I also show you guys my charts I show people what I'm trading and trust me guys I am writing nine out of ten times. I don't just come here. Just yeah, I show people charts Entries in exits and stuff like that how to make money from the charts real life stuff I'm not here to show up any bloody cars or any of that. I want to help you guys make money So do yourself a favor and smash that subscribe button. You got five seconds. Okay, smash it five four three two one All right guys, so let's kick things off. Let's kick things off I want you guys to be very relaxed So this is a conversation from one very experienced og in the game to you guys who are obviously coming up in the game And you want to learn some cool stuff you want to learn how to do what I do, right? So some background story. How did I even arrive at 150 million dollars because not everybody gets to do this, right? It's it's quite different, right? I remember I go for a couple of interviews and everybody's so like, how did you sale a hundred and fifty million dollars? How did that? How did all of that happen? It's just some quick background story I used to manage funds when I was a lot younger Just playing around here and there and stuff like that And then I obviously kicked off this YouTube channel that you guys can see and I just used to come on here And I was just simply share my analysis that I was obviously treated I was placing on my personal account and accounts that I used to On accounts that I was managing at the time. So maybe accounts I was managing maybe 500k one mil You know, maybe 2.5 mil nothing too tough, right? And then they saw my trading analysis and they were like, I think what actually stood out was the fact that I was right So many times like I'm right nine out of ten times if you check my YouTube channel You realize that I'm actually I'm a very spot on guys when it was spot on guy when it comes to my analysis and my projection So what did they do they reached out to me flew me out to the office It was in a different city sent the private jet check my social media You see all of that and then got there offered me 50 million dollars sign a contract took it manage it for 12 months after that When it was time for me to renew my contract and then I flew back there again And they were like, oh, we want you to keep managing the money Actually, we're gonna add some more money then added about 30 something M And then that's exactly how the figure obviously I rise so 150 obviously is more than 150 now because I've been doing some training Since January, but obviously the market has been opened down the whole place So we haven't actually grown into like maybe 50% or 60% or anything. That's all but that's by the way That's exactly how I arrived at the hundred and fifty million dollar mark where everybody's like wow this guy's amazing I love what he's doing now. That's some background story how the money came about now That's by the way in all of this. What have I learned? What do I have to share with you guys for those of you guys who want to achieve Something like this. How exactly should you go about it now guys the very first thing I'm gonna be and I'm gonna be very honest We think I'm very blunt with you guys. I'm gonna tell you guys everything exactly how it is in my mind and it is in my heart Your trading skill is so important Guys, you can have the best trading Psychology book you can have the best this the best risk management this and blah blah if your trading skill if you have Not sorted out your technical analysis guys Go and sort it up right now because what will make you stand up as your trader is your ability to be wrong or right? Don't let anybody kid you forget about those guys on Twitter who are dropping Twitter thread about all do this Discipline yeah, yeah, yeah, I get discipline like yeah be disciplined I'm gonna speak about discipline much later on but the very first thing you need to hack the very first thing you need to do You need to get your technicals on point Okay, because once you are technically savvy even when you have Miss maybe you probably make mistakes whereby your risk management is a bit off and stuff like that because your win rate guys This game is about win rate I'm not gonna lie to you You have to win more times than you lose because we are straightest tend to get complacent when it comes to a risk management Sometimes we think we've calculated it the right way and all that at the end of the day if your trade is going in your favor You don't really have to worry like let's be honest guys You don't really really have to worry that much about your risk management worry about it But I'm just saying like if you're right most of the time like things like that You know bottom line get your technicals on point for me I've been doing this 12 years now And it's taking me a very long time for me to arrive at a strategy that I like very much for this guy He's been following me the longest my favorite strategy that I developed myself and I share with almost everybody who's on the forex mastery program It's called the top-down analysis now guys. This might be of interest to you Especially for people who want to go on to manage a lot of money So the top-down analysis is a situation whereby rather I say it's a it's an approach to forex whereby I go on Higher time frames and I look at the overall picture. What exactly is happening in forex or what exactly? You know is the market up to I didn't identify the bigger picture trend Straightforward the bigger picture trend for example Let's look at maybe a UDUSD, which is one of my favorite pairs if the monthly time frame tells me is trending downwards All I need to do is use the weekly Use the weekly to map out my levels and then I come and execute come scale that I don't trade on higher time frames I use them for analysis and then I scale down to lower time frames and I trade in that direction Guys this strategy without a doubt. I'm not gonna lie to you guys is what has helped me so far It's what has kept me this long in the game And it is what has built my brand is big and it is what has made investors want to like guys The times when investors are calling and literally can't pick up the phone because we don't have space to accommodate their money We literally don't have space to accommodate So I owe all of this the very first point the very first thing I've learned the very first thing I want to share is I want to Give a special shout out to my strategy Which is called the top down analysis like I just explained to you guys because with that I can project thousands of people thousands of people into the future and then once I scale down to load time frames and Training that particular direction. I just close my system down And we don't literally have to trade that much because think about it guys I'm projecting 2,000 people into the future and I've got a hundred and fifty million US dollars sitting in a trading account All I need to do is take a little percentage of that around and not all I need to do all I do is just take a percentage I was about 3% and then I just put it in the trade and won't trade and because I've projected almost a thousand a thousand Family people into the future if you're risking maybe about 70 pips with the 3% So let's just say you're risking about a hundred pips right 3% if that pair goes on to For about a thousand pips which does take time so you're looking at anywhere between 46 weeks before you hit target But for me, I prefer that anyways back to what I say So think about it 100 pips stop loss 3% and the trade eventually takes six weeks to hit 1,000 pips guys. Do you know what that is? I Have done that's a 10 to 1 risk to reward that is 30% One trade and I still kept my risk very very low This gives me a lot of peace of mind because I'm not always in front of my screen constantly trying to look for Opportunities and clicking buttons and all that stuff all of that is you know If you realize most day traders most people who are always in front of their computers actually never get making this far That's just the truth because they're constantly looking at their charts and every day You know wanting to you know jump into the market in and out looking for opportunities and at the end of the day They end up messing up their trading accounts Guys for those of you guys who are wondering, you know how you can learn how to do the top-down analysis You guys are lucky I've put it together as a program on the forest mastery program The link is in the description as always Forest matches in the description or around here some of my team always puts it here Do yourself a favor and ensure to grab it The most important thing when it comes to this trading game is your approach your ability to be right Nine out of ten times and the good thing about the top-down analysis is guys You find out that your strike rate is a lot higher Why because it is pure price action no signals no indicators you plot your levels properly You understand the flow of the market and you can then use that strategy for example when I go for meetings And maybe they ask me what do I think about oil prices for example? You have to understand that these funds I invest a lot of money They have chief investment officers We have board meetings right because of the fact that I am skilled when it comes to price action and thanks to my top-down analysis Which I teach on the forest mastery program Thanks to the knowledge I have when they ask me questions like what do you think's gonna happen oil? What do things gonna happen with this? I simply open up my chart and I do a top-down analysis And I know exactly what is going to happen curtsy of this so you can use the strategy for all Market as long as price is moving the top-down analysis is gonna work So the very first thing that I want to show to you guys is your trading skill is King and that is exactly what is responsible for what Apple will is is today And that's exactly what is responsible for the hundred and fifty million dollars And that's always exactly responsible for my success today. So if you want to achieve this kind of success skill up Get your skill if you don't want to talk that analysis is up to you for those of you guys that want it And sure to grab it is gonna change your life So number one thing I've learned so far is getting your trading skill right and guess what guys the money will come Okay, so the second thing I've learned in all of this obviously magic a lot of money is the fact that you need money You need capital you need and you need a lot of it now I see a lot of prop firms springing up here and there, you know offering people money and stuff like that Blast a blast that but the problem is a lot of people just cannot pass these challenges Why because strategy is probably wrong and secondly these problems just have Unreal like they know that most traders are not going to be able to pass these challenges And I don't know why they do this, but it is rather unfortunate So what my team and I have decided to do most recently is to actually launch our own very version of our program It's going to be called Willis capital I think they're working on obviously putting together the platform as we speak I'm supposed to have a meeting with them next week So good news for now willis capital is going to be funding students on the Forex mastery program So you have to be a student of willis university Which obviously have the forex mastery program and have because I'm not going to be funding traders that I don't know where they Got their trading skill from like I'm not gonna give you my money because it's my money, right? It's my money. I'm not getting money from elsewhere all this money that I'm making from forwards and stuff like that I will then be putting it in to willis capital whereby traders can get funded, right? So it's only only available to students on the forex mastery program Once again, if you haven't already grabbed the cost is so cheap is $99 the link is in this I don't know it might be $99 as I went and recording this video It might have gone up in price my team get really crazy with this But if you get that the price has gone up and sure to get it because it might even go higher again This one that obviously we're about to launch a prop firm and stuff like that So once again, we're going to be launching willis capital now the difference is And the difference is so I want to launch a prop firm that has the kind of conditions that can suit my style of trading Like remember I said to you guys earlier like my trading skill the top-down analysis has brought me, you know this far He's brought me, you know It's pretty much build my name and build my brand however I'm going in for a thousand pips a thousand five hundred pips Most prop firms will not give you the time for your trades to materialize You have to pass your challenge really in a certain time. You have to do this. You have to do that When it comes to willis capital like I told the the I told my team and there is obviously going to be a CEO Of willis capital, which is not going to be me because I have a lot other stuff to run Obviously it's going to be mine. Um, I told them I said listen You have to rather we have to make the trading conditions Conducive for forex traders who want to hold their trades for a period of time Because we all know that the reason why a lot of trades are unable to pass their training challenges Is because I mean you're giving people short time frames to trade, you know You're pretty much tailoring the prop firm Accounts to gamblers and day traders and stuff like that And we both know that most traders who trade like that like that actually don't make a lot of money They actually never get to make it big in this game So I like I said told them that the conditions in which traders will pass their challenges The conditions in which traders are going to get funded have to be the kind of conditions that I preach about Have to have to be trading methodologies that I preach about and like I said earlier Why are we giving traders a time frame to pass a challenge? No, I don't want that I want everything to be relaxed Hold your trades for as long as you need to hold your trades for So that you can pass the challenge and get funded and when you indeed get funded the restrictions are going to be less Obviously, we're not just going to be allowing you to trace like trade like a mad passing. I'm not going to do that But like guys come on, you know that always you know how I like to trade Guys when you're managing accounts like a hundred and fifty million dollars I don't have investors breathing down my neck. We only speak on a quarterly basis Sometimes we don't even speak at all Sometimes I hold one trade sometimes I don't have any trades to place at all and nobody's bothering me about passing no damn challenges So the way my investors treat me is the same way I am I am now an investor and I want to treat the traders who are going to be coming on Willis capital So I think uh, I don't think I was supposed to have announced this on this video But yeah, we're working behind the scenes to make sure it's good because a lot of prop firms reached out to me Um, sorry, I'm digressing to get a bit from obviously what I was talking about But I feel like this is very important for me to share A lot of uh Prop firms reach out to me for endorsements because obviously we are almost at a hundred thousand youtube subscribers They wanted me to sign on board with them and I was like, I don't really like your style of doing business Man, you guys are just out here for the profit. You don't really care about these traders. Let's be honest Let's be honest. You guys don't really give a shit about and I just said imagine if I wasn't at Willis Imagine if I was one of the traders out there struggling So you guys have just come to rip me off. No, no, no So I refuse to sign any contracts with any prop firms to promote them I said now what we're going to do is we're going to do things differently Like I said at the beginning of this video. I'm here to save the forex industry people think I'm joking People think I'm capping but I'm saying the truth But the problem is a lot of people really don't listen to me when I tell them less is more trade less Trade less only go for the high quality and high probability setups. Okay high quality High probability not too many less is more when it comes to being profitable in this game So obviously that's my second point trading capital. You need money to make money And I don't know maybe I might put two million dollars in the in Willis capital of five billion dollars But we're not going to take on everybody at a go. So we're only going to select the first few applicants Okay, I'll talk about this in more detail in another video But I just wanted to share this because when it comes to capital Like there's no more point in talking about you have to have capital you have to have capital and people don't have capital I need to now provide the capital for you guys. So it's exactly how I'm going to do it You need capital to be able to be a big dog in this game And the kind of capital you should get is the kind of capital that you should have peace of mind Trading not the one that you have to pass several challenges and at the end of the day You don't have anything to show for it. You don't have any trading capital all of that And we all know that you can't go and rob the bank to drinking get capital can you now you can't do that So second thing like I said earlier guys is capital capital is very important And not to worry dapple will is in conjunction with its capital and release university We'll be giving you some decent amount of money to trade. So there you go guys number two is capital three thing that I've learned so far Okay from managing a hundred and fifty million dollars asset on the management is having very realistic expectations now When I was obviously new into the game You know, I just used to look about forex like I remember one time I think what nfp was coming up and stuff like that, you know, and I told everybody in my living room like yo guys I'm gonna buy you. I'm gonna buy you and iPhones I think I had maybe like 1500 dollars in my trading account. I like you'll listen by the time I'm done with nfp now I'm gonna buy everybody iPhone iPhone for you mommy iPhone for your iPhone for everybody and then nfp came You know what happened? I blew the account. This was maybe maybe like maybe like nine months into trading Now what actually happened there was I had very unrealistic expectations forex doesn't work like that You might get lucky people do get lucky And I actually feel very sorry for traders that get lucky because they think that's how the market works But actually doesn't work like that. Now. What has helped me so far managing 150 million dollars is very rare I have very very if I'm a really my real list my reality buys even very Big low realistic expectations. So what that simply means is I really don't expect the market to do anything for me I don't expect much from the game when I get into a trade. I'm not really hopeful I'm just I'm just here to analyze and just do what I'm supposed to do and what listen Whatever the market gives me or gives you you have to take it hold it and chill, bro Chill with your whatever market gives you take it and relax For those of you guys who are new to this game you're coming to this game. No, you will not make a million dollars in your first year You will not buy that Ferrari in your first three months that one for that five hundred dollar account. You cannot Sustain it up to a hundred. Even if you do before you get a chance to redraw it There's something called greed inside of you. You will destroy it yourself. I'm not casting anybody I'm not telling anybody that they can't do it and blah blah. I'm not trying to say nobody's going to make money I'm just trying to tell you guys from experience having realistic expectations will save you more than you can imagine What are your goals when I start my year my goal for the end of the year is I don't know maybe 50 percent 50 percent for the year imagine for me 50 percent is only five winning trades I know I can do more on that in a year. I probably place a lot more trades than that Just imagine if I place 20 trades a year and I'm right 19 times That's almost 200 percent return on investment. I know I can do a lot more than 50 percent But when I tell my investors 30 percent at the end of the year I'll be able to relax I can breathe and when you can breathe you're not as greedy And when you're not greedy you can make better trading decisions Forget about all those Lamborghinis you're seeing on social media all those youtube those boys are lying I know half of them and talking all of them are talking shit They just want you to you know, you don't have the game goal They just want you to do whatever it is they want you to do and at the end of the day you go and you blow your can and you're crying Thank your god that you stumbled on this video. This is the I was sent By the almighty Supreme being of the forex industry to come and convey this message to all of you guys who have been led astray You have been led astray no more realistic expectations are very very very important and I feel like You know anytime I walk in for a meeting and I'm talking to investors or I come on here I'm speaking to if you notice even when I do my analysis on these trades I'm not like saying. Oh, I'm going to buy a car from the street Because at the end of the day if you are too hopeful for a trade and it doesn't happen You get hard broken. I want your heart broken. You go into revenge mode I want to get into revenge mode you want your money back and when you want your money back The market doesn't give you back and before you know it The account is gone. Okay guys. So having realistic expectations has really really really helped me guys And last but not the least is thinking long term now my ability to think very long term I think is one of the things that helps me stand out from most traders because People's argue with me and say oh because you have a lot of money to trade with and stuff The truth is even when I didn't have a lot of money to trade with I still wish to think long term Because people come into this game and they want to make a quick buck overnight That obviously is kind of like same as realistic expectations But thinking long term will do more good for you than you can actually imagine. Why? You see same thing with life When I started trading for it at the age of 17, I gave myself three years I didn't have education. I didn't have Dapo Willis on YouTube to tell me what to do I didn't have any of that. I didn't have none of this Nobody was telling me anything to do like blah blah blah So I knew that I was gonna have to do a lot of trial and error myself So I gave myself three years But the problem with most people these days is they don't want to keep they don't they want it now And obviously I can't blame them because Instagram is not really helping like people are posting Lamborghinis You see someone that claims to have started trading last week or last month is posting profits and stuff like that And you think like why why can't I do it guys don't believe all those things Take it from someone that's been here for 12 years Even when I started my journey Can you believe that people that used to post screenshots when I started trading don't trade anymore they're gone They were actually never profitable Give yourself time to grow in the game. Give yourself time to learn Give yourself time to make mistakes because I'll leave you with this guys The reason why I'm so so so so profitable and the reason why my trading calls are very spot on is because I've seen A lot of these patterns from in the chart. I've seen it several times So when it comes to trading opportunities and stuff like that if it's going to be a profitable one I've chances that I have already seen that kind of pattern before so I take it if it's going to be losing one I'm going to stay out of it because chances chances that I've probably seen that kind of pattern before and it cost me a lot of money Now how was I able to do one of this is because I've paid my dues a significant amount of chart time obviously This is why I created the the forex mastery program so that I can help you compress your learning curve Like everything I learned in 12 years is literally in there You get what I mean so you can fast track all of that but still even when you fast track all of that give yourself time to explore give yourself breathe Because if you want to make the money right now, you would almost never see the money in the game That's one thing thinking long time in general Second thing is thinking long time when it comes to your trades. You see I urge traders. I beg traders. I say listen for me Sometimes to double land to double a trading account. I only need one pair at best two pairs and four trades People always want you like this guy crazy. How does he do it? It's simple Because I can just take a pair that I see wants to train a thousand or two thousand pips What do I do? I get in when the trend is about getting when the trend is about to kick off Okay at the early stage the market starts to train I hold the trade and allow the market move as the market starts to consolidate somewhere along the line I stack up and I add more trades think about it if a trade is going to do if a pair is going to Trend for a thousand five hundred pips and I have three trades there. Do you know how many pips that is? Easily you'll be able to bag two thousand eight hundred pips or even three thousand pips While still keeping your wrist low But the truth is for the market to move a thousand five hundred two thousand pips it takes time It might take up to two three months. Are you patient enough? Okay in this game, you know, the most patient traders are the most rewarded traders Can you hold on those onto those trades for that period of time? Ask yourself So if indeed you understand any chance of making a lot of money like I do One hundred and fifty million dollars asset on the management You want to have all of this long-term thinking will literally be the game changer for you So once again guys, I hope I've been able to use this medium to share a couple of things with you guys I wish this video could have been longer. I'm looking at my timer right about now And I've been talking for quite a bit and usually people have to obviously tune on our own points like this About obviously time when I've been talking for too long people have to tune up and stuff like that So I don't want to bore you guys. I don't want to tell you guys stuff that I feel like you already know I just wanted to come on here and remind you Obviously, hopefully educate you guys and remind you about the core principles of trading and how I'm able to manage A hundred and fifty million u.s. Dollars and obviously things that I've learned so far and how you guys can do it as well If you haven't already subscribed to the youtube channel and sure to smash that subscribe button right there drop me a nice comment Okay, and don't forget to join the forest mastery program The students will be notified want will his capital is live. I love you guys very much And I'll catch you guys in my subsequent videos. Take it easy and peace out
