 You do it. Oh yeah, we are recording. I have a pleasure room, do you want to see? Dude, I've still been trying to figure out what is the corner of this? Is that a screen or is that a bed? That's how I force trades when there's nothing to trade. I was gonna say, dude, I've been wondering for seven years what this sick bastard has on that screen. That's how you use your imagination there. Exactly. Oh man, dude, what should we tackle first? We got pumpers, bro. We got people sweating on live streams. We got a fire watch list. We got- How about we do this, guys? We're gonna talk about risk management real quick. Giveaways. We're gonna talk about risk management real quick. Let's do it. I posted a link earlier. Everybody, everybody, everybody should watch this. The latest Instagram Live, where I discussed that. I'm gonna copy that again, guys. Yeah, yeah, post that again, Bob. Okay, I'm gonna copy this again. This is a must-watch, guys. I go over all of the different types of risk that you can layer on. Cause what separates us from others is the fact that we teach risk management. We talk about risk management. We make sure that you do not fucking blow up. Oh yeah. Everybody else is fucking bragging that they're down $100,000 and then they fucking break even on the trade. Bro, bragging. Like bragging like as if it was cool. Like what the fuck? Dude, you know what? Man, I fucking, I had two food streamers going on. Farmer and this other guy. And the other guy made Farmer look like a, like Warren Buffett, dude. Seriously. Yeah, the other guy was like, oh my God. He put his hands on his fucking like temple of his head and started fucking like praying that the stock will go down. Bro, he was sweating like a stuck pig. Did you see him? Dude, N-E-G-G. He started out at $34 to share something. He's stuck at 34. And then, and then he's praying to God. And I'm just like, God, this is pathetic. He's making these fucking voices. And I'm looking at like, dude, I'm afraid I'm gonna call the police so we can take him away, dude. He needs to like go into sanitarium or some shit. And then when he got bailed out, he started playing the Rocky music and put his hands up. We like Rocky Balboa, you know, like the movie. Like back from the dead. I'm like, oh my God. Meanwhile, this is where he was shorting. And he's like, you know, he's down like $80 to $100,000. And he came out like up 8,000. So we rest like his entire fucking banker. He basically blew out one account. He had to bring out a larger account to fucking to trade. So he goes, okay, I'm gonna bring out a larger account to try to work off this loss. It's like, oh, that's smart. So that larger account could blow us up. What do you do? You're gonna call your mom to bring out your fucking, you know, your fucking their retirement fund. I mean, this is the worst way to fucking educate someone to trade. Dude, let's not gloss over the fact that that may be the funniest thing I've heard in forever. Dude, he made farmer look like Warren Buffett. That's how bad this guy was. Dude, I think fucking like all the guys in that fucking nitwit don't fuck. Chat room was like, I'm doing farmer fuck this shit. So now we realize the first step is this sweaty guy. The second step is far more than the third is come to MIC and unlearn all the bad habits. So you lose half your money in this dumb ass. You lose the other half and then now you've got fucking peanuts left and you negotiate Tosh for a fucking like a $20 fucking off of the month. Trying to swindle me for a fucking annual, dude. Like, oh my God. I mean, I just can't take it sometimes, guys. It's like, oh, it's like a fucking guy that's like eating McDonald's like 50 pounds of weight which is like me. Trying to fucking do it. Try to give it a seminar on fucking eight minute apps and shit, you know. How to get a sick bag. And I'm fucking rolling in like eating hot pot, you know. Dude, that's exactly what it is, dude. It's like, you know what the hot dog eating contest got? It's like me being a fitness guru or fucking abstaining from sexism, Shane. Dude, I literally laugh more on these webinars than I do in my normal life, bro. Hey, Tosh, it's like me saying that I'm gonna give up the girls and all that shit. When we both know I'm lying, I can never give up girls. You know, I can't even join big stocks or girls, right? Yeah, seriously. Oh man, dude, so. Stocks is my bitch, though. Anyways, guys, I just can't believe some of this shit. Like, I mean, you have to see it to fucking believe. I wish I sure fucking recorded this guy. He was basically talking to himself and like praying to the fucking gods and shit that the stock was down. I mean, it's fucking ridiculous. I mean, I'm like, is this fucking real? Are people paying for this shit? If you guys go back in the main commentary this morning, dude, me and Bao were literally ranting on a huge live, like real time. It was unbelievable what this schmuck was doing to his members, man. So I don't know what's worse. Is he a half ass or a full ass or a no ass? No, is a half ass better than a full ass? I really don't know. So someone that knows these idiots better than I do is, seriously, so is a half ass better than a dumb ass? I mean, full ass or jackass? Dude, the fact that this guy made Farmer look like Warren Buffet just is like, I don't even know anymore, man. Dude, I mean, let me just give a little brief history of this guy. I don't know if I'm gonna keep picking on this guy, but I want to pick on this guy, right? I'm gonna give this guy a date trading. This guy was fucking opened up this fucking service, a pump and dump service trading penny stocks. He made money, he bought some fucking McLaren and then he fucking lost it. He basically said, I'm quitting day trading now, and then all of a sudden he cuts back. But that's not the thing. He made this fucking video. How to read level two in the fucking level two. First of all, he didn't have all of the ECNs in his level two. His level two had like four fucking market makers on it. Right? I'm like, what the fuck? That's your first red flag. He's like, I'm like, where's the rest of your fucking level two market makers and ECNs? It's like, and then he sees this fucking one more. He goes, dude, there's only 400 shares. And the next level was like 50 cents up. And I replied to him, I'm like, you dumb ass. You realize you can hide shares. Next, you know, he deleted that fucking video. He's not fucking making those. I'm like, this motherfucker doesn't even know that you can hide shares on the level two. He's reading a level two. I'll give you a fucking example now. Let me find an example. I think we probably have this recorded somewhere in our video library too. We're bound just down in this guy. So, you know, it's kind of like, he sees like a bunch of, like just like 200 shares, 400 shares, and he thinks that that's all it is on the offer. Meanwhile, the stock is trading like 50 million shares, right? Oh, good Lord. Yeah, he's doing all like Apple. Some days I can take it guys. Other days, I just want to like, like, dude, let's, let me hit, I want to, can I fucking raise my hand and be on his IG live? I guarantee you he's not on IG live. Oh my God. These guys, dude, I just want them like, I challenge any of these guys to a trade off. No shape, no pop. You can use, he can use this fucked up level two if he wants. And we'll just do a fucking one day trading. Simple. One hour of the first hour of trading and see what makes more money. Dude, it's not about making the money. You'll, my whole point is this, it's not about the female guys. Cause you know what, man? Every process, you can have an off day, right? This is the point is these guys have no process unless they have sheep. They're processed to load up on a low flow. This is their process, guys. They open up a scanner part. The scanner has on it, the float and they're sorting by the flow. Oh, this thing has low flow. I'm going to buy it, pump it to my guys. That's the first pump. Okay. And then since the stream on YouTube is delayed by like 10 seconds or whatever it is, or 15 seconds, that's the second wave of buying. And the second wave of buying, they are selling. You see how the pump works. They get in at first, it spikes up because of their room, their members spike it up. And then the another spike is from the YouTube stream from which they sell. So they never fucking lose. If they lose and they're the dumb ass, which they are dumb ass cause they do lose sometimes. You remember that nobody was ever YouTube live streaming until all of these guys figured out that there was a lag in that they could front run? Dude, that was the best thing that ever could have happened to them is the fact that they got a big lag to their audience. So they get in and it looks like real time to you, the audience, dude, it isn't. They plan that shit. Yup. Now everyone's on live stream, dude. Oh, good lord, dude. This is the most fucking, I'm just like, you guys are dumb as fucking shit. None of these motherfuckers can trade where shit. I'm calling you all out, guys. You want to come at me? Come at me. Let's fucking, let's get on the debate and let's figure out if you can trade or not. And if you have no business teaching guys, how are these guys being able to be fucking mentors? I mean, I mean, dude, Jesus, I don't, if I was a snitch, man, I would fucking make so much money by being a snitch. If you're lucky, I don't fucking work for the SEC. I would fucking go in there and all these motherfuckers, they go to prison, dude. But then again, I enjoy shorting them so I won't go to see shit. I encourage you. I know, right? Now, we really have to adapt our style, bro. If there weren't pumps in the small cap market, it's crazy, right? It's like, you know, this is why I teach you guys, dude. I teach you guys to fucking, that fucking, what stock was that? Bond. That's the shit. Bond. I'll show it. I'll pull it up side by side. Bond. Bond. James Bond. James Bond, he's where the fuck is that guy? Oh, shit. But anyways, you know, that's what it is, man. You see the holes and stuff. That's them fucking pumping it up. And then they walk away. And you know what they tell you? They go, oh, I have a disclaimer. You should not follow my trades. But you motherfucker, you're bragging about your trades and the fucking all the streamers. You should have gotten in this shit. I made a lot of money on this shit. I showed their P&Ls and then when you lose, well, you should have gotten in the trade because I'd made a disclaimer, you know? You guys think anybody, oh, sorry. Let me pull back. I'll do this angle. You guys think anybody who doesn't have a major following would have longed this bullshit right here with no volume unless they had a following. You're out of your mind and you don't understand trading. Who the hell would long right here, dude? Did Bond go up? No, no, no, no, I meant this morning. This is, we all excited, bro. No, no, no, no, no. That was like, let me get another pump. No, I agree, I'll show you the video library category. Sometimes I subscribe and just start posting these stickers so they can pump it so I can sort it. Exactly. But dude, this is the point that I'm trying to say guys is like, dude, you have to understand the mindset of a fool, of a conor, of a criminal. He's got a following, he knows if he gets in right here, it's so illiquid that he can get an artificial move and if he's delayed on YouTube, dude, where do you think this is gonna go? So again, this is the crookedness of the industry that MIC was born to teach you guys what to stay away from, dude. Dang, look at that fucking D-E-L-A, dude. Look at my fucking- Oh, Zella? I mean, he fucking went long on when I said that. Holy shit. That was a really good cut, bro. Here, let me, let me, let's blow this up. Straight again, let's blow this up. This doc was fucking hard, okay? If you pull out the two-day chart on it. Yep, right here. I'm gonna pull out the two-day chart on Zella. This is where we're talking about, guys. This is the main area we're about cut for a perfect cut. This is what we're talking about. This is the reason why I shorted this. This is like a low-hanging fruit. One of the, but the problem with the list low-hanging fruit, so the best low-hanging fruit, are the ones that happen at the open within 10 minutes. If after 15 minutes comes, cancel your shit. They're coming back at you and fucking kick your ass, right? So this is what happened, dude. Look at this, zombie hour. It's zombied at the 10-30 zombie rule. And then it fucking just went up and killed everybody. That are stubborn. And then, so take a look at where I cut it off. I cut it off where I realized this shit ain't coming down again. It was making a higher low. So I got out of the first mess. You see me trying to like average. I want to have a small size, so I only lost like $140 overall in the stock. So I'm not making, so I wasn't sized much. But the fact that, so usually 90% of the time, it would reject somewhere off of the VWAP because it came from way under VWAP, and I call that exhaustion. But then it did not drop. The moment it did not drop, that's why I knew shit is going to go wrong. So I started to cover on every dip, okay? And then what happened is I waited. I waited to see if I could get a double top. And you saw that one short at $294 or something like that, right? And then it didn't go down, dude. Barely went down. And three o'clock was coming, 3 p.m. rule. That's why I covered 3 p.m. rule. The fact that it broke, it did not go down. And I'm like, dude, it reclaimed where I shorted. And then what happened is it broke the high of day and sure enough, boom. So you have to understand time-based rules. You have to understand the fact that if VWAP reclaimed and held the VWAP, that's the key. The key is a lot of stocks VWAP reclaimed but does not hold the VWAP. It goes back down. This one bounced right back up once it went back down to VWAP. So this shit is strong. Now, it was a perfect cut-out because like you always talk about, this is one of my favorite moves if we are playing midday. Like you said, it's a long drop-off lows. It's a long journey to VWAP. It's sure to have tanked right here. It should have crashed especially lined up with this resistance. The fact that it didn't and you got a little bit stuck and I don't mean stuck, stuck just a little bit that you can work your way out of a position on dips like you did, like, which is what the discussion is right here. And then you try to attack right here and you get out on dips. This is average fixing. But then right here, do this cut is so freaking perfect based on the time-based trading when you should be out, when the edge is losing. Dude, the clock is ticking for your edge. This was a really, really good cut, man. This is what was special. I say it's like, you know, it's a closing time at the bar. I gotta get one last fucking drink before I cut that shit and get the fuck out of here. And I know about it and he does that in the bar. I'll get the clock. It's just closing. It's closing. I don't wanna get stuck here or something, you know? So the moment I came back close to where I was short, I said, screw this shit. It went down. It should have kept going down, but did not. And it's too close to 3 p.m. I rather just play it safe, dude. I rather not make money on this stock. This stock, I was long all day. Let someone else be wrong on it. I completely agree, buddy. I completely agree. Any stock that goes from way under VWOP to reclaiming and holding VWOP is an avoid short. It, you know, if I was a better trader, maybe I would have went long, but this stock already, I lost on it. And so when you lose on a stock, sometimes it's very difficult to switch bias on it. Imagine if I went long and I lost, dude. It would fuck me up mentally. That's still something after seven years, man. I just haven't really been able to ever do or master is if I lose on the short and I know it's long. Bro, it's so hard for me to pull the trigger and say, okay, now it's long. If that's a very hard thing to do. The thing was, I was not convinced enough to go long because this stock came from under VWOP. It was still kind of shaky. It was not a smooth continuous long. So if I was, so a lot of times you saw me like, I go from long to short and short to long, like in the morning on low float squeezers, because I am more confident. This stock is an end of day, any day anything can really happen to be honest, you know, it could squeeze up or it could totally tank down. Oh, and guys, for any of our members, man, two things with Stephen today actually, two things he created this list that is kind of like a rule set based guide on how to get started in MIC or just trading in general. So if you're a member, please download this today. And number two, Val, before we forget, there was also a giveaway today. So I just wanted to remind you, whatever time you want.

So it's honestly- Okay, you want to bring Stephen on? Yeah. Yeah, bring Stephen on, man. I'll come off, I'll stay here too, but bring Stephen on. Stephen, let us know if you're available right now or we could do it towards the end if you're not right now. Just let us know, buddy. Maybe he might be traveling or something, but Stephen's going to do something with this giveaway today. So it's really cool, man. Or someone is. Is it Stephen or is it JJ? I can't remember. Sorry, Stephen, I might have said the wrong name. I think it's JJ. Hey, it's JJ. I'm like, who's doing the giveaway? Oh, it's JJ. Okay, Stephen, you know what? Sorry, buddy, you're on the hook. Oh, JJ, are you ready to come on? We just volunteered Stephen to give away money. I'm like, Harry, are you doing the way too? Hey, we're giving away a lifetime membership. I think we nominate you, Stephen, to give away. Stephen's so cool, he's like, yeah, do whatever. Bring me off. JJ, are you available, buddy? We could bring you on and talk about this giveaway. Let me know if you're available right now. Or you even want to talk about it. Because what we're doing today, guys, okay, cool, let me bring you on there, pal. One sec, JJ. JJ, what's your tag name on trying to find you, pal? JJ, what are you listed under the participant's man? One sec, let me type that in. Now, it's not under the attendees. That's not what it is. Maybe something else. Once that, guys, we're gonna bring on JJ here in a second, I'm just trying to find him in the list. Is it just under James? Ah, thank you. All right, maybe that'll do it. Three, two, one, two, one. I still don't know what your tag name is. I can't find you, bro. Shit. I made enough today. Oh, I said I wanna show what my, I made on the small account, so I'm gonna show that. I can't look up through email, but... Can you hear me? Can you guys hear me? Yeah, Val, what are you doing? Yeah, well, he's doing that. Remember, I said, each week I do here, I wanna show the P&L on that little account that I was creating. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you doing that? Did you start that? Here, here, so, sorry, we gotta take it out. So I'm gonna take out another 15,000 this week, so. So look at the, the point is, look at the equity. You don't need, you don't need much. It was like 32,000 or something. You don't need much to make money. This is a smaller account I trade with. I have another account I trade with too, so I trade with like two or three accounts. But I just wanna show you guys, you know what, man, you can make really good money. Just follow the process. You don't need to be a gunslinger. You don't need to, this is a small amount of equity, guys, this, if I was making $4,000 a day, this is a million dollar a year, I'll have a $40,000 account, man. Yeah, post it, brother, let's see. Oh, shit, I posted on the watch list. I was like, what are you talking about, man? Oh, my bad. So every week I'll show you I did, just to show you the small account and you know, it adds up and stuff, so. So I'm gonna take all the money again. Every time I hit around 50,000, I take it off, so. I take about 15,000 off. Dude, that's so awesome, man. Start with 35,000 when you get up to 50, take it out, man. Or just wire out as you go, guys. Like you don't have to do what necessarily Cowan Alex do at this point. 32 last week, so. All right, JJ, I can't find you an attendees, brother. So just tell us what you're doing in Tex and we'll talk about it, buddy. I literally can't find you for the life of me, man. Just type the name that you registered under, JJ. I want him to bring on, because I probably wanna interview him. I'd love to bring him on, I'm just trying to talk to him. This gives me a chance to talk. I wanna really talk to you guys. I'll name every, I'll name every, dude, it's not under there, bro. It's not your tag name in MIC, it's your tag name in the webinar. You are Zoom. In the Zoom webinar, because if I type that in, I can't find you. When you join Zoom, they ask you for your email and all that name. James, I see a James here, but that's all it says, is that you? Are you just simple James? Oh, okay, cool, that's what I was asking earlier. Okay, cool. So let me bring you on. You should be good to talk. Hey. Yo, what's up, buddy? Hey, guys, what's happening? Santa Claus himself. Wait, is this JJ? This is the most lively JJ I've ever freaking heard. I love it, I love it. Yeah, JJ, it's me, guys. What's up, wow. How are you so happy, brother? I love it, I love this new thing. Shoot, man, I love, I love my life right now. You know, I just, I'm being taught so much, and I just... So before we do that, let's review. What have you been up to, and why are you so happy compared to before? Because JJ was making money. No, but you were making money before, but I think you're less stressed, right? Is that what's going on? Oh, well, we just had a new grandbaby, and I haven't been around for a while, guys. Honestly, because, shit, I gotta get my sleep, because that grandbaby shows up here at our front door with the parents by, you know, seven o'clock, and... It's messing up your training, brother. Huh? It's messing up your training. Ha, ha, ha, yeah, except that's not the first one, man. This is, I've got seven grandkids. Holy hell, dude. Jesus, that's good, man. That's a big happy good. But you know what I love, man? I love the fact that, you know what, man, JJ doesn't have to go to work anymore. This is his job. He chooses when he wants to work. Exactly, Bao. Exactly, and... So tell us what you're doing differently than before, because I remember you were sitting around all day before training. Now you're telling me, hey, man, you have a bigger picture aspect. Well, the thing too was that with the help of Bao, you know, I could not figure out my deficiencies in trading, guys. I just could not figure out why I could not make money. And Bao led me to a different train of thought, and then Joe Kelly. Joe, if you're out there, thank you. You know, it's just like, take what the market gives you, man. Don't be a greedy bastard. Yeah, because I remember JJ was always up and then he gave everything back, being greedy. Exactly. I was a greedy bastard. I'm the first to admit. I'd be up green. I'd take a green day, and I'd wind up red, and I could not figure it out. And then finally one day, I texted Bao and Bao got back to me and he said, dude, you know, you're greedy. And that's a hard pill to swallow, man. Because everybody's looking for the home run. Exactly, Bao. Exactly. Everybody's looking for the home run, and that was me. And then we talked about, oh, you know what, man, you remember, just, it's like in baseball, what's the home run for bases? How often do you get a single in trading all the time, right? Yeah, and the thing is, you know, I'm a softball dad. I sent both of my girls to Division I championship, rather colleges, playing Division I championship softball. And I, for whatever reason, forgot about how important the singles are, man. And when Bao put it out there, you know, he just says, stop, stop batting for home runs. And it clicked. And then I grew a very small account. I don't even, Bao, help me here. I don't remember when. It was way under PDT too. Yeah, oh, under PDT, right. And that was like last year and 2020 or whatever. But I got pissed because I'll tell you what, I got mad because my 1099 from trade zero was 98,000 bucks. Oh, you had the tax, but you could do it with a lot of money. What? What is this, right? And then I ran into my tax accountant and he says, buddy, you got to pay some bills here. And I said, well, I got the money to do that with. You're welcome to the worst part of trading. How much taxes go with it, right? Right. And so I was, I was, it's been good though. And those are, those are finally the good problems to have. Having to take taxes on wins, not having to do stuff though. Yeah, right, Bao. And the thing is, is that I doled out thousands of dollars to my daughter who put a bathroom upstairs in her house in New York. And that, that was, that was a good thing. And that, that was really costly. I paid for my MIC lifetime membership. And for me, mentally, my God, you guys have no idea what it means to not be burdened with a monthly or an annual fee that I have to pay. I'm like free of this and all because of MIC. I just, I, I, I pour my heart out to you guys for teaching me, man. Dude, I love that. Show, show, show people what you did today, man. It's very amazing. You know what, man, guys, people think that, hey, JJ, it wasn't one day and started banging out money. No, this was a long, long, long, long process. I've known JJ. I've seen him on Twitter for a long time. And I'm very happy to do that. Well, I appreciate it too. Thank you. Hey, so guys, I don't know how we should approach this about what my offering is. So I'll leave it up to you, Tosh and bow. I don't know if you discussed it yet. I just love the fact that you're offering this. You don't have to worry about this award. It's going to be in honor of JJ, but MIC will pick it up. So yeah, we're going to pick it up. And it was really just a thought that was the most, but basically JJ is giving this to whoever we do pick, but we'll cover the tab, man. But it's basically from JJ guy. This is the opportunity from JJ. So, you know, say it out, man. Guys, I'll do this. I mean, you know, I can afford this. And I just wanted to let anybody know that if you have any questions about your, your abilities as a trader, if you're questioning yourself, you have to give yourself time and with that, my proposal was to Alex and bow and, and you, Tosh, I will do the dole, man. I'll do the dole. I will pay whoever they pick for a one month free membership because I believe in MIC so much. I appreciate you JJ. You don't have to. This is the thought that counts because it's actually easier on accounting. I'll help you out there brother. Save that money for the tax man. The tax man is knocking this year. You know, I'm pretty sure you're up nicely this year. Knock on wood saying that you're going to need every penny to pay the tax. Well, and the, and the reason why we say this guys is cause, and the reason why we still want to bring JJ on, even though we were going to do this without even telling him is because dude, it shows what the community aspect of MIC is. It's not about even just trading. It's dude, JJ's been doing so well himself. He follows along the guidelines or he took it upon himself to follow along the guidelines that is the whole MIC mission is to pay it forward is to bring the elevator back down to some individual who's not living the dream life that JJ transition and evolved into. And we want that for all you guys. So dude, I mean, I mean this is all literally from JJ man. This was his idea. He came to us. He's like, I'm prospering so well. I came such a long way. I just want to give it to another. Like I want to. So, you know, dude, this is all JJ man. Seriously. Okay. And again, guys, I'm, you know, just tell me what to do. MIC and I, you know what, man, keep doing what you're doing. I love the fact you're helping inspire other. That to me is priceless. Every day is priceless. Right. And I think what's, what's really important here when you take a guy like Tom you take a guy like Tosh bow Alex James Friedlender, if you're out there buddy, um, you know, you guys give back so much to this community for me to give up 200 bucks. And I make that in like 10 seconds. Sometimes in a trading day is the least that I can do. And by the way, I'm going to trade right now. I'm shorting XCLA, right? And I've already made three times the amount of money that I wanted to contribute while we were talking. That's awesome. Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby. I love it. Love it. And so you people out there at MIC believe in yourselves. Listen to Tosh and Alex and James and Tom diesel. Uh, and, and all these mods, man. And, uh, I mean, listen to these guys because they are putting you on the right track. You know, and, and, and Chicago match Chicago trader Joe. Uh, you know, Aloha all these people. They're here at your disposal. And you guys just, you have to be patient with them and be patient with yourself. But what's really required is that you put your best foot forward and study. And that's all I got to say about that. I love it, man. Fall, fall the rules. It sounds simple, but it's very hard because you have to have discipline, guys. All it takes is one mistake as you see that these guys blowing up left and right on an EGG. If you have no willpower, just take that shit off the screen. There's no reason for you to look at any EGG and torture yourself. If you're on a diet and you shouldn't be watching the fucking food network, you would shit like that, so. The hot dog even got it. Right? JJ, the thing I always loved about you, man, not only do a lot of people don't know how long it took you and all the things that you've done and just staying just perseverance, man. But the thing that I love about your story, man, is you did big caps, you did small caps, you did, like, bro, you tried everything. And finally, you just really, really came to grips with what worked for you. And I know it took time, I know it did, but dude, you really put in the work, man, and you went through the ringer, brother, you did. So, you know, hats off to you for trying everything, man, and that's important. He never gave up, he never gave up, that's the thing. And you know, yeah, and that's so true, and every morning, guys, when I wake up and I come to my screens, I tell myself, you're good, don't give up, give it your best. Positive self-talk, baby. You have to say that to yourself because if you come to your screens with a negative attitude, if you've had some, a bad loss the day before, or you know, whatever, you just gotta come back with no fear, you've gotta come back with a more of a humble attitude, I would say, and just say, look, my goal for today is don't lose money. Simple as that. My goal for today is don't lose money. So share with everybody what steps that you've taken now to make sure that you don't lose your money back. Oh, my goodness. I have my max daily loss at my broker. I have an auto liquidation at my broker also, but I have a liquidation on each stock as well. That's good, that's what I recommend as well. Let's double protection. Right, and I practice humbly putting in my hard stops and sometimes I don't even wait for my hard stops to hit. I can look at the screen now and say, whoa, this is not good for me. I got a gut feeling about this one. And I'm out of here and I just closed the trade and it's so effortless, right? So effortless. This is the next generation type of trading mentality when you do not have to lose the max amount. There's so many traders out there that their mentality is I either go broke or I make my goal. They don't have the in between. So I see a lot of people either have max loss every day or they make the move of money. Yeah, like a little scalp or a max loss. This is ridiculous. So JJ is a completely right. I keep telling people, man, when you realize you're wrong, get the hell out. You don't need to wait for your max loss to be wrong. Thank you, Bob, and I do that. I just, I can just see when the charts going against me, I go, I'm out, I'm done. I don't need for it to hit my line or my stop, I should say, I don't need to wait. I need to just get out. And then when I'm out, I pat myself on the back because I was able to recognize a bad, that's the thing. Recognize a bad situation, right? And that's that intuition that traders, as we develop, develop, we can grow into. When you recognize a bad chart pattern or you recognize when that thing is going against you, there's no reason to hang out and wait for it to hit your stop. It's like, get out of town. Well, and JJ, that's what I was saying earlier in the first part of this webinar, man, is I was saying, you know, there really is like, I'd say for a guy who does not have bad habits, right? That comes in brand new, fresh. It takes like three months, I'd say, at the very least to really get your footing. And that's a really good case scenario because after that, you're just gonna develop these things that little nuances that you see, like JJ is seeing that hard stops are not just set a hard stop and let it hit or let it not hit. Like, if he feels like the trade's not right, dude, these are the things you really pick up. There's subtle little nuances as a professional day trader that you just get over time. And this is why the consistency and the repetition of being in a community like this where we talk about this, because maybe JJ sets a hard stop and it hasn't hit yet and me, Bow and Alex are all warning and he doesn't have a gut feeling about it. He's like, you know what, dude, I'm gonna cut it before and even saves himself money. So these are the tricks that you find, man. I love this, dude. Yeah, and one, I'll just add one more thing, guys. I know you're busy, you gotta go, but Tosh. Yeah. In addition to that thought, you know, it's exactly how you've said, you know, as traders we set parameters in the morning, we're up very early. Yes. We see pre-market highs, we see pre-market lows and we're setting lines there. We're seeing these differentiations on what the chart is starting to show us and we set lines there. We go to our watch lists. We go to main chat, which is, you know, mama from heaven because everybody's talking and that is so important. And so when we get into a trade, you know, you have those lines set and you see the trade not going for you is the ideal time to just say to myself, cut my loss. And that's what I do. When I cut my loss and many times it's, seriously, it's half of what it would have been. Yeah, I love what you said this morning when you said MIC main chat is your safety belt. Like the first hard stop in your trading is the fact that MIC has three mentors, 18 moderators in the same chat and we are all talking about the same four to eight stocks in play and we know who's long bias. We know who's short bias and what I mean by that is we just know what their comfort level is. We're not even biased like that's the whole point. So I love what you said right here is dude, the first hard stop is being part of the community. The second hard stop is actually planting that hard stop. Dude, I love that. Absolutely. And by the way, Alex, thank you for saying that seat belt and the MIC main chat is a seat belt. And for those of you that don't think so, you're not getting up early enough because if you aren't, you need to scroll all the way to the top and see what people are talking about. Right. And that's going to give you, it's like a divining rod. It's going to show you where the water is or where the water isn't. So check this out for comparison. Alex trades the first hour, but he's up two to three hours before that planting the trades. So the point is plan your trades and that's where JJ wakes up early. He's reading, he's planning with us. He's reading what we're saying. So there's a reason why I like my 5am. The market over here doesn't open until another hour and a half and 5am is already not in time for me. I'm already tired, right? But the fact that I'm up an hour and a half before planning these trades. So the entries, the exits that we plan, they're not by accident, they're not made up on the fly. JJ plans everything just like he's the top, right? He's up early. What time do you get up JJ? This morning I was up at like 2.50 and this is West Coast time. So I'm up and even coffee doesn't help me man. I'm just... Dude, what time do you sleep? You sleep like at 5pm? Well, Bao, you know, cause you're on the West Coast too, right? Well, Bao's not human. He goes to bed at 3am and can wake up at 5am. So he's not human, dude. Oh, yeah. That's a different story JJ. So, yeah, I'm back at it but I've got other family things going on and then just kind of like in between stuff but... But you know what, Bao, I love the fact that you can choose your own schedule, man. This is the point of learning to trade guys. Oftentimes that we become a slave when the true meaning of day trading is supposed to be freedom, right? Financial freedom to trade when you want to trade. So JJ is popping in here and he made, how much you made today, man? I don't want to say man. Just saying though. Motivate, motivate. Motivate everybody here. Motivation. Oh shoot, my screens just went dark. Hang on, I gotta shake my mouse around. Too much money, it broke the screen. It broke it down. Okay, yeah, I made 48.25. So, JJ is good for the next week or so. He can go play with his grandkids. JJ, you can sleep in late tomorrow if you want and wake up at 5am. No, no, man. I'm on a roll here because I see a lot of these low hangers, man. And I'm good. I love it. There we go. I love it. I love it. So, JJ, what he did was he went long today, right? He went long on XELA. Yeah, I went long, dude. I frickin' nailed it. Awesome. He went long. Where'd you go long? Where'd you sell? Oh, shit, I don't know, man. I can't even. You're becoming a good trader. Cause he's like me. I don't fucking know. Fucking make a million trades. I know, right? It's like, I just pay attention to the money now. All I know is tomorrow is a good fucking opportunity for a possible low hanger and lobby. So, I love it. JJ is going long. Waiting needs to go long. When the setup is a long setup. And tomorrow, when the setup becomes a short setup, he goes short. So, you are actually a very versatile trader, man. You can go both ways. You're swinging up and down, bro. I love it. Well, you know, and thank you for that, guys. But I have to say, you know, I have a lot of years of trading time. I guess I could say experience, but, you know, I was primarily a long trader before and was scared to short. I was just afraid of shorting. And I tried it with a few other chat rooms and they're not telling you the rule. They're not telling you the secrets, man. So- What do you think- They don't know the secrets. What do you think the secrets are? The secrets are to get comfortable with a room that first and foremost is honest with you. And you will find that at MIC. They're honest, man. They're telling you 24-7 what's happening as opposed to being involved in another room that is, you know, just calling out maybe alerts. I know that's this kind of, that's a very flagrant term, but not showing you what to do and not teaching you what to do. And at MIC it's completely the opposite. This is such a quality community of people. You have to stay with it guys because one month you might learn something, but two months you're gonna learn more, three months more, four months more and you're gonna start getting it because this is an honest community of traders teaching traders. JJ, one of my- Thank you, thank you. One of my, the last, I wanted to ask JJ this question specifically because obviously I never want to sound biased, right? Because people text my text line, they're like, Tosh, what would you start off with as an MIC member if you were doing it all over again? And the last thing I want to assume is people think I'm just trying to push an annual over monthly because it's more expensive, right? That's never, dude, when traders coming and they're brand new and they're like, Tosh, what's my best fighting chance? I'm like, brother, the accelerator course and annual is the best frickin' start because you're going to have the time to find your identity. And I want to ask you, do you think that that's accurate is because one month while it's good and you're gonna learn a lot of stuff is just, it's not enough to sink your teeth and really catch a groove, right? Like you're gonna understand, but man, that three month mark, that five month mark, the results you start seeing at seven to a year, it's just, isn't it light year's difference? Oh, yeah, absolutely. And I think Bao can relate to this, right? For the computer business, garbage in, garbage out. But if you're taking in good stuff, then on the outset, you're learning good stuff. And MIC has all the tools, man. The accelerator course. I mean, oh my God, the videos, everything. And plus you can just look at main chat and just watch people talk and look at your screens and see why they're talking about a particular ticker, for example. And you just can't be rust people if you're new to this. You have to put in the time to study. And if you're a good studier, I believe personally, like I am and like I was when I came to MIC, back in 2018, by the way, everything's, all the resources are here. You just have to figure out how much time you wanna put in and what you put in and what you wanna get out of it, I would say. Yeah, great, great, man. You're the model citizen, bro. You are the perfect example, man. And we're honored to have you, bro. And we're gonna continue to see you flourish and your journey is only gonna get bigger and better. And I tell everybody this, man, the moment you finally have the a-hole moment, do not fucking lose all your money back and wants to betrayed. I see so many guys out there which are not part of MIC, obviously. They're on Twitter, they beat the chess and they drop $20,000 in one trade and there goes their entire account, right? And I'm like, well, where's your daily max loss? Where are all these rules? Because what happens is, man, when you start making money, a lot of the time you get loose, a lot of times you get too overconfident. You start to break the rules because sometimes breaking rules make a lot of money. So you break your rules and you make money and next thing you know, dude, the one ultimate, you get naked. We're gonna call that not naked. And the EGG, like that's not the thing, you get naked when you lose your account. I love the fact that JJ is quite all of his accomplishments and success recently, he is protecting himself, dude. He's not driving the car without a seatbelt and a seat in an airbag and a fucking bumper and all of this safety measures, right? So the end of the day, guys, the end of the day when it comes down to his risk management, that's what defines every successful trader. Every successful trader you know is not gonna give back their entire fucking year on one trade ever, ever not gonna wish. Right, right. Hey, well, so guys... So how do we pick? Yeah, how do we pick? Is it a... We're gonna have to go to YouTube? Yep. And... I can pull that up. Wait, who on YouTube is not a member? Just say, not a member, not a member. Yes. Guys, spam not a member and we'll pick one of you. And then JJ is gonna give a number and I'm gonna count off or something. I will figure out something. Guys, spam not a member on YouTube, the YouTube guys in the comments, if you can. We're gonna try to filter out who's not a member who can get a free membership for a month. I think you're a member. Not a member, not a member. Okay. Why aren't you guys members now? All right, cool. What are you guys gonna come in? This is so cool, right? Too fun, man. Hey, we'll do this, man. We'll do this. If we're gonna pick someone, whoever we're gonna pick guys, you have to fucking work your ass off because JJ is giving this and then we're gonna match him as well. So we're gonna have two free ones, okay guys? Oh, two free ones, okay. All right, man, that's cool. Yup, yup, yup. So how are we gonna do this? Pick a letter, JJ, pick a letter. Pick a letter. Random letter. Random letter, let's go with S. S. Okay. So whoever's name is S. So the first one with S, let's see, let's see. And then pick a second letter. Oh my gosh, where does not a member start? A vowel. A vowel, picking a vowel. C, C. That's a consonant, pick a vowel. Oh, pick a vowel, A. S, A. Okay, S, A, I'm looking, I'm looking, dude, I'm looking. Oh, S, A, Sarvesh Maria, not a member. Good, there we go, the first case that we talk. That's one. All right, okay, so S, A, say that one. Pick another consonant. Okay, hold on, hold on one second, now let me just, guys, for anybody who wins this, so Sarvesh Maria, take a screenshot and then text my business line and I will get you in, that's how I'm gonna get you in. You must take a screenshot and then, yeah, so, and then we'll talk about it and I'll get you in, but okay, so what's the, who's picking? No, you pick another letter, just pick another letter, doesn't matter what letter. Let's go with, let's go with T for Tosh, and then. No, no, no, Tosh, I want James to pick. Oh, James, oh, oh, I was like, good, I'll just pick my name, I'll start with a vowel, this is a matter, okay. Okay, a vowel, okay, well, let's go with E. E, all right, all right, you guys have the first E and that was, give me another consonant this time. EL, EL, anybody named EL? Oh, maybe, maybe, that might be harder, but let's see. EL, do the Reno. All right, oh, shit, there's an EL, what? What? Yo, Elena SPB1. All right. Oh, shit, so what you both named? There, Elena SPB1, I can't believe we just found an EL, that's hysterical. There's so many people that, people love freestyle. You claim your free membership, I need you to take a screenshot of this chat, obviously, and you signed in as your member logo and text me and we will get you both in. Love it, guys, I love it. I love it. I love it, man, how frickin' fun. Yeah, we're gonna do some reggae, I love it. You know, I wanna add this two cents, my two cents worth in before I go to everybody that's listening and this is what the MIC community is about. There's no scams going on, guys, it's just about people taking care of people. That's what a community is about. And when we can come out and just say, we want to help somebody, that's a very nice thing to do. And I hope that people view MIC is that kind of a community because it's a beautiful thing. I love it, that's the whole point of MIC, man. That is the whole point. It's not a one-man show, it's not a three-man show, it's an everybody show, that's the point. So we got the two winners, Posh and Lena, and what's the other person? Oh shit, I forgot, Alina and Sarvesh, Sarvesh Maria and Alina, two chicks, nice. Good. So guys, claim, just send me a text. You gotta prove to me that you're signed in and it's your account, obviously, of the winners. And JJ, you're a frickin' legend, that goes without saying. And dude, what a sick webinar, man, seriously, seriously. This is awesome. This is fucking amazing, guys. All right, rules, text Posh, Posh give you a number again.
