 All right guys, I'm gonna clean up the lens, I'm gonna get started. All right, what's up everyone? Today's Monday, today's YouTube Live Day, so if you guys don't already know, I come on here every single Monday at 11 a.m. market time because I trade for one hour a day, I trade between 9.30 and 10.30 a.m. market time, and then I come on here around 11 a.m., you know, 30 minutes in between 10.30 and 11 to kinda get my shit together and then here we are. So I haven't really been posting on Instagram much, I haven't been posting much on YouTube for the last week because there was some identity theft under my name, so someone stole my identity, someone opened up like three or four credit cards under that identity, they charged a bunch of shit, and they never paid it back, so my credit score went down, I went to the police station, I'm doing an investigation, I'm hiring lawyers, so it's been a really big mess for me guys, someone stole my identity, go figure, so I mean, I didn't know you guys should lock your credit, I did all that stuff now, so yeah, that's kind of where I've been the last couple days, that's why I haven't been posting the last couple days, I've just been really busy dealing with that stuff, so the title of this video is how I made a million, $1.4 million in four months, so what I wanna do first, guys, I wanna show you guys my broker statement, okay? So let me pull that up right now, give me one second. Okay, so right here guys is Hilltop Clearing, so the broker I use is called Success Trader, and Success Trader clears through Hilltop, just like Cobra clears through Wedbush, Success Trader clears through Hilltop, so I'm gonna log in to my account right now so you see, okay? After I sign in, give me one second, don't wanna show you the sensitive account number, account information shit, give me one second, okay? So here I am, give me one second, gains and losses, okay? So here I am guys, you can see gains and losses, okay? You can see my entity, okay? You can see my entity right here, Time is Trader, so what I'm gonna do is realized, year to date, and submit, so we're loading, still loading, still loading, a lot of trades here. Okay, so here's my profits for the year, $1,437,535.84 sets, it was my total profit in the last four months guys, so I just wanted to kinda show you that just to start, so you guys can see that it's real, you guys see that it's legit, and you know that everything else I'm about to say is normal and clear. So the reason why I'm talking about this, and the reason why I'm showing you guys my profits today is because I wanna kinda talk to you guys, I wanna kinda talk to you guys about the market we're in this year, in 2022. What happened guys is in 2020 and 2021, everyone made money in the stock market, you could close your eyes and you could make money in the markets, but what ended up happening is everyone that made money in 2020 and 2021, they gave it all back in 2022. So I know a lot of people that are struggling in this market, I know a lot of people that are not making money in this market because they're not traders, they're gamblers, right? You know in 2020 I made $1.5 million, in 2021 I made a little bit over $3 million, and this year in 2022, when people are losing millions of dollars, when people aren't making any money at all, I'm still up $1.4 million in the last four months guys. So the key to trading is having a strategy. The key to trading is not gambling and pulling the dice, the key to trading is having something that is repeatable. In this bear market that we are in, it seems like the MIC guys are the only people that are making money in this market, and I'll admit is not easy to make money in this market, but we have a strategy that works in every single different type of market condition that's out there. And if me, your mentor is over here making millions of dollars in a year where people aren't making any money at all, I mean that's pretty impressive guys, it's pretty impressive. So I want to kind of come on here and let you guys know that there's still opportunities to make money in this market. There is still opportunities to change your life in this market, but the problem is so many people are struggling because they follow the wrong people. Sure you could have made money in 2020 and 2021 just like 99% of fucking people that were in the stock market, but if you pay attention very closely, a lot of people are struggling right now, so that kind of brings me to my next point. So I get a lot of DMs, I get a lot of questions, I get a lot of feedback every single day, all day long, nonstop, right? And the number one thing that people are asking for is they're asking for help, right? A lot of people are struggling, a lot of people are not making money, a lot of people want to be helped, right? And MIC is the Harvard of day trading education, right? And because we're the Harvard of day trading education, there's a little bit of a barrier to entry. The reason why there's a little bit of a barrier to entry is because we only want serious people. We want people that are gonna put in the work, we want people that are gonna understand that this thing takes time, right? You know, some traders get it in a month, some traders get it in a year, some traders takes 10 years to get it. The problem is that if you come into this market trying to get rich quick, like in 2020 or 2021, it's not gonna work anymore. It just doesn't work, it's not real, it's not, it's not existing. It's almost like the market has been bleeding out every single person that made money the last two years and giving it to the educated people that actually have a strategy. So what I want to kind of do guys is, you know, I thought about it and I thought about it and a lot of people have reached out to me to bring back the monthly membership. And the reason why we haven't brought back the monthly membership is because people are not serious when they sign up for the monthly. They sign up for a month and if they're not having a Lamborghini in one month, they're like, shit, this thing isn't for me, this thing is not gonna work, I don't get it, it's not for me. But in a market where people are struggling, in a market where people are losing a lot of money following the wrong people and not really knowing what they're doing, I mean, shit guys, I'm up million dollars, 1.4 million dollars, so I wanna find a way to kind of try to give back to you guys to the people that can't afford to join the annual membership. So I talked about, I talked to the team and what we're gonna be doing is for one week only, we're gonna be bringing back the monthly membership. So if you go to myinvestingclub.com slash spring, S-P-R-I-N-G, we're gonna have a spring promotion for you guys to join the monthly. There's gonna be two options. Option number one is the regular monthly membership. The regular monthly membership is gonna come with the accelerator course. The accelerator course is a seven hour course to teach you that you don't know anything about day trading to placing your first trade in seven hours, that's all that comes with. Or we're gonna have a quarterly course. What that means is every three months, you renew and in that you have the accelerator course, you have the boot camp where you get to watch me about trade life. We're gonna pick one person to win a free annual membership. And I'm also gonna pick one person to win a free one-on-one mentorship phone call with me. So this is your opportunity guys, if you've been on the fence about MIC, if you've been curious about MIC, if you've been struggling in a different community and not making much money in a different community, this is your opportunity guys to learn for a discounted price and see if this is for you, right? Because at the end of the day, whether you join or you don't join, we're gonna be here trading and we're gonna be here making money anyway. I wanted to prove to you and I wanted to show you that even in a bear market, even in a market where people are making no money, people are struggling, people are losing millions and millions of dollars, I'm over here still making millions of dollars because I'm not a gambler, I have a strategy, right? And the strategy is repeatable guys. So after this week, we are not bringing back the monthly membership for the rest of the year, okay? I feel so bad for so many people following all of these scammers. If you look on YouTube, if you look on Instagram, if you look on Facebook, no one's flexing their Lambo anymore. No one's flexing their watches anymore. No one's flexing their wads of cash anymore because they lost all their money. They lost all of their money and the people that followed these people lost all their money too. There's even people being investigated by the FTC, people that are being investigated by the SEC. And that is not us. That is not us, we've never been investigated, nothing like that, we do everything clean guys. There's no pumping, there's no dumping, there's nothing like that, it's pure education. It's like you're going to the Harvard update training. So again guys, mindvestingclub.com slash spring. This is your opportunity to sign up and hey, if you don't wanna sign up, that's totally cool of me. I'm still gonna be trading, I'm still gonna be making money, I'm still up a million dollars on the year, but if you're down this year, if your guru is down this year, if your mentor is down this year, then hey, maybe it's time for you to find somewhere else, right? Anyway guys, so what I wanna do now is I wanna kinda open it up to a brief audience Q&A so we can answer some questions on your trades and then we'll take it from there. So do you guys have any questions guys? What are you guys struggling with in this market and how can I help teach you guys what to do, right? The market's not easy right now, it's not easy right now. And the reason why the market's not easy is because the strategy that you thought was a strategy last year is not strategy, it was pretty much gambling. So if you find yourself gambling in this market, if you find yourself giving back a week or a month or a year's worth of gains in one day, you are gambling, okay? Over here we don't gamble. We preach risk management, risk. Risk, risk, risk is everything. The most professional hedge funds, the most professional prop firms, they have a guy whose job, they pay this guy, he's called the risk manager. His job is to make sure that you manage your risk. So as normal retail traders that we don't have a risk manager, our risk manager is the max daily loss auto liquidation. Max daily loss auto liquidation is what is going to save your account, okay? So if you make $100 a day, you set your max loss auto liquidation to $100, that way you don't lose more than $100 worth of your trading. And sometimes, sometimes guys, that max loss is gonna be the difference between you being a profitable trader or you being a broke trader, okay? So again guys, do you have any questions? This is your opportunity. While you have a millionaire that just showed you their broker statements for millions of dollars. Ask your questions so I can help you. And if you don't wanna ask, you're not gonna be helped. There's no better opportunity than to learn in these markets because if you could conquer these markets, if you could dominate these markets when everyone else is losing, imagine how much you're gonna make when the market is hot again. This is just a slow market cycle. This is a sell cycle. Everything in the market is being fucking sold off, right? And that's gonna change, you know? Okay, so I have some questions coming in right now. What is the best way to trade trappy stocks like RDBX? Nail and bail, don't hold for big moves, don't hold for anything crazy, nail and bail. I tried to short stock VWAP rejection. If the stock doesn't hit the watchlist lines, it seems like that has been a low probability setup lately. Is it still a good setup to use? Yeah, if the stock rejects VWAP, then you can attack. But if it doesn't get there, don't just short weakness for no reason. What size stop would you use for VWAP rejection? I mean, that depends for you. You should use a VWAP reclaim. So if your trade is a VWAP rejection, you should be using the VWAP reclaim as your stop. Show us your bank balance. It's millions and millions of dollars, motherfucker. It's way more millions than you have. What is your acceptable drawdown when you're accepting a home run? Well, that's different, guys. Every trade is different. So for example, on AMC, my biggest trade error where I made $700,000 in a day, I think I drew down maybe like 100,000 or 150,000. I don't remember, maybe not even to make 700,000. So every trade is different. I'm not gonna draw down fucking 150,000 on every single trade. But when the opportunity is there, when I could do that, then hey, I'm gonna try to do it. But right now, when I'm just scalping around, I'm not risking so much money, guys. I'm only risking big money when there's a big opportunity. What is your A-plus setup, a first red day setup? If you don't know what a first red day setup is, go watch a bunch of the free videos we have. Main question is, what do you funnel your trading income into? I mean, guys, I funnel, it depends. This is not trading, I mean, this is not investment advice. What I do is what I do with my money. What I do is I funnel it into indexes. I funnel some into crypto. I funnel some into real estate. I funnel some into venture capital. I add like an octopus with tentacles. I put my tentacles in a bunch of different locations. Yeah, so what I did today, guys, I'm starting to do a pre-market prep. So what I'm doing is around 9.20 a.m. I'm making a video watch list of my top ideas on the day. Seems like you guys really liked it. So I'm gonna bring that back starting today. I mean, longest drawdown, I think my longest drawdown was probably for like a month straight. Not losing every single day, but like probably about a month of just straight like red P&L. Stock selection. How do I choose the stocks to trade every day? What I look for is the highest percentage gainers and then I narrow it down. So if you go to the myinvestingclub.com slash videos and you type in how Alex makes his watch list, you'll see how I make my watch list there. Well, we have the same access on your monthly quarterly membership as annual and lifetime members. No, so the annual and lifetime members get special exclusive videos, but as a monthly member, you just get the accelerator and if you sign up for the quarterly, you get the accelerator and the bootcamp. But if you're really serious about learning and you truly, truly, truly wanna learn, then DM me once you join, I'll give you access to the annual videos. I have no problem with that. Did you buy the Orange Eventador? No, I went to Vegas for a bachelor party and I rented it for the bachelor party. Yeah, guys, the monthly membership is back available for a week at myinvestingclub.com slash spring. I have a video on that landing page as well so that you guys could see what I'm talking about. Yes, you have access to the daily watch list when you sign up for the monthly membership. And the daily watch list is the same watch list that I use to execute every day.
