 I mean, stuff like that, I mean, you have to put yourself into other people's brain. Okay, man, I was gonna start. Today's been a rough day, man. Gotta admit it was really tough. I'm about break even today because I fucked up on VXRT. I used up all my Christian, but before we start that, a couple of items, guys. Welcome back. I missed last week. It's good to be back, guys. Okay, let me see what these questions are real quick before I start. Tim says whenever you use financial hole. Guys, I'm gonna talk about this. Okay, this is gonna be very important. Today is the last day, the last day that we're gonna give the free. So we created over the course of six months a course called the Accelerator Jumpstart. What Accelerator Jumpstart is, is this. We have so many videos. We have, trading is so huge. You don't know where to begin. You know? Before MIC, you guys were pretty much learning on your own. Then we started to create a process. So we were the first people that's talked about process. Now everybody talks about process. What a process will help you do is it makes it systematic, robotic in your trading so that you can go through a process and it'll spit out your result, which is, you know, most of the time should be a winning P&L because the process is based around winning strategies, proven winning strategies. That is up to you to be a disciplined trader to apply proper risk management as well as waiting for your entries. And the entries we like to use are based upon the lines. Okay, so we started the lines a long time ago, which basically is the most simple way to do entries and exits. But the problem is this. Where do you begin learning all this? We have many, many, many members learning for the past two years successfully. What we did was we wanted to create a course, which basically accelerates and jump starts the path because training is, you know, there are people that take to training naturally right away and there's people that take forever or some people that never ever become a good trader. That's just a normal fact of life, right? So what we did was we took all of what we know so far, all our videos, and we kind of created a cliff notes and condensed version called the accelerated jump start. So it's a seven or seven and a half hour course that will take you from knowing not much about training, which is basically nothing. From not knowing anything, we find what a stock is and all that to being able to place your first trade after you finish this course. But it doesn't mean you become a profitable trader right away. But what it means is you are now educated enough to place your first trade. And then that's the beginning, that's jump starting your education, okay? This will save you tremendous amount of hours, tremendous. We created this, we beta tested it within MICs, groups, lifetime members such as Faye and everybody else, Vic and whoever else, beta tested this, make sure it works. And we have given this out to every single annual member out there for free. But that will end this today, right Tosh? So basically we said this, when we launched the Accelerator, we didn't want to charge anybody because that's not what we do, right? We're not here to freaking try and tickle and dime you. We spent six months, countless of hours to develop this course. And so we gave it for free if you are an annual member. But that's gonna end midnight today, guys. So if anybody that joins MIC after this is gonna have to pay. I mean, there's nothing you can do. And people don't value free stuff. We gave it over a month time and the price is gonna be like 1400 bucks or something, which is still much cheaper than every other course out there, guys. You got these guys selling outdated DVDs for fucking eight grand, paying 8,000 fucking dollars for ABC, DB, F fuck patterns and all this stupid shit. And you still don't understand how to trade. But this, with this course, it's not even a DVD. It's an actual course that we sell. But we're giving it for free, guys, for all annuals. So text Tosh, before I start my IG live, I want you guys to, if you guys are interested, text Tosh, because this is gonna go away, guys. It's not gonna be free anymore. So I mean, that's nothing I could do about it. We gave enough time. And text Tosh, Tosh will give you his text messages, his text numbers, we just text them, and then you can see what you do, okay? If you can't currently afford it, text him and figure something out. But this course, in my opinion, is very life-changing because I have a lot of friends out there that have taken this course and they're like, oh my God, Val, I have a guy. For example, my friend, he joined a year ago and it's just like, dude, there's just so many videos. I don't know where to begin, you know? The traders that take time to watch the videos, they have excelled, okay? The people that are kind of lazy, I mean, they're just lazy. So this DVD, this course, it's not a DVD, it's an actual course for design for the lazy people. I don't want to use that word, but that's what it is. It's like watching the Cliff Notes, guys. The Cliff Notes, which is like the summary of the book, instead of reading a 2,000-page war and peace book, you know, you're reading a 30-page synopsis, Cliff Notes version, right? So that's what we did. Doesn't mean you become the best trader, but it'll get you jump-started to the point where you understand now the concepts and how to place your first trade, okay? So that ends tonight. We are also raising prices on lifetimes. We are pretty much the most inexpensive. In my opinion, we are the best educational service out there, guys. We are actually the only educational service out there. And I call this a true educational service because we teach you to trade. We do not pump and dump. We don't alert stocks. We have a watch list, we guide you, we teach you to become self-sufficient. And that is the difference. And that's why, in my opinion, we are not the largest group out there because people like getting rich quick. They don't want to fucking put time in. Which, you know what, man, I'm sick and tired of telling people don't be a sheep. Eventually, you'll join MIC, guys, because eventually you will lose money chasing and not understand what the hell you're doing. All these Robin Hood guys right now are chasing people on lifestreams, showing big P&Ls. All these guys are doing is revenge trading. They're just, they're not teaching you the proper way. Okay? If you want to make it in this game, guys, if you want to make it in this game, you must learn how to properly trade for yourself. Getting rich quick is a one-time thing, okay? You'll start slowly bleeding back all your profits. I've been there, I've done that. And so when we started MIC, we wanted to really teach people how to trade. And that's why this, that's why everybody comes here. This is why every Tuesday I do this live, every Monday Alex does the live. Who does this? No one fucking does this. They're too busy pumping their own fucking playbook. They're trying to fucking use you as sheep, okay? I don't know, this is not meant to be a rent on them, but I'm just letting you guys know. And then tomorrow, every Wednesday, it's Tosh's webinar. If you want to know what MIC is like, join his free webinar tomorrow. You'll see inside of MIC. You'll see the people, you know, all these trolls are saying we're scammers. What the fuck are we scamming? It's fucking funny. We are the most transparent community out there. We let you look into the community. The members themselves have fucking talked about us. No one ever says anything bad, because you know there's nothing that we do that was scamming. You know, we don't pump you any positions. I could easily pump my positions, but I do not. And that was the intent all along for you to learn. And we have members truly learning. We are growing members from scratch. But anyways, so that's, you know, I don't want to get into that. I want to talk about today. And today what we talk about is the cushion game. Okay, because this is very important. It happened to me today. It happened to some of the members who, who messaged me today, cushion game. You know why I want to talk about the cushion game? Because the stock market has been crazy right now, man. It's, it's like people are making a lot of money. And people are also losing a lot of money. And so for the guys are making money, they're on a ridiculous win streak. And when you're on the ridiculous win streak, sometimes you forget the discipline, the rules that got you there because you're playing the cushion game. I'm up so much. It's like, dude, what the hell? I can let shit go because you know what? It worked every time I broke a rule, I made money. And so I'm rewarded during the streak. This is why I keep trying to tell everybody is so important. It's not how much you make guys. It's the method that you make it that will define your longterm success as a trader. Because if you are breaking the rules and doing all these crazy gambling shit, like freaking revenge trading. I see these stupid guys revenge trade all the time. I'm down 50 grand. Oh, what an epic day. I made it all back. It's not fucking epic. You shouldn't be fucking down 50 grand. What is that teaching the members? You know, just because the guru can make it back and the guru has deep pockets, the members are learning bad, bad, bad habits that will blow them up. There will be stocks like VXRT, like Beyond Meat, Tilray, Drys, those stocks that will not come down, that you will go broke, okay? Bad habits, you gotta shake them guys. It's more important on the process that you make the money. Some of my best days were losing days because I stopped out. I was able to get out of a position before I blew up my account. A small loss is a huge victory most of the time, okay? And so today I'll give you an example. I woke up today, I hammered WKHS. I did all this great thing. I was in the groove, man. In the morning I was like, dude, I was, so what I did was I built up a big cushion before the market even opened. I was up like over five grand before the market even opened, right? And so I'm like, okay. And so I was in so many positions guys that I was like, I wasn't even paying attention. Next thing you know, two stocks did something, okay? VXRT, I didn't know I was filled. I didn't know it went up a buck. That's how stupid it was. Cause VXRT, I was like, this guy gotta be dead, right? It was so beat up this pre-market. It was so beat up. I was like, okay. So I started to scale in. But the stupid thing I did was I had blind orders and too many of them. That was a mistake that will fix ongoing. Mistake I'm fixed ongoing is this guys. Being too arrogant to think that you cannot lose. And so what I did was I all of a sudden had all these open orders got swept on the way up. I don't even know why I put those. The reason I put those, cause I was lazy because I wanted to trade 10 positions at once. And I was up out of cushion. I'm like, okay. If I feel 5,000 shares of this in order for me to lose 5,000 bucks it has to go up a dollar. Sure enough, fucking VXRT went up a fucking dollar. And then all of a sudden I'm sitting on a 5,000, $6,000 loss. And I'm like, what the fuck? There goes all of the hard work I did pre-market. And so there I am. Now I'm stuck. And the moment I noticed that I did the right thing. I took the loss before I didn't triple down. I didn't do anything. I just took the loss. I waited for the dip and I took the loss. But the problem was the dip never came. And so that's another mistake too. Sometimes don't wait for the dip to come. Just hit the offering, get the fuck out. I was like, okay, I'm gonna wait for the next dip. I'm gonna wait for the next dip. Next year, it went up 50 cents more. 50 cents on a 6,000 share position. 7,000 position. So I kind of basically lost half. Instead of losing 6,000 I could only lost 3,000. But instead I lost 6,000 on VXRT because I was being a stupid ass. I was arrogant. I was on a good streak. I was using cushion. Next year I'm like, what the fuck? I was down on paper while I ate grand. I covered for $6,000 loss. I mean, I'm okay. I mean, I made money on the other stocks but it's just stupid, right? It's one of these stupid things where when you make money, like I keep telling you, in the beginning when you make money, it's all because of good discipline. You had good process. You stopped out well, all this stuff. Then it comes to the point where you made a lot of money and then it becomes a cushion game to you. You're like, you know, I'm already up this much. So the cushion disappears very quickly, guys. That's why I keep making these videos to remind everybody. When you're on a winning streak, those are the most dangerous. Because when you're on a winning streak, you throw caution to the wind. Meaning you're like, I don't give a fuck about risk management. I'm up five grand today. I'm up 15 grand this week. I'm up 100 grand this month. Whatever it may be, right? So you walk around like, you don't give a damn because you know what, man? It always worked before. During the streak, you would break the habits, it'll work. And so some, but then you know what it meant? Eventually, this is what happens to the streaks guy. Eventually, streaks end. Every single streak ends, okay? You have to be careful with that one loss. I keep telling everybody all the time. Being consistent is not enough. You can still be consistent, but still be an unprofitable trader. How? Imagine you're on a winning streak. You're up 10 days in a row, but that one loss wipes the entire streak out. That's how a consistent trader is not a profitable trader. There's a huge difference actually. Being consistent is just the first step. I keep telling you, I tweeted yesterday about the aha moment. It's not just being consistent. It's the risk management. I'm not letting that one loss wipe out the entire streak. And that is how you get over the hurdle and how you're able to get to the next step. The next step is being consistently profitable trader. If you wanna do this thing full time, if you wanna do this forever, you must, you must control your risk, okay? Have good habits. Use hard stops. What I did was this. I have all my members call the broker to set up your account with a max daily loss. Because I don't trust myself. I put my account just at 10,000 bucks, but that's still better than fucking blowing my entire account, right guys? Whatever the number is for you put it there. It could be a thousand bucks, it could be 5,000, it could be 500. It doesn't matter what it is. You do not want that one losing day to wipe out your streak. You know, you can do it maybe two days average loss if you want, whatever it may be. Because if you're on a 10 day winning streak, sure the next time you lose, you hit the max loss and the max loss is maybe two days. You're still up eight days. That's the secret because what's gonna happen is this, I guarantee you this will happen because it happens to me often before, right? Where I'm on a 10 day winning streak and I'm up fucking 100 grand or some shit like that. And then boom, I step into a turd, a low floater, front side, stupid, short. Next thing you know, I'm fighting this thing, breaking the zombie rule. I start out with, okay, my cushion, I'm about to up 5,000 today, then your cushion gets wiped out. And then your mind starts to fuck around with you. You're like, you know what, you're up this week. So then that weak cushion goes away. Then you start to do research. This is a sign, man. The moment you start doing research and you're stuck in the stock, it means you get the fuck out, guys. You should have done research prior to getting it. So some of the key indicators, guys, and that's why a tab is very important. The mental aspect of this, risk management involves a couple of things. It's a mind control. And a lot of us, like myself, are very weak. Mind, mentally. So we have to set parameters such as using hard stops. I put a hard stop on WKS today. I just didn't put on VXRT for some reason. I'm just stupid. But then you have a tab which reminds you. But the ultimate one, in my opinion, is call your broker and set the max daily loss. So I have a max daily loss, okay? You can set up for two days loss. And that's completely fine. And so that's what saves you, guys, because I'm gonna tell you, man, it's always that one losing day that blows up your entire account because what happens is you're up so much during that streak that you start to oversize. Now I'm starting to oversize, for example, right? Like, oh, let's press, let's press. So the problem is this, you know, you keep pressing, but if you do not have proper risk management, the fact that you've just doubled, tripled your size, it's like, and then you lose, it's gonna wipe out, triple the streak. So using a thousand shares during your streak, 10 days, so you got 10,000 shares, right? Now you upped it to 5,000, 3,000 because of the cushion game. All you need to do is just be down one day and wipe out your streak. And this is why you have to set offense, guys. And I see these guys, these teachers, educators, bullshit, I don't call them educators, I call them bumpers. They have zero risk management. I'm just shaking my head because what's gonna happen if you do not have that, eventually you're gonna blow up. They just happen to have money, so they refill. But as a student, guys, you guys wanna alleviate that. And I've got messages today from people that have been on streaks and they've hit their max loss and they try to call the broker to turn off that max loss and then, thanks God, the broker's like, no, no, I can't do that. Which is the best fucking idea, okay? When you hit that, that's cooled down. It's okay, walk the fuck away. There's no good when you come in. It's like you got beat up by the bully. Go home. Why do you wanna come back and get beat up more? Most of the time, you not make it back unless you're revenge-trading. I see guys buy million-dollar positions to try to make back 50,000. And it's just the dumbest fucking shit. And then they fucking happy. Epic, it's epic, I made it all back, it's epic. I'm the best, my room's the best into the fucking club. I'm like, dude, that's not how we do it and that's not how I want anybody to do it because eventually you're all gonna come back and you're gonna tell me the same thing about it. I was on a massive streak but I fucking blew up again, man. I blew up again. And then I keep asking the same questions. Did you break the rule? Do you have a hard stop? Do you have a tap? Did you set the broker max daily loss and stuck with it? Or did you try to call the broker to get back into your account? Every major loss I had was on a bigger size account with no restrictions, guys, I'm telling you right now. My little account's kicking ass. My little $35,000 account's kicking ass because that has all of the restrictions on. Sure, I have a max size on that as well. 10,000 shares is my max size and I have a 10,000 max loss. And the other account's a bigger account. I can buy short 50,000 shares I want, no max loss. But you know what, guys? My little account's doing fucking much better because I'm not tilting. I can never tilt on that little account. If I tilt, my max loss will be hit or my max size. I cannot add back a certain size. So what it does is this, guys, there's many levels of protection you need to put for yourself because it's gonna be very dangerous now. The markets may shift and all of a sudden the way you think it's working is not gonna work. A lot of people do not understand this. People think they're gonna fucking make money forever. That stocks go up forever. No, dude, you need to put a parameter around yourself because I don't trust myself. I'm pretty sure you don't trust yourself. So max size is also an important thing because what happens if you want to use 3,000 shares max size, call your broker. Don't, do not let me add more than 3,000 share positions. That will set that on this fucking screen because what's gonna happen is this. It's gonna prevent you from adding to a loser. Like today, on my little account, I maxed out on VXRT, I couldn't add more size. I was like, fuck, fuck, fuck, I wanna, fuck. I was right, I was right. Every time, you know, but they kept on going up. So thank God I couldn't add any more size. So the federally on 6,000 bucks, you know, it's good versus I'd be in fucking 25,000 shares of this shit. So go and set your max size and max loss and all that stuff. And I'm telling you, man, these environments, the money is there if you follow the process. And also I wanna talk about one more last thing before we bring someone on. People have been posting a lot of crazy P&Ls out there, guys. Do not, you know, if you watch that and you look and it affects you, stop looking. Because I'm pretty sure a lot of you guys get affected by yourself too. I was like, what the fuck? This dumb fuck is making this much money? And why am I putting a pussy? Why am I sizing up? Why am I doing training this? Why am I gambling? Why am I revenge training? Why am I, you see what I'm saying? So it gets you out of your game. And just remember, you only need to make $4,000 a day on the average to make a million a year. You don't need to be swinging 50,000 days. The guys that are swinging 50,000 days, they might have 50,000 day losses too, which you do not want. Unless you have a big enough bankroll, right? So everything is in perspective, guys. Everything is perspective. Focus on yourself. And that's how you get there. Every time I see another guy P&L and I try to press and stress, I fuck up. You know, I'm like, why is that necessary? Who gives the shit? You know, let them make their money. It doesn't mean that you're a worst trader, you're a worst individual. Just you do you, dude, you do you. So that's the trader maturity that, I want all members, all of you guys to understand. You know, you just need to be better than the person you were yesterday. If you want to compete with someone, compete with yourself. Any questions? Okay, so I'm gonna field some questions now, guys. And then I'm gonna bring someone on. Anybody on who wants to get on, raise your hand? Anybody questions? Repeat the question. Take a couple of questions and if anybody wants to come on, I'll bring you a split screen on. I don't know, the hand is sizing, please. What is your question on sizing? Remember, guys, you have to be specific to these questions. You can't just say, oh, how do I make money? How do I short? How do I go long? Sizing. Sizing me. Okay. Let's see. I'm gonna lie, this is Mike. Mike's one of our. Hey, man, how's it going on? Wow, brother. Hey, tell me who you are and all that stuff and what's going on with your trading because this is a good story, guys. Mike, my friend in MIC. And yeah, I DM'd you earlier. You were talking about the fishing game. That was me today. That was a, I took the Mac, I did a Mac loss today. So tell everybody what you did though because you were on the streak, right? Yeah, I was on a really good streak. You were on a good streak. So tell us, so tell the backstory. So, I guess I was just getting a little. So tell us the backstory. So you were on the, so before that. So I wanna paint the picture for everybody so everybody understands the backstory on how it led to today. And so you were on a nice win streak. You were at during this time where you're, were you obeying the rules? You're trading well or you're event trading? Yeah, I was trading really well. I was talking to my tabs. Like I was telling them, like, yeah, this month, not just P&L wise, it's been my best month, but also like trading wise, execution wise. I've just been sticking to my process and staying disciplined. But I guess today, I kind of sized in too early on Dave KHS and then it was in pre-market and then I wasn't even paying attention. And I got on that squeeze right before the open got filled. And then that was the offering. That was the news on the offering. Dude, that was crazy. Yeah. And then I kind of underestimated it. I knew I should have stopped out, but I was like, no, I think this will, you know, it's gonna tank, but then I didn't think it was gonna squeeze that hard. So I got a little stubborn and then eventually just hit my max loss because I sized in too early. So I guess I got too comfortable. Okay, so that's because you were on a good streak? You were in Perlis, right? Yeah. You didn't think this will happen? I was telling myself, dude, I was like, man, I'm on a good streak. I shouldn't have told you guys, I feel like I'm gonna jinx myself the next day. And I guess, you know, it didn't happen, but. That's usually what happens. What happens when you're on a good streak? You feel so fucking good, dude. Every time I'm going to Amazon and looking for shit to buy, walking around like I'm King Kong. And then the next day you're like, you know what, man? Man, I make so much money doing this streak. Train like a whip. Why do I size up the next day? That's what happens, you know? So you're like, holy fuck, man, why do I just press it? And so what happens is this, you pressing it doesn't mean just adding size randomly. It means sizing for the appropriate trade. So if you're shorting the front side, you should be adding size, right? So let me care, it was like, it was like straight up front side shit, right? So if you want to do backside shit, then that's the time to size up. And so, so sizing is great, but you have to size it appropriately for the setup, right? But at least to this, Mike, which I'm glad, I'm glad that you have a max daily loss. You imagine, man, that then maybe you had a fucking blown double you're fucking blown. I even asked Cobra Chat to block it too. They wouldn't do it. So, so that was a blessing, man, even though you make money on these money, but this is the time to cool off guys. Because I mean, I've been there, man. I'm so bad where I hit a max loss, I pull another account. And I fucking dude, I usually never ends well guys. I ended up losing double. And I feel like shit the next day. You know, I feel shit the next day. The next minute, not even the day, the next minute, I'm fucking feeling shit. So, so, so now Mike, so this is a good thing because you still are up during the streak. It didn't blow up your entire streak. I only lost yesterday, a little more than yesterday's game. So I mean, it's, it's not too bad, but, so I mean, it's a good lesson again. It's so stupid, right? It's so good. But, but, but this is exactly what we talked about, man. When you're on a good streak, the most dangerous thing is to lose the entire streak on revenge trading because you don't want to lose, right? Because you're using the crushing game. So the fact that you ended your loss losing only one day's of profits, it's great, man. And that's the best thing you can hope for. And that's why a max daily loss was created. If you want, you can go reduce your max daily loss. It's up to you. People don't understand that. You don't have to keep the same amount of max daily loss or the same max size all the time. Yeah. So if you're on a streak and you're scared, fucking reduce it, reduce how you backlight your loss. Yeah. Because you know yourself, right? I know myself too, man. When I'm on a streak, I get restless. Do you get it? Not today. I don't train all this stupid shit. I don't even, I don't like, oh fuck, Alex is away. My tablets are at seriously, man. I'm, Jean said it along. Val's going to be in a fucking berserk mode. Because that's what happened. I feel like I'm a fucking kid. My mom is away. My parents are away. I can do wherever I fucking want. Yeah. That's what I did today. I was like, Alex is away. He's not going to screw him in for 20 super shit. And so I just started training all this too bad shit. I'm breaking the rules. I'm doing all this shit. And you don't thank God. I was like, I'm fucking about breaking even today, but you know, but it's just stupid, right? It's just stupid. It has been avoided, yeah. So what do you do now? So, so, so you understood this. So what are your measures ongoing on how to fix this? Or is it okay? You keep doing what you're doing? I don't know. Yeah. What do you think? I think I just, I got, I kind of sizing too early. I started, I guess I had a little fall when I started scaling too early. And then I kind of underestimated the stock and I didn't, I didn't obey my stock too because it was pre-market. So I didn't have a hard stock. And then I just let it run. And then I knew I should have stopped out by then. Dude, that's the same as me. Yeah. That's the same as me. I didn't think it was going to get out. So my idea was I located 2,000 shit. Dude, no one did, bro. You know, in trading, that shit happened. It was at $14, bro. Yeah. When the news came out, it hit 14 bucks. And they ripped all the way back up to 18 bucks. That's some crazy stuff. Yeah. And so, hey man, I could have fucking, I could have just gotten my troubles just like you. So I located 2,000 shares and I fucking used it. And I'm supposed to look at four, but something happened and two didn't go through. So I'm like, thank God didn't go through. So sometime like that, it's like, dude, there's no business fucking doing 4,000 pre-market on that fucking shit, right? Yeah, that's right. It's like stupid. It's like, on the street, you have to think you're so like, would you have done this if you were red yesterday? So every day, this is the thing that kept me going for all these years. It's like, every time I wake up, dude, I try to forget what I did yesterday, meaning dollar amounts. Why did this month? Because the moment you start thinking that, it talks to your brain. Every day is a new day. Every day for me is a new day. I lose, seriously, but I lose today because I came in thinking, I'm gonna sign up today. Why the fuck am I being opposed to signing up today? I'm gonna start trading more aggressively because it worked, it worked. So I deviate from my process, you know what I'm saying? And so I use the cushion game to keep adding the loser. I did all the stupid shit, which I shouldn't have done. So now I wanna go back and just go back to my normal process. I think I had the same mindset as you today this morning. I felt like I couldn't lose. I'll trade a little bit more aggressive. And I think I just wanted, I just got a little careless. Correct. So before that trade though, were you making money on another trade or did you make money on that trade? Or that was just, you got in, you lost right away. Yeah, that was the only, I had open orders, but that was the only one that got hit in pre-market. And then I just got stubborn and didn't want to accept the loss. Okay. So sometimes, man, this is what happens to me. Sometimes I win a little money, then I get arrogant. Okay, fuck it. Now I'm like, why did I just size so little? Yeah. I size bigger to do a makeup trade. That's how I get it done. And then today, like, I just got so careless at POLA. I used so many open orders on shit. I didn't do house cleaning. One of the members in chat reminded me to do house cleaning. I saw that. And so I went back with a little too late. Some of the house cleaning. So you have to, you have to do your process. Sometimes trading less, I'm telling you, man, today was just overly greedy for myself. So, but what you do is right, you focus on one stock and you like the most, but you just size in too quick, too early without confirmation, right? Yeah. So that's what it was. It's a mistake that you, that's a mistake that you can overcome, bro. And I'm glad that you had the mac thing you lost. But what's the WKS at now right now? It's that, what do you say? Oh, dang, I said almost, it's 1985. Making a profit. $19? Yeah, almost $20. Wait, wait, it's almost $20? Yeah, 19. You see? You see, bro? Yeah. You fucking see? Yeah. I guess it's kind of a good thing that I don't know. If you have broke the rules, trading in zombie hours, bro, bro, you know what is going to happen, bro? You're going to end up trading during a zombie hour and go to you because you're like, what the fuck? This thing was 14 bucks. Oh God, that's why I left. That's why I fucking left, man. That's why I went on this IG stand and screwed you. I'm not going to get in because I'm like, dude, 1850 all day long, I was using that line. I made $3 a share. Scalping 50 cent moves all day long. So I scalped six times. And then all I need to do is, you know, you bring the zombie rule, you give back all your gains, then what happens? Yeah. Good, man. Any other comments? Do you want to tell everybody or? I really like it. I noticed you've been stopping out really well. That's the one that's really impressed me the most because I noticed you're really, you've gotten a lot better at stopping out and how is it taking notes on that? Yeah, man, because I'm like, I'm a very, I promise this, man. If I trade the process, I hardly ever leave. Yeah. It's one of those things where I know my skills are so good that I get so careless, bro, because I know I can recover. Yeah. But the thing is this stupid, unnecessary, you know what I'm saying? It's like, why do I want to fucking like, just piss away easy gains and then I have to work it back. Yeah. A lot of the time it's the arrogance of knowing that I can work it back and start adding, but that's the wrong way to educate. That's just not the right way to trade. And so I've been very, are you saying like, man, I've been trying to stop out, which I've done. The one time I didn't stop out with VXRT today. Well, stupid, I didn't even fucking see it. And that's my mistake was over-treating. I had too many open orders that one, I didn't even know I was doing, that stopped. So, as I'm working, every day I'm working on that, man. I'm working on being able to stop out early and eating a lot early before I have to start using some skills to trade and get myself out, right? Yeah. That's what it is, man. Sometimes you better to run away, man, and come back another day, right? Yeah. So, good, man. Well, so next time, who knows, man? Size appropriately, oversized and shit happens, man. These are the crazy markets. I've actually did a, I put a hard stop on WKS once today, on the 18th, and it fucking, it broke 18, it still me 1830, so I was kind of pissed off, a thousand shares. But you know what, man? The fact that I did that, it's like, it's a good habit. Next time, the thing will fly up to 25 bucks. Yeah. And that 30 cents slippage, would have been the best stop out ever, right? Right. So, every day I'm trying to create better habits. That's all it is, man. Create better habits. Even though we can get away with it, but it's that one time we don't get away, like you can drive it, right? I get away with it like a hundred times, but it only takes the one fucking time to ruin your entire life, right? Oh, it takes about one. Yup. Well, thanks, Mike. Thank you, man. Great, great stuff. All right, man, I'll see you in the room. All right. Thanks, man. Well, any other questions, guys? I want to keep this kind of short. Today's the last day of the Accelerator. Like I said, text-tosh, guys, text-tosh. These are the things we teach every day. If you're losing more than 200 bucks a month, guys, 200 bucks a day, there's no reason for you not to join. Even I reduce my ego to the point where I'm talking about all this stuff, right? I'm not the best, right? I'm posting losses in the roof, too. You saw that? It's like, I don't need to shy away from this stuff. It's like, it's embarrassing. I'm telling you, man, it's just fucking embarrassing to lose. The law doesn't embarrass me. It's the great deviation from process. How can it not stop, Val? You know, stupid shit like that. It's not the money, guys. I made the money back in like a day, no problem, but it's just the stupidity. And so these are the things I force myself to come to terms with. Looking in the mirror, sometimes looking in the mirror, just saying, you know, man, it's just fucking fault, Val. It's just fault that you lost the shit. No one else is. Don't blame this shit on the summer market. Don't blame this shit on anything else. It's you. It's you. The moment that you take a hard look at yourself and realize that you are the issues, you can start to change. And you know, we're here to help you guys. No one's competing at MIC. We are here to fucking help you because even I am not, even I am human. I lose. That fucking sucks. I feel like crap. But I'm in the money, guys. It's just, you know, you feel like, even in 20 years, how can you, how can I not stop out? But that's happened. That's human nature. And the fact that I am so human, so imperfect, and I can still do this, you can do it too, guys. All right, guys. Let me see. What's the difference between a prop trader? Hey, we don't want to go, prop trader, you trade their money. You have to get a license, guys. All that stuff, you have to get a license. They're gonna get a serious, seven, all that stuff. So I take you to learn to trade because you can't join a prop trader with you if you don't know how to trade anyway. So learn to trade, guys. All right.
