ICT X Space | Something New Under The Sun | May 10, 2025

Good morning. The early bird gets the worm, huh? 352 people. That's good enough to have a conversation. Usually, I wait till around a thousand people join in. But I know most of you are either hung over, sleeping in, or just trying not to do anything on a Saturday, which is fine. But if y'all could just take a second, if you would, and just post back to me that you can hear me. Okay. 555 would be adequate. Let me know. I should be okay. I'm sitting right next to the uh my house has these connection devices that allow the internet supposedly uh my house has these connection devices that allow the internet supposedly to be bounced around better. So, I should be okay today. If not, then that'll prove that they're trying to keep you from hearing me. Awesome. Thank you so much.

So, anyway, hope you're all doing well today. I had to uh do some special navigation today to get in here before my wife commandeers my my schedule for the weekend. As you know, we have in the United States to be celebrating Mother's Day tomorrow. So, if you're listening, don't forget I've made the mistake like once in my lifetime and that never will happen again. So, uh, the title of this one here is something new under the sun. And obviously, it's a, you know, play on words as I usually like to do either somewhere in my presentation or in the title of the the spaces.

What prompted me with this one, cuz I had no intentions of really doing one, but I got up this morning. I was going through the normal comedy strips that I look on X and this into the people that think they know what they're talking about, or they think they know me or they think they know what you're learning is rebranded this that and the other thing and I saw um I replied to them, well, not that I'm directly one of their their posts garnered the attention of the fanboys that love to sit around and circle jerk and say that they uh didn't know everything about ICT and it's rebranded and he said that Larry Williams is the real author of SMC. See, and they're pulling up books that I told you to buy yourself. Short-term Secrets to Long-Term Success by Larry Williams, which is kind of it's a hodgepodge of uh a lot of his stuff he's done throughout his, you know, his teaching. And I'm not dumping on Larry Williams, okay? So, don't don't take this out of context. I'm just stating let's let's be factual here.

Um, just for your history lesson, I'm not going to go through everything that I use in my repertoire down to the the infinite detail here because obviously that I'd be spending more time just pointing to things I already said in my YouTube channel. But, uh, there are some things that obviously inspired me to either improve upon or to outright say that is not true. That's not what's going on. like buying and selling pressure is a myth. That's actually not what's going on. Price action. I think you can clearly see that now. And anyone that's denying that is either selling a course which is wrapped around some [ __ ] you know, logic that retail, ichimoku, supply and demand, Elliot wave, you know, whiteoff, you know, all those things. They're all they're all gimmicks. They're gimmicks, folks. Okay? There's a burst in uh the Bible says there's nothing new under the sun. And people take that and they stretch it to bounds that encompass things that it didn't really mean. For instance, the world record is only the world record until it's broken. And guess what? That becomes a new world record. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge. The idea of technology increasing. Well, take trading for example since that's what we're here for, right? We used to trade with handdrawn charts. I came from that generation. In fact, I was the last generation before electronic trading kicked in. A lot of you listening weren't even alive yet. Weren't even an itch in your daddy's jock yet. And guess what? You have no idea what it was like to be trading back then when margins were much more reasonable and commissions were exorbitant. Now you have extremely cheap commissions and you have everything at your fingertips and yet you still cry like little babies because it isn't spoonfed to you. Not all of you, but you know the people in the community, not just my community in in finit. You you know who they are. So technology has changed. Something new under the sun. We have the ability to push a button and charts are populated on our charts, in our phone, in our hand. Think about it. You have more power in your hand than the president of the United States had 30 years ago. That's wild. But you don't recognize it because the rate of technology is speeding up so fast. Everything's obsolete 10 minutes ago.

So the the the expression is and this is what I draw your attention to today because it's just more or less for me to have fun today. kind of like this set set the record straight too just kind of inspire you to know that what you're learning is from the real McCoy himself, me and what you're learning isn't anywhere else despite someone showing you a chart in a book that I actually recommended you buy. So for for the sake of uh completion here if you so desire to collect certain trading books I have over 2,000 and I don't literally believe that the majority of those, not even 2% of them are worth even opening up. Most of it's regurgitating the same things. It's redundancy. Um, it is almost ambiguous plagiarism where they don't know what they're talking about, but they're all repeating one another. That's that's the whole collection of the pursuit of trying to learn how to trade buying books. So, I did all that stuff. But the few books that I do like, I've mentioned before, but I'll say here in and I don't mean this to be a complete list, but Larry Williams, how he made a million dollars trading commodities last year, 1970s book, most of the stuff in that book was what you saw me come out on baby pips with, and said, "Here it is." And over time, I've already told you that that was a graduated. This is where I started in this process, in this order of how I learned, what indicators I looked at, what indicators I done away with. That was actually directly right from journal entries of my own progress because I wanted to see if I could create another ICT 2.0. No, given the the focus on the things I was going in this order using these concepts, these principles, these indicators, these things, will you abandon 99.9% of that stuff and see what I saw? And none of you did. Not one of you did. They would have been all over the place popular and grown a huge following and it didn't happen. So, I was disappointed because I was hoping I was going to create like a Frankenstein monster in the same situation, but uh it didn't happen that way. But Larry Williams book, Short-Term Secrets to Long-Term Success, that book is uh kind of like his version of Street Smarts. You just take a look at that presentation style and I think he kind of like applied it to his own tools and things that he he used over the years. And there's a section there where he says, you know, here's a breakout and then he's trading the other direction. Okay? And what people don't realize is those ideas, they're not they're not unique to anyone. Larry Williams didn't create that.

Um, Linda Rash and and Larry Connor's book, Street Smarts, they had these like little bullet point ideas of of trading setups. And I believe that's a good book, too, and only because it had a big impact on me in understanding stop hunts because I didn't see that as a thing until around well 1995 I started feeling the pain of it and I I didn't want to admit what I was feeling was likely true which was those guys are out to get me, okay. And Larry Williams had always said, you know, there are people out there that say those guys did it to us guys. Again, that's verbatim coming out of his teachings. That's how he says it. And his view, and if it hasn't changed, I wouldn't know. But at least for a long, long time, Larry held true to you, you put your stop loss in the wrong place. Yeah, that's true. That's true, Larry. That's absolutely true. If you get stopped out, you did put your stop loss in the wrong place, but you placed it exactly where they want you to place it. And understanding where those stops will be placed in advance is a skill set that I teach. Not just simply, oh, here's a breakout and it reverses. And if you look at what he teaches in his books, and I've said this before, initially I could not make that part work, which is selling weakness and buying strength. I I just I just couldn't make it work for me. And because I am a contrarian heart, you I consider myself a breaker as the Bible teaches. I I'm I'm standing in the way. And I I look at things like when Larry said he wanted to know how to buy below the opening price and know that he could do it. He had one entry method called oops where if you open less than the previous range and rallies back up 20% of the previous range. That's one iteration of it by the way. He's had several iterations of oops over the years. The original is simply taking 20% of the previous range and if it opens less than or below the low of the previous range if it rallies back 20%. He'd be a buyer of that and then use like a huge stop loss. At the time I couldn't weather that. Like I couldn't at that time I didn't have the money to be able to do that and the guts really. So I I listened to what he said where he admitted a weakness on his part and said he he wished he knew the zip code of the traders that was buying below the opening price on large range states. So that was like whoa if I could figure that out not only would I impress him but I'd be able to do something he couldn't do and that would feel like amazing you feat. So that's what I set out to do for years. I worked on methodology of looking at examples of where it did this and where it did that over the years. And long and short of this is sometimes I felt like I was on the right path. Other times I felt like I was completely going in a circle and wasn't figuring anything out and then finally it clicked. By having uh Street Smart's book, the simplicity of just watching that book outline how the turtles, who were really big deals back then when I first started, like they were like they were the the the secret society of traders that everybody wanted to delve into. What were they doing? How are they making these hundreds of millions of dollars, you know? And it came out that their strike rate was extremely low. You know, in the 30% likelihood that the trade they would take would be profitable. Now, would you be willing to take 70% plus losing trades and feel like you got a winning system? To me, it made no sense. So, quickly, I was like, "Oh, well, they don't know anything. They just they're just getting lucky." They're a long-term trend methodology. So these long-term trends allow them and afforded that type of trading to yield huge winners because it took a long time for trades to get stopped out. But they got stopped out a lot frequently. So, Linda and Larry, not Larry Williams, but Larry Connors, co-authored a book, and they talked about this false breakout pattern of a 20-day high or a 21-day high breakout and then go short if it fails. And again, look at these examples in the book, Larry Williams short-term trading and I'm sorry, short-term secrets to long-term success uh book, which is wonderful. And look at Street Smart's books. Okay. Now, you're going to see these books in open, high, low, close format. That's the language we used back then until we got comfortable with the idea that candlesticks are better on the eyes. It's easier to see what you're looking for instead of straining for the little dash for the opening price and a dash to the right of the bar for the closing price. And if you look real real close, folks, you look real real close, you'll see my fair value gap in their charts that they're not making any mention of. And they're going right to the consequent encroachment and then the turn happens but they're selling short on weakness way down below those levels or buying way above it. So when you see those types of things and they don't exist in woff books either anywhere you see these things and you see people say well it's be it's IT rebranding it and guess what I found Chris Lor's deleted tweet where he says very plainly in his own words when I asked him because I threatened to bring him into a lawsuit because I had someone act like a [ __ ] and they've been since humbled and I told you they would h it would happen just like that. But he said, "No, no, I don't see your stuff in there." But he basically said it like this, "No." And he gives some [ __ ] spin- on words to save face publicly because I caught him in emails talking two-faced. One side of his mouth, he's talking to me in an email. And then one of those people saying, "Yeah, ICT ripped you off." Oh yeah, everybody's figured him out by now. I made that guy lots of money by putting people onto him. And you never seen him trading. You saw him putting a line saying, "Okay, we're going to watch this and we're going to watch that." That's not [ __ ] trading. That's not trading. He invited me into his [ __ ] Okay? He invited me. And I told him in an email, I said, "I will make this stuff public unless you come out right now because I know I know you don't do any [ __ ] thing like I'm doing." And I found his tweet and I'm going to repost it. I'm just trying to come up with a way where I can do it with a little bit of cander because I could be a real [ __ ] But why would you delete that? Why would you delete a comment that says, "No, no, ICT. No, Michael. I don't see my own work in there because you want people to believe I did that. And see, you [ __ ] up because I'm that kind of guy. I am that kind of guy that will rub your [ __ ] nose in it. Chrissy, that Olympic compet competition state of mind. You [ __ ] up, buddy. You [ __ ] up. I am the [ __ ] man in trading. I am the [ __ ] that can do this. I plan and schedule my losing trades. I told you this week. I know where I'll mess up. I've done the work on that area. Okay? But ain't a [ __ ] walking this planet going to be able to say that I took their stuff and rebranded anything. If anything, if stuff that worked in my hands when I was younger, I improved it. I made it work. I made it applicable. I made it where you can go in the trucks and see it and set your clocks to it. SMT divergence. I've been very very open about it. The idea and the premise came from Larry Williams book how I made a million dollars in commodities last year and he's talking about comparing like markets. I said this when I was teaching it. I've always maintained it and I've always given his flowers and his credit looking at a commodity looking at closely correlated commodities. Well, doesn't it go without saying that if you apply that to currencies, in his own words, this works really, really well trading the currency market. What do you think I was doing as a forex trader? I'm going to do that. But there was no real name for it. You know, it was just relative strength analysis. Yeah. I didn't like that the term because it sounded like the relative strength strength index and I hated that indicator. I hated it. Despised it. So I called it SMT, smart money technique, smart money tool. To me, it's it's applicable. I didn't go around and trademark it and say, "Can I put a trademark on it?" You can't say it. I mean, it's it's it's so small. It's insignificant in what it is that I do. I don't need a chart, folks. Okay? I'm be I'm before the chart. Before you see your chart, I already know it. I've proven this to you. But yet, you deny it. And the people that are struggling, they can't stand it. They're going to tell you or other people that are willing to listen to the [ __ ] and say, "This is all rebranded. It's never been seen. It's always been seen like this. It's always been like this." No, it hasn't. No, it's not. You've never seen anybody calling it to the tick. You've never seen anybody do that. Now, I I've never seen Al Brooks trade. I've never seen Al Brooks call every one minute candle. I've never told I've never seen anyone tell me that he could tell you the time that the setups are going to form. I've never seen that. And maybe you're going to hear all the ambian sound in the background cuz I'm doing my normal routine. Oh, the day in the life of ICT. We're hearing it. Yeah, you're hearing it. You're going to see it. It's just boring. But I uh I I love reading these guys when they when they put these little comments up there and saying that it's nothing there's nothing new under the sun. Let me tell you something. Everything I teach is a new ray of sunshine every single time I present it because I'm giving you something that you aren't supposed to know. You're not supposed to know that. See, everybody knows about RSI. Everybody knows about Bollinger bands. Everybody knows about supply and demand zones. And why is it that everybody's making money with that stuff? If it's so obvious and this is the way the markets work, why isn't blind profile cracking the code for everybody and they're all retired and where's the yachts at? Where's all the That was the expression when I came out. The funny expression everybody said if there was going to be a meme back then being shared. Memes weren't a thing back then, but funny oneliners were. I um that's where my wit comes from. It came I came up in that industry because I was never really woody as a a young man. I was quiet and my sense of uh sarcasm and snarky responses has been conditioned over the years when I was on internet related chat. So you had to be fast on your feet back then because people that were very very good at talking down to other people. They could slice and dice you pretty quick. So I had a lot of scar tissue built up over the years. So that's why I have a remark that comes right off the cuff real fast. And some of these 20-year-olds they're not prepared for it. But this uh this idea that there's nothing new under the sun. I make a mockery of that every day on social media. I tell you where the market's going to go. I set up the people that don't believe in what I'm teaching. I give them exactly what they think they're they believe. They believe that I only trade demo. They believe that I have 20 different computers and I'm recording everything, but yet I still show the same [ __ ] trades. Scroll to the left. ICT. Scroll to the left. It's still there. Do that on your demo account that keeps getting reset. You can't do that. You can't You can't do it. Why do you keep showing that the market hours is open tab? What's the point of that? The point is it's not market replay. The point is is I'm rubbing your nose in it. That's the point. Because there is something new under the sun. There's lots of things that are new that I've never shown before. All the stuff you've seen to this point is still nothing. It's nothing. That's why I have such a great time on social media because reading these people pretend that they know what you're talking about is your progress learning. You're coming away from retail logic or obviously um if you're smart and you didn't get bogged down with all that stuff initially as a retail trader, you're kind of coming in with a perspective that if you've never seen indicator trading, if you've never seen other schools of thought in retail aspects, as soon as you start looking at it, you're like, "What in the hell is this? And why would anybody look at that versus what the price is doing and what time it is? That's it. Where's the liquidity? Where's the inefficiencies? And what day of the week is it? And where are we at in the daily range time wise? That's that's all that matters because the algorithm only cares about that. It doesn't care about your ichimoku position based on a cow, based on a candlestick pattern, based on a moving average crossover, based on an overvaluation or an undervaluation of an indicator that absolutely has no bearing on what price is going to do. If there's nothing new under the sun, why does all these new forms of indicator keep coming out? Again, you're trying to stretch something to comfort you because you're seeing [ __ ] that shouldn't exist. I told you I had to I had to do it wrong, baby. I had to do it wrong. And see, you don't believe it. You don't believe it because it's too good to be true. And I take that as a compliment. Thank you. Thank you, detractors. Thank you, doubters. Thank you, people that call me a scammer. I love it because without you, the people learning and seeing in their own hands wouldn't be even more motivated by it. You not having said so, that's like a pinch to them that yes, this shit's real and yes, you are being cut out of a mold that few people can press themselves into. See, you you you have this normalcy bias, folks, that you deny me, you deny what I teach, and deny what I prove beyond a shadow of a doubt. I'm out here where I have to be right. Not you as a student. You don't have to be right. See, the people that sell mentorships, they love the idea that I'm trying to teach you to be right. No, I'm teaching you how to operate and not demand perfection and still be profitable. But daddy can walk this [ __ ] every day and come home a winner because it's my stuff. It's mine. I know when they're going to work and when they're not really going to work. I know that. What I don't know is when they're going to step in and intervene manually. And I have protocols and procedures for that. I know where I'm likely to fail. I know I know buying during a protraction where the market's going to reach down into a lower PD array for a discount then go higher. Well, that makes a perfect scenario to go in there and do I'm going to go long here and put a very, very small stop loss, extremely small. So that way it looks like I messed up. And the trolls get fingerpitched and salivate and they can't wait. Oh, look at this guy. He invented the algorithm. He took a loss. And then a really sh Oh, took another loss. Look at that. Look at that. And then it delivers. Then it delivers. Goes right where I said it was going to go. Went above it a little bit. Thursday's high and then Friday's nonpart payroll uh Friday high last week. And that's about all we got in it. That daily fair value gap trade down into it. Didn't close below it. And we stayed inside pretty much the range I outlined. but trading in the direction of that higher buy the coding pool on NQ's daily chart. So that that's we're we're not seeing nothing new under the sun. We're seeing something new under the sun. We're seeing proficiency. We're seeing consistency. We're seeing foresight. We're seeing precision-based ideas that are unrivaled in this industry. That's something new, folks. When I was coming up, we didn't have that. We didn't have one guy or one style of trading leading entirely all the time in first position all the time. But see, you're in a you're in that moment right now. You are in a a GAN moment. You are in a wakeoff moment. You are in a Jesse Livermore moment. You're listening to the person right now that all of those [ __ ] will be sitting in my classroom taking notes. And if that has a problem, it makes you all uncomfortable. This guy's arrogant. That's not arrogance. That's the absolute facts. That is absolute fact because you never seen them go out there and do that. You know, Gan wasn't even a profitable guy. Weren't prepared for that. Jesse Livermore blew his brains out because he went bust. But

These these are the people that you all think I copied, and I don't have anything from them.

Wonderful stories in terms of don't do this, but they would all be listening to this space right now if they were here, and they'd be looking at everything I ever put out there because what I'm teaching you never existed before. Just because you're looking at the same price charts and you're looking at [ __ ] after it's happened, that's easy to say this resembles something. So none of these people come forward and says this is what this procedure, this is the methodology calls for this, this, and this. And ICT is going to be able to say his this, this, this, this is going to line up. Have you ever seen anybody doing that? Because it's never [ __ ] happened. I've challenged it. I've said it all the time. If my stuff is something else, save everybody time. Save them time. Get $5 million from me in a direct wire where you've proven beyond a shadow of doubt that whatever I'm teaching institutional order flow entry drill civies buy side and balance side all these things where they're going to form the first presentation of them and how they're going to be used throughout the week and the day. See folks, George Anel with S&P trading, he never had the [ __ ] I'm teaching; it did not exist.

See, in the beginning, I knew when I told people these were the people that were influential to me. It doesn't mean that they make my trading special. They were influential to me. What I learned from George Angel was the day was divided because this guy was a floor trader; the the the eb and flow of what the market was doing, how these rushes of volume coming in, that's what made floor traders profitable. They could see the orders coming in. They could watch this massive shift where, man, there's a lot of buying. There's a lot of buying. And they all knew where the whale accounts were. And when these big whale accounts would be start buying, what are they going to do? They're going to dog pile on top of it. They only need a little bit. Put a little bit in their hands down there in the pits. You could be making millions of dollars in a month. But trading because of patterns and [ __ ] that's not what they were doing. They didn't have the luxury of having charts. They're standing down there in the pits listening to these people rage about being short or being long, getting in and getting out. So they dogpile. That's all floor trading was. Yes, they had the pivot numbers. They knew that it was likely going to gravitate to that level down there, but really what they were watching was the order flow that was literally in their [ __ ] hands. Ticket runners running down to the pit screaming, "I got an order. I got an order. This is what I got. This is how many contracts." And they start ripping it across all they're they're hollering out there. Some of you 20-year-olds don't even know what the [ __ ] that means. You have no idea what the [ __ ] you're talking about half the time, let alone how these markets booked before they were electronic. I have floor traders, very successful floor traders that were in my [ __ ] mentorship that paid to learn from me because they couldn't do [ __ ] when they left the pit. Couldn't transition. Couldn't do it. They don't have a problem now. But you're learning technical science. You are in something that's new under the sun. You're experiencing something where they're going to write books about all of this stuff, and you were here when it happened.

See, when you read a book about Gan, you read a book about Whiteoff, you read a book about Dao, Charles Dao, you know, you don't really have an affinity for that. I know I didn't. I was like, you know, you know, whatever. To me, it sound like Stalin, Abraham Lincoln, you know, people. Yeah, they may be existent, but really, who gives a [ __ ] See, I I put out there a persona like Stone Cold Steve Austin because it causes people to argue and wrestle and reason. Does this guy know what he's talking about? Or is he full of [ __ ] And I love fanning the flames to have just enough for the people that don't want to warm up to the idea because they have hero mentality of loving something else that they're going to talk, and that talking advertises for me. It's the same broken people that do it, and they are employed by me and they work for free. Their hate is a 100% validation to what you're learning sets you apart. These people that complain and say these things that I'm teaching are rebranded. They've never came forward and proven anything. Not one thing. And the proof is again I'm making it public. I have 5 million US 100% real [ __ ] money. Someone still has yet to come out and say here's where he gets the time for that fair value gap. This is the the aspect of where he wants to use the lower half and the upper half when it changes and change the state of delivery.

Listen folks, there has never been ever people talking, oh Chris Lori, Chris Lori, Chris Lori couldn't do [ __ ] if we sat by one by one. And you're I know you're going to hear it because they're going to give you the soundbite. Chris, I will invite you to use the stuff that you do right now. And if you do it better, I will give you a million dollars or I'll give you a million dollars to your charity of choice. But it has to be live streamed, and we have to put it in a real account just one day. That's an easy That's easy. Easy. And I promise you, I will bring out five things I've never [ __ ] taught before that'll roll your [ __ ] socks up. Now, put your money where your mouth is. Don't be double-minded. Don't speak out both sides of your mouth. When a fanboy or fan girl talks to you and says, "Oh, yeah, this guy ICT is arrogant, blah, blah, blah." But you're so humble. You're not [ __ ] humble. You're a [ __ ] fraud. You don't go on public social media and say, "No, I don't see your stuff." And and showing my stuff in it. I don't see that. And then delete the [ __ ] tweet. I told you I was gonna get that [ __ ] tweet. And I I almost didn't want to screenshot it because I was like, "Nah, he's upstanding." He came out and he pretty much did it. But behind the scenes, I told him that I'm going to drag his ass into a lawsuit and he was going to testify that what I'm doing ain't his [ __ ] That's how far I was willing to go back then. So, he came out and did it. And I thanked him for it. But then the tweets disappeared now. Tweet has been removed. Why would that why would you want to do that? Because that helps promote the idea that you think that other people and some people they're stupid will really believe that I took Chris Lory's stuff. I've been trading longer than Chris Lori. I've been teaching longer than Chris Lori. Okay. I am absolutely 100% willing to do this against anyone, and I've done I've shown all of you Billy Big Bogs uh what's his name? Lance Mr. Couple million dollars here and there with other people's money. I told him let's go crickets ran away. Keep frauding. Keep scanning. I'm calling it before it happens. I'm telling you what's going to happen and I'm [ __ ] taking trades and dumb [ __ ] Dumb [ __ ] Open up a [ __ ] AMP account or someone with a live AMP account. Okay. Put the [ __ ] orders on your screen. Put the orders on your screen and it's going to look the same [ __ ] way. Come on. These people are stupid. They're [ __ ] stupid. They can't accept what they're seeing is real. They can't It It's completely blowing their [ __ ] minds. And I love that. I love that because I got a lot of new students in the last two years that hated my [ __ ] guts and they're like, "You know what? Your your your presentation style really got under my skin and I wanted to prove you wrong, but damn it, when I went in there, it was a bitter pill for me to swallow and say, you know what? He's right. He got me." Because I want you to hate me. I want you to not trust me. I want you to [ __ ] go in there and say, "You know what? I'm going to prove this son of a [ __ ] a liar. And guess what happens? You're a [ __ ] convert. You're convinced because you can't escape it. When you do the real work, you can't escape. What I'm teaching you is the market because I am the [ __ ] algo. I'm making it very plain and telling you right now, I am the [ __ ] market maker. I am the [ __ ] that runs your stop. I am the [ __ ] that sets the daily high and low. I am the [ __ ] that works out all this [ __ ] in advance. And if you can't see it, if you can't recognize it, if you don't know what the [ __ ] I'm talking about, it went completely over your [ __ ] head. And you deserve to be right where you're at because you're not want you're not trying to learn. You're trying to listen to all these people talk out their ass. And they can't do [ __ ] They can't do anything but talk out their ass. What do you think I'm doing every [ __ ] day? What do you think I'm doing? It's not magic tricks. Price is only going to go where everybody sees it go. And it's going where I say it's going to go. And it's say it's it's not simply saying enough that yeah, I I can trade. It's not enough to say that. Not for me. It ain't. It's not enough to say that I can be consistent in front of all of you. That's not enough for me. I want to [ __ ] twist that dull edge over and over and over again for the people that have lied and talked [ __ ] And they're silent. They can't say [ __ ] and have any meaning behind it. Look at all the people that are standing out in our industry right now. They're among you. They are your brethren. They have been in the same position you're in right now, listening to the same person talk to you right here, right now. What changed? What changed? The two biggest paid out traders in the prop firm industry. And I'm only I'm only talking about the prop industry because it's a hot topic right now. But I have students that have quadrupled both Kyle and King in one year. But they don't give a [ __ ] about your acceptance of them. They don't want to be bounded. What model do you use? What PDF do you use? What are you doing? Because that's exactly what everybody does. Well, how do you use an ICT? It doesn't matter what anybody else is doing. How are you using what I taught? That was the invitation. But both Kyle and Kane have been honest. They said they were [ __ ] wrecks as traders. They they they were doing all kinds of stuff. They tried everything. They tried every [ __ ] thing. But my life's work made them millionaires. Sure. Absolutely. They had to condition themselves, and 90% of the work was done by them. Don't get it twisted, but how they think, how they talk. You can tell they they're one of mine. And you're here and you're in that process just like they are, just like they went through. They're not at their peak right now. It's at their highest performance right now for them. But that's not their peak. I guarantee you. I guarantee you if you gave both of them the stage to speak exactly how they want to speak and dismiss the idea of arrogance, dismiss the idea of not appearing humble. Just talk plainly. They know. They [ __ ] know that they can walk out there and smash this [ __ ] when they want. But because now they've been recognized, I'm very interested to see how they handle it. Because as a 20-year-old on America Online, I was a [ __ ] nut job. I was out there flashing everything. And I didn't have the skills I have right now. I was halfbaked, not not fully refined, but I [Music] knew I was on the right track of getting something that nobody could come close to. And when you do that day after day after day after day after day, every [ __ ] market you talk about, it does it. You think that that doesn't go unnoticed because it it it got noticed and you see people, you meet people, they question you. How you know this? How do you know that? What are you doing? How are you doing this? And how are you doing that? You're set apart. There's something new under the sun. This this aberration, this this oddity, this [ __ ] mutant, where did he come from? How is this guy able to do this? That's the question I love prying into your mind and forcing you to ask yourself every day, how am I able to do this if I'm not what I claim to be? So you're you're you're you're forced to either deal with the uncomfortable state of knowing that I'm calling this stuff before it happens and I'm showing you the executions and sliding to the left that your reset demo account won't show. So where you at with that, Virginia? Where you at with that? You can waste a whole lot of time. You can waste a whole lot of time trying to make me out to be a liar. And one quarter of the time that you put into that just working with what I'm simply inviting you to test. Test it and see if you don't see it. Test and see that you will not have any reliance on retail logic once you start looking at this way. And it gives you visibility. It gives you clarity. And here's the number one rule here. What sets me apart? I know when not to do it. Your gurus, these authors, these other educators, even the big oldtime giants, they can't tell you when not to trade because they tell you, "My systems calling for this as a buy signal right now." Okay, I have PD arrays that if I don't know the [ __ ] I'm doing, all right, looks like a bullish order block. Well, let's go long. When it trades down into it, it fails. I know. I know when that's going to happen. That's narrative. I gave you a narrative this week. Look out. Hand out in your charts. What's above Thursday and Friday's highs? Buy side by stocks. It reached primarily this week up there. It only went down to that daily bullish yellow. If you go back and look at the analysis, it went down into that by one or two ticks below it. It didn't close below it. And I told you it remains bullish until it closes below that daily fair value that was in yellow. So, we're trading inside of a predefined range with a predetermined bias, which is reaching for that higher daily buy equity pool. But narrowing our focus down to the lowhanging fruit objective for the week would be what? Thursday's high of last week where it created that wick and then Friday's non-farm payroll high. Look at your charts. Look at the first fair value gap on Monday. Look at Tuesday's first presented fair value gap, Wednesday's first presented fair value gap, Thursday's first presented fair value gap from morning and pm session and see what opportunities were were available to you; the new week opening gaps over the last five weeks. How are they used? See folks, there is absolutely something new under the sun. I have so many things to share. But the problem is it doesn't satisfy you when you learn something that makes money that forms every single [ __ ] day. That's not good enough for you. Why? Because you're infected. You're a very specific type of person. You're ICT infected. You're ICT positive. You're becoming one of me. I'm a virus to this industry. That's why I'm here. And they don't want you knowing this stuff. And if nothing ever gets released from here, we have already disrupted the entire industry. They will be talking about you as a community for a long long time. And all of you that are learning, that are becoming pillars, I promise you there are people that are about to spring onto the scene that make Kyle and King look like they just started. And gentlemen, that is not meant to be making a negative remark against you because what you've done is exceptional. But just know that you have brethren that are about to step the [ __ ] out and it's going to shock all of you. And don't think for a moment that I don't think that the folks that contact me and say, "Look, this is what I'm doing." I have no interest in being on social media. I only have an account just so I can see what you're doing. And if I wasn't on X, they wouldn't be here either. And they're smashing it day after day after day, week after week. They're pulling down what the highest leaderboard spot right now in Robins is. They're doing that every month, over and over and over again. Not in prop, not in fake monetized demo accounts. They're doing it with live brokerage accounts. And to me, I have a lot of respect for that. The fact that they don't want to come out here and show off. They don't want to be seen as anything because the ones that have been honest about it, they said, "I can see how I could get sucked into this and I got to feel like I got to live up to the last experience that I shared online." And that's what influencers have a problem with. I don't run out of yeast. I don't hit a wall in consistency. I don't get it wrong. I don't get it wrong. So they have to spend their time consoling themselves by consoling you by saying trading is mostly sitting around waiting. Trading isn't a uh perfect scenario where you can avoid a lot of the losses except them warm up to the idea that you're going to lose a lot. I don't tell you that. I don't tell you those things in the beginning. You will suffer that. You will go through that because that's where you discover who you are. You discover the very things that you self-destruct with performance anxiety, keeping up with the Joneses expressions and in mind here where you see people like even myself just just shy of 150,000 just this weekend. I didn't trade everything that's available. Wrote to him. I've been doing this account for a month and a half and look at what I'm doing. I did it in three [ __ ] days and didn't even try. Again, there's a meme. There's this little cheetah. He's sitting in the greyhound box before the race starts. And the the the meme is implying that the race has started and the cheetah is just chilling inside the box like, "You stupid [ __ ] Like, I don't need to run this race. I already I'm already at the finish line if I want to be. And this is not arrogance. I'm not bragging. I'm telling you that you're learning this craft and you're going to have the same skill. But how are you going to handle it once you get there? Because there is going to be something new under the sun for you. How are you going to deal with this success? How are you going to be able to wrestle the confidence and not allow it to become overconfidence and then you turn into a prick? See, a lot of you all want to be a Negan. You want to be a shit-talking ICT. You You all let this part of me, but I only use this character to get your attention, hold you in place, to listen cuz I always come back around and bring you Mr. Rogers, give you a little bit of Bob Ross. But I got to get your attention with the abrasive stuff because that's what sells wrestling. It ain't the [ __ ] they do inside that ring. It's the [ __ ] talking. It's the promos. It's the shooting. That's the stuff that I fell in love with as a young man. And the people I love to hate made me so mad. And the people that I looked at as a hero inspired me. Yeah, this one's going to do this. He's going to beat you up. And I t I tackle those very things in my presentation and I capture your attention and I hold your attention with that stuff. And I know there are people that have little dick energy that don't like when I do this because they think, "Oh, look, he's bragging. He doesn't have a track record. Look at what I'm [ __ ] putting down every day. These people that talk that [ __ ] they never come here and wrestle me. They never stand side by side. Let's do it. Something happens always. Something always [ __ ] happens. I'll tell you what it is. It's Velcro balls, okay? They can put them on and take them off. Mine are attached to me and I'm dragging them behind me every [ __ ] day on social media asking someone to step on them. I dare you to step on them. But they won't do it. If everything out here is something better than what you're learning, why don't they come here? Why don't they show it? Why don't they prove it? Why don't they call it every candlestick? Why don't they tell you where the [ __ ] daily high and low is going to be? Why don't they tell you beforehand? Because they can't. They won't. And that's all there is. Nobody talking [ __ ] about what you're learning can outperform it. Just remember that. That's what I'm trying to show you. When I do these types of things and I make these public stunts and stand out here and beat my chest, it's not because I need that. I do it as a reminder to the ones that are weakhearted that you're just easily influenced by other people. What do you think [ __ ] matters more? Seriously, anything that I could show over the last 33 plus years which could be fabricated. I got a lot of [ __ ] money, folks. I could pay people to do things that make everything I've ever done look like it's rainbows and [ __ ] gumdrops. And a lot of you people would foolishly believe because it was presented in a well presented with a ribbon and all kinds of you lights and and spotlights on this and accolades here and talked about this and that that's what used to be able to be employed on people to scam them. But you know what separates the people that are [ __ ] The ones that won't come out there and tell you what's going to happen beforehand. The ones that won't put an execution on, that won't place a [ __ ] stop loss and know that it won't be hit. I said that right. And know that it won't be hit. See, all these other educators out there, they don't know what the [ __ ] they're doing. They're selling [ __ ] because they need that money. If I need to live on ad revenue, why the [ __ ] am I not doing 20 [ __ ] videos a week? because I don't give a [ __ ] I don't need it. I don't need it. I'm talking to you right now and um uh there's no money. I'm not making money on this. All of you that make money by taking these presentations and put them on your YouTube, you're making the money. Think about that logic. How's that a [ __ ] winning campaign? It doesn't make any sense. But people, they just ignore it. They ignore it. They ignore the fact that your captain in arms, okay, your [ __ ] quarterback, that guy, that ICT guy is out here and telling you what's going to happen. Focus here. It's not going to do anything but this. Just focus on this. Look at these levels. [ __ ] everything else. Don't listen to anybody else. This is your mark. I'm your spotter every week. You're training to be a sniper. The spotter's job is get range. Where's your range? What are you aiming for? This level. Are you shooting downwind or upwind? Bears. I've already given you the skill set. I've already given you the ammunition. The ammunition is a PD array. What are you going to What caliber are you going to shoot with? 556 223 6 50 cal pick your poison baby 9 mm 22 long range in difference to the ladies just starting out little bit of recoil still putting rounds on target. See, I make a mockery of everything else. And if a 20-year-old knew what I know right now in me, it would have been a monster. Like, it would

I have been a monster. But over the years, I have been humbled. May not sound like it, but remember, you're listening to a character.

You know what a caricature is? It is an expression. It's an impersonation of something that is not the actual person. When you look at Brad Pitt, when you look at George Clooney, when you look at Robert De Niro, who's become a real piece of [ __ ] as of recent, and Al Pacino, okay? Um, the characters that they play in the movies, that's not them. They're artists. And on social media, you have to be a character. You have to be, or you have to be naturally interesting. I'm not naturally interesting. In my real life, away from all of you, when I'm not teaching, I'm a very, very frumpy, boring introvert. You would never hear me talk like this if we were in front of one another. But I had to put this persona on to hold your attention because you're not going to listen to the boring stuff.

I've done it for a long time. I did it on BabyPips, and nobody was paying attention. Sure, they like the little intros and they like the little vignettes of me putting in sniper stuff, and I was, I was trying to find my way to tap into the group that I wanted because men love to talk [ __ ]. We do. Women, not so much. The ones that should have been men do, or they pretend they're in. They do. Muna. Hello. The idea of looking for this attention, this "I need to get attention on myself." I'm giving that to you. I don't need this. But I know that that's what my listeners want to do in their own lives. They want to learn a skill set so they can step out there and do what they think I'm doing right now, but I'm doing it in a setting that's not monetized. They want to do it where they are monetized. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing. Get your ends met. But I don't have a naturally interesting persona. I don't. So I had to create Inner Circle Trader to draw attention. I can draw a crowd.

As a young man, I, I studied ninjutsu, and when I was learning about them, and I was like 10 years old when I first learned about him, I was like, "Wow, you know, this is crazy." Um, Stephen K. Hayes was the first American to learn under Hatsumi. He's a grandmaster of Bujinkan. And then his student Tanamura, he started off another thing, Gambukan. And I, I learned both, but it was really Bujinkan, just revamped, because he wanted to be Grandmaster, and Takamatsu said, "You're not going to be." So he tapped Hatsumi, and that was it. Well, long story short, without losing you, uh, the allure of the ninja was you had to be an actor. You had to be able to instill fear in your enemies or make them feel that you're weak when you're not. Sun Tzu's Art of War. Appear strong when you're weak. Appear weak when you're strong. The idea of selling these wrestling events. Anybody that's ever got hooked up into that, you got hooked into buying those pay-per-views or going to those events because you like the character that these men and women portray. But that's not who they are. And the ones that do very, very well on social media stay in kayfabe. Kayfabe is where you don't break character. You're like you're in, like you're in it. Like you're always in it. You're always in character. Those are the people that get really hard to determine if that's really who they are.

And for a long time, I allowed you to think that ICT is who I really am. But I'm a very, very fuddy-duddy, simple, stay-in-the-house most of the time introvert. I don't like to be around a lot of people. Not because I'm afraid to be around them. Just most people just don't know how to act and they don't have any candor. They don't have any, well, decency. You'll see when I'm down there in Florida sitting across from Patrick Wheelen. You're not going to see this ICT. You're going to see Mr. Rogers. You're going to see dad. You're going to see just like my, my son sees. That's, that's how it is. But I'll still beat his ass in trading. Humbly, quietly, and politely, it's going to happen. You'll, you'll know my entry, and you'll know my stop. You know where the market's going to go. But I just want to show you there's a contrast from what people say about what it is you're learning and who I am and what the reality is. The reality is that I could be the biggest jerk and most hated person on the internet, but I don't want that. I like staying right in the middle, and I, I, I go back and forth where I'll go just a little bit to the hero side when it starts to get sickeningly, you know, sugary sweet, then I'll do something to cause people to be upset with me.

And I learned this from a magician, Paul Harris. Guy invented a lot of, lot of tricks with cards and, and such. And a lot of the professional magicians, you know, big guys, a lot of, lot of Korean magicians, which are phenomenal magicians, by the way, a lot of their work are his craft. Like he created those things, those illusions, but they, they never get the credit for it. And to look at the guy, he looks like he slept in his clothes for two weeks, never brushed his hair, probably homeless next to, you know, next to being homeless. And the logic he shared in one of his interviews with, when they were doing, I think it was for Genie magazine, he says, uh, you know, what do you find most interesting as a performer when you're doing shows? He goes, "Well, I'm not really impressed by the audience's reactions when I do something that I know is astonishing. If I do a magic trick every day in front of you and, uh, call a very specific price run every single day, it gets boring after a while. You know what it means to be bored by it now. You're not impressed anymore. It used to be like, 'Wow, look at that. He did it again. I wonder how many times you could do it again.' But the people doing it around for a long time, you're not impressed by that. That's exactly how you should be. But you see new people coming to our community all the time and they watch me call a specific level, call a specific order block, specific fair value gap. It's going to go down here. It's going to get this stops and it's going to go here. And then it happens in your charts and in mine. Then you look back on the week and say, 'Wow, he saw all this stuff before it happened.'" And it seems like magic to them. And that's why when I was a young man, I was infatuated with magic. David Copperfield to me was a hero. Like this guy was able to bend time and space and do crazy [ __ ]. I actually believed, I actually believed that he passed through the Great Wall of China. That was the, the, the moment of astonishment where I, that that veil of reality was disrupted there. Even knowing that that's a magic trick. I was like, how did, how do you do that? My young mind was fascinated with that. So I tap into that in my audience.

See, a ninja had to be an actor, had to be a magician, a warrior, a strategist, and I use and I employ those things. I did not read the book of, uh, power. Okay? A lot of people say, "Oh yeah, he's, he's just doing this and doing this, do this." [ __ ] That book is nonsense. And it's written by a guy says he can get you to get anybody to be seduced by him. The [ __ ] out of here. You see this guy? He looks like a [ __ ] overcooked potato. He's not attractive at all. And I'm not saying I am. I'm just saying that just know that I don't use this [ __ ] that that guy writes about. But Sun Tzu. Yep. And the lore of the ninja. That's what I use in my presentation. I am a kabuki actor in front of you. You see me as this samurai, this unbeatable samurai that wields this sword and everybody's head just falls the [ __ ] off. But I wasn't that in the beginning. I was the guy that was afraid to do anything. Certainly never would we talk this passionately or authoritatively. But I hold authority. I hold authority. I can tell you what everybody else is going to be able to tell you. And I can do it consistently. I can tell you why before all the other stuff out there that's available to you. It doesn't do that. It does not do that. And it doesn't matter how much it resembles something after it happens because unless you saw it beforehand and put a trade on and took it home, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And these people that are wrestling with what you are learning, and some of you are doing exceptionally well now. Some of you are doing so good, but you see things that I'm doing or other traders that are learning the same thing you're learning, and you feel like you're not doing good enough because, man, I, I just need to get a six-figure payout. I just need to get another big supercar so I can be part of the click. No, you don't. I promise you, I am the richest [ __ ] out here. I am the richest one. I am the most successful one. I am the one that will beat anybody else's ass in trading, period. Non-stop every single [ __ ] day. I am telling you all right now, you can do it. Come out here right now. And I'm not out here buying cars and buying this and showing off what I got and how much I can spend. So why should you, why should you feel that way? I'm it. I'm the high seat right now. I'm the highest stack in the [ __ ] industry, and there ain't nobody close to me, and I don't do those things. You don't need to do it either. So why put your, why put pressure on yourself like that? Why do you feel like you have to purchase something to appear, to appear that you're profitable or well beyond the level of profitability that you may be in reality, but you want to present it like you're really, really profitable. Let me buy a used Lamborghini and put a wrap on it. How about you don't even bring up what you drive and keep it about what you love to do as a trader? Because somebody that's got money like myself, that's more interesting because anybody can lease a car, anybody can sell a course, anybody can do affiliate programs and get lots of money doing that. That is not translated to they're very, very good at trading. And there's a lot of people out there that exist in that realm. And they allow people to believe that they're greater than they really are. And very few people that are actually proven they can. And the ones that are doing that deserve to be recognized. Even if you don't like their character, look at Patrick.

A lot of you don't understand that presentation is a mode of engagement. As an influencer, you have to have a hook. You're either going to be a heel, that means you're out there to piss people off just for the sake of being an [ __ ] and knowing that it's going to get people's attention, or you're going to be everybody's superhero. You're one or the other. And anybody in the middle doesn't have a following worth [ __ ]. Nobody talks about them, and they're just, they're there. You've seen them once or twice before. People talk about them. They have students, but they just, just blend in. They don't really stand out. But only the heroes and the heels are the ones that do well in social media. And I knew this when my time on Internet Relay Chat, IRC back then. I was learning how people engaged other people. That's what made me successful as someone that, I mean, think about it, until recently in the last few years. You never saw a live account for me. You never saw it. It was always in a paper trading account. Whether it was me teaching in Forex or when I transitioned away from Forex to back to where I started as a trader in 1992 as a commodity trader. How can anyone hold the attention of millions of people coming out and being publicly honest and saying, "I'm going to teach you in a medium of a paper trading account." Right away, that sets the tone for who's really going to try to learn here and who can't wait to look at that and take shots at it. I told my, I told my children and my wife, I said, "Watch the response I get with this." Because number one, I'm going to be completely 100% legally compliant by saying, "I'm teaching in this demo account. That way, I'm not inspiring you to take real trades. It's not a signal. I'm not acting as a certified trade advisor. I would never do the test to do that because you basically, you have to divulge what it is that you do." I had no interest in doing that. The [ __ ] I want to teach fair value gaps and order blocks to, to them for [ __ ] that keep it to myself. So, I'm going to stand out here and put on a clown face for the people that want to see a clown. And I'll wear a kabuki mask that see a samurai warrior for the people that look past all that stuff and say, "Yeah, he was teaching with a demo account." But he called it to the tick in currencies and in futures. And I let you wrestle that. I let my audience stay divided that way, and I fan both sides all the time. When the, when the level was getting low on the hero side, pump it up. When I'm not getting enough traction, not enough people talking bad about me, do something to cause them to talk about it. I told you I was going to do it this week. I got to do something wrong. Got to give them something. It worked. They're back to saying, "Oh, this stuff's rebranded." Blah, blah, blah. And that talking gets people reacting. And that one person is going to come in contact with 50 more people. And those 50 people are going to come in contact with 50 more people. And what happens? You grow and never have to pay for advertising. I act like a pimp and I hire these Sarah and Sally's, and I put them on the corner, and they earn for me for free. Every time they talk [ __ ] about me, they're drawing attention to me, and they're doing it for free. At their job, they're talking about me at home. When they wake up in the middle of the night, they come and check on social media. Let me see what I can see, I can talk about. This is how you manage an audience. This is how you do it. And people get wrapped up in it, and they think you're the piece of [ __ ]. You're so arrogant, or you're this. You're a braggart. You don't have a track record. I'm telling you my track record every [ __ ] day. And there ain't a [ __ ] out there walking that's this accurate. Cuz if they were, they'd already been here. They would already showed the [ __ ] up. And they ain't showing up, are they? They're not. But you don't see that. You don't recognize that because you're not trying to learn. You're not trying to see the value in what I'm doing. Because I could be making millions and [ __ ] millions every week just doing what I'm doing right now. I don't need money, folks. Don't need it. And just like you think you need the materialistic aspects, sure, if you're not equipped as a trader that can be consistently profitable and know exactly what you're doing, when not to do it, then it makes sense to have all that materialism around you because it's like, wow, you know, that's, that's fanfare. That seems like something new under the sun for someone that has lack, that doesn't have money, doesn't have luxury items around them. So, they live vicariously through the character that you're presenting online. And some people go to the extreme and say, "This person deserves to have something happen to them in their real life." And some people shouldn't be [ __ ] around with like that because the people that do that kind of stuff get got, and you never really hear about it sometimes, but they know it happened because you get wrapped up just like the people that would run in the ring when wrestling matches would go on. These people are working out a script. They're performing for you. You're entertainment. But some people are unhinged. They may go beyond the, the realm of reasonable and think this person needs to have something bad that happen to them because they didn't do this or they did this. All of you are adults or should be responsible adults. And because I know that there's a large degree of you that are not responsible, you're not in, in a position where you own your own actions. You take actions directly or indirectly from other people's opinions and mine included, and I know I have a very strong influence. That's why I kind of like stopped going into my own students' live streams and chatting because I would point out certain things because some of them weren't recognizing it, and I thought to myself, you know, this could be misconstrued as me trying to make them look bad, and it's not what I was doing. I was just trying to make them aware of something in the chart that they're not seeing. And I, I started thinking about, I said, "You know what? I don't want to bring them heat. I don't want them to feel like I'm correcting them." Then it's like it messes them up. And some of them get weirded out just by me being there. And you see them, they, they, they start blushing. They start smirking. They're like, "I can't believe ICT's in my chat right now. This is [ __ ] crazy." Z blah blah blah, like I'm something sp, like I'm [ __ ] Gandhi. I'm not Gandhi. I, I don't have, I don't have that. I don't have that picture of myself where I'm up there. I want, the problem is is I want to be just like all you, can go into a chat and just be part of the audience. But when I show up, something new on their son's there. The person that's doing the live stream, they fall to the back seat. Nobody gives a [ __ ] about what they're talking about or what they're doing, and they're asking me questions, and that's rude. And I, I, I miss that part of being online. Like I, I don't have that same ability just, just to go in and listen to somebody and just be a member of the audience and not get all the people in there talking about me, whether good or bad. And these people that do that, they have heroes or they see me as the villain. In between those two bookmarks, these bookends, hero and lovers to hate. You're supposed to be in the middle. Recognize that what I've taught you and what I've authored, I can do very well with it. That doesn't mean that that's where you should be at any given time during your development. None of you are going to be able to trade better than me ever. That's never going to happen because I'm going to hold back things that make me absolutely beyond touchable. Like absolutely, it's never going to be, it's never going to happen. Okay? I'm never going to, it's never going to happen. Let's just say it that way. But here's how you will be better than me because some of you can be better than me. How, how can, how can I be better than ICT? How can I be better than this guy? Number one, don't make mistakes I did. I put off my success by rushing it, and that just went right over your [ __ ] head. I pushed my success further away from my reach by demanding it happen sooner. And any incremental progress I had, I made it a big spectacle online, and I needed other people to validate me. If you go into your development and you avoid those things for, for the men, 90% of your [ __ ] problem is solved right away because you're demanding something that you haven't earned yet. And you're demanding other people to tell you that you're the man, you're the GOAT, you're the greatest of all times when you can't even do it consistently to the next day. And I needed that inspiration when I was on the internet initially. I mean, I was on America Online when, when internet became internet. I was there. None of you in a 20-year-old, you know, maybe in a 30-year-old can fully appreciate the wild wild west of what we were all able to do back then. We felt like, you know, this is crazy. This is like the Jetsons now. And now as a 50-year-old later this year, I'm looking at the technology we have today. And it's, it's mind-numbing that we have information at our fingertips just like that. And we can push a button and make money or lose money. You don't have to fly out to Las Vegas or Atlantic City to gamble. You can do it right, right on your phone. And now you can gamble with a, well, a demo account that you pay for with extra rules on it than real trading provides. Do you see how, you see how easy people can be manipulated? Like they, they, they're convincing you that it's a good idea to have all your hopes on making big payouts through proper, when all the rules are stacking against you endlessly, they keep creating more rules, more rules, can't do this, can't do that. You can't make more money. Why the [ __ ] are we trading? Why did you start trading? Cuz you want to make money. Why have they allowed you to view not making more money as advantageous? You can't make more money than this, or you're not being consistent. How about I can make crazy [ __ ] returns every single day, and that is the normal thing, and the prop firm makes allowance for that. Why? The answer is simple. They can't afford to have big winners. Big winners would bankrupt them or prove they won't pay out, and that's bad for business. But they sell the idea that gambling, you might get it. That's just like a lottery. You might be the winner of that $1 billion payout when you should just say, you know what, I am broke. I'm strapped. I don't have that much money, but I have a new opportunity under the sun right in front of me. And I could maybe, maybe employ one account. Not [ __ ] 20. Not 10, not 15, not as many as you can. How much can I afford to charge up on my [ __ ] credit card right now? Just one. Just one, and take the little bit of money that you can make from that one account. Pull it out as you make it. Save up that way to put your money into a real brokerage account that you're going to give a [ __ ] about. Because let's be honest, folks, there's no person out there that would ever trade like they see their trades being done in prop when they have 20 accounts. If you had your own money to handle the leverage that you're pushing around, that's unbelievable. You would never trade that way with your own money because you see it as it's a cheap reset, and you're trading, you're trading as the lottery that works for a few people. A few. And I can say that confidently because you only seen a few people do it. But that's not what you should do. You should just try to get one. Take one account and prove that you be consistent with following a model that you can wrestle your impulses. You have a limited exposure to what it's going to cost you if you do it wrong. In that case, in that instance, there is advantageous characteristics to trading these pseudo prop firms. They're not prop. They're monetized demo accounts. But you can learn all about how you see risk that goes beyond just trading with paper or demo. Because if you do it wrong there, you have to pay to reset that. Whereas you were trading a paper print. Just click a button, and you can reset it to whatever you want to say. But having a procedure of how you're going to grow and develop is important because it's easy to get caught up in the winds of social media. Who's hot? Who's not? Who's everybody flaming right now? And who is everybody sucking up to right now? Who's got the hot hand? Who's doing really, really well? Who's dog [ __ ] right now? Who can't trade worth a [ __ ] right now? I don't keep up with...

that stuff. I only see that kind of stuff when people are at me and they drag somebody else's name in and these other people ain't doing what I'm doing. Sorry.

So, when when you guys make all these lists and [ __ ] let me allow my arrogance to pop out just for one time because it hasn't been out one time today until right now. When you want to thank me, thank me. Don't Don't add me to a list of other people that are my [ __ ] students, okay? because that irritates the [ __ ] out of me. That irritates the [ __ ] [ __ ] out of me because they are parroting what I've said. Period.

Now, let's take it back to me. When you want to thank me, don't give God the praise. Now, how's that for humility? Because that's how it should be done. Don't add me to a list of other people that's learning just like you are from me. That's why I never like your posts. I never ever add a little heart to that kind of stuff because I see that as glad-handing. And I am not out here trying to promote you to be a character, a hero. Don't have hero worship. Don't look at me as a hero. Don't worship me. Don't do any of that kind of stuff. Learn from me. Take notes. Listen to what I'm telling you that you should focus on and ignore the things I tell you don't worry about these things, but a lot of you do it the opposite.

Social media is a wonderful tool and you can get rich with it. You can get really, really rich real fast just like that. Millions of dollars can fall on your hands. If you develop a skill set of knowing how to manage yourself, find setups, you have something new under the sun. You never could do that before. Until today, you can. And when that happens, you're given a choice. You have an opportunity right then and there. I have a talent. I have a skill that I have never had before. And I know there's lots of people out there that want to have what I have right now. And you want to bottle it. You want to slap a sticker on it and hide those three letters ICT.

For some of you, I love it. I love how they go every way they can to avoid ever mentioning me. Like Voldemort, you can't say his name. It's funny. It's great. As soon as you hear him talking, oh [ __ ] that's ICT. That's it. That's that's that's his stuff. My vocabulary, not the people that I supposedly rebranded. It's funny, isn't it? If it's been rebranded, why the hell they keep using my terms? Why not just say, "Here's what it really is." Because what it is is what it is, and I mean it. But you're going to have a choice. You're going to have a choice. Are you going to be a heal or you going to be a hero? because you're going to start one way or the other. And so many people want to start out there online persona trying to be something that they're not wanting to be viewed as a hero but fastly become a heal and it shoots them in the foot. They do it to themselves. They're not equipped.

Lots of people out there have tried to step to me and say, "I'm going to do this and I'm going to do that. I'm going to do that." And they don't do [ __ ] They don't do [ __ ] because they don't know themselves.

Now, take it back to Patrick Wheelen. I saw him a couple years ago. He used to troll me in other people's comment section. And I could care less about him back then. It was just like, "Oh, you're just one of the other people." And there was a meme going around where he's screaming because, you know, it looks like he's losing on the trade or whatnot. I I don't even know. I just love his outburst because to me it's funny as [ __ ] Like you all like using that meme where I'm talking and then I start yelling and ranting. Those things are scheduled. I put them out there. I am not a bipolar person. Some people still believe that that part of my caricature is who I really am. I'm not bipolar, folks. I choose my words very specifically and they're all timed. This is where I want to pace the the the speech. It's an eb and flow. I bring you up high and I gradually bring you back down. And then when you start feeling like, okay, well, I need him to really juice me up. I toss it in there. That allows you to listen because you think there's going to be something more profound because the element of energy just increased. It's audience management, folks. It's all it is. I learned that from reading. That's it. Reading, not trade-related books. How to speak. I would read the the thesaurus just so I can get other words because when I was in school, they didn't teach you how to speak eloquently or be very articulate. And I was always fascinated with people that could speak well. I looked to people. My best mentors are people that teach how to speak well, but they don't have a skill beyond teaching how to speak well. They're not known for anything except for teaching how to speak well. give them material that they can study. They could stand up on a stage and talk like they know everything about it because they teach by speaking well.

What makes me different to everybody else? I care about your success. How do I How do I know that I can believe I see Jesus meant what he just said? Because I don't sell you anything. I give you my time, my expensive [ __ ] time. I give it to you and I entice you to go in and prove me wrong because I know that challenge is going to be met by most men. If you have a penis swinging between your legs, you're going to hear what I say and say, "I'm going to I'm going to show this guy he's wrong." I'm counting on you having that. And most of my students have come by that very challenge in the last two years because they've been seeing things that nobody else is producing. Which camp is all the big names coming out of? Ours. Our community. The one that everybody says is a cult. And damn it, we are a cult of winners. You know what the the membership badge is to be a part of this this cult? not giving a [ __ ] what anybody else thinks because the market's going to give to us. It's going to yield to us. They cannot change it. They can't hide it. They cannot prevent you. They can't hold you back. They cannot withstand you. They will not prevent you from getting what you want. 81 [ __ ] ways for me to rob this [ __ ] bank anytime I [ __ ] want. Change the passcode, [ __ ] I got the master passcode. I can go around everything you [ __ ] people want to do. Do it. Change it up. Spin that wheel. Make the high and low real fast both directions. Okay? You can't do that all day. In 60 [ __ ] minutes, I'm going to be in there with a whole new plan. You can't stop me. Which means you can't stop them. Who's them? All of you listening. All of you that have had your eyes opened and your mind broadened to boundaries that are way beyond what you first started thinking about as a trader.

If I could just take this indicator and I could just get consistent with taking 10 points. If I could just get 10 pips, you know, I could I could get this much money out of the month and I wouldn't be struggling to get my car payment paid and my car insurance because I drove around like an [ __ ] and you know, car insurance is too high now been having too many accidents because I'm not responsible. I'm reckless. That's why I teach the way I teach because if you're getting car accidents all the time or having failed relationships, you're going to [ __ ] suck as a trader because you don't manage risk well. Just like you're going to point to, "Yeah, she left me because he's a piece of shit." She left you because you're a piece of [ __ ] You didn't recognize it. There was warning signs before she left. Vice versa, ladies, you're not exempt. Guy said, "You're not good enough." Cut his losses and found somebody else and got married. He's a piece of [ __ ] No, you were a piece of [ __ ] You just didn't recognize it.

When I was a young man, I was a piece of [ __ ] I was a womanizer. I was weak. I did those things because I hated how I existed in my own skin. I am comfortable in my own skin. Now, I acknowledge my weaknesses. I acknowledge where my shortcomings are. I know my limitations. And as a trader, you need to know those things. See, it's it's not it's taboo to mention if you're successful as a trader, if you're successful and consistent and profitable, it's taboo to mention weaknesses. It's it sounds like an oxymoron. How could you have a weakness? How could you have a weakness if you are proficient, consistent, and profitable, and you know what you're doing, and you manage risk well? How could you possibly even refer to a term in your own character description as a weakness? How could that possibly be? Everyone, every single person that's ever reached a height of proficiency, extraordinary success, a measure cut above everyone else. All of those individuals know exactly what their weaknesses are. procrastination, laziness, performance anxiety, fear of not being able to do as well as they hoped. They're weaknesses. You know what they are? You know what they are? Things that are not real. You're afraid of a loss that you haven't incurred yet. You're afraid of the losing trade that you did not suffer yet because you took one losing trade. Because you took three losing trades, you're afraid of that next losing trade. It didn't happen yet. You're giving energy to something that's not there. You have to allow for something new under the sun. The change in your recorded trade history. Yeah, you may have taken a loss, maybe taking two losses, maybe three trades in losing positions. Maybe maybe you did that. Maybe it was reckless on your part. Maybe it wasn't. Maybe it was just a normal procedure that you followed. You trust the logic and it didn't pan out because you did it wrong. you just didn't quite see everything there, but you trusted enough to push the button. Doesn't mean that the model or the methodology is flawed or that you suck as a trader. It means that that you just did it wrong at that time. That transaction, that engagement with price, you just simply did it wrong. You're not inflating it to be something well causes the whole thing needs to be taken back to the drawing board, scrap everything. But that's exactly what you're doing. You're increasing the level of importance on the outcome of the next trade.

When I teach you not to do that, what is it that you teach us, ICT? What is it that you're trying to do? Because I feel like that's what you're doing. You're hiding things from us. You know something, you're hiding it from us. You know, I'm teaching you. I'm teaching you. All the major questions that's ever been asked of me, I've already answered and addressed. And now I'm out here singing and dancing in the rain in front of all of you. And you're asking questions that have already been answered, but you haven't done the work to get the answer for yourself. See, that's the difference. People that come to me and they understand that what I wield, what I hold in my hands is the market. It's inescapable. I don't give a [ __ ] who you are, where you came from, what you did before, you all that [ __ ] It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. All that stuff falls to the wayside. When you sit down with me and I'm explaining price to you, everybody has to stop and say, "Okay, what he's describing is absolutely the truth because it's happening right now in my chart. We all have real-time data. We all have it. And I'm using a market that everybody has the same price for and it's following my logic. It's doing what I'm telling it it's going to do. Why should you fear what has not happened yet versus being encouraged by seeing what you've been witnessing day after day after day and how frequently it happens. That's how you should be thinking. Find your own evidence. Don't look to the heroes that's in our community. They're rising up by their own efforts, study, the time they put into it. They showed up every day. Even when they felt like it wasn't working out for them, they like, "I just got to go one more time. Maybe he'll teach me something that's going to give me what I need to get over the hump."

Why do I spoon-feed and drip the content? Why do I do that? It's not because I'm being monetized here. Because look at most of my longest presentations are always on mediums that's not monetized by me. I'm not making any money off of my long-winded best education material. I do that so that way I'm disarming you. You have no weapon against me when I'm doing this. You can't argue and say I'm doing this to make money. I'm not. I'm giving the listeners the ability to make money off of it. You're all welcome to take my spaces and upload them on YouTube. You're welcome to do that. Monetize them. I don't give a [ __ ] Get grocery money. I don't care. It's not I don't care. What I care about is you understanding and not being distracted by the things that people try to say that I'm doing that I'm leading people astray. I'm giving you far more than everybody that wants to use my name for marketing. Are you ICT trader and you want to finally become profitable? Isn't that [ __ ] hilarious? Like I'm every day profitable. Every day in front of you every day. Calling it now live. Hello. Something new under the sun for you is what? Being consistently profitable. You know what happens before you get there? You become comfortable with not being perfect. And when you aim for perfection, but being realistic, knowing that I'm not going to hit it yet, but I'm working towards that that mo that measure of of a goal. If you're always aiming for perfection, but allowing allowing progress to get you closer to it day by day, that's the proper mindset. You're not defeated when you fall short on it. But when you look back and see the progression is incrementally going higher, your experience is growing. What is that? Something new under the sun. You didn't have that experience before. You see people that take that scripture out of the Bible and they apply it and misappropriate to things. It's just a straw man argument. Look at the technology we have today. The planes, the cars, that's certainly something new under the sun. Solomon didn't have those things when he talked about that. So, there's definitely new things under the sun. But what that passage really refers to is people are creatures of habit. We're like dogs. When a dog vomits, it'll walk away and despise and look at and say, "Gh, that was in my stomach." You can see it on their face. They're like, "Man, I'm glad that thing's out of my stomach. It was hurting me." And two, three minutes later, what do they do? They go back and eat it. they return back to its vomit. Bible talks about that. And that's exactly what you're doing as a developing trader when you listen to people that cannot do it better. They don't have another solution that's better. They're not consistently able to do what I'm showing you. If I'm going to be a teacher, okay, if I'm going to learn from somebody, I'm going to know that that person knows what they're talking about, is proficient with it, and has proven it, and they have no problem walking it right now. Ask them, do it right now. And those that can will.

So, I crushed that whole argument. know people that can trade trade and others that can't teach ICT concepts. Well, I'll admit that that is true. There's a lot of people that teach my stuff that they cannot trade because it's hot. It's a it's a hot button right now. Everybody loves it. It works because it's the market. But it's applied to me and even the people that are doing well using what I taught when I'm doing it in front of them. I have a greater impact adversely if I fail in front of you. I'd done this before. I think it was a year and a half ago. I was on a live stream and I trolled. I said, "I'm going to get a trade in here. I'm going to put a trade in here." Oh, look at that up. Sometimes it happens, guys. You don't understand dry humor. Sometimes it's probably because I'm not good at it. But I'm telling you, look at what you're able to see me do. how often it's right, how often it goes to where I say it's going to go and then your uh your ideal scenario would be not look at how I executed on it. That's just one way of dozens that you could have entered the trade and did the same thing or better. I love going and and sharing an example where I executed on the ideas that I've shared in terms of the bias, the narrative, the liquidity pool and the efficiency, the price is going to go to the draw and then I engage price based on whatever time I'm sitting in front of the charts. If I pull up my phone and say, "Oh, it's doing that. Let me let me take that right." If I'm in a moment with my wife and the conversation drops down slow, I'll ask her, "Do you have half a second real quick? Do you mind if I do something real quick? I want to share something with them." And then sometimes I've missed the ideal entry point because I was not watching the chart at the time. But I can get in there 81 different ways. Okay. But I love watching when I share that. A student will come behind and say I got a better field than my mentor. I don't look at that and say, "Go [ __ ] yourself, pal. Who do you think you are?" I love that. I love that. That's moxy. And it's encouraging because that's exactly how I felt when I figured out how buying below the opening price on the day it was going to create a large range up day. I felt like I did something better than my mentor Larry Williams. I didn't look at Larry Williams and piss in his cornflakes and say he sucks as a trader. It just made me feel like wow that's real progress because I did something that my teacher didn't do today. Not that Larry Woods couldn't do that or that I can't do that same entry. Is this that the way it unfolded for you at that moment? You were at the right time when opportunity presented itself. And so many times, so many times people on social media are quick to just want to measure up all the time. Measure up, measure up. Meas Look at the measurement here. No one's coming here. No one's coming here. So by measuring stick principle alone, then you're in the right [ __ ] place. You're learning from somebody that ain't trying to take anything from you. That's building you up on a day that I could be out here watching stupid sports. I could be eating cheeseburgers and [ __ ] hot dogs and eating potato chips like everybody else in America. But I'm spending my time building you up, encouraging you, reminding you because it's easy to lose sight because if you you spend any time on social media, it's toxic. And sometimes I just need to take a break away from it because it's like these people are [ __ ] willfully stupid. Like you choose to be stupid. Like it's literally being laid in front of you and you're arguing about it still. It's not it's not really there. It's this that's that that's that. What what like that that's that that's peak denial. And I love the people that used to be like that and they've switched perspectives. I I almost said switch teams, but I I teach against that team mentality. I'm not saying be team ICT. I'm saying be team you incorporated. take ICT out of it. All I am is the face, the person that to listen to the voice of reason right now to keep you on the right track. That's it. Once you get to the point where you don't need to learn anything else from me, you unplug from me. You don't watch my stuff. You don't follow me on social media. You don't care about what I'm looking at, what I think, because that's going to mess it up. That's what happens when I show up in people's live streams. They become even if they even if they don't like me or present an attitude that they they are opposed to me. Suddenly they don't want to take a trade that day. Suddenly they like, well, you know, I don't like the situation here today. It looks a little this that and the thing. I'm going to wait. And they close. I I've been in there and people have immediately closed the [ __ ] stream. Like I'm going to go in there and troll them. Like I don't I don't do those things. Like I don't do that stuff. When I go into a live stream and I'm a member of the audience, I want to be a member of the audience. I'm not there to be disruption. But I want you as a student to learn not to need me. That's how I've succeeded as a teacher. If I keep you tethered to me, have I taught you anything more than codependence? No. That's why I don't s That's why I don't do a subscription-based mentorship. I don't do that. Even when I was doing it, you paid to get 12 months with me and after that it's it could have kept these people on lifetime memberships and they would have been paying it. I could have increased it every every year. $100 more, $100 more, $100 more. They would have been gladly paying it. Some of them just for the simple fact that they were part of the the community and they weren't even trying to learn. I had lots of people in 2016 that did that very thing. They just wanted to be part of it. Oh, this is worth the admission price. I just want to be able to watch what was going on. How do I know that? Because they never learned how to trade ever. They never did anything with it. Is that what you're here for? I don't mean that rhetorically. I mean that sincerely. Are you here just to spectate, not learn how to speculate? Are you here just for the the show of it all? Because that's what I listen to Patrick L for because it's he's funny. Like he he's a very natural funny kind of guy. It it's not always, you know, the type of humor that's palatable. Sometimes it's a little, you know, obscene. I'm not talking about the cuss words. because I I can use with I can present presentations with those words, too. And I repent every time I'm done doing it, but the you sexual things and things like that, I I I don't think that they're necessarily useful. But his change in his character where he'll he'll be doselo for a second and start screaming and dancing around and stomping around. I I watch that thing every day now where he's flipping out and doing push-ups and stuff. That's some funny [ __ ] right there. Like that's method acting. That's that's like that's funny. I mean, I don't care where you come from. That's funny stuff to me. And the fact that he's willing to do it in front of the world is is to me it's is astonishing cuz it's nuts. Like it's literally nuts. But guess what? That's what that means. He's got a character. That's his Ric Flair. You know when Ric Flair, he's the man. To be a man, you got to beat the man. And then when they beat him, they punch him really hard in in a ring. He takes three steps and then falls right on his face. He's clowning. He's allowing the audience to feel like, "Yeah, you son of a [ __ ] I hope that hurts." And he didn't feel anything. He's laughing to the bank because he's performing his role for you, holding your attention so that way the person that he's supposedly wrestling looks good. Patrick has a character. Everybody that's successful on social media has a character. People that are not doing well in in social media are not implementing a character. That's the secret. You have to be consistent. Once you adopt a character or a caricature, it doesn't have to be necessarily what you really are in real life. I'm not a braggard in real life, but I play that stone cold in your face brash because I know

It pisses people off. It works. It gets people talking.

But my best work isn't the rant that I'm cussing and ranting and raing. That's just to break up the monotony of the discussion, cuz sometimes I'll talk and it's like I'm I'm falling asleep. I'm falling asleep. My wife said it also. Like your voice is very soothing. I love when you're talking to me because when I'm tired, it relaxes me and I fall asleep easy. I don't get it. I don't like my voice, but I know it works. And when I'm done doing this, I'm going to do sleep aid uh audio books. I'm not, but I'm just telling you funny. I could make money doing that. Bedtime stories by ICT.

But there is something new under the sun every day. There are so many opportunities for you to find what you don't realize or recognize as your future successful self. If you're hanging out people on social media and allowing them to be toxic and constantly dumping on other people, or if they're constantly dumping on you or challenging you, or you're inviting other people to critique your endeavor in wanting to learn how to do this, why would you allow someone that could potentially give you adverse responses? Something that's not going to be in agreement with what you went into this learning hoping to do better in in finances. Why would you allow that opportunity for people that may not agree with you and you allow them the opportunity? That means you care enough about their opinion. Otherwise, you wouldn't have invited them in the conversation for them to be able to say something that would be detrimental to your desire to be tenacious. You got to be like that pitbull holding on to a pork chop. You're not letting go.

No matter how many people talk bad about me or what they say about me or what they say this or that, it doesn't matter because you have done enough work to see that this stuff works. Because when you're successful and you're making millions of dollars, you're not going to be looking at the shrine of ICT, okay, in your house lighting [ __ ] candles and paying homage to me. You're not. You're not even going to be thinking about me. And that's exactly what I want from you. I want you to run, spread your [ __ ] wings, and fly. Don't look back. No bird gets kicked out of the nest and says, "All right, I'm doing really well flying. Let's go back home and check out mom and dad." They [ __ ] they're they're not doing that. They're not doing that. And that's exactly what I want from all of you.

While you're in the nest, sure, you got to be coddled a little bit. You got to be encouraged. One day, you're going to be out there flying just like the rest of them. But you're not there yet. But some of you want to run out of the the nest and think you're ready to fly when you're not. The only thing you're good at and ready to do is bounce one time and that's it. You won't survive it. So I hold you in the nest long enough for you to discover your weaknesses, because that's the secret. That's the secret that you don't realize. The things that you view underneath your skin that you won't want to talk about to anybody else, the things that you're afraid of, the real things that you're afraid of, failure. You're afraid of it. And as long as you're afraid of failure, you're never going to find success because you made failure so formidable that it has no other room on the stage to allow success to arrive. And that'll preach right there. You're fearful of what if? Fill in the blank after that. Anything negative. What if I don't do as well as my girlfriend hoped I would?

Let me tell you something. If you made the mistake of letting your successful trades be seen in the eyes and ear of whoever you're with in a relationship, whether it's a long-term relationship, married, or just recently got together. If you made the mistake of doing that and any progress isn't championed by them, that right there is a red [ __ ] flag. That is a red flag right there. I'm not saying divorce. I'm not saying do that. I'm just saying don't talk about it no more. Because if they love you and they really want to see you succeed, they're your friend, they're your lover, they're your partner, they're your significant. How did you do that? Where did you learn that? That's somebody that gives a [ __ ] That's someone that cares. You know what? I've already said it. I'm not going to reload it again, but I only had one person, and I'm not married to her. I only had one person that ever told me those things. So, the reasons that I tell you not to talk about to your loved ones, your family, and your friends and co-workers, is because they're not going to see it as a form of an opportunity to encourage you because they're doing the same [ __ ] working for their money and doing things that they don't really want to be doing in conditions they don't want to be under. They believe there's nothing new under the sun. Those people believe there's nothing new under the sun. But the people that succeed not just in trading, everything, they know there's something new under the sun. Look at Elon Musk. This crazy [ __ ] He has rockets that fly and land like you're watching a video in reverse. That to me is fascinating. The little boy in me is fascinated by that. That's wild. That's something new. 200 [ __ ] years ago, we didn't see anything like that. So no, that that that scripture doesn't in encompass everything. There's nothing new under the sun. Meaning that people are creatures of habit and they're going to do things that they should not do and they know they shouldn't do it, but they still do it anyway. That's living a a loser's loop. Doing the same things, expecting a different result. That's Einstein's definition of insanity.

Here's here's a testimony of someone that's insane. Someone that keeps going back to watching and listening to me talk about trading and presenting things and never applying the concepts and studying material. They just keep coming back and listening, expecting a different result. me talking about it, me showing you examples, even if I gave you the entries and the stops and the targets right as it was going to happen and I did that every single day, it doesn't make you any better of a student or trader because as soon as I pulled the plug on that, I'm an [ __ ] You're a piece of [ __ ] You don't care about us. You're being selfish. I had this in the past. These are all things that were said to me when I stopped doing it on internet relay chat. 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005. And I said, "Fuck all of you." And I stopped internet rel. I was calling the S&P in a room with a thousand people. And I was calling the stop. I was calling the targets. I was calling wherever I moved my stop. I was calling all that stuff. And when I finally said, "I'm done. I don't want to do this anymore. You're an [ __ ] You're a piece of [ __ ] You're selfish." Same things that people said about me here in recent years. But I don't live on the hopes and acceptance of other people. I don't give a [ __ ] about whether you like me or not. I don't care. I don't care. You're not going to change where I sleep. You're not going to change what I put on every day. You're not going to change the way I live my life. You're not going to give anything that's going to cause me grief. You cannot. None of you people have any influence over me. None.

But you know what? I respect the measure of influence I have over you. I don't take advantage of you. And I could if I was a piece of [ __ ] I could be monetizing everything I do and putting price tags on it that none of you none of you would have a problem with [ __ ] paying because you want to be a part of it. That's how you know what I'm telling you is the truth and you can trust it because I'm not twisting your arm to give me a credit card. I'm I'm investing in you. I'm placing this information and experience into your hands with no upsell later on. You see all these guys, they do it all the time. They got uh Dean Gracio and uh what's the other guy? Kind of reminds me of Lurch from the uh Adams family. What's this guy? What's his name? Uh Tony Robbins. Tony Robbins. Um they do these things every year now. They're getting ready to do it I think this coming week where it's free for three days. They talk for a couple hours and it's just basically three days of commercial to buy into some [ __ ] later on. That's it. What What are they doing? They're talking to you. They're inspiring you. Sure. They got into real estate. Tony Tony Robbins got into motivational speaking. Used to be a janitor. He was an oddity in the beginning. He was big guy. Kind of looked like lurch. Real kind of awkward. That was to me his gimmick. Like look at this guy. And that's what held my attention. I've never heard anything from Tony Robbins said, "Wow, [ __ ] man. I've been doing it all wrong. He's right. He really is right. I need to walk out there on some burning [ __ ] coals right now." Yeah. Not realizing that that's one of the oldest tricks in performance. You can walk across coals, but let's scoot your feet under the coals and walk across them. That won't happen when you walk on coals like that. As long as they have ash on them, when you walk across it, there's a small little moment of time where you'll feel warmth, but you ain't getting burnt. You stand still, you're burning. So that's that's that's like when you watch martial artists and they do a display where they take bricks and they stack them on top of each other and they have a small little pencil or dowel rod in between them. All you have to do is break the top brick and keep the momentum going. When that brick breaks in the middle, that focus impact on the one beneath it keeps going and it's a chain reaction that breaks all of them. As long as you keep the momentum going down, you have to be able to break that first one. Or a fraud way of breaking a brick. And these are all things I used to do. Used to go to expositions and I tell my friend Sean said, "Look, see how he's holding this brick? He's holding his brick up a quarter of an inch above the edge of the brick it's resting on." And they karate chop it, right? Well, if you raise it up above the uh the edge of the brick that you're using as a base, you're smacking and slapping the brick in that corner creates the brick. So, even a child can break a brick like that. But put the brick flat and try to chop it, it won't break. So, there you can be a fraud and look like a master, but you can't come out here and call yourself a master and not be able to do it in front of everybody.

See, I I I create these internal wrestling matches in all of you audience members. I chose that word specifically because not all of you are students. You all are members of the audience. And I forced the decision on you to decide whether or not, wow, this guy really has something that works. A lot of you now fall in love with ICT concepts because you seen two men come out there and make a huge amount of money in a very small small period of time. What's changed? You watch somebody else in the audience get off their ass and apply themselves and do it. I did not tell any of these individuals what to buy or sell. I didn't tell them when to get in, when to get out, what size contract to trade. Period. They did it all by themselves. They used the same material that's exposed to you right now, too. What's the difference? Something new under the sun for them. The desire to do it the right way. Stop doing it the wrong way. Stop believing it can't be for them. This world is going to tell you that it you're you're never going to be successful. It's too hard. Don't even try. Just be thankful that you have a good job and you can pay your bills, folks. That's getting real hard to do. That's getting real hard to do. And what kind of life is that? Is that passionate living? No. Do you wake up in the morning and say to yourself, "I'm awake now. Damn it. I got so many opportunities. Let's get out of this bed. Let's get it going. Let's go." Chances are, hell the [ __ ] no. I don't need to drink coffee. I don't drink coffee. That [ __ ] will cause brain damage. Okay? Dementia is a result of what you're doing. Don't believe me. I don't want you to believe me. Do your own research. But coffee leads to onset dementia later on. You drink a lot of it, you're increasing it. You don't need to stimulate yourself like that. If you're passionate about what it you're doing every day and you have a principally oriented life, why are you getting out of bed today? Well, for most of you, it's because you have to go to work. Why? Because you have to take care of yourself. You have a family to take care of. You have means to an end to get your ends met. Whatever that job is, whatever that means is, you have to get there on time to keep yourself gainfully employed. You may not be excited about going there or being there or even appreciate the fact that you're gainfully employed, but you should be. You should be thankful that you are right now making your ends meet even if it's by barely getting it done by your job because there's a lot of people that don't have that right now. So, you're actually doing a lot better than most people even if you're just working your job. How you think about what your efforts are going to be yielding to you is important. And guarding it from everyone else so they don't [ __ ] on it, discourage you. Nobody could ever discourage me ever. Ever. Ever. I'm never short on confidence. I'm never confused about the measure of opportunities I have in front of me. Every single day before I get out of bed, I could make an I could make a deal with several things out there that were passionate about trying to build an affiliate with me. I'm not trying to build affiliates with anybody else. They're trying to build affiliates with me. I'm the [ __ ] product. I am the enterprise. I am the legacy. They want to be a part of what I'm doing. I don't want to be a part of anything else. I like being stand alone. That's what makes me ICT individual. I follow nobody else. I walk in my own lane and I trailblaze. No one's walked where I walked. They're all walking behind me cuz I'm making those trails. That's how I live my life. I wanted to be that type of person in the world when I was younger because I wasn't significant in my own family's eyes. And that's what fueled me. And I know the level and measure of influence I have right now. It could be abused. And when I stand in front of the Lord, I'm going to be able to say, I did not take advantage of them. I encouraged all of you. I showed you how to do it. And then I actually told you what I was going to do. And then I did it. Proving the concept, proving the ability, proving the can do aspect of it. And I did it without having a price tag attached to it. And I love doing it. I love getting up and doing that because I know I needed it back then. I would have loved someone like me. You think I love myself right now? I would have loved myself back then. And that's how I perform. I perform in a way where it would have filled all of the needs that I had as a 20-year-old. I wanted a strong male persona. I wanted that. I wanted to look up to somebody like that because I seen a bunch of sickopants in my own family that were drug abusers, drug abusers, drinkers, alcoholics. Sure, they were functioning alcoholics. They had a home, but their marriage was a [ __ ] shamble. Their health was a shamble. They were constantly complaining about life. And here I am, I'm thinking to myself, [ __ ] man. Like, I'm making $2.50 50 cents an hour minimum wage, you know, scrubbing dishes at a deli trying to get, you know, anybody to give me some advice because I didn't want to be like that. I wanted beyond what I saw in my own family. I was like, I'm not accepting anything less. I was not destined to live that way. I wasn't destined to be like that. I knew it at a young age. I believed it. I believed it before I even knew how I was going to do it. What is that? That's mindset. You have to have a tenacious spirit about this because this is not easy to do. Trading is absolutely easy as [ __ ] but it is not [ __ ] easy to do. And it doesn't sound like it's logical when you hear it, especially if you've never traded before. like this guy's talking out his ass and now at the same time, how are you supposed to make sense of what he's talking about? He literally just contradicts everything he just said. And that's how you know someone's never traded before. Because when there's no money on the line and there's no one aware of what you're doing right then and there and it works in your hands, that is exactly how it's supposed to be. You've not invited anybody else to critique it. You don't have to live up to the expectation. They're never going to be able to tell you, "Why didn't you buy more? Why didn't you use a smaller stop-loss? Why didn't you aim higher? or why didn't you hold the short longer?" That's the devil. That's the accuser that goes right in the mouth of these people. And social media is his playground. And I many times like Elijah, I look at all of you false prophets of Baal. And I beg you all come out here and build an altar and let's see who knows what. And I slaughter all of you all the time. Some of you won't even take a step. You know, I ain't I'm I'm pretty good at trade, but I just let's just pretend that guy doesn't even exist. I got people blocking me that I've never even seen before because they're attached to something else that someone's talking about. I'm like, let me click on and I'm blocked. I don't even know who the [ __ ] these people are, but I'm blocked. I've never even mentioned that before, but I'm blocked. It's like the scene in Deadpool where all the the the mutants are in the in the study and they see Deadpool rolling down in the wheelchair and they're like, "Oh [ __ ] let's just let's just close the door, pretend he's not here." That's what it's like. It's amazing how that character lines up with what my whole life is like online. He's my spirit animal.

But you have to have it in you to know that there's absolutely something new under the sun for you. And that might just be $1,000 a week and that's all you ever get to. You know what that means? You've succeeded. But you won't look at it like that unless you're making six figures a month. Imagine. Imagine just for a moment if all you managed to do is find consistency where your comfort level with just managing risk and the frequency of trading only yields you $1,000 net every single week. What happens if that happens to you? For some of you, you're thinking that's failure, man. That's failure. It's not even worth feeling. Really? Really? You're telling me that you walk out your house every [ __ ] day and on Friday morning there's a $1,000 sitting on the bottom step of your front porch. You're going to curse that. You're going to say, "Fuck this [ __ ] I better not come back out here next Friday and find this $1,000. Somebody's ass is in a sling if I find another thousand out here next." You hear me? But that's the equivalent what you're doing when you see progress that you see right now and you can't see beyond it. You can't see past that right now. This is the best that you've arrived at. It's a plateau. You can't get past it. Well, what happens if you never get past that? Is that a curse? Are you doing less by doing so? [ __ ] no. That's a blessing. That's your ends being met. That's grocery [ __ ] money. Maybe even all the subscription [ __ ] that you signed up to every [ __ ] month that you think it's only cheap, but you got 30 of them and you're spending a [ __ ] car payment and all these little services that you don't need, but you say you don't have money to trade. I block this woman. She's, "Oh, I got a GoFundMe. Come on. Let's run it up, guys. If you care, help a G. Come on, man. Help me get help me get an account." [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you, woman. Get yourself a [ __ ] job. Get yourself a [ __ ] job and then put your own [ __ ] money in an account. [ __ ] panhandling people. Unbelievable level of entitlement. Get the [ __ ] out of here. You lazy [ __ ] You lazy [ __ ] I got no patience and time for people like that. Get the [ __ ] out of here. The people that are going to do it, they're going to do it with their own [ __ ] effort, their own [ __ ] money. They're going to [ __ ] strap down and say, "You know what? I got [ __ ] around my house I don't need. Let me [ __ ] sell it. I got time on the weekend, I can deliver some [ __ ] pizzas. I can [ __ ] do that. It's not beneath me. I know that if I do this for three [ __ ] months, yeah, somebody might see me. It might be [ __ ] embarrassing. It might be a little [ __ ] put down. Oh, look at this guy. I saw him delivering pizza. Haha. But if you got a model, if you got a [ __ ] model that you've been working behind the scenes that nobody can critique you on, and you've seen the evidence that you can do it, and you're managing the risks, you're managing the expectations of just yourself, not everybody else's observed perspective of whether you should be good or not. What What measurement of good are you at really in their eyes? [ __ ] their ass. [ __ ] them. These people work. That's like an athlete that's [ __ ] making millions of dollars on the [ __ ] playing field going up to the audience. Hey, listen. Um, that last play I just did. We just won the Super Bowl, but what's your what's your opinion? The [ __ ] out of here. You got no opinion. You're a spectator. You paid to watch. I'm paid to [ __ ] do. It doesn't matter what none of you [ __ ] think about me. It doesn't matter what they think about you. It does not matter. They can't see past the right now. So your progress, the plateau you're on right here, right now, that's not it. That's not all there is. All that means is you have now got to dig your heels in and say, "Okay, what am I missing? I can't get past this $1,000 a week." And if it may not be $1,000. It may be you're only making break even. Make a little bit of money. come by Friday, you're back down to the same thing you had at the beginning of the week and you've been there for weeks. I'm going to tell you as an educator, as someone that's gone through the same [ __ ] that is progress. You're not blowing the account. You're not staying in draw down. But there's a weird state or transition that has to take place there when you're at break even. That's where you get impatient because you want to leave it. You want to quickly leave being a break even trader because you're just sick of it. I got to start seeing money. You are seeing money. You are. You're coming out of those little draw down those losing trades. That's progress. There's so many more people out there that can't do that. And you got to accept the fact that that's where you're at for right now until you grow out of it. How long you stay there is dictated

By how you think and the actions that you take and the people you invite to critique you at that moment. If you're at break even, the worst thing in the world is for you to go online and say you're a break even trader. What are you doing that for? The wrong reasons. You don't realize it, but you're doing it for the wrong [ __ ] reasons.

Nobody's going to come to you and cuddle you and hold you by the shoulders and say, "Honey, listen. Dad, you think you're going to do so much better than you think right now? Just just keep working hard at it, okay? It's everything's going to be fine. It's going to be fine." No, I'm not going to tell you that. I'm going to tell you, well done. That's progress. Because that's good. It's good that you're not blowing the account. But I'm not going to sugar talk and blow smoke up your ass and say, "Honey, everything's going to be great. You're going to be rich."

Because there's a lot of people going to stay in that break even state and then fall victim to impatience because they want to make money real fast. They want to be able to prove to themselves and more importantly everybody outside of themselves that they can do this. They've made it a comeback story like a [ __ ] movie plot. You're the main character. I've done all that stuff before. And every time instead of the Rocky outcome of Rocky 2, it was Rocky one. Sure, he didn't get he didn't get knocked out by Apollo. He got [ __ ] up by Apollo. If you look at how he looked at the end of that match, it didn't look like he did good. He just survived. That's a break even traitor. You got to get the Rocky part two. And when Look what he did. He doesn't look like the same Rocky Balo in that movie in part two. This motherfucker's in shape. What'd he do? Back tested, managed risk, showed up to the gym, studying price. and he had to have his montage moments to encourage him. That's what these are right now. That's why that's why I say that he does Twitter spaces because it activates the main character in you. You feel like you're rocky. You feel like you run through a [ __ ] brick wall. This [ __ ] gets me. That's what I'm talking about.

Baby, preach. I needed to hear that right now. I know. I needed this and nobody did it for me, so I did it for myself. I used to talk this [ __ ] just like this to myself in the [ __ ] car driving. I talked to myself just like this. I was the audience of one and I was talking my [ __ ] to myself. I was the only [ __ ] cheerleader I had. I was the only one that pushed my ass and said, "Get it going. Get it going. Get it going." If you need me or anybody else to fire your ass up, you don't want it bad enough. And I mean it. If you don't [ __ ] get yourself inspired and talk yourself to a point where you appreciate the fact that you're putting the effort into it and the effort you're putting into it is significant. Not well. I I I looked at it for 10 minutes. I watched I watched the first 10 minutes of his video. It's amazing. I'm looking at the statistics on the videos. I I I was wanting to see what's the view time. What's the ratio of viewership for the videos? And I went down to like 5 minutes and 8 minutes. 30% watch time. Why even bother looking at the video? Like why even bother? It's the same thing that happens when I start a new mentorship or new playlist and I put this content up there. The first video out the gate. Yeah, we're all here. Second video, at least a 60% decline and then it falls off even more. And that's why I put all the best stuff towards the later portions of playlists because you don't [ __ ] deserve it when you're lazy. You don't deserve it. You don't deserve it. Why should it be made any easier for you if you're going to be lazy? Because you already proven to me by the statistics are being measured. And I'm not I'm not saying they're accurate. I don't know if they're accurate or not, but I'll trust it enough to say this is what I see. But you're proving to yourself. You see people making money with it. You see me using it every single day, calling it in advance. This is what's going to do and then I'm executing on it. Even if it was a demo account, never was ever a live account ever done used once ever again. You still don't have an excuse. You don't have an excuse. When I showed the live account, it wasn't good enough. When I told you in advance it was a demo account, it wasn't good enough. I don't give a [ __ ] what your opinion is. I don't care. The people that are here to learn, they see it. They know what's going on. And they're like, "Well, if he can do that every day, I can find one of them a week at least, even if it's half of what he's able to do. That's better than my job. And I can let that grow to two years living expense, and get myself 50 to $100,000 in money saved up. And I can quit my job and follow a model I've proven to myself during those two years of saving up those tiers of income. growing my account up to a state of $50,000 to $100,000 where I can not feel the impulse that I have to take a trade because I have to make my bills because I have two years of living experience or not experience expense, not using it to live lavishly. It's just there if you need it. It's not for you to dip into all the time. It's there just in case your trading doesn't give you what you need to make for that month. And when you start seeing how little you have to go to those two years of living expense, that's huge confidence. Huge confidence because now you have a nest egg right from Jump Street where the problem is everybody wants to go into it to build a nest egg before they start trading, you know, live. I'm gonna start trading live and look to quit my job so I can build my nest egg. And that's why you fail. That's why I failed over and over and over again as a young man. I was rushing it. I was begging for something new to be under the sun then, not recognizing I was holding it in my hands. And I had something that worked really well and I demanded it to do more than I needed it to do. And because I was living up, well, not living up, but I was trying to live up to the measurement that other people online when I was first starting. It's just there was this website, okay? And I think I've mentioned this before. I'll say it here because I don't really want to put it in the book and and immortalize the guy, but this is going to be enough for it. His name was Dean Keller. Never saw the guy's face. He had a very You think my website's generic? This is This guy's [ __ ] [ __ ] was even worse. It was basically a hammock between two palm trees, a cartoonish drawing of a beach hammock. And he called himself the Caribbean trader. And you never seen him call anything out. He never gave any trade ideas. He would always just post that he made like $19,000 on a trade in commodities. And I used to look at that [ __ ] and it would piss me off. I'm like, man, this is [ __ ] When I was making a a couple hundred dollars a day on a very small account trading the grains, that was big for me. That was progress. I mean, we're talking back then where my whole [ __ ] week after taxes, bring home pay was $285, man. And I was making that sometimes in one day just trading soybeans or corn. Not every day, but in one day I could make that. And that's huge [ __ ] progress. But when I would read this guy's billboard post or his website post, he would always talk about what he did. And that pissed me off. I'm like, "This [ __ ] never shows a losing trade. He's always making like annual salaries in in his trades." And I I couldn't stop going back to watch it like a dog returning back to its vomit. And it bothered me. This [ __ ] faceless piece of [ __ ] that never proved he could [ __ ] trade had that much influence of me as a 20-year-old. And that's why I love the fact that I have that influence over people that love to hate me. They don't even have a valid reason to even hate me, but they do. So, I [ __ ] with them all the time. I give them a little bit of bait and let them run their mouth. And then I come up here with a sledgehammer and smash their [ __ ] head in.

Hello. Every week is the same [ __ ] show here. The outcome is predetermined. I know what's going to happen. I know what's going to be able to be used by me as a trader. And I know where I'm not going to want to take a trade in. I don't want to take a trade in certain conditions. I teach enough of that to keep you out of the majority of the trouble, but I'm not going to teach you everything about that because then that's me teaching what I'm holding for my kids. There are times when block won't be there. There are times when a fair value gap will [ __ ] fail. It will. It will do that. I know when they're going to be likely to see that happen. That's why you see I'm very selective of when I'm telling you I'm going to be participating in in front of you. And when I participate in front of you, I'm batting a thousand. And that's the track record that matters. Knowing in advance before it happens and then I'm telling you it's going to do it. And then it I do it. You can't fake that, folks. You cannot [ __ ] fake it. When you scroll left and it's the same [ __ ] account, you can't fake that. Sorry if it hurts your [ __ ] feelings. Not sorry. But you have to find a way to motivate yourself beyond me. Cuz I'm getting old, folks. And I'm going to be real honest with you. It's very hard for me to be inspired to make these [ __ ] videos. Like I I I just don't want to do it. I don't want to do it. You know, I look at my family, how how my youngest, he's graduated homeschooling now. Like, I'm if I wasn't raising my niece, I'm close to being an empty neester. And all the decisions I made to be ICT are really coming home to roost right now because I look at all the time that I wasted not being dead. If you're not careful, you can do a lot of things living a lifestyle where you think you're entertaining yourself, and you might be, but you're doing things that are going to pale in value when you look back and you say, you know, if I could go back in time, would I have done it the same way? No. Nope. My biggest life lessons I can share with you as someone that's been doing this for 33 years, my best advice, and I mean this wholeheartedly is to not live online. Don't make your wishes, your pursuits known to anybody else. You just do it. Never allow someone to be able to critique what your life's passions are and what you're doing while building it up. Think about it in the corporate world. When they have a new idea, remember there's something that's never nothing new under the sun, but there's always some new gadget, new thing that everybody wants to buy. So again, that scripture has been misappropriated to many things. It teaches that everybody does the same things by habits and there's nothing new under the sun. We fall victim to our own selves. And then when you realize that you're doing the same things wrong and you don't make changes, there's nothing new on the sun. Then you're going to constantly go right back to where you started and feel like you're living a self-defeated life. When your perspective needs to be changed, like a corporate perspective, when they have a new product or new service in the board, when they're all talking about how they're going to do it, how they're going to bring it to market, it's hush hush. You cannot talk about it, but sometimes it gets leaked to other companies and then all a sudden you see another company spit out their version of it beforehand so they can get ahead of it. Kind of like what all you [ __ ] are doing on Amazon trying to write your books. You're going to look real [ __ ] stupid when mine drop. It's going to [ __ ] be fun. But anyway, the point is there's always going to be somebody out there that's going to come up with a new way of doing something. It doesn't necessarily mean it's the right way for you. doesn't mean it's the right way at all. It just means that they're marketing it as such. And in corporate world, it's a hush hush. You need to do the same thing because you incorporated you, the person, whatever your name is incorporated. That's your enterprise. Why the [ __ ] are you taking boardroom planning and strategizing and bring it to the public eye before it's even brought to market yet? You're not AR. You haven't arrived yet. That successful image of who you are as a trader that makes money consistently, you can [ __ ] in anybody's [ __ ] palm that says you ain't nothing before you're there. Why are you giving trade secrets and design plans about yourself? Why are you making it public before that product is realized in you? Why are you doing that? Because that's exactly what you're doing. And that's why 80% of businesses [ __ ] fail because they don't plan for setbacks. They [ __ ] plan for good only working. It's always the best stuff and they're not prepared for adversities. They're under capitalized and you don't have the mental capital to weather the [ __ ] that's going to come at you when you're learning and you bring up my name or anything else. I don't give a [ __ ] You could be making money. You come to me and you talk to me about Elliot [ __ ] wave, supply and demand, white golf, any [ __ ] thing. I'm going to laugh in your [ __ ] face. I'm going to laugh in your [ __ ] face because it's substandard. It pales into comparison to what it is I do and what I'm teaching. Nothing gets closer to perfect to the tick. Nobody gets better than that. No system is consistent in doing that but ours. We do that. That's that's a normal day at the job. That's That's business as usual around here. Precision Incorporated. That's us. That's [ __ ] us. We're not imitating somebody else. We're not putting a new sticker on a [ __ ] outside and calling it something else. We're walking the talk. We are [ __ ] doing it. We are doing it. And nobody else outside of this community can touch it or even come [ __ ] close. And none of them have the [ __ ] balls to come here and say, "Here's what I can do better. Just like Brad Pitt and Troy. Is that all? Is there no one else? Is there no one else? Because I've conquered every [ __ ] school of thought and trading. There ain't a [ __ ] out there that can come close to this. Not one. Not one. And you doubt. You're all waiting for a champion that ain't going to come. They ain't going to [ __ ] come. And the whole time you're wasting time. You could do so much better than I did. You could have been faster on your feet than I was. You could have went into this with far less anxiety by thinking how I'm teaching you to think. I didn't have all this stuff, man. I didn't have this. So I know if I know by living it and this is what I've learned. These are the these are the proper perspectives. If you apply that to superiority of what I'm teaching in technical terms, you are [ __ ] impossible to overcome. You can't you can't worry about other people being even close to you. Then you're on a different plane of existence, man. It's not even like like you're [ __ ] relatable to anybody else. It sounds arrogant. This guy's full of [ __ ] Listen to him. He believes his own [ __ ] I'm that same [ __ ] that tells you where the price is going and I'm in it. I don't get it [ __ ] wrong. Unless I want to. Unless I want to. That's that little dig. Oh, he only loses when he wants to. He did that to teach you. You're [ __ ] right. I did that just to teach you. I can show you a loss. I can do that for you. No sweat. It's absolutely 100% scripted. I'm staying kayf, baby. But you're ignoring every time I tell you it's going to do it and it does. It's funny how that's a selective discussion. You give them a little bit of cheese, a little bit of bait. Look at this. Look at this. And I got my strings on you making you dance around like a marionette. You're my amusement. People that come here and they hate and they talk [ __ ] Stay here long enough and I'll make you eat your words. And some of you like watch me do that. And I feel guilty when I do that because I'm inspiring you to to look for those types of things. That's the one thing I wish I didn't didn't do. But that's the 20-year-old me coming out. Like, I I got to get my [ __ ] taste of blood and twist that [ __ ] knife because I needed to be able to do that back then. I don't need to do that now. I don't need that. If all of you change teams and say, "You know what? [ __ ] ICT." Okay, I'm good. [ __ ] I'm going to wake up in this house tomorrow, drive the same [ __ ] cars, have the same bank account balances, go over to [ __ ] wherever I want to go, choose not to go where I don't want to go, and not have to have a job for the rest of my days. Whether you love me or don't like me, whether you believe what I teach works or doesn't work. I'm at a [ __ ] you level with [ __ ] you money. And I'm not here to prove that I have all that just so I can look good. I come here to show you that I know what I'm talking about. I have the authority to teach what it is I'm teaching because I authored it. I know it better than anybody else. It's not an incomplete understanding that all of you have. But even a fractional understanding of the things I teach is a [ __ ] lightear leap ahead of everything else. That's what I'm trying for you to recognize. And where you're at in that spectrum of development and progress is unique to you. And you have to submit to wherever you're at right now and realize that you are on a journey. You're taking yourself from one state of existence to a higher plane of existence with understanding and you are able to stay in rule-based parameters. Most people can't do that and that's why they fail. That's why businesses fail because they don't plan well. They have a poor uh plan in terms of business plan and they don't have it mathematically, statistically probable they're going to be successful at all. Look how many times pizzeras and sub shops open up in your area. I guarantee you they are the fastest startups and closings and you'll ever notice in your in your in your neighborhood in your communities. I worked those types of jobs when I was a teenager. I delivered food for them. I made the cheese steak. They had a [ __ ] walking around here. They can't make a better cheese steak than me. People from Philadelphia come down here and eat from my [ __ ] [ __ ] I used to be [ __ ] good at it. I was a good grill man. But I've watched many places open up and close down because they don't plan well and they also go into a saturated market. Supply and demand is the secret sauce to trading. Okay, why does everybody have a differenti supply and demand zone? Why aren't they all seeing the same [ __ ] supply and demand zone on that very time frame? They're all looking at that one time frame, but they see something else. But then you come into our community, there's only one [ __ ] breaker. There's only one first presented fair value gap. It's already [ __ ] not even the competition. It's already completely insane comparing itself to it. I mean, you got you got to really talk to yourself. Next time you're driving home from work, tell yourself, you know what? I'm learning how to identify the very moment where price is going to go back to and use that as a trade to send price higher or lower to a level I can clearly see is a drawing liquidity. You know what that [ __ ] is? That is a super [ __ ] power because 99.9% of these dumb [ __ ] chasing retail [ __ ] logic and hero worshipping giving hero fellatio to people that can't even [ __ ] trade out of a wet paper bag. These [ __ ] are worshiping these people that can't [ __ ] trade and they're ignoring what you're [ __ ] learning and I'm proving. And other students are killing it and they're [ __ ] ignoring it. Why? Because they're choking on the [ __ ] character of ICT. They don't want to be able to say, "I learned from this [ __ ] guy." They don't want to do it. And I love that. I [ __ ] love it because I've proven that you can't do it without you even making an effort to try. I killed your [ __ ] spirit just by me talking, let alone coming out here and [ __ ] trying to put something up against it. You're not ready. You can't acquire success with that level of weakness. That is not even beta. It's beneath beta. When you realize what I've placed in your [ __ ] hands, I've given you clarity. I've given you principlebased procedures and things that you're looking for and only looking for it only filtering out all of the [ __ ] that they call noise. It's transfer transferable knowledge, folks. You can't escape that now. It's undeniable. It would hold up in a court of law that this is transferable knowledge. works if people see it all over the place. Why do you think they want to make the change of uh the trading hours and do away with that break? Because it's been revealed now. That's not them changing the algorithm. That's just them trying to evolve above what I'm teaching. But they can't evolve beyond what I got. I got the source [ __ ] code. How you going to How you going to do that? You can't. Sure, you can make 24-hour trading. Nothing's going to change that same reference in time. Even though price is still going to trade, they're still going to use those reference points. That's that's part of the algorithm. But see, the people that talk about algorithm, they don't know that. They don't know what the [ __ ] they're talking about. They're blowing schnook out their ass. Oh yeah, I got the most powerful [ __ ] algorithm in the world now. No, you don't. You didn't make $150,000 or almost $150,000 this week. You didn't. So, shut the [ __ ] up. Sit down. Sell your mentorship. Sell the mentorship. Instead of saying, "What if this doesn't work in my hands?" You may be talking to yourself and say, "You know what? What's it going to be like when I wake up and I know that it isn't a dream? I know what I'm doing and I've been consistent and I don't have any fear of it not working in the future, even if I have a couple losing trades in the future. How are you going to react to that? Have you spent any time considering what it's going to feel like for you when you know when you know that you have been doing it the same way consistently and it keeps yielding itself to you? I guar [ __ ] tell you you haven't thought about it like that. I guarantee you you have not thought like that. But you have every day, hundreds of times reflected on the idea that maybe this guy's full of [ __ ] He's just

A good marketer. Somehow he's a magician. Somehow he's just making it look like I can unleash. He's hypnotizing me. That's what it is. This guy is a master hypnotist because he said he likes to be a magician. He does magic tricks.

By the way, uh, Trades by Matt just posted he's going to be doing poker games. I was tempted to do a skit. I might I might do it later today. Um, I know how to card count, and I also know how to run a deck, and I I'll show it to you. I'll show I'll show it to you. And I can't wait to be invited. I can't wait to deal because I'm going in heavy-handed on every hand I'm dealing. And I promise you, I'll leave I'll leave a little bit on the table for you, but I'm going to win the most.

It's hard for me to get a card game. People that know me, they don't they don't want to play cards with me. And you'll see [ __ ] why. You'll see why. But I view trading the same way. I learned how to be a card counter. I learned how to stack the [ __ ] deck in my [ __ ] favor. I know how to give the other players a hand that they're going to put money behind, but my hand's going to be better.

Now, think about it. Say you knew those concepts to be able to do that. That sets you apart, doesn't it? Why would you want to teach everything you know? You never would. You would never teach everything. But I can teach you how to stack a deck, how to run a hand up, and I could do false shuffles. You think this this deck is being shuffled? It's not. I can let you shuffle the deck. As soon as I get it back in my hands, it's back in the deck order I want it to be in. Sounds crazy, right? But it's all management, a card mechanic.

And that's why people that know how to beat the casinos are not allowed to stay there. That's why you have to lose some. When you're in your brokerage account and you know you can do really, really well, and you see sometimes your brokers start [ __ ] with you. A lot of misquot. That's them trying to [ __ ] your [ __ ] up. When I see that, I take a couple of days off of trading. They don't get to have the opportunity to make uh commissions off me, and then when I come back, I'll throw a loss or two on there and then go right back the way it was. You have to manage that kind of stuff, folks.

I know it sounds like, you know, look, this guy just said he loses on purpose to to trick his broker. You don't trade the same size as I do. None of you [ __ ] people do. None of you people do what I do. None of you. So when you get [ __ ] with, you have to compensate. Hurt them a little bit. I see what you're doing, and you're making commissions off of what I'm doing. So I'll slow the [ __ ] roll down. Done. You remind them that they are a middleman that you can pick another middleman. You don't have to clear your uh trades through any one particular broker. And all of them suck.

You always ask me, you know, can you recommend a broker? No, cuz they're all [ __ ] thieves. They're [ __ ] and they're pieces of [ __ ]. And when they can, they will [ __ ] you deep and long. How's that work for you? So, all the brokerage firms that always come out to me and they always say, "Hey, look, you I could I could pay I I could be making the most [ __ ] money right now just from some of the deals that have been offered to me." I'm not going to do those things. I'm not going to do it.

As soon as you see anything affiliate next to my name, I've lost all credibility. That means I'm not rich. That means I need people's money. That means I need an affiliate deal. It means I have to have this partnership or I can't exist. And that also means that my opinion about something, specifically that item or service, is paid for. So how could you trust it? You can't. So I'm organic as there is. There ain't nobody like me. You can't pay for my [ __ ] testimonial. You can't buy my way out of a bad opinion of your service. If I like it, I like it. If I like what you're doing, I I mean it. If I don't like something, I don't like something. And that's an opportunity for you to improve your service. That's how I would interpret it.

But you spend more time worrying about staying in this loop of losing. You stay in this loop of never seeing progress. And if you don't journal, you're never going to recognize progress. You're never going How about How about that for insanity? If you are not measuring your KPIs, key performance indicators, what are you doing every day consistently? And how are the results yielding itself to you? Are you measuring anything like that? I'm not talking about, oh, I demo. What the [ __ ] are you doing just pushing buttons? That doesn't mean [ __ ]. What are you doing at a very specific time with a very specific candle? How much time have you spent with the first present value? How many times did you look back over old data in the Dow? I don't trade the Dow. You said the Dow, right? Go back through anyway. Go back through the S&P. Go back through the NASDAQ. How many times have you studied the first percent value gap between 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. Eastern time? How does it yield price higher or lower over the next three days? What? Mhm. Yep.

Folks, there's so many things to mine and learn from. I've given you all the things that you would ever need, where to look for the answers to the questions that's ever going to pop up. I taught in a way where I have already factored in all the questions that you are going to ask or want answers to right now and haven't got to the video part where it says this is what I do this for. I've covered everything. I've covered all of it. But you're not patient enough to go through the content. You want a straightforward here. Save me some time and get me this answer. And as soon as you get that answer, it's going to open up more questions, and you're going to like find me a shortcut to get the answers to all these other things. Who's doing the work there? Not you. So, you're not going to appreciate the epiphany, that moment where you're like, "Wow, I that happened in my own hands."

That's why I teach like that magician you thought I was talking about earlier, Paul Harris. Like, you brought him up, and what the hell was all that about? His interview when the guy was interviewing him, he said, "You know what? What is the thing you love most about performing? And he goes, I love dividing my audience. Like you see all the magicians, and they all want to wow their their respective audience and like whoa, what the [ __ ] Oh man, my mind screwed up. Mind freak. Are you ready? He got bored with that because obviously a world-class magician, you know, you doing slight of hands and you you can do some wonderful things and make the audience suspend their belief about the reality they just observed in your hands or in their own hands. So he started playfully working with his audience, and he would sometimes look to offend at minimum half of them. And then it was like his job, the entertainment factor for him was if he can win them back over as, you know, supportive audience members by the end of the show. And to me, it didn't make any sense when I first heard it. I'm like, what a dick. Like, what a real [ __ ]. If I paid to go watch this guy and I only liked half the show and the other half the show left me pissed off and I didn't like him. I thought he was an [ __ ]. Like, I'll be like, this is this is a terrible experience. Sure, he's a good magician, but he's an [ __ ].

I adopted that as ICT. I I openly welcome the idea that at least half of you are going to hate my persona. You're going to hate the [ __ ] character that I'm presenting. That's not me. But it's part of the marketing strategy I use to get you talking. Because if you're talking, even if you're complaining and you're never here to learn, you worked for me. You brought people's curiosity here, and I never had to pay an advertisement for that. And I'm the most followed person in mentoring. I'm the most person not most person. I'm the person that's most willing to give you free time teachings, and I walk it. I don't talk it. I walk it. Talk it. Teach it. Predict it. Deliver it. And nothing comes close. There's nothing comes close to what we do. Not one [ __ ] thing comes close to this.

So, what I've done over the years is I I take my audience, and when they get comfortable, I cause discomfort, and it keeps things fresh. I challenge your perspective of what it is you've witnessed and what you've done in your own hands. I've watched people flip-flop. They come here, yeah, this is the greatest thing in the [ __ ] world. They they can't make money with it or they see me do something or not do something. They're like, "Fuck this guy. He's a piece of shit." You know, blah blah blah blah blah. But they're still teaching or talking about everything I've taught. And then all of a sudden I do something. I present a new playlist or I come out and I start calling the market live, and then I'm like, whoa, he's the [ __ ] Superman again. What do you know? It's IT doing ICT things. I see you when you do that. And that's beta level [ __ ]. You're a fair weather student. That means you're swayed by public perspective and opinion. You're not where you should be. You shouldn't even be following me. If you know what you're doing, you're trading. You shouldn't even be looking at my [ __ ] posts. You shouldn't be looking at my [ __ ] videos. You shouldn't be listening to me. I'm talking to an audience that's finding their way still. Once you arrive, once you follow the logic to get you where you need to be at, you're not watching my [ __ ] no more. Doesn't mean I'm not teaching stuff that doesn't work. It just means that you have arrived. You ain't got time for ICT. I ain't got time for him, man. He can talk and talk and talk. I ain't got I got I got [ __ ] to do. I got opportunities in front of me. I'm taking advantage of him. If I sit around listen to this [ __ ] guy all time, I'm missing [ __ ].

That's the right mentality. That's the right attitude. And some of you think that that's somebody's [ __ ] on me because they don't mention my [ __ ] name every time they make money in the future because they they figured out what it is for the for themselves. They don't need to thank me every [ __ ] day. Like I'm not a deity. What the [ __ ] is wrong with you people? Like I did my job. I provided for them. I taught them. I coached them. They found their [ __ ] way. They thanked me. They went on and they did their own [ __ ] thing. That's exactly what you're supposed to be [ __ ] doing here. It's not [ __ ] betrayal. It's not, "Oh, you're a piece of [ __ ]. You're not respective of the mentor." The mentor. That's [ __ ] weird, man. That is some weird [ __ ]. The mentor. Like, I'm the the [ __ ] toll of smart money concepts. Like, there's no higher um than me, right? It's weird, man. Your only job is to come here, endure the [ __ ] I put you through because that's exactly what trading is going to be like. That's exactly what it's like. You're going to have all this hopes and dreams about how you're going to take this winning trade today. And you got to watch all this [ __ ] price action. And then finally, you've waited, and the money shot comes, that little pieces of the the long drawn out presentation. I'm dropping those gems. I'm telling you what it is that Yeah, finally got listen all this [ __ ].

All of my [ __ ] students have said this about me. All of them. He talks too much. I'm doing two things. Number one, I'm hiding it from lazy [ __ ] that don't deserve it. And two, I'm conditioning you for the people that want it right now and easy because it's not going to be like that. It's not going to be like that, folks. You're going to have to work a lot, study a lot, go through a lot of hardships and doubting and second guessing yourself. And I'm teaching you that that's normal. And if I didn't believe this [ __ ], if I knew that this didn't work in other people's hands, I wouldn't waste all this time making no money off of wasting time. Why am I here? Why am I here right now? Why am I here on Saturdays when I show up and do this kind of stuff? Don't I have better things to [ __ ] do? You're damn right I do. But I know these discussions are going to be playing through your earphones in the gym during your lunch break. Some of you doing worse things like smoke breaks at work, and you're going to be listening to this stuff, and there's going to be a moment where you're listening to that, and it's going to kick you in the ass and say, you know what? [ __ ] he just nailed me right there. That's me. He's talking to me about me right now, and I'm going to do what he said. I'm going to change things right here. I'm going to change the way I think about my own actions, my own fears. I got to shut down anything about fear. Shut it down.

If you're going through the proper procedure like I've outlined, which is you back test, see if there's any ability to do things I say are existing in price action. Then what you do is you tape read. That means you're just watching. That's all you're doing. You're not pushing a demo account. Just watching and observing and taking the data that you're feeling, not just clearly the open high low and close and how the price moves, but more specifically how you are internalizing at that moment. You'll be astonished at how you feel anxiety when something that you don't have any vested real interest in in terms of risk, but the outcome means something. You're like, "This better work. If this doesn't work over the next over the next 10 times I do this, if it doesn't work at least seven [ __ ] times, I am not doing any more of this bullshit." ICT stuff. Some of you I just nailed right there. Damn it. He's [ __ ] good. Get out of my [ __ ] head, ICT. I was I was the same person. Trust me, I was the same [ __ ] thing. Calling Larry's 900 number about S&P. All right. The last three times I did not do what he said to do. And yeah, his stop loss weathered that move. He was able to see the profit. I couldn't. But if this one doesn't happen right now, I'm never going to call it again. I still called it. You put yourself through all these. It better do this or I'm gonna Come on, man. Like you're opening yourself up to the universe, and the universe is gonna, okay, I'm gonna reveal the the the proper decisions based on the outcome of these next four or five things. That's nonsense. That's crazy. That's crazy level superstition. And if you got the the faith to put things like that to task in outcomes, why don't you put the real work of saying, "Okay, I'm going to go back and look at a specific like the first presenter everybody got." And then I'm going to tape read it for a couple of weeks and press no demo account. And then if I see some progress there where it seems like it means that there's an opportunity here, I'm going to test it with a demo account. Now, mind you, you haven't placed any money at risk at all yet. You're still discovering what you're feeling when you take these engagements and price action. That's the secret recipe, folks. Because when you get, you know, this moment of euphoria, that means that you're probably going to be more likely to rush into opening up an account with real money, and you're going to think you're prepared before you really are. That's the that's the trap for that. The other one is where you don't think it's going to work, and then when you do have a live account, you're afraid to take the trade because you place the emphasis so much on the outcome having to be profitable. So, you're wrestling fear and greed. Those two enemies are always there. They're always going to be there. They never go away.

How are you able to hold on to these trades and this this number of contracts and why are you able to do this and my experience? I've desensitized myself to it. When you when you first start out, you you're scared of everything. Scared of your own shadow. And it's normal. That's why you never invite other people to critique your measure of fear because the only thing they're going to deposit into you is more reasons to self self-doubt. That's all it is. They're not going to encourage you. So, don't ask for my encouragement publicly because you're going to get 15 other people come behind and say, "Well, this is the right way of doing it." And these people aren't making money. They've never traded life uh profitably, and they don't even know what the [ __ ] you're talking about. But everybody's got a PhD in psychology, and they want to help you out. And I'm sorry. Unless you're making millions of [ __ ] dollars a year. You're not telling me anything. Sorry. And nobody's telling me anything in trading. I'm unteachable. I'm unteachable. They have an expression where you need to be unemployable. I'm unteachable when it comes to trading. You can't teach me anything else. I know the open, high, low, and close. I know what the [ __ ] going to happen. I know what time it's going to do it. So, I don't need to have a conversation on anybody else about how they can improve upon me on that. But I am interested in other people and how they found success and their adversities. I could care less how they trade. That's the least important thing to me ever. But the what they endure is important to me because that teaches a whole lot more about a person's tenacity and desire to overcome which is a ingrained natural tenant to all consistently profitable traders. If you don't have that trait in you or can't develop it, you're doomed. It doesn't matter if you trade my [ __ ] or anybody else's. It does not [ __ ] matter. You have to have that characteristic within you. And I teach you in a manner that helps cultivate that. And it's not an overnight progress. It's not a transition from the the lowest meakest, you know, self-doubting person to all of a sudden now you're the [ __ ] conqueror of the world. Crawl the conqueror. It's going to be a whole lot of fighting with yourself internally. You're going to wrestle with things. Why did I keep doing that? Why do I think that? Why am I afraid of those things? Why am I allowing this person's opinion about what it is I'm doing have any impact over me? Why did I second guess myself? You're going to spend more time thinking like that than saying, "What happens if this stuff works in I follow all the rules and I put it off for too long? I'm going to wish I would have started sooner. That's a good problem to have. That's a good problem to have because that means number one that by saying that it's really emphasizing the measure of strength of the thing that you now know how to do. If you have a regret that you should have started sooner with me thinking this way about the marketplace, that's the shest cheerleading moment you could ever give yourself. Because what that is testifying is is there's nothing better. There's nothing better than that. You're not going to chase some new strategy. You're not going to chase some new goober, new mentor, new nothing. You found home. Home is your model. You don't need to leave home to be happy. Home is where the heart is. And all the things you care about most are in home. Your loved ones, your prized possessions, your treasures. You need to treat your trading the same way. Guard it. Don't let everybody [ __ ] on the internet have a [ __ ] say about what you do and what you shouldn't do. [ __ ] these people. There ain't nobody out there doing better than me. Not one [ __ ] doing better than me. And Pat, listen to this one. Any of you [ __ ] would take the least bank account balance I got and trade all the [ __ ] for that. So, I'm the I'm the king of the [ __ ] hill, okay? I'm the king of the hill, and I'm talking to you in terms that mean [ __ ]. Okay? This is stuff that I wish I would have been told when I was younger because it would have had a lasting impression on me, and I would have saved myself misery. I would have saved myself self-loathing, self-hate, depression, anguish, and lots and lots of [ __ ] money. Chasing an outcome in a trade to replace feelings I've had, emotions I'm feeling and going through. I would try to remedy the things I'm enduring in my real world outside of charts. I needed to have a winning trade to make myself feel good. And no matter how much I made, it wasn't good enough. I felt like I it didn't it didn't help. Let me go on and trade another one. Not because there's a trade setup there, because I want to dull the pain of my existence. That right there nailed most of you. You're not trading to be better and be a pro provider for yourself. You're trading to be more significant in the eyes of others. And if you start treating that way, you're [ __ ]. You're [ __ ]. You're already you've lost the plot because you're going to see every opportunity for you to come out in a montage moment, a Rocky part two outcome when you're stuck in the prequel part one where he gets his ass beat and just barely survives. But because you go home, you see all the bruises and swelling. [ __ ] the trading isn't working out for me as fast as I wanted to. I'm just going to tell Mickey I quit. Mickey's his coach, by the way. He's boxing coach in the movie. If you didn't see it, it's a good movie. Go watch it. But the uh the self-defeating characteristics that we have as humans, it's really easy to tap into that as a as a developing trader and see that it's it's not worth the trouble. It's not worth the trouble. It's easy to talk yourself out of it because it isn't an immediate gratification. It takes a lot of effort, a lot of work, and you're deferring a lot of what you believe should be right away success. Losing sight of everybody outside of trading, everything they've ever done, ever that becomes wildly successful, it didn't happen overnight for them. Look at Look at Jeff Bezos. This [ __ ] guy the same time I'm watching Larry Williams VHS tapes about how, you know, everything is useful to him. I'm subscribing to it all. I'm I'm watching them every day. Every day. Every day. Every day. Watching them. In 1995, Jeff Bezos is in his [ __ ] garage with an Amazon sign hanging off of a makeshift little desk, and he's trying to build his empire. Anybody watching that man doing that that way is probably looking at saying, "What a [ __ ] clown. What a goober. What a goober. That guy, Amazon." Now everybody's [ __ ] shopped from Amazon. Everybody Everybody's bought something. He's made money off of all of us. Trust me, my wife has made sure of it. But now he looks like a [ __ ] super villain. Like a super bond villain. He's accepted baldness, shaved his [ __ ] head. He's taking tests. He's [ __ ] working out. He's [ __ ] super super villain, right? He's the He's the Lex Luthor we deserved. Modest beginnings. Look how long it took for Amazon to kick off. It didn't happen overnight. He had modest, humble beginnings. I'm sure he was probably thinking, "Man, this is [ __ ] this is taking"

A lot of effort, a lot of lot of time. What did he do? He stuck to the process. Now, there ain't a [ __ ] in the world that doesn't recognize who he is or his company.

So, when you feel like you been doing it enough, I should have had success by now. What you're feeling is what everybody in the process of finding success goes through. Every person, every single person has that moment. But that same moment is the detour for people that don't have it in them to be successful because they say, "All right, I I expect more successful right now. I at this time I should have been." And those that know what they're doing and they have a model that works are honest with themselves. It's okay. The only thing holding me back is me because I have something that works. I have to be responsible and realize what I'm doing is derailing myself. I'm trying to do something before the time I should or doing it after the optimal time for doing it. So therefore, am I getting a true measurement of the model? No. But you are measuring yourself realistically that you have weaknesses that have to be addressed. But you want to fault the model. You want to fault the market. You want to fault the [ __ ] that's outside of yourself. And that's where the successful people separate themselves from that. They own it. They own that part of it and they work on themselves diligently to refine themselves because once the model proves itself, it doesn't need to prove itself anymore. The operator has to prove himself or herself using it and it has to be employed within the realm of the procedures and processes and limitations that the model is built on.

First presented fair value gap is not designed to call the high of the [ __ ] week. Did you ever hear me talk about that? No. When the first presented fair value gap forms today, today it can't be the high of this week because it has range above and below it. But the same problem of using that very mechanism right then and there for that purpose, that's what you're doing with your model. You're demanding your model do something it's not equipped to do. And you're not going to recognize what I mean by saying that until you've done some time studying it.

But once you find that model that you see this is what you see doing or what you should be doing in price and how price is behaving, it keeps popping off the chart. You say, "I don't know. I I'm trying to learn this silver bullet [ __ ] I'm trying to learn this Model 22. I'm looking at all these other playlists and [ __ ] but this is I keep seeing this breaker do this. That's your [ __ ] model. That's your [ __ ] model, man. If that's the thing that keeps jumping off of the chart, that's what I've been talking about all this [ __ ] time. There is no perfect model. There's no [ __ ] perfect model. There's no perfect PD array. There's no [ __ ] perfect application of what I've taught. It's just what's perfectly suitable for you. Sounds incredible, doesn't it? That shouldn't be like that. I see every one of your students should be s doing the same thing. They should be saying the same thing about the same price action on the same time frame. Get the [ __ ] out of here. That's how you know somebody doesn't know what the [ __ ] they're talking about.

But I believe the same way when I was younger that everybody that wins should have the same trade and that buying pressure pushes price up or selling pressure pushes it down. That's why it works like it does. That was the stupid infancy I I had as a as a nobody. 20 years old out the gate, that was my first conspiracy thought. That's not true. Even in my own hands, I have an arsenal that I could be buying and selling, going short, going long, all different time frames, doing different models, and they all, absolutely all of them can be profitable. Doing all those things that are against all the other models, which is why people that don't trade with our stuff can still be profitable. What's the separation? They're good risk managers because the things they believe, why price going up and down, it's a it's a facade. It's a myth. But to them it's acceptable because they they trust the money management aspects will carry them through and they accept they warm up to the idea in their hands their perspective it's true price is random using what they believe and they see in price action I submit wholeheartedly that what they're doing and how they view price in those instances are absolutely randomized but not here. That's not how it is here. I want to be in an area where all of the odds are in my favor. I want to be in a market that has all the odds in my favor. I want to be trading a model that's in price action that fits the underlying narrative right now. That's why I have 81 things. Not all of those 81 things are going to agree for a buy or sell at that very moment, but all 81 of them are in the market every single [ __ ] day. Every single day they're there.

This guy's always got an excuse for why. You're [ __ ] right. I do. You're right. I do. Wonderful observation skills you've got there. Absolutely stunning. The [ __ ] obvious, but you don't need to be super mutant level like I was. I I compensated for an extreme weakness. I was afraid I was going to miss the the entries. I built it up in my head that I had to have the perfect entry. So, my skill was honed on looking for perfect entries. That's why I can go in and execute at very precise levels because my whole life was focused on the pursuit of that. Think about it. That's what you're seeing the fruits of. Where's my weakness? My exits. And it'll always be that way. I've I've accepted as a 53-y old man soon to be in August. I've accepted the fact that what I do is still so [ __ ] beyond it the range of normal with everyone else that I'm still light years a stunning in my own eyes. But to all of you, you would love to have a quarter% of what it is I'm doing. And that's okay. That's good. That's a that's a that's a realistic aim.

But if you listen to me, if you really listen to me when I'm teaching and talking like this, I'm helping you get out of your own [ __ ] way. But you don't like the language I'm using. You don't like the fact that I sound like I'm bragging. You choke on all the little details that have no outcome or basis for the outcome that you're aiming for. You're distracting yourself. Why? Because you have a character flaw. You're not you're not able to see value. You're not able to recognize real experience. You're not able to identify truth. And I veil that in a lot of long discussions that are are helpful, but the truth is you're not prepared to endure it. You want it easy. You want it. I'm in front of the charts. It's going to happen for me right now. Nobody's going to teach you better than I have when an opportunity is going to be there. You have never seen a [ __ ] and any time using any discipline that's going to tell you the time the trade's going to form. I was the first one to walk out there and do that [ __ ] I was the first one to do that [ __ ] 1996. This is when your trades form. Look at this range. This this open, high, low, close, because back then that's what it was. It wasn't candles. Go and look at Street Smart's book if you own it. Open up short-term secrets to long-term success or or long-term trading or whatever. Something like I'm probably butchering the [ __ ] out of Larry's book, but you you'll know what I'm talking about. Look at the candles or the open, high, low, and close and view them as a candlestick. None of those authors are making mention of that. But price is going right to them halfway stopping going right down and running to pools of liquidity. And none of those books, not anything in the past was talking about that [ __ ] Not one [ __ ] book was doing it.

But when I was looking at those books, that's what I was seeing. That's when that voice would say, "Look here. Look here. Look here. Look what it did there. pay attention to this. It wasn't a conversation like I'm having with you. It was very short little uncctions, little bit of a sometimes it was my unconscious voice and sometimes it was a voice that I've never heard sound like anything else, but it's always been an encouraging voice. And I I attribute that to the Holy Spirit. That's, you know, I don't care what you believe, but that's that's what I believe. And when I submitted myself to it, it was always right. Now, I'll leave that to you as to what you think it means, but I'm not perfect, but this voice was.

And when I come out and I I I try to encourage you, I want you to know that I wrestled with that same stuff and more. Like, you go to work and you're a functioning employee. I would have anxiety attacks at my jobs. I go to the bathroom. I would pretend I had an upset stomach when I didn't just to go home. I would run from responsibilities. I would hide from responsibilities because I was wrestling with anxiety which turned into gorophobia. And that form of anxiety manifests itself in traders early on and they don't recognize it. They hide it by resetting their account or re resetting their funded account challenges, talking nothing about what they just endured, but making no effort to change what they just endured. They're the problem. I was my problem. How I thought was my core problem. I thought the things I was fearful of and obsessively thinking about what I needed to have right now or I'm not successful or finding success or progressing in the right direction. I allowed those thoughts, those self-defeating thoughts, those questionable outcomes, the whatif thinking, and it's always negative. I let that stuff dictate how I live my life. And I allowed I invited fear to grip me and hold me in a death grip and choke me out every single day. And to the point my whole existence was my bedroom. And I got fearful of even looking at the markets or charts. I had anxiety attacks about putting on what we know as CNBC now. I didn't want to hear what the price was doing. I was having anxiety attacks and I wasn't even in trades anymore. In between accounts that were blown, I'm having anxiety attack about a trade I'm not even in. What if it goes up there and I was right the whole time and I didn't do anything about it? That's next level misery. Like that's let's call it what it is. Like that's misery. And if you don't correct that, even when you do find success, success isn't enough. So you get comfortable with taking stupid risks because the adrenaline rush of doing that compensates for the pain for not accepting the fact that you make bad mistakes or you mess it up in terms of your progress and you second guess yourself.

That's what I think honestly Jesse Livermore did. I think he realized that he just had a flash in the pan run of luck and he was experiencing the [ __ ] in his hands that he couldn't make it work and said, "Fuck it. I can't accept it anymore. I I don't want to go through this pain anymore." And blow his brains out. And you all championed that guy. He suffered from mental illness. I famed a mental illness so that way it's part of my character online. I am not absolutely absolutely not bipolar. I have no mental illness. Some of you that talk that [ __ ] you bought everything I've ever done as a character online. I own you. I'm I should get the Academy [ __ ] award. You believe you believe everything I put out there and showed myself as a character. That's wonderful. Thank you for the compliment. But it's funny how people look at these giants in the industry and they all have character flaws. Huge character flaws, but you champion them. I'm team Gan. I'm team White Cloth. I'm team whatever the [ __ ] anybody else talks about. And you don't know these people. You don't know what they wrestled with. You don't know. Just like nobody should know what you're going through. Don't give them what you what you fear most. Don't put that out there in the ether because the devil's like the the lion that roams the earth seeking whom he may devour. And if you lay down a fear, make it known, you made his job easy. You made his job easy. He don't even need to do that. He could send a minion and torment you. You could be tormented by a spirit of torment and that spirit constantly digs at you and you set a table at your home for it every day and don't even realize it. You set up an altar in your mind worshiping it, giving it homage that, hey, you're right. I'm never going to get this. I'm never going to be successful. I'm Why should I bother? It's normal for me to feel like this. It's normal for me to wake up and feel anxiety. The day I wake up and I don't feel anxious, something's broken. Something's wrong. That's not normal for me not to feel anxious. That's how I lived my life in my 20s and early 30s. Even making money, I live like that. Think about that. That's not healthy, happy living. That's me regretting that I didn't do the right things and change myself sooner and living in yesterday, wishing I did it differently. You can't live like that, folks. You can't live like that and have a healthy outlook on your own progress. You won't rec you won't recognize it.

So, you have to be your best cheerleader. You have to guard yourself from anybody else's influence. Look what the devil does. That's his job. He's the accuser. And you're literally going on social media among devils. Hateful people, they hate their life. They don't want to see anybody succeed. And you're literally putting out there your weaknesses. The things that you struggle with. And you're wondering why things get worse. You regret. I wish I never would have said that. Right. If you just would have listened to me. All of us have fears and what of thinking. Can I be honest with you and share some of them with you about my own? Can I can I do that? Would you be interested in hearing that? Would you be interested in knowing what I'm fearful of? Here's my fear. Okay? And it's not a, you know, soul crushing fear. It's just well it is what it is. I'll tell you it's I spent thousands of hours making the content that I've made to pretty much guarantee if God chose to take me out before the rapture, before I think I'm going to reach a specific age and he just says it's time for you to go. You're done. You're done and you're coming home. If I didn't lay down this compendium of perspective, teaching, logic, not just in the charts, but how you're supposed to think. My fear is that my children will never arrive at what I know they can be. I have what I am is I'm enigma. I am it. I'm the I am it. When you look at price, you're looking at me. And that one cut deep, didn't it? My fear is that none of my kids will fully apply themselves to be more than I am. That's my fear. That I have been given this. I've had the the luxuries and the the pleasures of living off of it, employing it, being the the the the author and face of it all. But that's it. None of my children will do anything with it. That's that's the only fear I have as it relates to trading. And if they never do, well, I mean, it doesn't change how I live, but it is a regretful thing for me because I pour myself into these lectures because again, I'm picturing them at their job. But you think I'm picturing you at your job, I'm picturing them looking at how expensive things are. And even though dad helps them out here and there and buys a couple things extra for their pantry to get them through for the week of the month, I'm wanting them to feel that discomfort. Sure, they can trust that ain't going to let him, you know, go hungry. But I'm letting them feel that discomfort. What if the day comes when dad's not here? That's what I want them to think. I want them to think, you know, I have all of the advantages right now that all of you would love to have time with me. You would love to be able to sit down with me and just pick my brain and say, "What do you think about this and what do you think about that?" And and just really just deep deep dive into whatever you can ask of me. And these are my own children. Do you know not one of my kids ever do that? Now I'll get texts all the time. Dad, what's it mean when the Bible says this or they'll show me a video, you know, is this person right about this man? Which I'm thankful for. I really in terms of priority, I think that's the best. I mean, the my opinion about the word is better than what I think about trading. That's first. You know, they're seeking the kingdom first and then everything else will be added unto them. But as a dad, as as daddy ICT, um, in the in the truest form, it's my children I'm speaking to. And all of this work has been laid down for them to be able to tap into all the time. But my fear is I won't ever see them be who I know they can be, way better than me. Way better. because they didn't fall victim to the problems that I put myself through. And they had all the advantages of being my children. And I'm not going to hold back anything from them. Ask yourself why they don't take advantage of it because I tried to figure it out myself. I don't know. I like to believe because they're, you know, four boys, they each of them have been wanting it for free where no work has been given to them. They all have had this look in their eye like they know that that is going to break off millions and millions of dollars and just here it is. You don't have to work. You don't have to do anything. And I told them and my oldest told me I was a piece of [ __ ] dad and I'm the worst dad in the world when I first told him I wasn't just going to lay it in his hands like that because I saw the efforts of me doing things like that younger and he went a different direction. He now doesn't think that way and he's appreciative of it and he actually does really good in his own efforts. He's not super rich, but he's successful at what he does and he loves what he's doing. So, he has a little bit of an entrepreneurial spirit. He wants me to give him signals. I'm not going to do that. Sorry, Cody. You have to do real work. But all of them had, even my daughter, she's like, "Well, do we have a will set up?" So, just like a woman, right? Going after the money. I know ladies, that that was just a joke. Don't don't come at me. But they all had this expectation that dad's just going to lead this for them. And I have been spending my entire life laying down breadcrumbs and and maybe it won't be my kids. Maybe it'll be one of my grandkids that may or may not be ever known by me. So if you're if you're listening to this in the future, you know, pop will be, you know, proud proud to see it. But I that's the only fear I have. I don't have any other fear. not when it not related to the markets or trading or the perceptions of others.

Now, I could very easily and I I have honestly entertained this idea a few times with Caleb and Cameron. I was like, "Look, um I could have a lot of fun with this and you can make a lot of money if you step out there, okay? I'm sitting next to you. You're doing what I'm doing, but you're gonna call it like you're doing it. Let me tell you something. A lot of you smart [ __ ] would have figured out right away if I did that. That it's just dad doing it. But you won't want to say it because that proves that I know what I'm talking about. So, it kind of cancelled the whole argument against ICT because his son now doing it. He's doing what ICT wouldn't do. So, he's he's better. He's given the stop-loss and the target and everything. and all of you would flock to his channel or whatever service he would be offering whatever whatever the [ __ ] would happen. You all would pour in your attention there and blow smoke up his ass and build a pedestal to place him on and he'd be a [ __ ] hero. And I'd say, "Look, see how easy it is." And I could entice them to do that. And both of those boys were willing to do it. So what did that teach dad? They want the shortcut. And that broke my heart because I wanted them to say, "No, Dad. I want to do this on my own. I don't want you doing it for me behind the scenes because I could do that for them just like that and give them a false image if I was a con artist. If I was a piece of [ __ ] and you'd all believe it. You would all believe that that was them doing all that stuff." No. Well, I guess not all of you. Some some of you would realize that, okay, this guy really knows what he's doing. I was wrong, but I'm going to have to call [ __ ] on it and say it's Michael doing the trading. I had to fix Cameron when he when he did his top stuff just to get his money out of it. And I told him, I said, "I'm not getting you profits. I'm just getting your money out." And I told him what to do and he got out of it. That's the only reason why you saw his name on the leaderboard up there. It was me fixing it for him because he was trying to do straight shortcuts, not doing it the right way, not wanting to learn. He wanted dad to do it. If that's all there was, I could just simply say, "Hey, here look, let me put an account together, set up a family management company, LLC, and the profits that come from the trading, all of you draw a salary from, and you don't have to have a job." That's easy. And all of you can do that, too. Once you learn how to do this, you can set it up for your children. If you decide to do that, if you don't think about it the same way I think about it, you'll be like, "I don't give a [ __ ] They're my kids. I'm going to give them everything they want. Treat them like Kardashians." Sure, you can do that. Let them draw a salary from it. It's It's called a family management LLC. Talk to your accountants. They'll help you with that if they know what they're talking about. And you can set that up through your trading. You can run a trading account as an LLC that they draw a salary from. So some other opportunities right there too. But you you sell yourself short because you think the short-term adversities right now not realizing what is laid in front of you as opportunities. What happens? What happens if you never really get good at trading? You're marginally profitable, but you are a welcomed spirit for live streaming and you only make your money from affiliate marketing. Is that bad? No, I don't have a problem with that. There's a lot of people that have yet to really proven themselves as good traders, but they have a very encouraging spirit. Very encouraging, fun to be around. It's like the guy you go hang out with at the at the bar. You You see him all the time. He's friendly. He never gives you any [ __ ] It's just fun to talk to. You don't expect a guy to make a million dollars a year. You don't expect him to smoke up your ass. You just know he's a good person to talk to. And you feel good hanging out. You don't feel like you're being talked down to, and you don't feel like you're not good enough. There's a lot of personalities in the world right now that are live streamers that way right now, and they just they just get by.

On that basis alone. And some of these people I like. I think they're generally nice people. Are they superstars in trading? No. Do they claim to be superstars in trading? No. So, they stay in their lane. So, it doesn't bring any kind of real drama to them.

But what happens? What happens if you find yourself in this and you fix all of the core tenants that make you a terrible [ __ ] person? Because all of us have those traits. I don't give a [ __ ] what you say. We all fall in short. We all mess up. We all have character flaws. It doesn't matter how good you are at hiding them or pretending they don't exist. We all have them.

But what happens if you use this as a medium to fix all that? And then all these opportunities open up to you where you, hey, look, you don't think you have the personality to be a podcaster. You don't think you have the personality to be a live streamer. You don't think you have the potential to be a teacher, or a mentor that can prove they can do it. So therefore, they have the authority to be teaching at all. The doors open up. The floodgates open up and the money can come flowing in like you've never imagined.

And when you find big income coming in like that, you know what that does? It frees you up to not worry about what your trades panning out profitably. So then what does it does? What does it do? It gives you objectivity that you'd never had before because you don't have the fear of your trades failing on the basis of defining your success. That's the reason why I tell my students to do these types of things if you're comfortable doing it because what it'll unlock in you is a level of confidence.

I'll tap into Patrick Wheeling once more. I I I I've said these things publicly and I've also said them in private. I don't talk to him in email anymore since he sent me the picture, those balls. I've locked his email address. I don't want to ever see anything like that ever again. But the point is this. I said openly that if he makes certain changes and he pursues this direction or that direction and uses these types of things, it will help him be a better trader. And you have watched him find himself. He wasn't trading as well as you see him doing a couple years ago. That's a progress. And I love the fact that he comes out and sometimes and says, "Look, I mean, I messed it up. I messed it up." And he makes no excuses and just says, "It was my mistake. I own it and it is what it is."

And some of you [ __ ] love to throw gasoline on the fire. And I see him take it to heart. It bothers him. That's a weakness. But that's a weakness that can be capitalized on because that doesn't go away. That doesn't matter how much money you make, that stuff doesn't go away. He has a deep-rooted desire to prove something. Not to us, not to him. There's somebody in his head that he's proving every single day. He's doing this some thing that he's doing every day. This pursuit of success, the amount of money he makes, what he can buy, what he's able to do, who he's with, how long he's having sex, and how many times a day he's having sex. All these things are to prove something to some particular person in his head. We may never know who that is, but he knows I'm what I'm saying right now. I'm nailing it. I'm over to Target right now. But he's doing all the right things except for spending his money like he is that that's the only thing I would change Pat. I mean that that right there that that shouldn't happen yet. You've all right now he should dial if he was smart and I'm not saying he is or isn't. I'm just saying if he's smart what he would do right now would be change character 180 degrees and say you know what I'm not going to flash anything in front of you anymore. I'm going to make it all about the trading and I promise he would go light years faster and be beyond what he's doing right now.

He makes a lot of money in affiliate and he's openly openly shared that. But what I think he's and he's recently tapped into the truth of it is because he makes that kind of money outside of his trades, he can afford to just be wrong. Because let's just say he goes out there and he blows all his accounts. This is for anyone, okay, that's in the influencer role. All of you know because you've had payouts, you've proven you've received, you know, payouts in these companies that you trade through, you have that to fall back on and people can think, well, you know, even if you blow out, you can do it because you did it before. So, it kind of gives you a a reassurance that no one can really roast you on the public because you've proven you've made money. Doesn't matter if you blow an account. Okay. Um, when you make a lot of money outside of trading, it gives you that second level of confidence that you don't really feel as a job employee holder. You know, I said that backwards, an employee or a job holder, someone that goes to a nine-to-five. That's not the same level of I don't give a [ __ ] of the outcome. That's like when I lose the money, I'm still stuck working with Carl and that's self-defeating. Whereas, if you lose your accounts and you blow your account in trading, but you have a nice income coming from affiliate marketing, a broker uh arrangement or whatever it is, some you're repping some kind of a um trade zeala. Um yeah, I don't know. I mean, I I just know there's things out there that people use and market and I don't have a problem with it. If it's a good service, then well, you know, it is what it is.

But that type of thing, I encourage that because you're always in the beginning, you're going to be fearful of the outcome of the trade and what if I don't make money trading. What happens if you follow these instructions and these advices that I'm giving you and you dabble with live streaming and you get an audience that loves to be around you. They don't expect you to burn down the house every day and make lots and lots of money. You're just fun to be around. You encourage them. You you feel like you're one of them because you're doing the same thing. You're finding your way through it. See, that's the part that I love about Patrick because he was doing that in front of all of you. He still is. He's still finding himself. He throws it at the audience for you to hate him, but then he also gives you those things that you can just look at and say, you know what, he earned that. He He earned You can say what the [ __ ] you want to say, but he earned that there. His presentation needs to be refined a little bit, but he has enough character in him that it's he's he's a one-man show. He doesn't need all the other stuff he's got going on. I think he's actually spending too much money uselessly. The whole BDH thing, you know, he he can put a whole lot of money into that and I don't think it's going to yield what he wants it to do. He's having fun with it, but I don't think it's going to yield anything beyond his personal, you know, I enjoy doing this part of it, having people come down here, and that's great. But if he streamlined what he's spending and then changed gears and went right to now, I'm just going to be the trader because this is what I I I took this much money from the prop firms. I did this, this, this. If he focuses and he does what he intends to do is try to make the single most largest uh payout on one account, that'll be awesome. I want to see him do it.

I've never spoken down to him. I I never speak down to any of you and I always encourage all of you, even the people that don't like me. I love seeing that. I love seeing that. Who doesn't like to [ __ ] see you're a dick? You're an [ __ ] if you don't like to see other people succeed and you're a miserable piece of [ __ ] I love seeing it. And I think because he has that that crutch, and I don't mean that as a bad way. It's a wonderful thing to have. Multiple streams of income many times are the secret weapon to why certain traders are so good because they're not afraid of losing anymore. And not everybody has those opportunities in the beginning. Like, well, here's a perfect example. Tanya, she was on Kit's Roundups and if you go back and listen to how she spoke then, she would have sometimes a shaky voice. You could hear she wasn't confident as much as she is today on how she was speaking about herself or what she was trying to learn how to do. And when she would admit that it was hard and she was going through some some stuff just like all of us and then you look at her today and she's she's still finding herself, but she's out there. You could see her when she did her face reveal. I was like, "What in the hell? That's my daughter." And for the people that think that that's my daughter, she's not biologically my daughter, but she reminds me so much of her. And if you saw a picture, you would be like, "What the hell? That's crazy."

But long story short, she has a very welcoming spirit. Even if she didn't trade, she's disarming. She doesn't make you feel like, "Oh [ __ ] she's trying to talk down to me." And she's pleasant to listen to. She refines that a little bit more. She'll be one of those. Yeah, she's she knows exactly what she's she'll be like a Linda Rashki. You don't see a Linda Rashki as like bombastic like a Patrick Wheeling or an ICT or something crazy that's over the top. It's a steady edge of this is what you're going to get from them and they're consistent. That's what I see in Tanya. She has fun with her audience and does some some stuff every now and then, but I see that in her. I have people that are students that are coming out that are really really well well-versed in trading. They know exactly what they're doing and they're trying to be something that they're not. And I'm just I'm not going to be the one to tell them that. They'll know for themselves when they start trying to do these things.

But when you step out there, once you have the skill, you can get money from live streaming. You don't have to call the trades. Just trade. Just trade. Let the audience watch and there it is. Put your disclaimers up in the beginning and periodically throughout the uh presentation. Remind them that there's real risk and not to copy you and just do what you do and people will flock to you. They'll watch you. You don't need to have the comment section open. You don't have the chat window open. None of that stuff. If you know what you're doing, people are going to come there. And the money you make from that will help offset the need for your trades to be profitable in the beginning. Even if you're putting yourself out there as I'm trying to discover myself, dozens of you tried to do that over the last year. Some of you hasn't they haven't really found your your rhythm yet. Some of you have grown and you're finding that, hey, wow, this helps me. This helps me pay a little bit of bills around my house. So that means it I don't fear losing this account now because I have a little bit of income coming in from this little marginal stream of income that's done by live streaming and I would be doing this stuff anyway and that becomes another stream of income and while you're improving and then when you get better people that have watched you come up figure them like like we watched you develop in in the in the public eye and now look at what you're able to do now and they have a proverbial blank check, then anything they tap into is going to make them money. Everybody will want to go and link up with them. They will offer them affiliates. They won't ask for affiliates. It will be offered to them.

I turn down advertisements for people broadcasting dumb [ __ ]. How much will you let us do for a 60-second ad? How much would you charge for a 30-second ad? How much would you charge for a fif a 15-second ad? How much would you charge us to let us put our company logo just in the corner of your video? I get this [ __ ] every week. Every week. I could be making money just like that and never even do anything beyond that. I get requests constantly to go on teaching circuits globally, statewide. I'm not a globe trotter. I'm first I'm not going to get on an airplane or say that kills that deal real quick. And two, I don't want I don't want to be in that. I don't want to do that. If I wanted to do that, I would do that myself. I would do my own teaching circuits and go around in public and do that. I don't have the personality to do that. I don't have that personality. You think I have that personality cuz I'm so extroverted in the presentations like this, but you know, personally side by side, I'm an introvert. You'll see it in October. I'm not like this. I'm not like this at all. And some of you going to be visually shocked in what I look like physically because what you think I look like, it ain't like that. You know, fat boys are here.

So, I want you to think about how there's absolutely something new under the sun. Every day you're presented an opportunity proving that very thing. And there's a lot of things around you that are distractions. They're going to tell you this isn't for you. It isn't what it really is. It's a lie. It's a facade. This person's a fake. This person isn't really doing anything. This person doesn't have a verified record. This person doesn't do that. What are you seeing? Cancel all that noise for just a couple seconds and think, what are you witnessing here? Are you seeing something outlined before it happens? Is it sporadic when it comes to fruition or is it happening consistently? Is it following the logic that these concepts outline? If you're going to be honest, it's the latter. There's nothing fake about this. It's absolutely 100% grade-A perfection. No [ __ ] here. I stripped it down. Took you right into the charts this year. Said, "Here it is." Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. How much am I talking in Telegram? It's just here it is. There it is. Done. I could always have been doing it that way. But I wanted you to earn it. I wanted you to work for it.

I know that my stuff's the best. I had always known that I could come out here and make a pamphlet in a PDF format and tell you, "Do this, do this, do this. Don't do this. Do this. Do this. Don't do that. Do this. Do this. Do that. At this time, look for this. If it doesn't do it by this time, don't do anything at all. This is what you do. This is where your stop loss is. This is where your target is. And do this only." And you're quitting your [ __ ] job in 90 days. I can do that. But that same recipe would be on [ __ ] Amazon. It would be in the number one bestsellers list on the New York uh bestsellers list by other people that don't mention my name. I won't do that. I won't do it. That's why you you people that say, "Hey, you talk too much. This could have been done in five minutes." Okay, do it in five minutes. You're never learning anything from that. It's demonstrating toys. There was a meme my my wife showed me. Not my wife. Uh Caleb was over here last week. He goes, "Look at this. This Asian lady, she's opening stuff up, showing it real flashed up, and it goes to the next thing." I said, "What the [ __ ] is that?" Oh, she's uh she's getting paid to to market uh these these these items. I'm like, "She's getting paid to do that? The [ __ ] You need to pay me for looking at this [ __ ]. Like, I need to get paid to look at this. What the hell is she even doing? How? There's nothing I I can't even remember what the hell I saw, let alone when I'm buy it. That's the equivalent of I'm watched every V ICT video in existence so that way you don't have to. And I'm going to show you every ICT concept in 20 minutes and you leave not knowing [ __ ]. They demonstrate hindsight. This is what ICT stuff does here. Okay. Now, what time is it going to happen? When will it fail? So that way you can focus on when it will work and when it won't work. You can just sit out and don't look for it. You're not getting that five. You're not getting that in five-minute trainer. You're not going to get that in a verbatim regurgitated parried video where it takes away from all the problems that you're going to feel when you're trying to employ these concepts.

That's why the presentations like these are long because I'm I'm taking three decades of experience and answering the questions. If you want a very simple one, two, three ABC response to questions that require leaning on experience. I have seen enough times where a fair value gap, even if it's the first weekly fair value gap of the day, it should be going into it, it should be used as something that's bullish, some kind of a discount array, and it [ __ ] doesn't do it. It just goes other direction. That's manual intervention. I don't know when that's going to happen all the time. That's where I'm going to be a victim just like you will. But I'm not going to throw everything out the out the window and say, "Fuck this. It's all useless now." I take a break. I wait an hour and then what I do is I look for does everything get back in line after 60 minutes and if it's still [ __ ] you goofy then I take another 60 minutes away and if it leads me into the lunch hours then I'm going to look for a run against what just took place. I'm not surprised man. I'm not surprised. I'm not scared. I'm not worried about them doing something to [ __ ] me up. Okay. I can lose money on a seek and destroy day but then come back. I teach you once you recognize it, you stop and then tape read the rest of the day and see how good it was for you to avoid the the further losses and develop discipline over yourself. Be responsible because that money the broker's not going to feel sorry if you say, "You know what? You know, we knew you should have stopped 16 trades ago, but uh you know, we we didn't have it on our heart to tell you, but now we do. 30 trades in into the day. um you're just going in here going on tilt and let let's just look we're going to do a reset and uh we're just going to keep the commissions but we're going to give you all the realized losses back because you deserve it. You know, you're a nice guy. You've been with us for longer than 60 days. You beat all the statistics right now. So, we're we're rooting for you, buddy. Here here we're going to make it all make it all better for you. It doesn't work like you like that.

And then when you see these prop friends, we're going to do a reset. We're going to fix everything. You know, that's not realistic. Just like the rules that they place on you trying to find profitability are realistic. They're not. They're making it more harder than it needs to be. Which means what? You're going to feel even more adversity, more fear, more hardship, more so than it would be if you were just placing your own money, even if it's a small amount of money, into a live account and trade one microl lot. It only costs 30 bucks or thereabouts to do one micro to have that in your account to do one micro. I'm not saying that that's all you should have. But there's better ways to do this folks than these prop firm companies. There's absolutely better ways to do it and you will be so much better for doing it that way. Don't be afraid or ashamed that you're starting with a shoestring budget. But don't even sh start start with a shoestring budget unless you have done copious amounts of back testing, tape reading, and then demo trading using the same procedures and and logic. It doesn't mean we throw out everything out the window because now we're trading with a real account. Yeah, this trade is only supposed to be 25 handles for me because that's my model. you know, I'm I'm going to go and and trade three micro contracts because I can afford to do so and I want a big bigger payout. I want to be able to make more. And so, I'm going to try to aim for the entire morning range, not just where it makes sense getting in here and getting out the first pool of liquidity or inefficiency, which is the low hanging fruit objective I try to teach you. You have to be able to do that consistently. If you can't hit consistently every [ __ ] day, every day the lowest hanging fruit objective in liquidity, if you can't do that consistently every single day, you have no reason for ever going above one microl lot. And if you didn't pay attention, go back and listen to that again. You should not have any leverage at all unless you're able to absolutely every single day identify the low-hanging fruit objective or the next draw in liquidity. At the opening bell at 9:30, what pool of liquidity is you going to aim for? Which is the reason I spent so much time that being the number one teaching knowing where the draw liquidity is. Where is it going? Why should it get there? And then narrative is how will it get there? What will it upset and take out before it gets there? It doesn't mean this is going to be straight open, go right up to the target. Do you think it's going to be bullish? You have to have time seeing these things and seeing when it fails in your own hands and then identifying these markers within your character, your personality that's going to cause you to go on tilt. I don't give a [ __ ] how many times you watch or listen to Mark Wilson. Why am I doubting that name? Mark Wilson. Is his name Mark Wilson? Trading in his own Mark Douglas. Who the [ __ ] is Mark Wilson? Somebody's going to Why you beat me up? I ain't doing anything to you. Sit down, Mr. Wilson, when I'm talking to you. That you that book doesn't touch the It doesn't scratch the surface. It doesn't even scratch the surface of what you're going to have as a real Hang on. One of my perimeter alarms are going off. I forgot to turn them off when I come out of the bedroom this morning. Come around my [ __ ] house. Paparazzi [ __ ]. I know you're here. Hang on one sec. There you go. The uh that's something I would have edited out if it was on YouTube, though.

Your journal, your history, your your progress, your development. You want to pour every aspect of detailing everything you go through, how you think, how you feel, what were your greatest achievements for today, for this week, for this past month. What do you hope to aspire to reach as a target? What's your goal? And they have to be measurable, not I want to make uh $10,000 this month. That's not enough. How are you trying to make that $10,000? Are you trying to do it with five trades a day? Are you trying to do five trades per week? It has to be defined and detailed. It can't be willy-nilly whatever and how it comes. No, that's the same people that tell you, well, you can, you know, when you're trading, we're not, your job is not to predict price. Your your job is to react to price. No, that's [ __ ]. That's [ __ ] Virginia. That's what the reason number one all these people fail because they go into it like that. Your job is not to predict price. It's to react to it. If you're always reacting to price, you're chasing price. You're a victim to manipulation. You can't see anything happening before it happens. See, when your trade is accurate and you hold that mentality,

What are you attributing its success to? Because the target you reached for, weren't you [ __ ] trying to predict it going there anyway?

Do you see the [ __ ] that comes out of these people's minds? Like, they literally talk out their ass. And none of the stuff that they say makes any bit of [ __ ] sense. You have to react to price, and your job is not predicting price. Then how the [ __ ] are you supposed to know where you're aiming for and re-and manage the risk? You're not going to enter a long position unless you [ __ ] believe it's going to go higher. If you're not doing it that way, what the [ __ ] are you doing? What is that? That's [ __ ] insanity. Yeah, I'm gonna try to make money going down. I think it's going to go up there, but I'm gonna go short. The [ __ ] is that? That's the equivalent of basically what they're saying. They don't believe in predicting price. And you know what that gives them? And anyone that subscribes to that view, you know what that does? And I'm going to call this is all [ __ ] All the [ __ ] stops here. They're making an allowance for them sucking as a [ __ ] trader. They're making a wonderful allowance, a perfect excuse clause for why they can't accurately tell you where the market's going to go. Because if they're a public figure, that's what's that's well, that's the that's the that's the bar that's been leveled up to. Now, you have to be able to call the market. You got to be able to consistently tell us where it's going or don't talk to us. Don't talk to me unless you know what the [ __ ] you're talking about.

As soon as you start talking about price is random or our job is to react to price and it's not to predict price, you have already completely lost me, not because you lost me in the logic and now you're you're proving superiority. You're proving that you have [ __ ] no idea what you're doing. You have no idea what you're doing if you subscribe to that view. Because when we walk out here and we look at the same price chart, we know exactly what the [ __ ] going on. Those relative equal lows. When the market's long-term bearish time of day, wait for the first fair value gap, wait for it to trade down through it, come back up. If it respects the upper half, doesn't go back into it, take the first fair value gap on a lower time frame, sub one minute, write it into that pool liquidity you have right there. Just like that. Just like that. You can write that on the back of a business card. That's your entire [ __ ] model. Never risk more than 1%, and you're quitting your [ __ ] job. If you save money, don't act stupid. You're quitting your job far sooner than anything else. You'll never need to look for anything else that I ever teach on. That's easy. That's always there every [ __ ] day. That's there every day. An everyday model. You see the my forever model. This is my forever model. How about give me my every hour model. This is my every [ __ ] 60-minute model. I just gave it to you. I just gave it to you. First presented fair value gap of the 60-minute. Oh my goodness. You're telling me? Yep. Yep. That's why Robins is nothing. That's why all these [ __ ] are scared to come out here and do anything. They know I can do it. They don't want to. They don't want to suffer the embarrassment of the demo baller showing them up. But they think I'm gonna buy into this [ __ ] and feel like what am I gonna do? Nobody's going to believe me unless I do this when everything I've ever done gets [ __ ] largely ignored by the same group. So I don't need to listen to this [ __ ] I just find it funny that nobody can prove anything better. Nobody can call it better. Nobody can execute better. Nobody can get in and out as good and this consistent. But they all have words that talk about why you shouldn't learn, why you shouldn't be here. You don't see that as the enemy. Like, you don't see that? I'm taking nothing from you. Nothing. And I have every right to demand it. I don't have to give you my time for free. I could be behind a pay wall and saying, "You're only going to hear me if you paid for it, or you pay the person that's leaking it for $5." Yeah. But I'm not because I'm giving you no excuse. You can't come back to me later on and say, "Man, you didn't give me a fair chance at this. You hid it from me." No, I didn't. I gave it to the whole public for free. And I find it still fascinating that such a large degree of people still fight it. They ignore it. They say no. And when you sit down with them, they don't show you that they put any real effort into it because they expected it to be a very short video that explains how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Well, listen, everybody knows how to make a peanut butter jelly sandwich. Everybody knows how to do that. But what's different about when your grandom or your mom made it? Somehow that [ __ ] tastes better. It's the same [ __ ] ingredients, the same [ __ ] loaf of bread that you just made yesterday. But you're like, "This this I'm so sick and tired of peanut butter and jelly. What the [ __ ] But let grandom or your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, whatever, let them slap that [ __ ] on them two pieces of bread, throw it on a [ __ ] paper plate, and if you're lucky, get a paper towel." And when you're eating that, you're like, "What the hell is going on here? What did you do to this?" Like this is [ __ ] remarkable. You did something to this. What did you do? They cared. They cared. Why did my grandma's peanut butter jelly sandwich taste better than mine? Cuz when she spread the peanut butter and the jelly, she made sure every bit of the surface of the bread was covered. When you make a peanut butter jelly sandwich, you're making a peanut butter jelly sandwich because you're [ __ ] hungry and you ain't got time to be making anything else. So, what are you doing? You're just taking a knife, slapping it on here, slapping it on there. Who gives a [ __ ] There's enough on there. It'll be part of the bite I take it. So, I'm going to eat it in four bites anyway. So, what is what is going on there? She cared about you getting the very best from what she had to work with. That's love. You you using the same ingredients, same [ __ ] recipe. Nothing's different, same butter knife, same paper plate, same expiration date on the peanut butter and the jelly, which are [ __ ] They last longer than that. You slap it on real quick just so you can give yourself immediate gratification. Hunger pains. Make them go away. Well, that's what you're expecting of me. You're expecting me to give you a peanut butter jelly sandwich in a trading model like you give yourself every day. Give it to me right now. Give it to me right now. This is how I do things in my world. Yeah. Ask backwards, rushing it, expecting everybody to bow to your [ __ ] win. But I'm making it like grandom. I'm making it like grandom dud. I'm spreading it out perfectly, making sure all the nooks and crannies get the even distribution of the peanut butter and jelly. That's why it tastes good when I'm teaching it. And everybody else is like, "Listen, man. I came here with high hopes that you're going to try to make it easier and faster, but I'm just not getting it, bro." And you come back and you're leaving comments in my section. I've been trying to other people, man. Great. They're just selling you an engagement. I'm teaching you because the expectation is my children are listening to these conversations and I want them to succeed. You think I'm going to give my kids some [ __ ] I'm not going to give them false logic. I'm not going to give them [ __ ] that ain't going to make money, but even my concepts with the wrong mentality placed around them won't yield the results that they would want. You have to think about things differently. You have to see how our character flaws, our immediate gratification desires, this this pursuit of give me what I want and want right now and it's already two weeks late. Whatever it is, whether it be trading profits, success, understanding what to do, our job promotions, recognition among our peers, the girl I've been putting so much effort into, she should have been wanting to go out with me by now or vice versa. We have unrealistic expectations, and if you try to bring that into trading or your development as a trader, you're going to be frustrated, and that frustration will manifest itself. And the only thing that usually occurs in that regard is that we end up trying to trade more frequently with larger leverage and opportunities that really aren't there because we're seeking comfort outside of the discomfort that we're experiencing. Has nothing to do with trading. that me because I worked through a long period of that and I'm thankful the Lord took that away from me. I'm thankful that he took that part that I struggled with away where I no longer look to impress people that did not really care and the last thing they wanted to see was me to succeed. And when I identified that, when I saw that, I no longer cared to pursue everything I was doing as the outcome to prove that point to them. And I realized that my anxiety that I was going through was because I was trying to live up to everybody else's expectation of me. And they didn't give a [ __ ] about me. They were all holding me back. And they don't I don't think they all understood that they were doing it, but they were doing it. They didn't want to see me succeed. They didn't want to see me retire at 40. They didn't want to see me drive in exotic cars, go on vacations at the drop of a hat, whatever I wanted to go. And I didn't look at price tags. They didn't want to see me throw away $600 shoes, $300 shoes because I got dirt on them. Just buy another pair. Just buy another pair. We're talking about 1990s, not just recently. I was spending that kind of money on shoes back then. And my uncle gave me some [ __ ] about it. You threw those shoes away just cuz you got dirt on. You could have got them clean. Yeah, I could have. But it's easier just to give just buy another pair. The look on his face that I'll never forget it. Like what a [ __ ] waste. You see it as a waste, but to me it was nothing. It's It was nothing. That was like one contract stop loss on the S&P. I was nothing. All of you have the ability to be better than me sooner than I was. All of you have that. All of you have that advantage. You all have the the luxuries of me explaining how I [ __ ] around and made it longer than it had to be. because you don't want to listen to those lessons. You want to hear, "Give me the new shiny object you have right now. Give me the new PDA that's better than everything else because I want to talk about that. I want to add that to my mentorship. I want to talk about that in a book I'm trying to write. I want to make posts about that and pretend I know what I'm talking about." I see it in my own community. I don't think I don't see that. I see a lot of pretenders, okay? And I don't like that. I don't like when you say, "Oh, I got the same trade as you, boss." Unless you show the execution, you didn't have the same trait. So, why even say that? Because you want to feel a connection between us. And I'm not going to fake that by giving you a like or high five because I'm rewarding your [ __ ] I'm teaching you to cut the [ __ ] out. I'm not that special that you have to have a high five from me every day or a reaction from me. Yeah. They went in the other area. I got to turn that one off. You probably can't hear, but it's a it's a perimeter alarm again. These are the times I wish my house was small. Takes a little bit longer here. Hold on.

Listen, this guy is full of [ __ ] man. He's so arrogant. But you have uh an unlimited amount of opportunities once you learn how to do this. You could be an analyst and never take any trades. If you prove yourself strong, you can literally be picked up by a real prop firm, a real brokerage firm. A large institutional firm. I've had requests from large firms that you would know very very easily if I would coach a lot of those individuals that are already there in those positions. Make that make sense. Make that make sense. Yeah. They've watched how I handle myself over the years. They see that I don't name drop. And a lot of a lot of big names are in my group. You would know them readily, but I don't name drop. There was a privacy notice. I can't tell you who's in there until they make themselves public. Once they make themselves public, they say they're ICT charter member, then I then it is what it is. I I usually screenshot it and capture the link of wherever they made that reference and then if I ever talk about him, I have that to fall back on. But I have never violated anybody's privacy at all. I meant it. It's in it's I wouldn't want it done to me. But you have so so many opportunities once you pick this skill up. Let's say, let's say you learn how to do this really, really well and you don't want to be a live streamer, but you're very, very consistent. You can do a signal service. That is the fastest money you have ever seen. That's immediate right now money. That is I'm broke. I need [ __ ] to change real fast right now and you know there's an opportunity for me to buy this house. I don't have the funds that to meet that. Well, if you have this skill, you can open up shop in 30 days. Have six figures falling in your hands real fast. Real [ __ ] fast. With this skill, you're not afraid to show it. When you know how to do this in your own hands, you don't need any ICT plugins. No attabs. No, here ICT's told me this, so I'm going to I'm going to feel confident. See, that's that's what you're going to feel in June. You're going to you're going to feel that that void of man, I don't feel confident. When ICT talks about I'm confident, it's like, oh [ __ ] this is this is a no-brainer. If you're not in trades that are linked to that that draw in liquidity, you're going to feel like uh I second guess everything. But then in the last few months, you're part of trades that you feel confident because I've come out publicly and said this is where the market's going to go. And normal instances where where I haven't mentioned it in the public eye where I think the market's going to go, you may have taken that same trade, but every fluctuation that moves against you feels like it's going to run on you, doesn't it? Be if you're honest right now, post to me a number one. There's no shame in that. If you've if you've ever felt when I didn't call the market when I didn't call where the market's going to go and you got in that trade, you feel every little fluctuation that's moving against you feels like it's probably going to run against me. It's going to be a losing trade and you over analyze every individual candlestick. But the ones I've come out publicly and you're trading in nose, you're never worrying about the little draw downs. You're thinking, "Oh, well, you know, ICT called that. So now it's just going back down to that order block." That's exactly why I prove to you by being your spotter that is what you're supposed to do. you selft talk. The only thing that's changed is because I've placed my reputation in front of everybody saying this is what I believe the market's going to do. And if there were two million people following me and I say that number because all the comments that are left predominantly are people that are not following me. So add up what's following me plus that it's I got over two million followers. This way of teaching gives you that perspective where you have to self-reflect. You have to encourage yourself. And if you feed yourself with, man, it's going to stop me. [ __ ] I know it's going to stop me. I should have never move. I shouldn't have moved my stop. Shouldn't have moved my stop. This is [ __ ] They're going to stop me. And you're What are you doing? You're not trading your setup. You're not even filing orderflow anymore. you're preparing yourself for something that may not even happen, which is being stopped out, which is 180 degrees against what I teach, which is while you're in a trade, whether you're tape reading, whether you're demonstrating, whether you're using it with a live trade, your task is where are we at right now on this candlestick? And how does it relate to what has already happened? Is it still following the logic that would pres present the likelihood of this trade going to where you said it was going to go? If it's going down, where's the short-term low that it gets take stops out and then as soon as it does it, does it quickly run away or does it spend time below that low? If it's if you're long, that's probably more of a a reason to get out of the trade or cut some of the trade off. But if it goes down below a short-term low, that doesn't mean [ __ ] Except for it's probably a time where we can add to it by me giving you the draw in advance. I'm lending you my experience, but there's a great deal of effort that's required beyond that in your own hands. And a lot of you don't want to go through that. You're doing everything to avoid that. And there's going to be a time while you're doing it. Initially, you're going to feel like you're floundering. It's going to feel like you don't know what you're doing. It feels like it's not going to work in your hands until it starts. What's the separator? What's the divider there? The aspect of showing up every day and desensitizing yourself saying, "Okay, yeah, I felt like that yesterday, but I don't feel it that way today, and look at it worked in my hands." And you're going to go in the next day feeling like, "See, I have a good perspective. I I have a good outlook on this." And then it's not going to work well in your hands again. And you're going to lean on the previous day because you journaled it. You came into the day believing that this model is going to yield itself to you. You're going to follow the rules and it gave it to you. And then the next day you went in tried to do it again. It didn't yield it to you. So you encourage yourself with it worked the day before. This is the day I did something wrong. I don't know exactly what it is. I'll wait till the day closes and I'll have the benefit of hindsight to see what it is I missed. You see how liberating that is? But some of you simply want to avoid that aspect of growth which is required. You can't escape that. There is nobody out there who's going to help you get around that. There is no one. I promise you, I swear to God almighty, if there was somebody that could do that, I would say gladly, this person teaches you how to get around that and circumvent that whole aspect and requirement that I tell you is there. But they beat the system. They did it better. Even if they charge a lot of money, do it. Go through that because they've done it. There's nobody that's going to ever take that away. That's experience. There's no shortcut to that. You can't buy experience. You can't borrow it and refer to it as your own. You can borrow it and be comforted by having more experience lend to you by someone that's been done been doing it longer than you, but even then in the reality is you're just going along for the ride. And I don't do a lot of that stuff because I don't want you codependent. And codependency is worse than anything because when you start when you try to do it on your own after spending time with someone that knows how to do it really well, you're forced to look at things from a different perspective when it's no different. It's just now you don't have that assurity that you placed this affinity, this trust factor in my experience doing it. I'm more right than I'm wrong. So therefore, if I say it and I'm going to go out in public and say it, that means that you have all the reasons not to trust it anymore or not to not trust it, let's say it that way, because you believe in the historical record of me calling it beforehand, it pans out. Whereas it's no different that you arriving that same outcome if you would have back tested for a couple months and then tape readed for a couple months and then demonstrated for a couple months. And that's the six m that's the six months minimum I was talking about. If you do that, that's the work. And if you're not consistently profitable in demo, why the [ __ ] would you go to a a funded account or a real account? And some of you think that something magical is going to happen. Well, I really don't have any results to show after two months of demo trading. And I don't really have any back testing because I didn't want to back test. And I don't have any journal entries because I think journaling is a waste of time. Um, so yeah, I should probably be profitable now when I start doing it with real money. I put enough time into it after all. Right? And that's the dumb [ __ ] that people do. And then they'll see they'll send emails to me. Every mentorship intake, I had this. Every mentorship intake, I had this. And as soon as I said, "Show me your last three months focus in your journal, what you were looking at, because I knew they weren't going to have three months of journaling done in in in a day." And if I gave them a full day of response time, and I told them, "Show me what you did for two months in tape reading it. which markets what was you looking at? What was your observations and annotations? And then show me what your trades were for the next two months of demo trading using the logic that I taught you. Not one of them that ever complained to me and said that they did the work could ever produce that. Not one [ __ ] ever was able to produce that. That complained and said they were not learning it and I was hiding things from them. That's the reality, folks. It's not going to fall into your lap. Just because I'm the [ __ ] golden goose that never runs out of [ __ ] golden eggs doesn't mean it's going to rub off on you and everything you touch you and get the mightest touch. You got to work for it. You have to get that experience on your own. But here's the wonderful thing. Once you acquire it, it might take you seven months, may take you a full year. There's nothing wrong with that because once you get to that level and you have the experience and you know exactly how you're going to react, you know what your triggers are, what makes you nervous, what scares you. But then you start seeing all these instances where yeah I saw that before and I used to fear these types of moves. You ever you ever see that in some of my students responses when they'll come behind somebody else and say yeah I did this I got scared and I got out of the trade because yep I used to fear that same thing but then I had to push past that and just go a little bit further and just hold the idea and just stick to the logic and the concepts and then I got over that same fear. I don't look at that as someone browbeating someone saying you're stupid. That's someone saying, "I used to do the same thing and

Here's how I overcame that." You know what that is? That's a mini little version of market wizards. How these individuals coped and how they overcame, not the market themselves. They overcame themselves. More needs to be said about that. That's what makes those first two volumes of marketers so great. They're great. Everything after that, volume three or whatever they done, he's done after that is [ __ ] It's not even worth listening to or reading. But volume one and two absolutely crucial to me because it helped me understand that it isn't going to be easy.

And everybody goes through these these periods of adjustment, discovering what makes them tick, what what what's the thing that's going to make them blow it? Because we can all have the same ICT model that offers a setup every single day. But why is it that everybody doesn't have the same results? Why is that? Because you brought something to it that day that somebody else didn't. Somebody was able to filter out all the [ __ ] and distractions and focus on the model.

But how many days have you woke up just this just this past week and was mad about something somebody said about you or maybe your loved one or you just didn't feel like you've been recognized recently and you start feeling that that that tug of war of like do I have any worth or I need I need to prove that I des I deserve a better treatment from other people than I've received recently? So what do you do? You go into this role of a psychologist and you tell yourself, you know what you need to do? You need to go over here to this chart and pull up the Euro dollar and you need to put on a trade and when it gets to the target, you need to go show that person that you're worth something because you can do this.

And any doubt they've ever expressed to you or behind your back, you've nullified that. No, you didn't. They're going to say you got lucky on that trade. That's why you don't do [ __ ] like that. You can be out here every single day calling it perfectly, trading it, showing it's there in the same [ __ ] account, and people are still going to face it. They're going to say that you got lucky. They're going to say that something's going on. Not It's not legit. It's not kosher. [ __ ] these people. They don't care about you. They're not trying to see you get better. They want to see you miserable, jumping through hoops. That's why I don't do those types of things. I know what that stuff is, but I'm the one being entertained. I'm not entertaining them. If they get into entertaining the same process of me doing what I'm doing, so be it. But I'm not out here cow tailing to anybody and everybody. I'm not I'm not weak like that.

And a lot of you are actually exhibiting those characteristics before you even arrive that you're going to go and do everything everybody expects of you because you feel like you have to do it to prove it. [ __ ] that [ __ ] When you wake up and your bank account has seven digits plus in it, your income comes in whether you take a trade or not and it pays for anything and everything that's ever going to come as an expense to you. You're going to look at social media and say, "Yeah, I need to prove this to them." No, you're not. You're not. You're not going to. The people that go out of their way to prove it are the people that are barely just getting by or faking it. Real money doesn't need to prove it. They don't need to prove that because to feel like you have to prove it means that you recently acquired it like that's what I did when I was younger. New money definition perfectly. Or you're faking it.

And my question to you is is what manner of faking is anything in last year and this year have you seen none. You see there's nothing faked. It's all before it happens and then I'm trading it. So, where's your where's your uh excuse not to be pouring yourself into it? Now, as I mentioned in a post this week, I said, "Be honest." Now, think about you. You're worried about your acceptance of me as a mentor because I did not want to win the Robins Cut last year because my challengers did not show up. They didn't do [ __ ] Like, I wanted to have that [ __ ] Titan experience. Like, I wanted to do it. That would have been [ __ ] fun. It would have been [ __ ] amazing. And again, denied me. Okay, no problem. But you care more about that in the image that it supposedly Mars like that somehow blocks out everything I'm doing in front of you.

It's an IQ test, folks. The Jade Master Parable. The young guy wakes up and decides he wants to be a a jade master. As I said, I'm gonna go trek where they said the jade master lives. So, gets on this journey. Long time getting there, finds this jade master. That's like you looking to all these different mentors out there, all these different authors and styles of trading. And you discover there's this guy named ICT. He really knows the algorithm. The algorithm. Yeah. He'll tell you all about it when you get there. So, you show up at the door and this guy that doesn't look like the hero that you imagine he might look like shows up and says, "Hello." Says, "Uh, I want to learn to be a tradem." Oh, okay. Well, watch me sit over here and do something in front of the whole world. and prove that I'm the worthy tradem listen listen to. And then he doesn't do anything except talk. And the young man that desires to be this tradem says, "What the hell is this? This guy's full of [ __ ] All you're doing is talking, bro. You didn't do anything. You didn't prove anything." And the tradem says, "I've been talking to you about psychology and aligning your perspective on what things matter most and what you're what you're going to do to wreck yourself. Come back next week."

That's a mentorship per year. And I go through this every year, every year, every year. Every year, every year proving number one, nobody's stepping, nobody's doing [ __ ] nobody can beat it, nobody can challenge it, nobody does anything. But my concepts, keep working. I keep making millionaires. I keep producing students that do exceptionally well. And now this year here, no lots of talking outside the spaces of course. Watch this at the market. This is what I'm looking at. It's going here. Boom. Then I'll show you the execution. But Robin's cup. But Robin's cup. Yep. Robin's cup. Not one of those [ __ ] competitors, not one of those talkers, not one of those trolls, not one of those [ __ ] did [ __ ] like I Well, I just I discovered how to learn how to trade this year. I didn't know how to trade last year. I have fun with this stuff. I have fun with this. It's genuinely fun. But the perspective is this. You are willing to ignore the very thing that I'm begged to do every time I come out here. Call it live. Do it live. Trade it will with a real account and you're stuck on Robin's cup. That's the same thing in the jade master parable.

When the young man wants to go to learn to be a jade master, the first day he gets there, the jade master hands him a broom and says, "Okay, sweep over here, but before you start, here, take this green stone, hold it in your hand while you're doing it." What is that? In today's society, that's like, "Go [ __ ] yourself, pal. I'm not cleaning your [ __ ] house. I'm not doing that [ __ ] I came here for you to teach me, and I know how I should be taught. This ain't how you [ __ ] do it, man. You're a fraud." Okay, next week if you want to come back and learn, come back. But right now, you have to go home. What the hell? So, he goes home, he's like, "Fuck this guy." And over the week, he's thinking, "You know what? there. No other jade master able to do what he does. I got to I got to bite my tongue, swallow my pride, and go back there again. Shows up, knocks on the door. Jade master opens the door up, smiles. He says, "Come in." He says, "Are you ready?" "Yes." Thinking, "It's going to be a different show now." He gives in the broom again and presses another green stone in his hand. And yeah, he sweeps the the [ __ ] and he does it for a day or two. And then finally he says, "You know what, man? You're talking to me about [ __ ] that has nothing to do with Jade. You got me sleeping your [ __ ] apartment here. Like come on, man. Like what's going on here?" He tells him, "Go home. Come back next week if you want to learn." That's a trading week, by the way. This goes on for a couple weeks and maybe a couple months.

And eventually this guy stops interrupting so frequently and stops challenging what he's doing and what he's not learning about until one day he says, "You know, I I got to tell you, man. I feel like you're taking advantage of me. I think you're I think you're frauding me. I think you're scamming me. I came here to learn about jade, and I got all this [ __ ] all this talking. You could have condensed all this and taught me how to be a jade master in probably a five minute video, but you turned me into some [ __ ] housemaid. Like I'm like like I'm a servant to you. You're you're you're engaging you uh farming engagements with me. You're monetizing my attention. Somehow you're making money off of me being here doing this and I'm clearing your house on top of it. And the jade man smiles and tosses him a rock, a green rock. He's here. Cuts this jade. Young man grabs it in the air, looks at says, "This ain't Jade." And Jade Master smiles and the story leaves you with just that.

Now to the uninitiated, the stupid [ __ ] they're like, "This is a waste of time. What the hell's the point of that?" And the wise, the ones that are prepared to learn, they see it this way. The young man comes there with an aspiration to learn how to learn how to do something from the best. And the best knows that it isn't going to be a fast transition. And he also knows because he has the experience, he's the jade master, that there's going to be a lot of expectations placed on what they want right away as a student. And before you can be a jade master, you have to know what the [ __ ] jade is and the unrecognized what real jade is. So while he was sweeping and he was holding on to that green stone, that was real jade. He was giving that man time and letting him lend his own experience to him. Holding what does real jade feel like in your hand? Not just when you're carving it and shaping it. It's in your hand constantly for weeks and weeks and weeks.

So when I'm showing you examples of where the market's going to draw to and I show you the first result of fair value gap, that's me placing jade in your hand every day. So that way you recognize this is what it looks like. This is what it feels like in my hand right now with someone with more experience. And then when you see somebody else that's going to come to you and say ICT is rebranded [ __ ] It's fake. Nobody makes any money with it. He's not profitable. He doesn't have a profitable track record. He has no track record. He fails Robin Cup every time it comes out. And he's always a liar. He always frauds. He never calls it out live. You'll never see him trade a live account. You'll never see him show a broker statement. You'll never see him log into an account to show you day-by-day statements. You'll never see all that [ __ ] when you have and you tell them that ain't real Jade because you're sitting with me every day. I might be talking about tree frogs. I might be talking about world events and [ __ ] I might be talking about my own personal things and my experiences probably no interest in you in the beginning. It would bore you like get to the [ __ ] point, dude. can't listen to this [ __ ] guy. How can anybody listen to this guy? Because I'm talking to you in a language that's going to be understood when you have more experience. You're going to look back and say, "Oh [ __ ] this makes perfect sense now."

Because I can't teach you the first day you come with me and you turn to me as a as a mentor and say, "Okay, if you're this big hot shot in trading and you know how the algorithm works and when it's going to not be favorable, when it is favorable, it's going to be real easy for you to teach to me real fast because I don't have a lot of time to waste on you. And I'm going to tell you, you're saying you don't have enough time to invest in you. So, I'm either going to break that spirit in you or you're going to have to go away because that's an unteachable person. So, when you listen to me bloate about things, that's going to have a whole lot more pertinance to what you do as a trader later on when you have experience and you try start trading with real money, not monetized demo accounts where you can reset with less than 50 bucks. When you listen to me point out beforehand, that's me giving you Jade. That's me giving you real jade. Some of you recognize right away when I was showing you my two losses. That ain't real jade. There was nothing in there was nothing in those positions that was warranting an entry. None. None. Why did I show you them? Finally. Finally, he's being honest. He's going to show you his losing trait. See, well done, ICT. You're reminding us that No, no, no. You missed the whole plot. You missed it. I told you in advance I had to prove that I was going to do it wrong. No, I did it. I could have hid that. I could have reset the account. I could have done all over things. Why did I show up? Because I was living up to what I said this week. I was going to give you something that isn't real, Jade. And only the students that know what I'm doing and teaching can recognize there was nothing in that time to be a trade at that time how I was doing that. Zero. zero. You're learning from the jade master. Didn't recognize until now.

When someone tells you that the first presented fair value gap is [ __ ] and doesn't work. No one that's been in my presence this year is going to believe that. Why? because you've had real jade in your hands every day. Watching you use it, watching me tell you how it's going to behave, which setups are going to be yielding itself to you. That's experience. And that's what the jade master was teaching this young man by forcing him to submit to the process of holding real jade so that way you know what it feels like in your own hands. How can you be a jade master if you don't know what the difference between a grainstone and real jade? How can you differentiate a high probability trade versus a low probability trade? by being with the tradem day by day and pointing out what makes it high probability or low probability. What causes it to be a high resistance liquidity run condition versus a low resistance liquidity run condition? How does the economic counter impact the the levels of efficiency that may or may not exist in price on that given day? See, I I I don't complicate it for the sake of just complicating it. I'm I'm satisfying two things. I'm making the lazy go elsewhere or tap out and that's going to save them money. That's how I look at it. I'm doing a I'm doing them a a service of mercy. I'm saving themselves from themselves, but I'm also rewarding the diligent. I'm giving you all the real meat that you need to have. and the least important thing, the technical stuff that's sprinkled in there. But you think when you first come to me, that's what you're you're looking for. That let me go to this guy that takes out all the [ __ ] and goes right to the point where it's an ICT gem. We're just going to slice up and just take all the other stuff out of the marketplace discussion that he just gave and just going to talk about that little thing right there. That's this little piece right here and we'll call it the secret sauce. That's not the sauce. All the extra talking, that's the sauce. It's all about mindset, how you internalize things, your internal dialogue. How do you manage your internal dialogue? Do you wrestle with yourself while you're in a trade? Are you constantly asking the market to prove to you that it's still yielding what you expect it to do? You are the one that complicates it. I'm demystifying it. But it's a boring process demystifying it. You have to listen to a lot of things that require you to think. That's why it's not easy. Trading once you know what your model is, it's easy. You do this, you don't do this. But figuring out what's comfortable for you, that's really hard. That's really hard. And that's what the jade master was doing with that young man. He saw him come to him on a long journey to learn how to be a jade master. He expected to see this is the knife you use for this and this is the instrument you use to smooth it over here and this is what you want to do to make a shape appear inside the jade surface by this and that. You want to get right down to the point of show me how I can make money being a jade master. Okay, slow your roll and uh we're going to have to teach you humility number one, patience number two. This is no different than trading. You want to be a hot shot, never losing trade, all big profits payout trader. And you want and you think people are obligated to teach you. Someone that knows what they're doing, doesn't need to teach you. They don't need to teach you, but you come to them with a spirit of expectation and borderline entitlement. Listen, I walked all this way to find you on the internet. You owe you owe it to me. I've watched all your videos and I still don't get it. You owe me. Every time the young man complained, the jade master sent him home. Made him wait a week. Okay. How's that any different to a trading week? No. You have lessons given to you. I tell you, look at this. Look at that. So that way, what am I doing? I'm giving you real market insights that the market's going to use that day. Are you ignoring it? Are you saying, "This is [ __ ] You're not giving me a trade entry." There's a lot of folks that I block every day that come at me with that dumb [ __ ] because that's like the same thing, the Jade Master sending them home. I don't ever want to hear from somebody like that ever again because you're you're teaching me the most direct way to identify you as someone that's unteachable. You're unteachable trading. If it's so [ __ ] easy, all these people that talk this [ __ ] I complicate it. Okay, you come out here, you call the market. You come out here and execute based on what you called. Do it every single [ __ ] day like I'm doing. Do it every [ __ ] day unless I tell you otherwise I'm not going to be here. I'm doing it every day. These same people that have their opinions like that, they're not going to do it. But you let them bother you. They don't [ __ ] bother me. I'm on the wrong app. If I'm trying to hide from somebody, if I'm trying to hide from somebody, I'm on the wrong [ __ ] app because everybody can come at me here. And I've invited it. And it's comedy that all the excuses are falling away. Falling away. So Robin's cup is the broom. Do you think that the J master or in my case the tradem I'm supposed to tip dance into a [ __ ] everything you want me to do to prove myself? [ __ ] you. There's no better way than what I'm doing right now because if I fail in front of you this way, this is embarrassing. Think about it. I created a Telegram channel so that way you could come in there and watch me in a controlled setting. I don't have to read your [ __ ] your opinion. Took the same trade as you, boss. Let's get out of here. Whatever I say, that's it. That's the focus. You don't have to worry about remarks. You don't have to look at emojis supporting or or, you know, taking shots at whatever I said. It's just right to the [ __ ] point and delivering like gang busters every [ __ ] day. Proving what? I know what jade is and I'm teaching you how to identify it.

So when people tell you or you read other people say ICT concepts or smart money concepts or [ __ ] rebranded and that nobody makes money with it and you can't see it and you'll never see them use it and you'll never see any consistency with it. There's no edge in it. These are people that are lying to you. They have no idea what they're talking about because now that you've been with me, even this year, even this year, the first two months, if I would have just stopped right there, that's enough. I had people come out and say straight up say, "You know what? I was a hater of you. I talked [ __ ] about you all the time, but what you did this year, I I'm I'm [ __ ] convinced. Like, you you must really enjoy doing this stuff because you know how to trade, right? They get my humor now. I'm not hiding it from anybody. I've invited every [ __ ] talker out here and all of them find an excuse to block me and find somewhere else to be. Okay, that's fine. I'm not here to hate on anybody, but don't don't blame me because nobody showed me up because I've given them the stage for it and they don't do it because they know who the [ __ ] I am. They just don't want to admit it. They know what I can do. They just don't want to admit it. And some of you are failing an IQ test because you're watching me literally [ __ ] do it and you're denying it. You're [ __ ] denying it. Guess what that shows you? It shows you that you have hero worship syndrome. You're not going to learn from anybody that might have a opposing opinion by I don't know more than three people because you care about your own image. That means you're a victim of social media. You're a statistic. You're a casualty of this [ __ ] this science project, this social engineering project of social media. That's what this is. And you're [ __ ] failing. Robin's Cup is easy [ __ ] that's lightweight [ __ ] Easy, easy, easy [ __ ] It's easy. Month [ __ ] one of me in the Telegram blew out [ __ ] Robin's cup. It's done. Nobody's gotten that high yet. And look what's going on. You had somebody that come out here, called me a [ __ ] scammer. I ain't drink I ain't dropping names. Oh, he's a [ __ ] scammer. Blah blah blah blah. Showed up two days, [ __ ] himself, never came back. But guess what? That man has my respect because he got himself there. Most people would never do it because they know they can't. And the embarrassment that comes behind it. When I Here I am, I make a [ __ ] planner of it. Look at this [ __ ] Look at this [ __ ] over here. Look at this. Look, look, look, look. Now look at me over here. Mr. [ __ ] perfect. Calling it, sh doing the [ __ ] executions. Boom, boom, boom, boom. And telling everybody behind the scenes, watch how they react. There's still going to be people that ignore what I just [ __ ] did right there. Proving that there's nothing that I'm going to be able to do for certain individuals to make them realize that what I'm teaching works, that it works well in my hands, and you can learn it, too. Perception. Go back to being a magician for a second. If I hold a deck of cards in my hand and I show you a card and I ask you to

Sign that card, and then I tell you to put the card back in the deck anywhere you want, and then shuffle that deck. What do you think the chances are of me cutting to the card that you signed, first attempt? I'm going to tell you it's 100%; I'm going to do that 100 percent.

How can I say that I have 100% confidence that I can do that? Because I have a PD array in that deck of cards. Huh? What did you just say? Yep. Sure am. What I'm suggesting to you is that I could have a stripper deck. Now, if some of you think that's a naked woman on a pole, that's not what I'm talking about. A stripper deck is where the deck of cards is cut narrow going to one end and left the same width of a naturally produced playing card. So when I tell you to take a card out, I'm offering you the deck. When you take the card out, I'm going to reverse the deck in my hand, and I tell you to stick the card back in there. It doesn't matter how many times you shuffle that card. As soon as I grab the deck, I can feel that wide separation amongst the narrower side, and it'll cut right to that card.

Now, you don't know that as the person watching the magic trick, but as a magician, I know that ain't nothing you can do to this up. I'm going to be able to cut through it right away. And what is my what is my resource in knowing that I can do that? I know that there's going to be one card, one candle that's going to give me what I need as the edge.

You see how this made that transition from magic to trading? You have to have a gimmick. You have to have a novelty. You have to have something as a real catalyst to get you into a trade. But that cannot be retail horseshit that has no bearing on why price goes up and down. Always just using support and resistance. Okay? How am I picking the right support and the right resistance every single time? Nothing extra, nothing wrong. Ask anybody. Ask anybody what time frame. Pick a time frame. Answer by show us all the support levels and the resistance levels, all of them that are available, and then say, now out of all the ones that's on that time frame, which one is the one going to be used next for a buy or short? Crickets. Crickets. Everybody's lost their voice, folks. Langitis is now spreading. It's the new epidemic. There it is. Put your mask on. That's how it's going to be.

They always come at you after the fact to tear you down. That's the accuser. That's the enemy. And some of you are foolish, and you listen to that stuff, and you ignore and you forget what you just witnessed and what you were a part of and you watched happen with detail. This is where it should go and the time because I'm using one-minute charts. I don't have the luxury to outline every intricate detail. So when I do a review, I say this is this is the the catalyst as to what was going on behind the scenes. This is the reasons beyond what I pointed to. This is the reasons why I chose that to happen. And you all have the luxury of watching me do it right, correctly, consistently every time I do it. And I'm leaving the decision. Do you see value in that?

Some think that, oh no, this is all bullshit. You're not telling me when to get in. There's no stop loss, so this is all bullshit. It's trash. Your Telegram's trash. You're an asshole. You're an idiot, and you're broke. You want me to feel guilted in the giving you trades. I I've been around the block for a long time, folks. I've seen this bullshit. You're never going to make me feel like I got to do more. You're never going to do that. But for the people that are really wanting to learn, they're seeing it. They see the value and they're like, "Wow, this is this is such a wonderful resource to tap into for the time that you've been offering it to us, being able to spend time with you over the charts seeing it and watch how it pans out. That that's something that you can't put a sticker of of of price on because that's experience that's gone. It's not going to there's not going to be another group that's going to have that time like you've been spending it with me." And it sounds crazy like I'm I'm like I'm Elvis and some shit, right? That's not what I'm talking about. Again, I'm not Gandhi. I'm not some kind of, you know, deity. I'm just saying that I'm offering that time with you here that I'm not going to do anymore in any medium. I I chose to do it this year because I I needed you to understand the separation between what your perception of me as a mentor or a person, what you think I can and can't do.

Like literally folks, like literally competitions or trading competitions like you don't even see what I'm doing trading. You don't see it. So I I'm able to do far better than feeling any pressure of coming out here and saying, "Okay, here's millions of people watching me, and there's going to be this overwhelming desire to see me do it wrong. And that's pressure. What if I choke? What if I got my spaghetti on my shirt? That's an Eminem thing, in case you didn't know. I'm not scared. If I was scared, I wouldn't be doing this. If I didn't have confidence in being able to do it consistently, I never would have started doing it. My image is nothing. I could care less about my image. My lectures and my teaching is where the heart of the matter is. That's what matters. And when I talk to you, I'm trying to speak to the rational side of you. What do you see?

I have a lot of fun doing, you know, the little stunts I do online for my own inter my own pleasure because I know there's people that's not going to believe anything I do. And to me, that's fascinating. It's almost like, wow. Like that is ass backwards. Like that's really crazy. Like you're literally going to deny every single day results every single day, right? And then seeing the satisfaction of seeing people say, "You know what? I didn't need to see you do this, but the fact that you did it just gave me a huge bump in confidence and knowing that this is 100% rigged. You can see it before it happens when you understand what you're looking for. And it gives you a visibility that helps you fight off this uncertainty, this fear of missing out on a move. See, that's that's the problem with all this retail horseshit. You can't tell me when the supply zone's going to form. You can't tell me when the demand zone's going to form. So, you are forced to not predict price. And you must have to react to it. And I'm sorry, to react means that you're behind the eightball. It means you're behind something. Something has to happen as a catalyst that you have to chase. That's not me. I want to know where that shit is, okay? It needs to be in my scope before I squeeze the trigger. I need to be ahead of that target. So, allow it to walk into my crosshairs. That's being in front of the charts at the right time, knowing that your mark is going to walk in there's crosshairs. That is time-based delivery. Anything outside of time-based delivery is guesswork. I don't guess.

I have zero fucking fear of telling you what I think is going to happen and where it's going to go next. I have zero fucking fear when I do it. I'm confident it's going to do it because everything that I understand about price is signal that it's going to do it. So, I have everything firing that this is good. This is high probability I know I'm going to it's going to see happen. Every other school of thought, every other mode of trading and analysis concepts, none of them have that. None of them have that. And that's why they teach you to accept the randomness of price. Winning and and losing in trading is a random even distribution. No, it's not. The fuck it is. That's not That's not true. That is not true because every time you take a fucking trade, if you had three losing trades, the next trade you're taking isn't based on sound logic. It's based on fear because you're going to watch your setup form. You're going to know it's forming. Then you're going to watch it form, but you're going to be scared shitless to take anything on it. And then once it runs a little bit, you're like, "Fuck." Okay. Well, I know it's probably going to go there now. Let me just get in here. I have I have I have confirmation now. No, you're fucking chasing price. That's what's confirming. You're confirming that you're chasing price. So, you're not following your model. You're not following your fucking model. So, there's no even distribution of wins and losses that are randomized. That's not The only thing that's random is your ability to stay within the guidelines of your model. That's what's random. That's why supply and demand zones are horseshit and bullshit. That's why fucking trend lines are bullshit because they're too subjective. You know what? There ain't no subjectivity to the first presented fair value gap. There's no fucking way somebody's going to argue that that didn't exist right there at that time. You're not going to argue about the first presented fair value gap on Monday and extend that throughout the entirety of the week. Once you understand what that is, that's real jade. We're all going to have the same first presented fair value gap on the week. We're all going to have that. We're all going to have the same first presented fair value gap between 1:30 in the afternoon and 2 o'clock Eastern time for the PM session any given fucking day. We all have that. I've given you that gift. I've given that to you that no one can hide it from you. They cannot take it from you. They can't pry it from your fucking hands. They can't tell you that it doesn't fucking work. I have pissed in their fucking face, and they thanked me for it because they could have done this in front of me and you where they could have ran that fucking market the other direction and fucked me in front of all of you. They could have done that. Given enough opportunity, they will start doing it. But that's just one of 81 one of 81. And I've already told you, don't fear them taking 24 hours into the uh the equation because that same time, 4:14 p.m. when the market would the last print and the market would settle. Okay? You see them ring the bell at 4:00. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. And they applause like they did something that day, that they won something. And then for another 14 minutes, it allows it to settle. And it's usually, unless it's earning season, 4:00 to 4:14 p.m. Eastern time, it just it's kind of lethargic and doesn't do anything. But that price, the last print at 4:14 p.m. and the first print at 6:00 p.m., watch. I'm telling you, nothing's going to change. The only difference is there's going to be candles between those two that normally aren't. You won't need to worry about having the electronic and regular trading hour tab toggled anymore. Then it's just going to be simply just knowing what time it is because those still will work. And I can't wait till they shift and they show this and it's still there. And then you're going to know who the fuck I am. Then you're going to know. You're gonna fucking realize then this shit. Yep. I'm that guy. I'm him. I'm him. Been trying to tell you the whole fucking time. And guess what? You just want to kick and scream and deny it. Who are you? I think he is.

So, I didn't want to do a shotgun Saturday. I was really just looking for a nice peaceful weekend. No troublemaking at all. And I got on the X and saw some people talking some shit. Larry Williams is the real author of SMC and I copied him and I copied that and he showed you little pictures. What the fuck? Like they're like, "Oh my goodness, this is where S&T came from when I told you I was inspired by Larry Williams by his relative strength and analysis." And that's why I told you to buy his book. Those things those things had impressions on me. But he doesn't tell you when that divergence is going to form. Would you like to know when they form? Give me a number one with a plus symbol after it. If you would like to hear me tell you in the next five minutes when to anticipate smart money divergence, SMT, smart money tool, smart money technique. I never settled in on a name on it. I can't see your posts because I'm walking around the house. So, I'm I'm hearing some things blinking and and blipping in the background. So, I'm assuming that you probably are doing that now. When you see a market move into a macro. Now, a macro is me showing you how it's been codified, coded, scripted to run for inefficiency or liquidity. That's what that 20-minute interval every single hour every single hour it does this. Now if you understand that that is where price is going to seek to jump to to reach for to draw towards move in the direction of a obvious inefficiency above or below the market or an obvious relative equal higher low or a singular higher low like a London session high or a London session low. Sometimes they're not always a relative equal low or relative equal high. In London session, that one we treat a little bit differently because it can be a singular high, not relative equal highs. So a SMT divergence will form usually just before the delivery from a macro. So in other words, you're going to get that price run high. like imagine for a moment the market's been rallying and it goes up creates a short-term high and it trades off and we'll say we're say we're watching the ENQ NASDAQ and then some period of time and I'll leave that up to the time frame you're looking at because this forms on every time frame then it rallies up and makes a slightly higher high than the previous high in NASDAQ as we approach the beginning of a macro time. It can happen inside of a macro time. If it does, then it's super fucking star. It's going to rock. It's going to be a rockstar performance because you got best of both worlds right there at the same time. But usually S&T will farm just before a macro. And that stop hunt is the damage that frees the market to deliver under the basis of that macro time because the remember the macro is where all traffic is removed. It's like when air traffic control says, "Okay, uh we cleared airspace. you have the the right to have a safe landing here on runway so and so. That's what a macro is. It's a it's air traffic control to allow all things get the fuck out of the way. Now we're going to the liquidity or the inefficiency above or below the marketplace. The SMT divergence is the damage before that's permitted. So Larry Williams did not fucking teach that. He doesn't even believe there the things like he he thinks that there's no them against us and that's where we defer. Like I that was the that was the separation point with me because I love him to death. I'm so thankful. I'm absolutely thankful that I was exposed to his stuff and it came by a mailing list. I didn't I didn't find him any other way cuz I bought books from Trader Library and had it mailed to my house. I was placed on a mailing list and I got a hold of uh Ken Roberts shit too. So it could have been from his his mailing list because he was selling the mailing list if everybody bought his course. So, one of those two I was placed on a mailing list that Larry Williams purchased and then he direct marketed his, you know, his course stuff and I started, you know, started buying it. And when I got to the point where I started seeing that this there's there's measures of manipulation here that I can't escape. It's there. I don't know what's going on, but I know it's going on. And I do think there's it's it's them versus me. They're they're stopping me out. I'm on the right side of the trade. And if I was I was not stopped out, it was going to go to my target and I would have had the full run. I learned that real quick in my development, but I couldn't overcome it. I couldn't see it. So when I started looking for time cycles, and don't take that out of context, people going to use that sign that right there. I don't believe in time cycles, okay? But when I started looking at Fibonacci time, when I started looking at uh the element of repeating phenomenon, I didn't go in looking for it to occur at the same times. I just went in there looking for data and I started seeing this overlap, this overlap of everything in the British pound futures, everything in the Deutsch uh futures and Swiss Frank futures. And then I started seeing it in the bond market. Now my transition to trading just the SPOS market because I didn't trade NASDAQ back then. It was just a S&P market. It was happening there too. And I was like, shit let me just streamline this and get it down to a window of time where I only want to be focusing on setups to form right here and there. And that was the beginning of the macro. And that's why I've encouraged you last week, you know, look at a 15-second chart. Look for relative equal highs and relative equal lows. Because if you study that on a 15-second chart, you're going to watch how the market goes back and forth and bangs them, back and forth, bangs them, and bang and bang. And you can literally sit there all day long and trade a 15-second chart. And everybody else calls it noise. But it's just literally like just anything else. The time frame is very short. You got to be nimble. And you can learn a lot by tape reading a 15-second chart. Even if you can't trade the lower time frames, so many people are just they're just adamant about no, I need you to start teaching me on a 4-hour chart, daily chart, or weekly chart, or I'm not interested. then get the fuck out of here because you're literally that guy coming to the jade master saying I'm not learning anything when the 15 seconds doing every fucking thing that a weekly chart, a monthly chart, a quarterly chart, a yearly chart, five-year chart, doesn't matter what the fuck it is, it's price, but you're getting so many wonderful examples that repeat inside of a just a one-hour chart. 15 seconds is a lot of opportunity to see it banging around and take relative equal highs and relative equal lows and noticing the time that it forms these things. And I promise you a revelation in that because you will see how one of the most used high-frequency trading algorithms operates in the marketplace every single day buying and selling all day long. You see it clearly on a 15-second chart. 30 second for for some of the more significant price runs, but the real detail you'll see it in a 15-second. And I don't want you to take my word for it. I want you to go out there and spend some time delving into that. And you will find what you realize after seeing it. That's what goes on behind the scenes. It's they're running the price on a scripted basis. It's on time. If it's not ran by time, you're going to have a a a random distribution of when relative equal highs and lows are being taken out. But you're not going to see that. You're going to see that they happen at a conformed window of time. Now, right away, that's that's that's toxic to some of you. Like, no, you should just tell me what it is. No, no, I shouldn't. I shouldn't be telling you any of this stuff if this if we're being honest. You're not entitled to this stuff. But you have a wonderful revelation if you do that. I'll share with you 15-second charts. For the people that don't have that chart, I'll I'll share the morning session through the guys of a 15-second chart next week. This this starting this week and that way you can look through the chart and study it and you'll see it, you'll note it. And once you get that, the whole idea of this market being scripted or there is no central algorithm, you're a full of shit man. Every instrument has an algorithm price engine that literally drives the market up and down and it attacks resting orders. It entices buying and selling. There's no buying and selling pressure driving it up. No more than the three or four ticks above the high that has a a standing base of orders maybe in the tune of 250 contracts. But two ticks above that there's another 300 handles, 500 handles, 10 handles above that. But it stops just above the bump those leaving all that real juicy liquidity. You mean tell me that nobody's interested in being a buyer that they can't just rebook and send that price higher to higher to higher just to absorb those liquid that liquidity up there? They don't want it there. That's why it never goes there. It's controlled. They leave that up there because when they start sinking the market, more shorts are going to enter the market and net liquidity increases because what you're watching is the net longs that the smart money is holding. They need to exit the liquidity to exit out of that. So they want to build these big pools of liquidity above old highs. That's why turtle soups work. That's why they work. Linda Rash's book never covers that. And you can go and look at her book. Look and see if Larry Connors and Linda Rash mentioned that's the reason why the turtle soup forms. They just say they're capitalizing on a pattern that historically has been proven 70% effective by being contrary to what the turtles traders methodology was, which was buying a breakout of 20-day highs and lows. You ever seen me using a 20-day high and low? Fuck no. But the concept of a false breakout, which I didn't invent that. They didn't even invent that. They just gave you a specialized system of entering around that that idea or premise, which is why I think the book was great when I first got a hold of it. I paid $175 for that book. I don't know what it goes for now, but I don't regret paying that much for it because it gave me an insight about stop hunts that it solidified a concern I had that validated it for me because if these people are writing a book about it, then they saw it too. So if they saw it, too, that hey man, that to me that validates it. wasn't something I'm just feeling like it's a you know it's limited just to me which in trading can can trick you. But if it's a a large sample set of data suggesting something that's there then the premise is probably having weight to it. Knowing how a turtle suit will form before it forms. Same premise. Uh, a turtle soup can form right before a macro or just after a macro begins. But knowing the narrative of how that daily candlestick is going to form a down close day or an up close day is going to be understood based on where the liquidity is and how we start the day. Is it going to rally first and create the high of the day or is it going to sell off you initially trick people short leaving relative equal highs that they run for later in the day that creates the high of the day and the only thing they're really running out is the engineered buy side liquidity then send it lower for the close and that's your narrative. That's the bias is short but it isn't always open go straight down close. how we trade initially after the open because in a perfect world what we want to see is when we're bearish it opens rallies up and takes out the liquidity above 7 to 9:00 in the morning or London high or Asia's high and we use the economic calendar to bridge that which one do I really want

To focus on, but we always, every single day, use the liquidity that's formed just after 7 o'clock Eastern time, prior to the 9:30 opening bell. Those pools of liquidity cannot be hidden from you. And when it's a clear, obvious relative equal high or relative equal low, and it would match how the daily candlestick should form for the purpose of power three, in other words, you're bullish. Your bias is bullish. You think the weekly chart is going to keep working towards a level higher. Okay, wonderful. That means you're going to be looking for easy bread-and-butter. The idea is at 7 o'clock in the morning go to 9:30. At 9:30, in that last 90 minutes, where are the relative equal lows? If there are no relative equal lows, just find the lowest low if it's a singular low. That's where you're going to expect the price to drop down. In a perfect world, but because we have to watch and see what the opening range can do for the first 30 minutes, unless it just does exactly what we're expecting right out the gate, which is a Judais swing, and when we're bullish, it drops down and goes for the liquidity. Then you know what you're waiting for. Go down there, get it, soup it, um, use the first presented fair value gap that you come to after it runs the liquidity. Okay, it's a little variant on the gauntlet. It doesn't have to have a--it doesn't have to have a breaker there. Okay, so running up and see, I just slipped that in there and people didn't stay on, they didn't hear that, but the--the raid after going down to hit that sell side, even if it's going to go lower, the chances of you getting 50% of that drop down that many times can be a trade; it can yield you 20 handles; it could, in today's volatility, it could be as much as 50 to 100 [ __ ] handles. You know, it's--it's relative to what you're seeing in terms of volatility at the time when you're looking at the market versus well guessing what it's going to do. Yeah, there's a--there's a process of you determining what liquidity it should reach for.

Perfect world, it drops down for liquidity, makes the low of the day, and then all day long, the rest of the day, it just keeps going higher. That's a--that's a perfect classic buy day. They happen about four to six times a year--sorry, a month. Every other day might get like you're bullish, your bias is bullish. The weekly chart you're calling for a specific premium PD array, and then the market rallies first. Well, that don't make any [ __ ] sense. Like you want to see it drop down. What do you do? Wait, and then if it's left relative equal lows during the opening range, it's going to come back down for the silver bullet to get that and then run higher going into the lunch, and then whatever short-term high that's in the middle of that run, it'll bump down into that during the 2-hour lunch period, hit that liquidity, and then expand for the rest of the day. Give you the--the classic up close when you're bullish. There are only a few scenarios that's going to pan out. There aren't dozens. Okay? If the market's going to close high or close, there are only three scenarios that are there. Three, that's it. Experience is going to dictate how those three scenarios look and narrate that price being delivered for the daily candle. That's it. That's how it is. The only caveat to that is it's going to start off as it should and then it goes into seek and destroy. And that's always the wild card. Well, guess when that usually happens: the week of PMI. It's the week of NAF for payroll, FMC rate announcement, CPI number. That's it. Nothing else. Nothing else invites the seek and destroy. So, you may not know if it's going to rain today, but you can identify when the clouds start forming. Okay, where are we at on the economic calendar? This could become seek and destroy. So if you made money and things start looking stupid, turn your charts off. Ain't that easy? That's easy.

Everything has a process. Everything has a place and a time for it. And you have these rules and these have these processes and protocols. It removes all of that fear of missing out. It removes all that greed. I have to have a winning trade right now. It removes the necessity of you being right every single time. It gives you the strength to know that what you're using is sound logic. It is not to do away with--well, throwing the baby out with the bath water. That's usually what happens. And the long and short of it is, is until you place yourself in front of the charts and you submit yourself to it, you won't see these things. You won't benefit from it. It just sounds like mumbo jumbo, blah blah blah. All he does is talk, talk. I'm walking it this year. I'm doing it right in front of you. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? Every single time I come out here, what I say is expected to happen in the price and it did the exact opposite of that. How [ __ ] embarrassing, how telling, how revealing would that have been? Then all of you would have had every reason to believe the [ __ ] that people say about me. But you don't have the luxury of thinking seeing it that way, do you? You have the opposite. You have the terrible discomfort and argument of, "Well, he's getting lucky every [ __ ] day." But eventually, what's going to happen is delicious. I love it. But then anyway, I just realized we've been talking for a little while. Yeah, looks like it's uh--we're in the macro. 950 to 1010 macro. I guess all you guys should be uh--woke up now, and most of you probably will be afraid to see the length of this one. So, let's see. We start at four o'clock and uh--it's like six hours, isn't it? Six hours. Is that the longest I've ever done? It doesn't feel like it's been six hours. You want to go for 10? This is [ __ ] go 10. 10 hours, only the strong. [ __ ] that. I'm not--I got [ __ ] to do. I got to get out of here. I got things I got to be at at 11:30. So, I had fun talking to you today. I uh--I was inspired by the [ __ ] talkers like I always usually do. You guys try to defend me from them and you always think that like they're hurting my feelings. But you should be thankful because all those people that talk [ __ ], all those individuals that talk [ __ ] and talk out their ass and they lie and they think they know something they don't. When I see that stuff, chances are it's going to inspire me and like rocket fuel. Like it inspires me to just set the record straight and say, here, here's what you are really talking about, but should be talking about. Here's what you're ignoring. And when people take a stop and they listen to this and they've been a student of mine, and if you've been listening to other people blow about [ __ ] that ain't true about me or whatever, it'll wear on you because you don't have the experience to say, "Yeah, I ain't listening to that sort of [ __ ]. I've been around with him long enough to know that this is not what he is and this is what he's doing and I've seen it in my own hands." That's--that's experience that nobody can pay for. But they inspire me. I don't look at them as, oh, they're hurting my feelings. Like, I love it because I can come out here and remind you this, that, and the other thing. And you can't cancel it. You can't argue against it. It's not like I'm not telling you before it happens. Look at the--look at the week. Look how we traded inside that range of not for payroll Friday high. We were aiming initially for Thursday's high of last week, and we used that daily fair value gap that was bullish. I shaded in yellow. I said no close below keeps it valid for it to send price higher, and we spent most of the week doing what? Reaching, reaching, reaching up. Now, an apt pupil, someone that's really interested in wanting to learn, they'll go down into the 15-second chart and look for every relative equal low when it formed and when they ran through that and then sent price higher. And that is your everyday model. That's your everyday deliverer. Every time you get in front of the charts, you're looking for that. And that forms every 60 minutes. You got to know what it's reaching for, though. You derive that from a weekly and a daily chart minimum. Nothing less than a daily chart, but primarily you want to use a weekly chart. What is it reaching for? And every relative equal low on a 15-second chart. Once it's rated, if you take the first presented fair gap after that, you have a high-frequency trading algorithm right there. First short-term high or relative equal high or inefficiency above it. That's your first partial. And then you hold it and see if it can start delivering to that higher time frame target. And then if it does, once you get up to 11 o'clock, if you can afford to take a partial, do so because you might have the lunch hour, which is really two hours long, it could retrace and go even beyond where you got in at and shoot for a London low, upset the people that are in there long. That's more likely to occur if you're in the discount area of that primary range that you're expecting to see delivered on a daily or weekly basis. In other words, that draw liquidity that you're--you're aiming for for bias purposes. When you're in the first half of that price run that would materialize, there are going to be stop hunts like that will--that will occur. So, you have to trade differently a little bit there. But, when we get to a premium side of that price run, you won't see these big drop downs; they won't--they won't need to come down there because they want to get closer to that exit strategy of getting out at that pool of liquidity or that inefficiency that's a premium. But anyway, we're going to close it here and be satisfied with this. I uh--I didn't spend any time with you yesterday. I'm sure you probably all missing me, going through withdrawal, strung out on ICT. So, I am going to wish you a very pleasant weekend. Have a very wonderful Saturday. And for all of you that are students of mine and are mothers, Happy Mother's Day. I hope you have a very pleasant, relaxing day. And Lord willing, I will talk to you all on Monday. Be safe.
