 There's my Texan, Tim McGraw in the flesh. I wish I had that feeling that way. Yeah, what is your criteria? Dude, just bring back Chris Brown, man. Who is this? Oh, God. Just give me R and B, man. God damn you. I'll tell you one thing, Tim. I'll tell you one thing countrymen don't do is beat their women. So there you go. Okay, that's the hardest I've ever won. Dude, I just laughed out loud. Not that I'm laughing at that, but I think they've been known to do that quite frequently. They'll just beat their horse, like Bao says. They just beat the horse, yeah. They'll beat something, man. I'm telling you, not that we condone this. Yeah. You know what it is, Joe, is like, here's the thing, man. I love how, dude, a society reads all these people magazine and beat their meat. Everybody was thinking about it, Bao, but you're neck deep in a Hennessy right now. Dude, I was just thinking, I was like, everybody reads these people magazines, man. And everybody thinks that they're friends with all these guys. I'm like, dude, I don't want to know what Chris Brown does behind closed door. He makes a cool song, whatever, dude. Right, exactly. Yeah. Like if I wanted to sneak peek into Chris Brown's life, I wouldn't be doing it because I like his music. Right, dude. I'm like, it's weird though, man, because we live in a society where if you actually think about it, celebrities are kind of like modern day gladiators, right? Like they're the spectacle of attention. And we pretend like we know these people and I'm like, dude, I don't care who's cheating on who and doing what behind closed door. Yeah. You're good at making music, man. That's a country song, by the way. I'll take it for face value. That's a country song, by the way. What's that? Which one? Who's cheating on who? Who's cheating on who? Who's being who? Yeah. Who's cheating on who? Who's being true? Who don't even care anymore? Joe has a Patreon, guys, for those who don't know to fund his music career. Man. Oh my God. What is the name of that song? Here we go. Oh, sorry. Okay. What is your criteria in your scanner to look for low hanging fruit plays? Tosh has a really good one for this. So I'll take, I'll let you take that away. Yeah, man. Here's the criteria. Dude, you don't need a scanner. Join MIC and we provide that list every single day at the end of the day on what you should watch for more. Or if you have a free scanner, like thinkorswim, what would you put in there? Because you say what? You like to see like what? 100,000 shares pre-market? Well, here's the thing. Here's the thing for a true low hanger, man. I like a stock under $5, at least under $7. I like it to get destroyed the day before and with at least 100,000 volume on day two. And that would showcase a amazing, you know, low hanging fruit. If it meets those criteria is not a micro float, ideally 5 million plus in the float. And then it's jumping into outer lines on a relief pop and then boom, boom. There you go. Beat the horse, man. That's it. You really don't use a scanner though. Oh, dude. Hell yeah. Alex into the here. Let me hear. I got it. Yeah, dude, we're bringing on that. We're bringing on the AT-09 baby. Special guest today, guys. We're bringing Alex on. It's about to get real. Yeah. Do you hear me? Yo, yo, yo. Is that, is that working? Can everyone hear me? Alex, what's up, brother? It is working. Can you hear us? I can hear you guys. I just want to make sure. Yeah, we got you. Welcome to the radio show, man. Yeah. So listen, we're going to talk about forex signals. Bro, so, so the reason why I wanted to come on, man, is because like you guys seem like you're having all the fun every single week, man. I'm over here just watching and like I see bow trading this fucking hurts. It's going to make me want to trade it. So I have to fucking control myself. My way of controlling myself. So wait, Alex, what you're saying is we gave you so much FOMO. You actually had to pull the trigger to come on show. That's literally exactly what happened. Dude, welcome to the FOMO train, baby. Yeah. What the hell am I bro? What is this? Like I feel like I'm at a radio show or something. Yeah. It's our new podcast. All right. So let's do it, man. Let's, let's answer some questions. So if you guys have questions, let's take it guys. Guys, what do you got for us? YouTube people, YouTube people watching. Make sure you ask questions. Am I see people ask questions? Yeah, I got the. I'm here. I'm here to answer any question anyone has about the new accelerator course. If you have questions before you look into purchase it, make sure you ask me. Um, I'm happy to field those. And I'm just here. Hey guys, I thought this was like Joe Rogan. He's like, He's the guy that brings everyone in. Yeah. All the chicks are like, Oh my God, he's so beautiful. And then me and Alex are just the one that. Yeah. You got Joe, a Texan that loves to grill. And then you have me. Arminian terrorist looking guy. Arminian terrorist. I actually look better without my beard. Believe it or not. A lot of people are giving me a lot of compliments. You're looking good. Something about the deal. We have a question says, explain the tab process and how members can get a tab. Maybe we weren't very clear on that. I wasn't around. I'm sorry. Yeah. So the tab process is this. So the reason why the tab program started is because me and Bow, we're trading in private for a couple of years, man. We didn't really give a shit about showing off. We don't care about all of these. Egotistical guys on Twitter pretending to make money. We were just sitting there grinding it out every single day. And what we learned about each other was that. You know, whenever I had a trade idea or whenever Bow had a trade idea, we would always confirm with each other first. Just to see what the other was thinking about. And it turns out that with more times and more times of doing this, we realized that if me and Bow both agree on a trade, chances are that's a fucking A plus slam dunk. But if one of us disagrees or one of us is hesitant, that gave us the confirmation that, okay, maybe I'll just size down here. So the tab program was created on accident because it kind of helped us and we knew that that was the missing link. So the way that we did that, the way that the tab program works is that you go into the trading accountability channel. You say that you need a tab and then the tab manager messes you back a form that you could fill out with your trading experience, long or short bias, maybe some goals of trading. And with that, we match you into our database of, you know, 1,300 traders to find someone that is going to fit your, that's going to be the missing puzzle piece. That Bow was talking about in today's Instagram live. So if you need a tab, 100%, you should get one. Just message in the trading accountability buddy channel or directly. Awesome. Next question. What type of stop losses do you guys use? We use market stocks. Market hard stock. 100%. Yeah. It has to be, it has to be market stop because if you have a limit stop on something like GR and Q. At like, I don't know, 250 chances are if it goes past 250, it might go to 60 to 70 to 80. And all of a sudden you're not stopped out. Yeah. Cause there's a video in the, in the, in the library of me trading RKDA back when RKDA did the major zombie move. And the mistake I made was actually I'm mistakenly placed a limit stop where I thought I placed a market stop. So go watch that video. And you can see how terribly fucking wrong it goes. Well, and here's what happens. I record it. Dude, this is what Alex was saying, guys, when you get a shoot up candle like this, if you have a limit stop at 250, this is going to shoot up. It's going to be so quick. It's not going to trigger. This would have to come down to 250 again. Look what it never did. It never touched 250. So you'd still be in this. That's why you need a more. Yeah. Yeah. If it blows up, it's going to blow up. It's going to blow up. It's going to blow up. That's why you need a more. Yeah. Yeah. If it blows right by it, and there's no ask or bid, and it's just illiquid, your, your stop isn't going to get executed because it just blows past you. Yeah. This candle is going to just put a middle finger to your stop. Dude, if you want out the bro, the, the it, it's get the fuck out. Who cares at what price you get out when it breaks your stop loss, get out. Yes. Give us a shit about three, five, five cents, five cents on the wrong. Exactly. Yeah. You, you're like, Oh, I don't want to get out if it breaks here and then I'll get out, you know, within five cents of there. And if it don't happen, yeah. Just like Alex said, it goes up another 50 cents and you're like fucking hell, I wish I would have just took 10. Well, the problem is it's like, Josh, could you go to the video library and show everyone how to use the search bar for a question like stops or zombie rules? Yeah, sure, man. I don't want to say. Okay. While he's pulling that up, uh, is Alex's. Oh my God. Is Alex's watch in the video? Alex, what do you think the main one search is? Like, what do you think I should type in like death line? Maybe this type is stop. Like cause a lot of people have questions about stop losses. So if you type in the word stop, you're going to see every single video that has to do with a stop loss. It talks about stop losses. That talks about anything that has to do. So pages, pages of that. Also, also in there, if you go back to videos. At the very top right there on all categories, just click all categories. There is an entire list of all the categories. So if you go to hard stops that in the H's, that's right up there, click hard stops. This is every single video that we've talked about a hard stop. Every single one. Dude, how sick is that? If you want to learn limit orders, market orders, if you want to learn the difference between range stops, everything else. If you want to see what we talk about as far as indicators, max loss rules, literally everything is cataloged right there. And it's, and it pertains exactly to what we teach in the accelerator course. So that accelerator course is designed around the video library. It took 800 something videos. I've watched, I've seen all 800 videos over time. Okay. I didn't watch them all at once. I watched them as they came out because I've been here like a year and a half now. Holy shit. It's almost two years. Oh my God. Dude, isn't that insane? What the fuck is going on? I feel like we've been doing this for 15 years. I'm almost 30 and I've almost been here two years. Shit. Okay. So anyway, we condensed and built everything around that. So the layout in that course is totally designed to be able to help you later walk through the video library to then expand your knowledge even further. So as a new trader coming in, it's extremely beneficial to have that accelerator course because then you're not a lost puppy in a sea of videos. You're not trying, right? You have a game plan. You have a plan of attack. You now have a course syllabus to your education. Yep. Is there a dropdown for taxes for trading? Yes. So we have, we have partnered with a guy named Brian Rivera, who is a CPA and a fucking kick-ass long large cap trader. Right here. So Brian actually specializes in taxes for traders, right? So for most that don't know, unless your accountant CPA knows what the hell he or she is doing, you might not be able to deduct locate fees. You might not be able to deduct a platform fees. You may not be able to deduct MIC. You may not be able to deduct the accelerator course. So by having someone that is in the industry and that knows all of these tips and tricks, it kind of gives you the one up as well. So I mean, we offer tax planning for members, you know, Brian helps a lot of people in MIC for free, but there's certain things that, you know, require a lot of time and effort. That's all additional for later. But if you have any questions, Brian is always around. He could help you and you know, he helped us with our tax planning at the start of MIC. Brian's a man. Oh my God. Alex, how do we access your live trades? Join my4xalerts.org. This is trying to have some fun. Hey look, your limit stop would have actually gotten triggered finally. Yeah, finally after I hit 280 and you blew your account. Yeah, my limit stop finally came back. Yeah. No, your broker limited you out up here at 275. Tom diesel mentioned that he uses an offshore broker. Can you advise where they can, where they also offer paper trading for a person outside of US or Canada. So yeah, trade zero has paper trading alongside their normal platform. So you can, you can pay for trade there. You can pay for trade using TC 2000. And I want to say there's a way that you can get access to think or swim. There's like a, I don't know. I'm not, I'm not really educated on that. So I'm not going to really even go. Yeah. I'm not sure. I'm not either. I don't know. They're used to, it used to be accessible to like everyone. And then they went to like only us and Canada. And then now I'm still seeing some like European guys coming in as well. This is also another one guys, just real time simulator on DOS trader.com. I think yeah, even international, right? It's just a simulator. Oh yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. You could go to the real time simulator with DOS trader and you don't, it doesn't matter if you're, you're fucking alien from another. Yeah, seriously. You can get access. Yeah. And you guys are going to have to pay monthly for that, you know, which that doesn't have to do with us guys. So just, you know, handle that in your own. But I mean this is great. So if you need to transition to Cobra or something and you do click DOS, which you will use for your professional brokerage and not a simulator, then you can just gravitate towards after practicing on it every single day. So that's wonderful. Dude, look at the RSA. What was that? What was that stock you were looking at a minute ago? It's like a cheapy. It's like a door in queue. Is that it? No, there was another one you had up a minute ago hurts. That's it hurts hurts your butthole bankruptcy. The question is, if you have a 150 line, would you put a market stop at 151 or what amount of slippage would you use? We all have different answers for this. Alex, you want to go first? I mean, it really just depends, man. It really just depends, you don't want to stop out at the places that everyone else is stopping out at. I've heard, for example, if you look at something like Hertz, 150 is obviously the half-dollar mark. Obviously it's something that is very psychological, right? So a lot of people probably have their stops at 150. What I like to do is I like to have them in weird places, 157, 154, some weird numbers that people don't really talk about, and I leave enough room in my trade plan to be able to get to those numbers. Yo, Bear, what's up? I'm the same. I'm like Alex. I will almost every single time, if I'm stopping out at a high a day or a pre-market high a day, I'm going to give it five cents at minimum, man, because these are heard prices. Look what Bal just said, dude. This is where most people are stopping out, guys. And that might only be half my position, because here's the thing. If I give it five cents over in 155, then if it stuffs hard with a candle like this, dude, I'm throwing it back on. I'm throwing that half that I took off. So there's heard prices where the stopouts are, and I might want to get back in if it stuffs hard. For real, yeah. For me, that's kind of why I went with my own little personal dollar a share rule. So if I like the $1.50 line, and I'm like, all right, cool. If I just absolutely get fucked, and I short at $1.50, and it runs a dollar against me, just in some weird halt shit, I'm going to be okay. So if I take 1,000 shares at $1.50, I'm watching it react to the $1.50 line, and I'm looking for those candle wicks above or below the line that confirm it, and then I'm looking for the volume to slam back down like Tosh was just talking about there. And then, boom, I'll jump in. And then I have a real hard stop, and me, I kind of like three to five cents above the line. I'm like, okay, if it breaks 155 with volume, then maybe I'm just going to be done with it. I mean, but it's going into the trade, knowing exactly to the penny what my stop loss is going to be, fuck, that's rare. For me, it's always on the fly. Yeah, I'll never do it at $1.50, man. I'll never do it, like, exactly. Yeah, I'm not going to be $1.51. I made that mistake one time back when Nico was here, and I stopped out, and I looked at Nico's chart, and fucking Nico took all of my covers, and I was like, you dick. And he goes, dude, it was so psychological. And I was like, okay, thanks. I've learned my lesson. All right. Yep. Joe's stopping out at $1.50, $1.51, $1.52. Nico was like, $1.50, $1.52. He goes like, jail. I'm like, oh, kill me now. Let's see if there's any other questions. You see any on YouTube, Joe? Yeah. So what percentage of your account do you risk per trade? We actually go over that in the accelerator course. We, me and Alex, put together a risk method that Alex uses. Again, this is not investment advice. We're simply just educating on you, educating you on what a successful trader uses, and you can adapt however you want to. So each of that, the percentage of account that we all use, I think, is all relative. It's all relative, man. Yeah, we use a max loss, sometimes based on account size, sometimes based on the trade. So I mean, to not go extremely in detail on that. And I'm pretty sure, Joe, you have a video on this, on trading basics as well. I think you have a risk calculator that you kind of created for everyone. Yep. Alex, from the past four months, I am a profitable trader and I'm usually short selling. However, somewhere in my mind, I am thinking to join your course on the other side. I am thinking, why should I join when I'm already profitable? Can you help me or guide me here? Oh, dude, yeah. This is Tosh's favorite answer. Go for it. Well, here's the thing. Here's the thing. I get 20 texts a day, man, on people saying, hey, you know, Tosh, I may make a little money already. I may be consistent. Why should I join MIC? Bro, do you want to keep the money? It's like, look, it's pretty easy to make money, man. But when you have a community behind you, when you have Alex's watch list behind you every day, you have Bow's scans, Bow's commentary. Your tab partner in your ear, bro, you are literally a trader is a toolbox, man. You are going to have a drill. You're going to have a screwdriver. You're going to have a flat. You're going to have everything you need to build that house, man. So you might be getting lucky. If you're not getting lucky and you have a system down, why not just enforce it and make sure that you're held accountable with positivity and a supporting community every single day? Like, dude, I can't rant more on this than any other question because I don't care how consistent a trader is without a community. Dude, do you know how much fun it is and just to instill these good habits and to make sure you're on the right track every single day? Dude, the guys that trade alone, they think it's a lottery ticket usually. The usual case is it's a lottery ticket. I'm going to do this on my own. I'm going to get rich in a year that I'm a retire. Bro, it's a daily grind for even the traders like Alex, who can pull 100K a day. We show up, we have fun together and we make our money together every single day while following a certain set of rules. And that's how we maintain discipline. That's how we maintain patience is because we're with the community and because we're keeping each other. And I learned from others as well, man. I learned from others as well. The only reason I'm able to trade the way that I am is because I've taken lessons from traders who are better than me and more experienced than me and molded their process into my own. So even though I've been doing this shit, man, like six years, over six years. Here comes someone like Faye that has only been here for four months. That is helping me improve my discipline. You know, I thought I had it down, but I still have so much work to do guys. And that's the entire point when you join a community of real traders that are actually eat, sleep, breathing, trading, your weaknesses. You will find that members in the community, your weaknesses are their strengths. You reach out to them. You see how you guys can help each other, how you can better each other together. And that is something that is not easily accessible in this world because all these guys are trying to pump and dump, sell you signals, do all this and that. So it's a different it's a different way that we run things here. Well, and Alex, let me let me add this and say, man, dude, I am pleasantly surprised every single week on the fact that I'm gravitating even a little bit more towards big caps because I have things like Joe Kelly webinars. Dude, I've been trading seven years on small caps. Guess what? When the market slows down in small caps, if I've been networking with big cap traders, which is not my niche, dude, I'm going to be better and I'm going to have more accessible plays given any frame of market, given any frame, you know, timeframe. Dude, you are just going to have opportunities to the utmost extent when you're a part of something like MIC. And for anybody that is looking in at MIC and you're like, dude, all you guys are going to teach me how to trade. No, dude, we're going to be that fun factor that you don't have. Trading is lonely, bro. We're going to when you're bored in a trade or you want some of the work out and you want some to take your attention going after hours, dude, you're going to have the time of your life. Like it's not just to learn how to trade. That's the main thing. But dude, you're going to get a family like you're going to get an ecosystem, man. Also to add to that is the strategy that's hot in the accelerator is a scalable strategy that applies to almost any market. It's not a simple strategy that is just tailored to one area. Okay, this exact, this same strategy that we teach in the accelerator, I apply that to large caps and I use that in large caps. Could somebody else apply it to futures? Probably. It's all based on charts and charts. Look all the same. Next to add to that is if you have that little tickle in the back of your mind that you think you want to join or maybe you want to check out the course or maybe what it is, always remember this, always remember this. Someone is always out there working harder than you. So you have to try to continue to work harder than they are. And guess what? They're M.I.C. only way. They're at M.I.C. working harder. Does it work in Forex? I don't fucking know. It works in shoe flipping on eBay. I'll tell you what, I bet I could go to Forex with this strategy and do it better than these fucking little YouTubers that are 15 years old that would make in 30 pips on a day, bro. What the fuck is a pip, dude? Bro, I'm in your videos. I hear about better average while trading. Can you under? Can you help me understand what exactly is the use of average? Average shares trading? I'm not sure. What's that question? I understand in your videos. I hear about better average while trading. Can you help me understand? Oh, scaling, scaling your positions of average, average shares trading? No, I think what he's talking about, Joe, is getting in it one bullet or scaling a position. Oh, OK. I mean, you can take that one if you want. Yeah, I mean, I'm fucking lost on that question. Well, here's the thing, man. I think it's a scaling. I think it is. But here's the thing, man. If Val wants to scale a pop on G, R and Q right now, dude, he may throw a little bit at 250 up to 275. That's scaling. If he does one pop shot at 250 and, you know, like say a thousand shares is the max position, right? If he throws all thousand at 250, he's not going to get his average up if he doesn't add into up to 275 or 280 with a stop above high of day. He's getting his average up by breaking up the shares. And I'm just using this for an example. Val might be using way more size, but say he uses 500 at 250 and 500 at 270. He's going to have a 260 average. You see what I'm saying? It's getting your average up. So I'm not a big advocate of trading with a one pop shot. Like if it reaches 250 or 260, I'll throw on the mother load. I want to get a piece the whole way up just in case it goes to 250 and it crumbles, you know, or 260 and it crumbles before waiting just for the 277. Yeah. And bow was probably the master of scaling and having the best average. I think one time I had a better average than bow and I was like, holy Jesus, I'm going to frame this shit. Joe, you were, dude, five years ago, I was trading and I wasn't talking about Alex. Back then I was just kind of following them on Twitter. We had kind of talked like in PMs, like, hey, dude, thank you for the trading fish. Thank you for the advice. You really helped me indirectly. But dude, I remember one day I top ticked something where bow and Alex were competing for top tick fills above them. And I was like, I literally thought I was Superman. So I was just like, whew. And then I gave it back at the end of the day on zombie hour. Oh God. Also, I was like, for one moment in my life, I was like, I'm freaking me. I was going to say, Tosh, also go again to the video library search bar and type in the word scaling so that people see like how to kind of access some of these videos. Because again, hell yeah, a lot of people ask like a lot of similar questions and I feel like I don't know how to use the resources that look at how simple this is, man. So scaling, right? Yeah, scaling scaling. You could just even type it in. I could get scaling there. It doesn't matter. But look it up, guys, and you are going to have. Tons. Look it right there. There's two. There's two of bows recaps. There's four James Friedlender videos. Let's go next page from 11 pages. I mean, bow is the master of scaling. He is literally the master of scaling. We all learn from him. Alex learned from him. I learned from him. Tosh learned from him. We fucking all learn how to scale bait because of bow. For years, I studied every chart bow posted on Twitter before MIC for years, dude. And then when I finally, you know, bow became a dear, dear friend of mine and a brother. But dude, outside that, I scoured his Twitter every single day, took the screenshots of the charts, took his bills, tried to put it together in my head and I learned scaling through that, dude. I really did. What is an ideal minimum amount to start trading for new traders? I'm just going to make this super simple for you. A $2,000 account gives you margin. If you're in the U.S., outside of the U.S., I have no idea what you're allowed to use margin to get a margin, what it takes to get a margin account. To be honest with you, you don't even need an account to learn how to trade. You don't even need an account. All right. Before I ever learn engineering, I have to go to school and learn an entire level of, like an entire college level education before I can ever go to Bell helicopter, before I could ever go to Lockheed Martin and get a job as an engineer. If there was electrical, mechanical, nuclear, chemical, whatever it is, I would have to go get an education. You don't need a trading account in order to learn how to trade. Do I need an account? No, I just go to the DOS simulator and pay a hundred bucks a month to get an unlimited amount of buying power to be able to practice after I learn. There's no need to have an amount of money. I have to interject on this, dude, because I'm probably like, I'm like the ambassador for the new trader, right? Like the guys coming into MIC and they're asking me all the really basic questions, which is fine. That's what I'm here for. But guys, you have to understand you do not come into trading, never trade a day in your life. Don't know what a buy and sell is and try to risk your money. Yep. Dude, invest in your education. I get a lot of people that ask me, Tosh, I have $5,000 to my name. What do I do? I just made $300 in Robin Hood. I say, close the account, wire it out, get an MIC membership, go on a paper account and learn. Invest in your education because, dude, you will turn that $5,000 account into $500 tomorrow. Go take your money and buy the fucking savings bond. And pay more while you learn. Like, thank you, bro. Yes, dude, investing in your education is going to get you where you need to go 1000 times quicker than you trying to turn your two or $5,000 account into a million dollars, dude. Yeah, you need the course. You need to be surrounded by this professional level. Go buy some rims for a Honda Accord and flip them like Alex did. And then. How can you expect to be in a game filled with sharks when you are a guppy? You know what I'm saying? It doesn't make sense. You have to be able. If you are, if I want to be a doctor tomorrow, then they're going to fucking let me do knee surgery tomorrow. They're going to make me go to school for 10 years before I even operate on a dead body or whatever it is. Dude, seriously. One of these guys took me nine years to become an engineer, took him nine years to become an engineer and people want to be a successful trader in nine days, nine minutes, nine seconds. All right, I'm subscribed. Bro, don't put the spoiler and the good rims on the Honda Accord. Don't learn how to trade. And then maybe you can get a Ferrari one day. The point is, man, is just learn, dude. Just investing your education, bro. Yep. All right. How important is, oh, wait. I'll cover. Okay. I'm just making sure I didn't miss anything. How important is VWAP when you are trading? VWAP is very important. And moving on. Yes. So let me, let me kind of explain how. So I use VWAP as a way of kind of keeping myself safe, right? So we talk a lot about the front side of the move and the backside of the move. And what I've learned is a really good indicator to help you with sizing is if you are short bias and the stock is above VWAP, you have no reason to size in, but if you are short bias and the stock is under VWAP, that gives you an edge, that gives you more probability of it going lower, which means that you have the ability to size in. So for me, I have a 30% rule that says if a stock is trading above VWAP, I'm only allowed to use 30% of my size. By doing this, I keep myself safe in case some freak accident like GRNQ happens, right, where I am able to stop out with an extremely small loss because I have extremely small size, but when it does turn, when it does break, when we do come to tomorrow and it is under VWAP, that gives me the ability to say, you know what, it's time to size in. Yep. It's called the 30% rule guys. Alex created it with Alex. Was it Brett Steenbarger? Yeah, Brett helped me with that a lot. We helped me with exactly. So again, like think about it. I had to get out of my comfort zone, talk to someone who is more experienced than me, that is older than me, that has seen this before to help me improve my trading process. And now that is yielded to more profits in the future. So we are always learning, always improving from others. Yeah, straight from the horse's mouth, dude, Brett is like an industry legend mentor coach, dude. Like if Alex is listening to him and he's saying do a 30 to 70% rule, bro, you better bet your ass we're going to do that. Yep. And that's because we look back at the stats. We looked at the numbers. We said, Hey, this is what's happening. So let's create a rule process, a guardrail, a barrier to help with this. Yes, you know, I'll say it the way I, you know, I, I like VWOP. I really like it when I'm trading. But guys, honestly, it, the lines are what you want to pay attention to. VWOP can be a gravitational field. So you want to pay attention to especially things like zombie hour and stuff. And like Alex said, with the sizing, but also, you know, put a lot of importance into the lines, man. But yes, VWOP is important. And it's the only technical indicator that we actually keep on our charts. We're not keeping Bullinger bands. We're not keeping RSI VWOP is the universal indicator that we would always recommend, but that's it. Volume lines and VWOP, that's, that's all you need. Is a retest of VWOP after, I'm sorry, is a retest of VWOP from underneath always a short, or is there a criteria like day one death candles under VWOP retest or what criteria for longing off of VWOP? Should we bring Harry Hauss on? Yeah. Alex, I know like four webinars on that. Yeah, seriously. Um, I mean, I'll answer it the way I will, but like in the first hour, I am paying attention to one thing. And that's my shorts that are under VWOP or backside. If something like this happens, guys, at 10 30 around this time, it is doing a big shootup candle. Kind of like a teleport through VWOP. I am no longer short bias and I am looking if I did long, I don't really long, but if I was longing still, I would be looking for a dip back down to VWOP to launch off and get a nice move like a VWOP reclaim. But dude, I'm not, I'm not messing with a short that especially going to zombie hour that is, is like rampaging near VWOP or going through it and coming back. I'm just not on elevated volume specifically. Yep. Does someone from MIC provide an aftermarket feedback after the market closes, like some summer of watch list or video recap? Uh, that's usually, uh, the webinars, you know, we, uh, we do a webinar, I think probably every day, almost besides Fridays. There's some webinar IG live. Yeah, let everyone, let me mention that again. So everyone knows every Monday at 11 AM, I do a YouTube live recap of my trades every Tuesday at 11 AM. Bow does an Instagram live talking about his trades, talking about psychology, talking and bringing members on. And then Joe does a large cap webinar at seven every Wednesday. We have this webinar every Thursday. We have Austin strategy webinar, which everyone needs to attend, uh, Fridays or rest day, kind of like a, you know, you never know what you're going to get, maybe a live trading video, maybe a different video. It's kind of like a crapshoot Saturday. We have the Q and A, uh, it's a one hour Q and A in the weekend mentoring section. Uh, basically it's like a speed dating of questions. And then Sunday, we all prep together, put videos that we're looking to watch videos that kind of are going to get us ready for the week. And then the whole process repeats. Rinse and repeat. We're structured, man. We're very structured each week. For those of you asking if we're going to comment on other chatroom services, we will not comment on other chatroom services. We can only comment as to what MIC provides. That's why you're here watching MIC content. Do we keep it classy, man? We're not here to hurt anybody. We're not here to belittle, but we are here to teach you correctly. So if you want to join MIC and trust us, you're in good hands and we're going to show you why that's why we do these webinars. So you guys can get a day in life of MIC, see how we do our inner workings and kind of like what we focus on, but we are not here to call out, uh, Furu's by name, just their tactics. Yep. When, if ever, do you use market orders? How can you, how can you get into trades that are moving quickly in your direction without them? Uh, can you repeat the question, Joe? Sorry. When, if ever, do you use market orders? Um, only for stops. Okay. And how can you get into trades that are moving, moving quickly in your direction without them? Let's say on a first red day that's tanking under red and you're not in. What's your thought? Well, I said a limit order then boom, there you go. And to get good at that guys, it's going to take a little time man. You're not going to be Sonic the Hedgehog in your first week, man. It took, I'm really fast these days. I can trade four stocks at one time using only limit orders, but let me tell, let me tell you guys a trick, right? So for the people watching that are already here, I assume that these are the guys and girls I want to learn the most. So let me tell you my trick of how I'm so fast. So if you look at the DOS level two, um, if you click the numbers in the bid or you click the numbers in the ask, it'll automatically fill the box with the price, right? So what I do is I pre type in my order, let's say 1000 shares. So I've type in the 1000 shares as soon as like I open up the stock, but I don't trade it as soon as I want to enter either on the bid or the ask, I click the bid, I click the ask, I click short or buy that way. I don't waste one or two seconds typing up the stock. The way that bow does it is he has two or three level twos open with different prices and different share sizes. And he skips a step of even clicking the price button. He just clicks the short button. So what I do is I click the price I want on the level two box. The left is the bid, the right is the ask. If I want to short the bid, I hit the bid and then I hit the short button. That to me saves me so much more time than fumbling around and doing 500 shares, 322 short. Yep. You bow style time that you waste right there is the difference of making money on a trade or not making money on a trade. So these little tips and tricks, maybe they sound simple. Maybe you guys already know it, but this is the shit that you learn while you're doing it every single day, how to be faster, how to be better. And honestly, Bow's idea is the better version, but I just don't have the fucking screen real estate for it. But that's it's different, right? We all do different things based on our personality. Bow likes to just like he likes to trade five different stocks at the same time, he has five different level twos open at the same time. You can see his personality. Me, I'm a little bit more different. I need it simplified. I need it easier. So I just click the button and do it like that. So these little things, these little tips and tricks on DOS like shit, man, they might be all the difference. So take notes guys, try to remember these things that are going to help you. Yeah. And if you guys are, you know, if you guys are, let me let me say this, if you guys are, you know, asking this question because you're trading on something that's only like E trade or TD Ameritrade mobile. Yeah, dude. It's going to be way too hard with limit orders, man. You got to get a professional ass platform. I'm just going to like up arrow the living shit out of Bow's comment there. Just give me a second. Just like, whoa, whoa, Robin Hood, Oliver, really? Not going to do that. Delete. Oh, man. What commission free broker do you suggest for day trading? We don't suggest commission free brokers because they sell your orders and you will lose out on good fills. That's why we only recommend Cobra and Venom. And if you are an MAC member, MIC member, you will get a discount on commissions if you reach out to them. Best brokers for shorting stocks other than trade zero, Cobra. Cobra, baby. What is the difference between re-entering a stock that is taking you out after calming down? Okay. You've re you've exited and now you've calmed down and you're ready to re-enter and reassessing the trade versus a FOMO trade. How do you differentiate between the two? How do you know when you're emotional? You could usually tell, man, like if you it's kind of funny, but like if we just keep it really simple, what Brett told me in the past is that if you feel yourself being stressed in the trade that you are in the wrong trade and the oftentimes that you could see that you're stressed is you're like, okay, I'm not following my plan. My plan was to short at five dollars. It's at five dollars and 30 cents and it looks weak. I'm just not going to follow my plan. Are you following your plan? Do you feel yourself having a little bit more anxiety than usual? Trading should be boring. You should be sitting there and being bored, right? If you are trying to look for action, chances are you're probably in the wrong trade. So is your kind of heart rate going faster? Are you are you deviating? Do you feel weird? You could usually tell you feel you feel some type of way, you know? Alex, let me let me say it like this, man, dude, I was having a really hard time with SFET today because it was so goddamn slow, dude. But guess what? I had a plan at 160 and 168 for an ad. Dude, it took a while, but I walked away. I had orders set, dude. So you have to have your fantasy set. But the point is, guys, is that's the whole point. So when you're breaking your plan, that's when you're in the wrong, man. That's when you're wrong. I follow my pre-plan, bro. The 160 line and Alex was saying it. We were calling out and chat 160, look what happened. But the point is, man, is like Alex said, dude, the minute you deviate from your original plan or unless you're waiting for like a reactionary trade, like you're waiting for a deaf channel and then you short, that's different, that's a reactionary quick trade. But unless it's pre-planned and you're breaking your pre-plan, dude, you're doomed, you're doomed because you're probably going to make money on something you don't know why you made money or instill bad habits. SFET was a great example today. You just had to do your original plan. If you got in here because you're impatient, you're already getting squeezed. Perfect. Do members have access to Brett Steenbarger or some professional like him? No. And if you did, it would not be 197 a month for access to MIC. It's 197 a minute for him, bro. That's like caviar on the Toro Sushi. Like. Just got on light speed. What do you guys think of light speed decent? Decent. I can't make a comment on light speed. I've never used light speed. Me neither. Me either. No idea. So we use we choose Cobra. And so why we choose Cobra just so that people know is number one is you get free locates from time to time, right? You get great customer service, great feedback. You get great platform, great commissions and members get 25% off their fees. So I mean, essentially with the 25% that you save, that is your monthly membership for MIC. Yep. Well, there you go. And you're not going to have to pay for a freaking scanner. Dude, we take care of you in every way possible. Here's the best question right here. The question that Tosh also loves. Oh, God. Data shows that only 10% of traders are profitable. Why do you believe 90% fail? Don't get me started. No, bro, I'll keep it. It's 345 right now, so we should finish up in about 15 minutes with this question. I will. I'll start by saying, man, the reason why you're not profitable, bro, is because of ego or anybody. I'm not I'm not singling at one person, but the only reason why I struggled for two years in my beginning is because I did not seek out help, man. I tried to do everything alone. I had an ego. And then after that, for a half year, I said, fuck this, I'm still not joining anybody because you know what? I've been in this two years. The market deserves me money. I've given two years of my life. Guess what? You can give the market 20 years of your life. If you're doing the wrong shit, you will lose money for a lifetime. So dude, it's like 97% of traders lose money. That 90% is a wrong number. I'm telling you right now. I see most of the questions on Twitter of people being like, dude, I don't need MIC, man. Yeah, I got a $90,000 account, but I'm going to trade it by myself. Dude, and then he loses 20,000 the next day and he could have paid for everyone's annual membership. The point is, man, is eliminate ego, ask for help. Asking for help when you need it is not a weakness. It's a strength. People do not get the right education. Also, the 90% that fail could have, you know, just like anybody, it's not that any question is bad or any question is a good question. All questions are good questions. If you're asking questions, you're doing the right thing. The bad thing is if you've been around for three, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 12 months and you haven't asked any questions, you're just sitting back there with your dick in your hand and the thumb up your ass, like somebody's going to reach around for you. I mean, Man, it sounds like a good day. That doesn't come with a monthly job. That doesn't come with a monthly. No, it doesn't come with a monthly. Yeah, that's an olacart option of the minute. Yes, olacart option. Dude, it's the questions. People that ask questions are some of the best members that we have. The reason being is because somebody else is probably thinking of asking that same question and may not want to ask that question. It doesn't matter whether the question has an obvious answer. It only matters in education. It only matters that they're there asking the question, they're in the moment and they're participating. They're making a conscious effort to better themselves. Oh, yes, Netflix. Thank you, Jesus. I might have to make a call real quick. Tell COVID to sell some of my position. There you go, Joe. I had to close down my trading platform because I had way too many windows open and my memory on my computer was, like, way bogged down. And so I've just been watching it. Dude, sell Netflix and chill as Bao says. Yep. Any other questions, guys? Let's see. Dude, that is crazy. Let me just kind of answer that 90% thing one more time. Yeah, yeah, you can chime in on that too. The reason why 90% of traders fail is because, realistically, it's just that truth. They are lazy and they really just don't care. It's like, to me, it actually blows my mind how much people don't even watch the videos or don't even pay attention to the content that we put out. Most of the time, these guys just don't really, they join and they start opening up an account and just buying random shit or shorting random shit. And the problem is lack of education, man. It's really just that simple. It's that people don't want to spend the week, two weeks, month to learn because they are so excited for a trade. They cannot wait to trade. They are so ready to buy a Lambo or all these other things. But the truth of the matter is that the more time that you focus on education, the faster you will make money. So people do it the inverse. They focus on trying to make money first and then learning and they lose. Those that come in, that put in the work, that watch the videos, ask questions, attend the webinars, do everything in their power to give them the most edge, usually, believe it or not, end up finding success. Go figure. The reason why Bao is so successful is because you can tell, he puts in the work, guys here 24 fucking seven trading until the bell rings, right? And then he's in after hours. Yeah, the guys here every single day, right? People don't see the work that Joe puts behind the scenes that I put behind the scenes, that Tash puts behind the scenes. It's videos and videos and videos and videos. And even after six years, I am still improving. So how could someone with six days or six months experience expect to know it all? You have to drop your ego. You have to admit that you are not an expert and that there's always someone better than you and, amen, if I wanna get into basketball and Michael Jordan is gonna be there to teach me, I would rather go there, right? I wanna go somewhere where there is successful people surrounded by success because it's just like your friends. You are who you surround yourself with. If all your friends are alcoholics and potheads, you are gonna be an alcoholic and a pothead. If all of your friends are business owners and people that aspire to become better and always looking to help each other, you know what? You are going to become that as well. So always look to surround yourself with people that are smarter than you, that are better than you because I always want to be the quiet guy in the room. I always want to be the guy listening because I know that a lot of guys have a lot more experience than me and experience is what separates everything in this world. Yeah, so let me ask you guys a question. That's really important and I want you to think about this. If you lost $197 today or maybe bigger account, you lost 2,000 today and you don't know why, do you realize you just gave up on learning why with either a month membership in my seat? One full month of education is what that is guys. One full month, when I went to college, my college was one of the cheaper schools and I had to pay $20,000 a year for one of the cheaper schools for college, right? And here we are offering something that is 10th of the price, that to me is more fun and more educational and provides more freedom, yet people don't really want to put in the work. If you want to be a doctor making 500 grand a year, go to school for 10 years. You want to be a trader that makes 500 grand, maybe go to trading school for two years and that's the thing that people don't correlate it to. This is hard work guys, this is a business. There's no way that you're going to be making a million dollars a year in something that is easy. So, give yourself the best chance of success. Dude, I love that, well said. What goes, I'm still, Fadi, I'm reading your YouTube comments bro, or Gal, sorry, I always call everybody bro. I'm just having a hard time understanding what the question is. I'll read them both to you guys and see if you understand what it is. What goes in a day of trading from at what time? I think he means like, what is the daily process maybe? Yeah, probably. Okay. I mean, we have so many videos on this guys, it just goes back to the same thing. It's like, you could type in Tash, if you even go to the video library and type in process, Bao has a video in the Trading Fish Academy that is called the Daily Trading Process Explained. I think that's what it's called. And guys, it's funny because I'm the one that uploads all the videos to the MIC YouTube channel and video library and I watch all the videos before you guys. So the person that you see is doing all the stuff daily trading, improving this and that is the guy that's watching every single video when it comes out because I'm the one that's looking at it. So there's no coincidence that the reason why I say that the videos are where all the gold is because that is where I am learning as well every single day. I see every single video before it goes out, every single one of them. And that's why I am here and that's why I'm trying to tell you that that is the secret. You guys got to ask for help. If you need help, you got to invest in your education and then once you do, man, don't be shy. You got to ask us for help. This stuff can be really bad. Let's see, I already answered that question, that question, that question, that question, that question. Okay, YouTube questions are caught up. All right, I think that's it guys. I think that's cut. I think that's it. Let's do it. That's what she said. Let's end with top covering this Hertz trade for 10 cents. Let's see. Let's move on. Yeah, where's bow at? Where is that? Kick 20, what, 28? I bet Bowfield 28. Get your dime. He got a 137 starter. Yeah. Wait for it. Get your dime, bro. He was 125. Bro, there's six minutes left, man. He's insane, dude. He's insane. All right, let me get off this mic and kick Bow's ass. Thanks for having me. Yeah, Alex. Later, bro. Joe, this was awesome, man. This was a really good lesson this week. Guys, thank you so much for showing up, man. As always, I can't wait until next week, man. I hope Alex decides he wants to come back on next week. Joe, this was great, dude. We just turned this into a podcast. Bro, go get some brisket or something, man. Yeah, yeah. On this meat shortage, have you, dude, do you even know how much a brisket costs right now? It ain't even funny. Meat shortage? Is there a meat shortage? Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. You eat eggplants. Yeah, sorry, bro. I'm living on breading. I'm living like a rabbit food, man. You live like a rabbit. You wouldn't know. Dude, I'm living at juiceries and eating frickin' celery, man. Oh, she's like, meat shortage, she's never said that. I was literally going to say, bro, I got all the meat. What are you talking about? Nice trade. Nice trade. Look at the scalp he just did. Dude, what a way to end the day. Just out of lines, man. Just out of lines. This is all part of the process. Nice job, now. Guys, Texas, if you have any questions, again, the accelerator course, if you want access today, I can hook you up.
