 lens and then I'm going to get started. What's up everyone today is Monday today is YouTube live day as you guys have noticed this is not my normal office so I am actually in Miami now an apartment here in Miami and I kind of want to show you guys my Miami setup so this is kind of I know I have my wire management is pretty horrible right now but this is pretty much my Miami setup pretty nice view over here nice view over here too this is kind of going to be my office area here and pretty much guys this is where I'm gonna get my trading done when I'm in Miami I'm just waiting for a microphone and waiting for a webcam so that I can make audio messages and maybe record some of my traits here too but my biggest problem has always been when I've been traveling to Miami I haven't really had a work computer I've had a work laptop which is fine but you know for the style of trading that I do I mean using a laptop is not really too helpful so I need a full setup here and this is pretty much the same desktop that I've been using in Miami when I was at my brother's house and the desk pretty much everything else except the tower is pretty much brand new and Amazon is crazy in Miami it's not like this in Jersey but you could order something and then like three hours it shows up so I just keep ordering shit ordering shit ordering shit so this is gonna be my Miami setup I'm gonna be here for a couple more days I came into town to celebrate a friend's birthday so first day trading on it it is green doesn't mean I don't have to throw it out the window like I was planning but I'm gonna try to come to Miami more often to meet more of a vacation spot to meet more of a reset spot so a lot of people been asking and I'm glad I have the full setup here so let's talk about the market let's talk about trading so a couple things before we begin is the day trading vlogs are coming back guys so the day in the life the lifestyle of trading is coming back hopefully in a week I recorded three episodes already and they're just taking a long time to be edited so going forward I want to try to do at least once a week day trading vlog my roommate George who's also my photo video guy wants to learn how to trade so while he's been recording me he's been you know learning how to trade as well so hopefully you guys see his evolution of you know going from a complete beginner that knows nothing about trading to you know hopefully becoming a consistently profitable trader he's watched the accelerator he's paper trading right now he had five green days in a row and one red day wiped away all of his gains so he's still learning he still has no idea what he's doing but I'm gonna be here to kind of support him so you guys are gonna be seeing his journey as well while he's recording me so three episodes of that hopefully that should be released soon next is the live trade so we I have at least recorded I think I'm up to 12 live trades around 260 270 thousand dollars in total and my first live trade of my 150 thousand dollar profit with my commentary with my voice over in the entire video is going to be posted probably either later this week or next week so be on the lookout for it guys it's gonna be a 145 thousand dollar live trades it's gonna be free for everyone on YouTube free for everyone and going forward my live trades are gonna be reserved for lifetime members only so right now as of this very moment there's about 270 thousand dollars worth of live trades recorded commentated ready to go as every day passes I'm gonna be recording more and more live trades so ideally my goal is to release you know one live trade a week and I have about a three month buffer already so far so I have about three months of live trades ready to go these are wins and losses I'm showing you wins and losses so you guys could see what that's all about but I think going forward the combination of day trading vlogs and the combination of live trades will make M.I.C. our vision of being the number one educators out there right so we set the standard we we kind of create the we kind of create what we want other communities to do you know we partnered up with a new broker and our old broker started changing you know we've created new content a lot of people are starting to follow it so going forward my goal is just create more live trades there's not gonna be any pumping there's not gonna be any alerting there's not gonna be any scamming I'm gonna record the trade live then I'm gonna commentate over the trade I'm gonna get that edited to cut out you know the two hours of fluff in between the trade and I'm gonna provide that to you guys going forward the first live trade one hundred forty five thousand dollar trade on bed bath and beyond which is one of my biggest trades of the year is record it'll be released either this week or next week so stay on the lookout for that and going forward live trades for lifetime members okay so while we innovate other communities you know imitate so that's kind of the spiel I want to give on that stuff so let's talk about trading today so this is being recorded on October 10th 2022 we are in the middle of the most chaotic bear market in you know history just like you know historians are going to be talking about the market from 2020 to 2021 they're also going to be talking about this market from you know 2022 you know in terms of wealth generation you know wealth has been you know cut in half for most americans or most investors you know it doesn't matter if you're holding the best companies in the world like apple or amazon your net worth is cut in half and if you're holding even shittier companies like facebook or square or whatever the hell it is your net worth is cut by 75 percent so everyone is broke right now right everyone is broke and on top of that you know the federal reserve is starting to tighten money conditions even more so the truth of the matter is guys that this is a very aggressive bear market this is very dangerous to be trading and to be honest I know a lot of people that aren't making money this year and you know I'm very happy and you know I shouldn't be complaining because you know I'm still up I think about 1.4 1.5 million dollars on the year which is great but you know compared to last year making 3 million dollars and now it's cut in half as well so you know these are just uh crybaby problems you know I'm not making enough millions whatever it is but aside from me an eight-year nine-year veteran trader a lot of traders are struggling this year and that's kind of what I want to talk to you guys about that's kind of where I want to come hear about and educate you on so let's talk about the market so I'm going to be talking from the short buys perspective and as a short buys trader my goal is not to find the top on these stocks as a short buys trader my goal is to wait for the stocks to top out wait for the stocks to confirm and once the top is set once the trend has confirmed once we know it is broken then I'm going to piggyback that trend okay so that's my entire job my entire job as a trader isn't just piggyback the trends okay if you're a long buys trader you want to piggyback strong stocks if you are a short buys trader you want to piggyback short uh broken stocks right so my trader the day today was neuro so while I'm kind of commentating about this guys you should turn on a chart and you should kind of go over this stuff with me um but I could maybe I could just show you guys right so let me kind of come on here give me one second I'm getting a little bit uh customized here okay let's do a little bit this let's do a little bit that okay so let's do this okay so let's talk about neuro guys neuro so sorry there's a little bit of glare here so let me try to move um let's talk about neuro so as you could see on neuro it was at 370 and went all the way down to 320 pre-market so it's about 50 cents of downside so as a short buys trader my job is to wait for this stock to dead cap bounce create a top and then short that top for the move down so as you guys could see you know my best trade of the day my setup on the day was this stock here I'd pretty much just waited for it to top out here and I ended up shorting it I piggybacked the trend on a broken stock okay that's number one let's talk about IMUX this is the stock that I lost on today okay so IMUX if you look at it okay it was kind of broken you know pulled back did the same thing you know pushed and the problem was that the push never really ended up coming back it never ended up failing it never ended up going down so I think I shorted somewhere around here and I think I got out you know somewhere around here when the trade thesis was no longer active and as you can see it's still grinding up right another stock that I actually avoided today was tops this stock has not really created its top every time it goes down it chops its way back up every time it goes down it chops its way back up every time it goes down it chops its way back up so the point that I'm trying to make here guys is in a bear market in an aggressive bear market like the one we're in right now stock selection is more important than ever stock selection is what's going to separate you from you know a beginner trader to an experienced trader and you know I would say that every person has a strength as a trader every person like for example you know Bao's strength as a trader is he's incredible at multitasking you know I'm the worst multitasker in the world I need to focus on one thing at a time and that's it one thing at a time only so for me I can never trade the way about trades right I can never trade the way about trades so I can't you know focus on 15 different stocks at the same time but what my talent is as a trader is I'm really good at stock selection you know after eight nine years of trading you know I've kind of narrowed down what stocks usually are probably gonna fade because I probably lost my ass and all the stocks that weren't gonna fade so in these markets you know as a long-buy trader it's very hard to make money because the cycle where it is an aggressive bear market cycle you know that doesn't mean that you should just close your eyes and short anything but you know the reality is that until something changes in this cycle you know the price action isn't going to change and you know the stocks that we trade don't really move off the indexes the stocks that we trade don't really care what the NASDAQ and S&P 500 is doing but what the NASDAQ and the S&P 500 represent is speculation right so the more markets go up the more people are willing to speculate on other stocks which is the small cap stocks that we trade so with the indexes being in the gutter with most stocks being in the gutter you know that tells us that hey speculation money is not there and speculation money isn't there these stocks aren't going to move as crazy as they used to so you know what's kind of helped me retain a seven-figure year this year is really just doubling down on the stock selection you know Bow is a 10-20 year veteran he's a 20 year veteran you can do whatever the hell he wants he excels at trading 15-20s different stocks at the same time that's not where I excel so I'm trying to stay in my wheelhouse I'm trying to stay where I'm you know good at so if you guys find yourself struggling in this market you have to ask yourself what are you doing wrong or what type of or are you not following the strategy that we're providing you know the strategy we provide works very well until 10 30 am after 10 30 am the short buy strategy that we have becomes obsolete so are you trying to use an obsolete strategy in the non-desired time frame that you know we share whereas long buys traders have the edge at 10 30 so if you're a long buys trader are you buying stocks in the wrong time frame of the day if you're a short buys trader are you shorting stocks in the wrong time frame of the day just to keep it simple you want to be shorting stocks between 9 30 and 10 30 you want to be longing stocks between 10 30 and 2 between 2 to 3 you want to be shorting and between 3 to 4 you want to be doing nothing so that little tidbit might be what's been missing in your trading so for me in addition to you know doubling down on stock selection in addition to you know kind of being a little bit more patient on my trades you know I've been sizing down this year because the way that I explain it to people is you must only be trading stocks when there's an edge right so for me that this is a stupid edge right because it's not really an edge but in my brain I convinced myself it's an edge so you go to the roulette table or say you're in Vegas and you're looking to make a very big bet on roulette and obviously this is not how roulette works it's a little bit different just so you guys kind of understand the concept that I'm saying is if the roulette table the last 15 times has been black the last 15 times in a row it's been black I'm probably going to bet that red is going to hit because again this is not a strategy but in my brain I convinced myself that that's an edge right so just like in trading we're waiting for some sort of pattern we're waiting for some sort of edge we're waiting for some sort of something to yell at us and scream at us in the face saying that this is a trade that I should take right and as full-time traders like I am myself as a full-time trader that you know is involved in the markets every single day my problem is that I sit at the computer all day long and I find false edge in stocks I find stocks that you know sometimes it doesn't really follow the plan so for me guys I'm just waiting for stocks like neuro to be broken and short the bounce I am ignoring stocks like TOPS because it's been a headache and I know that once the overall market conditions change once the overall market kind of gets into some sort of cycle of going to the upside these small cap stocks are going to follow as well so the key is to recognize what type of cycle we're in recognize what's been working what's not working I've recognized that the shorting still is working until 1030 but around 1030 these stocks are just grinding running higher because the human participation is gone and the robots the algorithmic trading is taking over so these are all things that I also talk about in the live trade so I'm really excited for you guys to see those live trades I'm really excited for you guys to understand the live trades because that's going to be your best way to learn so again doubling down on what's been working is you know I'm still up seven figures and whatever my myself guys if I'm able to make seven figures in an aggressive bear market if I'm able to still be up a million dollars in a bear market that means that when the bull cycle comes up I'm going to make a lot more money a lot of people think that short buys traders make money when the markets take and sure some of them do but for the short style that we trade for the small cap stocks that we trade to be honest you know the best money is made in bull markets because the moves are so much more exaggerated you know a small cap stock will squeeze from five to fifty in a bull market cycle but a bear market cycle maybe squeeze from five to seven so the range is contracted pretty much but that's kind of where we're at in this market I mean keeping it very simple as neuro short of the balance IMUX didn't feel right got out and ignored tops so I mean do you guys have any questions that I could answer live for you guys I've been kind of just been kind of tired man to be honest I've been really exhausted mentally you know we've been doing our best to help members we've been doing our best best to grow MIC but you know sometimes you know we forget to kind of take care of ourselves and that's why I'm here in Miami just trying to relax a little bit but anyway point is guys that every single Monday we come on here we try to educate you guys we try to help try to do my best part my biggest part to help you guys navigate these bear markets and you know as a leader I need to be there to kind of educate you when things are going well and when things aren't really going well so kind of going on to the next topic of the day is do you guys have any questions for me this is a you know live trading video you know are you guys excited for the $150,000 live trade are you guys excited for the library of live trades are you guys excited for the day trading vlogs I'm just trying to because what I've learned is these educational videos as much value as they provide a lot of people don't watch it because it may seem a little bit boring I mean I don't know how making millions of dollars and teaching you guys how to do that is boring but that's kind of the world that we're in now so I want to kind of try to spice up the content a little bit with you know vlogs and live trading and whatever else it may be and you know as a lifetime member or a potential lifetime member that is curious about joining or upgrading I mean once you guys see the live trades you're going to realize how simple this trading thing really is okay what makes you consider a stock that is broken I thought and IMUX was broken within the first hour yeah IMUX was broken I shorted the bounce but when the bounce held and reclaimed the trade thesis was no longer active it would have been the same for neuro had neuro held and reclaimed and gone higher the trade thesis was no longer active but IMUX as you can see is just grinding and grinding and grinding and I actually did a great job stopping out at 540 you know as I'm recording this is a 570 so when a stock reclaims when a stock is holding ever when a stock's trend changes then something else changes so for example today this morning a stock like sober SOBR was the hot stock of the day okay SOBR was the hot stock of the day but we mentioned that if three dollars and 33 cents broke that is support if that broke and had some sort of death candle the trend would have changed so stocks could continue to be weak until a trend changes stocks continue to be strong until a trend changes and if you look at the chart of SOBR at 9 55 AM it had a death candle it broke under 333 it failed the bounce and the trend changed whereas you know IMUX was weak but the trend changed to the upside so in the markets guys recognize that you could have a bias on stocks you could have an idea on stocks you could have a thesis on stocks but until price action proves your thesis it's irrelevant so SOBR was an ignore ignore it went from 295 to 375 ignore ignore ignore but wait when 333 broke when it had a death candle now it's not an ignore anymore now it's a short because the trend has changed so as a short-buy trader our job is honestly just to keep it really simple as I'm looking for a death candle as soon as I see a death candle I'm shorting it that's it that's it that's the million dollar strategy that's it okay that's my signal when I see that death candle that's my fucking signal okay so I'm just waiting for that signal non-stop non-stop and I'm shorting the bounce and if it reclaims that death candle I'm out that's pretty much it right so I'm just waiting for that signal guys what is my signal what is that signal that's telling me the trend has changed whereas that's that's a that's a short buy signal what's a long buy signal a long buy signal would be hey this stock is holding above VWAP at zombie time this stock is strong this stock is this stock is just holding up it's freaking holding up bro that's it that's all I'm looking for as a long buy trader look for stocks that are holding above VWAP past 1030 as a short buy trader look for stocks that are breaking down that's it short the goddamn bounce SOBR we identified 333 is the line it death candle that's my mistake for not taking that shit right but that's pretty much it I mean I don't know what else to say I mean I'm excited for you guys to see these live trades I'm excited for you guys to see because what you're gonna see on these live trades that I record is once a death candle comes in once the signal comes in I am attacking okay you're gonna see me make it on a hundred fifty thousand dollar trade you're gonna see me make it on a sixty thousand dollar trade you're gonna see me make it on a ten thousand dollar trade I have so many different examples recorded for you guys to learn from so this is what's gonna make MIC 2.0 this is MIC 2.0 going forward is live trades day trading lifestyle and the same educational boring videos for all you guys I want to learn how to make money so I'm excited be on the lookout for the live trading video either this week or next week and be on the lookout for the first episode of the vlog either this week or next week so thanks guys I'll see you later and I'm gonna get back to helping members
