 with my super computer and everything. A small trip to Miami to stay for two weeks ended up me staying there for two months and two weeks. And I really just had to get the hell out of there. I missed my friends. I missed my family. I missed not partying every single day. I just needed a break from it. I needed to relax from it. So I decided to come back home. I wasn't really feeling too hot last week so I decided to take the week off from trading. I know Bao, Tosh and the other guys are kind of covering for me and posting for me. But it feels good to be back in Jersey. It feels good to be back here. Right now is when the snow is ending and the temperatures are about like 50 degrees-ish so it's kind of getting a little bit warmer. Spent a lot of money in Miami and I don't want to spend all that money anymore. I want to kind of focus on growing. At MIC, I want to kind of focus on exercising more. I kind of want to focus on just helping the members more and in Miami I had a lot of temptations to have fun and I pretty much got a year's worth of partying out of my system in two months. So I'm done partying. I'm done drinking. I kind of want to focus on getting my shit back together and here we are today. So being back in Jersey is actually really nice because I feel back at home, right? I feel like comfortable again. When I'm in Miami, I'm in a brand new state. I'm in a brand new place with brand new people and I pretty much sleep on the couch, right? So I slept on the couch for like two months, right? And you could say, yeah, you're making a million dollars a year. You could go fucking buy a bed and just throw it away after. But like, I don't know, I was just sleeping on the couch or whatever. So being back home and like having a bed, having somewhere to stay kind of just helped my mindset as well. So it's nice to be back here. I'm back in my morning routine of just like trading, working, exercising, questions, all this stuff. So anyway, feels good to be back and let's kind of talk about trading. So I always talk about in these Monday videos, what my process is like the day before I get to trading, right? So your process as a trader starts the day before you're trading. So today is Monday, right? Today is Monday, March 1st. So it's the first of the month as well. So my process for Monday always starts on Sunday. On Sunday, I make sure to not drink. On Sunday, I make sure to have an early dinner. On Sunday, I make sure to sleep early. On Sunday, I make sure that there's nothing in my life that is stressing me out because that'll pour into Monday. So I sleep early and I wake up early. And you know, my plan for today was just show up to the market, come back to my trading setup and just wait for these stocks to set up. So oftentimes you could tell by the title of this video, Mondays are really dangerous for traders. So I think it was early 2020 or late 2019. Mondays were my worst performing days in the stock market. I lost money every single Monday and I would have to crawl my way back on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to make back the money. And you know, what I realized after doing so many of these videos is that the reason why I would lose money on Mondays is because I'd be so excited over the weekend. You know, as traders, I posted a tweet today and said, if you don't wake up excited to get to work on Monday, you're in the wrong business. So as traders, you know, Mondays are favorite day of the week, right? Because we get to go back to work. You know, it's nice to have a day off on Saturday, but by the time Sunday comes wrong, we're like, is it Monday yet? So we love what we do. I think traders are truly passionate about trading. Monday is their favorite day of the week. So over the weekend, all we think about is, you know, what is the market gonna be like on Monday? Let's get back to it on Monday. I can't wait to trade on Monday. Let's make some fucking money on Monday. And what happens to me on Mondays is that, you know, I'm so excited to trade. I'm so excited to get back to it. I'm so excited to do what I love that I get in really, really early on these setups. I start shorting pre-market. I start adding size before confirmations. And I start finding myself stuck. And by the time the market opens, I'm already exhausted because I've burned all my capital, my mental capital, my mental stamina pre-market because I'm so excited to get to work, right? So something that I've recognized and I've tried to do is just kind of be more aware of this on Monday. So every single Monday, I try to remind the guys in the room, I try to remind the members that, you know, maybe your first entry, use less size. Cause what happens is your first entry is usually a FOMO entry. So if your normal size is like, say 500 shares as a starter, maybe on Mondays, your first entry on that first trade should be like 200 shares, right? And the reason why we do this is because we want to make sure that when we are trading on Mondays, that we are staying true to our process, right? Because what ends up happening is we're so excited that we end up getting in early. We break our process because we're trading based on our emotions. So I've implemented this in my trading, again, late 2019, early 2020. And now Mondays are just any normal day for me, you know? Knock on wood, I made money today. It wasn't anything crazy. You know, making $3,400 an hour is, it's good. You know, I'm not complaining. You know, it was like a month of work in a Starbucks that I would not be able to make that money. But in this current market environment, there's so much opportunity that you can be making $10,000 a day if you're doing it right. So coming into Monday, I always say that I'm looking for easy setups. I'm looking to take it slow. So we had something that I really liked today, which was GameStop. So if you guys have seen obviously in the news everywhere, everyone knows GameStop is a crazy stock. And you know what happened with that stock was it went from like $50 to $400. Everyone started talking about a $400 and everyone started buying it and it crashed down to $50, right? And in all my years of trading, seeing the stock that does that pump and dump style move, that FU style pattern of going straight up and then straight down, 99.9% of the time they do not bounce. For whatever reason, as crazy of a setup as GameStop was, it bounced on no reason, no news, air. It bounced all the way to $200, right? And to me, that's almost a dead cap bounce sympathy play. That's something that like, holy shit, like that's not gonna happen. I'm gonna short into that because all of those idiots that we're buying are probably gonna be buying more to average down. And when it doesn't reverse, it's gonna come straight crashing down. So Friday, that's exactly what happened. GameStop kind of bounced and went back down. So today, when the market is gapping up, you know, GameStop gapped up as well. So I wanted to take the same trade. In my opinion, sorry, I was getting a call, I just shut down that call. In my opinion, GameStop is not going back to $400. GameStop is not going back to $500. The fact that it went back to $200 is a gift. So in my opinion, guys, GameStop is a short on pop. So anytime it pops, I'm just waiting for it to get to the resistance lines and I'm shorting. So today in this morning's watch list, I mentioned to the members in the room that I'm looking for the 110 line. And the reason why I'm looking for the 110 line is because that's kind of where it topped out pre-market. So what ended up happening in the morning is we get a push towards 110 and then we crash down to 100. So all of a sudden I'm making $7 to $10 a share on like, I don't know, 400, 500 shares, nothing crazy because it was just a starter. And that's my day already, right? So today, the best trade of the day for me was GameStop low hanging fruit at the 110 line, which we pre-planned in this morning's watch list, right? So if you go to the watch list in MIC and I posted it on Instagram as well, instagram.com slash my investing club, you can see that our plan was to short 110 on GameStop. Okay, that was the first trade of the day. Now, what was the next trade of the day? That kind of was also something that we pre-planned. So OCGN, if you look at the chart of OCGN pre-market, it was around like 11, 20, 11, 30. And my plan in the watch list was that if it breaks and goes red, that we want to short that for a nail and bail trade. So pre-market, the stock broke red, went down a dollar a share and never came back. So all of a sudden you have GameStop from the 110 line that worked, OCGN from green to red that worked, and then E-Core was the last one. So E-Core was a stock that was ramping up pre-market that tanked, that tanked pre-market. And basically I wanted to use that $350, half dollar mark as a short because in this market personally, what I've been recognizing is the whole dollar marks, like $8, $9, $10, and the half dollar marks, $8, $50, $9, $50, $10, $50, are kind of the key resistance areas in this market cycle that we're having. So I like to use those all in half dollar marks. So today E-Core, it hits $363 and then tanked. So that's pretty close to the $350 line that we had drawn, right? So that was that. So three trades out of the watch list, those all three trades pretty much paid out money today. So now what happens next, right? So again, here we are on Monday, there's three trades that were in the watch list, the three trades that worked out. Now it's 10.30, what happens next? So either two things, either one, you made money today and you feel like you didn't make enough money, so you start pushing and pushing and you end up losing that money. And number two is you ended up making no money today, you saw no trades today, so you started forcing and now you're right on the day. So some things to remember on Mondays, guys, is stick to the rules. If you are up on the day before 10.30, shut off your computer and walk away. If you did not make money, if you were at net zero for the day and it's 10.30, shut off the computer and walk away, right? So these are the lessons that pretty much no one is gonna tell you. You know, you have to think of trading as the casino sometimes in the fashion that the longer you stay in front of the casino tables, the longer you stay in front of the computer screens, the more opportunity you have of the casino taking back your money. So for me, what I've recognized about my trading is that if I stay past 10.30, chances are nine out of 10 times, I'm gonna lose money if I stay past 10.30. So what I ended up doing is I started eliminating that timeframe from my trading. You know, there was plenty of times that I saw a bow lose an extra $1,000 a day because he was screwing off, right? He's like, oh, I'm up five, 10 grand on the day. I'm just gonna start fucking around between 10.30 and two. And what I noticed is this guy would start fucking around every single day and lose $1,000. And I'm thinking to myself, if I just don't fuck around and I walk away, I'm technically making an extra like $20,000 a month if I just walk away, right? So in trading guys, do not be fooled by the fallacy that the longer you're in front of the screens you make money. In reality, the less time you spend in front of the screens the more money you'll be making in trading. So if you are kind of struggling in your trading and you're giving back profits, 10.30 a.m. as a short-buyest trader walk away. If you are a long-buyest trader, there's plenty of long-buyest traders in MIC that wait until 10.30 a.m. to place their first trades. So while the shorts have the advantage between 9.30 and 10.30, the longs in MIC start trading at 10.30 until two to take advantage of those zombie moves guys. So is this all making sense to you guys? So yeah, today was a pretty solid day. I remind myself that if I can make $3,000 a day that's $750,000 on the year. So far this year it is March 1st and I'm pretty much close to up a million dollars on the year which is crazy because that's how much money I made last year. And just goes to show that this game, this business, this opportunity is all about who is more educated in the market. The reason why I'm able to make all this money guys is not because I'm lucky, it's not because I'm pumping, it's not because I got an alert service. It's because I'm taking advantage of the dumb money that is following the alerts. The dumb money that is following these pumping dumps because the truth of the matter is that is the fastest way to lose money and basically as short sellers, we are betting against all that dumb money. So the more dumb money that enters the market, the more money I make. And to be honest, the more money MIC members make because they've learned how to take advantage of those opportunities. So does that make sense guys? So yeah, those are kind of the main topics I want to talk about today. So if you guys want, let's open it up to a Q&A so I could take your questions from today and see kind of what is on your mind, what I could kind of help you guys with and what you guys are thinking about this market. So let's kind of go through some viewer questions right now. So leave a question here and we'll go through it. Let's see what the fuck this market is doing. So do you have any questions for me guys? Let's get into it. Do I trade crypto? I do not trade crypto. I focus on stocks because there's so much more opportunity of stocks than crypto. Crypto is kind of like the training wheels. People that get into crypto eventually get into stocks so they see more opportunity. For newbies, do you think it's a good idea to stick around and watch price action? Yes, but you must have the discipline to not trade. If you're going to sit there and watch price action, all of a sudden you're going to find a trade, better not fucking be there. E-core was really broken and I took a hit and I don't fully understand why. So what ended up happening is on E-core, it was broken, yes, and then there was nothing else moving. So all the traders started flocking to that same stock guys. So because of the flow of money, because nothing else was moving, that ended up becoming the hot stock somehow. What is my starting share size? That does not matter for you because my account size is not the same as yours. I just started following stocks, any videos or pointers you could suggest, go to our YouTube channel and start watching as many videos that you can. Where can I sign up to get started? You could text Tosh or 213-458-5997 and I'll tell them to give you a discount. So did you size down today because it was Monday, like tomorrow would you size up on the same setups? I sized down on my first entries on Mondays because usually that first entry is a FOMO entry. What is my process for scanning pre-market? I look at the top percentage gainers. Does MIC strategies work on OTCs? Yeah, we actually have some OTC videos too and Bao actually started trading on OTCs and changed to NASDAQ. What I first started and what did I do? Example, one to two setups and then you size up. Basically look for my best setups only like shorting the first red day or shorting broken stocks and I'd only stick to that. The problem is that if you just try to trade everything, you end up nailing fucking nothing. So focus on the setups that you are making the most money on, wait for them to come and only trade those setups. Do you think the overall markets being up today affects small caps? Nope, overall markets do not fucking matter for small caps. How do you handle patience during the trade and waiting for it to work? What you could do is you could set fantasy orders, you could set trailing stops, you could do all that stuff to kind of control that phone mode because right now you're trading based on the money and not based on the price actually. So set stops, set orders, set whatever based on the chart and you will be rewarded. E-core just cracked 320, yep, 350 line that we mentioned. Do I only trade small cap stocks? I usually trade small cap stocks usually unless there is a big setup on a large cap stock like a Tesla or like a, I don't know, something like that. But usually most of the time it's small cap stocks because shit, man, a $2 stock going to 220 is 10%. You know, a $100 stock going to 110 is 10%, but that $100 stock going to 110 is a very difficult move. Again, guys, I get like questions all the time, like, you know, I lost money here, like I'm kind of struggling, all this stuff. And you know, my question's always the same, like what are you guys not doing joining MIC? Like I don't get it. Like to me, it's just like, you know, most people lose more than $200 a day and $200 pays for a month of education. So I mean, you could do whatever you want. You guys could continue to be chasing these large chasing these pumps, but just know that on the other side of your trade, that's me taking your money because you are uneducated. So the longer you stay uneducated, the more time it's going to take you to learn how to make money. You know, this has been the best market opportunity, past 2020 and 2021 has been the biggest opportunity to stock market ever since I started trading. I've been trading for about six or seven years now and this past year and a half year has been the biggest opportunity to make money. And if I didn't learn the process of how to trade before that, I would not be as profitable today. So learn as early as possible to take it. This isn't a question, but a testimonial. I joined MIC and cleaned up my whole process. Don't build bad habits, learning alone, rather start with good habits, invest in yourself and it's a tax write off, yep. So for me guys, the way I explain to people is like, I've been getting a little bit more into fitness. I am a very unhealthy person. I don't exercise a lot before this. I eat like shit. And what I tell myself is I'm paying a personal trainer to teach me all of the mistakes so that I don't have to learn it for myself. So I have a mentor for my exercise. So wouldn't you want a mentor for your trading? It's like, if you're gonna be a doctor, if you're gonna be a lawyer, you're not gonna go to medical school, you're not gonna go to law school, you're just gonna go to court and figure everything out. That's not how it works. You're paying for education to learn from the same mistakes that I made so that you don't have to make those mistakes again. And while you're at it, you're in the same community as us and you learn how to trade from us as well. So I was looking around these markets, crazy action. So do you guys have any other questions for me? I like to keep these videos short and sweet because I know that a lot of people don't watch these longer style videos, but I wanna just show you guys that here I am every single week just doing the same shit that I've been doing for a year, two years, three years, five years. And it's all the same shit. And yes, we repeat ourselves. Yes, we say the same things, but oftentimes you need to hear the same thing 10, 20 times before it clicks in your head. I'm doing the same thing every day. I'm trading and I'm walking away at 1030 and I'm up a million dollars doing it. So if I'm up a million dollars trading and walking away at 1030, why the hell are you who's barely up $5,000 trying to do something differently? We give you the advice, we share it for free and the reason why we share it for free is because 99% of the people don't fucking listen. The reason why we have all these free videos on YouTube is so that you guys can make enough money from the free education to be able to afford an MIC membership to actually learn even more. The videos on YouTube are like 10 minute trailers of one hour videos. If you guys are getting value from the free YouTube videos, imagine how much value you'll get from the community and from the member-only videos. So again, the free videos on YouTube are for you guys to be able to build a bankroll, to be able to afford to join MIC. So no one has any excuse, guys. I think I'm gonna wrap it up. So I usually do like giveaways at the end of these videos because I want to kind of reward the people that are kind of here to the end. So what I wanna do is if you guys comment one lesson that you learned on this video in the comment section and leave a like on the video, I'm gonna pick one person to win a free month of MIC. And if you are already an MIC member, I'm gonna send you $200 worth of MIC swag for free. So leave a like on the video, comment one lesson on the video and I will pick someone probably in by the end of the day or within 24 hours to win this gift. So I'll see you guys back in the room. I'm gonna get back to answering questions and if you guys need anything, hit me up whenever. Thank you.
