0:00On today's podcast episode, we are
0:02joined by Kayn Trades.
0:04>> It was so many times where I would just
0:05sit in the car
0:07and I would just cry, bro. And I'd be
0:09like, "God, why the heck is this
0:11happening?" Like, I carried that
0:12scripture with me my whole adulthood.
0:15I'm walking in the things that I prayed
0:17for 10 years ago because you have to
0:19have
0:20inspiration and encouragement to be able
0:23to even get to the place of
0:25profitability. Me and my wife, we went
0:27from five streams of income to one. And
0:29we went to churches to get money like to
0:32be able to pay rent. They had chicken.
0:34They had uh fruits and vegetables. They
0:37had u
0:38uh diapers and wipes. Like they had all
0:40these different things by the grace of
0:42God.
0:43Being broke, man. Almost losing our town
0:46home, almost getting the cars we
0:48possessed, bro. like I constantly had to
0:51fuel myself
0:52with
0:54videos and content of seeing, okay, this
0:57person's doing it, this person's getting
0:59it done. You know, you there's outside
1:01noise and you just kind of have to shake
1:03it off, man. Like I I had a cousin tell
1:06me, you know, don't trade, you're going
1:08to get finessed, you're going to get
1:09scammed, like don't do it. And then I
1:11made 20 bands like
1:13a few weeks after. You know what I'm
1:14saying? Like asking God like, why is
1:16this happening? like what is going on in
1:18the car crying, bro.
1:20Big old 300lb man balling, crying.
1:24I felt like God told me that
1:28I bring you through that because I
1:30didn't want you preaching
1:31from theory and teaching from theory. I
1:34wanted you to teach through experience.
1:36>> That's good.
1:37>> Because of the people that I'm calling
1:38you to encourage, inspire,
1:41um, and and bless. Trading fam, this
1:43interview right here
1:45is for the person that feels as if life
1:49is testing them. The person that has big
1:51dreams and big aspirations, they have
1:54big
1:55goals
1:56around trading,
1:58but life right now is saying the
2:00opposite of what those goals are saying.
2:02This interview right here,
2:05I did it for you, fam.
2:07So, I want you to sit back and I want
2:09you to feel inspired
2:11because if God did it for one person, he
2:14can do it for you. Today's guest was
2:16literally at the food pantry. If you
2:18don't know what the food pantry is, he
2:20was literally at a place getting food
2:23donated to him and his family because he
2:25couldn't afford
2:27to buy it himself. But while he was at
2:29that food pantry, fam, he was listening
2:32to this very podcast, listening to
2:34similar stories that you're about to
2:36hear today,
2:38that got him motivated, that made him
2:40dream and believe that God is able to do
2:43it. Fam, it is my honor to present this

3:53Bro,
3:55>> bro, you are this show,
3:56>> man.
3:57>> You are this show. You are a
3:58representation of what this show means,
4:00bro. Let's get into it. Ladies and
4:02gentlemen, welcome back to the Trader
4:04Motivation Show, formerly the Forex
4:05Beginner Podcast. It's your boy Calvin
4:07checking in. Listen, y'all, today I got
4:09a guest in the building. I'm excited,
4:11man. We done already spent a few hours
4:13together. And let me tell you something,
4:15this ain't even an interview. This is a
4:17conversation.
4:19Ladies and gentlemen, in the building
4:21right now, all the way from the DMV,
4:24baby, Mr. Kalin
4:26Trades in the building, what's up?
4:29What's up, my brother?
4:30>> What's up, baby?
4:31>> Oh, man. Kayn, bro. So, let me tell you
4:33something about you, bro.
4:34>> Um, number one,
4:36>> and let me make sure I got my mic out of
4:38my pocket here cuz I don't need no
4:40audio. I don't need nothing messed up on
4:41this. No, you good. I don't need nothing
4:43messed up on this interview, bro. But
4:45let me tell you something about you,
4:46Katie.
4:48Bro, the thing about you that I love the
4:51most
4:52>> is that you bring hope.
4:54>> You are a staple, my brother,
4:56>> for hope. Belief that trading can and it
5:00will work
5:01>> if you put your faith in the right
5:02place.
5:03>> That's what you represent to me, bro.
5:05And I really want to dive into like,
5:08bro, where did this belief come from,
5:10bro? Yeah.
5:11>> As you're experiencing the different
5:13things that you had to go through and we
5:14going to get all up in between this
5:16story,
5:16>> but if we could just start, bro, like
5:19where does your belief, where does your
5:21optimism and your just, bro, you have so
5:23much like just joy inside of you, where
5:26does that come from in the spite of the
5:28adversity that you're currently facing?
5:30>> Wow. Bro,
5:31you know, my favorite scripture
5:34um
5:35is when Jesus says to a his disciples,
5:38"Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe
5:40you shall receive it and it shall be
5:42yours." I carried that scripture with me
5:44my whole adulthood, man. Like I was just
5:47telling my wife the other day, man, like
5:49I'm walking in the things that I prayed
5:52for 10 years ago, like financial
5:54abundance, healthy marriage, healthy
5:57happy kids. Like
5:59so, you know, I was just born like just
6:02first of all with that opt
6:04optimistic kind of trait, but it started
6:07getting nurtured once I dived into
6:09scripture like just a lot more about it,
6:11man. So that I feel like a lot of it
6:14comes from that, man. I think for for
6:18me in my
6:19trading journey specifically, bro, like
6:22you already know I told you on the phone
6:24already, bro, but
6:25you was a big part of that, bro. And you
6:28know, for
6:30for where
6:31I was at, bro, when I was
6:34trying to figure this thing out, man,
6:37it was it was three people specifically
6:40that I know for a fact. Like, if I
6:42needed encouragement for the day, I'm
6:45going to these three people. You were
6:46the number one person.
6:48>> Wow. And I told you this on the phone
6:50already, bro. But man,
6:53I was
6:54I would go to the pantry, the food bank,
6:56twice a week, and I would always put on
6:59the Forex Beginner podcast and I would
7:01either listen to one of the interviews
7:03or I would listen to just you in the car
7:06talking, bro. And
7:09just how this whole conversation came
7:11up. I told my community I wasn't going
7:13to cry
7:14cuz real G's, you know what I'm saying?
7:17We cry. We cry behind closed doors, you
7:19know.
7:22But man, like,
7:23bro, like
7:26I just wanted to start this conversation
7:28off, bro, by just saying thank you, man.
7:30>> Thank you for what you do for the space,
7:32bro. Thank you for even bringing these
7:34conversations back because I know the
7:37next generation of people who are trying
7:39to discover trading.
7:41They're going to
7:42have the hope and encouragement because
7:45Calvin is back in action with these
7:47interviews and these conversations and
7:49these these car talks, bro. So, thank
7:52you so much for
7:53um igniting something in me and giving
7:56me the motivation and inspiration to
7:58realize that,
7:59oh, I can I can do this, too. as a young
8:02black man who's finding success in the
8:05market, I can, you know, do that as
8:08well. So, thank you, bro.
8:09>> To God be the glory, bro.
8:11>> Bro, and I just want to tell you, man,
8:12like,
8:15>> like, as we discussed in the car, and
8:17this is going a little off of you real
8:19quick, but I just want to share this
8:21like
8:21>> I was really in a place where I was done
8:24doing these interviews.
8:25>> Yeah. Because when you look at the
8:27landscape of
8:29trading interviews and things like that,
8:32um
8:33you don't really see
8:36people that kind of relate to
8:39how we
8:41are dealing with life before we become
8:43profitable. Yeah.
8:45>> Um,
8:46and
8:48I thought that
8:50for some reason or another
8:54that
8:55people didn't want to hear our stories
8:57>> because when we look at interviews, we
8:59see the certain type of person all the
9:01time. Like if you look at trading
9:03interviews, it's the same type of person
9:05every time.
9:06>> And sometimes those type of people just
9:09don't relate
9:11>> with the person that's in the trenches.
9:13>> Yeah. that has a
9:14a baby, two babies
9:16>> y
9:16>> that's struggling trying to make it meet
9:19uh make ends meet.
9:21>> But then you have a person like a Kaylin
9:24>> that say, "Hey man, listen.
9:27I was at the food pantry."
9:29>> I was getting motivation.
9:30>> Hey,
9:31>> and I leveled up. I'm six figures plus
9:33in payouts.
9:34>> Yes.
9:35>> Like I found my setup.
9:37This simple setup. I'm rinsing and
9:38repeating. And we going to get into all
9:40of this stuff.
9:41>> And you did it.
9:42>> Yeah. But you don't look like
9:44the average type of person that's in an
9:46interview that we see today.
9:48>> But your story matters
9:50>> and it matters to the group of people
9:52that are watching this right now. And
9:54that's what this show is about. And you,
9:56brother, like I told you in the car,
9:58>> you
9:59are going to be the motivation that this
10:01show keeps going because you are a
10:03representation of why these interviews
10:06matter. I don't care what other people
10:08say. I don't care about all the other
10:10stuff and all the other stories and all
10:11the this and that. I don't care. Our
10:14stories matter. And the people that come
10:16on this platform, whether you believe
10:17what they say or you don't, somebody's
10:19being encouraged. And you were
10:21encouraged.
10:21>> Yes, sir.
10:22>> You were encouraged. Yes, sir.
10:24>> And that's why this platform will
10:25continue to be here.
10:26>> Cuz it's for us, bro.
10:28>> Yes, sir.
10:28>> It's for us.
10:29>> It's the reason I'm profitable, Calvin.
10:31Like, I'm serious, bro. like your show
10:34along with I credit it to one other
10:37person but your show is the reason that
10:40I am profitable because you have to have
10:43inspiration and encouragement
10:45>> to be able to even get to the place of
10:47profitability. Like you of course you
10:50have to have strategy, psychology, risk
10:52management, all that stuff. But you you
10:54have to believe it's possible. You know
10:55what I'm saying? Like if if it's if you
10:58don't believe that it's possible, you
10:59not going to get there. Amen.
11:01>> Like, you know what I'm saying? There's
11:02a certain threshold that you have to
11:04climb over to be able to get there. And
11:07I believe it's the understanding of
11:08believing that it's possible, bro. So, I
11:11credit that to you, man. I credit that
11:13to you.
11:14>> To God be the glory, bro. So, let's
11:15let's talk about cuz this is about you,
11:17man. This is about
11:19to my guy, bro. This my dude. This my
11:22brother, man.
11:23>> Bro, we definitely we definitely going
11:25to be well connected after this, bro.
11:27Like it's just like our energy is just
11:28so
11:30>> it's like
11:31>> we were friends before
11:33>> and we just reconnected again even
11:35though it's our first time meeting. You
11:37know what I'm saying?
11:38>> Well anyway um so
11:40>> like tell me this bro you're at the food
11:43pantry
11:43>> and for people that don't know what a
11:44food pantry is like explain that idea.
11:47What is a food pantry?
11:47>> So a food pantry is where you go
11:51to get donated food at a designated
11:54location. So,
11:56we was so broke.
11:58>> Uh, me and my wife, we went from five
12:00streams of income to one.
12:03>> Five streams of income.
12:04>> Five streams of income to one.
12:06>> What happened,
12:07>> man? A multitude of things happened. The
12:09big thing was that we had our second
12:11child.
12:12And so,
12:14you know, she took a break from, you
12:16know, things. And then, um, we were
12:18working for my dad's church as well. Um,
12:21and you know, just God
12:23that that season was up, you know what
12:24I'm saying? And so it she was working
12:27for the church as well. It's like, you
12:28know, so we had five solid streams of
12:30income. Um, I'm also an artist as well,
12:33like a Christian rap artist. Uh, so I
12:35was gigging and stuff too at the time,
12:37like, uh, making money from Spotify and
12:40all that stuff. So, you know, all these
12:42incomes. And I I was still making money
12:45here and there from Spotify, but what it
12:47it was going straight to bills, like,
12:49you know what I'm saying? Um, so a food
12:51pantry is
12:52the way that ours was set up is you
12:54would go on Monday and then they had one
12:56on Wednesday at a different location.
12:58And so, sorry, it was Thursday. So, I
13:00would go to the one on
13:02uh Mondays and Thursdays and they had
13:04like eggs,
13:05they had chicken, they had uh fruits and
13:08vegetables, they had um uh diapers and
13:11wipes, like they had all these different
13:12things. So, you know, my part of the
13:15city in the DMV,
13:17they just they were really good with
13:19that, you know, to be able to just
13:20provide that stuff for residences that
13:22need it, man. We went to churches to get
13:24money, like to be able to pay rent. And
13:28through that season of us
13:31being broke, man, almost losing
13:34our town home, um,
13:37almost getting the cars repossessed,
13:39bro. Like
13:40I
13:41we never
13:43went hungry and we never missed a rent
13:45payment by the grace of God.
13:48It don't make sense how
13:50we
13:53didn't get kicked out of our place. Bro,
13:57it was so many times where I would just
13:58sit in the car
14:00and I would just cry, bro. And I'd be
14:02like, "God, why the heck is this
14:04happening?" Like, I've served you my
14:06whole adulthood. Like I've been
14:09I've been in ministry my whole
14:10adulthood, Calvin. Like I
14:12serving youth, like working with
14:14organizations, trying to get young
14:16people to
14:18not just believe in Christ, but to just
14:21live better lives, bro. And
14:24so I'm just asking God like, why is this
14:26happening? Like what is going on? In the
14:28car crying, bro.
14:30Big old 300lb man balling, crying.
14:33And um
14:35I just felt like God
14:37revealed it to me last week of why
14:41he took me through that. He took us
14:43through that. I felt like God told me
14:45that
14:47I bring you through that because I
14:49didn't want you preaching
14:51from theory and teaching from theory. I
14:54wanted you to teach through experience.
14:56>> That's good.
14:57>> Because of the people that I'm calling
14:58you to encourage, inspire,
15:00um and and bless.
15:02And so that that's
15:05Yeah. Yeah.
15:07>> And you doing that, bro. You are like
15:09I've watched some of your videos
15:11>> um spying on you before,
15:13you know, I said to invite you for the
15:15show,
15:16>> but man, like that's what
15:18>> when you open your mouth,
15:21that's when I feel I feel inspired. I
15:24feel hope.
15:25>> I feel like you know
15:27>> the struggle. You understand what it's
15:30like to not have. How long was that
15:32period of
15:34of just like not having
15:37basic needs so to speak met? Like
15:40>> just how long were you in that desert
15:42season?
15:42>> It's probably a full year. Probably
15:44>> that's a long time to be
15:46>> in limbo
15:47>> with stability and things like that.
15:49>> Yeah. My wife called it our mana season.
15:52>> Oh, I love that.
15:53>> Yeah. Like
15:54God will provide
15:56>> what you need
15:57>> just for the day.
15:58>> Right on time,
16:00>> man. That's good.
16:01>> It was hard, bro.
16:03It was so hard. It, you know,
16:05I'm I'm so And God really worked on my
16:08faith in that season, too.
16:09>> Mhm.
16:10>> And that's why I feel like I can really
16:12trust God on a deeper level because of
16:14that season, man. Like my wife is full
16:16on.
16:18Let's just have faith. God's going to
16:19provide and he's going to do it. And my
16:22thing is faith without thy works is
16:23dead. If you don't work, you don't eat.
16:26And so in that moment of me trying to
16:27learn how to trade, I applied to like 40
16:29jobs.
16:30I didn't get one
16:32interview. Actually, I did get one
16:34interview. It was with the local rec
16:36center.
16:37They told me to turn my camera on. They
16:39didn't have their cameras on and they
16:41was just asking me a whole bunch of
16:42random questions that had nothing to do
16:44with it. I was like,
16:46I
16:46I don't know about this.
16:48>> Um,
16:49>> so yeah.
16:51The blessing though from it though
16:52Calvin like after that year
16:56I start becoming profitable
16:59it's really crazy bro because things
17:02kind of started shifting at the same
17:05time
17:06>> I become I'm starting to become
17:07profitable. Um
17:10it was around
17:14November where things really started
17:15clicking. I was like, "Oh,
17:17if I do this, if I wait, if I
17:19see this setup, if I do, so it starts
17:21clicking, right?" And then it was
17:23December
17:24where, you know, uh,
17:28sorry, it was August
17:31where I
17:32get a call to become a Bible teacher.
17:36>> So, I'm a part-time Bible teacher going
17:38to the school once a week. So, that's
17:40helping our finances tremendously. Then
17:42my wife gets a call
17:45uh to work at our church.
17:46>> And so finances are starting to come in.
17:48Like we're hitting the bare minimum,
17:50like the the bottom line, like, okay, we
17:52can pay our bills.
17:54We can kind of pay our our our car cuz
17:57we were still paying on it. Um all that
17:59stuff. And
18:02I become I start becoming profitable.
18:05Um
18:06and I passed my first eval.
18:09Mhm.
18:09>> I remember my wife said, "Babe, what do
18:12you want for Christmas?" This is in
18:14December. I said, "Bae, I just want
18:17>> the Topstep Eval plaque if I pass this
18:20eval." I still got that John in my
18:22house.
18:22>> That's beautiful.
18:24>> It's crazy. So, that's when it first
18:26started off.
18:27>> Mhm.
18:28>> And then, uh, of course, I blew it right
18:30after. I was devastated.
18:33>> No payout on that one.
18:34>> No payout on that joke.
18:35>> Oh my goodness. I, so when I say I
18:37started becoming profitable, I really
18:39mean like that's when it started
18:40clicking, like cuz
18:42there's tears, right? You have
18:43unprofitable, you have break even,
18:45profitable, consistently profitable.
18:47Like, I was at the place where I was
18:50kind of
18:51coming out of unprofitable in that break
18:53even stage, cuz I wasn't blowing the
18:55account but I wasn't passing it, like I
18:57wasn't getting the payout, but so I'm,
18:59you know, kind of up and down with it.
19:00And then,
19:01um,
19:02it was a couple months after I actually
19:04became like profitable, got the first
19:05payout out. Uh, it was a
19:08$1,000
19:10$10.
19:11>> He remembers the dollar amount.
19:12>> I Oh, yeah.
19:14Never going to forget that jump.
19:15>> I love it.
19:16>> Trading fam, I know you enjoying the
19:17podcast episode, but I want to share
19:19with you real quick how everyday traders
19:22like you and I can turn $320
19:25into over $250,000
19:28in funded trading capital. Follow me
19:31real quick. First thing you want to do
19:33is head over to blueguardian.com.
19:35Once you're on bluegardian.com, you want
19:37to select markets right here at the top.
19:39They have the option for you to choose
19:41between CFDs, which is traditional
19:43forex, or futures. For this example,
19:45we're going to go with futures. You're
19:46going to scroll down. Once you scroll
19:48down and it says choose your plan,
19:51you're going to select the reserve plan.
19:53Then you're going to go down and select
19:5550K account. There is absolutely no time
19:58limit. You can take your time. There is
20:00no activation fees. Now, here's where
20:02things get super sweet. Once we pass the
20:04evaluation and we make it over to the
20:06funded stage, this is where there is a
20:099010
20:10profit split. That's right. 90%of the
20:12payout to the trader, 10%
20:15back to the prop firm. Amazing. Next
20:17thing is
20:18once making it to funded stage, there is
20:21no need to build a buffer on your
20:24account. Also, there is no consistency
20:26rule in the funded account. To qualify
20:29for a payout, all we got to do is
20:31maintain at least
20:33$150
20:35over five trading days, and that will
20:38qualify us for our payout. As you can
20:40see, the reserve 50k account is $75.
20:44But if we just scroll down
20:46and we turn the quantity up to five
20:49accounts, we can get all five accounts,
20:52which will put our total
20:54capital, funded capital at 250,000.
20:57We can get that for 320.
20:59But here's how. Let's go ahead and hit
21:02start challenge.
21:04And once we hit start challenge and we
21:05go to checkout, what you're going to see
21:07is that the total is actually going to
21:09be 3.45. But that's where I'm going to
21:12be a blessing to you. I want you to go
21:14right here to where it says enter coupon
21:16code. Right there where it says enter
21:18coupon code, enter the coupon code,
21:20Calvin. That's C A L V I N.
21:24C A L
21:25V I N.
21:27Click apply.
21:28And once you do that, fam, that's going
21:30to bring that discount down and turn
21:33that price down to 320. So now you got
21:37five accounts for $320.
21:39And that's going to put you at $250,000
21:43of funded trading capital. And this deal
21:46is exclusively with blueguardian.com.

22:14situations.
22:14>> For real, bro.
22:16>> It's it's it's it's crazy. Um,
22:18>> nobody can hear you in that joke.
22:21I have this I have this joke with my
22:23wife.
22:24>> You know, she'll come downstairs
22:26and uh you know the meme online where
22:28they say like the pajamas that the wives
22:30have on when they like want to get busy.
22:33>> Oh yeah yeah yeah.
22:35>> So she'll come down and I'm like okay.
22:37I'm thinking all right. I'm thinking she
22:39trying to send a signal, right?

22:53sleep.
22:54>> It's there for me when I just need to
22:56just Man, I had a long day. You know
22:58what I'm saying? Like I just want the
22:59stress of the day to just fall off.
23:01>> And then thirdly, I think the shower is
23:02a great place to just spend time with
23:04God. You know what I'm saying? For sure.
23:06For sure. Did it this morning, man? Just
23:08thanking God this morning, bro. Like
23:10woke up at 5 this morning, you know, to
23:12get out here. Like I was like just God,
23:15what are you doing right now? like just
23:18moment of reflection. It really is. It
23:20really is. It's a
23:20>> beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing.
23:22So,
23:23>> when you guys were going through that
23:24hard financial time, did any family
23:26members know uh like what you guys were
23:28going through or were you just kind of
23:30keeping it to yourselves?
23:32>> Um
23:33yeah. Um
23:34her parents knew, my parents knew, we my
23:37aunt knew, you know,
23:42we started becoming a lot more private
23:44around that time. Um
23:48cuz there were a few people that like
23:51didn't understand what was happening.
23:53Like they you know how people either
23:55like project or they'll
23:58try to
24:00um
24:02speak insecurities out like we we were
24:05getting a lot of that man like and I
24:07really felt like it was opposition you
24:09know cuz we were trying you know what
24:11I'm saying? like I I I applied to 40
24:13jobs. Like we were trying, you know. Um
24:16so people didn't really understand. So
24:18we we got a few
24:20a few of that and I think we realized
24:22that okay, we probably need to
24:24pull back on just sharing this
24:26information. So that that's where we
24:27became a lot more like private about it.
24:30So even now like
24:31as we're in a financial thriving space,
24:34like we still keep that level of
24:37privacy. You know what I'm saying? Like
24:39even in my community, like right now,
24:41like I I don't share payouts anymore.
24:43Like I don't share
24:45um withdrawals. I I I will show gains
24:48sometimes like but I was doing it so
24:50heavy like when I first started posting
24:53online about like my journey,
24:55>> but
24:57>> she pulled me to the side and was like,
24:58"Honey, you got to stop doing that, man.
25:00Like it's people asking me for money."
25:02Like, you know what I'm saying? Like
25:04>> and I think that's the part
25:07>> that is not considered.
25:09>> Yeah.
25:10>> Because you know
25:12online
25:14wants you to be transparent about
25:16everything.
25:16>> Yeah.
25:17>> But online forgets that there's a real
25:20life.
25:20>> Yeah. Facts
25:21>> that you have to live.
25:22>> Yes.
25:23>> Every single day.
25:24>> Yes.
25:24>> And what online has to understand is
25:26that
25:28anybody can get on.
25:29Anybody can see.
25:31Right. So your neighbor
25:33>> Y
25:34>> could see everything
25:37that you're making from trading and
25:39never have a word to say to you.
25:41>> Yep.
25:42>> Because if you're just this transparent
25:44person and you're putting it out there,
25:46>> they can literally be counting some of
25:48your money.
25:48>> Yep. Facts. And I I we can't do that,
25:51man. Like we have to protect ourselves.
25:53You know what I'm saying? Like we're
25:54just in that season. like it's
25:57like it it it
25:59it
26:00hurt for a little bit because I felt
26:02like it would affect my credibility as a
26:04trader, as somebody who's profitable.
26:07But I think over time I realized that
26:09it's not
26:11even about
26:13me proving to to people that I can do
26:16this. It's really more of an ego thing
26:18of like, oh yeah, look, 10K, boom, look,
26:2120K, look. You know what I'm saying?
26:23It's really like me fueling the ego, but
26:25what it's also doing is
26:28it's exposing too much to people. It's
26:30like they're counting pockets. It's
26:31like,
26:32bro, like when I tell you it's like, and
26:35it's no shade to them, but it's like the
26:37amount of people, bro, that have asked
26:39me for money
26:41that I haven't talked to in like 10 plus
26:43years. Like, I'm still like you said,
26:45regular. Like, I'm not
26:48famous. Like, I'm not, you know what I'm
26:50saying? like there's still a certain
26:51level of access to me. You know what I'm
26:53saying? So it's
26:54it gets stressful. Like
26:57and even the people that I don't know,
26:59man, people ask me for money every
27:01single day.
27:02>> Yeah.
27:03>> Every day, bro. And it's like I
27:06I have to respond to DMs cuz it's like
27:08that's how I get people in my community.
27:10That's how like we grow what what we're
27:12doing. That's how we grow the movement.
27:14But it's like when there's 50 people
27:16asking for $30,000,
27:18like
27:19what are you talking about? Can you have
27:2130 bands? Like
27:23like bro, I got screenshots to prove it,
27:27bro. It's insane.
27:28But
27:29um Yeah. Yeah.
27:31>> Wow.
27:31>> Yeah.
27:32>> That's interesting.
27:34>> $30,000. Wow.
27:36>> Um
27:38>> but isn't it amazing though?
27:39>> Yeah. to see
27:41where you come from, literally in the
27:44food pantry,
27:45>> losing income streams,
27:48>> and to now be the person
27:51>> that people
27:53have the audacity and the confidence to
27:56ask for $30,000. It ain't like they
27:58asking for $3, $30,
28:00$300,
28:01$30,000.
28:03>> Crazy.
28:03>> Isn't that amazing how things can just
28:06switch like that?
28:07>> Insane, bro. And I mean like
28:10the financial abundance that we have
28:11now, you know, I said this in the car,
28:13but it's like
28:14this thing kicked off like eight months
28:16ago, bro. I probably had
28:20maybe
28:21eight bands on my account. You know what
28:23I'm saying? Just from a few payouts.
28:25>> Yeah.
28:26>> It's crazy now.
28:28>> It ain't crazy like that. Let me let me
28:30pull it back.
28:31>> Talk your talk.
28:33>> Pull it back. talk.
28:35>> It ain't crazy cuz I talk to other
28:37traders.
28:38>> Yeah.
28:38>> It ain't crazy.
28:39>> But it ain't about other traders. It's
28:41about you.
28:41>> For sure. For me, it's crazy.
28:43>> It's all about you.
28:44>> Yeah. Cuz I used to have to stretch $50
28:46a week.
28:47>> Exactly. Come on.
28:48>> Or a month. Sorry. You know what I'm
28:50saying? So, it is crazy. You know, um
28:53Yeah, bro.
28:54>> I love that, bro. So, let's walk through
28:56this.
28:57>> Um
28:58you're going through this
29:01>> horrible time, just tough financial
29:02time.
29:03>> Yeah. But you're believing.
29:04>> Yeah.
29:05>> What promises
29:07did you feel
29:09were inside of you that hey, I know
29:12that this is going to happen? Like what
29:14were you standing on? Walk us through
29:16what that looks like to believe
29:18something even when everything around
29:21you is saying the opposite.
29:23>> Yeah, that's good, man.
29:24>> Yeah. Um
29:27it it it was the Forex Beginner Podcast
29:30or formerly known as you know
29:32for uh uh Forest Beginner podcast man
29:35cuz cuz
29:36it
29:37again it was the understanding that okay
29:40this is possible for other people like
29:42there's other people doing this.
29:44So I I
29:46constantly had to fuel myself
29:49with
29:50videos and content of seeing, okay, this
29:53person's doing it. This person's getting
29:55it done.
29:56>> It took this person this long. So, I,
29:59you know, even in my study because I'm,
30:01I get so
30:02invested in something when I'm
30:04interested, like, I, I already had in my
30:07mind that, okay, this probably going to
30:08take two to three years to figure out
30:10because I
30:11noticed the pattern
30:14that I was seeing from people was that,
30:16oh yeah, I became profitable after my
30:18second year; I became profitable after
30:20my third year. So I you know I I
30:22anticipated it. So I think for me it was
30:25really just weather,
30:27but also the times where I felt like
30:28quitting. Like,
30:30what's talking about this week?
30:32For real
30:34,what what, shoot, what's Juvier talking
30:36about this week? What's Swag talking
30:37about? What's uh FX Carlos talking about
30:40this week? Like what, what are all these
30:41people talking about that I know can
30:43fuel me up to get me to where what's
30:46Doyle talking about? You know what I'm
30:47saying? like what are all these people
30:49talking about that I know can fuel me up
30:52to get me
30:53to the point of
30:55constantly believing that this is
30:56possible. You know what I'm saying?
30:58>> So yeah,
30:59>> that's what it looked like.
31:00>> Yeah.
31:01>> So spiritually
31:02>> Yeah.
31:04>> because you are
31:05very firm
31:07>> in what you believe.
31:08>> Yeah.
31:09>> What was happening spiritually? Like did
31:12you ever doubt
31:13>> God?
31:14I did.
31:15>> Um
31:16>> Okay. I did. I did. And my wife had to
31:19always keep me in check cuz she's the
31:21faith filled one.
31:24And I think like
31:26at the time, bro, I was mad at God, bro.
31:29Um,
31:30and I never would admit it cuz I always
31:32hated when people said, "I'm mad at
31:34God." It's like, "Bro, you alive right
31:35now. What you mean you mad at God?" But
31:38man, like I I think I was mad at God,
31:40bro. Not I think I know I was, bro.
31:42Like,
31:44>> but I but I I've seen God be good, man.
31:47Like, in the past, like I
31:49I just seen the patterns of things that
31:51God has done for me in the past. So, I
31:53knew I wasn't forsaken.
31:55So, it's probably less anger. It was
31:57probably more disappointment, you know?
31:59It was like,
32:00thank God, like, we really going through
32:02this. Like, this is
32:04this sucks, man. Like,
32:06shoot, I blew another account. I follow
32:09my trading plan. This sucks, man. you
32:11know, um,
32:13>> so it's more disappointment. Um,
32:17and God, he had to rip that out of me,
32:19man. Like just even the the slightest
32:22hint of doubt, like just like I don't
32:24even think God really want me doing
32:26this. Like God will always rip me out of
32:27it because bro, I probably quit trading
32:30like 20 times. Like I probably quit this
32:32job 20 times, bro. Man, I quit. I'm done
32:35with this crap, man. Forget this crap,
32:37man. I'm drop shipping now, bro.
32:39I'm affiliate marketer, man. Forget this
32:42crap, man. But it's like God kept
32:44pulling me to it. You know what I'm
32:45saying? Like,
32:47>> so those times where you quit,
32:49how long did those moments last?
32:51>> One day.
32:54One day,
32:56man. I quit on Wednesday, bought another
32:59on Thursday.
33:02>> We back.
33:03>> Yeah, we right back. We right back, man.
33:05Forget I ain't quitting. I ain't no
33:06quitter, you know. And and but I always
33:08felt like God like, you know, uh uh uh I
33:11I would hear uh Kelly OG say this a lot.
33:14You need to have market tuition. You got
33:16to get that market tuition. And
33:18it was just some it was things like that
33:20that would just constantly remind me
33:21like
33:22you you going you going to blow
33:23accounts, bro. Like it's part of it.
33:25Like if you're trading evals
33:28and you have $2,000 of draw down, you go
33:31even now, Calvin. Like to this day, I be
33:34blowing evals. You know what I'm saying?
33:35like if my in and which you know I I
33:39need to up what I do now cuz I do like
33:41100 I do 50k accounts. I need to like up
33:43it more.
33:44>> Why do you feel and it's crazy like I
33:47want you to continue but I want to jump
33:48in there though.
33:49>> Why do you feel that you need to up like
33:51the eval?
33:53>> So
33:54I because of the draw down. The only
33:56reason why I do 50k accounts
33:59let me give you the play. So this the
34:00play this this this this what I tell
34:02people that that you got to do right.
34:04So, you get one account, right? And
34:06preferably it'll be a 50k account. You
34:08pass that eval, you get a payout, you
34:11get two more. Of course, pay the trader,
34:13but
34:14save for two more. So, now get those two
34:16funded, get payout on all three,
34:19get three more. So, now you continue to
34:22compound until you have at least 10 like
34:24prop firm funded accounts. When you're
34:27copy trading all of those accounts, you
34:29make a $100 a day, that's a,000. You
34:31make a,000 a day, that's 10. So if
34:33you're compounding all these accounts,
34:35the payouts are much much more.
34:38>> Yeah.
34:38>> I think
34:40for me
34:41when I realize that, okay, I dropped the
34:43ball on on this trade, like cuz I try to
34:45risk like five to make
34:49a,000 or 15, like depending on what the
34:51market's doing. Sometimes I'll scale in
34:53deeper, go a little more aggressive.
34:54Like I'll risk like a,000 to try to make
34:57two. You know what I'm saying?
34:58per account, which would equal out to
35:01like 10 20 bands depending on how much
35:03I'm copying.
35:04>> Um, so
35:05that's kind of the the play of how I do
35:07it. So what I recommend that people do
35:10is that they start with one,
35:12>> try to compound to get to 10,
35:15copy all of them, and
35:18get payouts. The reason why I like prop
35:20firms a lot more than the personal
35:22account. Of course, talk to your local
35:23CPA,
35:24but um
35:26you know, you get taxed differently, you
35:28know, um
35:29you get taxed as a contractor, right?
35:33Yeah. So, like it's it's not the capital
35:35gain. So, the percentage is a lot
35:37significant. When you blow an account,
35:39you can write that off. Like, you know,
35:41all it's a lot of stuff that that you
35:43know that plays a factor in it. So, for
35:45me,
35:46um
35:47I that's just kind of my bag. You know
35:49what I'm saying? Like that's where I
35:50found the most success at. And um that's
35:52what I encourage people to do,
35:53especially if they're beginners. Like
35:55instead of
35:56putting $2,000 in the market, go blow
36:00$70 versus 2,000.
36:02And you know what I'm saying? Hit that
36:03reset button. Like, you know,
36:06I'm friends with that reset button, boy.
36:10But
36:11you know, so that's that's just Yeah.
36:14So,
36:14I think that's that's really like
36:18the best play for beginners, like for
36:20people who are trying to
36:22um figure out how to scale a lot quicker
36:24>> cuz you know like when when you started
36:26and like the people that you guys
36:27interview like you know that you
36:29interviewed like
36:30>> they didn't there wasn't prop firms back
36:31then you know what I'm saying like y'all
36:33y'all had to get it from the trenches.
36:35It's easy for us now. You know what I'm
36:37saying? Like
36:38>> No, I did prop firms.
36:39>> Oh, you did?
36:40For sure. For sure.
36:41>> Oh, you did? Okay. So the people before
36:43you did. Okay.
36:44>> I just
36:45personally I just started putting my own
36:47money in the market maybe like 2 and a
36:48half years ago.
36:49>> Really? Okay.
36:50>> But from 21
36:52first funded account was
36:54October 1st,
36:552021.
36:56>> Oh wow.
36:57>> From that point up until
36:59>> I want to say
37:01up until
37:03>> like somewhere in 24.
37:05>> Yeah.
37:06>> It was just straight P firms.
37:08>> Really? Okay. Yeah. So, I'm still in
37:10that stage like, you know, cuz I I've
37:12only been profitable for like two years.
37:15You know what I'm saying?
37:15>> I mean, that's that's good. That's
37:17consistency for sure.
37:19>> Yeah. Yeah.
37:19>> So, let me So,
37:22>> the 50K
37:23>> Yeah.
37:24>> My thoughts on it is that I think
37:26mathematically the 50ks are the ones
37:29that make the most sense.
37:30>> Yeah, for sure.
37:31>> Because you got 2K draw down and you
37:32only got to make 3K.
37:34>> Yeah,
37:34>> that's that's good.
37:36>> Yeah. I saw some
37:38150k accounts where I think draw down is
37:41what? 4K.
37:42>> Yeah.
37:42>> But you got to make 9K.
37:44>> You know what I'm saying? So, that's
37:45true.
37:46>> Yeah. Like, like the 50K is like the the
37:48sweet spot.
37:48>> Yeah, that is true.
37:49>> You know, that's true
37:50>> because you're risking 2K to make 3K.
37:52That's
37:53>> that's easier to
37:54>> Yeah. Yeah, that's true.
37:55>> You know, I don't know.
37:56>> No, no, that's good. That's really good.
37:58I think
38:00>> and it's more cost effective, too.
38:02cuz most of the 50k accounts like you
38:05not going to pay over 120 for them.
38:07>> Exactly.
38:07>> You know what I'm saying? For these
38:08150s. That's why like
38:11>> bro I'm I'mma seek therapy but it's like
38:13bro I still be feeling like I'm broke.
38:15Like I'll still move like it. So I'm
38:18like dang like which is good too. It's
38:20good too. You know what I'm saying? But
38:22it's like dang 120. Like ouch. But I
38:25like forget it. Like you know what I'm
38:27saying? Like we're good now. you know,
38:29but it's like when I think about, oh
38:31man, like I got to put on 120. It it's
38:33it's something that that's kind of
38:35triggering about it. I I can't pinpoint
38:36it yet, but I know it's
38:38>> I know it's attached to some sort of
38:40financial trauma. You know what I'm
38:42saying? So,
38:43>> but then also too, like you mentioned,
38:44like you still lose
38:47>> some accounts.
38:48>> Yeah.
38:49>> So, it could be that you know the prop
38:52firm
38:53like how is the system is set up.
38:55>> Yeah.
38:57You're going to lose some before you
38:59make.
39:00>> Yeah.
39:01>> And
39:02how our tendency is with prop firms,
39:05especially on
39:06the future side,
39:08it's so
39:09like a eval is so disposable, so to
39:11speak.
39:12>> So disposable.
39:12>> And you don't want to spend too much
39:14time on it.
39:15>> Fact.
39:15>> So it's like once you get like less than
39:19a thousand in draw down, you just like,
39:21okay, we'll just recycle like, okay,
39:22move on to the next one. And so it could
39:24be our mentality as well, like we're
39:26just looking to move and then we're such
39:28in a system that we know, okay,
39:31>> out of three evals I take, I know
39:32guaranteed I'm going to pass one out of
39:34the first three.
39:35>> So boom, I'mma pass that one or I'm
39:36going to pass two out of the first
39:38three. And then out of those two, one is
39:40going to make it to a payout. And then
39:41boom, that payout will make up all the
39:44expenses and put me in profit. So our
39:46mind is kind of used to that. And so we
39:49just don't take the due diligence to go
39:51through it the right way the way we
39:53would if it was
39:54>> like a 50k personal account.
39:56>> No, it's true. It's very true. So it's
39:58very true. And one of the things that I
40:00tell people when they are doing
40:03eval because
40:05>> a lot of people when they get funded,
40:08which
40:09I've done this before too, they'll get
40:11funded and blow the account right after.
40:14It's because there's evals are
40:16disposable, right? And
40:18it's one of those things where we're
40:19hustling so hard to get funded. Like
40:22like you said, we're not trying to sit
40:23on it all day. Like for me, if I don't
40:25pass it, if I buy Eval on Monday and I
40:28don't pass it by Friday, I'm full
40:29porting and starting over.
40:32One of my coaches told me I don't go uh
40:35this is so bad.
40:37One of my coaches, he said, "We don't go
40:39into the uh uh into the weekend with
40:41draw down. That's illegal."
40:46That's a shirt.
40:47>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to the
40:49weekend with draw down. If I'm in draw
40:50down, we full party. We passing or
40:53blowing this day.
40:55>> Shout out to Coach Jason, man. But yeah,
40:57that's Yeah.
40:58>> Hey, I got a question.
41:00>> Yeah.
41:03As a man of faith, is it
41:05is it
41:09disheartening or
41:11is it is it a sin to full port on
41:13Sunday?
41:14>> Oh my god.
41:15Ooh,
41:17it might be though.
41:18>> When the market open, is it a le is a
41:21sin
41:22in the spirit to full port on a Sunday?
41:26>> It might. It depend on what the motive
41:28is though.
41:29>> Depend on what the motive depend on what
41:30the motive is. The issue of the heart.
41:32>> Yeah, the issue of the heart. Come on.
41:33>> Oh, God.
41:34>> Tighten up.
41:35>> All right. Go ahead. Continue, man.
41:36>> Need deliverance on that jump.
41:39>> Yeah, man.
41:41So, so yeah, that So, because people are
41:44so heavy in the grind of trying to pass
41:46a eval, they take that to the funded
41:49stage. And
41:51cuz I talk to people all the time about
41:53this, like I don't understand why I'm
41:56getting funded and then I'm blowing the
41:58account as soon as I, you know, pass the
42:01eval. It's like you're carrying the same
42:03mentality
42:05as you were with the eval.
42:07>> Yeah.
42:08>> You need to baby step that John. Like I
42:10would even say
42:11when you get funded,
42:13if it's a I don't care what account I
42:15don't even care that it could be a thous
42:17a million dollar, I don't care. Make a
42:20$100 a day for the first couple days
42:22first.
42:23Baby step that jump. Risk $100 to make
42:27150. Like baby step it so you especially
42:30if it's your first time cuz you need to
42:32know what it feels like
42:34>> and to pull restraint. I don't care if
42:35the market is trending in the most
42:37obvious direction is rejecting off of
42:40every single PD. I don't care what's
42:42happening. like
42:44make take the baby steps so that you're
42:48not rushing the process. The market's
42:50always going to be here.
42:52That account might not be though. You
42:53know what I'm saying? So, you have to
42:56take the baby steps so that you're doing
42:58it.
42:59And I would even say like for the first
43:01week, don't
43:02don't try to get the payout on the first
43:04week. Like, and this is just for people
43:06who struggle with
43:08getting a payout after getting funded.
43:11>> Mhm. Which is a lot of people, like you
43:13know the, percentage like
43:15the percentage goes down more and more
43:16and more the, you know, the further
43:18along you are on the prop journey. But
43:20it's like
43:21baby step that, Joe, man. You know, you
43:23have to you have to, um, don't try to
43:25get a payout on the first week, like.
43:28>> get adjusted and used to it first and
43:30remember the payout the first payout is
43:33not going to get you the house
43:35>> like the first payout's not going to get
43:36you the car it's not going to retire you
43:39from your job like
43:41baby steps. Like that's what people
43:42really struggle with.
43:44>> Use that payout to get two more prop
43:47firm accounts.
43:48>> Reinvest.
43:49>> Reinvest.
43:49>> I like that.
43:50>> It's a business. This is what Calvin
43:52says all the time in his videos. This is
43:55your trading business. So, but yeah,
43:58>> I like that, bro. Ooh. So good. Okay.
44:00So, now now let's get into this moneym.
44:05Okay. So,
44:06um,
44:08when did you finally settle? Okay, so
44:11here's the question I really want to
44:13ask.
44:13>> Yeah.
44:15>> When you were not profitable?
44:16>> Yeah.
44:17>> Was it more of a I'm trying to figure
44:19out which strategy works best for me
44:23or was it a psychology thing
44:25>> at first? At first.
44:26>> Yeah. At first it was the strategy, like
44:29what strategy works best.
44:31So, when did you lock in with the
44:34strategy that you're using now?
44:36>> So, I actually made a video about it and
44:38it it was a video that Juviier
44:41Gyms put out.
44:42>> Okay.
44:42>> And he put out a video where he said how
44:45to discover your own strategy. It was
44:48something along the lines of that. And
44:50he was just giving the steps of this is
44:54what you do to develop your own
44:56strategy. This is how you find cuz I've
44:57tried everything, bro. Like I tried
45:00supply and demand. Like I tried smart
45:02money concepts. ICT was too boring, bro.
45:04Like that he it was too. Now I know
45:07people that cook with ICT. You know what
45:09I'm saying? So I and I know people hate
45:10on it. If it work for you, bro, it work
45:12for you. Like all right. Dang, bro. Like
45:14you know what I'm saying? But for
45:17like them videos is too slow, bro. I
45:18ain't had the patience for it, bro. My
45:20daughter crying in the background.
45:23He talking slow. I gota put it on two
45:26times speed. I ain't trying to hear all
45:27that, man. I would I would actually to
45:30learn actually watch summaries of other
45:32people teaching it. You know what I'm
45:33saying? Cuz they just taught it. They
45:35were more exciting with it. I And it's
45:37no disc to them, bro. But it's like, you
45:39know, it was just hard. It was a hard
45:40watch. Um I had
45:43liquidity
45:45uh you know, understanding that that was
45:47actually the big one that clicked
45:49everything for me like when I learned
45:50liquidity. Uh, and I felt like God was
45:53telling me to learn liquidity and I was
45:54putting it off for a long time. And it
45:56took me two weeks to actually understand
45:59liquidity. Uh, and when I did, that's
46:02when
46:03things really clicked. So, it was like a
46:05little after November. Um, and then I
46:07passed my first EVA. So, liquidity
46:08helped. Um,
46:10so I went through all the all of that
46:12stuff. So, what I do now
46:15>> cuz I was doing this thing called the
46:17continuation.
46:18>> Okay.
46:18>> Um,
46:19>> explain that. So the continuation is
46:22where you're on the one minute time
46:23frame only. So I start when when I first
46:26became profitable was with a five-minute
46:28strategy. Uh I was trading the fair
46:30value gap after a breaker structure. Um
46:33it
46:34it would liquidate an original or it
46:37would liquidate the most recent fair
46:39value gap tap me in
46:43in a fair value gap that liquidated it.
46:45So I was calling it fair value gap
46:47liquidity which is really crazy. um it
46:49would tie me in and reject worked a lot.
46:51You had to be patient for it. You had to
46:53wait for it
46:54>> for me.
46:55I'm like, "Nah, like let's go. Let's
46:57move." So the continuation and mind you,
46:59I put that in the course
47:00>> and I felt like I I was charging 400 for
47:02it cuz I didn't know what I was doing. I
47:03was just like, "Let me just I charge 400
47:06for that junk. Like it's game. That junk
47:07got me funded. Got my first payout. Oh
47:09yeah, pay for this." I felt like God
47:10said, "Give that thing for free."
47:12>> I was like,
47:14>> you know, the situation was just in God.
47:16What you mean give it for free? All
47:17right. Yes, sir. Um
47:19then I had another one.
47:21>> Mhm.
47:21>> I was like, "All right, they can add
47:22that jump. I'm using this strategy now.
47:24It's the one minute continuation." So
47:26what I would do is I would wait for a
47:27strong push in the market
47:29and
47:30it was super simple. It had to trend in
47:33a direction. It had to break uh external
47:36structure. What I would do is wait for
47:38one fair value gap to get tapped
47:41cuz I trade fair value guys.
47:42>> Explain the fair value gap before you
47:44finish that.
47:45>> Yeah. So fair value gap is an imbalance
47:46in the market. It's a three candle
47:48pattern. So you have
47:50first candle, second candle, third
47:52candle. You know how the wicks
47:55typically overlap with each other in the
47:57market? Like if you have
48:00even five candles, wicks typically
48:02overlap with each other. Correct?
48:03>> So with the fair value gap, it's when
48:05the when the first wick and the third
48:07wick do not touch each other. So it
48:09leaves what's called an imbalance of the
48:10market. It's a gap in the market. And
48:13what happens is
48:15I think of it like this.
48:17Fair value gap is like imagine you're at
48:19Disney World because we out Orlando,
48:21baby. We out of Orlando. And you're
48:23like,
48:24I want to ride that ride over there. And
48:26so you're running to go to the ride.
48:28Your wallet falls out of your pocket
48:30and you're like, "Shoot, where am I?"
48:33And you turn around, you grab your
48:34wallet,
48:36you pick your wallet up, and you run to
48:39the ride. So you're going back to pick
48:42your wallet up and then you're going
48:44That's what happens in the market. like
48:45there's money inside of these imbalances
48:48because it's moving so fast. What does
48:50happen though, and it's the reason why I
48:52kind of paused cuz I wanted to see which
48:54direction I wanted to go.
48:55You could be running towards this. Your
48:57wallet falls out of your pocket. You go
48:59back, grab your wallet, and you realize
49:01I don't want to ride that ride anymore.
49:03I'm going to go this way. So, that's
49:05what a lot of people get faked out at
49:06because they think every fair value gap
49:09gets rejected off of and it doesn't.
49:10Like, you have to pick the right fair
49:12value gaps. So, anyway, that that's what
49:14a fair value gap is. So,
49:16if you guys go gold right now
49:18>> or even NASDAQ,
49:20>> okay,
49:21>> you will see fair value gaps all over
49:24the place.
49:24>> What time frame are you looking for fair
49:26value gaps on?
49:26>> You could do any time frame. I now I
49:28would I would say you'll probably see
49:30them most on the one minute. Um, but
49:32yeah, I
49:35yeah, I primarily trade on the one, but
49:36you'll see it all throughout like cuz
49:39you know price is fractal, right? So,
49:40you can see it everywhere. So,
49:42>> um
49:43>> yeah. So
49:44you had the first fair value you got
49:46boom
49:47second f value got boom you answer off
49:49the third one go from one to two boom
49:52and what you notice was on a higher time
49:55frame like the 1 hour
49:57you would see that price is pushing in
49:59one direction but it's trending on a
50:01lower direction. So you so what somebody
50:04sees as a big push down or a big push up
50:07on the lower time frame you're seeing
50:09retracement you're seeing push
50:11retracement push retrace. So, we're just
50:13we're really just taking advantage of of
50:15the trend. You know what I'm saying?
50:17You're getting in and out before the
50:19retracement.
50:20>> It worked for a little bit. What
50:22happened was I realized that
50:26>> I need to wait for price to break higher
50:28time frame structure.
50:29>> Come on. Market structure, baby.
50:31>> Come on. Hello.
50:32>> Come on.
50:32>> And so, that's where the strategy I use
50:35now is
50:36where it's
50:37it borrows from the continuation.
50:40Um
50:42but what we're doing is we need price to
50:45break structure first.
50:47>> What time frame?
50:48>> 15 minute.
50:48>> Okay.
50:49>> But you can do this on the hour and you
50:52can execute on the five. So in my course
50:54I talk about the different time frames
50:56that you can use. So it's it's really a
50:59higher time frame strategy. We just
51:01execute on the lower time frame.
51:03>> I really tell people that
51:05my strategy in its essence is really a
51:0815minute strategy. but you answer on the
51:11one minute, you know. So, that's the way
51:13that I kind of wrap it
51:14because I'm really looking at what's
51:16happening on the higher time frame and
51:18I'm I'm just getting a quick entry
51:20on the one minute.
51:23This is going to sound crazy, Calvin.
51:25>> Listen, I I probably heard crazier.
51:27>> Okay.
51:27>> Sitting in this chair
51:28>> and I got proof like I got I got video
51:30recording, screenshots, everything.
51:32>> Talk to me.
51:33>> I trade on the 15 seconds sometimes,
51:35bro.
51:35>> Interesting. So, I have I have seen
51:40um
51:40this guy trade
51:42and he takes entries off the 15 second.
51:45>> It's fun.
51:47>> Okay. So, if you did
51:49Okay, when you take entries off the
51:5115-second chart,
51:53let's say you were getting ready to take
51:55an entry right now.
51:56>> Okay.
51:58>> If you used a mini or do you use a mini?
52:01>> Uh it depends. It depends. So if you use
52:03a mini on ENQ,
52:05>> okay, the NASDAQ,
52:06>> if you use a mini, which is the
52:08largest
52:09>> like contract size you can take, you
52:11know, out of the two in futures, you
52:13have micros, you have minis, and the
52:14minis are the big boys.
52:16>> So if you took out one mini on INQ
52:19>> and and you're trading off the 15sec,
52:23where do you normally place your stop
52:24loss
52:25and how much would that
52:27be? So, my stop loss is typically at a
52:30swing high or a swing low.
52:33>> Mhm.
52:36>> It's around three or four.
52:37>> Three or $400.
52:39>> No, three or four minis.
52:40Three. Three. Three minis or four. Like
52:43that's how much
52:44>> you would put in.
52:44>> Yeah. That's how much I would put in the
52:46stop loss.
52:46>> But if you did one mini?
52:48>> Yeah.
52:48>> What dollar amount would your stop loss
52:50be if you did one mini?
52:51>> On average probably be like 250.
52:54>> That is good.
52:55>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That is really
52:57serious.
52:58>> It is. It is. And you know uh with the
53:01micros cuz you know you can scale even
53:03more. So instead of 250 you'd be like I
53:06want to be like 230. You know what I'm
53:07saying? Like you know whatever. Um
53:09that's dope.
53:10>> Yeah. It's cool. It's cool. So yeah.
53:12>> When did you start going down to the 15
53:14seconds?
53:14>> It was when I got cooked on the one
53:16minute really bad on my actual live
53:18account. So I was like,
53:20it this when I was trading, like, so I
53:23was trading prop firms at first. Then I
53:25tried a live account, like, so what I
53:27was able to do
53:29was I put in three bands into a live
53:31account, I took it to like eight,
53:33withdrew that, took, withdrew five, took
53:35it back to three, and, um,
53:40man, I got cooked so bad, bro. I was so
53:44mad,
53:45like, I, I could just recall, it is just
53:48still remember I was, I got cooked and I
53:50was like,
53:51"I know price is trying to go in this
53:53direction, like why is it playing, like
53:55it's fighting with you?"
53:56>> It was fighting. It was one of those
53:58things like and I waited for a long time
54:00for it. You know how sometimes you wait
54:01for for a long time. You know what I'm
54:03saying?
54:03>> Pass your trading time bro. Like
54:06everything is like come on bro. I know
54:07this don't go ahead. Let me just get one
54:09more ban. I need one more. And um
54:12>> I dropped down to the 15sec. I lost like
54:141,500. Um, so I only had 1500 left until
54:18I got margin call, you know, and uh
54:22I dropped down to the 15 second.
54:25I was like, dang. You So, you know, uh,
54:28do you place trades on Trading View?
54:29>> Do I play what?
54:30>> Like place trades on Trading View?
54:32>> Um, not recently since I stopped uh
54:34trading with uh the US regulated brokers
54:36on the Forex side.
54:37>> Okay. Okay.
54:38>> I haven't in a while.
54:39>> Okay. So
54:40when you enter trades
54:42>> uh on trading view they have uh the
54:45arrows
54:45>> correct.
54:46>> So it shows you
54:47>> how many tra
54:50like 50
54:53if you if you zoomed out bro like the 15
54:56minute bro
54:58like arrows just stacked on top of each
55:00other. So now I'm feeling bad. I'm like
55:03dang I'm I'm really this is bad like you
55:06know I'm getting smoked. Um, I dropped
55:09to the 15 second row.
55:11>> Yeah.
55:12>> And
55:14long story short, man, like I made all
55:16that back in this song. Like all the
55:17money back this time and I ended up,
55:19>> you know, uh, withdrawing the additional
55:22money. Um, then I took a break, took it
55:25all out, then went back to P firms. But,
55:27um, that was the moment I realized, oo,
55:29I like the 15.
55:30>> So, that's what you're like doing like
55:32as of recent.
55:33>> So, I go from the 15 minute to the 15
55:35seconds. It's too fast for a lot of
55:37people. So I I actually tell beginners
55:40now go from the 15minut. So if you look
55:42for a higher low in the market that's
55:44how we do it now. Look for a higher low
55:46in the market. Doesn't matter what time.
55:47It's not the orb. It's not at a specific
55:49time. Anytime you see a higher low in
55:52the market on the 15minute
55:55once it crosses it you drop down to the
55:571 minute.
55:58Or if you're a super beginner you need
56:00slower price action drop to the 3
56:01minute. So we have a bot right? We have
56:03the breakaway bot. The best settings for
56:06the bot right now, just currently right
56:08now, is the 3minut. A couple weeks ago
56:10was the one minute, you know. So, we're
56:12constantly observing and seeing which
56:14one's the best, but right now it's micro
56:17gold on the 3minut.
56:19>> And
56:20so, it breaks through that line. You got
56:24a fair value right under there. We enter
56:26on that gap. Go for a two.
56:28>> That's it. So,
56:28>> so that's your average risk-to-reward
56:30like two times your risk.
56:31>> Yeah. That that So,
56:33yeah. And you know, like being a trader
56:35first and a teacher second, like what a
56:38lot of people don't understand is you
56:40have to account for
56:42everything. Like sometimes it's just
56:44market intuition. You know what I'm
56:46saying? But you have to explain that.
56:48You know what I'm saying? You It's like
56:49no, some people need how much is my
56:51risk? Like I could tell you where stop
56:52loss could be,
56:53>> but you know what I'm saying? Like what
56:55how how far does this need to go down?
56:57And because we're in Trump's market, you
56:59know what I'm saying? Like and tariffs
57:01like all this stuff. I I'm preaching
57:04base hits, man. Like, stop trying to
57:07go for 15 Rs, bro. Like, what are you
57:10doing? Like, stop, bro. Like, and you
57:13wondering why you're not profitable,
57:14bro.
57:16You going anyway. So, like, yeah. So, um
57:20yeah, go for them basics, man. Be like
57:22one to one, one to two. So, I'm I'm I
57:24I'm landing now where we're at currently
57:26right now. I'm finding more success with
57:29going for the 2 R. So for me personally,
57:31I go from the 15 minute crosses 15
57:34second entry
57:36to R. I'm done for the day.
57:37>> Done for the day.
57:38>> I got cooked last night though. I ain't
57:39get cooked but I lost.
57:40>> Yeah. So yeah. So I was going to ask
57:42that next.
57:43>> Yeah.
57:43>> Do you have a trading time?
57:46>> Yeah, man. So I'I've been trading Asian
57:48session for a long time. Asian session
57:50gold
57:53for a while
57:55was doing so good. It was slept on.
57:59As of late, bro,
58:01it's been trash. Like,
58:04>> she move when she want to move.
58:05>> She move when she want, bro.
58:07So,
58:08um
58:09>> I think uh
58:12>> and I told you this in the car, like I
58:14took a break in August. Like,
58:15>> business is growing. Like, people need
58:18help. Hire new people. It's like a lot
58:21going on.
58:23I needed a break from trading, bro. You
58:25know what I'm saying? So, um I'm just
58:27now coming back. This is like my first
58:29official week coming back. Like I tested
58:31the waters a little bit last week. Made
58:33a couple, you know what I'm saying? A
58:34little US. But, um before my break, like
58:36I got a payout with Lucid and then I was
58:39like, I'm I'm I'm done. Let me chill for
58:40a little bit. Like, let me
58:42>> speaking of those prop firms, man. So,
58:44walk me through
58:46>> how many firms have you gotten payout
58:48with?
58:50So when I say payouts, like these are
58:53actual
58:55>> y
58:56>> money, dollars,
58:57>> yep,
58:58>> being transferred to you.
59:00>> Yeah.
59:00>> Because you've been able to pass
59:02valuations and then grow the funded
59:04accounts.
59:05>> Okay. So the first one was Topep.
59:07>> Okay.
59:09>> I left Topstep because they uh got rid
59:12of their partnership with Trade of
59:14U. Um so they had their own platform.
59:17>> Yeah. which scarred me because I started
59:19in Forex.
59:21So you remember how like
59:23the whole stuff with Forex was happening
59:26and like
59:27people started having to use their own
59:29platforms. So I really struggled with
59:31that. Um cuz I I got burnt by a Forex
59:34plat firm and like
59:36bro I entered a trade, bro,
59:39it was like 0.03
59:42lots.
59:43As soon as I entered the trade, it was
59:45no news or nothing. I was negative $300,
59:48bro.
59:48>> That's insane. What were you trading?
59:50>> Huh?
59:51>> What were you trading? Like US30?
59:53>> It wasn't dirty 30, bro.
59:55>> The dirty 30,
59:57bro. It was dirty 30.
59:59>> I don't even I think it was GJ probably
1:00:01cuz that like to this day
1:00:03>> GJ get busy now.
1:00:04>> Yeah, but damn, like that, bro. Like
1:00:06>> GJ get busy,
1:00:07>> man. Duh, bro. I was like, dang.
1:00:10So, um
1:00:12Yeah.
1:00:13Yeah. Yeah.
1:00:14It burned me. So anyway, so uh uh left
1:00:17with left top step uh went to my fund of
1:00:19futures. Uh got funded with my fund of
1:00:21futures, got a whole bunch of playouts
1:00:23with them. They took the ability away to
1:00:27do
1:00:28um
1:00:29minis for a bit. So I had I ended up
1:00:31leaving them and you could only do up to
1:00:34four micros, which is like
1:00:37>> what? So it's when gold uh when silver
1:00:40was really popular earlier this year,
1:00:42that's when they like took that away.
1:00:44Um, then I went to
1:00:46uh Tradeify,
1:00:47>> got a whole bunch of payouts with
1:00:48Traderify, then I went to Lucid. I've
1:00:50always struggled with Lucid, man. I
1:00:52don't know what it is.
1:00:54I struggled with Lucid, but
1:00:56um I was able
1:00:58uh early on when I did Lucid, got a
1:01:01payout. Uh then most recently got a few
1:01:03pay payouts with Lucid. So,
1:01:05four different prop firms
1:01:06>> and over six figures in payouts.
1:01:08>> Yeah. Yeah.
1:01:09>> That's great. In a year or in two years?
1:01:11>> In two years in total. Yeah, two years.
1:01:13Yeah,
1:01:13>> that's amazing.
1:01:14>> It's really cool, bro.
1:01:15>> Like from going from like like I I bro I
1:01:18still can't get over it. Food pantry
1:01:21>> listening to the you know trainer
1:01:23motivation show you know losing five
1:01:25streams of income being on hard times
1:01:28>> to literally a year later starting to
1:01:31get payouts two years later like making
1:01:33over six figures in payouts and like
1:01:35>> now it's like automatic now.
1:01:37>> So now you know you can go fishing.
1:01:39>> Yeah.
1:01:40>> And literally walk out the water.
1:01:42>> Yes. with five figure payouts.
1:01:43>> Yes, bro. And it's humbling, bro,
1:01:45because it's like one of those like it's
1:01:49you seen the meme of the guy where he
1:01:51had the pickaxe and he turned around but
1:01:54it's gold right on the other side. Like
1:01:56I feel like that's so many people, man.
1:01:58Like,
1:01:58>> but that was me, man. Like, I was, bro,
1:02:01when I tell you I was ready to hang up
1:02:02the cake, but
1:02:03I didn't go to college, bro. Like, I
1:02:06barely graduated high school. I jumped
1:02:08into ministry right after,
1:02:10you know, um I graduated high school.
1:02:14So, I ain't really have another option,
1:02:16bro. Like, I'm a music artist, but my
1:02:18Spotify checks for like like
1:02:21>> I know.
1:02:22>> Yeah.
1:02:22>> Yeah. So, I still receive a spot. So, I
1:02:25used to do
1:02:26uh music.
1:02:28>> What?
1:02:28>> Yeah. I was a Christian rapper.
1:02:30>> What?

1:02:34A lot of my stuff's still out there, but
1:02:35I receive a check like every, you know,
1:02:38maybe two to three months.

1:02:47it or not, I was the first. So, I signed
1:02:49with Empire.

1:02:53that did a distribution deal with
1:02:55Empire.
1:02:55>> Are you the first? So, this is before
1:02:58like Derek Miner and KB like those guys.
1:03:00So,
1:03:02>> the
1:03:03Okay. When Gazi first launched Empire,
1:03:05>> yeah,
1:03:06>> he was working with a lawyer who
1:03:09worked with Pitbull. So, Pitbull's
1:03:12>> lawyer or one of his attorneys, her name
1:03:15is Angie Martinez.
1:03:16>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
1:03:17>> Yeah. So, Angie Martinez
1:03:19um
1:03:20was or is close friends with somebody
1:03:22that is close friends with me.
1:03:24>> So, he set up a meeting at her office in
1:03:27downtown Carables. I went to her meet
1:03:29like this was, bro, I'm like

1:03:36maybe
1:03:36>> are you

1:03:41the first Christian artist
1:03:42>> signed to that distribution company or
1:03:45>> or that had a distribution deal. Like
1:03:47you couldn't just get a distribution
1:03:48deal with Empire. Like I don't know if
1:03:49you can now but you had to be sought
1:03:52after or you have connections.
1:03:54>> So anyway,
1:03:55>> I had a meeting with her. She heard the
1:03:57music that I was doing. She actually
1:03:59pitched my music to
1:04:02um Slip and Slide Records, which is the
1:04:04record label that signed like Rick Ross,
1:04:06Platt.
1:04:08>> Oh, wow.
1:04:09>> That went nowhere. But I ended up
1:04:11working for Slip and Slide as like
1:04:14a content strategist. So, that was a
1:04:16full circle.
1:04:18>> Yeah. So, shout out to Ted Lucas,
1:04:20>> um who did a lot for me. Um but anyway,
1:04:23um so long story short, yeah. So, I had

1:07:05Anyway, um, so,
1:07:07um,
1:07:08look, you made me forget the question I
1:07:09was asking,
1:07:10>> but that's crazy. like that. I don't
1:07:12know if y'all knew that about him, man.
1:07:14Like that
1:07:14>> that's where our our whole synergy come
1:07:16from cuz you a Christian. Yeah. Yeah.
1:07:18Yeah.
1:07:18>> All right. So, let's get back to this.
1:07:20Um what was I asking? Um
1:07:22you got to stop doing this. This is
1:07:25about you. This ain't about me.
1:07:26>> I know. But bro, you I love you, bro. I
1:07:28love you, too.
1:07:30>> Um Okay. So, I'm trying to ask
1:07:32where was he going? So, I know we
1:07:33talking about prop firms.
1:07:34>> Yeah. So, we was talking about P firms
1:07:35and we was talking about payouts and
1:07:36then we was talking about um you know,
1:07:40>> well, I just want to go there cuz I
1:07:42forgot where I was going. Yeah. But
1:07:43anyway, so
1:07:47>> six figures in payouts over two years.
1:07:49>> Yeah.
1:07:49>> Okay.
1:07:50>> Um
1:07:52>> here's where I was going. How does it
1:07:54feel to know
1:07:55that you can tap in at any time?
1:07:59>> Anytime. Like if things get tight today.
1:08:01>> Yeah. Yes.
1:08:02>> You can go spend
1:08:04$500 worth of like 50k vows. You
1:08:07>> don't even need all that.
1:08:08>> That's like five. You So you don't need
1:08:09all that
1:08:10>> and you can make it popping. Yes. Five
1:08:12figures in payouts. Boom.
1:08:13>> Yes. Literally.
1:08:14>> How does that feel to know that you've
1:08:16been like you've gotten yourself to the
1:08:18point where that's possible, bro?
1:08:21>> It's so humbling, bro.
1:08:23It's really crazy.
1:08:25I I haven't even processed it. Like, I
1:08:28think for me, because you know, when
1:08:31you're learning how to trade, you're in
1:08:32such a grind, like
1:08:34laser focused, man, like
1:08:37centered in.
1:08:39You know you, there's outside noise and
1:08:41you just kind of have to shake it off,
1:08:42man. Like I, I had a cousin tell me,
1:08:45"You know,
1:08:47don't trade. You're going to get
1:08:48finessed; you're going to get scammed;
1:08:49like, don't do it." And then I made 20
1:08:51bands, like,
1:08:52a few weeks after. You know what I'm
1:08:54saying? Like and I ain't even rub it in.
1:08:56I was just like, "Yeah, what I that it
1:08:57was the battery in my back that I
1:08:59needed." You know what I'm saying? But
1:09:00it's like um
1:09:02it it
1:09:04I think for me, I haven't processed it
1:09:06cuz I like you seen the interview where
1:09:08Kobe was like, "Job's not done."
1:09:10>> Like that's that's just where I'm at. So
1:09:12I'm not even thinking about
1:09:14six figures of payouts. I'm thinking
1:09:15about like
1:09:17seven figures. Like you know what I'm
1:09:19saying? Like there is going to come to a
1:09:22point where I have to stop trading
1:09:23profits. You know what I'm saying? that
1:09:24I have to do a live account like how the
1:09:27big dogs are doing. Like I have to So
1:09:29I'm I'm still even looking at this
1:09:31season cuz I'm I've only been profitable
1:09:33two years. So I'm I'm
1:09:35even looking at this season in this area
1:09:36of my trading as still like practice.
1:09:38>> Like I'm not in the big big leagues yet.
1:09:41>> You know what I'm saying? The big they
1:09:42they pulling,
1:09:44>> you know what I'm saying? Like it's some
1:09:46of these people we know not capping. You
1:09:48know what I'm saying? Um so it's like
1:09:50this this is not even the minor leagues
1:09:52where I'm at. This is still
1:09:54baby steps, you know, like
1:09:56>> and to your point, as we discussed
1:09:58earlier, even if somebody is capping
1:10:00>> Yeah, that's true. That's true.
1:10:01>> You can you can use
1:10:04>> whatever somebody says.
1:10:05>> Yep. True.
1:10:06>> If you believe it in the moment,
1:10:08>> Yep.
1:10:08>> and you use that.
1:10:10>> Yep.
1:10:12>> That can fuel everything for you.
1:10:14>> It's true.
1:10:15>> Because I don't know who interview that
1:10:17was that you was watching that day. You
1:10:18was in the food pantry and I don't need
1:10:19you to tell me.
1:10:20>> Yeah. Got you. Got you.
1:10:21>> You know what I'm saying? I don't know
1:10:22who it was.
1:10:23>> That person could have been capping. We
1:10:25don't know.
1:10:25>> Facts.
1:10:26>> But that ain't change the fact that Kayn
1:10:29>> needed it.
1:10:30>> You changed your life.
1:10:31>> Yeah,
1:10:32>> bro. Your wife just Tell the people.
1:10:33Your wife just quit her job.
1:10:35>> Quit her job. Y'all, I quit my job.
1:10:38She quit her job. We don't got no more
1:10:41debt.
1:10:41>> Bro, you brought a Tesla.
1:10:43>> I bought a Tesla in cash.
1:10:44>> Let's talk about that, bro. In
1:10:46cash.
1:10:47>> Yeah, bro.
1:10:47>> Hey, you owe nobody nothing.
1:10:49>> I don't owe nobody nothing. Like
1:10:50>> talk about that, bro.
1:10:52>> Uh like the journey of getting a car.
1:10:54Like
1:10:54>> what were you driving before the Tesla,
1:10:56>> man? Ma'am. Okay, so
1:10:58I was driving a 2012 Toyota Camry. It
1:11:02was my wife's car.
1:11:03And um
1:11:05we had kids, so she used the Ford
1:11:08Escape, so it became her car. 2014 Ford
1:11:10Escape. Those were our two cars.
1:11:13We couldn't afford. So her her the Cammy
1:11:16was paid off.
1:11:18We couldn't afford to make car payments
1:11:22on the Ford Escape
1:11:25and they called and said, "We don't
1:11:27think we can make money on this. We
1:11:28can't even repossess it, but we can
1:11:31still take it
1:11:33unless you guys pay us under the table
1:11:35essentially." Like that was the deal.
1:11:37Like y'all had to pay us. So like they
1:11:39they
1:11:41and that's God's grace. Like for them to
1:11:42not repossess it and it's like you know
1:11:44what I'm saying? Like we don't even
1:11:45think we make money from this. So, um,
1:11:48it feels crazy, bro.
1:11:50It feels insane. Like, it's even hard
1:11:53for me to put into words now, like of
1:11:56just,
1:11:58bro, like I wanted that jump so bad,
1:12:00bro. And what made me mad, man, is
1:12:04um
1:12:05Elon started cutting up.
1:12:08Like, cutting up, bro.
1:12:10Cutting up. People was blowing Teslas
1:12:14up.
1:12:20I was like,
1:12:20>> he started saying yes.
1:12:22>> I did. I was like, dang, this a risk.
1:12:24But you know what? Like, hey, I make
1:12:26risk every day. I'll be in the market.
1:12:27It's a risk. Um, man, I remember the
1:12:30first time I tried to get it. Um,
1:12:32I had got I had a got a real nice payout
1:12:34and
1:12:35um what was it?
1:12:37We went to
1:12:39I don't know if I should say where it
1:12:41was, but we went to we went to a
1:12:42dealership and they're notoriously known
1:12:44for like screwing people over with
1:12:46credit like but they're very well known
1:12:48in in the DMV.
1:12:49And um
1:12:51I went over there, man, and I was going
1:12:52to put down
1:12:54I think
1:12:5512 vans for it. Like I was just going to
1:12:57put down 12
1:13:00and um do payments on the rest. I don't
1:13:02understand how
1:13:04this era of
1:13:06car
1:13:07loans work. So, they were still like,
1:13:10for the first year, you're not even
1:13:12going to pay towards the principal. You
1:13:13going to be paying us back cuz my
1:13:14credit's jacked up. Like, I'm still
1:13:17trying to build my credit up. Like, I
1:13:19got money, but my credit ain't You know
1:13:20what I'm saying? You know what I'm
1:13:22saying? Like,
1:13:23bro, when you learning how to trade and
1:13:24you don't got no money, boy,
1:13:26you be seeing numbers you ain't never
1:13:28seen before. I'm like, "Dang,
1:13:30I didn't know I could get that low."
1:13:34>> Dang. Tell me about it.
1:13:36>> Yeah. Shoot. My jaw almost touching the
1:13:38double digits. I was
1:13:40so bad, bro.
1:13:42Dang. What you mean? 14.
1:13:46What you mean? 14.
1:13:48So, yeah.
1:13:50You got me sounding like a pig over
1:13:51there, right?
1:13:56What you mean, man? So,
1:14:00so yeah, bro. Um
1:14:01>> Oh my goodness.
1:14:02>> Yeah. So, so I was really discouraged. I
1:14:05was mad. Um
1:14:07>> um couple months later, get more
1:14:09payouts, you know, is is finances is
1:14:12going up. Um it's looking good. And I
1:14:14was like, uh this was in January
1:14:18and this is bro, this is like before
1:14:21I had the course that I have now. This
1:14:23is before my indicator came out. this
1:14:25way before the bot. Like
1:14:27we only had like 90 members in our
1:14:29community,
1:14:30but I like
1:14:33it was nice. It was looking good, you
1:14:35know. This when it first started looking
1:14:37good when I was like, "Oh, damn. I ain't
1:14:39never seen that number before." Like,
1:14:41you know,
1:14:42oo.
1:14:43Um,
1:14:44and I was like, "Man, I be I need this
1:14:46car bad. Like, please. Like, I need this
1:14:49y'all bad." And she was like, "Well, if
1:14:51you feel like it's it's wise, if you
1:14:53feel like you ready, like, let's go."
1:14:54you know, let's do it. Um, so we ended
1:14:57up,
1:14:58um, buying that in cash and I
1:15:00gave the Camry to my brother, uh, who
1:15:04needed a car. So,
1:15:06um, we're probably going to do the same
1:15:07thing. Um,
1:15:09um, I told somebody in my Discord, we
1:15:11might
1:15:12I just made an announcement. I was like,
1:15:14"Hey, we might buy a minivan for our
1:15:16family. So, this Ford Escape, if anybody
1:15:19want it,
1:15:20it's on me." You know what I'm saying?
1:15:22So,
1:15:22>> but but we've always wanted to do that.
1:15:24Like, we always said we want to give
1:15:26away things. You know what I'm saying?
1:15:27Like that. I'm a big giver, bro. Like,
1:15:30>> man. And my like my coaches get mad at
1:15:32me. Like, cuz I I give a lot. Like, I
1:15:36give a lot. It's just in my heart, man.
1:15:38I'm generous, bro. Like, um,
1:15:41now I give when God tells me to.
1:15:44I don't give I I don't give when he
1:15:47tells me not to. You know what I'm
1:15:48saying? like I have to be obedient to
1:15:51that.
1:15:52>> So there's times where people will ask
1:15:54me for money or ask me for resources or
1:15:57ask me for things and I'm like I can't
1:15:58do it. Like I'm sorry.
1:16:00>> Um and there's other times where people
1:16:02won't ask for things but God puts the
1:16:04impression on my heart. You know what
1:16:06I'm saying? To bless
1:16:07um
1:16:09Yeah. Yeah, bro. like you know
1:16:11>> um and and also like a big thing that I
1:16:15I I
1:16:17credit and attribute to even answer a
1:16:18question you asked earlier man like
1:16:21I believe the two things that really
1:16:22made me profitable
1:16:25and bring me to where I'm at financially
1:16:27right now
1:16:29is tithing
1:16:32tithing
1:16:32>> it's powerful and
1:16:35this one is not going to sound like it
1:16:37correlates but it does and it's forg
1:16:40forgiveness.
1:16:40>> Oh my goodness.
1:16:42>> Tithing and forgiveness.
1:16:43>> Explain both of those.
1:16:44>> So,
1:16:46the Bible says that when you give, it'll
1:16:49be given back to you,
1:16:50>> pressed down,
1:16:51>> shaken together,
1:16:52>> running over.
1:16:52>> Come on.
1:16:53>> Shall who?
1:16:54>> I don't remember the rest.
1:16:55>> Shall man,
1:16:56>> say it again.
1:16:57>> Shall man give into your bosom.
1:17:00>> Amen. M mm.
1:17:02>> And so
1:17:03for me,
1:17:04the
1:17:06enhanced verbiage of press down, shaken
1:17:09together, running over
1:17:12tells me
1:17:13that there's something attached
1:17:15something supernatural attached
1:17:18to generosity.
1:17:20And so for
1:17:22and not just generosity just for the
1:17:24sake of being gener generous
1:17:26but for the sake of being obedient to
1:17:29God man
1:17:30like where your treasure lies there so
1:17:33shall your heart be right. So
1:17:36>> for me it's like
1:17:38well my treasure is clearly my finances.
1:17:41>> I want God like I say I love God with
1:17:44all my heart.
1:17:45>> Mhm.
1:17:46>> You know what I'm saying? Like I have to
1:17:47make sure that I'm being obedient that
1:17:49way. And there was even a point, bro,
1:17:52my longest win streak
1:17:55was 6 weeks.
1:17:56>> Mhm.
1:17:57>> I could not be stopped, bro.
1:17:59>> 6 weeks straight.
1:18:00>> Six weeks. Just boom boom boom. Just
1:18:03cooking.
1:18:04I stopped tithing.
1:18:06>> Whoa.
1:18:07Cuz I wanted to see a certain number.
1:18:11I lost for three weeks straight. I could
1:18:14not win a trade, bro. Even by accident.
1:18:18Even bro, it was it was like, "Oh, well,
1:18:20let me trade the opposite of my ST." It
1:18:22was that bad, bro. That's how bad I was
1:18:24losing, bro.
1:18:25>> Let me just trade the opposite. Like, I
1:18:27I'll catch something. Three weeks
1:18:29straight, bro.
1:18:31God got my attention and said,
1:18:33"You going You going to come back? You
1:18:35going to
1:18:36Cuz you tripping off of getting this
1:18:38number, but I'm about to 30x that
1:18:40thing."
1:18:41>> Yeah. Yeah.
1:18:42>> Be obedient. So
1:18:44you got that and then forgiveness
1:18:47for me.
1:18:53So the scripture I brought up earlier,
1:18:55whatever you ask for in prayer, believe
1:18:56you shall receive it and it shall be
1:18:57yours.
1:18:58>> Correct?
1:19:00>> Right after that,
1:19:02he says
1:19:04that if you have unforgiveness,
1:19:07my father in heaven won't forgive you.
1:19:09>> Mhm.
1:19:11So we not even just talking about
1:19:12whatever you ask for in prayer, the
1:19:14abundance,
1:19:16>> finances,
1:19:17healthy relationships, good health. We
1:19:20talking about the soul now.
1:19:22>> Yeah.
1:19:22>> If I don't forgive somebody, I I can't
1:19:25inherit the kingdom of God.
1:19:27>> So it's deeper than just being
1:19:28profitable. This my soul now.
1:19:30>> Yeah. But
1:19:32with being profitable,
1:19:34man, there was a week straight where God
1:19:37would bring me up uh wake me up at 2:00
1:19:39a.m.
1:19:40>> Mhm.
1:19:40>> and just start bringing people to my
1:19:42memory.
1:19:43>> Wow.
1:19:44>> Bullies from middle school. I don't I I
1:19:46done forgot their name until that
1:19:48moment.
1:19:49People that I worked for back in 2013,
1:19:532014.
1:19:54>> Forgive them.
1:19:55>> Forgive them. M
1:19:56>> call them by name and forgive them.
1:19:59>> Man, I had one boss. I messed up
1:20:02somebody order and she threw ketchup
1:20:04packets at me like that.
1:20:06>> Now, I was in high school when it
1:20:07happened.
1:20:08>> Wow.
1:20:08>> That would never happen in my door hood.
1:20:11Somebody getting in trouble.
1:20:14>> They cleaned that up good. Somebody get
1:20:16in in trouble.
1:20:17>> In trouble.
1:20:19You had to throw your
1:20:23>> Hey,
1:20:23hey, that boy got in his splash.
1:20:25>> I did. I did. He brought me back. He
1:20:27brought me back. But but I had to
1:20:29forgive, man. Dude, it man, it was
1:20:31people that I forgot even existed, bro.
1:20:34>> And when I tell you, I
1:20:36God took me through a twoe period of
1:20:37just forgiveness, man. And just
1:20:39understanding forgiveness. I was
1:20:40listening to sermons on forgiveness,
1:20:42man.
1:20:44It took my training to the next level.
1:20:45Like it it just started shifting things,
1:20:48bro. It even took my business to the
1:20:50next level. Like
1:20:51>> I believe it.
1:20:51>> It took my impact to the next level.
1:20:54Like we
1:20:55rapidly
1:20:56went from
1:20:5890
1:20:58Discord members to currently almost
1:21:018,000, bro.

1:22:17is like seeing myself win.
1:22:19>> It really is. Like, it's a beautiful
1:22:21thing to see, bro. And it's like so much
1:22:23more is coming your way

1:22:26just continue to just be positive as you
1:22:29are. Be the light that you are. Continue
1:22:31to control the room with that big
1:22:33energy, that big passion. I love it,
1:22:36bro. I love it. I love it. I love it.
1:22:38>> Um,
1:22:40>> so
1:22:41when you
1:22:43actually
1:22:46got the keys,
1:22:47signed the documents, the Tesla is
1:22:49yours.
1:22:50>> Oh, yes. Shoot. Dang. Sorry.
1:22:52>> What did that feel like driving off
1:22:55>> it? So, in we documented the whole
1:22:57thing. It man, I don't know what it is,
1:23:00K. Like I said, I need therapy, bro. Cuz
1:23:03every big win in my life,
1:23:06I think because I've dealt with a lot of
1:23:07disappointments, bro, it just don't be
1:23:09feeling real. Like, it just don't it
1:23:11feel like even when you hit me up, bro.
1:23:14Like, I was like, that ain't really him,
1:23:16bro. They playing, bro.
1:23:18But like, you know, it it just never
1:23:21feels real. Like, man, it it's even deep
1:23:24to the level of like when my kids was
1:23:25born. Like, just don't feel real. like
1:23:28I can't fully grasp it cuz it doesn't I
1:23:31I just don't know yet, you know? Um so
1:23:33that's something that I'm really
1:23:34struggling and really need to work
1:23:36through. And I
1:23:38I think when I got the car cuz I wanted
1:23:40it for so long, for years. Mhm.
1:23:43>> Um I think for me,
1:23:46you know, I just kind of like smiled and
1:23:48I was just like, man, like wow, like
1:23:51cool, you know, but I but I also think
1:23:53there's a healthy factor of like the job
1:23:55is not done, you know, like for sure,
1:23:57>> you know, uh I still got to retire my
1:24:00parents. Like I still got to retire my
1:24:01wife's parents. Like we we got work to
1:24:04do. Like you know, it it's celebrating,
1:24:07but it's also like all right, let's go.
1:24:09Like game's not over. You know, I
1:24:11it and I I don't know if that's healthy
1:24:13or not.
1:24:14>> No, that's good.
1:24:15>> Okay,
1:24:16>> that's beautiful, man. Trading fam, I
1:24:17wanted to share this photo with you. The
1:24:19guy holding up these awards, his name is
1:24:21Capono. And Capono is celebrating making
1:24:24over a million dollars in a single year
1:24:26from his commercial cleaning company.
1:24:28And guess what? Capono doesn't do any of
1:24:30the cleaning. He's the boss and he hires
1:24:33other people to do the cleaning on his
1:24:35behalf. Now, the other gentleman in the
1:24:37photo who has the braids or the
1:24:39cornrows, his name is AJ Simmons. And AJ
1:24:42Simmons actually taught Capono
1:24:45how to grow his cleaning business from
1:24:48ground zero. From the beginning stages
1:24:50when Capono was making no money, AJ
1:24:52taught him how to grow a successful
1:24:54business. And I want to let you know
1:24:56right now, trading fam, that if you or
1:24:58somebody you know is interested in
1:25:01building a business starting from ground

1:25:51podcast episode. Um, so a dream come
1:25:54true.
1:25:55>> The car you wanted. You got it.
1:25:56>> Got it.
1:25:57>> Walk me through your
1:25:59your approach with
1:26:01evals. So when you're doing these
1:26:03>> Yeah. these prop evaluation accounts and
1:26:07you're doing the funded, you're
1:26:08transitioning to funded. Like can you
1:26:09give us
1:26:10>> like your game plan like how you're
1:26:12doing it? Are you buying one at a time?
1:26:14Are you copy trading?
1:26:15>> Yeah.
1:26:15>> Um like what's your risk plan? How many
1:26:17setups per day? What instrument you
1:26:19trading? Yeah. Like walk us through
1:26:20that. Give us some depth.
1:26:21>> That's really good. So
1:26:23um let's
1:26:24>> like we want to make five bands too.
1:26:26Yeah.
1:26:26>> You know what I'm saying? All right, we
1:26:28want to make, you know, five figures,
1:26:30you know, 20K like you,
1:26:32>> 100K in payouts every two years. You
1:26:34know, we want to be like you.
1:26:35>> All right, bet. Let us know.
1:26:36>> So, this how you do it. So,
1:26:38um, like I said before, you you start
1:26:40with one.
1:26:41>> Okay.
1:26:41>> So,
1:26:42get a 50k account.
1:26:44>> I'll give myself at least three to four
1:26:46day. It depends on how the market's
1:26:48moving. So, like we got FOMC tomorrow.
1:26:50We had CPI last week. Like, I know the
1:26:52market's going to be unpredictable. It's
1:26:54going to do crazy things. So, like right
1:26:56now I'm taking it really slow cuz I'm
1:26:58I'm just now coming back. So, I'm taking
1:27:00it real slow. Like, all right, let me
1:27:02see, you know, what's going to end up
1:27:03happening if we catch good setups. Like
1:27:05last night, I took a L the uh you know,
1:27:08the day before like one big and then my
1:27:10bot is on a two-day winning streak right
1:27:13now, like doing really good. So,
1:27:15um
1:27:16you get funded.
1:27:19Next step is you try to do the base
1:27:21hits. Get comfortable. get out of the
1:27:23grind mentality of
1:27:25I'm still trying to pass the eval. You
1:27:27passed already. So that's my mindset.
1:27:29It's like I passed already. I don't have
1:27:31to try to force no setup. I don't I
1:27:33don't have to grind anymore. I'm here.
1:27:35Let me get comfortable with this. Get
1:27:37the payout,
1:27:39pay myself. So it's like, okay, if I
1:27:41pull out $5,000,
1:27:45let me
1:27:46take four of that
1:27:48and we going to tie that j.
1:27:50So me specifically, like some people
1:27:52tithe to gross, I tithe what comes in my
1:27:54pocket. So that's just how I, you know,
1:27:56specifically do it. And so it's like,
1:27:58okay, if I pull out
1:27:59um if I pull out five, we ti 500
1:28:03and then we're um we're spinning,
1:28:07>> sorry, we tie the 500, I'm giving myself
1:28:11uh
1:28:12four bands,
1:28:13right? And then the next 500 is going to
1:28:16the E valves.
1:28:17>> So now we're compounding. So, we're
1:28:19doing that until we have 10 profit from
1:28:21accounts and then you can start
1:28:23withdrawing consistently and then you
1:28:25try to add five more and then so I use
1:28:28um trade syncer to copy trade.
1:28:31>> So, tradesyncer allows you to sync up
1:28:34your different accounts together.
1:28:35>> Yeah. So, you have one master account
1:28:36and then all the other ones follow. So,
1:28:39>> where you would have made a 5k payout,
1:28:42if you have 10 accounts,
1:28:45>> 50k.
1:28:46>> Yeah.
1:28:46>> Yeah. I barely graduated high school,
1:28:48bro. So my mad
1:28:50>> You probably making more than 90%of your
1:28:53class for real though. Yeah. So yeah. Um
1:28:57yeah, that's that's how you do that. And
1:28:59so like even when you asked the question
1:29:01like or even like made the statement of
1:29:02like when you
1:29:04if this all crumbled like you have the
1:29:06skill to build up like yes that's the
1:29:08play.
1:29:09>> I just need $50, bro.
1:29:11>> I get a little 25k account, get that
1:29:13payout, we up. You know what I'm saying?
1:29:16It's an amazing skill, bro. It's an
1:29:17amazing skill.
1:29:18>> Okay. So, that's how you would walk
1:29:21through eval to funded.
1:29:23>> Yeah.
1:29:23>> Okay.
1:29:24>> Well, that's how I would walk from eval
1:29:26to pay out. But yeah. Yeah. You know, I
1:29:28like it. Yeah. So, eval to funded.
1:29:30>> To pay out. Yeah.
1:29:31>> I like it. I like it. I like it so much.
1:29:33So, earlier you mentioned
1:29:35>> you get a payout.
1:29:36>> Mhm.
1:29:37>> Um
1:29:37and then you reinvest some into some
1:29:40more
1:29:41>> Yeah.
1:29:41>> accounts as well.
1:29:42>> Yep.
1:29:43What's the most amount of accounts
1:29:44you've had at one time?
1:29:47>> 15.
1:29:48>> 15 at one time.
1:29:49>> Yeah.
1:29:49>> And did you get a payout off that?
1:29:51>> I did.
1:29:52>> And how much was that?
1:29:57>> Oh, like if you had the total like
1:29:59>> Yeah.
1:30:00>> All the accounts combined. Like what do
1:30:01you think?
1:30:02>> It was It was probably like 15 bands.
1:30:0315.
1:30:04>> 15 20 bands. Yeah. Cuz I think cuz what
1:30:06I try to do is
1:30:08if I do get a payout like I want to try
1:30:10to get at least 1,500 or 2,000 per
1:30:13account.
1:30:13>> Per account. I like it.
1:30:14>> Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, it's probably like
1:30:1715 20.
1:30:17>> That's good.
1:30:18>> Yeah.
1:30:19>> And
1:30:20you know, it seems like the real growth
1:30:23is when you scale.
1:30:24>> Yes. That's where it is. And that's
1:30:27where a lot of people get tripped up.
1:30:28Because, like, even for me, man, like
1:30:31I'll see such and such
1:30:33like make 100k,
1:30:35and I'm like, "Bro, I'm trying to get
1:30:36there," like, you know what I'm saying?
1:30:37Like, but some people look at me like
1:30:40making 20, and they're like, "You know,
1:30:42I want to get there," but it's like you
1:30:44have to master
1:30:46making a thousand before you can make
1:30:4810. You have to master making a 100
1:30:49before you can make a thousand. A lot of
1:30:51people get tripped up because they're
1:30:53trying to get there so fast, but you
1:30:55have to scale. This is a scaling
1:30:57business. Like, this is for scaling.
1:30:59This ain't get rich quick. I I said this
1:31:02in my uh in my Discord last week, like
1:31:04this ain't the casino. This ain't the
1:31:06strip club. You know what I'm saying?
1:31:07You can't I said, "You can't shake booty
1:31:10for the market." Like, that's going to
1:31:11work.
1:31:14>> You can't do it.
1:31:17You can't.
1:31:19You can't do it, Calvin.
1:31:22It ain't gonna work, man. So,
1:31:25you know, you you you have to get to a
1:31:28place, man, of understanding because
1:31:30like I
1:31:31>> when I was learning how to trade, like
1:31:33apart from your videos and a few other
1:31:35that were like solid, man. There's other
1:31:37videos that I was seeing of people
1:31:38saying like, "Yeah, like I'll get in the
1:31:40market when I feel like it, make 20K
1:31:42real quick, and then I'm done. Like, I
1:31:44don't got nothing to do for the day."
1:31:45It's like, that's not how it works. You
1:31:46don't just go in the market, press a
1:31:48button, make 20, and you out. Like,
1:31:50that's that's not a thing.
1:31:51>> It's a buildup.
1:31:52>> Yeah. Like, you capping, bro. Like, you
1:31:55know what I'm saying? Like, stop. So,
1:31:57but but it messed me up, though, you
1:31:59know, cuz I'm thinking, "Oh, I could
1:32:01just go like I
1:32:02forget this interview. I can go to the
1:32:04market right now, make 20K, and then and
1:32:06then come back." Like, look how like
1:32:07that's not how it works, bro. Like, you
1:32:09you have to have a proper system and
1:32:12strategy, and you're going to lose, bro.
1:32:14It's part of it. Like I I feel like if
1:32:16people understood more that you have to
1:32:19lose
1:32:20u
1:32:21good, you have to lose well, you have to
1:32:23lose correctly, you'll scale up a lot
1:32:25more.
1:32:25>> That's true.
1:32:26>> You know, um
1:32:27>> how do you lose? Well,
1:32:29>> that's good, bro. So,
1:32:31we have a
1:32:33psychology exit plan in my inner circle.
1:32:36And so what I do
1:32:38if I'm waiting for a long time for a
1:32:40setup, so the way that I do is I set
1:32:41alerts. Um, so I'm not staring at the
1:32:44chart waiting for it to break my high or
1:32:45my low. I'll set alerts. If I'm manually
1:32:47trading and it's not my buy or my
1:32:49indicator giving me the signal. Um,
1:32:51what
1:32:52what I do is if I wait, okay, price hit
1:32:56my line, rejected like it's not ready.
1:32:58Okay, it's not ready. Shows a big push
1:33:01after breaking my line.
1:33:03perfect setup,
1:33:05liquidates me, goes in my direction, I'm
1:33:07angry. So, the first thing that I do
1:33:11if my family's home, I'll go in the
1:33:13bathroom.
1:33:15I don't know if you do this, Calvin,
1:33:16where you just hide in the bathroom for
1:33:17a little bit as a dad,
1:33:20but I will go hide in the bathroom. I'll
1:33:22go on Instagram.
1:33:23>> You sitting on the toilet?
1:33:25>> I'm sitting on the toilet,
1:33:26>> bro. That's my spot. How do you know me
1:33:28so well?
1:33:28>> Well, you're dad, bro. Like, that's just
1:33:30what we do. Like that's that's what we
1:33:33do, bro. Like we will go sit on the
1:33:35toilet and hide.
1:33:36>> Just that's it.
1:33:37>> And the toilet seat's down. Like you
1:33:38know what I'm saying? Like we
1:33:40>> Well, mine be up.
1:33:41>> Oh, yours be up. Okay. Okay. Yeah. No,
1:33:43my I I go
1:33:44>> I just killed two birds with one.
1:33:46>> That's good. That's good. See, that's
1:33:48good. I probably should do that more
1:33:50often. I should probably just sit there
1:33:51and wait.
1:33:55>> Yeah, you
1:33:58But yeah, bro. So, I just sit, man, and
1:34:00and I'll go on Instagram. You know, on
1:34:02Instagram, they have the algorithm now
1:34:04where if you press the button, um you
1:34:07can pick what type of content you want
1:34:08to see. Correct.
1:34:09>> So, for me to get out of the mode of
1:34:12being angry and wanting to get back in,
1:34:14I'll um look at funny videos.
1:34:17>> Bro, we are like twins. That's If you
1:34:21look at who I follow,
1:34:23it's a bunch of people that do funny
1:34:24videos,
1:34:25>> bro. That's me, bro. I have to.
1:34:27>> Go ahead. Go ahead. And I do it on my
1:34:29other account that's not my trading
1:34:31account because
1:34:33it's nothing worse than losing $1,000
1:34:36and seeing that somebody just made 20.
1:34:38>> Yeah.
1:34:39>> It's nothing worse than losing $10,000
1:34:42and seeing that.
1:34:43>> So don't follow traders.
1:34:44>> Well, I I want to still get the
1:34:46motivation though cuz I'm not making
1:34:48100K yet. You know what I'm saying? I
1:34:50like per trade, you know, like I I want
1:34:52to get the inspiration, but
1:34:54uh I have another account like I have a
1:34:56burner account like where it's just for
1:34:58that purpose.
1:34:59>> Who you don't went off on?
1:35:00>> Huh?
1:35:01>> I say who you went off on on that burner
1:35:03account.
1:35:03>> Oh my god. Nobody. Nobody. Nobody.
1:35:06Go ahead.
1:35:06>> Cuz I hate when people do it to me.
1:35:10>> Uhhuh.
1:35:12>> Nah. Never. But um man, I'll look at
1:35:14funny videos, bro, and it's like
1:35:17I'm not getting off until I'm calm.
1:35:20Like until I feel like, okay,
1:35:23it's part of the game.
1:35:24>> Yeah,
1:35:24>> we'll come back tomorrow. Um sometimes I
1:35:27lose and I'm not even mad. Like I'm just
1:35:29like, all right, whatever. Like, you
1:35:30know what I'm saying? Like that it
1:35:31happened last night. Like I I lost last
1:35:33night. Um, I had a really bad entry last
1:35:36night and um,
1:35:38it was just like it it just it wasn't
1:35:41it wasn't a good entry, man. Like I saw
1:35:43the market pushing in one direction, got
1:35:45faked out, lost 900. Um, but my bot won
1:35:48on the other five accounts. So, I'm
1:35:50like, I can't be too mad cuz my, you
1:35:52know, so the the secret thing that I'm
1:35:54doing right now is I'm trying to see if
1:35:56I can perform better than my bot because
1:35:58it performs really well. So, I'm
1:36:00that that's some content that I'm
1:36:02working on right now. But
1:36:03um yeah, so if that doesn't work, if the
1:36:06Instagram thing doesn't work,
1:36:08I'll uh go to my wife and I'll let her
1:36:11know, "Babe, I feel like getting back in
1:36:13the market. I just lost. I need help."
1:36:15You know, I like that.
1:36:16>> Um so that's my emergency exit plan.
1:36:19And I always tell people, especially in
1:36:22the inner circle, that's part of
1:36:24the onboarding. You need to have your
1:36:27emergency exit plan. You need to have
1:36:29your why. Why do you trade? And then um
1:36:32you need to tell us what your end goal
1:36:34is
1:36:34so you can always be reminded of it. And
1:36:37then we talk about journaling your
1:36:39trades. You need to I said, I don't even
1:36:41care if you enter the trade by accident
1:36:42and you got out journal it. Like, you
1:36:44know, you need to get in the habit of
1:36:46journaling, and we go through the
1:36:48emotions and everything, because
1:36:506 months from now you need to go back to
1:36:53see if you're still making the same
1:36:54mistakes. Are you still trading while
1:36:55you're nervous? Are you still trading
1:36:56while you're frustrated? you know, like
1:36:59um
1:36:59>> do you still trade nervous?
1:37:01>> I don't trade nervous. I don't I don't
1:37:04I'm never nervous in the market. Um
1:37:06>> how did you build this? Like I want to
1:37:08dig into that cuz I think that's a real
1:37:10good
1:37:11>> valid thing to bring up.
1:37:12>> Yeah.
1:37:13>> Um
1:37:13especially with the trading fam here
1:37:15with us.
1:37:15>> Yeah.
1:37:16>> Um
1:37:18>> would you say you're not nervous because
1:37:21you have so much confidence in this
1:37:23strategy that you put together?
1:37:25Yeah, I think yeah.
1:37:28I would say I'm it's, it's confidence in
1:37:30the strategy, but it's also my identity
1:37:33is not attached to winning or losing in
1:37:36the market, like you know? And that's
1:37:38something that I preach a lot too, like
1:37:39I you, don't
1:37:42if you lose a trade or win a trade,
1:37:44it doesn't it's, it's not a reflection
1:37:46of you you as a person or your
1:37:48character, you know, like.
1:37:49>> but even when you were going through
1:37:51like what you went through financially
1:37:52like when you didn't have no money and
1:37:54you're trading, you still didn't
1:37:57>> like feel worth
1:38:00>> in the trades you were taking
1:38:02>> because it was like, man, if if this
1:38:03don't work, like I'm not going to be
1:38:05financially where I need to be.
1:38:06>> Yeah. I got to go back to that place,
1:38:08man, cuz I I got to remember if that cuz
1:38:10I'm I'm I'm more so thinking about where
1:38:12I'm at now.
1:38:13>> Um back then probably. I mean,
1:38:15>> but even now, like now you have like,
1:38:19you know,
1:38:20>> a following, you have students under
1:38:21you.
1:38:22>> Yeah. you don't feel like and I'm not
1:38:24trying to convince you to feel that way.
1:38:26>> Oh god, I think I do like
1:38:28>> but I want to tap into like how did you
1:38:30get that way you know? So even now
1:38:35>> you don't feel like
1:38:36>> if you can't perform anymore that you'll
1:38:39lose how people see you now and the
1:38:42notoriety or anything like that.
1:38:43>> Got you. Yeah, on that part
1:38:46I did struggle with that. I did. Yes, on
1:38:49that part. Yes. Now, when it comes to
1:38:51nerves in the market, I I I don't I
1:38:54don't know. But yes, on that like there
1:38:56there people don't understand that
1:38:59when you
1:39:00say yes to becoming a trading coach. For
1:39:03me specifically, I feel like this is a
1:39:05calling that God has put over my life.
1:39:07Like I feel like God has anointed and
1:39:10appointed me to encourage people in
1:39:12their journey because I want people to
1:39:13realize that it's deeper than just the
1:39:15markets. Like this is about having faith
1:39:17in him. Yeah.
1:39:18>> And even if God said don't trade no
1:39:20more, would you do it? You know,
1:39:22so it's part
1:39:26I feel like
1:39:29>> I really struggle with imposttor
1:39:30syndrome. Like it was really like
1:39:33shoot man.
1:39:35Um
1:39:36people are seeing me as this profitable
1:39:38trader.
1:39:40Maybe I maybe I jumped into this too
1:39:42soon. Like I'm starting to have these
1:39:43different doubts. Like I mean I'm
1:39:45winning and I'm flexing these P&L games,
1:39:48but like
1:39:49is am I just getting lucky? Like am I on
1:39:52a
1:39:536 8 month like luck streak? You know
1:39:55what I'm saying? Like I'm struggling and
1:39:57battling with these thoughts and I'm
1:39:59like like what if
1:40:01like what if I just start losing all of
1:40:02a sudden? Like and I'm and I like the
1:40:05luck has run out. Like I
1:40:07I've struggled with that, bro. Like
1:40:09let's be real. Like I struggle with it.
1:40:11It's like
1:40:13like will people not take me serious?
1:40:15Like would will I trades make a a video
1:40:18about me on YouTube?
1:40:22You know what I'm saying? I'm battling
1:40:24with all these things. But
1:40:26God had to heal me and free me from
1:40:28that. And
1:40:30I think,
1:40:31you know, you and I talked about this a
1:40:33little bit on the way here, but it's
1:40:34like
1:40:36that
1:40:37people
1:40:38did not say yes to you
1:40:41because of that. You know what I'm
1:40:43saying? So, even
1:40:45bro, you've you helped me my whole
1:40:46training journey like like even now,
1:40:49bro, like in my profitability, you're
1:40:52still helping me, bro. You
1:40:53>> you that dude, Calvin. But but yeah, so
1:40:56um
1:40:58I I believe that you set me free today
1:41:00on that, bro. I really do. I believe
1:41:02that I I'm I'm set free from that. That
1:41:04I don't
1:41:05have to
1:41:06perform
1:41:08um to show people that I know what I'm
1:41:10talking about. One,
1:41:12because I
1:41:13my identity doesn't even need to be
1:41:15attached to that. But also on the flip
1:41:18side, we got receipts everywhere. Like
1:41:20we got so many receipts. Like you could
1:41:22go in our free Discord right now and go
1:41:25look at all the wins today. I'm not even
1:41:27talking about today.
1:41:29>> Today
1:41:30>> cuz they do it every day. Today you can
1:41:32go in there right now. I love it.
1:41:34>> I don't care when this video drops. You
1:41:36could do it this second. Pause the video
1:41:38and go look right now and you'll see
1:41:40people winning with with the indicator
1:41:41bot or strategy, you know. So,
1:41:44>> um
1:41:45>> yeah, there's there there's a confidence
1:41:46there.
1:41:47>> Yeah. And then
1:41:49yeah, like the fear like no fear in the
1:41:51market like it's just none like it's
1:41:53just none there like
1:41:54>> nah nah it it's not I I do now that
1:41:57doesn't mean that there isn't
1:41:59frustration like that doesn't mean that
1:42:01like I don't get frustrated when I lose.
1:42:03I think for me, like, cuz you know, like
1:42:05fear is you get in a trade and you see
1:42:08it going up, but it's starting to like
1:42:10retrace a little bit, and you get out
1:42:12early. Like, that's fear, right, for me?
1:42:16And this is bad,
1:42:18but there's times it's not bad; but it
1:42:20can be bad if you do it wrong. There's
1:42:21times where like price I I'll follow my
1:42:24rules and I'll set my stop loss to break
1:42:26even. Um and price is edging my TP.
1:42:30There's times where I'm so confident
1:42:33that it's going to just hit my TP
1:42:36that I'm just like I don't even care.
1:42:37Like I'm break even. It's risk-free and
1:42:39it just like goes back and hits my break
1:42:40even when I really should have got out.
1:42:42So there there's
1:42:45for me it's not nerves. It's more so
1:42:48like I just trust the system. Like I
1:42:50back tested this, bro. Like I spent
1:42:52months and then having to develop a
1:42:54indicator. You have to back test even
1:42:56more. You got to get more data. like you
1:42:59like I put the groundwork in. I put the
1:43:02leg work in. Like
1:43:03>> you've seen this work over and over
1:43:04again.
1:43:04>> I've seen it work over and over again on
1:43:06multiple time frames, multiple
1:43:08instruments, you know, and then putting
1:43:10the bot together like cuz the thing
1:43:11trades for you. So it's like you got to,
1:43:14you know, we put in work on that too. So
1:43:16for me, I've seen it happen frequent
1:43:18enough to trust it and not be, you know,
1:43:21>> I like that. That's really good.
1:43:23>> Yeah. Um
1:43:24man,
1:43:25what would you say to somebody? Um
1:43:28and then I want to give you the floor
1:43:30after that if there's anything I didn't
1:43:32ask, you know, for you to just um
1:43:35>> just say what's on your heart. But if
1:43:37there is somebody right now
1:43:39that's feeling hopeless,
1:43:43>> if you can go back to
1:43:46the version of you that was
1:43:48in that car.
1:43:49>> Mhm.
1:43:51>> In line at that food pantry
1:43:53>> just trying to
1:43:55make these dreams
1:43:57stay alive.
1:43:58>> Mhm.
1:43:59>> What would you say to somebody that's
1:44:01just feeling hopeless today?
1:44:03>> Yeah. I would just say trust God, man.
1:44:08Like trust God with all your heart.
1:44:11All your heart. Lean not on your own
1:44:13understanding. All your heart.
1:44:17This too shall pass.
1:44:22There's times where we have to go
1:44:24through certain situations and seasons
1:44:27so that God can prepare you and build
1:44:30you up to sustain what you've been
1:44:32praying for.
1:44:33>> That's good. So there's times where we
1:44:35could be asking for a financial
1:44:37blessing. Just because you pray for it
1:44:38doesn't mean the answer is yes. It could
1:44:40mean not yet.
1:44:42You have to have the character to
1:44:43sustain it. You don't want a taste of
1:44:46what you're praying for. You want to
1:44:47thrive in it.
1:44:49And so if that's the case, endure the
1:44:51hardship. Endure the hard season.
1:44:54It's going to end.
1:44:56Push through. Press through.
1:44:59So that that's that's what I believe,
1:45:01man.
1:45:01>> That's strong, man. I love it. I love
1:45:04it. Um,
1:45:06social media

1:45:09trading fam can follow you.
