Peace, fam. DB Bedford here, the EI Guy, bringing you that emotional intelligence both personally and professionally. You know what, I ain't gonna stop saying it, I'm juiced every time I come on camera because it's so exciting and rewarding to learn and develop a skill that allows you to grab some additional income before most people even get their day started. Now I gotta go pick my grandson up for school this morning. So I was very intentional about my ability to trade this morning because I know I don't have a lot of time, but it was also exciting to challenge myself to say, hey, can I get a trade in before I got to get on the road? I was able to get this trade in 8 minutes, $795 in 8 minutes. I feel good. When I go pick my grandson up, first thing we doing, we going over to Starbucks so I can get me a pumpkin spice and he can get him some hot cocoa. I feel good, right? That's to me, that's what this is about. About everyday people like you and I, right, being able to take the edge off, right, pick up a few extras without having to go out and physically do anything and do it in the shortest amount of time. Again, this business of trading is high risk, high reward, which leads me to something that's very, very important when we're talking about becoming an EIDAY trader. We have a serious focus on risk management. When we talk about risk management, there's a lot of different ways to look at it, and I'm going to lay that out in the training. But I want you to think about how you are when it comes to risk, right? When you think about taking risk, does it give you butterflies in your stomach, or do you not mind taking a little bit of risk in life? And that's something that you're gonna have to decide before you come on to this side and become an EID trader, because there is definitely risk involved. But no risk No reward. That's why I always say you can't play with scared money. But we have a risk management system in place that, you know, we have the opportunity to put a mechanism in place so that if you are wrong about the trade, you can get out with the minimum amount of losses possible, and then you can re-enter when the trade is going back into your favor. Now, most people will get caught up because they won't put the risk management system into place. Right? Or they won't wait for the new opportunity, so they'll get stopped out and then they'll jump right back in, and that's not what you want to do. And even when you are profitable, right, and you get stopped out, one of the common mistakes that I've made is getting juiced. I just made this $795, I'm like, let me go try to make another $795 without, uh, taking a fresh look as if it's a new trade. And then what I did is continue that last trade. And then sometimes you end up just giving your money back, but that wasn't the case this morning. So I wanna show you real quick how I was able to get $795 in 8 minutes, and then I'm off to go get my grandson. So let's take a look. Come on in. I looked at the charts and all the indicators were pointing that the bears might try to take a little bit of control this morning. So I got into the trade at 2415.80. So I'm just kind of waiting to see if this trade go ahead and mature. It's kind of going back and forth. It's not really pushing a hard direction. It started off that way up here, but this candle has not really pushed through. The next candle will be forming shortly, so we'll see what happens with that. The goal today is to try to get a couple of dollars before I have to get out and, and have grandpa duties. So next candle formed and it pushed down to 2414. So that looks like that's going to go into my favor. So I'm going to go ahead because, you know, we're scalpers, right? So the first thing you want to do is you want to grab our first point because we never know when the market is going to turn around. So I'm going to go to 2414.80, get my first point for the day. As you know, I try to get 5 points whenever possible in any particular day. Doesn't always happen, but that's the goal. Everybody's goal will be different in this space. But as a scalper, the first thing we want to do is pick up a point every chance that we get. To me, it's like an experiment because I don't have a lot of time to trade today because I got to get on the road around 7:15. So I'm going to try to capture mine as early as possible. And so you see now that it's at 2413. 50. I want this to try to go down a little bit so I can capture that point. You see that the, the candles are kind of going back and forth, so it's not a clear, uh, direction. I mean, it's clear, but it's taking a minute, and so I don't want to play it too tight. But I could tell you right off the cuff, I got my first point for the day, which would probably be about $200. I'll take that before I go pick up my grandson. And that's the mindset that we got to constantly have, is that this is the ultimate side hustle. Okay, so now I have time to grab another point. So I'm going to go ahead and take my, uh, stop— my stop loss and move it down. You see now it's at 2411, I'm at 2414, so I'm gonna grab a couple of those points. I'm gonna get to 2413.80. So I'm just gonna try to trail a point behind because this will come back and stop me out at any given time. Uh, so that is 2 out of the 5 points that I would love to get for the day before I go out, uh, and, and go take care of my business. And that's what I love about this trading. When you, when you are positioned at the right time in the right moment, you can get rewarded. So it's about 6:37 now, so we're about 7 minutes into this trade, and I'm just kind of trailing behind, you know, seeing if I can capture a point as the The trade progress. Right now the bears are in control, meaning that they are pushing the price down. The sellers are pushing the price down. And so now it's at 2411. So I'm going to go ahead and capture that next point. So I'm gonna go down to 2412.80. All right. And I can tell you I'm already satisfied. Okay, so I've already got 3 of the points that I want out of 5 in my particular goal for the day. Okay. And so if the momentum continues, right, we may be able to accomplish this goal real quick. All right. So we're looking for the next opportunity to move our stop loss down to 2411.80 when possible. So once this gets into the 2410s, down a little bit, I'm going for the 2411, right? Because again, I want to get mine as soon as possible because I don't know when the market is going to turn around. So there we go. So that point's locked in. So if it reverses, that's okay. I've already locked in 4 of the 5 points that I would like to have for today. So you know our model, we don't want to mess up our show trying to get some more. And so when you look and size this up, you know, you can see now that they're starting to be a little bit of reversal. You know, we don't know if it's going to continue, but if it does, it's okay. We definitely have got close to our goal for the day. And, uh, that's to me is the most important thing. That's the most exciting thing to me about this, that if you wait like we just did and at the right time, you can go to your positions. $795. Let's go to the activity. We got into the trade at 6:32. Got out of the trade at 6:40. That is 8 minutes. Go to positions for $795. How did we do it? We looked at the chart. The opening candle, which was this one right here, open at 6:30, gave us an indicator that it may be a bearish run for the first couple of candles. The EMA has started to take a dip. The MACD was pointing down, and as you can even see that it's still— the price is still being pushed down. Now again, you always have a decision whether you can get back in. I think that's the example I was telling you about, like if you are too close, right, then it can reverse, stop you out, and then keep going back in that direction. Now here's the thing that I'm teaching, right? You have to decide. You can look over here and go, oh, let me try to get some more, right? It may keep going down, and that's fine. You are have— you're gonna have to make the decision that you want to make. I believe to have the most success in this game is to go set a target. So my target is 5 points. I got almost 4 of those points. I have to ask myself, is $795 that happened in 8 minutes worth it for me this morning? As a scalper, I just want to take small profits and get on about my business for the day. And that's why I say this is the ultimate side hustle. And if you get really good at this being the ultimate side hustle, then, uh, it could probably— can eventually take over and be your main hustle. But for now, We're just, we're just focusing on being able to read the chart, recognize the direction, capture quick profits, going about your business for the day. So there you have it, right? $795 in 8 minutes. Now I'm about to head to go pick up my grandson, take him to school, have a quality moment with him, and then I am free to work on other things for the day or do nothing at all. For some $795 is not much, right? For me to do that in 8 minutes and be done for the day, that is what gets me excited and keeps me excited about all the possibilities when it comes to day trading. I'm looking forward to the upcoming 5-day trading challenge. I should be able to get that landing page out this week for you to sign up.

Be in and out like a robbery, so to speak, and take profits for the day and then be free to go about your business. Goals become so good at this that you have your personal freedom where you are no longer uh, find yourself trading so much time for money. All right, so I'm looking forward to seeing you guys on the other side.
