Day 5 -  We do not play lottery with price charts.  We focus on the low hanging fruit and in the proper context.

We do not force or gamble on a "what if" setup.  It is a low resistance liquidity run or it isn't.  There is no debate or confusion.

We hunt soon.

As you were...
 

Day 6 -

All eyes on US election theater. Expect shenanigans & flags. Nothing else matters today.
 

Listen Folks,

I am not here to make friends.  I don't believe I will convince everyone because many are too lazy.  They will not test what I say and teach here for free.  It is easier to take the opinion of strangers on the internet than to do their own due diligence on the matter.

If I make money trading it is called fake.  If I make money teaching, they call it my only means of income.  They say my concepts are copies of retail garbage... but not one person can make the case for this.  I will pay 100k to anyone who can... period.  Make it 250k now.

If I am only living on Mentorship millions - pray tell, why am I turning off the million dollar money stream in 2022?  You people are ridiculous that spout this kind of nonsense lol.

Screenshot this post.  If I offer Mentorship in 2022, make videos, share it everywhere.  It would be proof I can't feed myself without it... and I can't be trusted.

Fair enough?  

Winter is coming...
 

Day 7 - Today is just one day of the rest of your journey.  Yesterday's results do no limit you or define your destination.

Keep the focus on the process.  Submit to the time required.  It will come.
 

Meanwhile... Bitcoin 39k... remarkable.


 

Elon Musk passed Bezos 188 billion Net Worth.

Remember that TSLA buy in October 2019?  It traveled a lot since then.

Bread and Butter pays the bills, mega trades pay for the lifestyle.
 

Gold is a manipulated market.  I pick my times when trading that metal.  It is an event specific market, in that, it requires some event.  It is not so much a value market.  It is many times, used to trap neophytes in moves that get hyped by advertisers and metal brokers.

I am neutral on it at the moment.
 

Do some research on Grain reports.  Soybeans, as I stated since June of this year, is poised to continue to rally into 2021.  Corn will be next.  Why?

China is buying everything they can.  Soybeans is used in many processed foods and are used as livestock feed.  If Soybeans are low on supply - feed will switch to corn... then that grain will go into low supply.  

Wheat will be a grain that sees higher prices in 2021.  Food will be the fear and concern in 2021.  Russia has made it known they will consider export tariffs on wheat. 

Think food futures... that is the next "Bitcoin" mega trade.

As you were...
 

Go to Tradingview and enter ZCH2021 to see how Corn Futures responded on this call. December 19, 2020. That is a 3k per contract move. "Smart Money" is not limited to "one" market.

 

You don't like to scalp intraday?  Day trading feels too fast for you?  Short Term requires too much day to day analysis?  Swing Trading might be your style.  It is all relative... I have an approach in all disciplines... just match your personality to the method that best suits you.

Never let me, or any educator, force you into an analysis approach that does not fit your style and personality.

When you find what fits you... your emotions and trade psychology will not hinder your progress.

As you were...
 

Day 8 - New beginnings are both exciting and frightening.  On one hand, you want to get started on the right foot and see results quickly; and at the same time, you don't want to make mistakes.  I want to remind you to invite the mistakes early on.  These are your opportunities to learn.

The pain and discomfort you are trying to avoid is the smoothing out of rough edges in your skillset.  Do not try to avoid this... it is crucial to submit to it.  There is no ego involved.  There is no reason for you to fear doing something wrong.  This is the natural result of feeling rushed to trade with live funds, when you are not ready.

Anyone that says you will learn how to trade consistently, profitably and free from the chains of fear and greed in any time less than 2 years, is lying to you and doing you a disservice... avoid them.  Honestly.

If you disagree, come see me in less than 2 years with your millions.  
 

18 days to go before the final ICT group begins their journey into the depths of my experience, concepts and cerebral cotton candy.  I am excited for you... use this time to obtain a few notebooks.  Get a good spreadsheet application like Excel.  You will want to log lessons and details from them, so you can find them for your reference, as you go through the Mentorship core content.

I will outline how to do this when you begin, don't worry about it right now.  Submit to the processes I give you and stick to them, and you will get here.  Those of you that went through Core content, you will do well to follow my lead this time around.  You missed a lot, in your haste.  
 

Tomorrow closes the door for enrollment interest.  I realize some are not going to meet this deadline for various reasons.  To those who are in this circumstance, I understand and apologize.   Please understand, like you and your life requirements, I have mine too.  This Mentorship requires nearly all my conscious time and is very taxing.  If you knew how much goes into managing it, you'd understand.

It is not personal, it is not cruelty or selfishness... I am in need of returning to my preMentorship life and pace.  My hope is this does not turn you off to learning what you can here.  I will do my best to share lectures on this channel when my time permits it in 2021, but I can not commit to anything with so much expected of me already.

When my commitments are serviced, I will return to a more frequent Youtube pace.  If you respect me, you will grant me that.  I believe I earned that much.

Besides, you have yet to master what is here for free... get busy.
 

Day 9 - The first full trading week of 2021 is in the books.  It is important to note, every year, the initial weeks of January are slow.  I do not mean that opportunities can not be found, but rather, big institutionally sponsored swings are not typically expected.

With the exception of Bitcoin, where all the attention and excitement has been... the markets appear to be delivering on their typical seasonal tendencies.  

Retail traders are frothing at the mouth to get in new trades.  Smart Money uses this month annually to study what sentiment and any macro influences are in play.  If that is the norm, do likewise and wait.

Wait for what?  New market structure insights after an initial displacement in price.  It is important to hold end of year biases loosely, into the month of January.  This permits flexibility in new year analysis.

Why is this important?  Patience & sound logic.

I lost a lot of real money, in my early days, forcing a view into a new year.  I was too busy looking for evidence I was right, instead of, reading what the market was actually telling me.  Often, in those early years of my development; it was telling me that I was wrong, but I was hell bent on being "right"... so much so, I couldn't see it.

Be willing to be wrong... it is less painful and allows your analysis to be more fluid and by default... makes you better for having done so.

As you were...
 

Day 10 - While taking on the challenge of learning the fine art of effective analysis in Price Action, there are a few things to keep in mind.

There will be a lot of theory in the development stage of your learning.  It will seem like an ever increasing amount of moving parts.  This is much like watches.

If you want to wear a watch for the purpose of telling time, just about any watch will do.  If you want Swiss Craftsmanship - this suggests that you care more about precision and quality... in telling time.

To appreciate the precision of a fine Swiss Timepiece - you study the intricate placement of every small component.  The artistry and masterful design of every facet inside the watch.

Do you need a Patek Philippe to know what time it is?  No.  When you find the appreciation for telling time with class & precision... you choose Swiss Craftsmanship and it comes with a price.

The price in knowing precision in Price Action is lots of theory and appreciation for the details.  These are found in "boring, dry lectures".  It only feels boring because you want the action points... the triggers... the signals.

However, you need to understand how to anticipate the effects of many circumstances in the markets, before you can reasonably expect to have consistency in your skillset.

This requires dedication & submission.  Time is the currency required.  If you bring a Casio level time investment to the table but want Rolex results - you will be disappointed.

Precison is not required to profit.  Sloppy analysis, poor executions on entries and exits; can still result in profits.  How you endure these transactions of "time", is the difference between Casio level and Patek level precision.

Do you feel anxiety or impatience in your setups or is it just another transaction you participate in?  One that you studied intimately and understand the details or "craftmanship" in its logic and delivery?

Or are you just looking for a "time" to push enter and hope it pans out for you?

There is a difference and it is not founded on randomness or luck.

Choose precision and experience artistry in analysis.  You won't regret the effort and time invested, to acquire it.  Then onlookers will appreciate the craftmanship of your skill, like that Patek receives and Casio won't be given a second glance.

As you were...
 

Day 11 - It still works... and handsomely, I might add.  Do not fear the uncertainty of the present.  Wealthy people have wealthy tools that they will protect to keep them wealthy. 

Markets may see sudden adverse moves but these are opportunitites... not dismantling of the tool.

Keep emotions out of it.  Keep risk low.

As you were...
 

Day 12 - When a student endeavors to learn how to read Price, it begins with a Macro Perspective.  This is not merely a Higher Time Frame Analysis but rather Seasonal.

How a market tends to deliver during a specific time of year, is beneficial to the fledgling student.  While Seasonal influences are a powerful tool in analysis, they are not a panacea.

Although, Seasonals are not a "be all end all" silver bullet for Price Analysis - they do provide a general roadmap in many ways.  However, in periods when a market tends to seasonally perform one direction but shows a divergence from the seasonal... this can hint at a stronger counter seasonal price event.

A departure from the norm, in Price Action, tends to incite excitment in Price and opportunities.  Far more importance should be placed on this area of your study, than that of entry patterns.

It matters far less "when" you enter, if you have the underlying basis for a directional price run incorrect.  This feels counterintuitive to the new student.  They want to be a sniper and pop shots like an elitist technician.  However, they don't consider the effects of seasonals on their "money shot".

The secret to precision placement on your entries and low drawdown is rooted in being on side;  being dialed in on your market.  You get there by knowing the Macro phase first.  Then reducing all your tools and navigation in lower timeframes with that premise.

If the perspective is unchallenged or in essence "onesided"', you have optimal conditions... squeeze the trigger.  When you don't, wait for a cleaner shot.

As you were...
 

Day 13 - 7500 thumbs up pays for the next video.  

No matter how long it takes.

Enjoy the silence.
 

Day 14 - Two Weeks into the new year, how are you doing with organization?  Are you finding it difficult to stay focused on the task of journaling?

If this is you, keep doing it.  New habits take time to develop and then results will be measurable.  Comparing your progress to when you were not trying... is a bit premature.

It is much like doing squats your first few times.  It is painful and walking stairs becomes next to impossible.  It is easy to think, why am I putting myself through this?  Is this pain worth it?  Yes, yes it is.  Suck it up.

The things you are doing are going to elevate your ability to decypher Price.  You have to adhere to processes early on, that will feel like dry and boring routines.

These practices of logging observations in charts and marking up hindsight fractals, annotations of your remarks that are based on your level of understanding... all of it is crucial.

Without this process, you will not have a measuring stick or baseline to evaluate your development.  You want to have data, visual aids, actual evidence that your skill is indeed improving.

Like squats, it only hurts initially, but months from now... you will see the results; that only feel like agony and pain inside early on.  Keep pushing through.

Over time, you will come to enjoy journaling Price and observations.  This is the stage right before you start to see things before they unfold in Price.  Then you will be an addict.

You will not doubt yourself at that stage, you will laugh at naysayers that doubt you or your pursuit.  It will become clear that those who try to detract and distract you from your goals... are a waste of attention.  

This will further increase your drive and focus... in solitude.  Early on, your weakness and uncertainty will crave companionship.  You will seek to be part of a tribe or pack and have a hive mentality.  Avoid this... learn to walk alone.

None of these chat rooms will actually aid you.  It is like holding hands with an abuser.  It is holding the problem and hoping it changes for the better and that you might benefit... but it never comes.

Study alone, this develops confidence in yourself.  You can do this, if you listen to me.  You are all that is required.  No one will push the trade execution for you, no one will enter your stop loss, no one will close your trades for you.

So why are you inviting the illusion that people who know nothing about you or how to trade... will have a positive impact on your development?  This is codependency and it is poison in trading.  Stand alone.  Collect the glory solo and share it with no one.

It is you that busts your ass to learn this.  It is you that grinds through, despite it being hard and long before results can be seen.  You are the one who gets down to work with studying and doing what is necessary to succeed.

Everyone else will be making excuses why they failed.  Everyone else will be huddled up in chat rooms with an open outstretched hand, begging in silence for a crumb.  They will starve, while you feast on opportunity.  

Do not feel compassion for them, they know what they are doing is not the way.  They want an easy walk, a free ride to profitable living and it never comes that way.  It is earned with pain and sacrifice - by doing without all the distractions.

Only the strong survive here.  Only the strong get it.  The weak will talk nonsense, when it is too hard for them to stay on task and learn it.  You are not weak, you are not entertaining fools.  You have a vision of your life and you found your path to reach it.  

Stay focused on you.  Everyone must fend for themselves.  You eat by your own hands... you gather experience independently and this is a resource that is intimate and can not be shared or deposited into another.  You, like everyone else, must bust their ass for it.  Now get back to work.

As you were...
 

Making Money Moves With ICT...

Click the image to maximize.

 

Day 15 - Change is coming... ready or not.  Make yourself ready.  Give yourself every advantage possible and purge every waste of time and money.

Enjoy this weekend.  Enjoy family.  Rest.

Next week may be eventful for all of us.
 

What is a realistic goal for new Traders, that have discovered their unique model?

2 to 3% a month, at first.

When this becomes consistent, you aim for 4 to 6%.  

Gradually increasing over time... not rushing to make double digit percentage per month.

Submit to time and experience will empower you to do well.  You think this is slow and holds you back.  It doesn't.  It prepares you for the exponential effects of compounding.  

Compound interest is amazing and while it can be a fast elevation in equity, so can the downside be... on the opposite extreme.

The time you think you wasted by going slow, will be made up for quickly; if you do it correctly.  Rushing will only guarantee you get further behind and less net profitable.

Just ask every Trader that rushed to live funds.  It is the same story... same outcome.  Those that are consistently profitable are the ones who went at a gradual pace.

Do you think they care who thinks they did it wrong?  The opinions of many, who aren't profitable, are useless.  Follow the advice of those who do, can and will in the future.

Instagram is not wealth instruction.  It is fraud and deception and luring the unlearned into traps that neither their pockets can afford or their psyche.

As you were...
 

I don't buy video likes.

I can afford to wait for real ones.

If you get insights from a YouTuber, you should give them a thumbs up.  It is free, it took them time and energy to produce it.  It takes you nothing to click it.

Too many entitlement minded people are selfish and ignorant to merely consume and give no thanks.  I demand it now.  It is not a bribe as losers would state.

I don't care if I ever produce another YouTube video - but I will when my recent video shows 7500 thumbs up.  This grows the channel and you give appreciation for my time.

I wasted thousands of hours of my life on undeserving viewers.  Interactive participation controls my pace of how fast we get to the next video upload on here.

I don't do things traditionally.  Why?  I am already here.  I take chances with my image and do things that others would never do, because they aren't in a position to do so.  Everyone else has to post daily to eat... they depend on ad revenue.  I don't.

Who walks away from easy millions?  Who says they won't do until the audience shows support for the time in effort?  Who calls the major moves and publicly... for free?  Just me baby... just ICT.  

Give and take.  There is an exchange expected.  Don't be sour, participate... and be patient.

My time is worth something.  Don't complain if you are asked to do the least in exchange for it.  
 

Day 16 - One year ago, I told you to prepare.  I also told you to prepare four & a half years ago... for this coming week.

Some laughed, called me chicken little, mocked me... but take a hard look around.  Still laughing?

You are going to need to think differently, earn differently, prepare your home for disruptions.  Food, meds, day to day staples and water.  Top your car fuel tanks today.  

Visit an ATM machine and get some cash on hand, in the event service issues arise and paying by card is not an option.

Peace of mind comes from preparedness and no fear is being pushed by me.  If nothing happens, you were at ease and prepared.  If something does, and it sure looks dressed up, you will have preps to make it less stressful.

So many things converging this week, it would be foolish to disregard the level of absurdity we see in America right now.  Be prepared as best you can and occupy your mind with positive engagement.

Many took my advice last year and this entire thing was less impactful for them and their families.  You have a few days still... make good use of them.

No fear.

As you were...
 

Day 17 - You might not believe in time travel, but when you submit to the process, it will appear it exists.  At least to those onlookers, that watch you operate.  What do I mean?

Sound Price Analysis will present a perspective that evades 90% of Traders.  When you understand what you are doing, you will have forecasting skills that will impress those that do not know your craft.

If you show me the charts, I will tell you the news headlines... before they print.  "Unexpected", they say... that is cute.

As you were...

 

Day 18 - As the world waits on pins and needles for Wednesday, today is a Bank Holiday in the US.  Respect the risk, this week presents.

This includes ICT.

I get asked a lot about sleep... and sleep schedules.  I usually do two four hour sets of sleep and if I find time, a cat nap between.

Whatever works for you, that is all I can say.  My schedule is dictated by the work load while running this Mentorship at full pace.

After this year, it will allow me a more routine sleep and life cycle.

Everyone has hurdles with jobs, family and hobbies.  There is no secret recipe for everyone... you just plan it best you can and work with that.  Pick your trade session and frame it all on that.

Just looked at EurUsd... I might have been off on my view.  It only went down to 1.2053 and failed to print 1.2050.  Well over a penny move, nonetheless.

See, I can get it wrong... sometimes.  Taking partials removes that stumbling block for you along the way... and pays you when you are "wrong".  

How is that for sound logic?

I am trying to provide date and timestamps for these posts and I just realized I put the 21st of January on the post under this one... I corrected that date and sandwiched in between this one for timeline purposes.

Youtube should add time and date stamps on these...

Day 21 - Be patient and learn to wait for your model, your setup to form.  There will be many price moves that unfold that you will not participate in.

Obsession over being in every movement is a characteristic of a neophyte and you will grow out of this stage, over time.

Keep your focus on your unique model, setup and framework.  Time and adherence to that will deliver you where you want to be in analysis.

As you were...

GbpUsd continues to punish the sellers.  Deeper run delivered as I thought.  Tricky pair, only the nimble.

Bitcoin looks like it wants to wash out 27k... buckle up.  Might be painful.

Dollar is not where I need it to be, so I wait... longer.

We will hunt soon... stay hungry.

When you sit down to analyze a market, start with the Macro Market conditions.

It is not wise to begin your search for entries - before you first determine if the market is primed to move, in the first place.

Many fail on this stage of development and in live trading.  They will pretend to know it all in comment sections & chat rooms but they secretly fail in trading.

These are the same that are the most impatient for my next video to drop.  They love to hate me... and never learn how to trade because of it.

What a terrible waste of time.  I can't fix everyone.

Everything is scripted.  It appears you have control, that you have free will... a free choice.  Many are unsettled once they discover how much is scripted.  You can become angry, outraged at the deception - or use it.  Yes... use it.

What many will get tripped up and snared in, you will find as opportunity.  Does the Wolf apologize to prey beneath it?  It is simply being the Wolf... it is neither evil, nor tragic.

You need to eat.  So eat with a clear conscience.

Day 23 - I was never a "Q" believer.  My students know this is a fact, I was very critical of it.  My post yesterday, was a reference to Day 2 of a new administration that will not be favorable to many things economic.  As such, things will deteriorate and many will deny it... until it speeds up.

I didn't vote in 2016 or 2020.  I am objective.  I had no team or horse in the race.  I am not drunk on new power, nor am I heartbroken over biden.  I am indifferent - but objective.  My view is not tainted with mascots and stimulus hopes.  I don't pretend to be a prophet, a fortune teller or clairvoyant... just a prepared individual with means.

Stop trying to make me out to be something I am not... I am killing this myth here and now.  Change was instituted on the 20th.  Some of you are in your glory, some of you are confused and upset.  Many expected mass arrests... and they did occur.  The arrests of those who destroyed the Capital building.

I give you my thoughts and expectations, I state plainly it is not to incite fear but to inspire you to consider preps... just in case things get tougher to get.  I never said people should expect Qanon stuff... so stop spreading these lies.

Here is what I expect:

Unless the covid narrative evaporates by the claims massive vaccinations were distributed, which none of us will know is true or not... things will get harder economically.  Period.

Am I taking any vaccine... no.  My youngest son was harmed by a vaccine... save your opinions, we lived it.

Do I believe we had a fair process... no.  Can I do anything about it... no.  Am I going to pout for 4 years, nope.  If things get better, I can trade in that.  If things get worse... I can trade in that... in fact there would be monster moves in commodities.  I expect this... and if I am wrong, I lose nothing.

There are some who twist my posts because they do not have the backstory or details I laid down for my students directly... over previous months of commentaries.  None of you, who think I am a Qanon supporter get it... I stated this was a psyop the entire time.  

The uncle I was exposed to trading with was a hardcore Q fan and is distraught over all this now... and I tried to prepare him for the inevitable - but I could not reach him.  It became too deep in their minds as it had to be real... when it was used to make those who would do something - sit still and allow it to pan out... uninterrupted.  Take a step back and you will see it clearly now.

Do I believe harris will take the seat, yes.  Do I have high expectations for economic improvement - no.  Do I believe both sides are tainted... yes.  They are two wings of the same bird... and they keep us divided.  I hold Republican views by majority and always felt this way.  I felt some of Bill Clinton's work... some... was good for the economy.  I believe Reagan was our last real President... the rest have been selected.  I don't care to know your opinion... so save it.  I won't entertain it in emails.

When I tell you I am preparing for disruptions in supply, I am communicating in no uncertain terms that maybe you might consider it.  Am I trying to scare you... no, obviously not.  I believe food will be weaponized eventually and fear will cause the weak to hoard and loot and your ability to obtain these things will have passed.

Some of you try to send me emails and say... "you were wrong, nothing happened".  I am not preparing for a single day... I am prepared for a year.  If something does happen, my family is prepped and I don't have added stress and we don't need to venture out if things deteriorate.  If nothing happens, I have things I use anyways and I won't need to buy it for months.  Who is laughing here... really?

It is better to have and not need, than to need and pray to obtain it... but can't.  Think.  Don't be so foolish to fall for this dog and pony show and feel like there is no reason to be concerned... there is and for some... it will be a painful realization, too late.

Make your house ready, as best you can.  Not through fear... but for peace of mind.  

Now you got it straight from me.  There is no room for conjectures or secret messages... no way to make me a Qanon or trumper or biden hugger.  They are all the same actors in the same theater - you just think you have a choice every 4 years... and you don't.  Like it or not... that is the life we live now.

Feel free to unsubscribe if my honesty and straightforwardness offends you.  I speak like this because I expect my audience to be adults that are reasonably capable of sorting out BS.

Make ready your house... period.

As you were...

Some of you might be thinking, "ICT is trying to scare me... I will not be bothered.  It won't happen, I won't waste my money preparing in case any of it happens... I will just trade and be happy."

Imagine for a moment... as best you can imagine... the grocery is empty and your pantry is too... 

There will trades and setups, yes.  However, will you have the clarity to engage it, ride it out and execute with clarity and an empty stomach?  If your family is stressed because you have lack... will you honestly be in a position to trade without emotion?

I have a million dollars that says you will be on the other side of my trades then... because you will be starving and in panic.  The worse position to trade from... needing to make money and scared money doesn't make money... it is taken.  It will be taken by people like me.  You can hate me for it, or thank me for nudging you now... to avoid it.

Or do nothing.  That is always an option.

Choose wisely.

Winter has come.

As a final thought... and to avoid needing to add it to Mentorship commentary...

What do I gain for warning you?

These posts are not monetized.

My Mentorship is closed to new enrollment inquiries.

Where is the pitch?  Where is the pay off for me?

A clean conscience - nothing more.

I spoke my stance and I need not do it again.  If you see others talking nonsense, share the screenshots from here.  I don't have the time to debate ignorance.

This life will not give you many chances to get it right.  If you have time and means to give yourself more advantages... do it.  To not do so... in my mind, is foolish.

I can admit I would not be able to trade objectively in hunger and in lack with children and a stressed Wife.  So don't pretend you will be able to when you haven't found profitability yet.

Swallow... that is good medicine... like it or not.

Rant is over.

Wednesday... the rest of you start that same journey.  It will be long, it will be hard... but it will be so damn worth it!

I am so excited!

Day 25 - Measure progress on an intermediate scale and not day by day.  It can be discouraging to look at the scale when on a diet and each day the change being so little or not at all.

You are learning how to navigate the most treacherous financial waters, during the roughest storms we ever seen, economically.

Did you expect smooth sailing the entire journey?  There will be rogue waves, strong head winds that will make it feel like it will never let you get here.  

Endure.  The temporary adversities are just that... temporary.  

There will be periods of smooth sailing and the journey will feel effortless.  Then, there will be times that will feel like you are about to sink into Davy Jones Locker... and join the ranks of many would be mariner.

Keep your eyes on the horizon, it is where you are aiming for.  The time to get here is unknown to you, this gives you uncertainty and perhaps fear.  Acknowledge it but do not feed it with worry.  Do the things you are trained to do, avoid those things that you ought not do... and you will arrive.

Remember, the navy sends their ships out to sea in major storms... for safety.  The shore is were the damage is taken... at sea it is just a rough ride.  Don't try to stay docked at shore... be comfortable in the storms.  Be content with the direction and bearings you are following.

Do not lose sight of your destination.  The journey wasn't promised to you in a day.  Don't measure the distance each day, at the start of your journey and lose hope.  Many turn back and head to the shore.

You know what waits for you back at the shore... the same wants and dreams.  They won't sail in to you... you only get to that port of call by enduring the journey at sea... come what may.

Keep your hand on the wheel and yourself at the helm... eyes to horizon.  Keep pressing forward.

As you were...

Have you ever noticed how these same candles - regardless of duration or timeframe - can feel like eternity?

A 5 minute candle can feel like an hour and an hour candle can feel like a day?  Ever felt that?

It is rooted in your infancy as an Analyst, who rushed to being a Trader.

You have yet to submit to time, and that is achieved with months of training - not a weekend.

Time is going to pass in the same speed for you, regardless, if it is in pain or pleasure.  Be indifferent to it, submit to it... but in doing so... you follow what I teach.

Over time, you learn to wait for the delivery.  This is a hard thing to explain to a new student.  The words might seem simple enough, but the process isn't.

Once you have submitted to it... progress is seen in the process.  Submission to time is not weakness... it is where experience is derived.  Experience guides you and you lean on this in periods of drawdown and confusion.

That candle is no longer in duration than the previous candle.  You are merely trying to rush it to expansion to your target... is this submission to time?  Or is it imposing your will on the candle?

The market will have no respect for our will.  We must align with it and its algorithm.  

This is the way.

I took nothing from Chris Lori.  Stop the nonsense.

Paid members of his courses will confirm I am on another level.  No disrespect intended... Chris never bashed me.

You read others that sockpuppet themselves and claim to teach my very own concepts better... but they do not.

What feels like "straight to the point" is just rushing to further ignorance.  I challenge any of the guys who pretend to know my works to put up in February.  All calls public and recorded in public domain... yes public before the fact.

Not one of these guys will bite... because they reside in the hindsight where they can "find" things to talk about.  Not act on in precision trading... not precision talk.

Any takers?
