 One of the most common questions I get asked is, you know, how do I start day trading? So what me and my mentor about it for our viewers on YouTube is create a free mentorship course that reveals our 12 secrets that every single brand new day trader should know before they get started. But please take note that there is limited seating every single week. So please reserve your spot at myinvestingclub.co. Link is in the description. All right, enjoy the video, guys. Yeah, so the random of the week is about the perfect trade. The perfect trade, guys, it's really gonna fuck you. Like, it's gonna fuck you really hard because the perfect trade doesn't exist, obviously, right? And so, like, the perfect trade has so much negative side effects when it comes to, like, just trading in general, right? But there's basically no such thing as a perfect trade, guys. And what would a perfect trade really consist of? Right, like, what would it really be? Like, would it be the perfect entry and the perfect exit? Like, literally top fill, top bottom, you know, top fill and bottom cover, right? The problem with that is, guys, you guys are always gonna say that you could have been bigger, right? You're always gonna say that, like, well, like, it was a solid trade, but I was only in 500 shares. See, there's no winning with some of you guys. There's literally no winning. The thing is that there will always be that. That will always be present. Is that you can always say, I could have been bigger. No matter what, like, if you start trading 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 10,000, you are always gonna say, I could have been bigger or whatever, or like, I didn't get, right? I didn't get full, whatever it is. Like, there will never, ever be a satisfaction as far as comes to, when it comes to size. And so that's why you guys judge a trade just because it wasn't perfect. The only thing that you can judge your trade on is how well you followed your plan and your idea on it and did you keep your risk in control, right? You have to learn how to be satisfied on your trades. You will never be satisfied at all with any trade you take, no matter what. Bao says this too, but really it's really true. You'll never be satisfied. There will always be something, whether it's, but it stops me out first and then I got back in or whatever it is, it doesn't matter. Like, there will always be something that pushes you to dog your trade, right? If you're never satisfied, that means that you'll constantly push and push and push yourself towards this kind of perfect trade, this, you're trying to push yourself for the satisfaction when you could already have it on a solid trade and that really helps your mindset. But despite this kind of neg, this negativity, like affecting your day-to-day psyche, you know, when you constantly and negatively evaluate your trades, you know, that, first of all, that helps you never to be able to move on because you always think of like, what could have happened or what should have happened or, you know, where your account might be if or whatever it is. Despite all of that stuff, the fact of the pursuit of the perfect trade is why you're never, why you're never able to place a goddamn trade, right? Like, and this is probably the worst for newer traders. Like, when you are looking for that perfect trade, just that pursuit of it means that you're constantly judging every single setup in front of you that is this perfect, do I take it? No, is this perfect, do I take it? No, I can't determine why this is perfect or how this is perfect. So that means I can't take this trade. Like, I can't figure out the exact price to short it. You know, like, whatever you're doing to kind of dissuade yourself from taking this trade, that's why, you know, this pursuit of the perfect trade is why that trigger is just, is so heavy, right? That's why it's too hard to pull. That's why you can't seem to find the spot to short it because you're looking for the perfect spot to short it. And I fall into this too sometimes. Sometimes I just ask myself, is it gonna be higher or lower? Is it gonna be lower than this? Do I think it's gonna be lower than this? Well, that means it is a short here, right? That means I think it is a short here. Now, do I think it's a perfect short? I don't know. The thing is you won't know, right? You're never gonna know what's perfect until at the end, right? So you just have to, you know, follow your plan and stop trying to make the trade perfect because when you look to make a perfect trade, because it doesn't exist, the trade, it's not gonna be perfect, but however close to perfect it is, it's going to pass you by. And you are gonna sit there frustrated that you didn't act because you couldn't decide what was perfect or what was best possible, right? Or what trade made it so that you didn't, the trade didn't go against you at all, right? Whatever it is, right? That's why that trigger is so heavy to pull because you can't seem to find it. Dude, you're gonna be here for, you're gonna be here for 10 years not knowing where the exact level is to pull that trigger. So predeterminate in a plan, say I think this is good, I mean the stock gets there, you pull the trigger, it's not gonna be perfect, but you're probably not gonna get the top. My name is Toss Bradley and I'm one of the head mentors and moderators at my investing club. If you have any questions about getting started in trading, getting started in the MIC, MIC in general, text me at 213-458-5997. This is not a robot, it is me directly on the other end of my business line and we'll get you in the club. We also have special promotions going on that I can get to you depending on your trading needs. Hit me up, back to the video. Let me tell you guys, getting the top, normally when you get the top, it means that you got like not full size or you got a partial trade and it sucks. You wanna get like, it's nice to get the top, it really helps the average if you get the top on some of it and then you add on a pop and that's the way trades normally go. Like you're never gonna have, you're never gonna have a top average ever, ever. But if you get, if you have a top average, that's gonna be a small position, I promise. I've never, ever, ever, ever, ever had, ever had the top average on full size, ever. I've gotten close like, you know, on stuffs, stuffs are the closest when you like short up into a stuff which is getting a lot more dangerous now than it used to be because it used to just be bread and butter, they stuff and they die and that's not the case anymore. Yeah, like it's, and still it wasn't the exact top because you slammed and added it lower. So still, like stop trying to get the top, stop trying to make the trade literally perfect. Imagine trying to, imagine trying to take a shot but you're trying to make sure the shot's perfect before you take it. You're gonna find something wrong with your elbow, you're gonna find something wrong with your foot position, you're gonna be like, oh crap, I didn't breathe correctly on that shot or on my feet separated to the right distance, all this shit. Like you're never gonna take the fucking shot. So that pursuit of the perfect trade is really killing your just your day-to-day mentality. Most trades aren't gonna set up perfectly anyway. And you know, like, and here's the funny thing, when trades finally do our, trades finally are perfect and I don't even call them perfect. What I call a perfect trade, like if you hear me refer to something as a textbook trade or a classic trade, to me that's kind of my lingo for the trade was perfect. Meaning the trade was by the book, it was, it may not have been necessarily perfect but it did everything it was supposed to do in the time. Like basically that's as close to perfect as like my lingo gets. Like I'm never gonna say there's a perfect trade, there's textbook trades and for me those are like as close to perfect as it's gonna get. But finally guys, you can't compare your entries to anybody else and I used to have the biggest problem whether it be like with a tab or whether it would be with on Twitter, whether I would see if somebody had a better average than me, I would shut down because I knew that what I was, the trade I was taking would be sub par, right? And to me that's all I saw. It's like anytime I had a lower, anytime that someone told me what their average was or I saw someone have a short on it on Twitter, like value should be the fucking worst of this shit. That would always ruin shit for me when he would post his fills on Twitter. The thing is is like I would be like, the stock would like pop up and there was a time where value should post his fills on Twitter all the fucking time and just the fills. I would like be there looking at Twitter, looking at the stock and like the stock would fall and that would post his chart or not his chart but his fill showing that he shorted the top and all I could think about was smarter money shorted the top, smarter money shorted the top, I can't short it here. And like fucked me up for a while before I had to just shut everything off and just trade me. You can't compare your entries to anybody else. Your lower entries could actually be better than the higher ones that your friends or someone you see on Twitter might have. You can only compare your entries to the risk that you knew that you were taking, the reward that you're going to get in relation to that risk and your probability of your trade working, of your entry working out. But that's the only thing you can really compare your interest to. Anything else is just, anything else is just shit above the, you know, above the shoulders mustard shit.
