 This is the opportunity guys. Is Alex here by the way? I didn't see him. Okay, I see Alex, there we go. Today I'm gonna start kind of like a diet. My diet has been so freaking bad. That's because I use the quarantine as an excuse because I couldn't go out. I was forced to work every day, which I enjoy anyways. And so eating became my only fun. So today I'm gonna start some, I'm gonna go back to my salads and start eating right, man. It's about time, because when they unlock, I don't want to be 500 pounds. I want to be ready. I want my mind. So, which leads us to this. Okay, before we get to the topic, let's take a couple of house cleaning items. We are, well, now that the holiday's over, we forgot, but dude, MIC's only been around for two years. Less than two years. Our anniversary's coming up on August 17. And every birthday of MIC, anniversary of MIC. We throw a huge event. Last year we had one in Philadelphia and it was amazing. It was huge. You know, we threw it and it was completely free for, we spent like six figures, guys, for free. We let the members come in. If you are MIC, you could have attended last year for free. And so this year, unfortunately the pandemic happened and we can't do that. So we are now moving into virtual. So everybody's starting to do the Zoom calls and stuff. I don't know the exact platform we're gonna do. Probably gonna be Zoom. It's gonna be August 17th, guys. We're still working on the agenda. The moderators are so kind right now. They've been working for the past month on the curriculum. And we said it already, man. It's gonna be free for annuals and lifetimes. And if you are not a member yet, you should definitely join because this is gonna be a spectacular big event, man. There's gonna be a live trading. There's gonna be a bunch of stuff. So this is not one of those seminars where you join and they're trying to sell you shit. If you guys have been there last year and the year before, you know as we actually teach you what to do. There's live trading and all that stuff. None of this bullshit sells marketing crap. So that's gonna be August 17th, guys. Around that time, we are gonna announce it when it's ready. But in the meantime, we have this Jumpstart Accelerator course that is included. We used to be, I guess, the sale ended. So if you missed it, I'm sorry. It's now available for sale, guys. So anybody of you that's interested, hit up Tosh. But this is gonna reduce your learning curve tremendously, okay? Jumpstart Accelerator. We don't have any sales at the moment, but you never know, man. The guys that are attending IG Live today, hit up Tosh, guys. Tosh is gonna work with you on some promos, unadvertised promos, just for the guys that are attending today. So for the guys that are attending today, you know, hit up Tosh. Okay. Anyways, okay, let's start. So what the hell happened today? So this is very indicative of a normal trading day for many people sometimes. Like last night, I couldn't sleep at all. So I didn't sleep until late. It's been two days like that because over the weekend, I was like used to staying up late, right? So my body didn't acclimate myself back. So I woke up late today by an hour and I was freaking out. The alarm went off and I just snows it and then I was like, dude, so I'm jumping out of bed. And this was before five. So you imagine me waking up at 4.58 a.m. And that to me is considered late. Okay, who the hell wakes up at 4.58 panicking? And it's still late because I usually wake up at 3.48. Yeah, 3.48 Pacific time, which is, I mean, I'm not in the East Coast so it's really tough for me to wake up at 2 a.m. Okay, Alex does that. So we actually have members staggered across the globe. So Alex wakes up early. He handles the room really early. And so we have, it's kind of like, it's not, it's by chance, it's not on purpose where, so I'm up until like 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock at night helping members at night, mind you, helping members in MIC. Alex is already long gone to bed, but he's up at my time, 2 a.m., 5 a.m. his time. So, you know, this is a sort of passion, dedication that we get to our members because we truly love this stuff, dude. You have to truly love this. You know, it's like, money is not enough. Seriously, the amount of stress that we go through and the amount of hours we work for a guy like myself is like, dude, I'd rather just be home. Trading my own account, I'll be good. But with that in mind, okay. So I already woke up late, guys. I woke up late, I'm panicking. Because that would happen, so the first step is this. You have to realize that everything's about routine. A good golfer, a good sports person, it's all routine. They go to practice, they go, if they deviate from their routine, they screwed up. So today, the first time was, I deviated from my process. I woke up late. I couldn't locate the things I located. So what today I did was I limited myself to a handful of stocks, which is less than I usually do because I was not prepared. So I chose the top maybe five stocks I really like. I actually located seven stocks today, which normally I locate 10 and maybe I picked some, but today I limited it down. And additionally, I sized down today. I made sure that, you know what, man, I'm not prepared. I don't wanna play the catch-up game. I don't wanna screw up because there was a lot of stocks today. I'm like, okay, I'm gonna size down and give it more range because it's been, these stocks have been ranging more than normal. Which stocks did you like? I'll post it on Twitter later, all the stocks I traded, but I post all my plays in the room, Alex does as well. So what I did was, you know what, I stuck to the basics. I'm just like, shit, man, I'm not gonna do anything fancy. I'm gonna avoid the hot chicks of the day. I am going to stick to my process. And so I calmed down I mean, I'm a very nervous wreck guy, right? If I wake up late, I deviate, I'm pissed off. I didn't get the locates I wanted for the price I wanted. I'm playing catch-up. And so what I did was I stuck back to basics. I'm like, you know what, calm down. You know, I went back to my routine as quickly as I can, which included me going to get some tea, stuff like that, you know, just to calm me down. I drink tea each morning, which gives me a little boost of caffeine, but it's basically, it's like a golfer, right? You get into the motion, you shake your butt, you do your pre-routine warm-up, and you hit the ball. And that's exactly what happened. So today, when the market opened, I had my orders out, my fancy orders, and it just all clicked. By the time the market opened, I didn't even have to think about the process. Because I did the process so many times that it became a reflex. And if you recall my old-time followers on Twitter, I always say, you have to get to the point where you're trading like a reflex. When someone throws a ball at your face, do you think, what should I do? Should I do nothing? Get hit by the ball to my face? Do I move right? Do I move left? Do you even think about it? No, you do not think. You just act as if it's a reflex, as if someone hits you on the knee and your knee jerks up. And that's what I call trading like a reflex. You want to keep training yourself, just like a professional athlete. We are a professional athlete. We are a mental professional athlete. We train ourselves to the point where we don't even have to think anymore, guys. It's all instinctive, instinctual, like a reflex. I hope you guys understand what I'm talking about. So you're never gonna hear this anywhere else because I realize over the years, if I'm thinking, constantly thinking while I'm trading, it means I'm overthinking. I'm becoming nervous. I'm gonna psych myself out. I'm gonna be fearful. All these what if, what if, all that should have been gone by the time you trade, because you should have done pre-market planning, pre-plan your trades. You need to know exactly what the hell you're going to do before it gets there because by the time it gets there, you are gonna be a deer in the headlights if you have not already planned out that scenario. You need to plan out every single scenario so that, of course, you can't plan every scenario, but as much as you can, it's you have to be well-prepared. It's like, I'll give you an example, NFL games. They have the entire week to do practice so that they can play one game on Sunday. You don't think they've done their research that they've looked at film. They've watched hours and hours of film that they've practiced out their routine, their plays, that every scenario, if the team lined up like this defense, I would do this offense, vice versa, things like that. They plan out every scenario. And so when the time comes, they just need to look and they already know what they need to do. And the routes that they're running, the plays they're doing, it's like a reflex. They don't have to think about it because they've practiced it a thousand times every week. It's just like trading, guys. You have to get to that mode in order for you to become a consistently profitable trader. You know, you need to get to the point where you've done this so many times in practice that you are comfortable with doing it live. And I'm telling you, a lot of these guys that are learning to trade, they're too impatient. They just wanna play the game right away. Even Tom Brady does not play the game every day. He's practicing the entire week. He's practicing during the summer. His day's off, he's practicing. Right now he's practicing just so that when the game day comes, he's prepared and that's why he's the fucking goat. He's 40-something years old, playing football like a reflex. When the opportunity comes, he knows exactly what to do. And that's what I'm trying to tell you guys. Too many traders are trying to just wing it. Winging it means just making shit randomly on the fly. You cannot do that. If you do that, you get lucky, but luck runs out eventually. If you're well-prepared, you make your own luck, guys. I got hell lucky today. I got lucky yesterday, I got lucky the day before. I've been getting lucky pretty much all my life because I pre-planned. And then when I lose, if I don't plan, I call it, oh, that's bad luck. No shit, cause you didn't plan it. To make sense, guys, I want you guys to go back and study paper trade. I paper trade every day, guys. You know how I paper trade? I look at the stock. I don't have to be in the stock. I am imagining the scenarios. I'm trying to predict in my head every single day, even when I'm not training. I'm looking at the chart to say, did it bounce off this line? Did it reject off this line? Did it fake me out of this line? So I'm playing these scenarios in my head just like Tom Brady is trying to do. Of course I'm not as good as Tom Brady, but shit, man. My point is, if I am not that disciplined of a trader, but I still pretty much make money pretty much every day, knock on wood, you can too. You have something I don't. You have a mentor, you have a poor program, M-I-C-A, you have a course that teaches you all the mistakes that I had to learn on my own. I have a ton of bad, bad, bad habits, dude. And sometimes I have to consciously remind myself, don't fucking do this. Walk away, stop over trading, stop adding to a loss. Use a stop loss, things like that. But if you start out and being coached the right way, just like the Patriots, man, being coached by Bill Belichick, who's been running this system for two, three decades, I mean, dude, you already stepped up a game. You've got further than I did. Look at all the people that joined that were successful. They became successful much sooner than I did. The moment they joined, like Faye, Vic, Tom Diesel, James, the list can go on and on. They, their trading has changed significantly for the better because, you know what, man, they don't have to go through the trial and error. Imagine doing the same thing, bad habit for years. You know how hard it is to unwind, untrain yourself from a bad habit? It's very difficult. So do not start bad habits to begin with. And I keep telling everybody, man, I had this discussion with a member yesterday. We're talking about other, we're talking about like, oh, this guy is making so much money. I'm like, dude, but he's breaking every single fucking rule to do it. And you are, as a new trader learning, is not gonna be able to be an experienced person to recover from $30,000 loss. You don't have the bank rule to do that. So you need to be able to take the fucking loss before it turns into a $30,000 loss. I never wanted to be in the position where I'm down so much money and then I have to revenge trade to make it back. And then I'm bragging to the world, how good of a trader I am. Because you know what, man, I tripled up my size, I revenge trade, I'm the fucking best. I did myself out of the hole. You should not be in that position to begin with. A good trader would never be in that position. Once in a while, he gets it. I'd rather see people take a loss. I'd rather take a $30,000 loss than try to revenge trade and either lose $100,000 or break even. You just have to be able to eat their losses. And I'm telling you, I keep seeing it all the time. The perfect example is Alex. He trades one hour a day. One hour a day, does a revenge trade. Today he lost $700. Yesterday he made $5,000. The previous month he made like $600,000. You see what happens? It's not about being, it's not about having to close green every day, guys. It's about taking advantage of the situation. And then risk management is the reason why you can't survive in the long run. Don't think it's how much you make. It's a combination of how much you make, but more importantly, how much you do not lose. It doesn't matter if you have a 100-day winning streak and then you get stuck in a position on the 101st day and you're like, I don't want to end the streak. I don't want to fucking use the cushion game because I'm up a million dollars. Next, I've seen guys fucking blow up their entire account. Guys have been up a million dollars, losing a million dollars the next day. It fucking happens, guys. I've seen it over and over and the reason they can recover, because they've been trading a long time, that's how they handle that money. But as a new trader, I want to train you guys the right way, guys. And so that's what I mean by training like reflex. Train like reflex where you're able to take the loss without even thinking about it. Because the moment you think about it, you're gonna be nervous, dude. Who the fuck wants to take a $2,000 loss? Who the hell wants to take a $5,000 loss? Who the hell wants to take a $10,000 loss? I don't even want to take a $100 loss, guys. But I have to. If it's part of my reflex where I know I'm wrong and the stock starts to break above the line that I thought is going to reject off, I have to take the stock loss. Does that make sense? Keep practicing. You need to keep practicing. It is very difficult, guys, to be able to take a loss, okay? But a good boxer needs to be able to take a hit in the face and realize, oh shit, it didn't really hurt me. You know, sure it may knock me out, but that's part of the game, guys. I don't want to get to the point where I'm knocked out. But if I'm knocked out, it's cool. I have systems in place where it's gonna save me, such as the max daily loss rule. If I broke every single fucking rule in the book today and added to a loser over and over, at least I have, I would call it an emergency, 911 ambulance, which is the broker side max daily loss limit. Call up your broker such as Cobra. They will set your daily loss limit. And even if you get drunk and stupid one day and break every single rule, that means you will not make you go broke. If you have a $35,000 account for instance, set maybe a $5,000 max daily loss, whatever you want, at least you'll still be alive or 2,000. That's up to you what it is. But do not ever take that fence off. It's like what we always say, a seat belt. It's a fucking seat belt. It's an airbag. Sure, it fucking hurts when the fucking airbag gets deployed to your face, but I'd rather have bruises on my face than to have my fucking brain spilled out on the dashboard. And this is the thing people don't understand. We talk about this all the time, guys. It's not how you made, it's not how much you make. It's how you made the money. That's the most important thing in life, guys, okay? You can cheat and steal, make money, I don't give a damn. That's not gonna be sustainable. You break the rules, that's not gonna be sustainable. I'd rather see, just think about this, to make a million dollars a year, you need to average $4,000 a day. 4,000 bucks a day, guys, that's it. Okay, people think you need to swing $15,000 a day, 10,000, no, dude. No, dude, you don't need to do that. You just need to average. So to make half a million, 2,000 a day. 250 a year, 1,000, okay? You wanna make $100,000 a year? Dude, that's less than 500 bucks a day. So that's what you think about it, man. I have this on my Twitter, you guys can look at it, see for yourself. So people think you need to swing a lot of money to make $100,000 a year, no, dude. $100 a day, $200 a day, keep at it, keep at it. Some days you're gonna make more, some days you're gonna make less. But the point is consistency over time is gonna save you. Whoo, all right. With that in mind, who wants to get on? I wanna bring something on and you guys can talk about your progress or what you're learning from. And then maybe, and see if this conversation today helps you, just do a hand wave if you guys wanna get on. I wanna bring someone on and maybe help you or just if you have, it could be anybody, MIC guy, non-MIC guy. All right, let me see, Zeeley. I've never heard from Zeeley, so let's see. Hey, you're going, huh? Oh man, you're like a Drake, you're like the Drake model. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's my style, that's my style. That's my style, that's my style. That's your name is Jake, red jacket. Hey man, dude, I wanna say it's a privilege to be on here. So tell everybody who you are, your name, where you're from, all that good stuff I said. Yeah, bro, I'm Zeeley, I'm from Scotland in the UK. Wow, Scotland, hey, hey, hey. That's a long way in the way. Yes, bro, but the internet connects us like we're next door neighbors. Exactly, so what's going on? You MIC, you're learning what, tell us your background, my friend. I'm MIC for life, bro. Oh, your name is Zeeley? We have a lot of members, I'm sorry about it, I didn't see you. It's all good, man, but listen, this is it. So I've been with MIC for about a year now, just over a year, and only last month I decided to take the plunge and go a lifetime. So tell us your point value of what? Bro, this is it, so 2018 when the Marijuana Canadian stocks, the Tilray and the Corones and Canopy growth, all that was going on, I kind of got myself into trading. I always wanted to trade, but I never had the chance to. I had to have more of my businesses that used to run. I had to have more of my own businesses that I had to run. I had to have more of my own businesses that I had to run. I had to have more of my businesses that used to run bars and restaurants, so I ended up just deciding one day, look, I've had enough. I've worked 20 years of my life running restaurants and bars, and it's just like there must be more to life, right? So I did, I just looked at trading, spoke to a few guys that have ideas of it and they've all said, stay away from it. And I was like, no, bro, I will never find out what's going on. And everyone was like, I spoke to this bank manager, a guy, a friend of my family, and I was like, dude, you obviously deal with high equity clients. What do they do in the stock market? And he was like, stay away, it's a gamble. And I was like, fuck that, fuck that, bro. I'm getting involved. I like a risk and I've always had a high risk tolerance sort of approach to life. And I was like, no. So I started out, hey, shit a lot of money at the start. Like it was mental. I was like overwhelmed. When I first made profit in my first trade, it was Facebook. I made $300 in like an hour. You're like, quick, easy. And I was like, what the fuck is going on? Like, you know, there's guys in the air that earn 300 pounds. They earn 300 pounds working the whole entire week after the taxes. And I'm like, I've just made that in an hour. So I was like, wow, there must be more to this than just. And then, bro, I just went the next day went and like funded my account like with tens of thousands of pounds. And I was like, this is it. And you know, I did okay. I made like good money because I didn't know what I was doing. And there was no risk management. There was nothing. We're talking about six figures. We're talking about 40, 50,000 pounds of trade profit. And I was like, I'm the boy. And then, and then, and then inevitably what happened was boom, massive loss, massive loss, big loss. And I was like, so the other thing was my partner, my wife, she was like, oh yeah, yeah, cool, cool, cool. And then when I took the hit, stay away from it. I was like, what the fuck? Like when I was making money, people were like, yeah, cool. And she went up to that loss. Everyone was like, get the fuck. You need to stop doing these campaigns. Oh, something like I told you so, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was like, hey, look, I'm fucked up. You know, I put my hands up to it, but I need to find out why I fucked up. So I went and did some soul searching. And at that time, I knew of MIC and I was like, no dude, like I'm gonna fuck this up. Like I did well, but I know that I'm on the wrong path here because everything becomes like so more clear when you start putting risk management and then I stop. So anyway, join my MIC, friends with the videos, I'll be honest with you, I was one of those lazy ones. Like couldn't be asked watching videos, fell asleep halfway through a video, just not concentrating. And then, man, I just like just to constant you guys telling us what the process is and following it. And it was like, yes, let's do this. So I eventually got myself a little routine, a process on the go. And the last couple of months been decent consistent, but one thing I did wrong, and this is something I wanted to share with everyone, is my account, what I did, I got caught up in some trades. Instead of selling me at a loss, I kept all of them because I had enough funds there to hold some positions. And I was like, you know what? Fuck it, I fucked up, I'm gonna hold it. So I was down like 20%, 30% in certain tickets, I was down like 40%. And I was like, fuck it, I can like, I can hold them for a long period of time. Three months, six months, whatever. And yesterday, yesterday, literally yesterday, what I did, I had a good trade, I made a decent amount of money, a couple of grand, and I was like, you know what, dude? Like, I'm just gonna take everything off my portfolio. Like, just, I just, luckily I've not lost any money. I'm still up, and I'm still happy that I'm up. I just, I took like about 8,000 pounds lost in that sort of portfolio. And I just cleared it all up. And it's, I look, I'm sorry, I've got like a, no positions. How's it feel? How's it feel? I messaged Harry Hoss. I was like, dude, I need to speak to you. I need to speak to you. I need to speak to someone. Let them know that today I have started my trading career. Like today I feel like this is me born again, ready to go. Like I did a couple of trade. I was out today with the family. I came back. I've got a couple of scouts. There's nothing to be excited about, but I pay for my locates. Homo. I don't have that anymore. I mean, we all do. Yeah. This is great. Working for us. Really, this is awesome here because I'm going to tell you something. That's the best feeling is when you remove the chains, the weight from your back. Every day you're looking at that shit praying it affects your mind. Bro, this is exactly why I want to share with everyone this, right? I was doing well. I was like consistently making my two three hundred dollars a day. It was like life changing for me. It's like, you know, I'm a businessman. I've always like sort of did my own thing. So I had all my own independence, but this is the next level of, like, you know, you trade equity for freedom. And that's what it means for me. For me, it's like the time. Like I went out, spent the whole afternoon with the family, took them out for a nice day out and I'm back. I've made the money. A couple hundred pounds up on the day because I'm confident in what I'm doing now. But the reality is, is removing all that unnecessary fucking noise that I've got in my portfolio has made me mentally so much more confident and so much more clear. And it's like if you guys bought stuff like that lurking and stopping you from moving forward, just take it back. Exactly right, man. You're delaying over here, but I'm going to comment while you delay. If I took it all off earlier, it would have been a loss. I wouldn't have been up in my account. I was down. So I had to make sure that the balance was right and I didn't feel bad about taking the loss. So what I said to myself is like, I've taken a loss from my profits. So it's not really money that I invested initially. Let me tell you, you got saved. Karma, you're a good guy. You've got blast to be able to restart and up. Bro, I'm still up. I'm still up a couple of thousand from my initial. And that for me is like the biggest win is like the mind, clear mind. Like clear portfolio, clear mind. Now I can do my max loss for the day. Set my max loss and know that today, if shit goes wrong, I've got my max loss set there for the day and that's the worst case scenario. Now every day is not going to be opening day. We know that, but the thing is every day is going to be a set losing day. You know what you're going to be set out to lose. Use your hard stop. It's something that I never used to use now. It's like, as soon as my trade gets triggered, the first thing I do is boom, okay. I love this. Dude, like the community is amazing. The guys are amazing. Like everyone's good and we all reach out. I suppose some people like to stay quiet. That's quite cool. And then they saw, you know, it's everyone's different approach to the market. Listen, anybody want to ever chat, just talk generally about trading. What about like I do fuck all like my family they're busy. They're enjoying the self. They're away and stuff. Like when I'm trading, this is my job. So they know not to come and disturb me. So if anybody wants to like chat and share experiences, just like the LE 30 for me, I'll talk. I'm like, hey, listen, I love talking. I like meeting new people. And dude, this is like day one for me now. I'll tell you what, man. I'm going to tell you what, this is the great mindset that not many people can do. I'm so glad that you are now a man. Carry these positions. You are up day and night. Keep looking at the quotes every time you go out. Like, dude, like how much down is not how much I'm up today. It's how much done am I going to be today? And it's like, dude, it's like when you look back at the trades that you made and you're like, how the fuck did I like buy that high? Like why what was I thinking like it was zombie hour. Why am I buying zombie like, you know, and it's like for me, because I've done it long enough now to understand what's what's been stupid and what's been sort of risk taken. It's like, dude, don't be stupid. Like, you know, the money's there. You'll get it. But you just wait. And it's that's the hardest bit. The formal. I think it's killing a lot of people. It is the genuine. The market is mental. Like, yes, I've been doing it for a couple of years now. And like as an amateur, as a novice and as a newbie, even me, it's like madness, bro, the reclaims and, you know, the way it reversals and it's like, dude, never used to happen. Never. Like, once it's done, it was done. Once it's like, if it's if it's a long position, it was a long position. Nobody sold everybody. Hell, you know, two days, three days, and then some of them run for a week, you know. And now it's like, fuck, dude, like within 10 minutes, you're like down. You know, you've got adjust. And I'll tell you, man, I love this stress free life where I'm not constantly checking my phone every moment when I'm out. You know, it's all in there. It's all in the head, man. I tell you that it fucks you up. Listen, I told you, I'll make like a thousand pounds or two thousand pounds on a specific day, right? Perfect. Good. And I count my size. That's a decent return, right? Now, I could have, I could have Oops, it went lag. Let's wait for his, his Wi-Fi went internet. Okay. Yeah, so I'm saying, I could have made the last one thing we heard. But because of my portfolio, like it completely like the most makes me it completely like takes away the success of the trade. It just makes me feel like I've not done anything that, you know, although it was a successful trade and I made a shit load of money, it was meant nothing to me because the, the old PNRE, PNL is fucking with my mindset. Yeah, even though technically, like, technically I'm up. So, dude, that is one of the biggest like hurdles in my trading career that I've come overcoming. I'm hoping like fingers crossed, everything goes to plan and I, and I stick to my discipline and basically, like I said, a new chapter a new beginning. If I, if I make a profits on the day, it goes green. If it's a red then it's controlled and then that's it. Risk management, my friend. Now you understand risk management is very key. You know, you have to take the management law. I love it. Hard stuff. Let me ask you this. How is the pandemic the corona affecting your area? You know, because like, now if you have those bars, would they be shut down? So, I, I own a small nightclub in the town. I live in a small town. 20,000 population. It's like a beautiful coastal village. It's spectacular. It's got like a very old castle and it's just, it's beautiful. It's amazing. It's a coastal village. It's where it's beautiful. Fuck! Like my nightclub. I don't think I'll ever get in, like, in any time soon. Like, I'll probably be by early next year before I even get to open it. Wow. So, like So, this has been a blessing. So, this is a great blessing. Listen, every day I count my blessings for that because have I had not learned how to trade and have I not learned the process of MIC and the discipline that you guys like, you know, hammer into us and keep on reminding us hard stops, fucking process zombie hour, all these key words like, you know, you know, all these things everybody will sooner or later figure out it will just ring in their heads like boom, boom, boom 10, 30, fucking no no, no short positions get the fuck out. Reversal time. 3 o'clock reversal. Let's just take advantage of that last few hours of trading and you know, it's practice, bro. For me, I've got so much to learn so much to learn and so much more discipline to gain, but it will all come in good time as long as I can take small steps because I'm not getting ahead of myself, you know, it's hard for someone to go from making 50, $60,000 a trade profit to making $500 a day a trade, you know and that's where I'm fucked up initially is because, you know I shouldn't have probably done that because it doesn't help me in any way but I had to reset myself in a big way because that, again, that was kind of like fucking up with my ego it's like, yo bro, man, like $500, $550,000 and it's like, dude, don't do shit like that, don't be a dick, you know what I mean be humble, be yourself and appreciate the fact that the blessing is there like you put in the graph the effort you will get rewarded people don't people don't understand to swing up and down $50,000, you have to be ready to take a $50,000 a lot you know, you imagine it was embev, it was embev embev that I made that big trade on and it went up for three days and the third day it just collapsed and the have I had not taken the profit I would have been minus and believe me you, netlist was a semiconductor stock about 2018 I took $20,000 loss on that one, I was up $36,000 on the day, I screen shorted the profits PNL to my wife say, look what I've done I've managed to make a decent amount of profit today, she was like take the money out, sell the shares bro, the whole entire day it was, it went down a little bit, so the grid kicked in it's going to go back up it was floating around the $25,000 profit mark the whole entire afternoon even zombie, never zombie it just held and then towards the close of the trading day it plummeted to minus from my account from being $36,000 profit it went to minus $18,000 to $22,000 I just looked at myself and thought yeah man, I'm glad because this is the thing I tell people it's good to learn this early on so that you get out of your system how you're going to start the rest of your life because imagine if you learn this later in your career it could be very catastrophic you could have lost your entire bankroll your whole life bro, ego takes over bro, once you do well the problem with our sort of mindset is when we are consistent and when we're making these large figures the ego certainly certainly does get in the way because you think, you know what, fuck it you know, but the risk management is what's going to save everyone in this game and it's proven by you guys that have been doing it for a long time is risk, look at Alex's situation today, like the man's a rock star but he did what he needed to do, he protected his back and he just fucking moved on tomorrow's another day, man's probably going to do $100,000 tomorrow you know, it's like you could be a superstar but if a superstar has days off who's your tab? Az, who's your tab? I'm a lonely lonely, lonely person right now nobody wants to be my tab you know what man, after this interview I'm pretty sure you're going to get a lot of messages my friend you're going to have a ton of tab options because I think the tab is very important you have a lot to help people and you know, as a human being we need someone to talk about traits so it's very good to have we'll make sure you get a tab this week bro, listen, that's what it's all about listen, I have a huge one out to one or two people I do speak to a few people on the chat room but see, I think I tried to fill up the tab form but I fucked up, I don't know why I did with it but I'm quite impatient when I don't like filling up forms I'm quite a lazy person when it comes to process but if anybody wants someone to listen, I haven't chose my bias yet because I started off long and now all I've been doing for the past month is shorting and bro, shorting is a lot more stress-free than long as long as you can see the hard stops in the place yes so you don't have to pick a bias there are situations where there are situations where you look you can be both bias there's nothing wrong with shorting both sides yes I think it's really hard to go find one because especially if someone like me that stayed long dude, I only could go long because my accounts were even margin accounts, I was so naive to the situation everything I bought was meant to have gone up and that's where I fucked up initially is not knowing that you have to have a margin this is how naive I was I opened like three different brokers and basically every single one of them were cash accounts and I was like, so I'm buying these pump and dumps and obviously getting caught up in every single one of them and I've got tens of thousands of dollars stuck in like trades that are completely going against me because like, what the fuck everybody's buying whatever so then I realized hold on this isn't happening because we're in the UK it's limited to what brokers can like service you so trade zero is who I trade with I am considering the idea of Cobra but right now trade zero seems to be working for me at the moment I spoke to Tom Diesel and he was right like right now trade zero seems to be working for me but when I'm ready for Cobra I'll go for Cobra because it is like the locates and all that I can see the advantage of Cobra is like you know I wake up early as in I'm up like three, four in the morning on the markets you know because of our time differences so like I've got like two, three hours prior to the market even like pre-market pre-market you know so like I can take advantage of that and get myself organized like as soon as like the 4am bell like sort of activities start like I'm already an hour in front of the computer you know what I mean so it's like you already did your planning yep yeah so someone like Cobra like I could go and get three shares take advantage of their you know MIC loyalty sort of approach that they do you know get some free borrow get your day set up Cobra seems okay it's like right now I've got to work towards that and that's because we're still learning every day yep long lag yeah so it's all about learning man it takes forever but the journey amazing like I think we've got something to learn every day the market is different every moment and it's just like trying to understand it and try to get in sync with it it's just going to take time and like as I'm not in a rush and I'm not telling myself like let's do this overnight because now I can't clear you're the boy no no I'm like you know what this is your opportunity to do it right well thanks man I appreciate everything you've done hey Zeeley dude awesome man thank you for letting me talk to you thank you for sharing your journey that's been amazing man I love hearing that and we'll set you up I appreciate that and I appreciate everybody we'll see you in the channel I appreciate it and I will see you on the chat room I think it's about to die yeah that max thanks guys and everybody all the best for the rest of the day we'll see you in the chat room man friend take it easy bro thank you very much all the best alright guys I think IG live in the max limit so I will see you guys back online thanks for attending see you guys
