    it's absolutely
  • 00:01:32
    safe in the market it can't bite
  • 00:01:36
    you until you get in there on the
  • 00:01:39
    sidelines the only thing that's hurting
  • 00:01:40
    you is your pride and your ego that you
  • 00:01:42
    didn't do something but many times it
  • 00:01:45
    tricks you thinking that you really knew
  • 00:01:47
    what you were doing but really if you
  • 00:01:48
    were honest did you tell anybody in
  • 00:01:51
    advance was it public knowledge that you
  • 00:01:53
    thought it was going to do this very
  • 00:01:55
    thing go only this low then go up to
  • 00:01:58
    that very high and that entire run you
  • 00:02:00
    wouldn't have any adversities or any
  • 00:02:02
    kind of
  • 00:02:03
    anxiety you're lying to
  • 00:02:06
    yourself you're lying to yourself and I
  • 00:02:09
    see many people even in my own Community
  • 00:02:11
    here that are brand new that do that
  • 00:02:13
    kind of
  • 00:02:15
    stuff you see it permeated in the
  • 00:02:17
    industry across social media everybody
  • 00:02:20
    everybody knew it was going to do
  • 00:02:21
    something after it
  • 00:02:25
    happened and when you talk like that and
  • 00:02:28
    you really didn't believe that was
  • 00:02:30
    happening you didn't believe it was
  • 00:02:32
    really in the chart you weren't
  • 00:02:33
    one-sided in your
  • 00:02:35
    analysis what you're creating is this
  • 00:02:38
    overwhelming sense of impatience because
  • 00:02:40
    what's going to happen is you're going
  • 00:02:42
    to trick Yourself by lying like
  • 00:02:45
    that that you're ready to trade one day
  • 00:02:49
    something's going to happen and you're
  • 00:02:51
    going to feel like you need to do
  • 00:02:52
    something to change the way you feel
  • 00:02:54
    about your life your present
  • 00:02:58
    circumstance and you're going to go in
  • 00:02:59
    there and try to press a
  • 00:03:03
    button and the results are not going to
  • 00:03:05
    be
  • 00:03:06
    favorable because of impatience the next
  • 00:03:09
    thing is impulsiveness if you're an
  • 00:03:11
    impulsive
  • 00:03:13
    person what you're doing is you're
  • 00:03:15
    showing signs that you have a lack of
  • 00:03:17
    knowledge of
  • 00:03:19
    price what is impulsive if you're
  • 00:03:21
    watching price you're among some
  • 00:03:24
    chattering community of people on a
  • 00:03:26
    telegram or a Discord or
  • 00:03:28
    whatnot and you're
  • 00:03:30
    simply waiting for something to happen
  • 00:03:32
    in price and it starts running
  • 00:03:35
    higher what's every going to do oh I'm
  • 00:03:37
    buying oh it's going up everybody will
  • 00:03:40
    find their voice then and say it's going
  • 00:03:42
    higher of course it is it's going up 30
  • 00:03:44
    handles it's
  • 00:03:47
    running and then you feel like I gotta
  • 00:03:50
    get on I got to get on that and what do
  • 00:03:53
    you do buy
  • 00:03:56
    it buy it I got to buy it right now
  • 00:03:59
    because it might keep going up to where
  • 00:04:02
    I don't [ __ ] know but it's going to
  • 00:04:04
    go up because look what it's doing right
  • 00:04:06
    now that's impulsiveness and so you're
  • 00:04:08
    [ __ ] laughing right now smiling
  • 00:04:10
    thinking shaking your head this
  • 00:04:11
    [ __ ] just pegged me again yes
  • 00:04:14
    we've all been there I've been
  • 00:04:17
    there but the only way you combat that
  • 00:04:20
    and you keep it at Bay and you conquer
  • 00:04:23
    it is to learn about price delivery that
  • 00:04:27
    means you're not even back testing
  • 00:04:28
    you're just studying studying what price
  • 00:04:30
    is likely to do most
  • 00:04:34
    times in certain instances and certain
  • 00:04:37
    circumstances the market will create
  • 00:04:39
    Market reversals it'll create
  • 00:04:42
    continuations it'll
  • 00:04:44
    create range bound
  • 00:04:48
    opportunities admittedly I can't stand
  • 00:04:50
    trading inside of a a narrow range I can
  • 00:04:54
    but to me it's too tedious it pisses me
  • 00:04:57
    off I'll have more losing trades than I
  • 00:04:59
    I like to have I can come out of that
  • 00:05:01
    but I just don't like that it's a waste
  • 00:05:04
    of my [ __ ] time doing that I know I
  • 00:05:06
    can sit on my hands and wait for the
  • 00:05:07
    time when I know the Market's going to
  • 00:05:08
    run or offer me swings intraday or I can
  • 00:05:11
    operate and and do well get in take mine
  • 00:05:15
    and go home and leave it to the rest of
  • 00:05:18
    the people try to figure out what
  • 00:05:19
    they're doing with it but your
  • 00:05:21
    impulsiveness is conquered by the study
  • 00:05:24
    of general price action and
  • 00:05:28
    understanding what's available in terms
  • 00:05:30
    of how markets move what's the benefit
  • 00:05:33
    of
  • 00:05:35
    that knowing what to
  • 00:05:38
    do for yourself as a Trader in terms of
  • 00:05:41
    pursuing certain aspects of trading and
  • 00:05:43
    even if a move has already started on
  • 00:05:46
    the daily chart and it's ran several
  • 00:05:48
    hundred handles or whatever on a big day
  • 00:05:50
    you know that you're not going to be
  • 00:05:52
    impulsive the next morning I got to go
  • 00:05:54
    in there and Chase that it's going to
  • 00:05:55
    keep going down which is the first rule
  • 00:05:57
    I told you on a large range day what do
  • 00:05:59
    we do lower our expectations on the
  • 00:06:01
    morning session that doesn't mean that
  • 00:06:02
    the market can't run it doesn't mean you
  • 00:06:04
    can't take a trade just means that you
  • 00:06:05
    as a developing student you as a new
  • 00:06:08
    Trader in the making you're not there
  • 00:06:11
    yet don't have a hard opinion
  • 00:06:15
    immediately the next morning after a
  • 00:06:17
    large range
  • 00:06:18
    day wait that's Amateur hour everybody
  • 00:06:22
    is going to be thinking the same
  • 00:06:24
    thing that the next tenant is fear fear
  • 00:06:28
    is the lack of Journal case
  • 00:06:31
    studies you're fearful that this isn't
  • 00:06:33
    going to work it's not going to work for
  • 00:06:36
    you it's worked for everybody else I can
  • 00:06:38
    do it but I know as soon as I get out
  • 00:06:39
    there and I try to do it these [ __ ]
  • 00:06:42
    are going to change the
  • 00:06:44
    algorithm I'm gonna waste my time I'm
  • 00:06:47
    afraid it's not going to work for
  • 00:06:48
    me I have so many profitable students
  • 00:06:51
    that had that same
  • 00:06:53
    fear how do you get over it by back
  • 00:06:57
    testing and journaling case studies of
  • 00:06:58
    what you are expecting to do when you're
  • 00:07:00
    trading live what you're trying to see
  • 00:07:03
    in price action and that way you see how
  • 00:07:05
    many times it works how many times did
  • 00:07:08
    it fail how many times did it go into a
  • 00:07:11
    certain measure of draw down how many
  • 00:07:12
    handles did it go against you before it
  • 00:07:14
    started moving in your favor how long
  • 00:07:15
    did it take from your trade entry using
  • 00:07:19
    the worst case entry point not the best
  • 00:07:21
    and then when it got to your objective
  • 00:07:24
    whatever some liquidity would be or
  • 00:07:26
    inefficiency it would be trading to your
  • 00:07:28

    slope if it was a completely smooth 45
  • 00:10:00
    degreee angle up to the peak of it
  • 00:10:03
    you're brand new it's first time you've

    accustomed to that new height lower
  • 00:10:48
    oxygen it's a whole it's a whole

  • 00:10:58
    consistently profit
  • 00:11:00
    each
  • 00:11:01
    day in the beginning you think I want to
  • 00:11:04
    make this much money every single day
  • 00:11:05
    this percentage every single
  • 00:11:08
    day and when I'm winning and the
  • 00:11:11
    Market's still running don't go back in
  • 00:11:13
    thinking I got to get some more out of
  • 00:11:15
    that your model says be
  • 00:11:18
    done you don't trust it you think if you
  • 00:11:22
    don't push push push push push my Edge
  • 00:11:24
    push my Edge get in there and do as much
  • 00:11:26
    as I possibly can because the Market's
  • 00:11:27
    really running you're losing sight
  • 00:11:31
    and you're pushing your entire career
  • 00:11:32
    into one trading day that's
  • 00:11:35
    greed that's the only reason why that
  • 00:11:36
    happens greed you think that you're
  • 00:11:39
    going to make so much more and that one
  • 00:11:41
    moment in time you're thinking to
  • 00:11:43
    yourself this is the one that puts me
  • 00:11:46
    over you're [ __ ] trading with Nano
  • 00:11:49
    Lots you're trading with micr lots
  • 00:11:50
    you're trading with One
  • 00:11:52
    Mini your life isn't
  • 00:11:55
    changing okay you're not retiring you'll
  • 00:11:58
    still see Carl tomorrow
  • 00:12:01
    don't let this stuff mess with your head
  • 00:12:03
    thinking that you have to do
  • 00:12:05
    something over leverage over trading
  • 00:12:08
    doing more than what's necessary your
  • 00:12:10
    model says take the trade when it gets
  • 00:12:11
    to your target be done be content close
  • 00:12:14
    the charts and then refer back to it at
  • 00:12:15
    a later time when you wouldn't be
  • 00:12:17
    trading
  • 00:12:19
    it if you can't do that you don't trust
  • 00:12:23
    yourself and if you're thinking that way
  • 00:12:25
    you shouldn't trust yourself you have to
  • 00:12:26
    physically remove yourself from the
  • 00:12:28
    markets leave don't be around don't have
  • 00:12:31
    the app on your chart I'm sorry on your
  • 00:12:33
    phone don't do
  • 00:12:37
    it or you don't trust your
  • 00:12:40
    model people are greedy because they
  • 00:12:42
    think that their model is only working
  • 00:12:44
    right then and
  • 00:12:45
    there so let's maximize it because it
  • 00:12:47
    might not work in the future it might
  • 00:12:49
    stop working I might not be able to find
  • 00:12:52
    this same [ __ ] setup that repeats
  • 00:12:54
    every [ __ ] day every single week I
  • 00:12:57
    might get amnesia and forget that this
  • 00:12:59
    [ __ ] doesn't [ __ ] actually occur
  • 00:13:01
    every single [ __ ]
  • 00:13:04
    day sounds silly when it's said like
  • 00:13:06
    that but that's exactly what you're
  • 00:13:09
    doing you're forgetting the fact that
  • 00:13:12
    this stuff repeats you're forgetting the
  • 00:13:14
    fact that these things occur at a
  • 00:13:15
    specific time of the day specific days
  • 00:13:18
    of the [ __ ] week all these things are
  • 00:13:20
    repeating phenomenon they're not random
  • 00:13:23
    the are these are things that absolutely
  • 00:13:25
    are coded they're there because they're
  • 00:13:27
    supposed to be there they are set on a
  • 00:13:30
    schedule they're going to [ __ ] happen
  • 00:13:32
    it doesn't matter how many [ __ ]
  • 00:13:33
    people are buying it or selling it on
