 Oh, it's been a while how you guys do it? I feel weird coming on here guys. It's been so long I miss you guys actually I miss I miss retting so Tuesdays on Instagram live as a day I get to just fucking talks whatever the hell I want to talk about As you know, I'm pretty blunt. I for those that just entered We I post all these trades of mine on Twitter every day guys every day we post A lot of these guys are making videos as if they are Professional traders which they are not and they don't impose a single chart all they do is they regurgitate all the stuff We say so you have to be careful guys nowadays training is very difficult. Doesn't mean that it's impossible It's always been difficult guys. It's always difficult when you don't know what you're doing gambling eventually stops working and when the odds are you know catches up with you, right guys So when when people say these markets are difficult, I mean, they're difficult How are they difficult? You just have to be disciplined. You can't you cannot just Randomly enter stocks and then add to losers and hopefully you make money back That's not how it works because the volume is so thin Then they manipulate that the stocks they and they see your orders And so now you have to know what you're doing But if you know what you're doing, you're making money in any type of market guys So this is to me. This is nothing new. It's not difficult. It's just less opportunities That's because if there's less opportunity means your setups your knowledge your different strategies are not up to par guys So so during the times when things are slow and you say there's nothing to trade It means that you don't know enough strategies guys So if you're a long-buy strategy join in my seat and learn short trading, you know If you're a short seller learn my seat to figure out different strategies of short selling If you want to stick to long figure out what the shorts are doing and then do the inverse So that's why my C's great because we have a collection of long buys mentors short sellers They all we all work in unison guys. So that's all I'm saying. So welcome to my C's Instagram live on Tuesdays I get on here. It's probably been a month. It's a bit on I've I've deviated from my process. I Moved to you know, I moved out of where I was before You know, I'm just trying to get back to my family So let's don't that's why I want to talk about guys. I want to talk about routine and habits So thank you Tom for this For this topic So what I'm trying to do on these Instagram lies now days now on Tuesdays is to get back to my roots guys. I It's very boring talking about trading for four years ten years 20 years in my case It's the same thing talking about process on all this stuff is so now you see people regurgitate the word process Zombie rule. I mean all this stuff that we used to That no one knew no one knew now everyone makes it. It's a staple. It's a staple It's it's a part of trading these key buzzwords that that MIC has come up with you know, like, you know, everyone's talking about it Everyone's talking about process and all that stuff They're not just talking about pumping and dumping and you know, we're talking about lines too many for the lines I was talking about lines zombie rule first red day. That was from my OTC days back in the day Three-day rule all that guy. So I miss you guys. So now we're gonna talk about how training is gonna be related back to your real life So it's part of the kind of like life coaching guys I hate I hate being called a life coach like who the hell am I dude? I get drunk way too often. I miss work too much I am not a role model in that sense I what kind of life coach that I get right, but I'm very good at certain things guys You know, I'm good at training and I'm good at helping you figure out how to relate Training to your everyday life and get to where Where you like to be guys So if I am an imperfect person if I am an alcoholic Whatever you want to call me if I'm a party animal if I don't take things seriously if I curse too much If I'm all these negative things guys if I'm all these negative things imagine how good of a trader You can't be if you are not like that Okay, if you don't drink if you get up on time if you have good daily routines good habits So we always talk about process. What is a process guys? You know people talk about day trading process So here's something that the the fake gurus which is through a coin that phrase by the way not a lot of people use it If these fools are talking about process, but I don't really know what the fuck the process is process begins the night before The week before the month before the year before you even make a trade Process is routine. I have always said guys in order for you to trade well Your personal life has to be in order if your life is in chaos Your trades will be in chaos and I'm living proof of that man I went through a lot of bad things and you know just because I have my money just because all this doesn't be my life It's perfect right guys. Everyone has personal issues relationship issues family issues health issues whatever it may be guys Whatever it may be You know the process begins the night before the month before the week before do you need it? So basically that's what I'm going to talk about I'll talk about habits Okay, guys military is very good for some certain things. It's very good to make people disciplined It's to get you to a routine because in order for you to be successful every successful person has a routine How did I come successful? How did I become successful? How did Tom? How did Alex? How did everybody become successful? How do you love us all these they have a routine They wake up certain time they do a certain routine every day and so it becomes a robotic I don't even think about it. The reason why I've wear black t-shirts all the time. It actually copied from Billionaires I read a lot of stuff on billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg all he wears the same outfit Steve job wears the same outfit because most of the time you wake up And I stress all the time does this shirt fit? What shirt looks good on me? Do I do this shirt make me fat? So I said fuck this shit. I'm just gonna wear all black Pull black cuz I'm a fat ass and black makes me look a little skinnier. I'm not gonna wear freaking white tee with Horizontal stripes all I'm doing is I'm wearing what makes me look best and I have like a hundred black t-shirts Very inexpensive a hundred black t-shirts. I can throw them away I have no thought at all every day what I'm gonna wear So it takes away the stress the anxiety the time it takes so part of my process It's just to get the hell up and put on my black t-shirt get in my hat and Go about my business day right guys. I'm a very superstitious guy as well So I don't wear colors like weird-ass colors that makes me like red or something right because red means loss Right black means in the black and so I say so part of my process is that routine? So the days I don't wear black t-shirt cuz I because I get lazy I don't I don't freaking do my laundry, you know, and I run out black t-shirts or something's like I travel Oh my god, man. I'm freaking out. My brain is all messed up. I have anxiety in this order I'm like dude is this gonna work my shirt will fit right and so part of that process is eliminating every anxiety you have guys Okay, anxiety. That's the key to to eliminating stress Anxiety anxiety causes stress and in trading if you're if you feel anxiety means you're trading wrong we always say man you have to be comfortable with your trades and Using your body's Metrics your body's Psycho Physiology you can determine whether or not the trade that you're in is good or not because if you're in a good trade guys You're you're stress-free. I'm cool But if I'm freaking nervous because I'm like breaking the rule of all this my body tenses up I have higher Heart rate, you know, whatever it may be guys whatever it may be, you know That's your indication that you are stressed out too much Okay, guys, so get back to the process, you know, if like a golf like a golf like every good athlete It's the same routine becomes instinctual. I don't have to think about I wake up. I put my black t-shirt I brush my teeth I get in the computer turn it on. I lie sometimes I don't brush my teeth My teeth until later because because I woke up too late, okay? And so when that fucking happens actually it fucked up my routine because I'm like fuck me my breath smells What would be right guys? So the key is to get into a good routine and and whatever it may be guys Your life your personal life outside of training determines how well you do during training guys I I'm not kidding man. The moment Johnny Depp Got with a bad girl all shit fell his career died everything died He was a top actor right one of the top actors of all time Johnny Depp Or little what happened? He fucked up his routine. So now he's arguing with his girlfriend He's doing all this stuff and now he's he's done. He's basically disappeared, right? And so sadly that's that's that's how you you will be guys if you do not clean up your personal Routine so I'm doing that as well. I'm trying to get back into the routine of waking up a certain time Going to sleep at a certain time Not fighting with your girlfriend at a certain time, you know Do whatever it takes to make your life outside of training as comfortable as you can and that begins with Proper routine the moment you have a proper routine. You have less stress less anxiety We're about step one the moment I wake up in the morning If I have my teeth, I mean my toothbrush there all that stuff laid out for me all that stuff the night before I have no stress in the morning. I wake up the routine is set But the moment that I cannot find my toothbrush. I run out of toothpaste things like that My whole day is fucked. I'm not joking a simple something like that Can we say this or we start it? Yeah, this is good. Okay, that now I'm back now back. Can you hear me now back? Can you hear me now? Okay, good. So by actually my son called me. This is a very this is a very good a segue into what's going on here guys So my my son called me. He's been having Disciplinary issues. So this comes back to this one. I want to talk about routine So he's been lying about brushing his teeth. He's like ten years old Hey, so he doesn't shower. He doesn't brush his teeth. He lies. He lies to his mom and stuff about that So what we so I noticed because of that guys he broke his routine his his school education issues He's a smart kid man, but he doesn't study. He did goose off his school and and I'm like, why are you doing this? Well, I'm like so when he was doing well, he had a routine set, you know He would do his thing but now he has no routine, you know, and so we started getting him back on a routine So instead of punishing him hold on a second, let me replace us Is that punishing him so there are two ways to get a kid to do what they want either to punish them take things away But that didn't work that did not work. He didn't really mean anything But you know the moment we take things away, he can still lie He can still lie to try to get it back. He can say he brushes to teeth He can sneak an iPad with him whatever he wants, right? So we I decided to say okay, man instead of me taking shit away from you I want to make you earn it. So if you brush your teeth every day you shower every day or you have a schedule you check mark You can use the iPad for maybe an hour or half an hour a day, right? And so because of that, I think he's going to be much better person He's going to get back on his routine because it gets back to the routine just like the military If you get back routine the next routine is gonna go school and do all that But the moment you deviate from your routine, you're making stuff up on the fly guys So this first segment that which is IG live about back-to-coaching is if you're struggling as a trader Figure out what you'd have deviated Recently in your life outside of trading and turn and then fix that. Okay. I have been missing work It's because I don't want to blame it but I've been moving all the stupid stuff But that's no excuse now. I'm back. I need to get back to my routine I need to be able to sleep at a certain freaking time if I can't do it So I'm starting to take edible again, right? So I'm taking a I don't take sleeping pills But I'll take I'll eat an edible. So I eat an edible last night. I actually passed out like 10 p.m Man, I was like knocked out at 10 p.m So I'm doing whatever it takes to get back to my routine because when I look back at what I was Really really successful, you know, I had a routine man. I slept the same time. I woke the same time I I didn't exercise because I didn't exercise but I But but I did well. I may be a fat ass Fat ass, but you know business wise I did very well that comes back to routine and routine is process guys process of and it's Discipline, you know, I have a quote that I've been posting Let me show you This is kind of boring at first guys, but I want you guys to be successful I want you guys to have a routine so each Tuesday. I'm gonna give you a takeaway guys You're gonna go home. You're gonna you're gonna do homework for me. Okay, and then we can come back So I'm gonna finish this up and it brings them went on. Okay So check this out suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret That is your choice man Discipline sucks who the hell wants to sleep early wake up eat, right exercise Things like that. Oh, none of us who wants to stop out for a loss Who wants to stop training at zombie hours if you're a short seller, you know things like that guys And so no one wants to do these things. It's painful. It sucks But what would you rather have the pain of being disciplined or the pain of the agony of regret when you lose? You know it's simple so this is what I wanted you I'm gonna bring someone on guys and then You know today's topics will be habit routine, but you can talk anything or raise your head if you want to get on It's been a wall since I split screen someone and brought someone on so raise your hand if you want to talk We can talk about anything you want guys, but you know But try that guys go back figure out when you go sleep when you go eat things that it make your life as less stressful as possible Because if you're if I'm tired, that's already deviation from my routine. I'm waking up late I'm putting this news button like ten times. I'm hitting it ten times, right? It's already deviated from my day So the moment I wake in the morning is gonna be very important because training is right in the morning guys When I wake up trainings there, there's no time You only have an hour and a half two hours to get your shit done and then zombie our hips right guys And so I don't have any time to waste being Frustrated having anxiety to figure out all this stuff because a moment I know myself even the simple things like I can't find my tea I have my tea right here is running out now now now have anxiety. I'm like I'm fucking thirsty So whatever it takes for guys get routine. Okay, so raise your head if you guys want to okay Let me bring let me bring my Jorge Georgie or hold it we will see go live I think about charts here. So is it Georgie or is it? Jorge or me see Raise your hand guys. You might be in I'm gonna go live if you're consistently losing that is still being consistent as your team So figure out why you're losing guys because if you're consistently losing I mean you're doing something right in the wrong way, but you're doing something right to get that consistency So you just do the opposite So if you're losing you're adding to a loser don't add to a loser, right? You're basically doing the opposite of whatever it is that is making you consistently lose So let's bring someone on guys. I try to add him, but it didn't work Go live. They don't work Let me try another person. Let me try another person a allergy there Or someone else just raise your head. Who wants on you guys? Remember guys all routine. It's like when you're on a good streak You're doing the same shit over and over and over when you're losing You do the same thing over and over the wrong way. Okay, everything comes routine like a baseball player You having a hot streak you or a Staff Curry hit no three. You're doing the same motion every time who wants to get on guys just raise your head Otherwise I'm bringing Alex on I want to make sure that this thing works or not Because we had a little glitch there, so I don't know I could bring people on otherwise Hey, bro, what's up, man? This is a good Instagram live you put on about routine, bro Yeah, we would I mean this is a this is the first So my routine I was gonna make sure I show up at Instagram live No, I like what you said about the edibles Because everyone has their thing that they have to do to be able to stick to their routine some people For whatever reason if they don't go to the gym Then they are gonna be extremely stressed out the entire day for you Based on you your habits of personality if you don't take those edibles, you're not gonna wake up, you know That's the thing is bad My fear is being so because I don't need to wake up to work to be honest That's the thing and when I get bored I have a little fucking little devil sit on me like oh drink I call your friend go hang out at the bars, you know, and so they always say that the Idol hands are the devil's playground idle hands are devil's playground. It means I when I don't have you you're boy You have nothing to do So when you have nothing to do you're looking for trouble you're looking for shit to do and that's like you used to say this in The past is you used to put yourself into bad traits to wiggle yourself out of it because you get bored making money Dude, I swear to God man back in the day. Dude. I was so fucking dude I was like I would lose on purpose just to show my friend like check this shit But you know, it's just stupid my points like that's an arrogant stupid shit I don't want to talk about because no one should ever do that by the way because that's basically me making too much money But uh, but my whole thing is like we're so fucking bored every day Alex So sometimes we were bored we do dumb ass fucking shit to be honest, you know And so that we deviate from the routine and so I want everybody to go back into their routine My routine is I need to be able so I deviate runs again from the topic The animal is not because I want to fucking to get high guys is to insure to ensure that I go to fucking sleep Getting high is a byproduct. It's not the goal. Yeah, dude. That's a good byproduct, you know, but the high is so so But the things like that high makes me go to sleep not the different type of high, right? There's many different eyes in life, right? So do whatever it takes guys to make it successful Okay, like for me something something as part of my routine every single day that I could not miss out on Is I need to have a coffee in the morning if I don't have a coffee in the morning, bro I get anxiety I get start panicking. I'm like what the hell's going on It's a stupid. I take a little shot like a little espresso shot I take a little thing but without that little thing. It's like you say the anxiety Causes you to get stressed out so where you have to do everything you can to remove the anxiety from your Mentality for me is you guys talk is gonna sound crazy, but I had an unlucky candle. So this is my new candle I had an unlucky candle. I said you ever since I lit up this old candle and it's been giving me bad luck I threw it out and I put this candle in and so far it's been a solid day for Trading everything. So that's for me for me. I could not handle having another unlucky candle So this is my new lucky one, dude That's all about superstitions all about anxiety reduction guys So, you know, like for me the same way, but if I don't wear a certain thing I Do I've thrown away $6,000 laptop before I'm trying so I threw away so many laptops But I've gotten rid of chairs. I've gotten rid of trading computers I've gotten rid of small knickknacks everything bro as for me I don't want to walk into my office and see something for you Whether if you're true or not something that it gives me anxiety something that is in the back of my head that tells me Wait, is this you're actually unlucky How could a fucking $5 candle be unlucky, but it is if you miss your coffee, bro That's anxiety gives you anxiety all day long. So you need a free process So do whatever it fucking takes because you're gonna blame it on the coffee. Oh, I lost good I didn't have coffee that creates some sort of stupid thing in your head Same thing with me. They're like, oh, I woke up late. I missed my locates. That's the reason why I lose Happening in the scenario you miss out the locates then you get FOMO you start trading stocks You shouldn't be trading all of a sudden that anxiety leads to having bad trades. Yep force trades all that That's the whole thing man So it all starts that the thing with trading is this it starts as soon as you wake up because I depend where you live I live in California. So the moment I wake up the market is already open for a couple hours, right? Yeah, so I don't have time to acclimate myself get into there. I need to wake up and perform right away That's why training is so difficult. You know, you you need to get up and just fucking perform There's no warm-up. Whatever it may be. Okay, uh, you know You go in you see the stock you do what you need to do the moment you have a hiccup the moment that you deviate When all shit goes to hell, right? So so do whatever it takes guys to get your bag back through the routine for me is a good night's sleep It's making sure I don't do stupid stuff. I don't get drunk. I don't go out I wanted to drink last night so bad bro. I'm not joking. So I decided like oh chef I forgot how many of those I fucked in the head was a pass the hell out Sometimes we're taking an animal watching a movie. It's almost as fun. I Can't even do that man. Maybe I'm an alcoholic Just saying do whatever it takes guys Because I know myself man. I how the hell can anybody wake wake up at 4 or 5 o'clock? Right, it's fucking and so if I if I cheat with taking animals and so be it So which one's the more important in my life, right? With this shit Help the guys and my seeing stuff. So and elbows is legal. It was is good for me. It's better than fucking drinking pass out, you know Anything else, okay, I want to keep this short as well. I'm gonna keep it within a So next week I can come by and pull someone up, okay So that's what we do. We do give a homework assignment go and see What part of your daily life routine you can do to help your training and has it worked So for me taking this edible so I can go to sleep By 10 11 has been that's been great. I I had the most sober and wide awake. I've been you know, cuz I I Eliminated the fact that I was so bored at night, you know, whatever it may be I'm giving you my specific example for myself, right? Anybody it could be you stay up late because you play video games I think it's long overdue that we had these these coaching sessions back man because like you said we covered every single topic on Trading there's not really much more videos to make on trading. I mean, we have a full archive of training now It's time to kind of fix the mental aspect, which I think a lot of people need help with right now Correct, and then I'm right man. So it comes with a discipline and make your plans like leaving at zombie I'm stupid But here I'm doing IG live so next time what maybe I'll do is I will basically walk away from my trading test because right now I'm using Instagram live as an excuse to day trade during zombie hour Yeah, I mean it could be it could be remember back in the day used to go at the hill or used to go up to You know, maybe you could just kind of go take your car out and go for a drive pick up a sandwich I think that's good You see so I'm telling everybody I'm trying to work through my demons and my My deficiencies as well my deficiencies. I don't want to leave the trading table because to me it's like a casino But it should not be a casino. It should be a business. Okay. I'm not here to gamble But but that that's my deficiency. So I need to fix what triggers me So I have a better routine. So my better routine could be I need to get out the freaking house Get out of my office as zombie hour and come back in two hours. Yeah, be it work out be it go Whatever I want to do I feel you know and so so I'm gonna and I would actually help you because then you avoid the entire zombie times You come back at the reversal times and all of a sudden you did something positive and made money That's what Tom diesel does right? He does that people been doing that guys same thing if you're a long-buy straighter You know, you stay during zombie hour You know, you you know, you know, you know do whatever it takes, right? So next week I'm gonna come back. I'm gonna report What I did and my and you're gonna see a change. So that's the whole I want to give everybody guys So you see what I do? I I try to fix my routine by fixing my habit my routine It should make me a better trader. It's basically comes down to discipline Okay, and so this was very difficult to teach because it's not teachable It's something that you need to do, you know, and so you can fake yourself like I need to go sleep I need to leave there zombie. I can't leave but I'm gonna buy I'm gonna go buy a fucking like a fucking Panda Express something really bad or an ice cream cone because ice cream goes back to during the morning, right? But at least better than fucking lose your money during zombie hour. I had ice cream combo Or I might go take a shot But I'm telling you, you know, do what I take I think I might do that man I might just go and fucking eat some really bad junk food, you know or drive somewhere. You're right Yeah, I think I think that's what I'm gonna try to do too is maybe on these YouTube lives that instead of being in my office Maybe I'll just go for a drive for 30 minutes. I think that'd be fun guys There's us so it's it basically, you know, because right now man, I'm just looking at the fuck I'm like, dude, what the fuck I'm doing, right? I mean I'm a degenerate trader. I just love to trade like you said And so but the but I'm not you guys out there watching this video If you guys are doing this shit, you're blowing up, right? And so I want you To help yourself so make an effort and next we come back We'll talk about what you did and did I work slowly? It may not work overnight guys, but this is a good start guys to help you eliminate You know bad discipline All right guys, thank you. Hey open items are we gonna talk about? I think that's it The only thing that I have to add is I have the next live training video for lifetime members coming This Thursday, so let me just show you guys really quick how to find that and access that so you guys come to the website here You guys click the video library button here Scroll down to Alex's live trades and these are live trades for lifetime members So I have the next live trade coming out this Thursday What I'm doing is every Thursday.

So keep us going for the next Year straight so more live trades coming for lifetime members Yep, and that might be a treatment if you want to see you drive that for us that lamble during life So maybe that's it man. Yeah, maybe that's what we'll do for now on I got no problem doing that Yeah, yeah, I might do that, too. So oh god go out and vote bro. I actually voted today Oh, yeah, that's good.
