3. 0:15um I can see my own breath you guys
4. 0:18probably can't see it
5. 0:20but yeah trying to get that sunlight in
6. 0:23my eyes to set my circadian rhythm it's
7. 0:27really important you guys like that's
8. 0:29like one thing I've learned like that's
9. 0:31like the number one thing you have to do
10. 0:34apparently get that sunlight in your
11. 0:36eyes anyways like it's a honestly not a
12. 0:40bad day it's only
13. 0:4250° um it's pretty warm for winter so
14. 0:47for December um you can hear the birds
15. 0:51that's like one thing I like about
16. 0:52Queens is that like it's not as noisy as
17. 0:55a city
18. 0:57so and I can sort of have like a walk
19. 1:03so many birds this
20. 1:05morning but yeah
21. 1:08so good Saturday
22. 1:10morning I'm trying to wake up early keep
23. 1:13the same like um wakeup time every day
24. 1:17you know so that like I don't get thrown
25. 1:19off during the
26. 1:21week um really trying to get a routine
27. 1:24in we don't talk about that enough is
28. 1:28like it's hard to just like build a
29. 1:30solid routine because this game it's
30. 1:34performance-based
31. 1:37so I'm actually heading out into the
32. 1:39city today ooh oh my God I just put my
33. 1:43like hand on my face and like look what
34. 1:45I oh my God I'm so sensitive um so just
35. 1:50ignore this part of my face you guys but
36. 1:52anyway I'm going to the city um for a
37. 1:55Trader Meetup I'm pretty excited I'm
38. 1:58going to meet other women Traders um
39. 2:00there was like an open invite on Twitter
40. 2:02there's going to be like I think like a
41. 2:03few of us like six of us um but I've
42. 2:07never been to a Trader meet up before so
43. 2:08I'm pretty excited um so yeah I don't
44. 2:11really have any expectations but I'm
45. 2:14really excited so let's see how it
46. 2:19[Music]
47. 2:28goes
48. 2:32[Music]
49. 2:52so we're at Union Square you guys I have
50. 2:54a gimbal but I don't know how to use it
51. 2:57yet like it was a gift for me that I
52. 2:59never used from like 3 years ago I
53. 3:02literally don't know how to use it so
54. 3:04wish me luck and it was this moment
55. 3:07where I realized that today is Santa Con
56. 3:09which is basically where people get
57. 3:11dressed up as Santa and they go day
58. 3:13drinking in the
59. 3:23[Applause]
60. 3:28city
61. 3:31so on the way back home there was a
62. 3:33train from the 1930s waiting for the
63. 3:36station I did not expect this but the
64. 3:39city brings out these trains during the
65. 3:40holiday season pretty interesting they
66. 3:43have these old
67. 3:45advertisements there even ceiling
68. 3:48[Music]
69. 3:58fans oh my God now I just fixed my
70. 4:02little what is it called
71. 4:07DJI gimbal now I just fixed it after I
72. 4:09got home um honestly I just um I messed
73. 4:13up because oh this is going to take some
74. 4:16getting used to
75. 4:17[Music]
76. 4:19like Anyway apparently I had to like
77. 4:23hook it up and connect it to my phone
78. 4:24for it to actually work and get some app
79. 4:27and everything so I mean hopefully I get
80. 4:29used to this I don't know it's kind of
81. 4:32funny um but anyway it was so much fun
82. 4:35uh there were like six of us and some of
83. 4:38us some of the ladies um traded options
84. 4:40some of us traded future some of us
85. 4:42traded ICT some of us traded um support
86. 4:46and resistance somebody traded I think Q
87. 4:49Banks I don't really know his work so
88. 4:51much I only know qbanks from his like
89. 4:54viral videos when he's like trading NFP
90. 4:58and uh what is it and then he's like
91. 5:01down like
92. 5:02$80,000 um but
93. 5:06anyway I'm tired can I just talk like
94. 5:09this for the rest of the
95. 5:11video no
96. 5:13um anyway uh the next week's a new week
97. 5:17but you guys like it's been kind of
98. 5:19tough it's been like consolidation um in
99. 5:22the market um since we like hit those 60
100. 5:25days highs in the NQ and like the other
101. 5:27week I actually blew up a funded account
102. 5:31because there was no reason really there
103. 5:33was there was literally no reason for me
104. 5:35to get into those trades we were in a
105. 5:36Range I had marked out two different
106. 5:38zones and we didn't even do an opposing
107. 5:41liquidity run like it just started like
108. 5:43running towards one uh point of Interest
109. 5:45I had and because of that like it
110. 5:47literally then enticed me to get into
111. 5:49the move and definitely faked me out um
112. 5:53because I just I just didn't wait for my
113. 5:56um setup and so honestly I'm thinking of
114. 5:58starting live stream streaming and doing
115. 6:01it because just to keep myself more
116. 6:03accountable because I noticed when I do
117. 6:05like record myself without live
118. 6:07streaming but just record it like I'm
119. 6:09less likely to do anything that I'm
120. 6:11going to regret like less likely to
121. 6:13chase anything more likely to just wait
122. 6:14for a proper
123. 6:16pullback um so I think I might start
124. 6:19live streaming not just literally not
125. 6:21for education or anything would be
126. 6:24entertainment purposes and I think
127. 6:26literally just so I can stay accountable
128. 6:27and sort of also just document things
129. 6:29better um because it is a lot of work to
130. 6:32just um put out
131. 6:35content and I mean live streaming would
132. 6:38be a bunch of content right so
133. 6:41um oh do you guys like my uh little
134. 6:43Santa Claus with a
135. 6:48[Music]
136. 6:58saxophone
137. 7:00one funny part was that I didn't realize
138. 7:03until uh later on but today was s Santa
139. 7:08Con which is basically like people dress
140. 7:10up go into the city they just daydrink
141. 7:14they're loud they're sloppy um I've
142. 7:17never participated in this myself and
143. 7:19that's just sort of like an
144. 7:20inconvenience but like whatever what can
145. 7:22you do right it's New York City like
146. 7:23people can do what they want but yeah I
147. 7:25mean like the restaurant was really loud
148. 7:28um because I mean but even for New York
149. 7:30standards like the tables were all close
150. 7:33together and like you know I guess like
151. 7:35people from Santa Con were there and
152. 7:37everyone was just like super loud and
153. 7:39drinking like our table was the only
154. 7:41table that was not
155. 7:43drinking um I guess like you know we're
156. 7:45all busy people and we're all like I
157. 7:47have stuff to do I want to do back
158. 7:49testing I don't really drink
159. 7:51anyway it's it's just like mentally puts
160. 7:54you off for the rest of the day and it
161. 7:55messes up your circadian rhythm but yeah
162. 7:57I like to feel in control of my own mind
163. 8:01but yeah I don't know I don't know um it
164. 8:04was so much fun um I had a fun time
165. 8:07though and like next time maybe we'll
166. 8:10just go somewhere a little bit more
167. 8:12quieter so that we can hear each other
168. 8:14better because like literally the person
169. 8:16across from me it was hard to hear but
170. 8:18um yeah I mean that's a city for you you
171. 8:21just kind of always have to adapt to
172. 8:23your environment and um yeah but what
173. 8:26was like really nice is that they had
174. 8:28like a lot of Christmas decorations out
175. 8:30in the city um so that's always fun and
176. 8:33it was a super nice day outside like it
177. 8:35was like 55 like what in December you
178. 8:39got to take advantage of those days you
179. 8:40got to go outside you got to just have
180. 8:42to like your mind just feels so much
181. 8:44better and like honestly during the week
182. 8:47a
183. 8:48lot I spend a lot of times indoors I
184. 8:51spend a lot of times just trading and
185. 8:54then um you know reviewing trades I
186. 8:57spend too much time on on Twitter and
187. 8:59things like that and then like when I go
188. 9:02to the gym and then I go home like the
189. 9:04winters are so long here so like
190. 9:08whenever whenever there's a nice day I
191. 9:10got to go outside got to take advantage
192. 9:12of that like but yeah it was like a
193. 9:14brunch type of thing I already had my
194. 9:16bagel today in the morning so you know
195. 9:19um I just ordered a french onion soup it
196. 9:22was really good was delicious but yeah I
197. 9:24mean maybe I should feel I don't know I
198. 9:26I'm kind of like nonchalant like I don't
199. 9:28really care so much I lost the funded
200. 9:30account um maybe because like I was I
201. 9:32had just started that one I wasn't so
202. 9:34tied to it but also like I should be
203. 9:36taking things more seriously
204. 9:39because I should not be getting into
205. 9:41trades that just to see what happens
206. 9:43like you know what I'm saying like I
207. 9:45should wait take it seriously take the
208. 9:47profession seriously take the market
209. 9:49seriously because it's one of the most
210. 9:51competitive marketplaces in the world so
211. 9:54why would I treat it otherwise right so
212. 9:57if I'm just nonchalantly getting into a
213. 9:59trade like without a care there's an
214. 10:01issue where I do not my energy is like
215. 10:05too low then and I'm sort of using that
216. 10:08loss to pick up my energy and but then
217. 10:10I'm starting in a draw down so I think
218. 10:13what I have to do is just like do things
219. 10:15to bring my energy higher in the morning
220. 10:16like exercise go on a walk get that
221. 10:19sunlight I don't know pump up some music
222. 10:21or something because um I'm tired but
223. 10:24yeah like I have to do something to get
224. 10:27my energy up in the morning better
225. 10:29whether it's
226. 10:30exercise you know I'm trying to do the
227. 10:33walk in the sunlight thing as a bare
228. 10:35minimum but like I still have to do
229. 10:36something else like maybe I'll play some
230. 10:38music for myself before the trading
231. 10:39session starts cuz I have to just like
232. 10:42bring my energy up to take things more
233. 10:44seriously can I just lay here and just
234. 10:47forget the
235. 10:48world oh my God no cuz I have to start
236. 10:52back testing now anyway hope you guys
