2345 |03:11:35 ~-~-> 03:11:39 |having a stressful reaction to a scary thought. There is no emergency. I choose
2347 |2346 |03:11:39 ~-~-> 03:11:47 |not to be afraid and do another one minute. Within that two minutes, the
2348 |2347 |03:11:47 ~-~-> 03:11:52 |adrenaline will not release into your body. You'll stave off the attempts of
2349 |2348 |03:11:52 ~-~-> 03:11:58 |cortisol being released in your body. Your breath will be reduced down to a
2350 |2349 |03:11:58 ~-~-> 03:12:03 |normal cycle of breathing. It won't be elevated to 18 to 25 breaths a minute,
2351 |2350 |03:12:04 ~-~-> 03:12:07 |and you won't be heating with your chest. You need to be breathing from
2352 |2351 |03:12:07 ~-~-> 03:12:14 |your belly button. Deep belly breathing is a physical exercise that will allow
2353 |2352 |03:12:14 ~-~-> 03:12:22 |you to compensate for the scary stimuli that you're feeling as a result of those
2354 |2353 |03:12:22 ~-~-> 03:12:27 |two chemicals, adrenaline and cortisol. They are natural hormones that are being
2355 |2354 |03:12:27 ~-~-> 03:12:29 |released into your body, your bloodstream, for the purposes of
2356 |2355 |03:12:29 ~-~-> 03:12:33 |protecting you. But if you don't understand that, you think it's killing
2357 |2356 |03:12:33 ~-~-> 03:12:37 |you. You think your body is dying, and it's not. It's doing everything it's
2358 |2357 |03:12:37 ~-~-> 03:12:41 |designed to do, and that's a normal, reassuring thing. But what happens if
2359 |2358 |03:12:45 ~-~-> 03:12:48 |you need to quickly get a hold of yourself, and you can't do it like that,
2360 |2359 |03:12:49 ~-~-> 03:12:54 |but you feel it coming on. You feel a little bit stressed out, and you don't,
2361 |2360 |03:12:54 ~-~-> 03:12:57 |you don't feel the text of adrenaline coming in, but you just feel like, if I
2362 |2361 |03:12:57 ~-~-> 03:13:02 |don't get control myself, I can see it coming. I can feel it coming or, you
2363 |2362 |03:13:02 ~-~-> 03:13:07 |know, stress is beginning to come into your day. How can you get yourself
2364 |2363 |03:13:07 ~-~-> 03:13:11 |prepared to unwind and release that immediately? Well, what you want to do
2365 |2364 |03:13:11 ~-~-> 03:13:16 |is, is you want to take a deep, slow breath. Okay? And I mentioned this in a
2366 |2365 |03:13:16 ~-~-> 03:13:21 |Twitter space, but a live stream, not the last one, I think the one before it,
2367 |2366 |03:13:21 ~-~-> 03:13:26 |but you want to take your your breath, breathe it all out first, wherever
2368 |2367 |03:13:26 ~-~-> 03:13:30 |you're at in your reading, just breathe it all out. All the exhale out, and have
2369 |2368 |03:13:30 ~-~-> 03:13:38 |empty lungs. At the moment it's empty. It's going to be hard for you. Mostly,
2370 |2369 |03:13:38 ~-~-> 03:13:43 |you doing it the first time. Hold that empty lung state for four seconds.
2371 |2370 |03:13:43 ~-~-> 03:13:49 |You're going to feel like you want to breathe in. Don't just relax. And then
2372 |2371 |03:13:49 ~-~-> 03:13:54 |at the end of four seconds, slowly breathe in. But breathe in from your
2373 |2372 |03:13:54 ~-~-> 03:13:59 |belly. Try not to raise your chest up. You want to make your stomach stick out
2374 |2373 |03:13:59 ~-~-> 03:14:02 |like a baby. When a baby breathes? You ever watch a baby breathe? It's belly
2375 |2374 |03:14:02 ~-~-> 03:14:06 |breathing all the time. It's not raising its chest up. The only time it's raising
2376 |2375 |03:14:06 ~-~-> 03:14:10 |its chest up is when it's crying. What is it doing? It's having an anxiety
2377 |2376 |03:14:10 ~-~-> 03:14:14 |attack. That's why it's crying. It's uncomfortable, that's why it's breathing
2378 |2377 |03:14:14 ~-~-> 03:14:20 |with its chest up and down. So you're gonna breathe from an exhale state,
2379 |2378 |03:14:20 ~-~-> 03:14:24 |empty lung. After four seconds, you're going to breathe in from your belly, and
2380 |2379 |03:14:24 ~-~-> 03:14:27 |you're going to try to focus on all the air going into your lungs, going down to
2381 |2380 |03:14:27 ~-~-> 03:14:33 |your belly, and your belly should stick out from your navel. Imagine your belly
2382 |2381 |03:14:33 ~-~-> 03:14:37 |extending out as you breathe in, and at the point when you breathe in, slow you
2383 |2382 |03:14:38 ~-~-> 03:14:43 |want to be about four to five seconds inhalation, nothing longer than that,
2384 |2383 |03:14:43 ~-~-> 03:14:47 |but at the time where you think that you've breathed in a full inhalation,
2385 |2384 |03:14:48 ~-~-> 03:14:53 |quickly sniff through your nose the last little piece of pocket of empty space
2386 |2385 |03:14:53 ~-~-> 03:14:59 |and go like this. It's like say, I breathe in. And then they go, whatever
2387 |2386 |03:14:59 ~-~-> 03:15:03 |little bit of air. Can suck in with that last little sniff, hold that for two to
2388 |2387 |03:15:03 ~-~-> 03:15:08 |three seconds and then slowly let the air fall out, but with pursed lips, that
2389 |2388 |03:15:08 ~-~-> 03:15:12 |means like you're going to whistle, but you're not whistling. You're letting the
2390 |2389 |03:15:12 ~-~-> 03:15:18 |air leave your lungs with pursed lips. But it has to be double the amount of
2391 |2390 |03:15:18 ~-~-> 03:15:21 |time that you inhale. So if you are counting how many seconds you're
2392 |2391 |03:15:21 ~-~-> 03:15:25 |breathing in. If it's four, then you got to exhale at least for eight seconds. If
2393 |2392 |03:15:25 ~-~-> 03:15:29 |you inhale for five seconds, you have to exhale for 10 seconds. The first few
2394 |2393 |03:15:29 ~-~-> 03:15:32 |times you do this, it's got especially when you're in panic, it's going to be
2395 |2394 |03:15:32 ~-~-> 03:15:37 |uncomfortable. But the more you do it, the quicker you'll be able to get into a
2396 |2395 |03:15:37 ~-~-> 03:15:42 |parasympathetic nervous system. You're regulating your nervous system that way,
2397 |2396 |03:15:42 ~-~-> 03:15:45 |all these scary things and feelings that you're feeling is going to be hard for
2398 |2397 |03:15:45 ~-~-> 03:15:48 |you to concentrate, but the first thing you have to do is get control your
2399 |2398 |03:15:48 ~-~-> 03:15:50 |breath. If cortisol is in your bloodstream and you're feeling body
2400 |2399 |03:15:50 ~-~-> 03:15:55 |symptoms, the quickest way to overcome that and regulate yourself is through
2401 |2400 |03:15:55 ~-~-> 03:15:59 |breath. But what happens if you feel it coming? You know that you're under
2402 |2401 |03:15:59 ~-~-> 03:16:04 |stress, but you want to reset your nervous system real quick. It's this
2403 |2402 |03:16:04 ~-~-> 03:16:09 |bread it's this breathing exercise. Two or three times I'll literally do it kind
2404 |2403 |03:16:09 ~-~-> 03:16:12 |of sounds weird. It's going to feel weird listening to it, but I want you to
2405 |2404 |03:16:12 ~-~-> 03:16:17 |hear what you're going to do. I'm sure people are going to listen to and making
2406 |2405 |03:16:17 ~-~-> 03:16:20 |jokes about it, and they can fuck right off. But the point is, eventually
2407 |2406 |03:16:20 ~-~-> 03:16:23 |they're going to have a stressful environment. And if they use this,
2408 |2407 |03:16:23 ~-~-> 03:16:26 |they're going to see how fast it fixes it. It completely resets your nervous
2409 |2408 |03:16:26 ~-~-> 03:16:30 |system. You can't have a panic attack. If you control your nervous system, you
2410 |2409 |03:16:30 ~-~-> 03:16:33 |can't go into panic period. That's in the story. And then you won't release
2411 |2410 |03:16:33 ~-~-> 03:16:36 |the adrenaline, which then eventually releases cortisol. That's the stage,
2412 |2411 |03:16:36 ~-~-> 03:16:41 |that's the way, that's the process, that's how it works. So to keep that
2413 |2412 |03:16:41 ~-~-> 03:16:45 |from happening, as soon as you start to feel stress, like, Oh no, you know, I'm
2414 |2413 |03:16:45 ~-~-> 03:16:49 |getting ready to take this trade, but I might miss it. You feel Stress. Do this?
2415 |2414 |03:16:51 ~-~-> 03:16:51 |Exhale? You
2416 |2415 |03:17:23 ~-~-> 03:17:27 |at the end of the exhalation, hold it for four seconds and then repeat it. Do
2417 |2416 |03:17:27 ~-~-> 03:17:31 |that three times. You got no fucking anxiety. You got no fucking pan attack.
2418 |2417 |03:17:31 ~-~-> 03:17:35 |It ain't coming, and you're gonna have oxygenation. You're gonna feel dialed
2419 |2418 |03:17:35 ~-~-> 03:17:38 |the fuck in. You're gonna feel like you're perfectly right where you're
2420 |2419 |03:17:38 ~-~-> 03:17:45 |supposed to be at. That's how you prevent stress turning into anxiety, and
2421 |2420 |03:17:45 ~-~-> 03:17:48 |then an anxiety turning into full blown panic attack. That's the stages of
2422 |2421 |03:17:48 ~-~-> 03:17:56 |dealing with stress. If you feel the adrenaline getting ready to probably
2423 |2422 |03:17:56 ~-~-> 03:18:01 |release the cortisol, and you just can't, you just can't find yourself to
2424 |2423 |03:18:01 ~-~-> 03:18:06 |come, come down from it, and you're looping in this sympathetic nervous
2425 |2424 |03:18:06 ~-~-> 03:18:09 |system response, fight or flight. There's two parts of your body where
2426 |2425 |03:18:09 ~-~-> 03:18:13 |your biggest nerve, which is the nerve that runs from your brain, that lays
2427 |2426 |03:18:13 ~-~-> 03:18:18 |down over top of all of your organs. Okay, there's two places in our body
2428 |2427 |03:18:18 ~-~-> 03:18:23 |where it's closest to the surface of the skin where we can stimulate it. It's
2429 |2428 |03:18:23 ~-~-> 03:18:26 |directly behind your ears, at the bottom of your ear lobe. Go back about a half
2430 |2429 |03:18:26 ~-~-> 03:18:31 |an inch, okay. And first of all, find the point of your jaw on both sides of
2431 |2430 |03:18:31 ~-~-> 03:18:34 |your face, put your put your index fingers on the corner of your jaw then.
2432 |2431 |03:18:35 ~-~-> 03:18:39 |And then go back about a half an inch, okay. And then go straight up to where
2433 |2432 |03:18:39 ~-~-> 03:18:43 |you're behind your ear. If you take your index finger, or your index finger and
2434 |2433 |03:18:43 ~-~-> 03:18:46 |your middle finger together the fingertips, you don't want to do this
2435 |2434 |03:18:46 ~-~-> 03:18:50 |too hard, just, just like, likely, like, if you're petting a puppy's head, you're
2436 |2435 |03:18:50 ~-~-> 03:18:54 |going to do that same thing, going behind your ear, straight down besides
2437 |2436 |03:18:54 ~-~-> 03:18:57 |your neck, until you touch the tops of your collarbone, or at the top of your
2438 |2437 |03:18:57 ~-~-> 03:19:01 |shoulder rather. And you're going to do that multiple times for about a minute.
2439 |2438 |03:19:03 ~-~-> 03:19:06 |What you're doing is you're stimulating your vagus nerve, and by stimulating
2440 |2439 |03:19:06 ~-~-> 03:19:10 |your biggest nerve, that is the nerve that controls your heartbeat, if you
2441 |2440 |03:19:10 ~-~-> 03:19:15 |stimulate that, what it will do is and you're breathing relaxed. That means
2442 |2441 |03:19:15 ~-~-> 03:19:21 |slow in breaths for four seconds to five seconds, and then slow release, relax
2443 |2442 |03:19:21 ~-~-> 03:19:26 |for eight to 10 breaths, eight to 810 seconds. Rather for the exhale, your
2444 |2443 |03:19:26 ~-~-> 03:19:30 |exhale, the key to you controlling your breath and stress and anxiety is your
2445 |2444 |03:19:30 ~-~-> 03:19:36 |exhales have to be double what the time is of your inhalation. When you're
2446 |2445 |03:19:36 ~-~-> 03:19:43 |inhaling, your heart rate increases. Don't believe me, measure it. When you
2447 |2446 |03:19:43 ~-~-> 03:19:48 |exhale, your heart rate drops. It relaxes. So if you have a heart
2448 |2447 |03:19:48 ~-~-> 03:19:54 |palpitation, how do you do it? How you fix it? Slow, shallow, inhales, long
2449 |2448 |03:19:54 ~-~-> 03:20:00 |exhalations, that long exhalations for a few minutes will complete. Take away
2450 |2449 |03:20:00 ~-~-> 03:20:03 |your heart palpitation. Now, if you're having a medical emergency and you're
2451 |2450 |03:20:03 ~-~-> 03:20:06 |doing this for five minutes and your heart rate ain't coming down, you
2452 |2451 |03:20:06 ~-~-> 03:20:08 |probably go, you probably should see medical treatment, because you're
2453 |2452 |03:20:09 ~-~-> 03:20:14 |probably having something that is beyond the scope of generalized anxiety. But I
2454 |2453 |03:20:14 ~-~-> 03:20:20 |have had very, very high blood pressure, and it was me being fearful of a recent
2455 |2454 |03:20:20 ~-~-> 03:20:23 |attack of vertigo. I've never had vertigo before. I've only had one
2456 |2455 |03:20:23 ~-~-> 03:20:27 |episode of it, but it lingered over a span of two or three days. But the
2457 |2456 |03:20:27 ~-~-> 03:20:31 |biggest part of it was this one big attack that happened at four o'clock in
2458 |2457 |03:20:31 ~-~-> 03:20:34 |the morning, and I was in a constant state of expectation that is going to
2459 |2458 |03:20:34 ~-~-> 03:20:37 |happen again, thinking that it was a stroke, thinking it was heart heart
2460 |2459 |03:20:37 ~-~-> 03:20:40 |failure, something like that. And I wasn't willing to go to the hospital
2461 |2460 |03:20:40 ~-~-> 03:20:45 |yet, so I had this period of elevated high blood pressure because of constant
2462 |2461 |03:20:45 ~-~-> 03:20:49 |feeding myself. What if I am having a stroke? What if I am having an attack?
2463 |2462 |03:20:49 ~-~-> 03:20:53 |And I bought myself a blood pressure cuff. I bought two of them. I had two of
2464 |2463 |03:20:53 ~-~-> 03:20:57 |them giving me a reading, and they were very close to one another, but I was
2465 |2464 |03:20:57 ~-~-> 03:21:01 |getting very, very high readings that should have put me in a trip to the
2466 |2465 |03:21:01 ~-~-> 03:21:07 |emergency room to get checked out. And then I started applying these skill sets
2467 |2466 |03:21:07 ~-~-> 03:21:11 |that I'm teaching you here. And then I brought my blood pressure down to 110
2468 |2467 |03:21:11 ~-~-> 03:21:17 |over 60. Now 110 over 60, that's fucking phenomenal. I got that. That's a very
2469 |2468 |03:21:17 ~-~-> 03:21:22 |good healthy blood pressure they want you to have. I think it's 120 over 80.
2470 |2469 |03:21:23 ~-~-> 03:21:26 |It used to be lower than that, but I think they've maybe they're making
2471 |2470 |03:21:26 ~-~-> 03:21:32 |compensations for the diet they've been feeding everybody but 110 over 60. And I
2472 |2471 |03:21:32 ~-~-> 03:21:36 |was able to accomplish that when I was having readings of 186 over 120 I'm
2473 |2472 |03:21:37 ~-~-> 03:21:44 |sorry. I'm sorry. 186 over 115 115 something like that. There's a few times
2474 |2473 |03:21:44 ~-~-> 03:21:49 |I had 121 26 but that's that's elevated like, that's an elevated blood pressure.
2475 |2474 |03:21:49 ~-~-> 03:21:53 |So you want to be able to fix that if you can, but staying like that's not
2476 |2475 |03:21:53 ~-~-> 03:21:56 |healthy. And in two minutes, two or three minutes of doing these breathing
2477 |2476 |03:21:56 ~-~-> 03:22:00 |exercises, I would drop the blood pressure that I was describing to you
2478 |2477 |03:22:01 ~-~-> 03:22:05 |down to healthy levels. So that means that I don't have blood pressure that's
2479 |2478 |03:22:05 ~-~-> 03:22:10 |prolonged and stayed in that condition. It just means that I was under pressure
2480 |2479 |03:22:10 ~-~-> 03:22:15 |of stress that was all self induced by scary way of thinking, and my heart rate
2481 |2480 |03:22:16 ~-~-> 03:22:22 |was tacking at around 120 beats per minute consistently. So that's doing
2482 |2481 |03:22:22 ~-~-> 03:22:27 |what it's it's holding a level of fight or flight. So I was trapped in a loop
2483 |2482 |03:22:27 ~-~-> 03:22:33 |inside my sympathetic nervous system. So it was, it was deep, it was deregulated.
2484 |2483 |03:22:33 ~-~-> 03:22:37 |So I had to regulate my nervous system, and that's breathing exercises, self
2485 |2484 |03:22:37 ~-~-> 03:22:44 |talk and isolated, isolated muscle tension, those exercises, doing that,
2486 |2485 |03:22:44 ~-~-> 03:22:53 |and then a 20 minute walk, all those things will combat stress. You'll keep
2487 |2486 |03:22:53 ~-~-> 03:22:58 |panic from happening. But what happens if you want another skill set? Say, say,
2488 |2487 |03:22:58 ~-~-> 03:23:02 |none of these things like box breathing, what else is describing? Say that's not
2489 |2488 |03:23:02 ~-~-> 03:23:07 |working for you. Because, unfortunately, sometimes that breathing exercise itself
2490 |2489 |03:23:07 ~-~-> 03:23:11 |doesn't work, and they need to have an immediate response where they can feel
2491 |2490 |03:23:11 ~-~-> 03:23:15 |relaxation come over top. And how can you do that? Well, as I mentioned
2492 |2491 |03:23:15 ~-~-> 03:23:21 |before, if you can find yourself a way to stretch, you know, like when you're
2493 |2492 |03:23:21 ~-~-> 03:23:24 |in bed, before you got to bed, every morning, you should do this, stretch
2494 |2493 |03:23:24 ~-~-> 03:23:28 |yourself, like, stretch your arms, you know, elongate yourself one side longer
2495 |2494 |03:23:28 ~-~-> 03:23:31 |than the other. Reach your arm above your head on the bed and stretch your
2496 |2495 |03:23:31 ~-~-> 03:23:37 |legs. Stiffed out, really stretch out there. And what will happen is you'll
2497 |2496 |03:23:37 ~-~-> 03:23:41 |stretch. You'll get this really good morning yawn, and then when you're done
2498 |2497 |03:23:41 ~-~-> 03:23:47 |yawning, you feel really relaxed. As soon as you yawn, you have activated
2499 |2498 |03:23:47 ~-~-> 03:23:51 |your parasympathetic nervous system. That means you immediately turned it on.
2500 |2499 |03:23:51 ~-~-> 03:23:55 |There's no delay there. It's immediate. It's immediate. You're not bringing it
2501 |2500 |03:23:55 ~-~-> 03:24:00 |down with breathing exercises. You immediately just turned it on. I talked
2502 |2501 |03:24:00 ~-~-> 03:24:05 |about how because I'm a dog owner, I'm a pet parent. If you have a dog, you
2503 |2502 |03:24:05 ~-~-> 03:24:10 |should watch them before they go to sleep. You ever notice how fast it takes
2504 |2503 |03:24:10 ~-~-> 03:24:15 |them? It takes little time for a dog to fall asleep. They go to their lighting
2505 |2504 |03:24:15 ~-~-> 03:24:19 |spot. They'll walk around several times because they want to smell their own paw
2506 |2505 |03:24:19 ~-~-> 03:24:23 |print. Their paw pads have their scent glands in them, and they walk until they
2507 |2506 |03:24:23 ~-~-> 03:24:26 |smell their own scent, and then they lay down. And as soon as they get themselves
2508 |2507 |03:24:26 ~-~-> 03:24:34 |comfortable in their position, they'll do this. Instantly, they're asleep. What
2509 |2508 |03:24:34 ~-~-> 03:24:40 |did they just do? They activated their parasympathetic nervous system. That's
2510 |2509 |03:24:40 ~-~-> 03:24:43 |what they just did, and then they could go to sleep. So if you're having
2511 |2510 |03:24:43 ~-~-> 03:24:48 |problems with insomnia, which I battled with my entire life, when I need to
2512 |2511 |03:24:48 ~-~-> 03:24:51 |sleep and because I don't, and I answered this young man that was on
2513 |2512 |03:24:51 ~-~-> 03:24:55 |Twitter earlier, saying, because I told everybody I've said this before, I sleep
2514 |2513 |03:24:55 ~-~-> 03:25:00 |in two periods of four hours, and I couldn't do that when I was working. Me.
2515 |2514 |03:25:00 ~-~-> 03:25:04 |Obviously I needed sleep more. I needed more recuperation time. But because I
2516 |2515 |03:25:04 ~-~-> 03:25:09 |don't, I don't work, I don't have a stressful life, I sleep for four hours.
2517 |2516 |03:25:10 ~-~-> 03:25:13 |I sleep when I feel like I need to sleep, and then I get up, I do whatever
2518 |2517 |03:25:13 ~-~-> 03:25:18 |I want to do, and when I feel the need for sleep, I'll sleep for four hours,
2519 |2518 |03:25:18 ~-~-> 03:25:22 |and in between those, if I need to take a cat nap of 1015, 20 minutes, something
2520 |2519 |03:25:22 ~-~-> 03:25:26 |like that. Something like that, I will, but I don't ever feel, Oh, I'm tired,
2521 |2520 |03:25:26 ~-~-> 03:25:30 |I'm lethargic. Okay? Because I don't burn out, because I'm sitting in traffic
2522 |2521 |03:25:30 ~-~-> 03:25:34 |back and forth, commuting. I don't work with Carl. I don't spend eight hours, 12
2523 |2522 |03:25:34 ~-~-> 03:25:37 |hours a day. I don't work six hours a week. I'm sorry, six days a week, seven
2524 |2523 |03:25:37 ~-~-> 03:25:40 |days a week. I don't work a part time job in addition, like I have a very
2525 |2524 |03:25:40 ~-~-> 03:25:44 |comfortable lifestyle, so the demand for sleep for me is lower than what it would
2526 |2525 |03:25:44 ~-~-> 03:25:48 |be for everyone else. So when I say when you live my lifestyle where you're not
2527 |2526 |03:25:48 ~-~-> 03:25:52 |going to work, you're going to find that you don't need a lot of sleep. It's
2528 |2527 |03:25:52 ~-~-> 03:25:55 |actually not good for you have that much sleep if you're not stressfully burning
2529 |2528 |03:25:55 ~-~-> 03:25:59 |yourself out. But if you're constantly in a state of stress and you're
2530 |2529 |03:25:59 ~-~-> 03:26:03 |constantly working hard at a job that requires you to constantly be Go, go,
2531 |2530 |03:26:03 ~-~-> 03:26:07 |go, go. You're going to need a lot more time to sleep and recuperate. But I
2532 |2531 |03:26:07 ~-~-> 03:26:10 |don't have that type of lifestyle, so that's why my life doesn't demand that
2533 |2532 |03:26:10 ~-~-> 03:26:16 |measure of level of stress. Basically, I'm sorry sleep for stress. So let's do
2534 |2533 |03:26:16 ~-~-> 03:26:19 |an exercise real quick, and then I'm going to close this. And we've done
2535 |2534 |03:26:19 ~-~-> 03:26:23 |enough today. I want you wherever you're at, if you're driving a car, please,
2536 |2535 |03:26:24 ~-~-> 03:26:27 |please, don't do this. Okay, but if you're home, if you're comfortable,
2537 |2536 |03:26:28 ~-~-> 03:26:31 |okay, I want you to sit up in your chair. Okay, sit up. Straighten your
2538 |2537 |03:26:31 ~-~-> 03:26:36 |back out, okay. And then what I want you to do is stare straight ahead with your
2539 |2538 |03:26:36 ~-~-> 03:26:40 |eyes. Open. Your eyes are going to stay open the entire time. Do not close your
2540 |2539 |03:26:40 ~-~-> 03:26:43 |eyes. You can blink when you need to blink, but don't close them. And now
2541 |2540 |03:26:43 ~-~-> 03:26:47 |what I want you to do is I want to take I want you to keep everything as it is,
2542 |2541 |03:26:47 ~-~-> 03:26:50 |your head straight, your back straight, pull your shoulders back a little bit,
2543 |2542 |03:26:50 ~-~-> 03:26:53 |just that way. You have good posture. And then I want you to take your
2544 |2543 |03:26:53 ~-~-> 03:26:57 |eyeballs and turn as far as you can just your eyes. You're not turning your head.
2545 |2544 |03:26:57 ~-~-> 03:27:01 |Your nose stays pointing straight ahead, but you're going to turn your eyeballs,
2546 |2545 |03:27:01 ~-~-> 03:27:04 |both your left and right eyeball points as far as you can. Turn them to the
2547 |2546 |03:27:04 ~-~-> 03:27:07 |right. It's going to feel a little bit uncomfortable, but you're going to hold
2548 |2547 |03:27:07 ~-~-> 03:27:12 |that for 30 seconds. Okay, give me a second while you're getting yourself
2549 |2548 |03:27:12 ~-~-> 03:27:14 |comfortable here, I want to set my timer.
2550 |2549 |03:27:19 ~-~-> 03:27:23 |Okay, I want to stop watch. I'm gonna tell you to look as far as you can with
2551 |2550 |03:27:23 ~-~-> 03:27:27 |your eyes open. Blink when you feel like you need to, but keeping your nose
2552 |2551 |03:27:27 ~-~-> 03:27:31 |straight ahead, your back straight, your shoulders pull back, only turn your eyes
2553 |2552 |03:27:31 ~-~-> 03:27:35 |as far as you can to the right. It's gonna feel uncomfortable. It's gonna
2554 |2553 |03:27:35 ~-~-> 03:27:39 |feel like you want to wander your eyes around. Move them around. Don't stay
2555 |2554 |03:27:39 ~-~-> 03:27:43 |there. Starting right now. You're going to keep looking as far as you can, just
2556 |2555 |03:27:43 ~-~-> 03:27:46 |with your eyeballs to the right, holding them there, as far as you can. It's
2557 |2556 |03:27:46 ~-~-> 03:27:49 |normal for you to feel like you want to move your eyeballs around. Don't keep
2558 |2557 |03:27:49 ~-~-> 03:27:52 |trying to look to the right. It might feel a little bit uncomfortable. You're
2559 |2558 |03:27:52 ~-~-> 03:27:55 |not going to hurt yourself. It's not going to hurt your vision. Everything's
2560 |2559 |03:27:55 ~-~-> 03:27:59 |normal. You got 15 seconds left. Just keep doing it. Keep holding it. Keep
2561 |2560 |03:27:59 ~-~-> 03:28:02 |your nose straight ahead, but you're turning your eyes as far as you can to
2562 |2561 |03:28:02 ~-~-> 03:28:08 |the right, as far as you can, as far as you can, as far as you can, okay, and
2563 |2562 |03:28:09 ~-~-> 03:28:12 |now look straight ahead so your eyes are pointing straight ahead with your nose.
2564 |2563 |03:28:13 ~-~-> 03:28:16 |Did you feel like you wanted to take a deep breath and sigh, or did you yawn at
2565 |2564 |03:28:16 ~-~-> 03:28:20 |any time during that time period? Did you feel that the need to want to do
2566 |2565 |03:28:20 ~-~-> 03:28:25 |that. If you didn't, it's okay, but if you did, you just activated your pair of
2567 |2566 |03:28:25 ~-~-> 03:28:29 |sympathetic nervous system. Now you're going to do the same thing to the left
2568 |2567 |03:28:29 ~-~-> 03:28:32 |nose, straight ahead, shoulders back, look as far as you can to the left with
2569 |2568 |03:28:32 ~-~-> 03:28:36 |both your eyes, as far as you can look into the left side of your eye, corner
2570 |2569 |03:28:36 ~-~-> 03:28:39 |of your eye. Keep looking there as hard as you can. Okay, I'm going to start the
2571 |2570 |03:28:39 ~-~-> 03:28:45 |timer again. Keep looking as far as you can with your eyes to the left. Anytime
2572 |2571 |03:28:45 ~-~-> 03:28:48 |you click, you got a blank, just blank, but don't look away. Don't move it
2573 |2572 |03:28:48 ~-~-> 03:28:51 |around with your eyeballs. Just keep looking to the left as far as you can.
2574 |2573 |03:28:51 ~-~-> 03:28:54 |If it's uncomfortable, it's okay. It's not going to hurt your vision. It's not
2575 |2574 |03:28:54 ~-~-> 03:28:58 |going to hurt your eyes. You got 14 seconds left. Just relax and just keep
2576 |2575 |03:28:58 ~-~-> 03:29:02 |holding it there. Keep holding it there, and you might have an involuntary sigh,
2577 |2576 |03:29:03 ~-~-> 03:29:07 |or you feel like you want to yawn. If you feel like you want to yawn, yawn,
2578 |2577 |03:29:08 ~-~-> 03:29:11 |that's how you activate. If you can't make yourself yawn, this is how you can
2579 |2578 |03:29:11 ~-~-> 03:29:14 |get to happen. But if you sigh, it's the same thing you just you can relax. Now
2580 |2579 |03:29:14 ~-~-> 03:29:18 |look straight ahead. That's how you activate your parasympathetic nervous
2581 |2580 |03:29:18 ~-~-> 03:29:21 |system. You can do that at your job. You can do that wherever you're at. You just
2582 |2581 |03:29:21 ~-~-> 03:29:24 |don't want to be doing it while you're driving. Doing it while you're driving.
2583 |2582 |03:29:24 ~-~-> 03:29:27 |You can imagine the complications in driving a motor vehicle while doing
2584 |2583 |03:29:27 ~-~-> 03:29:31 |that. So as long as you're in a safe environment where you can do that, you
2585 |2584 |03:29:31 ~-~-> 03:29:35 |can immediately activate your reticular act, not reticular, activate your
2586 |2585 |03:29:35 ~-~-> 03:29:40 |parasympathetic nervous system. And when you do that, you immediately turned off
2587 |2586 |03:29:40 ~-~-> 03:29:45 |the fight or flight sympathetic nervous system. That means you turned it off.
2588 |2587 |03:29:45 ~-~-> 03:29:51 |Your body will not release adrenaline. It will not release cortisol. It turns
2589 |2588 |03:29:51 ~-~-> 03:29:55 |it off immediately in the evening, time when you're ready to bed down and go to
2590 |2589 |03:29:55 ~-~-> 03:30:00 |sleep and or when you're done, you're trading day. Okay and you're done,
2591 |2590 |03:30:01 ~-~-> 03:30:04 |you're going to go back to regular things that you do in the day. Do that
2592 |2591 |03:30:04 ~-~-> 03:30:09 |exercise or stretch yourself, stretch your arms and your body with the
2593 |2592 |03:30:09 ~-~-> 03:30:15 |intended purpose of finding that elusive yawn. Because if you yawn, enjoy it
2594 |2593 |03:30:16 ~-~-> 03:30:21 |really, really savor that yawn. Because when you do that, you have immediately
2595 |2594 |03:30:21 ~-~-> 03:30:25 |activated your parasympathetic nervous system. That means you turned off all
2596 |2595 |03:30:25 ~-~-> 03:30:29 |stress hormone production. You've turned off all fight or flight. You've
2597 |2596 |03:30:29 ~-~-> 03:30:34 |completely entered into the rest and digest state of mind. You'll be able to
2598 |2597 |03:30:34 ~-~-> 03:30:37 |go to sleep at night time. If you do that before you go to bed, you'll be
2599 |2598 |03:30:37 ~-~-> 03:30:42 |able to fall asleep faster. You'll be able to see sleep more soundly, and when
2600 |2599 |03:30:42 ~-~-> 03:30:49 |you wake up, start your day the same way, if you don't realize it, when you
2601 |2600 |03:30:49 ~-~-> 03:30:52 |wake up in the first few minutes of your morning, you probably are thinking
2602 |2601 |03:30:52 ~-~-> 03:30:55 |about, what if this, and what if that, and what do I gotta do here? And I don't
2603 |2602 |03:30:55 ~-~-> 03:30:58 |really want to go to work. I don't you're immediately flooding yourself
2604 |2603 |03:30:58 ~-~-> 03:31:02 |with what bad, toxic thoughts. And the average person, and I learned this from
2605 |2604 |03:31:02 ~-~-> 03:31:08 |Lucinda Bassett book, attacking anxiety. Okay, back in 2001 I had all the anxiety
2606 |2605 |03:31:08 ~-~-> 03:31:13 |attacks. I was buying everything I could for coping skills, for managing anxiety.
2607 |2606 |03:31:14 ~-~-> 03:31:18 |And she, she brought up a statistic that I thought was kind of silly when she
2608 |2607 |03:31:18 ~-~-> 03:31:22 |when she first introduced it in our book. I thought, There's no way I'm
2609 |2608 |03:31:22 ~-~-> 03:31:25 |thinking that many times a negative thought. And I was, I was actually doing
2610 |2609 |03:31:25 ~-~-> 03:31:31 |more than that, over 300 times a day, the average person thinks about
2611 |2610 |03:31:31 ~-~-> 03:31:39 |something toxic, scary or self defeating. And every single time that
2612 |2611 |03:31:39 ~-~-> 03:31:44 |you notice yourself doing that, keep keep account of it, and tell yourself I
2613 |2612 |03:31:44 ~-~-> 03:31:48 |don't need to think that way, and there's no reason why I should be
2614 |2613 |03:31:48 ~-~-> 03:31:53 |thinking that way. I am. I'm an overcomer, I'm comfortable, I'm healthy,
2615 |2614 |03:31:53 ~-~-> 03:31:58 |I'm moving towards success, and I don't choose to be fearful. You're giving
2616 |2615 |03:31:58 ~-~-> 03:32:01 |yourself self talk. You're coaching yourself. You're replacing these
2617 |2616 |03:32:01 ~-~-> 03:32:05 |negative, intrusive thoughts, and you're coaching yourself to think about things
2618 |2617 |03:32:05 ~-~-> 03:32:08 |positively. You can't have a negative thought when you when you're expressing
2619 |2618 |03:32:08 ~-~-> 03:32:12 |a positive self talk, it can't share the same space. It can't share the same
2620 |2619 |03:32:12 ~-~-> 03:32:18 |time. So this is what I've done over my lifetime, to conquer fear, conquer
2621 |2620 |03:32:18 ~-~-> 03:32:22 |anxiety. I have absolutely no anxiety. I have no fear at all. I have nothing but
2622 |2621 |03:32:22 ~-~-> 03:32:26 |that physical symptom of vertigo, which was a small little calcium deposit that
2623 |2622 |03:32:26 ~-~-> 03:32:31 |broke away inside my inner ear. It moved inside one of my tubes in my ear, and it
2624 |2623 |03:32:31 ~-~-> 03:32:34 |tricks your brain, because it's piped directly into your brain. The nerve is
2625 |2624 |03:32:34 ~-~-> 03:32:38 |from your ear. It makes you feel like you're spinning, and at four o'clock in
2626 |2625 |03:32:38 ~-~-> 03:32:43 |the morning, being woke up feeling I'm spinning around 100 miles an hour. It's
2627 |2626 |03:32:43 ~-~-> 03:32:49 |a very scary feeling. And when your eyes start twitching because your brain
2628 |2627 |03:32:49 ~-~-> 03:32:52 |saying you're spinning, but you're really not, your eyes thinking, Okay,
2629 |2628 |03:32:52 ~-~-> 03:32:56 |I'm spinning, and it's almost like your your eyeballs are in a spasm or a
2630 |2629 |03:32:56 ~-~-> 03:33:01 |seizure. And I I couldn't see I just saw things spinning around like I was on a
2631 |2630 |03:33:01 ~-~-> 03:33:07 |carousel, but it was spinning violently. But after about 30 seconds, the crystal
2632 |2631 |03:33:07 ~-~-> 03:33:12 |settled down and stopped moving around. But I felt like that was going to happen
2633 |2632 |03:33:12 ~-~-> 03:33:16 |for days after all over again, but I've since learned how if I had that
2634 |2633 |03:33:16 ~-~-> 03:33:21 |experience again, I know there's two specific routines that I can do to make
2635 |2634 |03:33:21 ~-~-> 03:33:26 |that be allevi You know, leave me tongue twister, alleviate the sensation of that
2636 |2635 |03:33:26 ~-~-> 03:33:30 |dizziness. It's not going to be pleasurable, I'm sure, but at least I
2637 |2636 |03:33:30 ~-~-> 03:33:33 |know now how to deal with that. I have a coping skill. Should I ever have another
2638 |2637 |03:33:33 ~-~-> 03:33:39 |bout of vertigo? And that was self inflicted, because the day before, I
2639 |2638 |03:33:39 ~-~-> 03:33:43 |inverted myself about 10 different times in a short span of time. I was doing
2640 |2639 |03:33:43 ~-~-> 03:33:48 |biceps, I was doing lat pull downs and such, and then I would elongate my back
2641 |2640 |03:33:48 ~-~-> 03:33:51 |by going upside down between sets. And I kept doing that. And I think what
2642 |2641 |03:33:51 ~-~-> 03:33:54 |happened was, because the blood pressure building up in my head, going upside
2643 |2642 |03:33:54 ~-~-> 03:33:58 |down multiple times in a short period of time, it broke away one of those little
2644 |2643 |03:33:58 ~-~-> 03:34:01 |calcium deposits that we had naturally in our brain, and I'm sorry, in our ear.
2645 |2644 |03:34:01 ~-~-> 03:34:05 |And when that breaks off and goes into your inner ear, it tricks your brain,
2646 |2645 |03:34:06 ~-~-> 03:34:11 |because it takes spatial displacement in that little gel that's inside our ears,
2647 |2646 |03:34:12 ~-~-> 03:34:16 |and it tells your brain that you're spinning when you're not and it's very
2648 |2647 |03:34:16 ~-~-> 03:34:20 |scary and uncomfortable feeling. But apart from that moment, in that time I
2649 |2648 |03:34:20 ~-~-> 03:34:25 |had no anxiety, like I had, I had that anxiety in years, long time, like, like
2650 |2649 |03:34:25 ~-~-> 03:34:30 |decades, really. But I use the coping skills that this taught you here today,
2651 |2650 |03:34:30 ~-~-> 03:34:34 |and I'm certain that if you are stressful while you're in trades, if you
2652 |2651 |03:34:34 ~-~-> 03:34:37 |do these things, like, when you're in a stress, when you feel like you're being
2653 |2652 |03:34:37 ~-~-> 03:34:41 |stressed out while you're in a trade, do that, that one breathing technique where
2654 |2653 |03:34:41 ~-~-> 03:34:45 |you exhale everything, hold it for four seconds. Inhale, slow four to five
2655 |2654 |03:34:45 ~-~-> 03:34:49 |seconds. And at the top of what you think is a full inhalation, sniff
2656 |2655 |03:34:49 ~-~-> 03:34:53 |through your nose, the last little piece of pocket space to fill up, hold that
2657 |2656 |03:34:53 ~-~-> 03:34:57 |for two to three seconds, and then slow exhale, eight seconds to 10 seconds,
2658 |2657 |03:34:57 ~-~-> 03:35:00 |whatever you can do comfortably. And at the end of the exhale, I'm. Wait four
2659 |2658 |03:35:00 ~-~-> 03:35:03 |seconds and then repeat it again. Do at least two to three times that you'll
2660 |2659 |03:35:03 ~-~-> 03:35:06 |immediately shake off the anxiety. You'll you won't, you won't have any
2661 |2660 |03:35:06 ~-~-> 03:35:11 |stress. It fixes it immediately. And you can do that anywhere. You can do while
2662 |2661 |03:35:11 ~-~-> 03:35:15 |you're driving. You can do it at work. Nobody knows what you're doing. It's,
2663 |2662 |03:35:15 ~-~-> 03:35:19 |it's, it's a very relaxing, immediate triggering of centering yourself and
2664 |2663 |03:35:19 ~-~-> 03:35:23 |recalibrating your nervous system, and that's exactly what you want to be
2665 |2664 |03:35:23 ~-~-> 03:35:27 |trading in. You want to have a parasympathetic state of mind, where
2666 |2665 |03:35:27 ~-~-> 03:35:32 |your nervous system is at rest and digest when you're in a state of flight,
2667 |2666 |03:35:33 ~-~-> 03:35:36 |in fight or flight, if you eat, your food will not digest. Because when
2668 |2667 |03:35:36 ~-~-> 03:35:39 |you're in that state of mind, what happens is it dilates your pupils. That
2669 |2668 |03:35:39 ~-~-> 03:35:42 |way you can take in more information from your vision. You need to see the
2670 |2669 |03:35:42 ~-~-> 03:35:45 |dangers coming at you when you're telling yourself there is one, there
2671 |2670 |03:35:46 ~-~-> 03:35:50 |ain't one. Your heart rate increases so that we can run faster and be stronger,
2672 |2671 |03:35:50 ~-~-> 03:35:53 |because it's pumping blood to the muscles it's going to be required for
2673 |2672 |03:35:53 ~-~-> 03:35:56 |you to run or fight with your inhalation is happening more increased because it
2674 |2673 |03:35:56 ~-~-> 03:35:59 |wants to bring oxygen to those muscles that's being pumped through. The
2675 |2674 |03:35:59 ~-~-> 03:36:04 |increased blood flow from your heart rate increased, and it turns off your
2676 |2675 |03:36:04 ~-~-> 03:36:11 |digestive system. It literally turns off the ability for you to piss. Those are
2677 |2676 |03:36:11 ~-~-> 03:36:14 |physiological responses. You ever notice how you might have to pee? Oh, I gotta
2678 |2677 |03:36:14 ~-~-> 03:36:17 |pee. I gotta pee. And if you get scared, guess what happens? Either you're going
2679 |2678 |03:36:17 ~-~-> 03:36:19 |to immediately piss yourself,
2680 |2679 |03:36:20 ~-~-> 03:36:26 |or you lose all sensation that you need to pee, because now your your
2681 |2680 |03:36:26 ~-~-> 03:36:31 |sympathized nervous system has turned on. It turns off the ability for you to
2682 |2681 |03:36:31 ~-~-> 03:36:34 |go to the bathroom. It turns it off if you can't pee, you can't urinate when
2683 |2682 |03:36:34 ~-~-> 03:36:39 |you're in that state of mind, because you can't stop, yeah, you have to fight
2684 |2683 |03:36:39 ~-~-> 03:36:42 |or flight. That's how you know there's a designer. That's how you know there's a
2685 |2684 |03:36:42 ~-~-> 03:36:48 |creator. But I hope you learned something today. I hope I was helpful in
2686 |2685 |03:36:48 ~-~-> 03:36:52 |some capacity. I hope I gave you something to cope with the everyday
2687 |2686 |03:36:52 ~-~-> 03:36:56 |stresses that you can absolutely keep from turning into full blown panic, and
2688 |2687 |03:36:56 ~-~-> 03:37:00 |you can keep yourself in a more centered state of mind while you're trading, and
2689 |2688 |03:37:00 ~-~-> 03:37:03 |that way you can keep yourself composed. You don't want to be trading with a
2690 |2689 |03:37:03 ~-~-> 03:37:08 |fight or flight stimuli you know, in your in your brain, and we're wrestling
2691 |2690 |03:37:08 ~-~-> 03:37:12 |with a cloud of mind, because you can't think clearly if you're in panic, you
2692 |2691 |03:37:12 ~-~-> 03:37:15 |can't protect your money, and you can't make money in a state of mind that's
2693 |2692 |03:37:15 ~-~-> 03:37:20 |full of panic. So now you have multiple skill sets. You have multiple things
2694 |2693 |03:37:20 ~-~-> 03:37:24 |that you can now apply to your life and remove and start controlling stress. If
2695 |2694 |03:37:24 ~-~-> 03:37:28 |you want to look at things more about just do research on the anatomic nervous
2696 |2695 |03:37:28 ~-~-> 03:37:33 |system and the parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous system, and look at
2697 |2696 |03:37:33 ~-~-> 03:37:38 |things about the vagus nerve. Oh, I'm sorry I forgot the other one. I told
2698 |2697 |03:37:38 ~-~-> 03:37:41 |you. There's two places in the body if you're stimulating the vagus nerve
2699 |2698 |03:37:41 ~-~-> 03:37:45 |behind your ears going down the sides of your neck. You're lightly stroking that
2700 |2699 |03:37:46 ~-~-> 03:37:49 |behind your ear down to your to your neck. What that's doing is it's
2701 |2700 |03:37:49 ~-~-> 03:37:53 |stimulating your vagus nerve so if it's calmed down, it won't send signals to
2702 |2701 |03:37:53 ~-~-> 03:37:56 |your heart to increase your heart rate, which won't increase your lung
2703 |2702 |03:37:58 ~-~-> 03:38:02 |inhalation rate to increase which won't trigger the adrenaline release, which
2704 |2703 |03:38:02 ~-~-> 03:38:06 |won't release cortisol, it's left unchecked. That's that's the natural
2705 |2704 |03:38:06 ~-~-> 03:38:09 |progression of everything happening in your body, which is a normal function.
2706 |2705 |03:38:09 ~-~-> 03:38:14 |It's not something that normal, but if you're not doing anything while you're
2707 |2706 |03:38:14 ~-~-> 03:38:16 |putting yourself through that, it can make you feel a little scary the other
2708 |2707 |03:38:16 ~-~-> 03:38:20 |part of your body, and this is something you do with your cubicle if you're stuck
2709 |2708 |03:38:20 ~-~-> 03:38:23 |at work, or if you're stuck in traffic and you're having stress or anxiety.
2710 |2709 |03:38:23 ~-~-> 03:38:27 |Like, I used to have anxiety attacks in traffic when I used to have a job. I
2711 |2710 |03:38:27 ~-~-> 03:38:29 |hated being stuck in traffic. I was like, What happens if I have to use the
2712 |2711 |03:38:29 ~-~-> 03:38:33 |bathroom? Like, how embarrassing would that be if I had to all of a sudden?
2713 |2712 |03:38:33 ~-~-> 03:38:35 |Now, have to use the bathroom and I've had anxiety attacks, there was something
2714 |2713 |03:38:35 ~-~-> 03:38:39 |stupid. Is that silly? Isn't it? Probably laughing at me, right? I used
2715 |2714 |03:38:39 ~-~-> 03:38:42 |to laugh at a thing. Like, why the hell am I I'm going to ship myself here in in
2716 |2715 |03:38:42 ~-~-> 03:38:45 |this traffic, I'm in the middle lane. Nobody's moving. I can't get off.
2717 |2716 |03:38:45 ~-~-> 03:38:48 |There's no exit ramps like there's there's nothing I can do. What happens
2718 |2717 |03:38:48 ~-~-> 03:38:51 |if I have to go to bathroom? It never happened behind you. But that was a
2719 |2718 |03:38:51 ~-~-> 03:38:56 |really stupid, intrusive thought that made a huge scary feeling all the time
2720 |2719 |03:38:56 ~-~-> 03:39:00 |for me. I hated being in traffic for that reason. But what you do is, is you
2721 |2720 |03:39:00 ~-~-> 03:39:04 |take your in your middle finger, okay, usually you use your stronger hand, and
2722 |2721 |03:39:04 ~-~-> 03:39:07 |you literally place the tip of your middle finger of your strongest hand and
2723 |2722 |03:39:07 ~-~-> 03:39:11 |place it inside your belly button, okay. And for men, some of you women might
2724 |2723 |03:39:11 ~-~-> 03:39:13 |feel this too. And again, this is the reason why children should not be
2725 |2724 |03:39:13 ~-~-> 03:39:17 |listening to my live stream. Okay. We're all adults here. I know some dickheads
2726 |2725 |03:39:17 ~-~-> 03:39:21 |and little childhood mentality. People are going to take this out of context,
2727 |2726 |03:39:22 ~-~-> 03:39:25 |but if you place your place your middle finger inside your belly button as deep
2728 |2727 |03:39:25 ~-~-> 03:39:29 |as you can without hurting yourself, obviously, and then you slowly make a
2729 |2728 |03:39:29 ~-~-> 03:39:33 |circular pattern, okay, counterclockwise. You may feel, if
2730 |2729 |03:39:33 ~-~-> 03:39:36 |you're a male, your penis, it might, it might. You might feel something in your
2731 |2730 |03:39:36 ~-~-> 03:39:41 |penis, and a woman may feel that in her clitoris, that's your badges nerve, or
2732 |2731 |03:39:41 ~-~-> 03:39:47 |vagus nerve, rather being stimulated. If you're sitting still and you're in a
2733 |2732 |03:39:47 ~-~-> 03:39:50 |position where you can do that to calm yourself down, you're in full blown
2734 |2733 |03:39:50 ~-~-> 03:39:54 |panic. If you do that for about two to three minutes while controlling your
2735 |2734 |03:39:54 ~-~-> 03:39:57 |breath, you'll immediately come out of anxiety. You'll immediately regulate
2736 |2735 |03:39:57 ~-~-> 03:40:01 |your sympathetic nervous system. You'll. You'll activate your parasympathetic
2737 |2736 |03:40:01 ~-~-> 03:40:05 |nervous system, so you'll you'll be comforted. It's not it's not
2738 |2737 |03:40:05 ~-~-> 03:40:08 |masturbation, so stop kidding around with yourself. And I know some of you
2739 |2738 |03:40:08 ~-~-> 03:40:12 |have a childhood mentality here, but you there's two places in our body that the
2740 |2739 |03:40:12 ~-~-> 03:40:16 |vagus nerve is closest to the skin, where it can be stimulated to calm
2741 |2740 |03:40:16 ~-~-> 03:40:20 |yourself down. That's the nerve that triggers and controls all of your organs
2742 |2741 |03:40:20 ~-~-> 03:40:26 |and the response to stress. So if you're stimulating the sides of your neck with
2743 |2742 |03:40:26 ~-~-> 03:40:30 |the vagus nerve behind your ears, and you don't want to do that too hard,
2744 |2743 |03:40:30 ~-~-> 03:40:32 |because it caused you to feel like you're seeing stars, because then you're
2745 |2744 |03:40:32 ~-~-> 03:40:35 |affecting the carotid artery, that's what you're not you're not doing that.
2746 |2745 |03:40:35 ~-~-> 03:40:40 |You're going behind that. The other part is your belly button, and you you just
2747 |2746 |03:40:40 ~-~-> 03:40:43 |counterclockwise with your middle finger, and you're counterclockwise
2748 |2747 |03:40:43 ~-~-> 03:40:47 |stimulating that for two to three minutes, not to the point where it
2749 |2748 |03:40:47 ~-~-> 03:40:50 |hurts, but it's going to be at the edge of where it could hurt if you press a
2750 |2749 |03:40:50 ~-~-> 03:40:53 |little bit further. And you just do that for two to three minutes, up to five
2751 |2750 |03:40:53 ~-~-> 03:40:57 |minutes, but nothing longer than that, and you'll find that you're able to just
2752 |2751 |03:40:57 ~-~-> 03:41:02 |counteract these body symptoms and your stress can be turned off beautifully.
2753 |2752 |03:41:02 ~-~-> 03:41:07 |It's it's amazing how our body is so dynamic that we have the ability to
2754 |2753 |03:41:07 ~-~-> 03:41:12 |control these things. But unfortunately, I live with years of stress, and a lot
2755 |2754 |03:41:12 ~-~-> 03:41:15 |of people are victims of that same stuff, because they don't know how to
2756 |2755 |03:41:15 ~-~-> 03:41:18 |they don't know how to come out of that loop where the sympathetic nervous
2757 |2756 |03:41:18 ~-~-> 03:41:22 |system has been triggered and they don't have to come out of it. It's easy to go
2758 |2757 |03:41:22 ~-~-> 03:41:28 |into this state of mind of scary, fight or flight. It's hard to come out of that
2759 |2758 |03:41:28 ~-~-> 03:41:32 |unless you're really relaxing. So the things I just taught today, they are my
2760 |2759 |03:41:32 ~-~-> 03:41:36 |strongest tools that I've used with wrestling with anxiety in my entire
2761 |2760 |03:41:36 ~-~-> 03:41:40 |life. I just recently had to use them again because of fear about thinking
2762 |2761 |03:41:40 ~-~-> 03:41:45 |about a heart or a stroke situation which wasn't even there. It was simply
2763 |2762 |03:41:46 ~-~-> 03:41:50 |about of vertigo, which isn't life threatening. It's scary, but it's not
2764 |2763 |03:41:50 ~-~-> 03:41:53 |life threatening. And if I ever have another bout of it, I know how to deal
2765 |2764 |03:41:53 ~-~-> 03:41:58 |with it, and I'm not. I'm not scared of it now. So again, hopefully you wanted
2766 |2765 |03:41:58 ~-~-> 03:42:01 |something. If you did, you give me some feedback. Give me a post in response to
2767 |2766 |03:42:01 ~-~-> 03:42:06 |this Twitter space invitation and until I'll talk to you next time, be safe.
2768 |2767 |03:42:06 ~-~-> 03:42:07 |You.
