1 00:00:12 --> 00:00:18 ICT: Hi, folks, how are you having a bit of insomnia? Myself, as some of you
2 00:00:18 --> 00:00:26 know, I have a very bad act. Motorcycle eaten three in 2009 and I've been
3 00:00:27 --> 00:00:35 battling it for the last week. So looking at the POUND DOLLAR here, it's a
4 00:00:35 --> 00:00:39 five minute chart I just popped on just to see what
5 00:00:40 --> 00:00:46 was available, and looks like we had a Juda swing here, taking out in the buy
6 00:00:46 --> 00:00:57 side here. So let's take annotate it. Everything above what just happened?
7 00:01:00 --> 00:01:05 Yeah, so the this low here, going into this buy side of balance, cell sign in
8 00:01:05 --> 00:01:12 efficiency, we have cell side stacked here, here, below that low and here. So
9 00:01:12 --> 00:01:15 what I'm watching is is this last up close candle on the five minute
10 00:01:22 --> 00:01:28 chart. Draw that down here, and then we'll drop down into a limited chart.
11 00:01:29 --> 00:01:34 Make this nice and easy. So what I want to see it do is I want to see it trade
12 00:01:34 --> 00:01:36 below that. Now notice all these candles here.
13 00:01:39 --> 00:01:42 It's that five minute short block.
14 00:01:44 --> 00:01:48 You see how using just the one minute chart, it could be confusing. You might
15 00:01:48 --> 00:01:54 think that this is the bear short block. The trade up to go short from I'm not
16 00:01:54 --> 00:02:01 looking or requiring to that it can but I'm not requiring that if it were to
17 00:02:01 --> 00:02:07 just roll over and never trade up to this candle sticks open. If it broke
18 00:02:07 --> 00:02:10 below there and came back up and touched it, that would be enough for me to
19 00:02:11 --> 00:02:15 anticipate a run below these relative equal loads and into this by side
20 00:02:15 --> 00:02:20 available cell side efficiency, which is a discount array at the present. Now, I
21 00:02:20 --> 00:02:27 like the idea of it trading down here, then coming up to engage all this buy
22 00:02:27 --> 00:02:28 side resting about here.
23 00:02:32 --> 00:02:38 So just for completeness sake, let me annotate the
24 00:02:41 --> 00:02:45 some of you guys are probably missing the ASMR of the loud clicking surface
25 00:02:48 --> 00:02:58 being pressed on the built in service prototype your laptop. It's real quiet,
26 00:02:58 --> 00:03:00 except for the fan running on it right
27 00:03:04 --> 00:03:09 now, so we'll see what we see here. Again, like I said, I'm not interested
28 00:03:09 --> 00:03:13 in requiring price to trade up there. If it does, I'll I'll enter there on the
29 00:03:13 --> 00:03:18 short let me look looking at more or less a run here, and then come back and
30 00:03:18 --> 00:03:25 touch this line, which is again, that five minute bearish water block opening
31 00:03:25 --> 00:03:26 price.
32 00:03:38 --> 00:03:44 So part of the spot, side of balance, outside of efficiency. If you'd look at
33 00:03:44 --> 00:03:50 it like this, I just picked up on my Yeah, there we
34 00:03:57 --> 00:04:00 go. That's what we're looking for. I'm uh,
35 00:04:03 --> 00:04:06 folks that are watching and thinking, why would you want to go short there?
36 00:04:06 --> 00:04:10 Why wouldn't you want to see it long to go and get those relative equal highs?
37 00:04:11 --> 00:04:19 Well, it's the day of the week. It's Friday. It is also this run up they they
38 00:04:19 --> 00:04:23 can leave this here for later today or to next week. It's fine,
39 00:04:24 --> 00:04:32 but I think that this taking out these lows here, that's a shift time market
40 00:04:32 --> 00:04:35 structure, all right, so now we have this set up primed.
41 00:04:40 --> 00:04:45 I could do it as a limit order, but just to prove to that market replay, because
42 00:04:45 --> 00:04:46 I know some of these,
43 00:04:47 --> 00:04:52 these noobs that watch my stuff, they think that I'm doing Market Replay,
44 00:04:52 --> 00:04:56 Market Replay will not let you show this up here. Okay, test it for yourself. Do.
45 00:05:00 --> 00:05:04 This is the part that makes it very difficult for new students or new
46 00:05:04 --> 00:05:10 traders. They don't wait for their setup. They they simply try to
47 00:05:10 --> 00:05:13 anticipate the setup because they're afraid they're going to miss the move.
48 00:05:13 --> 00:05:16 I'm not afraid of missing the move because there's lots of moves intraday,
49 00:05:16 --> 00:05:22 so we're trading down into the low of this buy side of balance, outside
50 00:05:22 --> 00:05:26 efficiency that I'm anticipating behaving as a inversion of everybody
51 00:05:26 --> 00:05:35 gap. Obviously, we not trade up into this candlesticks opening price, which
52 00:05:35 --> 00:05:45 most individuals on Instagram, tick tock and YouTube, Facebook, X, Discord, you
53 00:05:45 --> 00:05:50 name it. Uh, Telegram, they'll, they'll say, this is the bear short clock. It's
54 00:05:50 --> 00:05:56 not okay. And unfortunately, you know, just because they use my vocabulary
55 00:05:56 --> 00:06:00 doesn't always equate to understanding what it is that they're trying to cruise
56 00:06:00 --> 00:06:00 upon you
57 00:06:00 --> 00:06:06 as proud. It's not it's not there. That's why they live in hindsight. So
58 00:06:06 --> 00:06:07 the
59 00:06:08 --> 00:06:12 the return up into this candles that's open, that would be permissible too. So
60 00:06:12 --> 00:06:16 it doesn't necessarily need to trade here. So what's in close proximity to
61 00:06:16 --> 00:06:20 that line? Again, this line is the five minute last of closed candles opening
62 00:06:20 --> 00:06:25 price inside of this price run that's seen on the one minute
63 00:06:32 --> 00:06:35 chart. Notice this line here. I know it's very hard to see. Let me, let me
64 00:06:35 --> 00:06:36 darken it up a little bit.
65 00:06:42 --> 00:06:56 I'm it's not much of a darkening, is it? Let me see we go. We want to
66 00:06:56 --> 00:07:02 see price stay in this portion of this positive outside efficiency, there's no
67 00:07:02 --> 00:07:05 necessity for price to get up into this area here, which is the reason why I
68 00:07:05 --> 00:07:08 wasn't interested in that is a bearish order block on the limited
69 00:07:12 --> 00:07:14 chart, this little gap in here that's
70 00:07:14 --> 00:07:18 enough to send it lower, and it could just leave without touching the order
71 00:07:18 --> 00:07:21 block. So
72 00:07:26 --> 00:07:31 what I'll do is I'll wait for it to touch the blow of that. That's what else
73 00:07:31 --> 00:07:36 outside of efficiency. I'll put one on in as a
74 00:07:37 --> 00:07:41 insurance policy, in the event it just runs away without me going to the order
75 00:07:41 --> 00:07:50 block, at least, I have something on the not yet. You got to be patient,
76 00:07:52 --> 00:07:57 watching the candlestick. There you go. That's what I want. So now,
77 00:08:00 --> 00:08:05 small position like this, we can put a stop just above consequence of this
78 00:08:05 --> 00:08:10 bison of all cell sign, efficiency. It's really, really modest risk there. So now
79 00:08:10 --> 00:08:14 I can wait to see if, if you'll permit me, I'm going to take the
80 00:08:20 --> 00:08:28 I'm Yeah,
81 00:08:29 --> 00:08:33 stations off on the executions. I'll keep I'll, I'll place them back on a
82 00:08:33 --> 00:08:35 second. I just want to watch inside this price action,
83 00:08:39 --> 00:08:42 explaining it before
84 00:08:42 --> 00:08:49 you do it is a handicap. So it's not as easy as it makes people think. When I'm
85 00:08:49 --> 00:08:53 doing it, it takes a great deal of focus, and you have to understand what
86 00:08:53 --> 00:08:57 you're looking for. You have to have a really solid understanding about what
87 00:08:57 --> 00:09:01 you're looking for. Otherwise, it's very hard to stay focused, and that's why
88 00:09:01 --> 00:09:07 it's very difficult to teach live. It's very difficult to especially using lower
89 00:09:07 --> 00:09:09 time frame charts like this.
90 00:09:11 --> 00:09:12 It's hard to articulate
91 00:09:13 --> 00:09:19 every facet that is going into the idea that leads to a trade setup and and or
92 00:09:19 --> 00:09:23 execution and framing risk and whatnot. So
93 00:09:28 --> 00:09:34 we were looking for a trades out like that. That's a pretty good return. It's
94 00:09:34 --> 00:09:36 about three to one. Let me see if I can
95 00:09:38 --> 00:09:49 finesse this a little bit. I that's a little bit better. So now, because this
96 00:09:49 --> 00:09:55 is a inversion fair value gap, if we can come back up and touch that one more
97 00:09:55 --> 00:10:02 time, or inside this wick, okay. If you can trade up inside that, I'll add
98 00:10:04 --> 00:10:12 one more portion of 750,000 leveraged on the short.
99 00:10:15 --> 00:10:19 Again, it's not Market Replay. Market Replay won't show this up here. I'm
100 00:10:41 --> 00:10:42 a bit more.
101 00:10:48 --> 00:10:54 See this is Hey, Joe, all right, and the staff will stay there. Still very, very
102 00:10:54 --> 00:10:55 modest risk. I
103 00:11:04 --> 00:11:10 I need to simply just let it cook.
104 00:11:11 --> 00:11:14 Now, I'd like to see it break below. See this wick here,
105 00:11:15 --> 00:11:20 and all of this little consolidation area this wick, it's consequent
106 00:11:20 --> 00:11:22 encouragement this level here,
107 00:11:26 --> 00:11:31 right there. I want to see price gravitate aggressively to this and
108 00:11:31 --> 00:11:35 through this. If they can manage to do that and close below it, then that is a
109 00:11:35 --> 00:11:42 very good encouragement. It allows me to feel confident that these relative equal
110 00:11:42 --> 00:11:45 loads will be taken. How far can it go below those relative equal loads? Well,
111 00:11:45 --> 00:11:51 we've referred back to that five minute chart, and that's that bicep balance
112 00:11:51 --> 00:11:56 outside efficiency down here. So I'm going to go back out to a five minute
113 00:11:56 --> 00:11:58 chart so you can see where we're at and we get to lay the
114 00:12:00 --> 00:12:07 land this one over here, this fair value gap. It's a bicycle balance cell sign in
115 00:12:07 --> 00:12:11 efficiency, and it's below this low,
116 00:12:12 --> 00:12:17 this low, this low. Yes, we've already stabbed down through it, but look at the
117 00:12:17 --> 00:12:23 body. See what it did here, basically lined up with this low and this low. So
118 00:12:23 --> 00:12:30 whenever I see something like that, and I can, I guess, build a narrative that
119 00:12:30 --> 00:12:36 it's likely to go lower still, then I look at this as a shallow run into
120 00:12:36 --> 00:12:42 liquidity. So therefore, I would expect a deeper run lower, and where would that
121 00:12:42 --> 00:12:46 go below this low and into this inefficiency? That's a discount array.
122 00:12:47 --> 00:12:54 Okay, so back to a one minute chart. Now, if it can touch this five minute,
123 00:12:55 --> 00:13:00 I'll add one more and leave the stop as it is, banking on the idea that we've
124 00:13:00 --> 00:13:05 already did the working over half of this inversion fair value gap, that
125 00:13:05 --> 00:13:10 dashed line here, that's that's a line in the sand that you shall not cross.
126 00:13:10 --> 00:13:14 Why? How do I know that? Because we spent a lot of time here, and then we
127 00:13:14 --> 00:13:20 dropped lower and outside of it. So all I'm looking for is a return, back into
128 00:13:20 --> 00:13:24 this, which was the original premise. If it would have given me earlier, I'd be
129 00:13:24 --> 00:13:28 short from there. But now, since it's still offering it to me, I'm not looking
130 00:13:28 --> 00:13:33 at this as a long let's put it that way. I'm looking for this as a return to a
131 00:13:33 --> 00:13:37 short term premium, and then it should aggressively drive out of that, and then
132 00:13:37 --> 00:13:41 gravitate to and through this consequent approach in that wick, because it's the
133 00:13:41 --> 00:13:48 extreme low that would set the stage for continuation below here. I don't need
134 00:13:48 --> 00:13:53 the trade below the low of the wick. I needed to trade through and close below
135 00:13:53 --> 00:14:00 the consequent crochet of that wick, if it drops here, without even going back
136 00:14:00 --> 00:14:04 to the five minute bearish order block opening price, which, again, let me show
137 00:14:04 --> 00:14:05 you.
138 00:14:07 --> 00:14:11 It's this candlestick right there. Okay, that opening price, that's what you're
139 00:14:11 --> 00:14:22 watching me observe and execute on. So one more tap into this. I'll add because
140 00:14:22 --> 00:14:24 I feel confident that we're about to break aggressively lower.
141 00:14:32 --> 00:14:35 Nothing wrong with taking a little bit of heat on your trades, as long as
142 00:14:35 --> 00:14:40 everything that you're seeing still is in the in the correct context of what
143 00:14:40 --> 00:14:46 took place before you took to trade and executed on it, meaning that as long as
144 00:14:46 --> 00:14:52 it doesn't go above here, everything that sees price go up into that price
145 00:14:52 --> 00:15:02 level is completely permissible, like that. So. Okay, so now it should really
146 00:15:02 --> 00:15:06 strongly reject that, because we didn't get to that five minute bearish order
147 00:15:06 --> 00:15:14 blocks opening price that's at this line is okay, and we went back up into this
148 00:15:14 --> 00:15:19 entire range that shaded in orange is this bison to balance outside efficiency
149 00:15:20 --> 00:15:25 and the lower half of this is where the real work of the algorithm is
150 00:15:30 --> 00:15:37 elusive. Nobody wants to believe exists. Algorithm supposed to be buying and
151 00:15:37 --> 00:15:45 selling pressure. That's what they tell you, right? So I'm viewing it like this.
152 00:15:45 --> 00:15:45 I
153 00:15:48 --> 00:15:52 could be honest with you, I'm I'm anticipating all the noise that usually
154 00:15:52 --> 00:15:58 comes with me pressing my mouse. It's not there. So it's, it's something I'm
155 00:15:58 --> 00:16:02 getting used to. Some of you are very appreciative of it because you hated
156 00:16:02 --> 00:16:08 that sound all the time. You need a new mouse. No, you need to accept the fact
157 00:16:08 --> 00:16:11 that some people were going to make their content the way they want to make
158 00:16:11 --> 00:16:13 it. To be honest, you kind of miss it. Do.
159 00:16:26 --> 00:16:28 Because I'm bearish,
160 00:16:29 --> 00:16:32 and it's a scalp. It's not like I'm trying to call the topping POUND DOLLAR,
161 00:16:32 --> 00:16:36 that it should just fall out of bed, you know, for 1000 you know, pips or
162 00:16:36 --> 00:16:41 whatever. I'm suggesting that it's just going to run down into these lows, into
163 00:16:41 --> 00:16:49 an old inefficiency that's a discount. And then it could set this stage to then
164 00:16:49 --> 00:16:55 go back up into this area here, either today or next week. Now we want to see
165 00:16:55 --> 00:17:00 aggressively drop down here and attack that consequent encouragement that WIC i
166 00:17:20 --> 00:17:30 the obsessive compulsiveness, if you believe it won't allow me to not get
167 00:17:30 --> 00:17:30 $3,000
168 00:17:31 --> 00:17:35 of this lemon. So I'm trying to squeeze a little bit more of
169 00:17:38 --> 00:17:40 that. All right. So now we want
170 00:17:40 --> 00:17:43 to keep this stop where it is until we get through this threshold, because this
171 00:17:43 --> 00:17:50 is the the marker that sets the stage for confidence, not overconfidence, not
172 00:17:51 --> 00:17:54 I'm right, and nothing can go wrong. It just means that if we trade through this
173 00:17:54 --> 00:18:00 consequent encroachment that wick on a closing basis, then I can start to work
174 00:18:00 --> 00:18:06 that's top loss down to this high here, plus a tick. But it has to do this part
175 00:18:06 --> 00:18:09 first. This was the risk I was willing to put on when I first put the trade on
176 00:18:10 --> 00:18:16 here. And I have to sit with that risk until I see a Realized confirmation in
177 00:18:16 --> 00:18:22 order. Flow now, level two, data stuff required, no depth of market, no
178 00:18:22 --> 00:18:28 ladders, none of that stuff, no Market Replay required, because when you know
179 00:18:28 --> 00:18:35 what you're doing, you're sticking to ideas and premises that repeat. And
180 00:18:35 --> 00:18:39 since I mentioned that, this entire buy side of balance, outside efficiency, the
181 00:18:39 --> 00:18:43 lower half of that, that's what the algorithm is going to refer to. Notice
182 00:18:43 --> 00:18:50 that the bodies stop below that midpoint. Let me take this lower shaded
183 00:18:50 --> 00:18:55 red area, that midpoint off, because it's a little confusing to me as well.
184 00:18:56 --> 00:19:01 So we, we traded up into it. But look at the bodies hang, stop, not interested
185 00:19:01 --> 00:19:05 even going up there, not even interested in going to the five minute opening
186 00:19:05 --> 00:19:09 price of that super block, either. And that is not failure. That's actually
187 00:19:09 --> 00:19:13 what you want to see. If you're if you're bearish, you want to see the
188 00:19:13 --> 00:19:17 inability for price to even get to premium arrays. Because if it can't do
189 00:19:17 --> 00:19:21 that, what is it saying? It's saying that the market is inherently weak. It's
190 00:19:21 --> 00:19:25 lacking what strength? So if it's lacking strength, and you can outline a
191 00:19:25 --> 00:19:32 bias that's framing an obvious price run to a discount array, the five minute
192 00:19:32 --> 00:19:37 bison, about Salesforce efficiency down here, below relative equal lows, then it
193 00:19:37 --> 00:19:42 goes without saying that you probably have a likely winner. It doesn't mean
194 00:19:42 --> 00:19:46 it's a perfect, absolute guarantee, it's going to work in your favor and you
195 00:19:46 --> 00:19:49 can't lose. It just means that I'm watching this fair value gap, by the
196 00:19:49 --> 00:19:54 way, this means that you have something that you can get you can engage in. I.
197 00:20:04 --> 00:20:08 Isn't it nice? How much do I know what I'm doing?
198 00:20:12 --> 00:20:15 We're watching that consequent encroachment right there. I want to see
199 00:20:15 --> 00:20:21 how it delivers sharply and through it. That's what we want. All this wick in
200 00:20:21 --> 00:20:26 here. Watch the consequent encroachment that we've already seen, a reaction to
201 00:20:26 --> 00:20:32 it on the high end of it. I'll explain that in a second, moving down into it
202 00:20:32 --> 00:20:36 here and coming back up, opening, going into the fair value gap, and then
203 00:20:37 --> 00:20:41 repricing lower. We want to see it now respect it on the upside as resistance,
204 00:20:41 --> 00:20:44 basically, and then send it sharply lower.
205 00:20:47 --> 00:20:49 This also is an inversion, fair value,
206 00:20:58 --> 00:21:04 gap, confluence of things here. They're rooting well for lower prices,
207 00:21:11 --> 00:21:15 and we're in the last minute of the macro of 350, to 410,
208 00:21:19 --> 00:21:22 same premise here, we've already worked in the upper half
209 00:21:24 --> 00:21:27 of that inversion, fair value gap. So we want to see everything stay in the lower
210 00:21:28 --> 00:21:35 hemisphere, tap the lower that and then send it Lower. That'd be wonderful. So
211 00:21:48 --> 00:21:50 again, no Market Replay required.
212 00:22:04 --> 00:22:06 We haven't done enough work with
213 00:22:07 --> 00:22:13 testing and then forward testing by just reading the tape. No executions. Those
214 00:22:13 --> 00:22:19 little supposed dojis and whatnot are hammers that can trick you. I promise
215 00:22:19 --> 00:22:25 you. Steve Nelson doesn't have any understanding of the algorithm that
216 00:22:25 --> 00:22:30 controls price, so you can be fooled by things like that and think, Oh, this is
217 00:22:30 --> 00:22:32 this is rejection. It's bullish. It's not.
218 00:22:35 --> 00:22:44 Case in point. Let's say be careful, because these facetious statements that
219 00:22:44 --> 00:22:50 I routinely include, that's
220 00:22:50 --> 00:22:55 just me being me, and I'm reminding myself that I used to believe this
221 00:22:55 --> 00:23:01 nonsense when candlesticks supposedly had some kind of sway over price.
222 00:23:04 --> 00:23:06 Okay, so we traded right down
223 00:23:06 --> 00:23:09 into that consequent encouragement, that wick we want to see it. Go through it
224 00:23:09 --> 00:23:17 now, and you'll see that once we trade through it and close below it, the
225 00:23:17 --> 00:23:21 market should stay heavy, meaning that it should still gravitate towards these
226 00:23:21 --> 00:23:29 lows right in here, okay, and
227 00:23:35 --> 00:23:41 this is labeled as a minor south side look pretty cool.
228 00:23:58 --> 00:24:02 Now I know some of you are like, can you just make a template? It's so much
229 00:24:02 --> 00:24:08 easier. Can you just let me do it the way I want to do it? I hear you all
230 00:24:08 --> 00:24:12 right. So we had our close below consequent encroachments. Now we should
231 00:24:12 --> 00:24:15 see heavy price doesn't mean it's gonna be a straight shot. Ideally, that's
232 00:24:16 --> 00:24:20 always the best case scenario, but we don't require that. But because we've
233 00:24:20 --> 00:24:23 done this now I can lower the stop loss and reduce the risk.
234 00:24:27 --> 00:24:30 Now I have some of the risk,
235 00:24:31 --> 00:24:35 and because we're below that. WIC, if you were inclined to, you say you're
236 00:24:35 --> 00:24:39 brand new, and you really need to have that little encouragement, this would be
237 00:24:39 --> 00:24:44 a wonderful time for you to take a partial off, okay? And that would simply
238 00:24:44 --> 00:24:48 be done by changing whatever amount of position you have open. Right now I have
239 00:24:48 --> 00:24:57 2.2 in leverage short. So I wouldn't take 750,000 off personally, but you
240 00:24:57 --> 00:25:02 could take something like 100,000 or. In terms of leverage off, and that would
241 00:25:02 --> 00:25:08 satisfy that impulsiveness to want to just have something in your win column.
242 00:25:10 --> 00:25:14 And I'll just add the execution, since it's not going to be a problem revealing
243 00:25:14 --> 00:25:15 anything now I'm
244 00:25:27 --> 00:25:32 for joining the feedback from the members of the free telegram channel
245 00:25:34 --> 00:25:37 you're all seeing what the paid mentorship students have been seeing for
246 00:25:37 --> 00:25:42 a long, long time. I'm not that guy that you think I am.
247 00:25:48 --> 00:25:50 Apparently I know how to trade, huh,
248 00:25:54 --> 00:25:59 lot of marketing, some of the folks out there that don't understand how I got to
249 00:25:59 --> 00:26:00 where I am in terms of
250 00:26:03 --> 00:26:04 following
251 00:26:05 --> 00:26:13 the cult, like following that companies. Me, it's all a part of marketing. And
252 00:26:13 --> 00:26:17 you have to have a you have to have a character, and that's what I used ICT
253 00:26:17 --> 00:26:22 for, that was you have to be polarizing too, because if it's just everybody
254 00:26:22 --> 00:26:26 loves you, think about like for wrestling fans, like I've never been a
255 00:26:26 --> 00:26:30 fan of John Cena because he's always been one, one sided, one dimensional.
256 00:26:31 --> 00:26:38 And characters that have flipped from face to heel, face to heel, they those
257 00:26:38 --> 00:26:42 characters are more entertaining. They're much more dynamic, and that's
258 00:26:42 --> 00:26:49 what makes them loved or hated. And you have to have a polarizing persona on
259 00:26:49 --> 00:26:58 social media. You have to have some kind of divisive rhetoric or some kind of an
260 00:26:58 --> 00:27:04 angle to get people talking, and then you make yourself viral that way. And
261 00:27:04 --> 00:27:10 one of the things that I did a lot was you poke fun at other people that claim
262 00:27:10 --> 00:27:14 to be professionals or whatever. And I would do it with a demo account, which,
263 00:27:15 --> 00:27:23 in and of itself is clowning, right? But the the polarizing views that would you
264 00:27:23 --> 00:27:29 begin from, that is what caused the train wreck that people would want to
265 00:27:29 --> 00:27:34 come and see, and that allowed me to build a crowd without ever paying for
266 00:27:34 --> 00:27:39 advertising. But unfortunately, some of you just can't accept the fact that
267 00:27:39 --> 00:27:46 that's what that was, I know how to trade clearly, but I allow folks to have
268 00:27:46 --> 00:27:50 their strong opinions about me, because I know there's another side of the
269 00:27:50 --> 00:27:56 community that will vehemently defend me, not that I need it, but it allowed
270 00:27:56 --> 00:28:02 my my persona, to gain traction, and that's what viral marketing is all
271 00:28:02 --> 00:28:06 about. You want to have something that people believe in so much that they're
272 00:28:06 --> 00:28:13 willing to go to war over it, and that's how ICT built this following, not to
273 00:28:13 --> 00:28:15 mention it's the best content out there too.
274 00:28:21 --> 00:28:24 So we're in close proximity. Now this is about where I would want to take a
275 00:28:24 --> 00:28:31 partial, okay, so just practicing when I preach, we can do something like this.
276 00:28:31 --> 00:28:31 We'll take 250,000
277 00:28:34 --> 00:28:38 off. Okay, and you buy that there,
278 00:28:38 --> 00:28:44 and that satisfies that desire to be right? Okay, that's what I teach. That's
279 00:28:44 --> 00:28:48 what I I promote. If you look at all the mentorship stuff that I've put out over
280 00:28:48 --> 00:28:52 the years, in the beginning, you're going to want to feel like you've done
281 00:28:52 --> 00:28:56 something correct. Now, since you've done a partial, as soon as you take the
282 00:28:56 --> 00:29:04 first partial, your stop has to cover costs. Then you submit to the idea that
283 00:29:04 --> 00:29:10 the rest of the trade might go against you. And some of you that are highly
284 00:29:10 --> 00:29:13 critical, if this were to turn around and stop me out where it's at right now,
285 00:29:13 --> 00:29:17 you would look at it well, you left $1,700 on the table. That's stupid.
286 00:29:18 --> 00:29:25 Well, the idea is that you have to grow as a trader to learn to trust these
287 00:29:25 --> 00:29:31 moves. Nothing in here suggests that it's going to absolutely deliver. For
288 00:29:31 --> 00:29:36 me, no trade is ever guaranteed. That's why we have to have stop loss otherwise.
289 00:29:36 --> 00:29:39 I mean, I wouldn't even use a stop loss, and I would just go full leverage,
290 00:29:39 --> 00:29:43 whatever the maximum leverage would be allowed, and I would trade every single
291 00:29:43 --> 00:29:47 trade setup like that, but I don't do those things. Why? Because there's
292 00:29:47 --> 00:29:51 inherent risks, and the market could always change on a dime. It can do
293 00:29:51 --> 00:29:58 things that cause, you know, wild spikes, wild gyrations, and that might
294 00:29:58 --> 00:30:03 be adverse. For whatever position I may hold, or whatever bias I may hold, for
295 00:30:03 --> 00:30:06 that session, that day, that week, whatever instrument I'm using. So
296 00:30:07 --> 00:30:12 because it's it's important to grow gradually in your understanding and not
297 00:30:12 --> 00:30:19 expect overnight success, which, unfortunately, social media has promoted
298 00:30:19 --> 00:30:23 the idea that that's possible where you can have you watch a video, listen to a
299 00:30:23 --> 00:30:28 guy or gal explain some kind of a setup or whatever, and it's so easy, everybody
300 00:30:28 --> 00:30:32 can do it, and then you go out there and you find it's not the case. And my
301 00:30:32 --> 00:30:36 content is the same, like I can simplify it, like I did with the silver bullet.
302 00:30:37 --> 00:30:43 But still, if you're not properly equipped with patience, understanding
303 00:30:43 --> 00:30:47 what the setup is, understanding where the draw on liquidity is, that fair
304 00:30:47 --> 00:30:52 value gap that forms after 10 o'clock, it's still going to not help you at all,
305 00:30:52 --> 00:30:58 because you have just one component to it, and you have to have a combination
306 00:30:58 --> 00:31:01 of ingredients to get blue ribbon results right. So
307 00:31:08 --> 00:31:14 individuals are very critical, and they leave comments on my videos that only I
308 00:31:14 --> 00:31:21 can see, but I I see a weakness in individuals that think just like that,
309 00:31:21 --> 00:31:25 where they'll say, Well, if it, in other words, if it comes back up and stops me
310 00:31:25 --> 00:31:31 out, and I only take 146 point 67 and this is a demo, by the way, because I
311 00:31:31 --> 00:31:34 don't trade Forex anymore, but I promised I was going to teach you guys,
312 00:31:34 --> 00:31:37 and I'll give you examples. And this is a London session setup, so you're going
313 00:31:37 --> 00:31:40 to be mad. I'm going to see comments, why didn't you do this in the telegram
314 00:31:40 --> 00:31:44 channel, or why you're not live streaming it because I'm not a signal
315 00:31:44 --> 00:31:48 service, and remember, I'm doing this because I love doing it. You're asking
316 00:31:48 --> 00:31:52 me to do things I'm not comfortable doing, and that that will steal the joy
317 00:31:52 --> 00:31:59 from wanting to do it at all. Right? So understanding, gradual, increased
318 00:31:59 --> 00:32:07 knowledge, experience, those things have to be modular. You can't squeeze in, you
319 00:32:07 --> 00:32:12 know, five years of experience in a workshop or a seminar or webinar or one
320 00:32:12 --> 00:32:18 video, or a five minute condensed video where there's no rant, there's no rant,
321 00:32:18 --> 00:32:22 you know, here's an ICT or Michael Huddleston video, and I'm going to take
322 00:32:22 --> 00:32:31 out all the most important stuff, videos or channels that do that they're
323 00:32:31 --> 00:32:37 actually doing a disservice. You're not learning it properly. And then you see
324 00:32:37 --> 00:32:42 people say, Well, I tried ICT stuff and I couldn't make it work. I promise you,
325 00:32:42 --> 00:32:46 you're not going to make anything work. Because if I've given you step by step
326 00:32:46 --> 00:32:50 rules and things and processes and protocols that this is what makes it
327 00:32:50 --> 00:32:56 high probability, or changes it from low probability to high probability, then
328 00:32:57 --> 00:33:01 you have to stick to it. You have to learn to engage in that.
329 00:33:04 --> 00:33:06 This is also one that was trading below
330 00:33:08 --> 00:33:14 that low here. That would be a nice partial too, because it's trading into a
331 00:33:14 --> 00:33:15 minor cell cycle.
332 00:33:21 --> 00:33:25 It touches the top of that five minute Python analysis on efficiency, that
333 00:33:25 --> 00:33:27 little pink area that
334 00:33:27 --> 00:33:28 could also be a partial.
335 00:33:35 --> 00:33:38 Over the years, when you get more confident that you feel like you've
336 00:33:39 --> 00:33:43 you've properly positioned yourself in a move, then you don't have to do any
337 00:33:43 --> 00:33:48 partials. That's a little bit hard to do. Admittedly, it took a long time for
338 00:33:48 --> 00:33:53 me to get to that, that frame of mind, you know, I could see a lot of moves
339 00:33:53 --> 00:33:58 when I was coming up as a 20 year old, and the impatience of I just want to be
340 00:33:58 --> 00:34:03 right. I want to be right. You know that as a as a young man, I struggle with
341 00:34:03 --> 00:34:10 that a lot, and one of the best tools to combat that is learning to just simply
342 00:34:10 --> 00:34:15 take something off, and when you're not trying to share your results with
343 00:34:15 --> 00:34:21 everybody on social media. It's actually easier to do that because you paying
344 00:34:21 --> 00:34:27 yourself in a well funded, winning trade, but before it's closed and has
345 00:34:27 --> 00:34:31 full realized profit? In other words, full realized profit is when this limit
346 00:34:31 --> 00:34:37 order gets hit, and then everything on this trade collapses. The stop goes
347 00:34:37 --> 00:34:43 away, the position profitability, or open profitability, the P and L for it
348 00:34:43 --> 00:34:49 ceases to exist, and then you are now at a finite, closed position where, hey,
349 00:34:49 --> 00:34:53 this is all you got. You can't make anymore. You can't lose anymore.
350 00:34:56 --> 00:35:00 That that struggle is. Until
351 00:35:00 --> 00:35:05 that happens like this is the finish line here. In the entire time you're in
352 00:35:05 --> 00:35:10 the trade, you're wrestling with, what if it goes even lower, or what if it
353 00:35:10 --> 00:35:16 never goes there at all. Those constantly come up in my mind too. But
354 00:35:16 --> 00:35:21 when I when I have those thoughts, I remember, I've been doing this for 33
355 00:35:21 --> 00:35:28 years. What have I seen happen more times than not see that's the benefit of
356 00:35:28 --> 00:35:34 back testing, then tape reading, forward testing with a demo and then going in,
357 00:35:34 --> 00:35:38 trading with real money and doing it for years and decades. You lean on logic
358 00:35:38 --> 00:35:44 that you have seen happen, and you can't get that same experience from a book or
359 00:35:44 --> 00:35:49 even watching all my videos. It doesn't, it doesn't translate like you want it to
360 00:35:49 --> 00:35:53 you want it to be like you watch something or you listen to someone and
361 00:35:53 --> 00:35:57 you feel like, okay, all I have to do is hear it one time and I'll be able to
362 00:35:57 --> 00:36:00 determine if that's real good or not. When you don't have any experience as a
363 00:36:01 --> 00:36:05 as a beginner or as a new student, you have no you have no foundation to lean
364 00:36:05 --> 00:36:11 upon. Everything's a new experience for you. So remember the first time you
365 00:36:11 --> 00:36:16 dated, the first time your girlfriend held your hand. You that, that feeling
366 00:36:16 --> 00:36:20 of you can't even think clearly, you lost all control. Your mind's racing
367 00:36:20 --> 00:36:25 with all kinds of wonderful thoughts, right? So that's how my children got
368 00:36:25 --> 00:36:31 here, by the way. Yeah, I have the I have tendencies, you know, as a man, and
369 00:36:31 --> 00:36:35 those same things occur when you're a new student and trading the idea of
370 00:36:35 --> 00:36:40 making a lot of money, that idea of being profitable, see, that kind of
371 00:36:40 --> 00:36:44 stuff like that, that doesn't worry me, even if it comes back and stops me out,
372 00:36:44 --> 00:36:47 it does not bother me, because I know there's setups that are going to repeat
373 00:36:47 --> 00:36:52 over and over and over again, that if this gets stopped out, it's okay. It
374 00:36:52 --> 00:36:56 doesn't mean the stuff stops working. Doesn't mean the model is broken. It
375 00:36:56 --> 00:37:00 doesn't mean that they change the algorithm. It just simply means that I
376 00:37:00 --> 00:37:07 didn't get more than what I got, and it's okay, I made more than 99.9% of you
377 00:37:07 --> 00:37:11 out there that are brand new as traders that don't know what you're looking for.
378 00:37:11 --> 00:37:16 And that's what I had to tell myself every single time as a 20 year old, when
379 00:37:16 --> 00:37:21 I did it right, I reminded myself, I followed my plan, I follow my strategy,
380 00:37:21 --> 00:37:29 I follow the concepts that I'm forging. And until you wrestle that idea of I
381 00:37:29 --> 00:37:33 don't need to change anything. I have something that works, but what I have
382 00:37:33 --> 00:37:38 doesn't work 100% of time. Nothing works 100% of time. Absolutely nothing works
383 00:37:38 --> 00:37:42 100% of the time. So you have to submit yourself to the idea that if I know
384 00:37:42 --> 00:37:49 there's a probability of it working more time than not, then all I have to do is
385 00:37:49 --> 00:37:54 manage risk and then simply trade the setup. The setup is, I'm looking for
386 00:37:54 --> 00:37:59 price to get below this low to what degree it can go down to that
387 00:37:59 --> 00:38:06 inefficiency that was framed on the five minute chart. Simple, but hard to do
388 00:38:06 --> 00:38:09 when you're brand new, because you see things like this, and you're thinking,
389 00:38:09 --> 00:38:12 what happens if it turns around, goes higher, then it goes higher, you can't
390 00:38:12 --> 00:38:19 stop it. You can't stop it. I can't stop it. So you have to simply allow price to
391 00:38:19 --> 00:38:24 do whatever price is going to do. And the best thing that you can do is limit
392 00:38:24 --> 00:38:29 risk, manage risk impeccably, and follow the setup or the idea that you're using
393 00:38:29 --> 00:38:33 to trade. And you have to do it consistently. Don't change it, don't try
394 00:38:33 --> 00:38:38 to add new parameters to it. Keep it very, very simple. And by doing that,
395 00:38:38 --> 00:38:43 what you'll do is you'll discover all the things that you generally overthink
396 00:38:43 --> 00:38:48 about and you worry about and obsessively, compulsively stress about,
397 00:38:49 --> 00:38:53 many times they're not even there, the what if scenarios, what if it doesn't do
398 00:38:53 --> 00:38:57 this, and what if it does this? What happens if the trade does exactly what
399 00:38:57 --> 00:39:01 you hoped it would do? That's what you're constantly looking for. I'm
400 00:39:01 --> 00:39:06 looking at this for feedback. Does price indicate that it's still adhering to
401 00:39:06 --> 00:39:09 what I believe it's going to do, which is trade down into this inefficiency?
402 00:39:09 --> 00:39:16 Notice this line in here, let me, let me darken it up that that midpoint or
403 00:39:16 --> 00:39:19 consequent encouragement of that five minute buy something to balance outside
404 00:39:19 --> 00:39:25 efficiency. My limit order is above that to get out. So if it comes down and just
405 00:39:25 --> 00:39:28 falls short of touching the consequent encouragement that still will fill my
406 00:39:28 --> 00:39:36 limit order, I'm not in a rush to jam my stop loss down. This is a in this very,
407 00:39:36 --> 00:39:41 very crucial thing for your development. Once you take a partial, you've made
408 00:39:41 --> 00:39:46 money, you've taken something out, you move the stop loss to cover costs, and
409 00:39:46 --> 00:39:53 that's it. Then you live in that trade until it delivers what you want it to
410 00:39:53 --> 00:39:58 do, where it trades into your target. There's no other way, folks, there's
411 00:39:58 --> 00:40:02 simply no other way. Way to get to the experience level that you're asking many
412 00:40:02 --> 00:40:07 times in the comment section, when you send me emails, when you send me posts
413 00:40:07 --> 00:40:12 on X, when you send me things you know, on trading view, and you comment, you
414 00:40:12 --> 00:40:18 ask, you know, how do I hold trades? How do I put positions on and not have a
415 00:40:18 --> 00:40:22 stop loss that freaks me out? Or I put a stop loss where I believe it's not going
416 00:40:22 --> 00:40:25 to go. What? What gives me the conviction or the confidence? It's the
417 00:40:25 --> 00:40:30 fact that I submitted myself three decades plus, doing things that are
418 00:40:30 --> 00:40:36 uncomfortable. That's all it is. But because you don't know what it is you're
419 00:40:36 --> 00:40:40 trying to do, even if you watch my videos, it doesn't translate into you
420 00:40:40 --> 00:40:43 knowing how I trade it doesn't mean that you can go out there and do the same
421 00:40:43 --> 00:40:50 thing, because you are avoiding the very paramount issue of being personally
422 00:40:50 --> 00:40:55 responsible. That means understanding what the content is, the concept, and
423 00:40:55 --> 00:40:59 then going back into your charts, looking for it in hindsight, not just
424 00:40:59 --> 00:41:04 one time for months. It takes months of studying something just like in med
425 00:41:04 --> 00:41:08 school. Would you want someone doing surgery on your child or your wife or
426 00:41:08 --> 00:41:11 your husband, your loved one, your mother or father, if they just simply
427 00:41:11 --> 00:41:15 watched a video about doing open heart surgery? They're equipped now because
428 00:41:15 --> 00:41:22 they watch the video. No, no, I wouldn't want to. So you have to treat this
429 00:41:22 --> 00:41:28 trading business that you're building with even greater, you know, scrutiny.
430 00:41:28 --> 00:41:32 You have to allow yourself to say, Okay, it's going to take me time. How much
431 00:41:32 --> 00:41:36 time I don't know, you don't know either, but you have to be willing to
432 00:41:36 --> 00:41:41 submit yourself to whatever degree of adversity and time is going to require
433 00:41:41 --> 00:41:47 for you to work through whatever complications you have while learning
434 00:41:47 --> 00:41:52 it. And that's a very hard thing to do in the beginning, because you have all
435 00:41:52 --> 00:41:58 these concerns, and mostly it's greed. You just simply want to learn how to
436 00:41:58 --> 00:42:01 make money right now, because in your mind, you're thinking, if I could just
437 00:42:01 --> 00:42:04 make money, if I could just get a funded accountant and get a payout one time,
438 00:42:04 --> 00:42:08 even if it's 500 bucks, that's going to be a huge Look at that. It's almost
439 00:42:08 --> 00:42:09 like,
440 00:42:10 --> 00:42:11 oh, you see that?
441 00:42:14 --> 00:42:19 Come on, get down here and give it to me. You jokers. They traded down into
442 00:42:19 --> 00:42:24 the just shy of the consequent encroachment right there. So you see it
443 00:42:25 --> 00:42:32 wicked down into it. But they didn't give you the oh, now they, come on, come
444 00:42:32 --> 00:42:34 on, get down in there.
445 00:42:41 --> 00:42:48 Just in case insurance, and now, because it did that, I'll put the stop loss
446 00:42:48 --> 00:42:48 there
447 00:42:50 --> 00:42:54 whenever I have an issue where the limit order should have filled and doesn't
448 00:42:57 --> 00:43:01 bring that stop down if I'm short, and vice versa, if I'm long, because it
449 00:43:01 --> 00:43:05 could just simply just deny me, and if you strong hold it in arm wrestle and
450 00:43:05 --> 00:43:11 say no, I'm gonna demand Everything or Nothing. It's just it never. It never
451 00:43:11 --> 00:43:15 really pants out well for me, so rules and processes, that's what it is. So if
452 00:43:15 --> 00:43:17 it comes back and stops me out, at
453 00:43:20 --> 00:43:26 least I made another 1353, hypothetically, right? So
454 00:43:27 --> 00:43:33 seeing it deliver it's still just as good, and seeing it not fill is
455 00:43:33 --> 00:43:37 something that's also beneficial for you as a student watching. But remember, we
456 00:43:37 --> 00:43:42 were watching all of it up here, and what I was trying to articulate to you
457 00:43:42 --> 00:43:46 is I could visualize how, when we were inside this bison balance of sign
458 00:43:46 --> 00:43:50 efficiency, staying in the lower half like this, that's important, and then
459 00:43:50 --> 00:43:55 the market gravitating down to this low, and below that low, to what degree
460 00:43:56 --> 00:44:00 inside that five minute bicycle analysis on efficiency. So I I really
461 00:44:07 --> 00:44:09 wouldn't want to see it trade back up to this
462 00:44:10 --> 00:44:14 inversion for value gap, because we've already used it here. We failed to go to
463 00:44:14 --> 00:44:18 the midpoint, and then we broke lower and traded below the minor sell side
464 00:44:18 --> 00:44:23 liquidity pool. So you know, all things being equal, either it takes my stop
465 00:44:23 --> 00:44:28 loss here or stops me out, either, either case. Now I'm okay with it,
466 00:44:28 --> 00:44:32 because you've watched it deliver where I was saying it was going to go, it just
467 00:44:32 --> 00:44:34 simply didn't execute on the limit order,
468 00:44:35 --> 00:44:39 which is going to happen sometimes. Why does that? Why does that happen? You
469 00:44:39 --> 00:44:43 know, you're going to ask me that sometimes it simply says, No,
470 00:44:48 --> 00:45:20 hmm. That stop might be taken, but it's okay.
471 00:45:25 --> 00:45:30 This is why partials pay 100% of the time. There's never been a partial
472 00:45:30 --> 00:45:35 profit that was never profitable. Think about that. It's 100% success rate in
473 00:45:35 --> 00:45:42 taking partial profits and knowing when to do it, why you should do it. It's all
474 00:45:42 --> 00:45:44 based on things I've already taught.
475 00:45:55 --> 00:46:00 It's a new trader or new student. You might get angry here. You might get mood
476 00:46:00 --> 00:46:05 and cause you to feel like you want to. Whenever this trade gets stopped out or
477 00:46:05 --> 00:46:10 goes to limit order, should whatever side it happens to execute on, you might
478 00:46:10 --> 00:46:14 feel a certain kind of way where you feel like you were robbed of something,
479 00:46:14 --> 00:46:18 and you get stimulated to the degree where now you want to have some kind of
480 00:46:18 --> 00:46:23 revenge, or you feel like you've beat them, and now you're wanting to go back
481 00:46:23 --> 00:46:27 into the arena like a gladiator. Never, never, never, never act on those
482 00:46:27 --> 00:46:32 impulsive thoughts if you get stopped out, be content with what you've been
483 00:46:32 --> 00:46:36 given. The Lord blessed you with that. Be content with it. Enough is enough.
484 00:46:38 --> 00:46:42 But when you submit yourself the idea of these intrusive thoughts where you feel
485 00:46:42 --> 00:46:46 like you have to go out and get more because it didn't pan out exactly like
486 00:46:46 --> 00:46:49 you wanted to do, like in a perfect world, the limit order should have
487 00:46:49 --> 00:46:54 filled. It should have filled on that dive down in there. But if this was your
488 00:46:54 --> 00:46:59 trade and did that, where it went below, it should have filled. But didn't, you
489 00:46:59 --> 00:47:05 now have a new sensation in your mind. You're having thoughts, you're amped up.
490 00:47:06 --> 00:47:12 You have a lot more emotional attachment to what the market has done to you that
491 00:47:12 --> 00:47:16 day, even in this case, being profitable, hypothetically, because it's
492 00:47:16 --> 00:47:21 a demo account, I don't trade with Forex with real money, okay, but because I'm
493 00:47:21 --> 00:47:26 teaching you, I'm showing you what it is that you're asking questions about,
494 00:47:28 --> 00:47:33 I have to execute right so, but if this was your trade,
495 00:47:34 --> 00:47:36 you would feel inclined, because I'm telling you, I did the same thing as a
496 00:47:36 --> 00:47:41 20 year old. When the bond market would do things like this to me, I would get
497 00:47:41 --> 00:47:46 really mad. I'd be like, Why did they why did they not get me out? Let broker
498 00:47:46 --> 00:47:52 screwed me that that brokerage firm denied me Okay, and now I'm mad about
499 00:47:52 --> 00:47:57 something that's outside of the trade. It's outside of what with the trade
500 00:47:57 --> 00:48:03 still open. So now, am I focusing on what the price is doing. No, I'm mad.
501 00:48:03 --> 00:48:08 I'm distracted about something that I had no control over. I can't go back and
502 00:48:08 --> 00:48:12 change it. The broker is not going to say, well, let me go back and just,
503 00:48:12 --> 00:48:16 we'll, we'll give you a fill there. If they do, they're a wonderful broker.
504 00:48:16 --> 00:48:20 I've never had that experience with anyone. And the bottom line is, is you
505 00:48:20 --> 00:48:26 have to stay focused. You have to know what is you're looking for. Adhere to
506 00:48:26 --> 00:48:32 that logic come hell or high water, the trade stops you out where you placed
507 00:48:32 --> 00:48:33 your stop with logic
508 00:48:34 --> 00:48:37 or it gives you your target.
509 00:48:37 --> 00:48:41 And at the end of that trade, whether stopped out or Hence your limit order.
510 00:48:42 --> 00:48:46 Until that occurs, you have to submit to the original trade idea in the logic
511 00:48:46 --> 00:48:53 that you use to get into it. And it's not easy to do in the beginning. It's
512 00:48:53 --> 00:48:58 very, very hard. It's complicated. It's complex. It feels like it's an
513 00:48:58 --> 00:49:03 insurmountable task that you'll never get past that point, but eventually, if
514 00:49:03 --> 00:49:09 you keep doing it, you do, and far too little people that go into trading ever
515 00:49:09 --> 00:49:16 make it through that threshold. I could teach you until the end of my life. I
516 00:49:16 --> 00:49:21 could teach you everything that I'd be willing to only teach my kids. For the
517 00:49:21 --> 00:49:25 majority of you, it would not help you, because you're not equipped to be number
518 00:49:25 --> 00:49:30 one personally responsible or work on the things that are problematic in most
519 00:49:30 --> 00:49:37 most individuals, which is impatience, greed, fear. How many times watching
520 00:49:37 --> 00:49:42 this did you feel like the market was going to do a certain thing, and if this
521 00:49:42 --> 00:49:46 was your trade, here's my limit order. How many times did you watch it and
522 00:49:46 --> 00:49:51 think to yourself that it this is what's likely to happen if you were in that
523 00:49:51 --> 00:49:55 trade, you found some kind of anxiety, but you're not really in the trade, but
524 00:49:55 --> 00:50:01 you're watching it. If I could show you how many times. Uh, individuals you
525 00:50:01 --> 00:50:06 commented about how they watch when I'm executing where my stop loss is real
526 00:50:06 --> 00:50:11 close to price, but it doesn't go there. And they'd say I was anxious. I felt
527 00:50:11 --> 00:50:16 anxious and I was watching trade and I felt like I was in it, and I would be so
528 00:50:16 --> 00:50:20 scared. Well, it's because you have not done enough in the past. That's the
529 00:50:20 --> 00:50:25 work. That's what even all of my paid mentorship students that failed, and
530 00:50:25 --> 00:50:30 they get angry and they have emotional, you know, opinions about me, all they're
531 00:50:30 --> 00:50:37 doing is deflecting anyone that comes to me and doesn't see the value of what it
532 00:50:37 --> 00:50:41 is I'm teaching, because I'm actually using the logic you're watching me use
533 00:50:41 --> 00:50:47 it in telegram in a setting that's not monetized. I could go on live stream
534 00:50:47 --> 00:50:52 again and say everything I'm saying in that telegram channel. I'm proving to
535 00:50:52 --> 00:50:58 you that I don't need YouTube. Need YouTube AdSense. I don't care. I love
536 00:50:58 --> 00:51:01 teaching. I love it. I absolutely love it. I absolutely love it, because I
537 00:51:01 --> 00:51:04 remember what it was like when I was a 20 year old, and I wished there was
538 00:51:04 --> 00:51:10 somebody like me today, and there wasn't. So I became the Santa Claus. I
539 00:51:10 --> 00:51:14 became the myth, the legend, the guy that knows it and just gives it to you
540 00:51:14 --> 00:51:18 for free. Because if he really knows what he's doing, if he really knows what
541 00:51:18 --> 00:51:23 he's doing, and can make money, and he doesn't need your money. He's not going
542 00:51:23 --> 00:51:27 to ask for it. He's just going to say, hey, you know what? I know what it felt
543 00:51:27 --> 00:51:32 like. I know what it felt like for me, and I know it's no different to anyone
544 00:51:32 --> 00:51:36 else. When they first start, they it's hard to trust anyone. And my question
545 00:51:36 --> 00:51:43 is, what's preventing you from trusting me. I don't need you to trust me.
546 00:51:43 --> 00:51:49 Remember that I don't need anything from you as the audience, but I want you to
547 00:51:49 --> 00:51:52 think about for a second, why would you not trust me?
548 00:51:54 --> 00:51:58 I haven't asked for a payment. I don't ask for you to even say thank you
549 00:51:58 --> 00:51:58 anymore.
550 00:52:00 --> 00:52:06 I'm saying just judge what you see me do judge by what you see me. Explain before
551 00:52:06 --> 00:52:14 it happens. Look at them. Amazing degree of profitable students that I have, the
552 00:52:14 --> 00:52:20 prop firm companies hate my students. A lot of the things that you're seeing
553 00:52:20 --> 00:52:23 them change the rules, it's because my students are beating their rear end.
554 00:52:24 --> 00:52:28 They're taking money from them, and they're coming up with all these
555 00:52:28 --> 00:52:31 different excuses why they got to change the rules and make trading even harder
556 00:52:31 --> 00:52:35 than it would be if you were just trading with your own money. And that's
557 00:52:35 --> 00:52:39 why I'm doing it, because I'm telling you these prop firms, and not even
558 00:52:39 --> 00:52:45 really prop, okay, these monetized demo accounts, they're going to be like the
559 00:52:45 --> 00:52:50 dinosaurs eventually. They're not going to be here, folks, I promise you,
560 00:52:50 --> 00:52:55 they're not going to be here. And they're in the fall of their life cycle,
561 00:52:56 --> 00:52:58 and you see it with all of their extreme
562 00:52:58 --> 00:53:03 complications and rules. And you can't do this. You can't do that. Deny your
563 00:53:03 --> 00:53:06 payments. Deny your payments. Eventually, what's going to happen is
564 00:53:06 --> 00:53:08 there's going to be class action lawsuits against
565 00:53:08 --> 00:53:13 these firms, and they're gonna be forced to shut down. So doesn't it make sense
566 00:53:13 --> 00:53:16 for you to learn how to do this properly, even with a little bit of
567 00:53:16 --> 00:53:20 money, just a little bit of money, of what you already wasted in Prop firm
568 00:53:20 --> 00:53:25 companies. If you put that into a brokerage firm that is a deep discount
569 00:53:25 --> 00:53:28 brokerage, I'm not going to put anybody's name here, because I'm not
570 00:53:28 --> 00:53:32 going to be viewed as an introducing broker, which I'm not. I'm not
571 00:53:32 --> 00:53:41 affiliated with any company, any entity, any brokerage firm, none. So if you were
572 00:53:41 --> 00:53:46 to take this logic and apply it to your own money when you're just trading with
573 00:53:46 --> 00:53:48 one micro contract,
574 00:53:50 --> 00:53:52 think about it. You're going
575 00:53:52 --> 00:53:56 to do far better than what you're doing wasting time gambling in these prop firm
576 00:53:56 --> 00:53:59 companies you're trying to get rich when a lottery win, because you're watching
577 00:53:59 --> 00:54:05 these influencers do it when they don't have to pay for their resets, and
578 00:54:05 --> 00:54:07 they're getting rich off of your failures.
579 00:54:09 --> 00:54:12 So again, let me ask you, why don't you trust me?
580 00:54:15 --> 00:54:20 Because you believe all the things you've heard about me and you've never
581 00:54:20 --> 00:54:25 watched it firsthand, and now you're seeing it. And for some of you, you're
582 00:54:25 --> 00:54:29 contacting me, and you're saying I am having a real hard time believing what
583 00:54:29 --> 00:54:32 I'm seeing, because I've always thought you were a scammer. I always thought you
584 00:54:32 --> 00:54:36 were a fraud, and I believed everything, and I got caught up in all that, but I'm
585 00:54:36 --> 00:54:42 having a hard time wrestling with what I'm watching you do live. I understand,
586 00:54:42 --> 00:54:45 and I take that as a compliment. That means the persona I put out there that
587 00:54:45 --> 00:54:51 was very divisive was amazingly effective, and it's okay, but all I'm
588 00:54:51 --> 00:54:57 asking you to do is simply just judge by what you see given to you beforehand,
589 00:54:58 --> 00:55:03 and then submit to the. Process. It's not costing you any money, and it won't
590 00:55:03 --> 00:55:09 take you very much time to see initial evidence that there's something beyond
591 00:55:09 --> 00:55:14 what you think is buying and selling pressure. And once you, once that bug
592 00:55:14 --> 00:55:15 bites you,
593 00:55:18 --> 00:55:22 you're ICT infected for life, and there's no cure, because
594 00:55:22 --> 00:55:26 you'll never look at the market differently. You'll never listen or even
595 00:55:26 --> 00:55:29 tolerate anybody else out there trying to explain to you why the market's going
596 00:55:29 --> 00:55:39 to go up or down. And then you become what we considered our cult member. And
597 00:55:39 --> 00:55:43 it's, you know, it's funny to think about it that way, but it's okay. It
598 00:55:43 --> 00:55:44 just means that you now are,
599 00:55:46 --> 00:55:47 you're initiated,
600 00:55:48 --> 00:55:54 and for people outside of our circle, our understanding, it seems cultish. It
601 00:55:54 --> 00:56:00 seems like, you know, we're all just, you know, Hive minded, and you can't see
602 00:56:00 --> 00:56:06 that I'm something that I'm not. Let's say it that way, that that's the
603 00:56:06 --> 00:56:08 perceived idea.
604 00:56:09 --> 00:56:14 But what happens when these same people like yourself sit down and say, You know
605 00:56:14 --> 00:56:17 what, I'm gonna look for this guy to get it wrong, and you're still waiting,
606 00:56:17 --> 00:56:23 aren't you? I'm not trying to be egotistical. I'm talking to you like we
607 00:56:23 --> 00:56:28 were talking like we just met face to face. I don't drink, I don't go to a bar
608 00:56:28 --> 00:56:31 or anything like that, but somehow we met somewhere, and you're just talking
609 00:56:34 --> 00:56:41 you're seeing things that shouldn't be possible. You're seeing things outlined
610 00:56:41 --> 00:56:50 in a way that has to be time travel or some kind of superior intellect, and
611 00:56:50 --> 00:56:51 it's neither.
612 00:56:53 --> 00:56:59 It's an understanding of how these markets really book, and it's not based
613 00:56:59 --> 00:57:03 on anything, nothing else that's ever been out there before. And
614 00:57:05 --> 00:57:11 if it wasn't for the grace of God, I wouldn't know what I know. That's where
615 00:57:11 --> 00:57:15 it comes from, that's, that's, that's who taught me,
616 00:57:16 --> 00:57:20 and that's, I know that sounds crazy, and I know there's influencers out there
617 00:57:20 --> 00:57:25 that love taking shots at it, but to simply sit back and watch how God takes
618 00:57:25 --> 00:57:30 care of them, because God is not mocked. Promise you to sit back and watch how
619 00:57:30 --> 00:57:31 that kind of stuff happens.
620 00:57:33 --> 00:57:35 People that tear you down are
621 00:57:37 --> 00:57:41 going to be forced to watch you be rebuilt in their presence and in their
622 00:57:41 --> 00:57:47 witness, all you have to do is stick to the process. This has been entrusted to
623 00:57:47 --> 00:57:54 me, and I'm doing what I said I was going to do. So many of you have blessed
624 00:57:54 --> 00:57:59 me with your feedback, with your testimonies about how it's affected you,
625 00:57:59 --> 00:58:04 how it's improved your family's net worth, your ability to make ends meet.
626 00:58:04 --> 00:58:10 And I can't tell you how wonderful that is. That means so much more than if I
627 00:58:10 --> 00:58:16 was to sell something and you pay me more money. I don't need money. I'm here
628 00:58:16 --> 00:58:23 for the relationship aspect of being a conduit that brings glory and honor and
629 00:58:23 --> 00:58:28 praise to God, because without Jesus, Michael, can't be who I am, and
630 00:58:29 --> 00:58:30 that's the truth.
631 00:58:32 --> 00:58:39 And some of you, unfortunately can't see past that persona I put out there for
632 00:58:39 --> 00:58:39 marketing.
633 00:58:41 --> 00:58:42 My question is,
634 00:58:43 --> 00:58:46 will you still feel that way at the end of this year?
635 00:58:48 --> 00:58:50 That's what I'm interested
636 00:58:51 --> 00:58:55 in. I'm not trying to change your mind. I'm not trying to recruit you. I'm
637 00:58:55 --> 00:58:59 challenging your perception. What do you really believe at the end of this year?
638 00:59:01 --> 00:59:04 Do you really believe there's an algorithm, or there's no algorithm?
639 00:59:07 --> 00:59:08 We'll see in December? Hope
640 00:59:09 --> 00:59:12 you found this insightful. Hope you found it encouraging, as I'll talk to
641 00:59:12 --> 00:59:13 you next time. Lord willing.
642 00:59:14 --> 00:59:15 Be safe. Bye.
