Peace, fam. DB Bedford here, the EI Guy, bringing you that emotional intelligence both personally and professionally. It's the first trading day of the year and I'm excited. All throughout the year, I'm going to be doing what I like to call the Time Versus Money Challenge. And the challenge is going to be every time I turn on one of these videos, I'm going to have a time that I want you to look at to see if you have the ability to earn money. So today's challenge will look something like this. When this video is over with, I literally— and no cap, I just— this is really to put things in perspective— I want you to set the timer on your phone for 4 minutes. And within that 4-minute time, as it's counting down, I want you to really, with all the energy that you have, try to determine how are you going to make some money in 4 minutes. And if that timer catches you before you figure it out, Then it's worth understanding what it means to be an EI day trader. I want to show you how I made $580 in 4 minutes this morning from 6:30 to 6:34 being an EI day trader. And the most exciting part about it is I can show you how to do the same. I have what's called the 5-Day EI Trader Challenge, where I can take you from where you are now to be able to place your first trade, just like the one I'm about to show you. Come on in and take a look. All right, so it's about 6:33 in the morning. It's the first trading day of the year, and, uh, I noticed that the Russell has been up overnight. It was up about 11 points when I opened up in the first couple of minutes. So I got in at 2261. Right now it's at 2265. So the first thing I want to do is I want to start the year off right, and I want to scalp my first point because I want to come into the year profitable. So So I'm gonna go up to 22. Let's go 63 because I want to capture everything that's happening here. But you see how it's running? Look at it now, 2267. So we're just going to trail behind this because we want to get our points quick because we don't know what's going to happen. All right, so we'll go to 2265 right now. Look how big this candle is. Great opportunity this morning coming out the gate. So we just got our first, uh, let's say almost 4 points. For the day. It just reversed on us a little bit, so let's just see what happened there. So we got $580, $580 through the activity. We got that right here, it's from 6:30 to 6:34. What a way to start the, the day off. And just like that, that's how we're gonna kick off the first trading day of the season. Again, typical scalping move. Seeing that the Russell was up overnight, that first bar acted up. It was coming out the gate. I knew there was opportunity to grab a couple of points in. Got myself in, got out. Now I'm about to go on about my business for the day. This is the beauty of becoming an EID day trader. So I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in all throughout the year and showing you time and time again when the opportunity presents itself, we get in, we get out, we get on about our business for the day. Happy New Year to everyone.
I was literally kicked off a Southwest flight before for being disrespectful.
