In this solo YouTube presentation, DB Bedford – the “EI Guy” – explains how he applies emotional intelligence (EI) to short‑term day‑trading. He introduces the concept of an EI Day Traders community and promises to teach viewers how to use EI to make disciplined, emotion‑aware trading decisions. Bedford walks through a live‑style activity log showing how he captured $515 in profit within less than an hour (6:33 am–7:20 am) by scalping small, directional moves in a bullish market. He describes the scalping mindset: watching market direction, riding the trend, and exiting quickly while managing the emotional pull of uncertainty. He discusses risk and contract sizing, noting that the same trade could have yielded $5,000 or $50,000 with larger contracts, but emphasizes that the goal is skill development and freedom rather than the dollar amount. Bedford frames the skill as a high‑value side hustle that adds personal worth, encourages viewers to join his EI Day Traders group on social media, and ends with a call to like, subscribe, and share the opportunity with others.

All right, good morning. DB Bedford here, the EI Guy, bringing you that emotional intelligence both personally and professionally. I just want to make this very, very clear. I love, love, love emotional intelligence, and I love the fact that you can leverage emotional intelligence in so many different areas of our lives. We could do it in relationships, we could do it at work, obviously for our own personal development, and And now I discovered how to do it in the financial markets, which is why I'm creating the EI Day Traders Community. Okay. I want to teach you and show you how to leverage emotional intelligence into the financial markets. And I'm preparing the content as we speak. You know, I know you guys are anxious about it. So all you have to do is stay tuned and watch how this happens. And the reason why I'm showing you these examples, because I want you to determine, is this something for you? Now it's Monday morning, so I wanna show you how I was profitable making $515 in less than an hour. $500 is not a whole lot of money. It was how I was able to get the $500, which makes me excited. And that $500 could have been $5,000 if I had a bigger contract size. And we'll talk about that inside the training. But for now, I want you to come inside. I'm gonna show you quickly how I captured those profits so you can understand how to become an EI day trader. So remember, as scalpers, right, EID day traders or scalpers, we focus on capturing small profits in the market as it's happening, okay? Because we know that the market can change its mind at any given time. Now, there are different strategies for investing in the stock market. The— our particular strategy here, we got one mission. We want to watch the market. We want to see which way it's going. We want to follow the direction that it's going, and we want to capture profits along the way. That is our only mission. And so we're in this trade, and we're just waiting to see how far up that it's going to go. If it continues to go up, we'll be right there with it. If it did— if it decides to reverse, We will get stopped out where we're already at. So we just want to wait and see, you know, what's happening. And that's just the thing. I mean, this is a waiting game. I mean, you know, at the end of the day, it's very exciting when missions are coming, when a mission is accomplished, but in the middle of the mission, right, it gets a little, uh, that's where, like I said, that's where the emotions come in at, because you have to watch the market be undecided, right? Uh, the buyers and sellers are either— Here we go. So that's a stop out. So let's see what happened. So we got $515. Okay, so let's talk about this right now. So here's my activity log, which means that this is basically how I started today. Let's go into the beginning. I started at 6:33, um, right here at the bottom, 6:33, and I've taken a couple of trades. One of the trades were profitable. One was not profitable, and then the last one was. So between— but the bottom line is from 6:33 to 7:20, and that's what— that's what the end of the day, what this is going to be about. From 6:33 to 7:20, which is less than an hour. $515. How do we capture that? We recognize the trend was going up, right? It was a bullish, uh, movement going on, meaning the buyers were in control, and we got in and we rode these candles up. Now, because I was down, I got caught up in here with a little fluctuation. I was down. I had to get back what I lost and then capture profits in this trade. So there you have it, Monday morning. 1 hour's worth of work, $515. It's really not the money we're after, it's the freedom. Learning to become an EI day trader, the ultimate side hustle, is a very powerful skill. If you read any type of books about building wealth, right, or earning money, the wise people will tell you the way to earn money is to add more value to yourself. And what better value can you add to yourself by learning a skill that relies solely on you, on your mental, your emotions, to make a right decision to enter into the financial markets and exit at the right time and take profits. And you can do this throughout the day. For me, where I'm at, I don't like to mess off my for sure trying to get some more, so I'm going to capture this and then I'm done. But you could play in this market all day if you want to. I don't recommend it, but that's gonna be totally up to you. You could trade bigger contract sizes or smaller contract sizes. Again, that trade could have been worth $50, the $500 I made, $5,000, or $50,000. Just depends on who's playing the game. But it's not about the money, right? The results that we get come from adding value and learning this skill. and mastering this simple skill of becoming an EID trader and learning how to scalp, learning how to take small profits out of the market and get on about your business for the day.
