1 | 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:15,120 | ICT: Well, hello, folks, how are you? hope everybody's doing well. It is Friday, August 19 2022, the weekend prior to the ICT mentorship, core content being |
2 | 00:00:15,150 --> 00:00:28,110 | delivered on my personal YouTube channel. Starting next week, August 22 2022, I will be going uploading one video per night. And that's because at that pace, |
3 | 00:00:28,110 --> 00:00:41,040 | it's intended for you to go through that. Not I need 16 videos all at one time, because you won't retain it all. Now, before we get into that, I want to remind |
4 | 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:52,260 | you that you have already been given a complete model, my private mentorship group have benefited from that very model on his YouTube channel. It has aided |
5 | 00:00:52,260 --> 00:01:02,580 | them in understanding how to make a model simplified. And they can go in and use the things that they were taught in private mentorship to make another model if |
6 | 00:01:02,610 --> 00:01:16,050 | this one doesn't really do it for them. But in my opinion, the one that you've been given is the easiest, it's the most visually friendly chart application of |
7 | 00:01:16,050 --> 00:01:27,690 | my concepts. It's simply looking for a specific thing within a specific time window. And there it is. Now you can beef that up, obviously make it a lot more |
8 | 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:38,790 | than it is. But you don't really need it. So as a reminder, before you start getting inundated with more content. Let me remind you all that the core content |
9 | 00:01:39,570 --> 00:01:49,140 | was not really mentorship, it was a language that I was sharing with my students in the private group. So that way, I could speak to them in a manner where it |
10 | 00:01:49,140 --> 00:01:57,930 | would be understandable. Now, unlike anything else, if you're trying to learn an instrument, or learn how to read sheet music, it's going to be a little |
11 | 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:10,080 | intimidating at first. But understand simply because you understand how to read sheet music doesn't mean you know how to play the piano. Or like for me, I can't |
12 | 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:21,720 | play guitar as much as I love it. And I have such a respect for those that can do it. I personally, for years have tried, I just can't seem to get it. So |
13 | 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:33,120 | understanding that the logic and the concepts that I'm sharing through the core content lessons, they are just me providing a language. Now you're going to have |
14 | 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:45,960 | to obviously submit to a lot of learning, if you're going to go through this understand it's going to take you a lot of time. Do not go into this wanting to |
15 | 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:56,670 | make that YouTube model better. Alright, so that we understand each other going in. Many of you have already found consistency and profitability, just what I've |
16 | 00:02:56,670 --> 00:03:09,570 | taught already. The individuals have obtained that my advice honestly would be don't even partake in the viewing or study of the content. Because what's going |
17 | 00:03:09,570 --> 00:03:20,700 | to happen is you're going to look at the things I'm teaching in the core content lessons that were really delivered as early as August 2016 to the private group. |
18 | 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:34,890 | But these concepts have been with me since 1996. So they've been around for a long time, only my one on one students were trained with these things. And in |
19 | 00:03:34,890 --> 00:03:45,930 | 2016, I came out and said I was going to start teaching it and open up the private group. And there it was. I don't sell anymore. Okay, I don't sell |
20 | 00:03:45,930 --> 00:03:55,110 | education. I don't do those things anymore. Okay, and because there's a lot of individuals all around the world that had been actively trying to sell these |
21 | 00:03:55,110 --> 00:04:04,560 | videos, and some of them have made a lot of money. That is not necessary anymore. So if you're out there scouring the internet, or afraid to buy from |
22 | 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:19,260 | some low life or dangling ICT mentorship videos, if you join my signal service on Telegram for 50 bucks, save your money, because a real student of mine |
23 | 00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:27,930 | wouldn't dangle that in front of you. They would just simply say here, I can trade. I've learned how to do it. This is my proof. There it is. If there's any |
24 | 00:04:27,930 --> 00:04:28,680 | enticement, |
25 | 00:04:30,209 --> 00:04:40,949 | using my videos, I'm removing that by doing this. And let me remind you also, I have paid students, not all of them are in agreement with what I'm about to do. |
26 | 00:04:41,669 --> 00:04:50,429 | And I'm aware of that, but I've also had to go to the woodshed with them just the other day in the form and reminding them they don't own me and they don't |
27 | 00:04:50,459 --> 00:05:00,809 | own this intellectual property. This is mine. I can do whatever I want to do with this. And these videos are not mentorship. They are being mentored, they |
28 | 00:05:00,809 --> 00:05:11,009 | were mentored, sitting down each and every single day telling them what the Mark was likely to do. So that we can use these concepts properly with my experience |
29 | 00:05:11,009 --> 00:05:20,909 | and guiding them with where the market is gonna go beforehand that is being mentored. That is not what this is going to be. This is me simply making these |
30 | 00:05:20,939 --> 00:05:32,429 | videos that are being pirated, sold all over the internet all over the world, okay, and use this enticements that join low talent, signal services, it's |
31 | 00:05:32,429 --> 00:05:44,159 | probably going to be a rip off. Not because of the concepts that are taught in these videos are unprofitable, it just means that they had been abused. Now, in |
32 | 00:05:44,159 --> 00:06:00,029 | 2016, when I sat down to produce these videos, and throughout the year of 2017, and August, wrapping up that for first round of teaching, none of those videos, |
33 | 00:06:00,419 --> 00:06:11,639 | were given a visual watermark, because my intentions were, for those individuals that had no character, they were going to work for me for free. That means they |
34 | 00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:20,159 | were going to spread it around, share it with their friends and neighbors, put them up in discord channels, all those types of things. Knowing full well that |
35 | 00:06:20,159 --> 00:06:32,249 | these lessons are just the language, not the here's what you're supposed to do with it. That part had to come from me, the ongoing teachings, the lesson |
36 | 00:06:32,249 --> 00:06:46,829 | sitting down with me being mentored. And it's much like the parable of the Jade master. There's this young guy. He's thinking to himself, man, don't these |
37 | 00:06:46,859 --> 00:06:56,489 | menial jobs, I can't really do well. I heard about this old guy on the other side of the mountain. And he's a gene Master, I'm going to be a jade master, |
38 | 00:06:56,489 --> 00:07:05,189 | that's going to be my profession. And I will be able to live well, because that's a profession that will pay me. So he goes on a long journey, finds his |
39 | 00:07:05,189 --> 00:07:16,259 | way to the Jade masters home in knock some of the work smarming inputs the door up and says, Hey, I want to be a J master. And they will mean smiles and says |
40 | 00:07:16,259 --> 00:07:25,829 | Please come in. So they sit down, they start talking to one another. And the young man says I want to be a jade master. So a man gets up, walks across the |
41 | 00:07:25,829 --> 00:07:36,359 | room opens up a little box on a shelf, reaches in take something out and tells the young man to hold his hand open. It says which hand he goes, Are you right |
42 | 00:07:36,359 --> 00:07:45,869 | handed or left handed to me and says I'm right handed is open up your right hand. He only opens up his right hand outstretched. And the old man presses a |
43 | 00:07:45,869 --> 00:07:55,229 | green stone into his palm and tells him to close his hand around the stem and hold it. Don't put it down. And he sits down he starts talking to him about |
44 | 00:07:55,229 --> 00:08:08,219 | things that have nothing to do with Jade talks him about things he did when he was younger stories that led to wisdom talks about things that the old man had |
45 | 00:08:08,219 --> 00:08:19,439 | to do around his own house and suggested that he would have to do some of those things if he wanted to be trained. So he told him, Look, here's the broom. I |
46 | 00:08:19,439 --> 00:08:28,979 | want you to start sweeping up. You only looked at me strangely, but took the broom from him nonetheless and started sweeping. About 2030 minutes goes by. And |
47 | 00:08:28,979 --> 00:08:42,659 | he says listen, I came here to learn how to be a jade master. I didn't come here to sweep your house. I'm not your servant. And the old man says please give me |
48 | 00:08:42,659 --> 00:08:58,469 | the room. Give me the stone. It's time for you to go home. Come back next week. So the old man little disoriented and confused, shrugs his shoulders and walks |
49 | 00:08:58,469 --> 00:09:08,639 | out the door and week goes by comes back knocks on the door again. Domain greets and says come on in. He goes to the same box picks up. That same Greenstone |
50 | 00:09:08,909 --> 00:09:20,669 | tells him to open up his hand presses the Greenstone in his palm and starts telling him about tree frogs. And right away the old man says Listen, |
51 | 00:09:22,050 --> 00:09:30,810 | maybe we're not understanding each other. I didn't come here to learn about frogs. I didn't come here to sweep your house or listen to your stories. I have |
52 | 00:09:30,810 --> 00:09:42,210 | nothing to do with becoming a jade master. Your man stands up and says it's time for you to go. Please may I have the stone back? Come back next week. Young man |
53 | 00:09:42,210 --> 00:09:52,500 | looked at in strangely. Are you serious? Yes. Yes, please. It's time for you to go home. Come back next week. So your man leaves. The following week comes back. |
54 | 00:09:54,180 --> 00:10:03,960 | Oh man invites him in. Goes to the same box takes the Greenstone out of the box, presses it into his Tom then begins to tell him all the stories about what he |
55 | 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:15,720 | had to endure as a young child. And again, almost an hour goes by. And the young man just can't stand it anymore. He says, Listen, I need this to work for me. |
56 | 00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:27,990 | I'm putting everything I have into this. Can you please just teach me about Jade? Stop telling me these boring stories. Start talking to me about things |
57 | 00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:37,440 | that have nothing to do with being going a jade master. I want to know how to do this. And I feel like you're abusing my interest. I want to learn how to master |
58 | 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:49,920 | Jade. I didn't come here to do these things that you're asking me to do? Why are you wasting my time? Yo, man, because they were through that same box reaches |
59 | 00:10:49,920 --> 00:11:02,790 | and takes out some and the old man tosses him a stone. And a new man catches it in midair. He says Here hold this piece of jade. Young man feels it in his hand, |
60 | 00:11:03,390 --> 00:11:22,650 | says this isn't Jade. And the old man smiles. That story. Many like it. There's different versions of it. When I first read that, it didn't resonate with me. |
61 | 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:35,430 | Why? Because I was a 20 year old. My first introduction to it was in the Market Wizards book by Jack Swagger. And its abbreviated version of it in there. But |
62 | 00:11:36,690 --> 00:11:46,860 | when I read it and think myself why they even put this in this book. Their sense to me because as a young man, I thought like a young man. I wanted this book to |
63 | 00:11:46,860 --> 00:11:59,670 | talk about the secrets of trading the very things that was most guarded by the most coveted of all traders. And to be honest with you, there's nearly nothing |
64 | 00:11:59,670 --> 00:12:12,780 | in those books that he wrote that were transcending nothing special in terms of technicals, no entry patterns, no little funny approach to doing anything in the |
65 | 00:12:12,780 --> 00:12:23,190 | marketplace. It was them sitting down, sharing their experiences, much like the Jade master was with the young man that was seeking to be a jade master himself. |
66 | 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:37,560 | Now over time, I read that book multiple times after losing and blowing accounts as a young man. It became clear to me, the young man had an issue, much like I |
67 | 00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:47,490 | did and much like many of you probably do, too. And some of you probably already turned this off. But you'll come back to this one. Those of you that have turned |
68 | 00:12:47,490 --> 00:12:58,110 | it off. And you'll listen to this and it'll make sense to you as well. Later on. When someone has a skill can come to them with your preconceived notions about |
69 | 00:12:58,110 --> 00:13:09,180 | how you should be taught to assume for a moment that you know how you are to be trained and taught implies that you are the educator, you're the master, you're |
70 | 00:13:09,180 --> 00:13:20,790 | the Sensei, you are the guru. So therefore, why are you even looking for someone to teach you because you obviously know more than the student would know, that |
71 | 00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:30,750 | seeks the educator. I've had a lot of individuals like this both female and male, come to me with their ideas about how they should be trained, how they |
72 | 00:13:30,750 --> 00:13:42,180 | should be taught, when they have neither the patience or the understanding that what I'm teaching takes time Case in point my students know and have witnessed |
73 | 00:13:42,180 --> 00:13:55,020 | and now you as public witnesses have watched me call the low of the week in the E Mini s&p. Before the FOMC announcement was given out this week on Wednesday. I |
74 | 00:13:55,020 --> 00:14:08,460 | stated that if I were making the market after FOMC hits the marketplace, that means after all the initial excitement I would reprice the E Mini s&p market |
75 | 00:14:08,460 --> 00:14:14,550 | down to 40 to 50. And as low as 4220. Nothing more. |
76 | 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:29,730 | That's what I tweeted in the lunch hour on Wednesday, August 17 2022. That tweet is still on Twitter. There was no alternative view. There was no plan a plan B, |
77 | 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:39,720 | the bias was bearish. I mentioned that there was a swing high that formed on the daily chart. You'll find that on your daily chart on the August 15 16th and |
78 | 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:53,160 | 17th. That one single candle that has a lower high to the left of it and a lower high to the right of it. Once that occurred after it traded up into its Basa |
79 | 00:14:53,160 --> 00:15:06,210 | liquidity pulled about line and we were watching for weeks now. It finally traded up above that 4308 So 40 through eight was purged. That liquidity was |
80 | 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:14,250 | tapped into engaged and a swing high formed, and FOMC came in went on the 17th of August. |
81 | 00:15:19,799 --> 00:15:33,839 | The following day, on the 18th of August, was a small range day that set up a large range day. Large Range Days come after small Range Days. How do you know |
82 | 00:15:33,839 --> 00:15:42,299 | when a large range day is coming specifically? Well, you have to understand the market dynamics that you're presently under the market has been bullish, it's |
83 | 00:15:42,299 --> 00:15:51,509 | gone up a lot. We called it higher, you walked it and went to a level that I called, with the logic explain it to you in great detail. Once it went to that |
84 | 00:15:51,509 --> 00:16:06,659 | 43 08. Now we wait. Does it create a swing high? It created it I talked about on Twitter. I mentioned I'm not interested in being long or buying. Before FOMC |
85 | 00:16:06,659 --> 00:16:17,609 | came out, I outlined the idea that if I were making the market now obviously at I've been on vacation, I'm not in some office somewhere. I'm not pushing |
86 | 00:16:17,609 --> 00:16:31,409 | buttons. I'm not making the market for the s&p but I stated it, if I were in the place of market making for E Mini s&p, I would reprice down to 40 to 20. Nothing |
87 | 00:16:31,409 --> 00:16:47,459 | more. Bias was bearish. So if yesterday was a small range day, with an up close on its daily chart for E Mini s&p, and I outlined that after FOMC hits the |
88 | 00:16:47,459 --> 00:16:59,879 | market 40 to 50 and 40 to 20. That being the downside draw for a discount. That means the markets going to draw down there. If the market was not algorithmic, |
89 | 00:17:00,509 --> 00:17:16,409 | how would I know that the market would go down to 4220? And nothing lower? Maybe because I am the very person I've always claimed I am. How many times you need |
90 | 00:17:16,409 --> 00:17:30,779 | to see this. For some of you. You've seen this dozens of times. There was no other alternative view. The weekly low was 4220 and three quarters. It printed |
91 | 00:17:30,809 --> 00:17:44,519 | into the 4220s. But not everybody can be ICT and printed the 4220 like I was asking for. So give you a little round of applause for the boys up here at the |
92 | 00:17:44,519 --> 00:17:56,129 | CME they did a pretty good job of taking it to 4320 in three quarters. But had I been in the seat it would have been 4220 even. Now, obviously, I'm being |
93 | 00:17:56,129 --> 00:18:03,869 | facetious because I know there's a lot of people out there that don't believe anything I'm saying. And I think secretly they do. They just wrestle with it |
94 | 00:18:03,869 --> 00:18:16,649 | because that means they have to admit they've been wrong all this time. All but there's so many things I have yet to show. So many proofs when you see things |
95 | 00:18:16,649 --> 00:18:34,109 | like this it's a little alarming how someone could know this in advance if these markets were really independently driven by what supply and demand. know if they |
96 | 00:18:34,109 --> 00:18:46,199 | were driven by retail logic and traders buying and selling pressure, how on earth could I a little old guy from Middle River, Maryland, some demo baller |
97 | 00:18:46,199 --> 00:18:59,699 | that everyone looks to and says that he's full of shit and lies. How could I step out in front of the entire world? Again, and explain exactly what this |
98 | 00:18:59,699 --> 00:19:14,759 | financial instrument the s&p 500 market, a professionally traded all around the world institutions are trading this market. How on earth could I read the palms |
99 | 00:19:14,759 --> 00:19:22,559 | of every retail trader and understand what they're buying and selling pressure was going to cause in the marketplace and reverberate all the way down to |
100 | 00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:39,029 | Friday's close and looking at the low of the week being what? 4220? Yes. For some of you that's things like a motherfucker, doesn't it? But I'm not here to |
101 | 00:19:39,029 --> 00:19:53,099 | beat my chest. I'm not here to say listen, I'm smarter than everybody else. I'm not smart folks. I'm just a very, very, very blessed man. My interest is for you |
102 | 00:19:53,339 --> 00:20:06,989 | to do well. Some of the things that I know I cannot teach you because I cannot teach you. One of those things is what you just witnessed again. Now, |
103 | 00:20:08,460 --> 00:20:16,920 | some of you are going to be pissed off when you hear that, calm yourself and listen, I want to specifically talk about something to you. So that way you |
104 | 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,450 | understand how I had to create a language because I'm not supposed to be teaching this to you. |
105 | 00:20:26,820 --> 00:20:39,450 | But if I create a language, if I create a way of talking and speaking to someone, and you understand that, that logic, that language, that way of |
106 | 00:20:39,450 --> 00:20:50,100 | interpretation, is not rebranding of any kind of retail logic, because there's people out there that will say, supply and demand Wycoff, Elliot wave Gann. |
107 | 00:20:54,390 --> 00:21:05,550 | Those things are how the markets work. And I've already shown you that that is a facade. That is a lie. You know, people just say, Well, you know, it's all about |
108 | 00:21:05,550 --> 00:21:28,440 | volume profile. And it's about trends. Folks, listen. A trend is highly, highly subjective. Trends. In the study of trends are highly subjective across the |
109 | 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:39,060 | board with all traders, what one person may define as a trend when one specific timeframe may not be even considered at all by another trader, using the same |
110 | 00:21:39,060 --> 00:21:51,360 | approach, but just using a different timeframe. Now, what I've taught you, is simply looking at the market, from an algorithmic stance, how does the algorithm |
111 | 00:21:51,360 --> 00:22:00,960 | that delivers price and for any of you that are still sitting on the fence questioning? This guy ICT talking about the markets are ran by an algorithm? |
112 | 00:22:02,430 --> 00:22:12,450 | That's bullshit. Well, where was your guru at this week? Did he call the 40 to 20 level, the weak. There's a lot of folks out there that claim they know how to |
113 | 00:22:12,450 --> 00:22:29,820 | trade this market. And here's the thing. The things I use and implement, they're not limited to Forex. The logic I'm using that's outside of the chart can be |
114 | 00:22:29,820 --> 00:22:42,000 | used for any financial instrument. But you're not supposed to know these things, folks. So either you can sit back and take your pop shots from the sidelines, |
115 | 00:22:42,570 --> 00:22:53,640 | and heckle thinking that you're going to convince me to spill the beans on the things I'm not willing to talk about. I'm not, I can't. But every now and then, |
116 | 00:22:53,970 --> 00:23:05,880 | I have to show you who I am. Where I came from, and what I know. Now, again, I mentioned that some of you are gonna get pissed off at that, why even bring it |
117 | 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:14,280 | up. Because there's a lot of people out there claiming that Smart Money concepts, which is my whole life's work. That's where that term came from me. |
118 | 00:23:14,730 --> 00:23:29,010 | referring to it as such. old videos on YouTube. Let's not wake off Wycoff could have never told you a little the week recipe wasn't there. Like I said before, |
119 | 00:23:30,060 --> 00:23:38,040 | if he was alive, he'd be my student. He'd be subscribed to a YouTube channel, he'd be following me on Twitter. And that sounds arrogant, but it's not. When |
120 | 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:47,610 | you really strip it away, peel back all the layers of the onion. Because I'm not sweet to everybody. I'm offensive to some of you. And it sounds like arrogance. |
121 | 00:23:47,610 --> 00:23:57,480 | But when really it's just authority. Some of you have an authority complex, you don't like being spoken to, when someone has authority. And I'm speaking from a |
122 | 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:14,640 | position of authority, I have something that you can't ever obtain. But the teacher in me is always looking for a way to bridge that gap, both ethically and |
123 | 00:24:14,670 --> 00:24:30,570 | legally. Because these markets, you don't have a snowball's chance in hell, unless you have logic that is rooted in sound realistic understanding. And if |
124 | 00:24:30,570 --> 00:24:39,180 | you think for a minute that you're going to draw a trendline or you're going to have some kind of indicator on your chart, and that is how these markets are |
125 | 00:24:39,180 --> 00:24:52,170 | going to bend to your will in the riches this pour into your account. You are fucking nuts. And that's why retail traders beat their brains in all the time |
126 | 00:24:53,100 --> 00:25:02,820 | because they want these things that they've been told by the books and the teachers and the liars in this industry. All these got us Stick it out. You'll, |
127 | 00:25:02,850 --> 00:25:11,220 | you'll get it, you'll get it. As long as you're pulling up indicators. And looking at things that have absolutely no reason why these markets book price |
128 | 00:25:11,220 --> 00:25:20,460 | the way they do, you're always going to miss the mark. Period. So if you're losing anything retail logic, |
129 | 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:31,260 | and what I'm teaching is not retail. I've already put out there, I have $500,000. Right now again, I've said this before openly $500,000 You find my |
130 | 00:25:31,260 --> 00:25:46,650 | concepts in anything else anywhere ever, in writing in video prior to 1996. Fire in 1000 hours is yours, I can come to where you are, and hand deliver it to you |
131 | 00:25:47,100 --> 00:26:04,530 | cashier's check my money, okay, a million. No, no enough, 2 million, 5 million. Folks, it's not out there. This was not out there until I talked about it. And |
132 | 00:26:04,530 --> 00:26:18,660 | you young guys. He just, he just wants people worshipping. No, I just want you to understand what I had to go through to obtain this, you'd never would have |
133 | 00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:26,940 | went through. And when you see these kids on YouTube, because they can't make money trading, they can't prove that what they've done in the past is |
134 | 00:26:26,940 --> 00:26:40,140 | profitable. And they don't like the meteoric rise of my YouTube channel, in the community that I've been blessed with. I'm telling you, you're gonna start |
135 | 00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:49,950 | seeing a whole lot of trolls. And you're gonna see neutrals that you've never seen before. Why? Because there's people that don't want me doing what I'm |
136 | 00:26:49,950 --> 00:27:02,580 | doing. It's obvious. It's obvious. And I say this all the time to my private group, you're not supposed to know this keep to yourself. Oh, he sounds like a |
137 | 00:27:02,580 --> 00:27:18,960 | cult. Now. It's not a cult. But the language I had to create. That's what I'm sharing with the core content lessons. Now, none of my private group, students |
138 | 00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:29,610 | found profitability with just those videos alone knowing say that, again, because I just reminded them of this in the form. Not one of my private group |
139 | 00:27:29,670 --> 00:27:42,600 | students ever just watched those videos and walked out into the marketplace and found profitability. You're gonna have to take this information and work with it |
140 | 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:51,600 | for a while, study it. And some of the things that you're going to come across in the teachings are going to feel like they don't resonate with you at all, |
141 | 00:27:51,750 --> 00:28:02,700 | that's fine. But when you go through the entirety of all 12 months of the core content, that means every single lesson you you're going to come across |
142 | 00:28:02,700 --> 00:28:10,830 | something that really resonates with you, you may not fully understand it, you may feel like I like this, I think this makes sense a little bit, but I just |
143 | 00:28:10,830 --> 00:28:19,980 | don't know enough about it. That's fine. Make a note in your journal, come back to that, that particular study. And when you're watching these videos, listen, |
144 | 00:28:20,010 --> 00:28:29,910 | folks, I said this to my original group, and I said this to every group that came in all the way through to last year in 2021. Nobody can join that community |
145 | 00:28:29,940 --> 00:28:39,090 | don't ask me, I'm not putting videos up for them. Okay, I'm not doing any live sessions with them are not calling trades, I'm not even calling the market for |
146 | 00:28:39,090 --> 00:28:51,960 | them anymore. They are at the stage where they have to take what they've been given and make that ethical for themselves. It's not a hand holding session in |
147 | 00:28:51,960 --> 00:29:05,250 | perpetuity. It's a forced out of the nest. This is what you have, what makes sense to you, and you work with that. And then you may want to add more to it |
148 | 00:29:05,250 --> 00:29:18,120 | with other things that's been taught. But you strip it down to one particular simple model. In my mentorship that was paid, that is a freak show for |
149 | 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:28,800 | everything that's available that I can divulge. And taking those things together. Not one model uses everything that I teach. So the common misnomer is |
150 | 00:29:30,090 --> 00:29:40,560 | I'm gonna take ICTs entire core content, mentorship lessons, and I'm going to make the Frankenstein of all models, everything's gonna be in the model. That's |
151 | 00:29:40,590 --> 00:29:50,310 | not how you do this. In fact, I've watched every single year that I had mentorship groups coming in. There'd be a large group of the young guys and gals |
152 | 00:29:50,310 --> 00:29:59,250 | come in here and try that very thing. The kitchen sink approach. They tried to make everything I've ever taught, apply to the marketplace right now. And that's |
153 | 00:29:59,250 --> 00:30:12,540 | not a How I taught it. You just need a concept that allows you to go in at the right time with the right motive. Engage, take your pound of flesh on the |
154 | 00:30:12,540 --> 00:30:20,310 | marketplace, and leave quietly and look for another opportunity, not right away. But when it makes no sense. |
155 | 00:30:22,170 --> 00:30:33,450 | And experience is the greatest teacher, you'll learn how to do more, you'll know when to apply more leverage through experience, but you start by going into this |
156 | 00:30:34,650 --> 00:30:49,500 | prepared to be bored. Because if it's boring to you, that means you're not going to be drugged around by your emotions or psychology. While you're in markets or |
157 | 00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:56,850 | looking at price, you're not going to be enticed tolling Come on, you just learned that thing. You just learned about the Bisi in the city. You just |
158 | 00:30:56,850 --> 00:31:07,230 | learned about consequent Kurtzman, come on has come out there and push a button. resist that. resist that, folks. Here's what's going to happen. There's a lot of |
159 | 00:31:07,230 --> 00:31:14,730 | you that have found this model that I gave out on YouTube. It's gone across the entire world. I mean, there's lots of people getting funded, a lot of people |
160 | 00:31:14,730 --> 00:31:24,780 | making real money. It's proof all over the place that this stuff works. Smart Money concepts are not dead. I'm not dead, my stuff's gonna live on past me. |
161 | 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:36,780 | Trust me, when I tell you, books will be written about the experience that you are right here in history, living it. You're here. You're listening to the guy |
162 | 00:31:37,050 --> 00:31:51,450 | right now with breath in his lungs, mental faculties still with me. And I'm telling you, these things are going to be a divider. Everything before this is |
163 | 00:31:51,450 --> 00:32:10,950 | going to be looked upon as elementary. infantile, redundant. And those things sound arrogant. But again, I simply ask, without any ego at all. Where have you |
164 | 00:32:10,950 --> 00:32:25,350 | ever seen anyone? Show this level of precision this far in advance? So consistently, not just in forex anymore, but I did it in this market. You |
165 | 00:32:25,350 --> 00:32:36,570 | shouldn't be surprised. I cut my teeth in this market back in the 90s. And the bond market as well. So Forex crashes because there's a one world currency one |
166 | 00:32:36,570 --> 00:32:49,020 | world government, well, you won't have Forex. All the central banks and the digital currencies that are out there usher in all that stuff will make multiple |
167 | 00:32:49,050 --> 00:32:58,650 | currencies all around the world. redundant. You'll have one one currency. I do believe it's going to be on the blockchain. I do believe it will not be Bitcoin. |
168 | 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:13,680 | I've already mentioned this before. But I believe that trading will still be available. And I think as long as that's available, they will use these concepts |
169 | 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:24,420 | because this is how they book price. Now some of you can listen to these discussions, these conversations amongst friends. And you're gonna be thinking, |
170 | 00:33:24,420 --> 00:33:34,350 | hey, you know, this is all becoming mainstream, like the jokers on YouTube like to say, oh, everybody's doing Smart Money concepts. Now, no, everybody's using |
171 | 00:33:34,350 --> 00:33:45,420 | my terms or renaming my concepts, but not really able to do what it is I'm teaching you. How do you know that because they can't do what I'm doing. By |
172 | 00:33:45,420 --> 00:34:00,300 | contrast, they're not even in the same vicinity or neighborhood. Last year in 2021, I watched and I thought to myself, there's a lot of people out there |
173 | 00:34:00,810 --> 00:34:16,230 | pretending, pretending they know how the banks trade. None of you know how the banks trade none of you do. In fact, people at banks reached out to me all the |
174 | 00:34:16,230 --> 00:34:29,730 | time and asked me how I know what I know. floor traders. You know, the guys that used to hold their hand out and flashed your hands up and back and forth. Here |
175 | 00:34:29,730 --> 00:34:43,560 | buy sell, buy sell there amongst law students as well. And again, the question comes all the time. How the fuck do you know this? Right now I could be up here |
176 | 00:34:43,590 --> 00:34:57,210 | every fucking day on YouTube. beating my chest like I was when I was 20 years old and thought I own the entire world. I had insight that nobody else had. And |
177 | 00:34:57,210 --> 00:35:14,850 | I flaunted it. You and brought the wrong type of attention. I'm aware of what I hold. I'm aware of what I know. And I know what I'm capable of doing with it. |
178 | 00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:24,930 | And in the wrong hands, obviously, you've seen enough of it with these people that have ripped me off and tried to pretend they've created something new when |
179 | 00:35:24,930 --> 00:35:34,740 | it's drawing, the concepts that you're gonna see in these videos that were released in 2016, through 2017. And you're gonna see, suddenly, all of these |
180 | 00:35:34,740 --> 00:35:50,490 | things that these young kids would have never even learned, they haven't even been alive long enough. They've simply just went, took notes, like scribes, and |
181 | 00:35:50,490 --> 00:36:02,040 | said, I'm gonna rename this and I'm gonna sell courses and take trips to Bora Bora not on profits from trading, but repackaging something they had no right to |
182 | 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:18,660 | do. So in a way, yes, I am waging war. I warned everyone last year that I said, I was going to come out and show everybody where this all came from. And there's |
183 | 00:36:18,660 --> 00:36:26,850 | people out there trying to make money in ad revenue to pay for things that can't afford what they're trading through ad revenue. They have mortgage payment to |
184 | 00:36:26,850 --> 00:36:36,360 | pay tax liens that pay off still. So they have to do things to try to build themselves up to fluffed themselves up in front of other people. Because they |
185 | 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:48,000 | lacked character. They lack skill. And a lot of terrible things have been said about me. Lots of terrible things that aren't even true. still goes on today. |
186 | 00:36:48,300 --> 00:37:00,570 | And you're gonna see more of that. Because the idea is for you to doubt, the idea is for you to doubt, and then consider something else. What I'm going to |
187 | 00:37:00,570 --> 00:37:13,110 | ask you to do is, consider what you've seen. There's a young man from, from what I gathered is from Ethiopia. Now I get asked a lot about, I have a lot of |
188 | 00:37:13,110 --> 00:37:26,130 | students from Africa. You can say what you want to say, but there's one race, it's the human race. When I fill out any legal document that asks me what my |
189 | 00:37:26,130 --> 00:37:43,230 | race is, I write human. They want me and expect me to write White, I'm not white. I'm not white. But these individuals that are extremely racist, that call |
190 | 00:37:43,230 --> 00:37:55,500 | upon the fact that I have a lot of students in third world countries that have inclined their ear, have worked very hard to learn the things that I'm teaching, |
191 | 00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:11,400 | with a great deal, more adversities than a majority of you listening. And they are finding themselves out of poverty. Can you imagine how wonderful that feels |
192 | 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:34,740 | for me, as a teacher, as a mentor, that moves me that type of success. That is impactful. And that's what motivates me. Because you may be living in the lap of |
193 | 00:38:34,740 --> 00:38:44,850 | luxury in this country. And when I say that, not because you may have the same influence that I have, or could afford myself to have. But you have the benefits |
194 | 00:38:44,850 --> 00:38:56,370 | of being in this country, and the freedoms that we have here. And the resources that are made available to us. And you sit on your ass and you do nothing. And |
195 | 00:38:56,370 --> 00:39:05,490 | you make excuses why you're not doing anything with the things I'm teaching. And you want someone to come out there and just prove that I'm a scammer a fraud. So |
196 | 00:39:05,490 --> 00:39:17,520 | that way, it makes it easier for you to just deal with the fact that you're fucking lazy. That's what it is. That's exactly what it is. You're lazy. You |
197 | 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:29,880 | want this to be easy cookie cutter approach. Same thing all the time. Turn it on, money falls in your bank account. It doesn't work like that. You're gonna |
198 | 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:49,320 | have to work your ass off and the things you're going to learn. They may cause confusion. Don't let it disrupt your learning. Each video, each video, you |
199 | 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:59,070 | journaling. When you get to a part of the video, that is a cause for concern. Questions that are going to come up. What does he mean by this? Why did he |
200 | 00:39:59,070 --> 00:40:07,170 | mention this and why did he Imagine that you need to have a notebook for every individual month, |
201 | 00:40:08,849 --> 00:40:17,609 | because you're gonna have a lot of questions that are come up. And then when you go through new lessons, those questions, I promise you, it won't feel like this. |
202 | 00:40:18,269 --> 00:40:29,639 | But when you go through all the videos a second time, you're gonna find that those answers were always there. You're gonna listen to videos, and swear that |
203 | 00:40:29,639 --> 00:40:37,649 | that video was edited. And something was added to it after the fact. And I had that happen all the time. From every user group that came into my mentorship, |
204 | 00:40:37,829 --> 00:40:45,809 | they always said the same thing, how the hell that I missed that. It's been there, they downloaded the video, it's been in their computer, I couldn't go in |
205 | 00:40:45,809 --> 00:40:53,729 | there and change it. But they'll swear up and down that they didn't hear that the first time they listened to it, because they're doing too many videos at one |
206 | 00:40:53,729 --> 00:41:04,859 | time. So you have to be number one, you have to be patient. It's intended for you to take a full year doing it. And if you rush it, I promise you, you're |
207 | 00:41:04,859 --> 00:41:16,349 | gonna be the same person like these other Yahoo's out there to say, Oh, it doesn't work. Focus on my retail logic, instead of all that complication. It's |
208 | 00:41:16,349 --> 00:41:26,009 | not complicated, folks. Once you understand the language, it's not complicated at all, but the language like any other language. Well, how many of you know how |
209 | 00:41:26,009 --> 00:41:40,709 | to speak Mandarin? I don't. And that's difficult. Can you read and write in Japanese? Can you write in Kanji? Can you read Kanji? I can some. But can I go |
210 | 00:41:40,709 --> 00:41:51,839 | out there and just pick up any old book and start reading it in Japanese now. It would take effort on my part. To do that. It's like anyone else. Just like |
211 | 00:41:51,839 --> 00:42:01,109 | reading sheet music. You want to be a musician and a musician requires you to do what? Understand the notes that make up these chords and make the songs sound |
212 | 00:42:01,109 --> 00:42:11,759 | the way they're supposed to sound. How to write the music? Well, this is no different than that. It's going to take effort, and it isn't going to be easy |
213 | 00:42:12,149 --> 00:42:23,129 | for most of you. But listen, folks, I have been out here this entire year of 2022 doing exactly what I said I was going to do last year, when people were |
214 | 00:42:23,129 --> 00:42:33,779 | crowing and saying I'm a scammer a fraud. And I'm this and I'm that I had a hit list of things I was going to do for all of you just to prove checking off each |
215 | 00:42:33,779 --> 00:42:42,029 | box. Can't call daily, high and low. I've done that multiple times. Can't call weekly, high and low before the fact and make it public. I've done that several |
216 | 00:42:42,029 --> 00:42:46,139 | times. Not even just Forex. I've done it in other markets. |
217 | 00:42:52,500 --> 00:43:00,750 | There's a lot of people out there trying to sell you something. I'm not gonna sit here and twist your arm and tell you please listen to me. Please watch my |
218 | 00:43:00,750 --> 00:43:11,010 | videos, please. I need your attention. I need the attention from you. I need you to love me. Because if it's really going to come down to the brass tacks of all |
219 | 00:43:11,010 --> 00:43:22,440 | this, I don't give a shit if any of you believe me. I don't I don't care if you believe me. Because I already know that there's an army of people all around |
220 | 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:31,110 | this world, in different countries everywhere that are now convinced they're gonna fucker walk in this planet right now. They will ever convince them that |
221 | 00:43:31,110 --> 00:43:42,600 | what they've learned from me, isn't the market itself. Their results tell them they don't need me to make another video ever again. They don't give a shit. If |
222 | 00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:56,250 | I ever teach again. Because now they know that they know. That's empowerment, folks. That's what I want for all of you. I don't want you waiting on bated |
223 | 00:43:56,250 --> 00:44:09,480 | breath for me to do something new. I'm pouring myself out. That way, nobody can take what I've worked very hard for suffered through and ultimately have been |
224 | 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:22,350 | blessed with. This way no one can take it and repackage it and sell it and get by with everybody thinking, wow, this person's a trailblazer. This person has |
225 | 00:44:22,350 --> 00:44:32,310 | really done something unique and different when the only thing they've done is parrot what I've said and hide the fact that they learned it from me. Now, for |
226 | 00:44:32,310 --> 00:44:45,660 | some of you pricks and assholes out there that do those types of things. One guy wrote a book and put it on Amazon and I was in the the most liked. Comment on |
227 | 00:44:45,660 --> 00:44:55,470 | the reviews. I bought the bullshit that he wrote in it's all garbage. It's all my concepts, just renamed. And no credit was given in everybody that was |
228 | 00:44:55,470 --> 00:45:02,790 | mentioned in that book because they were mentioned as my mentors. Those individuals, they were given credit, but never really specifically saying this |
229 | 00:45:02,790 --> 00:45:12,750 | is where this came from. And I said, this is all basically my YouTube stuff, repackaged. And pretty much everybody that buys a book now sees they go to my |
230 | 00:45:12,750 --> 00:45:19,950 | YouTube channel, notice, there's a couple other people that have done books like that on Amazon. And it's just really my concepts, this, again, hiding the fact |
231 | 00:45:19,950 --> 00:45:28,380 | that they got it from me, I will be in your reviews, and people will know you that you're a shitbag, okay, and you're not going to carve out the image that |
232 | 00:45:28,380 --> 00:45:36,330 | you want for yourself, I will make sure that I have plenty of free time, lots of fucking money. And I will make sure that you don't have the credit and clout |
233 | 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:48,600 | that you're trying to get off of my name. So where does that leave you? You're welcome to say I trained you, you're welcome to say that you learned it from me. |
234 | 00:45:48,600 --> 00:46:01,680 | And that's fine. I don't have any problem with that. That's what respect is. Can you run your own service and give out signals and your own analysis and have no |
235 | 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:09,120 | beef with me? Absolutely. I encourage every one of my students to do that. All of them, I tell them all the time, you're welcome to say that you were trained |
236 | 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:18,480 | by me, but you better fucking have the results. Because Because I'm showing what these results should look like. If you're not precise, you didn't learn from me. |
237 | 00:46:20,430 --> 00:46:30,330 | If you're not consistent, you didn't learn from me. Your trading when I stop loss, you didn't learn from me. If you don't know why you're getting in a trade |
238 | 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:48,960 | and where it's going, you did not learn from me. They're characteristics of an ICT student an apt pupil of Smart Money concepts. Otherwise known as me, just |
239 | 00:46:48,960 --> 00:47:03,870 | me. Now, once we begin next week, the direction of the YouTube channel and the Twitter is going to change gears a little bit because we're going into the fall, |
240 | 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:17,190 | my focus is to build up my son, and my attention and energy is going to be there. By default, you're gonna have a lot of questions, a lot of interest, |
241 | 00:47:17,190 --> 00:47:29,790 | because of the new videos that come up daily on YouTube channel. I'm going to prompt you on Twitter, with certain things that you may find. Not as |
242 | 00:47:29,790 --> 00:47:36,600 | interesting, but they're going to be noteworthy. As the mentor, you're going to recall these things as you go deeper into the content. |
243 | 00:47:38,070 --> 00:47:46,590 | Those types of things. If you're one of my private membership group students that rushed through, you're actually having the opportunity to do this correctly |
244 | 00:47:46,590 --> 00:47:56,520 | the right way. So instead of bitching about how I'm giving away mentorship for free, now I'm giving away free chapters of an entire work that you have access |
245 | 00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:05,250 | to. These are just the chapters I'm giving away for free. Because this is going to answer all the questions about where did all the smart money concepts really |
246 | 00:48:05,250 --> 00:48:17,100 | come from me it didn't come from like off. Didn't come from Chris Laurie. Didn't come from Larry Williams. It didn't come from Georgia. And Joe didn't come from |
247 | 00:48:17,100 --> 00:48:30,120 | Linda Raschke their mind. Now, there are things that I will cover and mention. And if there isn't influenced by anyone out there, I'll tell you that they had |
248 | 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:41,010 | an influence on me in this time of my development, generally about this, the very year I did it. That way they receive the proper credit. And that way, |
249 | 00:48:41,010 --> 00:48:53,310 | you'll have the full panoramic view of how core content was delivered, and you go through it properly. If you're struggling and you got the shit on the slide, |
250 | 00:48:53,340 --> 00:49:03,240 | or you bought it from somebody, okay. You found out that that wasn't it was it? Some of you are all itching right now you can't wait for these videos to start |
251 | 00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:09,330 | dropping. Because you think it's going to be you watch the video and go out there tomorrow and start making money. I'm telling you right now, it isn't going |
252 | 00:49:09,330 --> 00:49:23,250 | to be like that. There's going to be so much information is going to shut you down mentally. It's designed to teach you every facet of market analysis, top |
253 | 00:49:23,250 --> 00:49:32,580 | down, bottom up. And it allows you to go in and use your own individual personality this okay, how can I take what I've been given? Because I teach |
254 | 00:49:32,580 --> 00:49:44,220 | timing techniques. I teach selection techniques. I teach seasonal influences. I teach every aspect of trading modularly that way, you as the trader that's in |
255 | 00:49:44,220 --> 00:49:58,740 | development can bring your individual personality to it. That's required. Not just for me, but every every facet of trading profitably consistently. You have |
256 | 00:49:58,740 --> 00:50:09,630 | to have your own individual personality as part of that model, if it doesn't have that, you're fucking doomed. If you have any short term profitability, it's |
257 | 00:50:09,630 --> 00:50:19,740 | exactly that short term, wait around long enough, keep trading it, you will lose money, because your personality is uniquely who you are. And if you think for a |
258 | 00:50:19,740 --> 00:50:29,550 | minute that you're just going to go out there and buy somebody system, by somebody's concepts, follow somebody blindly. And that's going to be longevity |
259 | 00:50:29,550 --> 00:50:37,740 | and consistently profitable for you. You're fucking nuts. It doesn't work that way, folks, it does not work that way. Because here's what's going to happen. |
260 | 00:50:38,370 --> 00:50:45,540 | One day, you're going to wake up, and you're going to have an argument with your spouse or your significant other, you're gonna get your case vs. You're gonna be |
261 | 00:50:45,540 --> 00:50:55,890 | mad, something's gonna go wrong. And that is going to cause you to be doing what you're going to be bringing toxicity into your trading. It doesn't matter who |
262 | 00:50:55,890 --> 00:51:04,980 | promises it, you follow them, they'll make money. You'll make money. Everybody makes money. That's bullshit. So if that's bullshit, if you haven't been around |
263 | 00:51:04,980 --> 00:51:15,210 | long enough, trust me, you're gonna find it that is absolute grade a bullshit. Nobody else is gonna go out here and do what I've done. I've given away my |
264 | 00:51:15,210 --> 00:51:27,480 | life's work. I've poured it out into other people. I don't even know who you are. I've never shook your hand. I've never stared you eye to eye. None. I don't |
265 | 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:39,480 | know any of you. If anybody else had what I have, they would have never taught it. They never would have given it away. They never would have sold it, they |
266 | 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:51,420 | never would have given access to it. They never would have done that. Think about it. Be honest right now. Would you fucking done it? No, you wouldn't have, |
267 | 00:51:51,930 --> 00:51:59,430 | you never would have done it. Especially all these 20 year olds that are pretending they learn this on their own. Their career is about to have a major |
268 | 00:51:59,430 --> 00:52:18,240 | tailspin. Because people are gonna realize they're fake. And they're a fraud. And their stolen clout is gonna bring them more grief than all the honor they |
269 | 00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:29,910 | thought they would never see because there's some young prodigy. No, no, no, no, no. So this is one of those discussions we have where it doesn't make you feel |
270 | 00:52:29,910 --> 00:52:38,790 | good. It wasn't meant to make you feel good. It's to make you understand that what you're about to embark on is either going to help you. |
271 | 00:52:40,860 --> 00:52:51,360 | Or it's going to derail you derailing those individuals that already found their model with a YouTube channel 2020 mentorship, I am going to repeat it again, |
272 | 00:52:51,360 --> 00:53:03,210 | because you probably didn't pay attention when I first said it. If you already are making money, and you're consistently able to find setups, do not embark on |
273 | 00:53:03,210 --> 00:53:16,860 | what I'm going to start releasing next week, I promise you, you will fuck up. Everything you got going on right now. Period. I have stripped down everything |
274 | 00:53:16,980 --> 00:53:29,940 | that you're going to see on all these core content lessons, I stripped it down that way you can see how a model is designed. My students have 12 other ones. |
275 | 00:53:31,110 --> 00:53:40,560 | And I have people in there that say, I can't make any of these work. Okay? And to answer those individuals, I made this public so that way I could show them |
276 | 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:48,120 | and everybody else in the mentorship and everybody else around the world that doubted me and said I was a fraud. A scammer I don't have a trade. I can't teach |
277 | 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:58,950 | anybody how to trade and then my students make money. I think did a gentleman. If I'm not mistaken, I think he mentioned I maybe may have misread it. But if my |
278 | 00:53:58,950 --> 00:54:07,350 | memory serves me correctly, and if I'm reading the information correctly, I believe there's a gentleman from Ethiopia, who has moved to Canada. And I'm |
279 | 00:54:07,380 --> 00:54:16,680 | probably taking a great deal Liberty saying this because I don't know for certain, but my understanding is is he just recently made it to the number two |
280 | 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:28,800 | spot on the FTM Oh leaderboard and has withdrawn 55,000 plus dollars for his efforts in his trading account. Now, you see a lot of these guys out there on |
281 | 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:36,480 | YouTube. They're advertised and saying, Hey, look, you know, we're teaching how the banks trade and we're getting all these people funded and stuff. What you |
282 | 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:50,940 | have done is parroted my concepts and my content and claimed ownership, that you create this. If you have my words and you repeat them. You're not teaching shit. |
283 | 00:54:51,600 --> 00:55:01,230 | You're parenting. So I gave all those individuals the Insight they'll have in the family because they're trading with my concepts, my content and Smart Money |
284 | 00:55:01,230 --> 00:55:19,380 | concepts ICT, me. But this gentleman somehow, from some strange twist of events, managed to get all of it to the number two spot on scmo. And I don't think they |
285 | 00:55:19,380 --> 00:55:30,780 | do a leaderboard for like the demo account, do they? You can correct me if I'm wrong, they're on Twitter. But a $55,000 withdrawal. I think that's pretty |
286 | 00:55:30,780 --> 00:55:39,270 | respectable, no matter where you're from. And I'm sure he could probably remember back when he was younger. And the things he had to endure for 55,000 |
287 | 00:55:39,270 --> 00:55:48,240 | hours is something significant is a life changing event. And imagine if you had $55,000 Right now, here's the amazing thing. I don't even know this person. And |
288 | 00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:58,230 | I sure as hell didn't give them trades. I didn't tell them what to buy and sell. So if this is not a transferable skill set, so pray to tell how does this person |
289 | 00:55:58,770 --> 00:56:12,210 | find himself in a position where $55,000 is now awarded to him. I mentioned on Twitter, I said, I would love to sit down and talk to you. I'd like to know what |
290 | 00:56:12,210 --> 00:56:22,920 | it was like for him to go through it, to learn the hardships he had to endure all these questions that I know that you have them in your development as well. |
291 | 00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:35,940 | For folks, listen, a lot of my students don't want the attention. This person came out and posted, showed proof that they're on the leaderboard proof that |
292 | 00:56:35,940 --> 00:56:50,160 | their accounts, what it is proof that they've been paid out. And there's still people out there saying Fake, fake, fake. Listen, I see this more than you |
293 | 00:56:50,160 --> 00:57:01,110 | realize. But they don't want that attention. Because firstly, they don't care. You think this person that made $55,000 with their own trading? Using what I've |
294 | 00:57:01,110 --> 00:57:10,860 | taught? You think they give a fuck what you think? Do you really think they give a shit? They don't care who fucking thinks they did or didn't do it. They're |
295 | 00:57:10,860 --> 00:57:21,000 | gonna be spending that money on the things that they want need. And not given two shits, what you or anybody else thinks about it. That's the attitude. That's |
296 | 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:32,910 | how it's supposed to be everything that social media has touched his turn to shit. I left Twitter because they started censoring me. That's why I left. |
297 | 00:57:32,940 --> 00:57:40,980 | Nobody pushed me to fuck off at Twitter. People see how they treat me and my students because they're, |
298 | 00:57:42,450 --> 00:57:55,290 | well they're intimidated by him. They're intimidated, because for a long time, I've won the crown of demo baller. And so many things have been lied and said |
299 | 00:57:55,290 --> 00:58:07,680 | about me. And then later on, quietly redacted. Cool, quietly set weights in there in case they get sued. While really said it didn't, he didn't really do |
300 | 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:19,530 | those things. We're just calling it satire now. So hopefully Kitces the eye of canceled culture. But I'm gonna ask you a question. Who do you think people are |
301 | 00:58:19,530 --> 00:58:30,330 | gonna give two shits more about the guy that's literally laying the ATM machine in their hands and given them the PIN code for free. Or the jackasses out there |
302 | 00:58:30,330 --> 00:58:45,780 | trying to derail anybody that wants to learn from them. Namely me. And theirs SP but they're really still trying to do that. That's insanity. That's how you know |
303 | 00:58:45,810 --> 00:58:56,190 | I'm living in their head rent free. And I have already defeated them. Because they're out there consciously every single day trying to do something to |
304 | 00:58:56,190 --> 00:59:14,580 | undermine what I'm doing for free. And there's results pokes widespread results. I guarantee you I'm probably most likely the most funded student mentor out |
305 | 00:59:14,580 --> 00:59:29,340 | there Guaran damn tee because that YouTube channel and at the start of this recording, I took a look at it real quick. I have 310,000 students on YouTube. |
306 | 00:59:29,910 --> 00:59:39,720 | And for that, folks, I am absolutely honored. And I appreciate and thank you for that. Majority of the comments I see on the channel. She is by people that are |
307 | 00:59:39,720 --> 00:59:51,450 | actually not subscribed to my channel. So I know the reaches farther than that. And I've often wondered how many actually really do come back to the channel and |
308 | 00:59:51,450 --> 01:00:03,480 | see what's going on. Because I don't believe the numbers are accurate, like 310 subscribers but there's really not that many views on the videos. And as jerks |
309 | 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:10,380 | out there, saying I'm buying subscribers, and why the fuck would I even worry about buying a subscriber? Like, really? What do I need that for? I'm not |
310 | 01:00:10,380 --> 01:00:22,230 | selling anything. Either the videos get watched or they don't get watched and whatever. If I had just 50 people that were really passionate about learning, |
311 | 01:00:23,340 --> 01:00:31,200 | you know, that's how I started. It was a small group they didn't know they didn't know who I was. And when I first stepped out on baby pips, it was a very |
312 | 01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:43,290 | small group that would be in the chat room every time I showed up, but eventually, we would shut it down. The chat wouldn't work anymore. Glitch. So I |
313 | 01:00:43,290 --> 01:00:59,160 | know that this information is going to be met with a lot of questions. Okay. And you've recently watched me this year, open up my comment section on all of my |
314 | 01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:12,630 | videos for the 2020 mentorship group. And I mentioned before, the reason why I keep the comments section close is because it's basically sugar, love and |
315 | 01:01:12,630 --> 01:01:24,780 | worship. And I don't like that. And it's been very difficult for me to hold on to the videos with the comment sections open this long. Not because I don't |
316 | 01:01:24,810 --> 01:01:39,240 | appreciate your affection, and not because I don't appreciate your adoration towards me. I do. But some of you simply do it too much. And I don't consider |
317 | 01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:47,460 | myself the greatest of all time. I don't like being called the goat. And I like being called a king. I don't like to be worshipped. Okay. And you might not |
318 | 01:01:47,460 --> 01:01:58,080 | think that's what it is. But that's exactly how it's perceived by other people and me. And I don't like that. I don't like it. It makes me uncomfortable. So |
319 | 01:01:59,190 --> 01:02:10,650 | going forward, starting next week, I won't have a video up on Monday, it'll the first video I put up as on the 22nd of August. The video going forward will not |
320 | 01:02:10,650 --> 01:02:17,910 | have the comment section open. Now some of you are like, Oh, well, we need to open cuz I want to ask questions. I'm not going to answer your questions. I |
321 | 01:02:17,910 --> 01:02:24,600 | already mentioned earlier in this video, that every question you have, write it down in your journal for that individual video. |
322 | 01:02:25,950 --> 01:02:36,060 | If you do that, when you come to a new video, something's going to be in that video. There's Oh, yeah. Let me go back and look at that group of questions I |
323 | 01:02:36,060 --> 01:02:43,800 | had from the previous month's content. And were there any questions that were answered there? And then you were gonna write down the answers to that question |
324 | 01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:51,330 | you had? And because you wrote it in a question format? And because you wrote the answer that you discovered in another video later on, that later on |
325 | 01:02:51,330 --> 01:03:02,550 | Discovery, that answers that question, will now be rooted in an event that is more meaningful to you. So it will be less likely for you to what forget that |
326 | 01:03:02,580 --> 01:03:14,700 | note taking done properly. And that's the byproduct of going through the process of going through the mentorship videos one by one. Not skipping around, not |
327 | 01:03:14,700 --> 01:03:23,790 | picking what video sounds titled better than the other one. If you're not going to N gauge with every single video from beginning in, in order to I'm going to |
328 | 01:03:23,790 --> 01:03:33,090 | put them out. Don't do this, folks, because the results will be affected by that. But you don't need comment sections open. Because I'm not going to |
329 | 01:03:33,090 --> 01:03:41,670 | entertain your questions because that's what private mentorship community gets from me. And that they can then videos anymore. We're a community. They have |
330 | 01:03:41,670 --> 01:03:49,950 | questions, I go through the questions not to the speed they all want because it's a very large group. But that's what they're going through right now. There |
331 | 01:03:49,950 --> 01:03:58,410 | is no secret video collection, I stopped making videos for them because I have people in there that are selling those videos. So that's why I'm doing this. I'm |
332 | 01:03:58,410 --> 01:04:10,530 | taking that market away from them because they fucking offended me. They've abused their invitation into my home thieves. So now I'm going to take your meal |
333 | 01:04:10,530 --> 01:04:23,340 | from you. I'm going to take your scam away from you. And I'm going to place it in the hands of those individuals that you would have demanded them to pay you |
334 | 01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:39,930 | in Bitcoin or through Cash App. Nonsense. These are my things. These videos I'm making public because they have been abused. They've been spread all over the |
335 | 01:04:39,930 --> 01:04:49,650 | world. They've been pirated, copied, rebranded. And you're gonna see all these smart money concepts. All these guys out there that claim to know how to trade |
336 | 01:04:49,650 --> 01:05:00,900 | like a bank, the only thing they've ever done was taken bits and pieces if not the entirety of my mentorship core content videos and So the reason why people |
337 | 01:05:00,900 --> 01:05:09,270 | will complain, he said, make your video shorter because it takes too much fucking time for them to copy something that was done longer. That's why I do |
338 | 01:05:09,270 --> 01:05:20,850 | these long things when I'm teaching. Number one, I need the bandwidth for it because it's not a simple project. It's something that's vast but these Yahoo's, |
339 | 01:05:20,850 --> 01:05:30,270 | they just want something real simple and easy. They can copy it, put it out there real quick. No, your videos are too long. Fuck you go watch somebody else. |
340 | 01:05:33,150 --> 01:05:45,630 | Go watch somebody else, pretend and lie to you. You want someone that's gonna teach you? You have I'm here talking to you right now. I love teaching folks. |
341 | 01:05:45,660 --> 01:06:00,840 | And I can fucking do this every single day of the week. But my tolerance is gone. For people that have abused my life's work. I gave so many instances where |
342 | 01:06:01,380 --> 01:06:11,610 | if they just would have stopped, this event wouldn't be taking place. Like that rampid in the last group that came in. They already bought these videos from |
343 | 01:06:11,610 --> 01:06:22,950 | other people. But the new buying news videos didn't quite do it. So don't be lulled into thinking that going through these core content videos, is going to |
344 | 01:06:22,950 --> 01:06:37,470 | transform you into super hedge fund trader. No. So don't buy him from anybody. Don't go on Instagram and find some I mentorship videos for this that no thing. |
345 | 01:06:38,250 --> 01:06:47,700 | And don't believe anybody that saying ICT is really making interesting videos because I'm not making videos anymore for that private group. We are community |
346 | 01:06:47,730 --> 01:06:56,730 | and we talk in the forum. That's it. And they're just boring questions that people have asked. And all of my profitable students that have found what |
347 | 01:06:56,730 --> 01:07:07,650 | they're looking for, they don't even go in the forum anymore. That's my that's my hope that everybody in the community gets to the point where you know what, I |
348 | 01:07:07,650 --> 01:07:14,100 | appreciate your thing. But we don't need to come back in the form anymore. Because all I'm doing is reading other people in their confusion. And I don't |
349 | 01:07:14,100 --> 01:07:21,210 | need that I know what I'm doing, where I'm going and how I'm going to treat. This has been amazing. Thank you. See you later. That's it, that's graduation. |
350 | 01:07:22,470 --> 01:07:24,510 | That's out that sense was intended to do |
351 | 01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:37,530 | you want to be plugged into me all the time relying on me to talk about where the markets gonna go. You shouldn't want that. And I don't want you to have that |
352 | 01:07:37,530 --> 01:07:50,520 | as my students. I don't want you relying on me needing some kind of service from me. Some kind of gimmick, some kind of system some resource. You don't need shit |
353 | 01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:59,250 | from me once you learn how to trade. Alright, see you later. Thanks ICT, I'm gone. I'm not going to be offended by that. That's exactly what the intended |
354 | 01:07:59,250 --> 01:08:08,220 | purpose of teaching it was going to be all about. That's the approach, teach how to fly and get the fuck out the nest. That's how it's supposed to be because I'm |
355 | 01:08:08,220 --> 01:08:22,740 | not going to be with you forever. I'm not going to be here forever. So learn how to do this independently. That's how a real independent thinking trader grooms |
356 | 01:08:22,740 --> 01:08:35,700 | themselves. They prepare for that day where their educator, their mentor, their teacher. Let's go the bike seat. And it's scary. I have students right now. |
357 | 01:08:36,060 --> 01:08:53,100 | tearfully sending me emails, text messages, messages through trading view. On the forum, tearfully say I don't want this to end. But it will. So make ready |
358 | 01:08:53,100 --> 01:09:09,330 | for that day. That should be an exciting time for you. I'm excited for all of you to have that moment. That's independence. That's power. That is a feeling |
359 | 01:09:10,350 --> 01:09:27,780 | not of invincibility, not supernatural, anything like that, but certainly empowering. And it'll really allow you look back of all the times that you had |
360 | 01:09:27,780 --> 01:09:36,120 | to endure. And all the times you questioned whether or not you're gonna ever be able to do this. Am I ever gonna make money doing this? Am I ever going to be |
361 | 01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:46,110 | able to do this and make money and you discover the things that you were doing was making it harder on yourself? It wasn't me or the concepts? It was you |
362 | 01:09:47,250 --> 01:09:57,930 | you're trying to do more than necessary. How do you know look at what I've taught on the mentorship 2022 Is that a lot of stuff no. So I'm gonna go you're |
363 | 01:09:57,930 --> 01:10:07,110 | taking trades and Michael that are outside The scope of that model, here's a reminder for you, I know how to trade beyond that model. And that's not |
364 | 01:10:07,110 --> 01:10:20,070 | egotistical that's not bragging. I'm just reminding you, I'm not locked into just that model that was given to you as a gift. Here, stop buying bullshit from |
365 | 01:10:20,070 --> 01:10:36,030 | people. Stop believing these people. There's a guy out there that has taken my concepts doesn't credit me. Rafi L. No, no, his last name. But this joker. This |
366 | 01:10:36,030 --> 01:10:45,270 | guy makes $500,000 Every other week, according to his YouTube views. If you add up all the amount of mine, this guy supposedly made you think you'd have better |
367 | 01:10:45,270 --> 01:10:56,130 | cars than he has, and live in a better house. And literally, there's no way this guy's making the kind of money he's making. And honestly, that's the type of |
368 | 01:10:56,130 --> 01:11:10,620 | shit that I'm doing this very thing for. Because these goobers sell my voice. They sell my echo, they sell my concepts. Some of them don't even change the |
369 | 01:11:10,620 --> 01:11:28,170 | name at all. These people believe that this they don't make that kind of money, folks. They don't. Period. And the level of nonsense that is believed on |
370 | 01:11:28,170 --> 01:11:37,170 | Instagram, and Facebook and Twitter had ruffled a lot of feathers on Twitter. I told everybody last year, I was gonna come back. Oh, yeah, you're gonna run him |
371 | 01:11:37,170 --> 01:11:53,460 | off they Tom, where the fuck are you at? Was it in one week? I'm gonna get ran off of Twitter? Oh, yeah, I don't think so. I'm here for all the smoke, too. |
372 | 01:11:53,490 --> 01:11:58,050 | Obviously, you learn a skill set. If you go through to 2020 mentorship. On YouTube, |
373 | 01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:11,460 | you will not learn a model. By going through the core content, mentorship videos, you won't you won't learn that. And if we were all in an auditorium, if |
374 | 01:12:11,460 --> 01:12:21,450 | we could put everybody in one place, and I had the room divided into here's the paid group members. And here's everybody outside of that. And if I was to say, |
375 | 01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:30,180 | Okay, everybody in the pay group, raise your hand, if I went into a model and outlined it as simple as I did on the YouTube channel in any of the paid group |
376 | 01:12:30,180 --> 01:12:40,470 | lessons and lectures, did I make it that simple, that short and cut to the to the point to simply as easy as it is on YouTube channel? They would all say no. |
377 | 01:12:43,980 --> 01:12:51,330 | They would say no. And the question you're probably asking as someone outside that communities is why the fuck would anybody want to go in there? Well, when I |
378 | 01:12:51,330 --> 01:13:02,460 | marketed it, I said it is for freaks to people that says simply want to know everything I'm willing to teach, period. Now I've taught the approach on how to |
379 | 01:13:02,460 --> 01:13:13,860 | build the model. All they have to do is pick the fair value gap and have all the PD arrays, pick the timeframe that are going to use to trade. Are they gonna be |
380 | 01:13:13,860 --> 01:13:21,180 | a day trader or a scalper? These are all things that they were being coached and taught. They have to figure that out. They have to make that decision whether or |
381 | 01:13:21,180 --> 01:13:31,620 | not they can, if they can trade intraday, a lot of people can't do it. But that's okay. They can take the logic they've learned from that YouTube model and |
382 | 01:13:31,620 --> 01:13:45,840 | apply it to what they have learned about swing trading and short term trading or position trading, because it's all scalable. That model is only limited to |
383 | 01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:56,220 | scalping to the neophyte the uninitiated person that simply doesn't know what they're looking at. They think that's a one trick pony. It is not you can take |
384 | 01:13:56,220 --> 01:14:09,420 | that and scale that to any timeframe trading in a will beat the fucking breaks off of anybody else's shit. Period. Bring your shit test yourself. Folks, |
385 | 01:14:09,420 --> 01:14:21,450 | listen. You want to learn how to trade? I've already done that. For free. It's out there on YouTube right now. You want to cut through all the bullshit all the |
386 | 01:14:21,450 --> 01:14:31,290 | boring lessons all of the jawboning the rants, this guy loves to hear himself talk. I did all that for you motherfucker that want to run your mouth and say I |
387 | 01:14:31,290 --> 01:14:45,870 | make too long of videos. I did that just for you. That's how special of a mentor I am. I even look out for the dickheads straight to the point. And it makes |
388 | 01:14:45,870 --> 01:14:57,090 | money. Oh man, does it make money and it works a lot. It's in the charts every day. But if you don't plant your ass in from the charts with the expectation to |
389 | 01:14:57,090 --> 01:15:05,010 | know where the markets going to go, it's going to fail Like it doesn't work. And I have a handful people from each group that came into my private mentorship |
390 | 01:15:05,010 --> 01:15:18,210 | group sending me very salty emails. This is this isn't working. This is a scam? No, you're fucking lazy. You haven't done the work and you don't listen. I |
391 | 01:15:18,210 --> 01:15:28,200 | literally had people going against the commentary, I'm telling you what the markets gonna go, and they would send me emails. Yeah, I'm going short Euro when |
392 | 01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:37,290 | I'm telling you it's gonna go up. I'm shorting euro and none of this shit works. How frustrating. Can you imagine putting up with that? With 10s of 1000s of |
393 | 01:15:37,290 --> 01:15:50,550 | people coming in all the time in your email box. And you got these outliers that come out and say, I'm doing everything opposite to what you're saying. isn't |
394 | 01:15:50,550 --> 01:16:00,240 | working? How the hell? How do you fix that? You're the mentor. You're the teacher? How do you fix that? Do what I just did? Put it out there in the |
395 | 01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:09,150 | public, and let the public prove to them and everyone else that's ever question. This shit works. Yeah, hello. I didn't just learn how to do this last year, |
396 | 01:16:09,150 --> 01:16:24,420 | folks. I've been doing this since I was in the 90s. Yeah, long time doing. And a lot of people you'd be surprised, had been under my tutelage. And because of |
397 | 01:16:24,420 --> 01:16:33,540 | privacy, I can't divulge that. Now they come out and say, Yeah, I trained with ICT then then the cats out of the bag. But you'd be surprised. You would be |
398 | 01:16:33,540 --> 01:16:49,470 | surprised how many that you would know in this industry that have gone through my fold. But I'm not a Name Dropper. And some of them came in with the curiosity |
399 | 01:16:49,470 --> 01:16:58,560 | of saying, Okay, this guy's full of shit, let's say it, and they've gone through it. They're like, this is incredible. And you get to have a little taste of |
400 | 01:16:58,560 --> 01:16:59,490 | something like that. |
401 | 01:17:00,930 --> 01:17:11,340 | Starting next Tuesday. Again, as a reminder, in closing, if you've already found your model with the YouTube channel, 2020 mentorship, do not go into these |
402 | 01:17:11,340 --> 01:17:21,690 | videos, because it's going to cause you to derail, you've already got a model that works. Use that don't do anything else. I don't need you to watch my |
403 | 01:17:21,690 --> 01:17:32,160 | videos, I don't need you to go in here and derail yourself and mess up the progress you've made for yourself. If you found it working right now, don't |
404 | 01:17:32,310 --> 01:17:41,760 | tinker with it. Just stick to that. And I mean that sincerely. But for those that are on the fence, you're wondering how you can buy the ICT mentorship |
405 | 01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:51,990 | videos, Oh, I gotta get hold of these videos. Don't Don't buy him. I'm going to put them right on the YouTube channel. And this is going to be for my private |
406 | 01:17:51,990 --> 01:18:07,110 | group, they're going to see, just like they saw for themselves, these videos alone won't do shit. They won't do shit. That's not mentoring. That's me |
407 | 01:18:07,110 --> 01:18:17,310 | introducing the language. They went through mentorship, daily, weekly, this is what the markets gonna go, this is why it shouldn't do this. And this is why |
408 | 01:18:17,310 --> 01:18:27,450 | it's going to do that video that you're getting in core content is just me introducing concepts, demonstrating the concept modularly that is me telling |
409 | 01:18:27,450 --> 01:18:36,120 | you, this is what you're going to learn how to use, not necessarily going in this is exactly what you do with it. There's small little pieces of the whole |
410 | 01:18:36,330 --> 01:18:42,960 | one little cog in the machine. And that's what people around the world are selling. And they're promising everybody Oh, if you do this, you're gonna learn |
411 | 01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:51,750 | this. And this, there's no you got to be trained yet to be trained by me. You got to spend time with me. And there is no more mentorships I'm not doing |
412 | 01:18:51,750 --> 01:19:00,780 | another mentorship. So these fucking clowns out there trying to say, I'm setting you up for mentorship. I'm fucking loaded. I don't need to do that shit. Things |
413 | 01:19:00,780 --> 01:19:11,310 | are about to get really hard for you. And I'm doing everything I can to have a clear conscience. I've done everything in my power to make this accessible to |
414 | 01:19:11,310 --> 01:19:21,060 | you. I've literally give you a model that works. It's easy to trade periods are the only two channels so stop expecting something easier than that because there |
415 | 01:19:21,060 --> 01:19:30,660 | isn't anything easier than that period. And it would be everything else out there. I don't care who the fuck it is. I don't give a shit who they trained |
416 | 01:19:30,660 --> 01:19:44,280 | with what they do what bank they work for all that to pull all that shit together, find them and let them go up against that. Talking is bullshit. Find |
417 | 01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:58,980 | somebody else out there that has done this and has impacted people all around the world. And just did it for nothing. Because I care. That's why I care and a |
418 | 01:19:58,980 --> 01:20:07,350 | lot of you If you're not getting yourself prepared, you're going to be homeless. You're going to be unable to feed your family yourself in the normal everyday |
419 | 01:20:07,350 --> 01:20:19,440 | job, that's going to be almost impossible. And now it sounds like science fiction. Listen, folks. There's a reason why I came out on baby pips in 2010. |
420 | 01:20:20,940 --> 01:20:40,680 | You're now discovering it. Now. Look around. That's what I was growing encouraged to come out and try to help as many as I could. Think about it. How |
421 | 01:20:40,710 --> 01:20:59,730 | else do I knew these things before they happen? Think you know the answer. So you just don't want to admit it. Until next time, be safe. |
