 I mean, I've been doing this thing for like two decades, guys, I used to just just mess up on purpose. I'm not joking, man, because I was so bored, I was like, okay, let me see if I can fuck around with this stuff, just to push it around. It's got, you know, making money, guys, actually, it's very boring, very systematic. So as human beings, we like to be in the action all the time, but that's how we get in trouble. I mean, how often do you lose hundreds, if not thousands every day, just bleeding because of entertainment, right, guys? And that's because we're bored in life. That's because trading has, you know, you do this for a while, guys, as with any job. Trading is a job. You may love what we do, but it's still, at the end of the day, it's a job. And I guess it's boring. Every job gets boring. I don't care what it is. We're very blessed to do what we do, but it's still a monotonous job. If we do our jobs right, it's boring as hell, guys, right? If you are a robot, it's boring as hell. And so how do you fix your mind so that you can continue to keep doing what you love but not get burnt out? This is the struggle that Alex and I have been doing for a long time. It's kind of like we love what we do, but then we get so burnt out because we devote everything, every time, every free time. We're passionate about what we do. I am there at night, and then after hours, Alex wakes up super early. So I'm on the West Coast, Alex is on the East Coast. And so, you know, we pretty much have 24 hours coverage, right? Alex wakes up at 5 a.m. over there, which is, geez, like 2 a.m. where I am, then when I go to sleep, he wakes up sometimes, right? So how do you not get burnt out? Making money, I'm telling you guys right now, making money is not that difficult. It's not that difficult if you have a discipline. Imagine if I told you, guys, if you want to become a millionaire, go to law school. Go become a doctor. Go become an engineer and work for a startup that's going to give you stock options. I have a lot of friends that work for startups and now they're very rich. But that takes time, right? That takes a lot of energy, a lot of work. So it's easy only if you have the discipline to do it. So if you have the discipline, you can do anything you want to do. So apply that to trading, guys. I don't think there's any other profession in the world where you can make as much as you make in one hour, like Alex and I. I mean, today I made a few thousand bucks and I'm like, I'm pissed. You know, I gave up a thousand bucks, just kind of messing around because it's not enough. Every day is not enough money because I'm sitting around on board all day. And so we're trying to find things which excite me so that I don't end up treating my profession, treating my job, which trading is. Trading education is my job. Treating as entertainment. So you have to distinguish between entertainment and a career. So that's the first step, guys. So the first step I want you guys to go back and think about is, OK, am I trading? Do I want to trade for a profession or for entertainment? It's like going to Vegas. You know, I go to Vegas to gamble for entertainment. If you think you're there to make money, you're fucking wrong. Because, you know, the edge of the house is way stacked against you. But, you know, if you go for entertainment, you know it's for fun. You're not going to put your life savings on. It's the people that can distinguish the two. They want to go make money. That's the people that lose money. Same thing with trading, guys. OK, I am trading right now for entertainment. And sometimes that's the problem. And that's why I fuck up. I lose. I don't really give a damn because the money I lose is insignificant to me because I've made enough money where, you know, even losing a thousand bucks, 1500, 500 bucks, 200 bucks a day, bleeding my gains away. It doesn't really affect my life. It sucks when I think about it. If I add it up and go, dude, I'm losing like probably 100 grand a year off of entertainment, of sticking around and saying, oh, OK, I only lost 500 bucks, $1,000 back, right? But if you add that up, $500 every day is someone's income. So the first thing you have to understand with trading is this. Are you doing this for entertainment, gambling, or you want to really make it work? The moment I found out that, hey, I can actually do this for a living, which is a profession, right? I'm doing this as my career. That was that is the time that I started to actually study, not gamble and work my ass off. There was a point in my life. There was a point in my life where I didn't take a vacation for like two, three years, not a single day off, guys, for years. So I was so and I dressed like shit. I didn't go shopping. All my money I made went right back into the markets. I'm trying to build my bankroll. OK, and I'm going to recap how I started the same thing. So I was an engineer. I made decent money as an engineer, but I hated what I did. I was very good. I was so passionate. But then when you reach it, when you reach a certain level, it's kind of like, OK, what do you have to do next? I didn't want to work any harder. And so they and so I start, you know, I started to learn to day trade. And I loved day trading and I started day training and I started losing money because I thought it was entertainment. The moment I realized that, hey, I can actually beat the system and I can make money pretty much every single day is only when I fuck up that give back all my gains. So I would. So in the beginning, the hardest thing to the hardest hurdle overcome as a day trader, guys, is make money for five days straight. And then the next day you lose all of it back and then more. How often that happened. And that pretty much I figured out the secret of day trading is risk management in life and everything's risk management. You can go part of your ass off, OK, drink as much as you want. But you have to have risk management of your life. If you over drink, you will get too drunk. You get DUI and all that shit. Same thing with training. There's a limit to everything. So when you go out, you have to put the risk parameters in. I know I will get silly drunk, so I don't drive. I take an Uber. But should I ban these guys? Here, I'm going to ban these guys. And anybody that speaks in like these weird Iranian or Arabic, I'm going to block them all. Hide. I don't know if they're real or not, but I'm just going to hide them. So all these weird things. So. So in life, guys, you always have to risk management. If you want to go out on a weekday knowing that you will go to work tomorrow, you have to set your stop loss, go home. That's your stop loss. Let's say you don't go home. OK, because people cancel their stop loss. I have another drink. And so you pay the price. If you if you cancel your your risk management just like in stocks and you defeat the system, you're going to lose. I have one more drink. I just messed up my stop loss of my life, right? So now, fuck, I'm going to have only three hours of sleep. So in trading, guys, this is the thing I never knew existed, right? Until until M.I.C. Is max daily loss set at the broker level. That is what saves everybody's account right now, guys at M.I.C. And this is something that no other service will ever tell you. They don't know the shit. Other services don't believe in stop losses. They don't believe in some other service calls it training wheels. That's so fucked up, right? Training wheels. But everybody has a bad day, guys. When you have a bad day, they do not make it a life ender. Just like when you get drunk, when you get drunk, don't fucking get DUI. Don't end up in the hospital and kill someone. So you have to mitigate your risk so that you don't end up there. Stop losses are fine. You get you people break that. But you need a fence to stop you from killing yourself because we're all humans. If we can get away with it, we will get away with it. OK, I'm going to start blocking all these guys. What are they saying, by the way? Is anybody can read this stuff? So stop losses. Once again, you set your stop loss just like your life. OK, meaning like, OK, I'm going to have a DUI. So a hard stop for me is is not driving. But you know what? Not driving, but I can still get drunk and then pass out and die somewhere. So you always need to have a max daily loss on your life. And that's where a tab comes in, guys. I'm telling you right now, I know that I mean Alex been trying to figure out how to prevent people from blowing up all these years, right? And we came up with stop stop losses, which OK, people use that. But the main thing, there's two things, guys. There is a technical. Technical, like the law, like I, man, I would go and people would go steal, not me, but people go steal and rob you unless there was a policeman. So that is like having a a max daily loss. The broker, you tell the broker, I do not want to lose more than $500 today every day. That's like telling the police, OK, you break the law, you go jail. So but at the end of the day, you can still get away with it. You know, there's many ways to circumvent that. You can call them up. You can do whatever. So the way to combat human emotions is to get a tab. Trading accountability, buddy. So Alex and I, we check up on each other. If I go quiet, Alex knows, you know what? But you know, sometimes I still lie to Alex and say, I'm doing fine, but I'm stuck in the stock of trading a zombie or things like that. So you have to know yourself. And so a way to trick that. So one of our moderators, his name is on, he's a doctor. He's a freaking smart guy, but he has disciplinary problems. He disciplined because he makes so much money being a doctor. It's just like our other doctor guy, Vic, there is no self control. And so he would make money and lose money back because he trained zombie are being rules. So he implemented like now his wife is involved. His wife is now his cab. His wife calls him up a zombie and what the hell are you doing? You better not be fucking trading. And so he implemented another one, Max, they lost, which he has. But Max, they lost would be. He tells the secretary physically come and pull the cable out of my computer because I cannot help myself. I am a junkie. I cannot help myself. And based upon just those simple things, he is they are both so fucking profitable now. Because they have figured out what their issues are that prevents them becoming successful. And I'm telling you, this is trading mirrors life. Okay, if you're partying too much, drinking too much, you need to figure out how to prevent you from even getting there. So an example is this, before you blow up during zombie hours, you should be trading during zombie hours. How do you prevent that? You prevent that by pulling the cable out of your computer, having someone physically come and take the cable so you cannot trade. Don't install the app on your phone, things like that. So you need to do preventative measures, guys. I'm telling you right now. And our tab program is so successful, there are big, big prof firms now copying our model. I don't need to tell you the names, but it was during the traders were caught. And when I heard that, like, you know what, man, that's pretty cool. We have done something that the big trading world has taken notice and is applying. Same thing with the zombie role. So a bunch of little mystic kids, like Alex and I created great programs like the tab and the zombie role. Now everyone's using it, you know? And so in trading, guys, in trading, it mirrors life. And I'm telling you right now, discipline is the number one reason where why people become successful in life as well as trading. It's not because how smart you are. People think it's always about being smart. It's not about being smart, guys. If I'm having a routine, every successful person has a daily routine. They don't wake up and wing it. They're very regiment driven, okay? So just like the army, if you have a disciplinary issues, maybe sometimes you have to sign up for the military service. They will teach you discipline, okay? And so that's the first step in life, guys. I'm telling you right now, before you become a successful trader, I always tell everybody this, get your life in order. If your life is in chaos, so will your trade to be in chaos. So, I mean, sometimes you have to move away from a bad situation. Sometimes, I'm saying, if you're friends, so I'm moving because I want to surround myself with different types of environment. So the last place I lived at, it was a really great place, but it was known as a trap house, meaning the building itself was known to be one of the biggest drug dealing buildings out there. People selling weed. There were three guys who were shot. I saw blood on the elevator. If you remember a few years ago, Alex, there was a SWAT team that came to my apartment looking for the fucking shooters. It's insane, dude. A SWAT team surrounded our building. And this is the most luxury high-rise building in Southern California, too. But it was dominated by a bunch of drug dealers. I was like, how can anybody afford it down there? So I moved now to this environment where the people here actually have jobs and money or whatever the hell it may be. So sometimes you have to physically move yourself from the party situation if you want. They're still partying here, but it's not where I live, you know what I'm saying? But we're there basically where I live. There's all these drug dealers and all that stuff, which is exciting at the time, but it doesn't really help me for my own career and my own sanity. Let me scroll through these. There's a lot of these. I'm gonna hide. If you're typing in Sanskrit or whatever, I'm just, because I don't know if they're a bot. Most of these are bots, guys. So let me show you around. Let me show you around. Some of you probably can figure out where this is. I don't really care nowadays because it's super high security here. So I moved to a very secure building now and right by the, this is pretty cool. So yeah, if you know where I live, keep it to yourself. Know what's that? Sanskrit. Is that what they call Sanskrit? I don't know. Is it Farsi or what's the language? Yeah, have you got, okay, I'll give you a little advice, guys. I'm gonna give you a little advice on etiquette. If you know where people live, don't dox them. Don't tell people where they live. Don't ask people where they live. Don't say that, hey, man, I'm right next door. Can I come over and hang out with you when I don't know you? Things like that, guys. Yeah, almost fell in the pool. So these are just kind of like motivation for me, guys. Seriously, I get so bored doing the same thing. So I'm like, dude, I'm gonna just try moving to a new place just to see. So the first step, guys, I'm telling you, man, you're like Alex said yesterday on his IG Live, your office is your sanctuary if you work from home. So I spend as much money as I possibly can afford without being stupid, obviously, on places I live, on my office, because dude, I worked at home, Alex works at home, we're at home pretty much like 20 hours a day, right, guys? Yeah, Alex, I'm just, I'm something new, man. You know, I've been doing this thing for a long time, man. And to be honest, I've sacrificed my entire life for other people, and I never really lived where I wanna live. So I'm like, dude, I'm pretty frugal, actually. Besides, I'm frugal on myself as you know, but I'm very generous to everybody else. So sometimes, you know what, man, you have to basically live life for yourself at some point, but I deserve this now, it's different, you know? This is like, I've done what I need to do, I'm still helping people, and I believe in karma. If you do good, good things will happen to you, guys. I'm telling you, man, me and Alex is a success story in terms of, you don't have to be an asshole to get ahead in life. You know, you don't have to be an asshole to be successful. You don't have to be an asshole to make money. You can still be a good person, get fucked over. And you know what, man, my philosophy is, if you fuck me over, that's your loss, and I hope you fuck me over early, then later. My friends, my God, man, you imagine like, before MIC, man, I would have never started MIC unless some people, but it doesn't matter. My point being is like, you know what man, things happen for a reason. People come together, Alex and I and Tosh and everybody else. So, you know, we build a great community where, you know, who's in MIC? Tell everybody how it's a community. I mean, I'm not here to sell anymore. We don't have a monthly option anymore, guys, so there's nothing to sell. But if you want to join as an annual, hit up Tosh, guys, hit up Tosh. We really don't need any more people, actually. We are turning people away. People want to join as a monthly. We say no, go somewhere else. And today I'll give you an example. Today someone paid, we found out they joined today. There was the last person that joined as a monthly when we cut it off on the $99 special, no less. And then they asked a question, Alex responded. Alex and I responded, he goes, oh my God, you reply to us. You reply to my question in main chat so quickly. And he's surprised, like, why are you surprised? Were other services that you joined in no reply? He goes, nah, dude, and I found out, we found out that he paid $1,500, $1,500 for three months at some other service that did not reply to him. He goes, dude, it's horrible. You guys are, and all he paid was $99 for the first month, guys. He got in on the last special, so now we don't sell those monthlys because to be honest, like, dude, this is not a money grab, guys. We want people to learn, and annual is actually a better deal that we had before. We raised our prices on purpose so that it filters out people. At the same time, it's like, dude, we're looking at these other competition and I think they're paying $1,500 for three months because they think it's better because it costs more. Think about it, you go to a store and you see two items and you're like, hmm, let's say you're looking for cleaning products and there's two cleaning products and you have no clue what they do, but one is only 50 cents more. And you're like, hmm, this must be better. It's 50 cents or a dollar more. It must be better. So you end up buying that product even though both of them work exactly the same. So that's just the human mentality. It's the weirdest thing, but we are tired of being the person that they paid $1,500 to for three months and then they have a lousy experience and they come to us after they lose their money. So you, I'm telling you guys right now, man, you guys are, the guys that are not in a current service are very lucky. You're not learning bad habits, all that. And if you wanna join, you're gonna have to join as an annual person through Tosh, okay guys? We raise our price significantly, but maybe Tosh will give you a discount today since we're doing the IG live and stuff. So hit up Tosh, man. If you don't know how to hit up Tosh, go to the website, myinvestingclub.com. So, yeah, dude, I mean, Amos, he's been around for, hey, let me bring on Amos, man. You're like one of the original OGs, man. I told Amos, man. He's original OG back in the day. And it was a long time, he's been a member for a long time, man. I'm trying to bring on Amos here. I hope he works. All right. Whoa, Val. Brother. What's up, man? Can you hear me? Yeah, dude, it's been like at least three years, right? It's been three years, yeah. It's been a while. It's been a while. Dude, last time we saw you was at the club. I saw you at the club and, where was that, dude? Brooklyn Mirage. Oh, dude. Oh my goodness. I stopped clothing. I stopped partying and drinking. So it's been a long time, but I remember that day. So tell everybody who you are and how's it going, man? Because, I mean, you've been a long time member, man. You went through a lot of hardships and stuff, right? So I hope things are better. Yeah, yeah. So I joined MIC when you guys first started, I think in 2017 or 2018 when you guys first started. I wasn't very successful back then. I didn't have a job and I thought MIC in training was gonna be like my saving grace out. But then I remember you had like a life coaching video and then you talked about how it's probably better that I get my life in order first. I take care of my family. I take care of myself. I take care of, do what I gotta do first and then you guys are always gonna be here. So don't worry. Trading's always gonna be here. So yeah, that's exactly what I did. I mean, I heard that like before, but then from other people, but then like coming from you it just like I felt it more in my heart. So I did that. I got my resume. I applied to a bunch of different banks. And then I started working at Bank of America. I got a job there. I worked there for about 10 months. I just saved up like all my money. I took care of my mom, my dad. Awesome. Are you still working there? No, no, I quit. I'm full-time day trading now. This is my full-time day trading. Oh, you took a big leave, but that was good. You know what Amos, you did well. A lot of people think that trading will save their life. Whatever issues they have, it will save their life. But when your life is in chaos, your trades will be in chaos. So you did exactly right. So Amos took a few months off and he got a job and dude, he's a totally different person now. He stopped, he stopped partying. He stopped jigging. You were raving like every week, bro. Oh my goodness. Yeah, I don't know how I'm gonna keep up with you at the next meetup. Because like, oh my God, my face gets red, I get Asian flush, so I might just get water. I'm slowing down. Okay, so tell us. So this is what people really wanna know, okay? Because I'm telling you, you're the extreme case. You just quit your job. And well, you made enough money where you took care of your personal issues, right? Yeah, yeah, I would say so. And so how is it trading now that you are, dude, because trading without a job, when you're starting out, it's very difficult and stressful, right? Yeah. So tell us how you make it work. Are you living with your parents? I live with my parents, yeah, thank God. I live with my parents, so I'm still, man, I don't gotta pay rent or anything. But I would say how I did it was, I never did paper trading. I just started small, like small size. I would do like 10 shares, 20 shares. That's good. Yeah, and then like, like what you guys say every day, you don't have to trade every day, just watch price action, just sitting in front of the screen. Read Alex's watch list, read Tom's watch list, and then just really just read the main chat commentary and take notes, go search up anything I don't know in the video library. After that, then maybe, then I can start DMing any of the mods to ask them questions or post it in after hours. If I'm not sure what's going on. So yeah, that's basically how I did it. And then I just, I stuck to what I knew would be most consistent. So I just stuck to low hanging fruit. Oh, so you're shorting low hanging fruit? Yeah, yeah. That's good. You're avoiding the day one low float boost there, right? Yeah, yeah, I lost, oh my God, I lost so much money shorting front side day one in the beginning. And then also going long, oh man that was, I stopped doing that and I just stuck to low hanging fruit for day two. So how are you trading now by limiting all of the risky trade? Are you consistently profitable now? I would say so for now, knock on wood for now, you know, so I did what you guys said. During zombie hours, I stopped trading or like I will size down to maybe like one-tenth size. You know, anything's there, set a max daily loss. I use, what is it called? Like market stop loss, like trigger orders. So every time I set a fantasy limit order, automatically my market stop loss goes in with that. Dude, that is awesome. You see guys, he create a system where he's not gonna blow up anymore because it's automatically has a stop loss in there. Yeah, yeah. So I don't even have to think about it because I know me, I think Harry said on one of his videos, like he's really stubborn. And then I'm like really, really stubborn too. And I need to admit that. But like, it just sucks. So, because I would take so many losses and I would never stop out. I would always be like, okay, at the next line, let's see what happens at the next line. And then I'd say, you always think like, you always think like, hey, this is it, this is it, this is gonna pay off. And then next, you know, like, oh my gosh, he's just taking the loss like an hour ago. Are you using, you have a max day loss set of the broker? Yeah, yeah, I recently just switched over to Cobra and I'm really excited, really happy to be with them. So that's awesome, man. So you're doing all the right things that we taught you. Basically the risk management was the key difference, right? The key difference maker is the risk management. That was the risk management is like, I think it's like game changing as a trader because no one really, some people talk about it, but they just don't emphasize it as much as you do. They don't know how to, I'm telling you. Because you know what man, the guys that in my opinion, anybody don't talk about risk management, I guarantee you they're not a good trader, they're not a successful long-term trader because they're weighing it, gambling. I mean, if you talk to every trader who's been trading for 10 years, the key is to not blow up, like not like one bad loss, wipe out everything. And that's why Alex and I keep a small balance in our account. You know what I mean? Even at my level, our level, doesn't matter what level, we from time to time fuck up. Yeah. And when we fuck up, man, I don't wanna be fucking up with a million-dollar account, right? So, seriously, I don't know how some people are able to have like so much discipline in self-control trading, that much money, that much size account, because I know if I had that in my account, it'd probably be a nightmare. And my own trading would probably suffer as a result of that. So I'm like, I'm just more comfortable trading, like much smaller size, much smaller account. And yeah, I think I'm really happy with where I'm at and just being a part of the community. Like everyone in the community is really helpful. Like if you post something in after hours or you DM someone, they get back to you right away. So it's just great. Okay, so the recap, man. This is a true success story. I'm telling you that, Amos, I was rude for you, but I didn't know you were gonna make it, bro. Because you know what, man, you had so much stuff going on in your personal life that I'm like, dude, you have to take care of your personal life because it's gonna translate. So I'm telling everybody out there right now, guys, a part of the, to be a good trader, you have to, your mind has to be at ease, right? You have to not worry about, if you have to worry about paying the rent, you are gonna force trades and you're gonna have to trade correctly because you're scared, you're gonna force it, the rent is due. So Amos did a great thing, move home, stay at home, no rent. So if you're serious about trading, guys, you reduce your spending per month so that you don't have like stresses from paying bills. So there's two ways to do it. Okay, if you want to start trading, guys. Number one, which is I recommend to most people is to have a job. Have a job which supplements your trading so that you don't have to worry about it during the time you learn. Amos was fortunate he has a family that he can move into so that you don't have to pay rent, things like that. And so, but Amos did, what he did was he went back to work to save every single penny so that he can live his dream now. And now that he worked so hard for three years, man, to make this happen, he decided, I'm not going to fuck up again. I'm going to use hard stops. I'm going to listen to risk management. I'm going to put the fences like I told you, right? So it's kind of like a guy that's driving it and go, I do not want another DUI, things like that. Because all traders, guys, have DUI, not a DUI metaphor, they blew up before, okay? In life, a DUI like you, if you had a DUI in life, you pretty much blew up, you know what I'm saying? You could kill kids, you're fucked, man. A lot of jobs won't even hire you if you have a DUI, because that's just that discipline, right? And so, and if you have a DUI, you cannot go to Canada for 12 years, Japan, things like that. A lot of countries do not want people like that. And so, you screw up your life significantly by having a DUI. So I use that as an example. It's okay to fuck up one time serious like that, but if you do it again, guys, it's kind of, so Amos, dude, I'm very fucking happy and proud of you that you changed your life around. This is a good success story, but guys, the last time I saw Amos was at 3 a.m. at a rave club, we were all fucked up, Alex was there, Kostas there, and we turned around, is that Amos? This is true, this is true, yep, yep. And you know what, man, you're absolutely proud, you bro. You came with fucking such a long fucking way, man. And so, why is your, do you have a tab? How do you plan to keep going and progressing? What's your plan now that you've got here? I don't have a tab per se, but whenever I need to talk to someone, I just DM them in chat, so I guess I could use a tab or be a part of a tab group. I guess the plan, like my mindset, when I thought about it, I listened to what Alex said and what you said as well. It's like, I'm okay with investing, a year, two years, three years to study my ass off and just work really hard, and then pretty much the rest of my life will be like, it'll be great, it'll be, I'll have everything I wanted, I'll be able to take care of my family, my friends. That's just how I look at it. You notice how now it's not difficult to make a few hundred bucks, right? The difficulty is being okay with making just two dollars. Yeah. Right? You're like, I'm up 200, I'm up 500, I'm up 500, I'm up 1,000. Yeah, yeah. And then you're like, oh shit, I should just stop. Yeah, and being like, just like stupid, like when I know I should take a loss and then I keep adding to a loser, I'm not cutting it, that's one of the things that I'm trying to work on right now. Good. Man, it's like, I know to do it, to cut my losers and not keep adding, not keep scaling, and then only add to a winner, but then when it actually comes time to do it, I'm like, wow, this is pretty tough to execute in real time while trading, so. Yeah, it's the mental discipline. This is why I'm trying to figure out, you're using the hard stops, which is great, the finger orders are awesome. Maybe now, maybe you're ready for a tap. Who knows? You know what doesn't hurt? I'm telling everybody out there, okay? You find a tab, a tab could be your friend, like it becomes your trading partner or your friend in the club, right? If you don't like your tab or you don't get along or it doesn't work out for you, find a new tab, there's nothing wrong with that. This is not like a marriage where you're a fucker. So, it's like, look at me, marriage, you can have as many as you want. And so it's all the time, the tab, I find that more eyes are better than one because what happens in the morning, Alex and I, we share a list of what stocks, which goes on the watch list anyways, but then there's plays that I see that he doesn't see and vice versa. And so sometimes it's good. And then you share, so part of the tab, all I need to know is, okay, what stocks, what stocks looks good to you? Make sense? And so if a stock looks good to me, but doesn't look good to Alex, I'm gonna find out why. And I'm like, oh my God, you're right, man. I didn't realize it was low flow. I didn't realize it was this, right? And then, and also, so, and also, okay, now that we decided on the same plays, what are the lines? So then you run back and put, oh, this is a lot, oh, I didn't see this, I didn't see that. I'm too early, things like that. So having a tab actually helps you with your process to make sure that you are doing the steps that you should be doing as well, not skipping steps, because you are responsible for one another. So in all my years, I'm telling you right now, man, trading a loan is the most boring, lonely thing. And you screw up because you, there's the saying, it's like, idle hands are the devil's playground. Idle hands are the devil's playground, which means like when you're bored, what should I do? I'm gonna drink. I'm gonna go party, you know? With trades, it's bad. What am I gonna do? Oh, I'm gonna nibble here. I was just gonna say like, that's one of the things when I saw it during the boot camp this year, was that when you and Alex were trading together, it just like, it was a lot of fun, like being on that boot camp like, it just looked like you guys were having a great time. And I'm like, no wonder these guys, I'm ready to get on Wall Street bets and are all like trying to go to the moon because like, I don't know, it's just like- They wanna feel like they're part of a community and all that because you know, so our CHAB program, it's so, we are the first to start it and it's so fucking awesome where, I'm very proud, Alex, that one of the biggest, the prop trade out there is using, they call it something different, but they launched it during a trade-off in the closet. So it works guys. You know, so, Alex, who is the new TAB manager? How can people in MIC get a TAB? Because Winnie is the manager, but I think it's too much work. So, you know, I don't blame Winnie, man. It's a lot of work. We now have thousands of people, so. Yeah. So if you want a TAB guys, how does one get a TAB, Alex, at MIC? There's a, I think there's a trading accountability buddy channel that you can say I'm looking for a TAB, or you can just post it into after hours. I'm pretty sure someone, now that people see you, Amos, on this, they're gonna be wanting a TAB, man. Tell you, tell you. Sounds good. I'm like, I'm pretty much in chat throughout the day, pre-market at the open, and then I'll stick around for after hours. So yeah, like if anyone ever needs to like hand me up, you could just send me a DM, and then usually I'll. Yep, we have the trading accountability channel as well. But even on top of trading, I mean, have you noticed that being in chat, I'm telling you, man, you now, it's like, we used to be bored. That's why we drink, right? We drink, we party, we're bored. Now you're like, okay, at least I law about the MIC. I can see what's going on, right? And people will talk to you. Yeah. For me, that's been a life changer guys, seriously, man. Because I'm like, without these IG lives, without just little poppings, hey, what's up? Sharing funny memes, or jokes, or daily inspiration, you know? It's kind of like, dude. And so, the next step is- It's just good people, good energy, and MICs, so yeah. Hey, Amos, we'll do this, man. I'll do this. If you want to throw a meetup where you are, New York, Brooklyn, wherever you live, where do you live? Over in New York somewhere, right? Yeah, yeah, I'm in Queens, but yeah, Manhattan, Brooklyn, anywhere around, New Jersey. Hey, man, don't, send the meetup. And we'll sponsor it, man. You know, beers and pizza, wherever you want to do. You know, I want you to meet people from New York as well, because it's a lonely existence, man. And the best, so I told this earlier in the IG live, you want to surround yourself with the people that you want to kind of become, right? If you hang out with a bunch of party animals, then you have no choice, right? So, I go party, but I go. I don't want the party to come back to my house every day, right? So, things like that. And so, you're doing very good in your life, man. I don't want you to go back to that lifestyle. That's what I'm saying. If you want to meet, if you want to meet nice people like yourself that is goal oriented, I just, the best place to meet it is with an MIC, throw a meetup, meet them in person, see them get lost. And then, all you guys out there, guys, everybody is in the MIC. I want to throw a meetup. We will sponsor it in your community, okay? So, set up what you need to set up and hit up, meet myself and Alex, okay? If you want to throw it, whatever you want, man. Just say, hey, man, we will help you promote it, you know, because we can't be over in New York all the time, Alex is here and there. If he has time, he'll go, but sometimes he doesn't. So, it's okay for members. And we want members to throw these events and MIC will sponsor it. So, keep that in mind, my friend. Maybe I can host it at 235th rooftop as usual. Like, that's it. Yeah. Do it, bro. You guys usually do that, so, yeah. Let's do it. So, it's something fun for you, man. I mean, the weather now is getting decent in New York, I think. So, you've got to use it before the winter comes. Are you going to hibernate, man? Yeah, yeah, definitely before the winter, for sure. Yep, and we're going to do one in LA soon too, so before the winter comes. Hey, man, thanks, Amos. Any last words for anybody out there? Any encouraging, you know, because you've been there, man. You are a true fucking success story. The only thing I would say is that if you're going through like a bad situation in life, look at it as a way to like grow and find strength in that bad situation. Because, you know what, if you can make it through that, then trading should be easy for you, you know. Like, if you can handle some type of terrible, you know, like someone dies in your family, where you go through some, just some bad situation in life, like the pandemic, 2020, if you can make it through that, then, you know, trading, keeping your discipline, keeping your risk management, that should be no problem for you. Yep, and I remember, Amos, you were going through some tough times with your friends and personal, remember, you DM me as well. So, I mean, this is the comedian. You respond to it, sir. Yeah, so I mean, and this is what it is, man, because sometimes I need to vent. So I reach out, you know, I talk, you see me, man. No, I'm stupid too, you know, we're all family here, right, guys? I get joy, I take stupid shit. But you know what, man, that's what life is about, you know, having the people that you trust. And so, I'm telling you, man, if you're, if you haven't, trading has changed my life. Not, I'm not talking about financial, the people that I've met, being able to, you know, do this, so I met people like yourself, which is part of me every day, man. Every day, I see, I'm like, oh, man, look at Amos, man. Okay, I remember how we were back then too, bro, so. Hey, man, keep it up, anything you need, let us know, man. Thank you, that's freaking awesome. You guys are the best. Thank you so much. Hey, hey, hit it, hit it, Oliver, you gave yourself a swag, I'll give you 100 bucks of swag, so you can wear it all over and fucking Queen, bro. Sounds good, sounds good. Thank you, guys. All right, thanks, man. All right. Thanks, Amos. See you later. All right, guys, that was good. So this is a great, next week we'll do the same. So basically today's, today's moral, the story is this, guys, surround yourself with the types of people you want to become. If you're hanging out with a bunch of people that just party, don't have their stuff together, you can still party, but that should not be your main set of people you hang out with every single day. If you want to become like a serious trader or just anything in life that doesn't, you surround yourself with that. So with MIC, you surround yourself with the type of character that you want. If you want to pump and dump, you join the discord room, that's fine. That is the person you want to surround yourself. You want to surround yourself with a bunch of braggers and look at my car. I mean, things like that. You don't see us talking about our luxury cars and stuff, but it's okay. There's nothing wrong in life. My point being is like, the point of this is, this is how you get to become the person you want to become, guys. You surround yourself in that environment. If you want to become a day trader, surround yourself with day traders. So these guys that are not in chat rooms, so they think I don't need anything from any chat room, the chat room itself, it may not necessarily teach you the technicals, but you surround yourself every day in that environment. You eventually buy osmosis. And look at that word, osmosis. You become that individual. If you hang out with a bunch of bodybuilders, you will start going to the gym. If you hang out a bunch of fat pigs like me, you hang out being peaked every day. But you'll be a great trader or a great human being, things like that. If you hang out with a bunch of priests, you're gonna become more religious. So you surround yourself with a person that you want to surround yourself with, guys. And that, to me, is the first step. Amos did that. When I first, remember, Alex met, we saw him at the club. He was drinking, was partying, all that stuff. And it was like 3 a.m. and he had his old life. He thought training was the cure to his problems. It was not. He needs to handle certain things in his life. He went back and got a job at Bank of America, saved up money and now he's in a good place. And that's what everybody should do, guys. Everybody should, you know what man, training is not the cure all, okay? But if you want to trade, that is your goal so that you can have a motivation to get to that goal. Amos' goal was to be able to become a day trader. So he sat down that in order to become a day trader, I need to get a job. I need to stop drinking. I need to stop partying with those guys. Tom Diesel wanted to become a day trader. So badly. He had $700 in his account. He could not afford it. So what he did was he drove an Uber at night so he could day trade in the morning. He drove an Uber, okay? Making $100, whatever, he made 50 bucks. He saved every single penny so that he can become a day trader. And now he's, Tom is a true successor from $700. I remember now he bought a house. He's a vacation. You know, it's, you basically, you, I call it life by design, guys. That is the mode. That is what basically you should always think in your head, life by design. I design my own life. How do you want to live your life, guys? It's okay to have a day job. I'm not saying anything. You can still have MSP for free by going to YouTube, watching these videos and be motivated. Not everybody needs to be a day trader. Not everybody needs to be a full-time day trader. You can have a job. My advice for most people out there, stick to your day job and trade. Because trading, you don't need to trade much. I always trade an hour. I mean, I made $3,000 a day in one hour. You know what I mean? But for me, I enjoy it. I teach people. So that's my life by design. My life by design is still that everybody just leaves me alone and just let me do what I love, which is teaching people to trade and trade. And so that's why I'm in the room all the time. I don't have to deal with any membership stuff. I don't know the price of MIC. To be honest, if you want to ask me how much is MIC pricing, go talk to Tosh. And so that's my life by design, guys. So the first step for you guys to do is sit down, think about what you really want to do in life and create a goal to get there. Don't just say, I want to become a day trader. There are 10 steps before that, 20 steps. First step, okay, how you have that money. Save the money, things like that, guys. You cannot become a day trader if you have no money. I'm sorry, you cannot trade with a dollar. So all right, guys, I'll see you on next installment, but this has been a very good first week back to the life coaching and trading. All right, guys, we'll see you back in the room. Go to the website, hit Tosh for information about membership. All right, guys, see ya.
