This video is for the person who's been trading over a month and is still failing at it, still not making money, still is unprofitable day trader. I'm making this video to snap you out of it. I'm making this video to literally snap you out of it because it's honestly, it's realistically not as hard as it seems. I know it seems really hard, but I promise you, as someone who's been trading for over 8 years and I've been able to make millions of dollars day trading, and that's across all fields Futures, Forex, crypto, stocks, options— across everything I've been able to succeed in day trading. And honestly, once you get to this point, you realize it's, it's really not that hard. Like, it doesn't make any sense that it took me over 2 and a half years to start making money day trading. Like, I was the main blocking point. And I've seen this— I've been able to help over 24,000 people learn how to make money day trading, but I've seen hundreds of thousands of people fail. I've seen them all just struggle, and I'm— it's always struggling over the same stuff. And, um, it's, it's like I said, as someone who's kind of at that point that I wanted to get to 8 years ago, that I was trying so hard to get to 8 years ago, now that I'm there, I'm realizing, I'm looking back like, bro, this is really not as hard as people think it is. I'm not saying that it's easy. I'm not saying that you're an idiot for struggling or whatever, I'm simply saying that it's, it's really not like— we're doing too much. Like, honestly, we're doing way too much as day traders if you are failing. But yeah, I just wanted to make this video just super raw, no edits, no fancy thumbnails, no fancy titles, nothing like that. I want to make this video really snap you out of it, a video that if I watched 8 years ago, it would have not taken me nowhere near freaking 2 and a half, 3 years to start making money day trading. Like, it's It's honestly so stupid when I look back on it, but I'm gonna give you guys the exact thing. I'm making the exact video that would snap me out of the stupid mistakes that I was making that would literally put me on a straight path to start making money extremely fast when it comes to day trading and be able to achieve this life that I obviously have now. So yeah, super raw video, no crazy edits. I'm sick right now. I'm just getting over like some type of crazy, I don't know what it was, but I was sick. Uh, so if you hear me, I'm stuffy, whatever, it doesn't matter. But I was literally having this conversation with somebody inside my inner circle, going back on our messages and the voice notes that I'm sending him. I'm like, this is something that everybody needs to hear, because if I heard the same kind of information I'm telling this guy in the beginning of my trading, I would be so much further along. I would have saved myself so much stress, so much time, so much money that I lost in the beginning. It's absolutely freaking crazy. But yeah, I decided to turn it into a video. And that's why I really love the Inner Circle and not being able to build kind of the thing that would have helped me in the beginning of my trading. I literally dive into these same topics and have these same type of talks and conversations with everybody inside my Inner Circle, honestly, um, to snap them out of it. My Inner Circle is the place that I've designed that I would have needed as a new trader. Not only do you get to trade live with me every day, but you also get these type of like one-on-one interactions where I'm able to help you really break down the problem that you're having and fix it so it doesn't take you 3 years, it doesn't take you 4 years to become profitable. We've had people in the Inner Circle that have started making money, talking about $40,000 a month within the first 2 or 3 months. But yeah, I'll leave a link for the Inner Circle in the description down below. But let me, let me give you the thing that's going to snap you out of this. Trading is a game of probability right now. What I mean by that is you can have a 70% win rate And that's obviously great on paper, but you never know when that 30% is going to come. You never know when you're going to lose that time. Like, you can never predict when you're going to lose. Everything can line up absolutely perfectly, but you can still never say that that's going to be a winning trade, ever. And why that's so important is that a lot of people know it's a probability game. They know this is a game over about winning over a long period of time and having success over a long period of time. But we still treat it as if trading is a day-by-day success thing. Like, and what I mean by that is when we have a bad trading day, we go on tilt. We're like, bro, this— we suck at trading, this strategy sucks. We then start trying to switch stuff around. And God forbid we have a bad 2 days in a row. Now we're freaking punching our screen and thinking that trading is a scam and that nobody is a real trader. They're all just scammers. It's, it's really like stupid when you look back on it. And this is why I tell people journal your trades. Like, I— people ask me all the time, what is like the main— what is the main turning point for when I started making money day trading consistently? And I tell them it's when I started journaling my trades because it helped me to realize that, yeah, today sucked. Yeah, yesterday sucks. Yeah, maybe this week sucked. But zoom out, look at the past 100 trades. I'm freaking killing it. You know what I'm saying? I'm seeing that 70% win rate even though I lost 5 trades in a row just now, I'm still seeing, zooming out, that for the past 100 trades I still have a 70% win rate. And that's what trading is about. It's about consistent winning over a long period of time. It's not a day-by-day thing. If you're coming into trading to make money and always win every single freaking day, I'm telling you right now, it's not going to happen. Nobody has 100% win rate. Warren Buffett himself does not have 100% win rate. So what makes you think that you, the person that just started trading, 13 days ago is going to have 100% win rate. It just doesn't happen, right? Just honestly, it's not going to happen. But we end up getting in that thought process that, that, that mindset that we're supposed to win every day. We put too much emphasis on the day-by-day activity of trading or the trade-by-trade activity of trading versus looking at the overall picture. Look at not just today, don't look at this week, look at the past 100 trades. That's what you should do, because if you don't, you're gonna have a bad— you're gonna have a bad trading day today, and then you're gonna end up going on tilt because you're gonna lose, let's say, $1,000 today when you were supposed to lose $100. The next day you're gonna over-leverage, you're gonna triple your contract size or lot size or position size, whatever you want to go by. You're gonna end up losing more, and then you're gonna be like, wow, trading is a scam, I quit. And you're like, let me just freaking Hail Mary this last time to make all my money back. You do max contract, max lot size, and you blow your account. Trust me, I'm speaking from experience. And it's not even just my experience only. I've heard this story so many times, it's actually ridiculous. It's like we all are just stupid together. I don't know what to say. But that's why, like, when we put too much emphasis on a singular trade or a small batch of trades, it could be today, tomorrow, it could be a whole week or 2 weeks of just not having good trades or on a losing streak. We put too much emphasis on that without zooming out and looking at the bigger picture, realizing that, yeah, like I said, the past 6 trades absolutely freaking sucked. But zoom out, look at the past 100 trades. We're still at that 70%. We're still winning. And the reason why most people are unprofitable, the reason why you're probably unprofitable, is because when you have those losing days or losing streaks, you go on tilt. And like I said, you end up giving more money back, throwing off not just your win rate, 'cause your win rate doesn't even matter. Right? You're— when you can have a 90% win rate, but if your risk-to-reward ratio is absolutely freaking chopped, that— you will not make money. You can have a 90% win rate, but if that one day you have a losing day and you're losing 100 times as much as you're usually winning, you're unprofitable. It doesn't matter about the win rate. I tell people this all the time. I think people really need to get it in their head. The win rate does not matter at all. Like, not at all. It does matter, but it doesn't matter as much as you think. If you have the proper risk management, you can be profitable with any win rate, guaranteed. You can have a fricking 5% win rate. But if every time you win, you're winning 200 times as much as you lose, you're profitable. Congratulations. So really just snap out of the mindset of wanting to win every day or thinking that you're going to win every day and then getting mad when you lose or putting too much— like you're putting way too much pressure on one trade. And if you are, things you need to do instantly right now to stop. If you're putting too much pressure or you're stressing too much about one trade, Cut your contract size or lot size in half. 100%. That will help you out. Cut it in a quarter. That will help you out even more. I promise you, you will not sweat it. If you do that, I promise you 100% you will not sweat your trades anymore. Just cut your contract size or your lot size in a quarter. Do 25% of what you usually risk on a trade. See how freeing and stress-free trading actually is. Another thing is stop spending so much time on the charts like You hear me promote day trading and say everybody should learn how to day trade. You hear all these people saying everybody should learn how to day trade because it doesn't just give you financial freedom, but also gives you time freedom and location freedom. But we fricking stupid people just, just continue to give that back because we're like, yeah, trading gives us time freedom and location freedom, but we're spending fricking 20 hours a day sitting at the charts like we're literally giving up the thing that we're getting into day trading for, if that makes sense. Like, it's— and I see so many people do this. I'm like, bro, like, the reason we got into day trading was to make a crazy amount of money in a short amount of time from anywhere in the freaking world. But instead, you're losing a crazy amount of money in your mom's basement for 24 hours a day, every day, and you're stressing about it. Now, I'm not just saying to spend zero time on the charts. Obviously in the beginning of your trading you're gonna have to spend time in the charts to be able to learn it, but when you're actually trading, like when you're actually trading, you should not be spending freaking 13 hours a day looking at the charts. Look at any, um, trader, any successful trader that you know. Go to their Instagram stories, their Instagram pages, their YouTube pages, their day in the life, whatever you want to watch. See how long they're actually sitting at the charts. How long do you actually think Warren Buffett or any trader that you know— just think of any trader right now, look at any of their pages and let me know. Guess how much time they're spending on their chart. They're not spending 8, 10, 12 hours a day on the chart. I can tell you that. Like me, myself personally, if I didn't have the Inner Circle, if I wasn't trading live with the Inner Circle, if I didn't have all these other coaches— not coaches, but students and stuff that I teach how to trade, I'd be in front of the charts for probably like 30, 35 minutes a day, realistically. And you guys see me, I'm consistently making $8,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000 daily on a daily basis trading. And I'm not spending— I'm not trading my time for that type of money. And I feel like the trading community has such golden— what's it called? Golden Nugget Syndrome or something like that. I don't know. But it's like when you're trading a strategy, and you have a losing day or a losing streak, you end up switching, right? You end up going from being a trendline trader. Now you're trading support or resistance. Now you're trading gaps. Now you're trading fricking ICTs. Now you're trading, um, support or resistance breakout. You're just switching all over the place every time you have a losing day or a losing streak. And that's the worst thing that you can do if you want to be a successful day trader. Think about it. I'm gonna put it in this perspective for you guys because you guys will be able to understand this a lot more. Picture every strategy. So let's say support and resistance. Let's say breakouts. Let's say supply and demand. Say gaps, ICs, whatever the heck, right? Picture each strategy as a sport. So imagine you're trying to be successful playing basketball, but then you have a bad game. Your team loses one day. So then you start trying to be a great soccer player and then you go to tennis and then you go to bowling and then you go to track because you just keep sucking or you have a, you have a bad losing streak on one of them and then you switch to another sport thinking that it's the sport's fault. Right? Doing that, you're never going to actually learn how to play basketball. You're never going to learn how to play bowling. You're never going to learn how to play tennis. And every time you go to a new sport, you're going to subconsciously bring the same things that you learned from the previous sport into this new sport, which then messes up this new sport. For example, if you played baseball before and if you played golf, this is like known across the golf industry. If you play— if you're a baseball player and you try to transition to golf, it's going to be a lot harder for you to get a good swing because you have the subconscious way of swinging when you're playing baseball is the complete opposite of how you swing a golf club. So you're going to end up splicing. I believe you're going to splice it, which is basically make it kind of curve and turn off to the right because of the way that you swing a baseball bat. And that's just subconsciously. It's not like you're trying to swing it like you swing a baseball bat. It's just you were learning this skill. And then you went into a different field to learn something else, and you're subconsciously bringing other parts of it into this other sport, which then makes you worse at this sport. Now bring this back into our perspective of strategies. If you're trying to be a support or resistance trader and that's what you started off with, now you're switching to supply and demand or breakouts. You're going to subconsciously take the same things that you were using in your support and resistance trading and bring it into breakouts, and it's going to contradict what you actually need to be doing in your breakout strategy to actually see success in it. So then you're going to be like, dang, support resistance doesn't work and breakouts doesn't work because you're doing it completely wrong. You're having the wrong mindset when it comes to actually trading that strategy. So I said all this to say, when you are trading, I promise you, if you can just stick to one strategy, I don't care how hard it gets. I don't care if it's not working for a week, for 2 weeks, for a month. Stick to one strategy and figure out why it's not working that week or that month. Figure out what you're doing wrong, what the markets are telling you, and how to adapt to that. Versus every time you have a losing streak, you switch from your support and resistance strategy to breakouts to fricking super scalping strategy to trend lines. I promise you, instead of you switching, just look back and figure out what the heck you did wrong. It will save you a lot of trouble. It's better to stick with one strategy than it is to try and switch to another strategy and master that one without taking the knowledge that you have from the previous strategy, which would contradict the successful practices that you would need in this new strategy. It's very hard to do that. So stick with one strategy, figure out one that you're going to stick to, forget everything else you learned. Stick with that strategy regardless of if it gets hard. Stick with it, figure out why it's messing up, and then go from there. Adapt, change it, enhance it from there. Now, the best way you're going to enhance it is when you're tracking it. I talked about this before. You have to journal your trades. I feel like I'm talking with my hands a lot. I usually don't. But, um, I guess I'm just getting passionate about it because I'm like, bro, if people just— if I like— I promise you guys, as someone that's on the other side of this, like, if I was speaking to myself and I listened to everything I'm saying in this video, I like 100%, it would have taken me max 4 months, max 4 months, probably quicker to start making money consistently day trading. But instead it took me 2 and a half, almost 3 years. So I'm trying to say that time from y'all. I don't want y'all to have to go through that type of— the same amount of time that I've given to the markets to get to where I'm at now. I lost my train of thought. Oh yeah, tracking your progress. Like, if you literally just journal every single trade you take, that's the best way you're going to track your progress and be able to look back on it and be like, okay, every single time I lose, it's because I jumped in too early. Every single time I lose is because I overleveraged. Every single time I ended up closing my trade out early, it's because I overleveraged and I was scared of losing the money. So I closed my trade out early, but the trade still would have hit. So if I just stopped overleveraging, I would not have closed my trade out early and my trade would have hit. It's just picking up on the small things and small habits that we all have. I've said this so many times when I'm having my one-on-ones with my students, um, that most people are failing at trading right? And it's not even that they don't know why they're failing. They know the exact thing. Like, picture this, right? Just think to yourself, because this hap— I ask people every single time on my one-on-one calls, what are you struggling with? What do you think is your main hurdle, right, with when it comes to trading? Not a single person— I, like I said, I've done this for over 24,000 people— not a single person has told me, I don't know. They all say it's because I over-leverage, I always hop in too early, it's always this, it's always this, it's always this. They know exactly what it is. And I'm like, bro, if you just stop doing those 3 things you just said, you're there. Like, you're profitable. Like, if you just stop doing the things that you already know you're not supposed to do, you're profitable. So I want you to look back right now. Imagine I'm asking you, hey, you, what do you feel like is your main hurdle? What do you think is actually stopping you from being a profitable trader? What do you think is the thing that's stopping you? Whatever comes to your mind, write it all down. Let's say it's 2 or 3 things. Most of the time it's max 3 things, but most of the time it's 2 things. Um, write it down. And what I want you to do for the next month, don't do those 3 things and see how much more money you have. Like, it's really that simple. And I know I mentioned in the beginning of this video that trading is not as hard as you think. I'm not saying it's hard. I'm not saying— I mean, I'm not saying it's easy. I'm saying it's very simple. You know, you should not be doing whatever those 3 things are, but it's hard for you to have control and discipline over yourself to stop yourself from doing it. That's why it's also extremely important to have a community or someone that you could talk to, a friend that's also— that knows trading. I'm not talking about talking to your girlfriend, your fricking dad, your sisters, your siblings that know nothing about trading. I talked about this in my vlog just now. I'm like, I don't talk to my wife about trading. Especially in the beginning of my journey, because I— she just doesn't understand it. She's going to be like, why didn't you just close it out when you were up $100, knowing I'm risking $5,000 to make $15,000? Talk to somebody, have somebody like have a community. And that's why, like I said, that's literally why I built the Inner Circle, is to give myself the exact stuff I needed. We have a whole community of not just traders that are trying to become profitable, but a bunch of successful traders who are now extremely profitable. So you can see they started off completely new and now it's super profitable, which helps you as a trader when you're in your journey, when you're thinking in your mind, dang, does this actually work? Or dang, does anybody actually succeed in this? It helps you with that. We have a trading psychologist which literally goes into basically all the topics I'm talking about on this video. You have access to me, someone who's literally been in the same position you've been in. And has been able to get to the other side. I feel like I'm saying the other side, like I made it into freaking heaven or something, but I made it to the point that I wanted to get to when I was first starting off trading. You have so many other coaches and it's just a whole community. And that's literally why I designed the Inner Circle. I'm not trying to pitch the Inner Circle and stuff like that. I'm just, that's literally why I created it because having a community, having people that you could talk to that understands where you're at, where you're trying to get to, that understands the struggles that you're having, is extremely important, extremely valuable. Now, if you have a friend or you have like a sibling who's actually taking trading seriously, I'm not talking about your uncle that fricking tried to trade Apple stock back in 1903. I'm talking about someone who's actually taking day trading seriously. Talk to them. If you don't have a community, my Inner Circle is, like I said, perfect for it. I'm not trying to pitch it. If you want to join the Inner Circle, live trades, community, everything you need to become a successful trader, hit the link inside the description down below. No, but in all seriousness, it really is amazing. And I was— I just posted a video actually on my Instagram or post on my Instagram story how one of my students made $1.1 million. I can show you guys $1.1 million off of a $100 investment right here. Here it goes. I don't know if y'all can see this. It's right there. Anyways. But yeah, I thought that was super cool. And I was just thinking back, like, I feel so blessed to be able to bless other people. To be able to be the person that I needed 8 years ago when I first started off. But yeah, like, you literally need a community. You need to be able to talk to people. Yeah, like I said, Inner Circle, link down below. Crazy promo. No, but I'm being 100% serious. But yeah, if you just realize that you're the thing that's stopping you from being a profitable trader, it's a lot easier to snap out of it. And I mentioned the strategies before and sticking to one strategy. I gave you literally the blueprint to the exact strategy that made me over $1.1 million just day trading with it. That's not even talking about swing trading and things like that. Just day trading last year in 2024 made $1.1 million. You can use this strategy. The video is literally right here. You use this strategy right here, copy it, and be confident that that strategy works so you can stay with that strategy and not skip from strategy to strategy to strategy. I basically just gave you the easiest thing ever. So watch that video, learn the strategy. I'll see you on the next video. Y'all have a blessed rest of y'all night, morning, evening, whatever the heck time it is for you.
