 Yeah, that's the thing people don't understand, you know, there's two sides in trading, right? There's shorting. Shorting is just basically the same thing as a long but a reverse long you sell before you buy. And so, you know, I always tell people, man, if you're, you know, if you're a short seller, you need to have the discipline to stop out because some of these things go crazy. Same thing with a long, though, long you have to have the discipline to take your gains before it dumps on you, too. So, you know, there are nuances of both sides. So when you're starting out, try both. Who knows? Both sides, like I used to do, right? So, so, okay, so go on. But the one thing I liked about Tony, this is what he did, man, he, he stalked me. He found me in Las Vegas and I'm like, I'm like, dude, because I, when I go, when I go out, I don't like to see people, man, I, but Tony stalked me, he found me in Las Vegas, he went to the wind, met me at the wind. I tried to avoid him at any work and kept up, following me around. And so here we are, man. So I, I, I command you, bro, I appreciate that. And I believe in fate and everything happens for a reason. I still remember that day, man, you and your girlfriend sitting there and you're like, I'm in, I'm in, I'm going to, I'm going to put my job, I hate my job. And I'm like, dude, your job, making hell of money, you know, but you know what, man, when you have a passion and you want to do it and I like the way you're doing it, man, you know, like you're, you're in it. You don't, you don't just say it, you, there's action. You study, you watch the videos. You're, I see you every day in the chat room. You are everywhere, bro. So, you know, congratulations, man. This is well earned. And so tell us now, the good stuff. Like, um, I seen you in the discipline workshop and I seen that, pull up that, that, that, uh, trade chart where you have the green, like days of green. Like did you get it all month of green? Um, two red and all green for the discipline. This one is really good. It's a little out chart. Show us that you have that. Um, I don't. It's somewhere I remember, um, I remember Stephen posted it. Yeah. But that's good, man. You'll have two red days, right? So are you using a max daily loss and all those things that we're telling you, right? Correct. Heart stops max, daily loss, loss, I mean, loss per taker, max shares, everything. That's the game changer, man, because what happens? You can make money 10 days in a row. But that one red day is a scary day. A lot of people lose all the 10 on that one red day because they used to cushion all that. So that's why you have to have your max data loss auto liquidation of the broker levels. You don't touch it. I set to it one to two days max only. So you can only give back one to two days of loss because a lot of people, what they do is man, they, they, they work the butt off for a month. And then the last day of the month, they, they, they think they're up. They have a cushion and next, you know, do that one loss, wipes out their month of hard work or more. And so I'm telling you, this is, I love the fact of using heart stops. I'm glad that you've fallen the role, which is basically risk management. Risk management is the key, the key to being a successful day trader. Risk management is the key to being success in life. Your body has a built in max, daily loss auto liquidation. Like if I drink too much and throw up, that is my auto liquidation. You take 20 shots, 10 shots, you throw up and you pass out. That is like basically the broker's telling you, you're done drinking, you're done trading shots, you, you're done, you're done for the next day. Right. So, you know, thank God that the same thing with day trading, you have the max daily loss on the broker level. I, I have that, you know, your body has the same thing. You know, you, you're out for the next day. So then you lose a day. Every time you drink to the point where you throw up, you lose a day. Same thing with the, with trading guys. So, uh, so what are your, what are you working on to improve? And where, what would you like to do? You have, you thought about like where, where you found success and can you give some advice to, to the struggling traders off there? Um, okay. So what I'm working on is trusting myself more often and having more confident in my own trades. I mean, I, I have enough confidence, but you know, I can always use more. Sometimes. Yeah. Cause I remember you, you really afraid to please trades. Yeah. Because. So I told you the first trade that you usually do on a stock is the, is the most profitable, the easiest, right? Right. And I suggest you size that up a little bit. Is the subsequent trades that doesn't work. So did, did, so did you do that? Or did you do something else? You have some advice on how you overcame this fear. Um, I did do that. So usually the first time when it spikes up, it works because it's so volatile. And it's something called the first resistant test when it tries it for the first time, there's a good chance that it will tank at the right levels. The second time, you know, there's more people who got out or who sold. So it can hold and they could push further. So, um, you know, size up the first time, which is usually the best. And how did I overcome that? I, I just kept doing it over and over and seeing it that it works. And when it works most of the time, Hey, sure. Why not? And if I do get stopped out, then that's fine. Um, but one thing that I'm really working on right now is holding for longer for winners, because I feel like my entries are really good. But my, my exit, oh man, it can always get better. Yeah. Like, man, I mean, we leave so much on the table. Um, so, you know, I've always been working on that. It's the personality in my opinion. I'm a control freak. Uh, so I, you know, I've been holding a lot longer too. So just, I think you too. So it was great because our entries are really good. It's just, we're so quick to take the problem because we, we see money on the floor. We want to pick it up. And so I'm glad that, you know, the, and it's only been like, my God, man, a year and a half since he joined MIC. So, I mean, so, so these do you really enjoy training now? Like, so you had your dream. Your dream was become a professional day trader for a living. How, how is that? Are you living the dream? Do you think this is what you're going to be? I mean, for me, I thought it'd be glamorous. I'd be bottles and models and Lambo's and stuff. But here I am sitting in home talking to a bunch of dudes that I've never seen on the internet. I actually enjoy it because the thing is it's the one profession that I can work for myself and help other people without any rules or regulations or, you know, that's it. I can just teach other people without other people saying that no, or it's the right or wrong way. Are you financially okay? Are you stressed out, you know, be, you know, this is basically your own business, man, but that's not guaranteed. You can go to work all day and McDonald's will make more. But I like the challenge. It's I strive for challenge because in my other previous job, it was, you know, I learned everything I need to learn. I did everything I need to do. And there wasn't much of a challenge anymore and it got boring. So with this, I can always challenge myself internally and externally. You know, I can understand more about myself and learn how to help other people overcome their obstacles as well. Because that's what I focus on. Human excellence. Well, wasn't that before you, before you were some psychologist or something? Yeah, I was. I worked in the psychological field and I emphasize on behavior analysis. Yeah, behavior analysis. So basically, I just analyze other people's behaviors to understand what they did, what was their outcome. And the last thing is who they become because the most important thing is. After you achieve all of those, who are you going to become? Are you going to become a piece of shit or a great person or a person who gives back? That's the most important outcome in any success. Did you, do you use that to analyze yourself? Yes, that's why I take, that's why I put myself in all those positions of, you know, formal greed, fear or, you know, holding longer. But what, what, what did you study in school? What was your official major? What would you graduate? The college you have a BS, the MS. So, Alex, this is great. You hear this? I mean, this is a true trader who is also a psychologist. This is like, dude, this might be your calling, man, combining both, both what you love trading and your, and your background. Now you, you know, because there's not many trading psychologists that are legit traders as well. So this could be a great niche for you in the future, man. I mean, this, if you combine it, this is a great area. Like, so once, once you become more comfortable with trading, dude, Alex, we can set up a channel where it's like, this is your discipline workshop, bro. This is mental aspects of trading. And so you and, you and Stephen can be like, dude, and James, you know, I mean, I really, I'm really excited for this. Cause I remember that's why I'm waiting for you to get this level. Now you're, you're using your school and your, your, your other experiences. I mean, this is, this is great, man. This is amazing. It's fun too, because, you know, it's, it ties in with everything that I do. Cause psychology stuff is really important aspect of trading, as you know that it's, and so I keep telling people, there's two things in there is like the mental side to keep you disciplined. But then we're humans, man, we get greedy. We do stupid stuff, right? We just flawed. And so that's why that technology is very important. Do what it takes to, to make sure you don't kill yourself. That's why cars have seatbelts, airbags, all of that. And so multiple layers of risk, offense around your account, such as hard stop max, they lost broker level, things like that. You know, and then you also have the tab trading accountability buddy and stuff like that. So I, so use technology in conjunction with the mental aspects, but I guarantee you, man, I have a bad day. Um, uh, I'm bad sleep. I fight with my, my girl, I fight with my family, whatever I mean. I, you know, your brain just goes crazy. Right. So days like that you need a hard stop. You need max a loss because there are days where I don't give a damn anymore. I'm all in, I'm fucking pissed off. Why do I need, you know, cause like your life is in chaos or whatever hell it may be. So I always tell people, there's always two sides to training guys to keep yourself safe, two sides to risk management, mental, mental can go like this, but that's what you also need. You also need technical, right? Which is the max data loss stops and things like that. So, but thanks man. So now you what, so I mean, congratulations. I don't, I don't even want to tell you congrats, man. I feel, I mean, I, I mean, I hope you, you know, you're getting self into now everyone's going to start hitting you up. And then, I mean, but this is what you love, man. So I, you know, um, any last comments guys, I mean, uh, Tony to what's your advice to people listening that are struggling? What, what, cause you're a psychologist, you know, you're actually certified. Yeah. So I wrote down 10 things, um, Advices for people to listen to is, uh, well, this is my process. Uh, number one is being able to observe yourself to know how you're going to react in the market or during the trade. Uh, number two is having discipline in signature plan. When you place a plan, stay with it, but then modify it as you go. It's, uh, it's dependent on the price action to you need to have an edge. Cause the thing is, if you have an edge, you know, you're expected of a, of a strategy of a win rate or I mean, uh, just strategy. Okay, I'm going to go on, um, and accept that you are alone responsible for everything that you do. So don't blame it on the market. Don't blame it on other people, you know, blame it on yourself and take responsibility. Number five is there is no holy grail. I've learned that when I first started, I tried every indicator possible, but then I realized that going back to simplicity is the most effective simple line to line support and resistance, pivot lines. It helps the works. Um, six, trusting yourself, you know, trust yourself to take the trade because sometimes we get so caught up in different chat rooms or different ideas. Um, just trust your own self through experience and time. Uh, seven, being able to stand up after being, being down, you know, even though it's really tough, just keep going because over time we'll learn how to modify ourself and adjust and be better. Uh, eight, being lucky from time to time. I have that mindset of being lucky from time to time because, Hey, you know, sometimes we get home runs, but if we can consistently get, take small profits every single day, that's all that matters. And it adds up, uh, nine, keeping it for me. I like to keep it mental trading journal and then reviewing it after mental. As in, you know, I, after the printing day, I sit in meditation for maybe five, 10 minutes. I review what happened mentally and I try to visualize of how it went and what I could have done better. The last one is don't panic. If it's going against you, don't panic. It's just, you're going to be red first as a short before you become green or you're going to, you know, vice versa. Stay calm, but use your emotions as your guide. During the train as well. And those are the 10 things that I wrote down for myself and I advise people to give it, um, try it out for themselves as well. Man, you are very confident. You know, this, um, this, uh, conversation, you're so calm. Maybe you, are you, I mean, uh, are you always like this when you trade? Or I mean, what happens when you're like, are you get, what happens when you get frustrated? Cause like, you know, from, from my professional psychologist point of view, you know, like, how do you manage to control your emotions? Cause even you telling me this, you're so calm. That's, that's a good quality to have as a trader actually, but people like me, man, I go crazy at curse. I'm all over, right? Well, just like the rain, you know, it, it builds up, it happens and then it goes away with emotions. It typically lasts for 90 seconds. Just remember that it typically lasts for 90 seconds. And during that 90 seconds, then it all out, take a walk, stand up, do something and then come back. That's about it. Very good point, guys. 90 seconds, just count to 90 or something. You can walk around because that's right, man. In 90 seconds, that's the difference between you blowing up or not. Clearly that's the 90 seconds you're adding to a loser and then it holds up and you're dead. So 90 seconds, I like that. So you're hearing professional advice, 90 seconds. Yeah. And if a person keeps doing that over and over, they train their body to react to that 90 seconds so that they can lower it down to 60 seconds, 30 seconds, 10 seconds, five seconds, and then, you know, they'll be okay. So what if 90 seconds I'm still pissed? That's fine. Some people, some people takes longer. Sometimes you've got to vent even more, scream your heart out. I'm still venting from shit that happened three years ago, bro. But thanks, man. I mean, you are correct because I'm a very emotional person, man. My problems, I react right away. So I mean, to me, that's honesty, but that's really stupid too, right? Because I don't really think things through. And so you really helped me there, man, 90 seconds. I like that because a lot of people say, hey, calm down. You're the worst thing to tell someone. Their piss is calm down. Calm down. But then you take a deep breath, it works. Walk around, come back and you feel great. You're right, man, 90 seconds. But that 90 seconds when you're mad, seems like an eternity too, right? Seems like a long time. Yes. So this is good. You have these written out. Well, we will post that as a PDF or something in the room and pass it out because I think this is really great. This is, you know, you're a trained psychologist, man. You got a master's in this stuff and you've done this for a living, right? So this is great, man. I mean, this is something that's really valuable asset to the community, man. I appreciate you, man. Thank you very much. Thank you. I really appreciate you too. All right, man. Thank you. Let me bring on Alex and then congrats, man. Thank you. Okay, thank you. Hey, we appreciate it, man. This is awesome. You see the members that are in my MIC is just amazing stuff. I mean, I don't think people know that you're a psychologist, bro. Let me see. Let me move. I'm going to leave. Okay. Let me, let me try and figure out how to add Alex. Okay. I removed Alex. Oh, shit. I removed him. Oh, let me for Alex to come back in. I actually kicked him out of the chat. You're in here, Alex.
