 Hey everybody, this is Giovanni from the options training channel Boy, it's been a long time since I've said those words and it's been a long time since I've actually made a video of any sort Any updates anything of that nature and I'm here to Give an update on you guys as to where I've been what I've been doing what I've been up to all my trials and failures and There's a lot to Update on you guys, but definitely it's probably gonna take a couple of videos So thank you everybody that has stuck around that have asked that have reached out and asked where I am what I'm doing I've apologized. I'll you know, I apologize if I haven't gotten back to you It's it's been a lot. It's been a lot to take in and What better than to just Say put it out there and say it say it's how it is and and Really, I've wanted to make a video for a really long time but it's been hard to come on camera and kind of confront the issue and Just just the problems that I've encountered. I haven't made any videos just because I've been so frustrated with just How things have gone in my trading career? Let me jump back a Year and a year and a half ago Very long story, but to give you sort of the nitty-gritty the meat of what's going on This wealthy individual that I met through some really close friends of mine I You can I consider that my brothers He wanted to have somebody Available to place certain trades for him and I got hired on to do that job for him It was a pretty sweet deal for me Then he gave me a lot of leeway so to speak On his own personal money to find a strategy that will produce Income on a regular basis whether it be weekly monthly. He didn't really care And that was really awesome. I can't tell you enough how awesome that opportunity was for me I was really excited about it and There was a lot of ups and downs Viewers and subscribers of my channel know that for a while we were doing naked options. We were doing we were selling naked options Let me tell you The percentage of Win-to-losses your your win-loss ratio is incredible there I would say about you would win 95% of your trades. Heck, I could even possibly even say statistically And I probably have that data At my disposal, but I want to say it was closer to 98 99 percent win Win rates you would win 98 percent of all your trades, but let me tell you that two percent That you would lose was a potential for losing Everything that you've made up until then and then some and then it's possible that you can lose everything in your account and possibly owe money and We never got into the situation where it was that bad Although we did get in a situation where we lost You know $40,000 in one trade in a matter of one day We made money we lost money Overall we did make a lot of Great trades and we learned a lot. I Want to tie that in with my mentor If you want guys, I can bring them on the channel I've talked to him many times. He knows that I have a YouTube channel and I've showed him a lot about my YouTube channel what it does what I do What type of information I share with all my viewers and subscribers and he would be interested in hopping on he's a very very intelligent Very knowledgeable very competent Trader he knows a lot about options and option theory Incredible mind to Pickets, you know picking his brain picking, you know, just Listening to the guy is very fascinating Comment down below guys if you want to you want me to interview him or bring him on on the channel and have him as a regular Comment down below if that's something that you would be interested in pretty interested how I've How I met him turns out that he's known my mother for a very long time again Comment down below if you want to hear that story. I'm not gonna take a whole lot of time and talk about those things, but He He I've learned a lot about him more than any other Educational video more than anything out there. I have learned so much from from him. His name is Adam by the way and Jika I can't say enough about about him as a trader as a friend. I talked to him each and every day Anyways, it was basically him and I working my investors money and In my last video, I gave you an update as to what happened very sad. I'm still trying to heal from That's and that's part of the reason why I haven't made any videos and I've stepped away from YouTube The other big deal is the the other big reason why I've been away from YouTube is I Felt like I didn't have any information to give you guys my subscribers Absolutely, mostly more importantly the main reason why I started YouTube channels. I wanted to be genuine I wanted to show the real live sort of View and perspective of a true Joe Schmoe trying to make it as a day trader. I I I'm just gonna say it and I'm not gonna, you know start calling people out I'll do that in a totally different time totally different video and I'll get there But I would say 99% of all youtubers that are trying to Make it as a youtuber anyways as a day trainer and pass themselves as a day trainer as a trader that made Money successfully. It's all BS. It's all crap They are at the end of the day. They're there for one reason one reason alone. It's for their pocketbook They're trying to sell you a service They're trying to get their YouTube views up to get that YouTube revenue. That's the only reason they don't have You as the viewer as a subscriber as the actual trader. They don't have your best interest in mind at heart and I just I want to be as genuine as I possibly can and Stepping away from YouTube and gave me an opportunity to kind of reflect and Really search for a true Strategy that works I have not found it yet. That's the main reason why I stopped making videos I got really frustrated with myself. I felt like if I started kept making videos I didn't have anything genuine to say. I didn't have true trades to come at you and show you but then I also Kept going I kept going Trying to find a strategy trying to find a strategy and I kind of realized I'm shooting myself in the foot I could have been making videos on Showing you what I'm doing. What is the thought process? What the future holds and I shot myself in the foot all this time over a year of not making any videos and I'm going to make myself a promise Before I make you a promise that I'm going to At least put out one video a week at least I'm going to try to find what day is best for me and my schedule because I do have a full-time job that I'm still working at But I'm I'm going to try to make that promise first and foremost to me before I Give you that promise Make that promise to you the viewer and the subscriber In the meantime my YouTube channel has grown very so slightly which I'm happy about It shows that there are people out there that are watching my my videos and they're actually subscribing to my video to my channel With that being said We we my my day trading partner Adam my mentor I'm just gonna call it my day trading partner We are on this Just we're we're focused. We're focused on putting a strategy together that actually works and It's not in the stock market sign in the New York Stock Exchange. It's actually in forex There's a couple of reasons Why we have turned to forex. I'm in the process of turning my LLC trading account Into not turning into a forex account, but having the ability to trade forex through TD Ameritrade If again comment down below if you want to see that process We already started that process. We're kind of just waiting on TD Ameritrade to approve all of our paperwork I should also note that I'm yes. I did start an LLC trading account Lots of benefits as to why I started an LLC trading account lots of pros lots of cons Definitely, there's it's not all good But the majority is good and that's why I I along with three other individuals That I consider my brothers We started an LLC account trading account. We all decided to pull our money together and try to figure the sounds It's mainly in and I don't I don't mean this in any kind of Disrespectful way, but it's mainly just me and my my big training partner Adam Adam isn't in the LLC He trades his own day trading account. He has his own money The three other individuals that I started this LLC account They're not necessarily in the picture as far as the trading. They were just they're just investors and It's basically just me Placing those trades trying to find a strategy that works That's what's going on right now. I gave you the very Like highlights as to what's happening. I missed a lot. Believe me. There's there's a lot of Little interesting details that I'm not giving you right now because I just want to make an update I want to come on camera and say hi to everybody Please everybody Comment down below Just say hi. Hey, how are you doing? Tell me what what have you guys been up to? Have you found a successful strategy? If you have or haven't I want to know about it. I want to know what you're into Give me an update on your guys's life But yes That is pretty much everything and that'll do it for today's video. I'm gonna try to be more diligent I'm gonna try to be more consistent I Have a lot of cool ideas. I've said that many times in my videos and I just never follow through But I'm just sick and tired of all these Just youtubers that are sucking the life out of actual day trading and giving you bogus information Information that you already know that you know is already bogus But you still watch it and hopes that it will help you, but you already know that it's not gonna work I did trade at one time with $500,000 a half a million dollars in the grand scheme of things. That's not a whole lot of money It's a hell of a lot more than I could have ever traded with at this stage and Believe me guys the things that I've learned is Incredible And one of the highlights even though that's you know, if you're struggling and you don't want to hear this You're looking for the holy grail. I kind of kind of came up to the conclusion that there is no holy grail In one strategy that one indicator that is absolutely going to gonna make you absolutely Rich become a millionaire become a billionaire Over a period of overnight Month a year or ten years. I've come up with that conclusion that that doesn't exist and But if you combine certain things It might actually come to Find out that there might be a way to actually survive off the stock market One one last thing just to give you an idea of what we are doing We're collecting a lot of data right now from thinkorswim Mainly in the one-hour chart and the daily chart We're trying to compile collect data over the last 10 years on 10 different strategies that we want to trade all at once in the forex markets with 10 to 15 pairs Forex pairs and in order to pull that data It's taking a lot of man hours that we have actually outsourced to somebody on fiverr I actually reached out to somebody on fiverr to help us pull data. We're paying a pretty penny for that data We're paying about 34 35 hundred dollars in order to collect that data in It's been a challenge. We're in the middle of it right now again comment down below If you want to know more about what we're doing what kind of data we're collecting everybody Thank you so much For sticking around.
