Full transcript

1. 0:00Before we start with this mentorship
2. 0:01series, a lot of you guys who are new to
3. 0:04this YouTube channel might be wondering
4. 0:06who I am and why you should trust me.
5. 0:09You might see the lifestyle I have
6. 0:10today. You might see the cars, the
7. 0:13freedom, me traveling the world, me
8. 0:16making six figures every single month
9. 0:18from trading, and every good thing that
10. 0:21actually came from trading.
11. 0:23But, what you haven't seen is the full
12. 0:25story behind it. You haven't seen where
13. 0:28I started. You haven't seen how broke I
14. 0:31was, how lost I felt, how insecure I
15. 0:36used to be, and how far away this life
16. 0:39once felt from my reality.
17. 0:42You haven't seen the pain, the pressure,
18. 0:45the self-doubts, the failures, the
19. 0:48nights where I questioned whether any of
20. 0:50these would ever work,
21. 0:52and the moments where I genuinely felt
22. 0:55like
23. 0:56I was stuck in a life that I didn't
24. 0:58want.
25. 1:00Trading didn't just make me money. It
26. 1:02didn't just make me rich. Trading
27. 1:04changed my life.
28. 1:07And before I teach you anything in this
29. 1:09mentorship series,
30. 1:11I feel obligated. I feel like it's so
31. 1:14important for you to understand the
32. 1:16person who's behind the lessons itself.
33. 1:19Not just the version of me that you see
34. 1:21today, the charming, handsome young man,
35. 1:24but the version of me that had to
36. 1:26struggle, had to sacrifice, and
37. 1:28transform in order to get here today.
38. 1:31So, before we get into the strategy, the
39. 1:34trading psychology, the market mechanics
40. 1:37concepts, the liquidity, and everything
41. 1:39else,
42. 1:40I want to make this episode zero.
43. 1:42And I want to share my story with you on
44. 1:45how I went from broke to becoming a
45. 1:48millionaire trader.
46. 1:50And hopefully, by sharing this, I can
47. 1:53show you what's possible,
48. 1:55help you really trust me, and show you
49. 1:58that these 30-day mentorship series is
50. 2:00genuinely worth your time.
51. 2:04So, I'm grateful that you are
52. 2:06participating in this series. I'm
53. 2:07grateful for you being here. Thank you
54. 2:09for being here, and I hope you enjoy the
55. 2:11ride. So, with that being said, let me
56. 2:14take you back to where it all started.
57. 2:16My mom grew up in a tiny village in
58. 2:18China. No clean water, no electricity.
59. 2:22In fact, recently, I went back to my
60. 2:25ancestral home in China a few months
61. 2:27ago. To be exact, January 3rd, 2026.
62. 2:31Right? So, literally just like 2 months
63. 2:33ago. And this was my first time back in
64. 2:36China after 10 years. Like the last time
65. 2:39I was in China, I was literally this
66. 2:41small. Right? Maybe not this small, but
67. 2:43I was like 150 cm. I was just like a few
68. 2:45years old.
69. 2:46Right? And then this time around, I
70. 2:48returned to China, and now I return as a
71. 2:50millionaire.
72. 2:51And this is where, for the first time, I
73. 2:54saw where my mom used to live with my
74. 2:56own eyes. So, my mom used to live here.
75. 2:59And then that's where
76. 3:04So, my mom had a sibling that stayed
77. 3:05here.
78. 3:06Like
79. 3:07They had like one room and they were all
80. 3:08sleeping in there. It's crazy.
81. 3:26There's no bed. Like they all slept on
82. 3:27like the floor. There's like seven
83. 3:29siblings together.
84. 3:31Crazy.
85. 3:45So, last time,
86. 3:46my mom used to actually like feed
87. 3:49chicken and pigs and like all the other
88. 3:50farm animals before she go to school
89. 3:52every day. So, like this is where like
90. 3:54she feed them.
91. 3:55Yeah. Anyways, um she married my dad and
92. 3:57she moved to Singapore because she
93. 3:59thought life would be different there.
94. 4:02And the thing is it was different, but
95. 4:04not in the way they hoped.
96. 4:09I grew up watching my parents do
97. 4:10whatever they had to do just to keep us
98. 4:12afloat.
99. 4:13We were really poor. Like my parents
100. 4:15would skip meals so me and my sister
101. 4:17could eat.
102. 4:19I wore my relatives' old clothes to
103. 4:20school and told people they were brand
104. 4:22new.
105. 4:23My mom would cut my hair because we
106. 4:25simply could not afford to go to a
107. 4:27barber.
108. 4:30My father would give me $2 a day for
109. 4:32lunch when I was in primary school and
110. 4:34on some days I'll purposely starve
111. 4:36myself so that I could reuse that same
112. 4:38$2 the next day.
113. 4:41And McDonald's, which most kids just eat
114. 4:43whenever they want, that was like a
115. 4:45birthday treat for us.
116. 4:48And even then,
117. 4:50I would only get it if my parents could
118. 4:52make the numbers work that month since
119. 4:54they were earning around like 1.5 K per
120. 4:56month in total back then.
121. 5:00We were also on the financial assistance
122. 5:01scheme.
123. 5:02This meant that the government was
124. 5:04subsidizing my school textbooks and
125. 5:06uniforms and even sometimes my meals
126. 5:09because we couldn't afford them
127. 5:10ourselves.
128. 5:12And I still remember the day some kids
129. 5:13laughed at me for it. You know, it's
130. 5:15super embarrassing especially when
131. 5:17you're going through puberty.
132. 5:19Some kids just laugh at you for like
133. 5:20being poor, right? So, at the back of
134. 5:22them, I felt super embarrassed. I felt
135. 5:24super ashamed.
136. 5:25And I went home and I asked my mom, "Yo
137. 5:28mom, can we stop using the government
138. 5:30benefits, please?"
139. 5:31Right? As the the angry kid going
140. 5:33through puberty.
141. 5:35And she said, "No, we have to suck it up
142. 5:37so that you can go to college and
143. 5:39eventually get us out of poverty."
144. 5:41Those were the exact words that she told
145. 5:43me in Chinese.
146. 5:46In that moment, I felt powerless. I felt
147. 5:48small. I felt helpless.
148. 5:52Not because I was embarrassed for being
149. 5:54poor, but because there was nothing I
150. 5:57could do to help my family.
151. 6:01So, I looked at her like the ambitious
152. 6:03young teenager I was and I told her,
153. 6:06"Mom, one day I'm going to be rich. So
154. 6:09rich that my kids will never ever have
155. 6:11to worry about money ever again.
156. 6:13And they will never ever have to feel
157. 6:14the same embarrassment that I felt.
158. 6:17And when I make it, I'm going to help
159. 6:20other people get out of poverty, too."
160. 6:22From that day onwards, something in me
161. 6:24lit up.
162. 6:26Now that I think about it, it was like
163. 6:28the norm growing up, but I didn't know
164. 6:30any different back then, right? But like
165. 6:32we were really like barely holding it
166. 6:34together.
167. 6:35And also my dad, who just worked every
168. 6:38single day to the age of 65, who never
169. 6:40once complained about it, you know, he
170. 6:42worked as a housekeeper, masoor, fixing
171. 6:45watches on the side, cleaner sometimes,
172. 6:47whatever job he could find, he did it
173. 6:50just so that he could put food on the
174. 6:51table for us.
175. 6:54And when you're a kid watching your
176. 6:55father destroy his body, coming home at
177. 6:5711:00 p.m., 12:00 a.m. every single day,
178. 7:00working three different jobs just so
179. 7:02that you can eat, that does something to
180. 7:04you.
181. 7:06You carry that.
182. 7:07Until this day, I still carry that.
183. 7:10Their sacrifices became the thing that
184. 7:11drove me. It became my strong why.
185. 7:14I knew I couldn't waste the sacrifices
186. 7:16they made for me.
187. 7:18But I also knew that if I ended up on
188. 7:20the same path as them, working paycheck
189. 7:23to paycheck, you know, working a 9:00 to
190. 7:255:00 job and hoping things would
191. 7:26eventually get better,
192. 7:28nothing would actually change for my
193. 7:31family.
194. 7:34So, when I was 17, I told myself
195. 7:36something that sounded incredibly
196. 7:38delusional to anyone who knew my
197. 7:39situation.
198. 7:42I told myself,
199. 7:44"I'm going to be the first person in my
200. 7:46entire bloodline to become a
201. 7:47millionaire."
202. 7:49I remember when I made that vow to
203. 7:51myself on that particular day, I took
204. 7:54like this yellow paper, I wrote down in
205. 7:56these exact words, "I want to acquire $1
206. 7:59million by the age of 30."
207. 8:01And this was because I was inspired by
208. 8:03some book like How to Think and Grow
209. 8:05Rich or something.
210. 8:06And I pasted the page I pasted this
211. 8:09paper on my wall. And every single day I
212. 8:12come back from school I look at that.
213. 8:13Every single morning I visualize I'm try
214. 8:16to, you know, manifest this.
215. 8:20But the reason why I wanted to become a
216. 8:22millionaire was wasn't because I wanted
217. 8:24to buy a Ferrari,
218. 8:25but it was because I wanted to retire my
219. 8:27father, who was 65 years old and still
220. 8:30working his ass off.
221. 8:32I wanted to help him.
222. 8:34But the thing is, I had no idea how. I
223. 8:37had no mentor, no connections, no rich
224. 8:40friends, nobody around me who had ever
225. 8:42made real money, no rich family members,
226. 8:45nothing. I had to start from square one.
227. 8:48But I knew I had to figure something
228. 8:50out.
229. 8:51And that is when I found trading.
230. 8:55I got a job as a waiter making about $7
231. 8:57an hour.
232. 8:59I'll go to school during the day, go
233. 9:01straight to work after, and I'll take
234. 9:03the subway home at midnight. Every
235. 9:05single night I'll grind my ass off.
236. 9:09Feet killing me, barely awake most of
237. 9:10the times. And instead of spending that
238. 9:12money buy new shoes or whatever like a
239. 9:15normal teenager would, I saved every
240. 9:17single dollar.
241. 9:19I bought books,
242. 9:21and I opened a small trading account.
243. 9:23Anything that could help me learn this
244. 9:24skill.
245. 9:26That was the only thing I cared about. I
246. 9:28didn't care about partying on a Friday
247. 9:29night with my friends. How could you do
248. 9:31it when your family's is struggling
249. 9:33right now? How could you do it when your
250. 9:35My parents is busting their ass off?
251. 9:37The only thing I care about was to
252. 9:38master trading.
253. 9:41If you have ever stayed up until 2:00
254. 9:43a.m. watching YouTube videos about
255. 9:45trading while everyone else was asleep,
256. 9:48feeling you like you're this close to
257. 9:50figuring it out,
258. 9:52you already know exactly what that phase
259. 9:55feels like.
260. 9:56And this is what I would describe as the
261. 9:57lonely chapter.
262. 10:00And the thing is at first things
263. 10:01actually went surprisingly well, right?
264. 10:04Sometimes I managed to make some good
265. 10:06old profits, right? Managed to win a few
266. 10:08trades. Beginner's luck.
267. 10:10Uh that caused me to turn $500 into
268. 10:13$8,000 in a few days, right? You can see
269. 10:15the profit screenshot right here. I
270. 10:17remember taking this during my 9:00 to
271. 10:195:00 job at an internship at a real
272. 10:21estate company. That this was the next
273. 10:23job that I worked as after work waiting
274. 10:26tables itself, right? I remember taking
275. 10:27this in the office and I was so happy.
276. 10:29I genuinely thought I figured out. I
277. 10:31genuinely thought I was invincible. I
278. 10:33was the best trader in the entire world.
279. 10:36And I was already doing the math on like
280. 10:37when I'll become a millionaire.
281. 10:40I think every trader has that moment.
282. 10:42You know, that that one week where
283. 10:44you're absolutely convinced you have
284. 10:45cracked the code. And the only question
285. 10:47left is how fast you're going to get
286. 10:49rich. As you might have guessed, right?
287. 10:51The $8,000 that I made,
288. 10:53lost it all in one trade. All of it
289. 10:55gone.
290. 10:58And it wasn't because the strategy was
291. 10:59bad.
292. 11:00It was because I couldn't handle myself
293. 11:02when the pressure was on.
294. 11:05I couldn't control my emotions.
295. 11:09Heck, I didn't even know about risk
296. 11:11management back then.
297. 11:12I was just opening 0.5 lots on a
298. 11:15freaking $500 account. Just
299. 11:18over-leveraging the out of my
300. 11:19account. And I wish I could tell you
301. 11:21that I learned my lesson after that.
302. 11:24But I didn't.
303. 11:25For years I was stuck in the same loop.
304. 11:29I'll find a trading strategy. I would
305. 11:31get excited about the strategy, and then
306. 11:34I'll blow my trading account or a
307. 11:36funding challenge, and I'll repeat the
308. 11:37same cycle over and over again. Find
309. 11:39another strategy, get excited, blow
310. 11:41account, and over and over again.
311. 11:44I was forcing trades because I just
312. 11:46couldn't sit still.
313. 11:47I wanted to make money.
314. 11:49I was copying setups from people on
315. 11:51Instagram who probably wasn't even
316. 11:53trading real money.
317. 11:55I was emotional, reckless, and honestly,
318. 11:58I was just gambling and telling myself
319. 12:01that I was trading.
320. 12:03And if that sounds familiar,
321. 12:05if you've ever gone from indicators to
322. 12:07ICT to price action to SMC all within
323. 12:10the same month because each one looked
324. 12:12promising right up until you put real
325. 12:15money behind it, then you already know
326. 12:17exactly what this loop looks like from
327. 12:19the inside.
328. 12:22In my first year of trading,
329. 12:23just in my first year, I blew seven
330. 12:26trading accounts. I failed six funding
331. 12:29challenges and lost over $10,000.
332. 12:33Now, once again, I'm sharing this
333. 12:34because
334. 12:35some of you guys are in this situation
335. 12:36right now.
336. 12:39And the worst part was that some of that
337. 12:41money was my dad's. You know, money he
338. 12:43earned cleaning houses and fixing
339. 12:45watches.
340. 12:46I will never forget the day where
341. 12:49he gave me $2,000 to me, right? So that
342. 12:52I could actually pay my school fees.
343. 12:54And my dumb ass thought that I could
344. 12:56double it in the markets. So I deposited
345. 12:58it into my trading account.
346. 13:01Took a few trades on gold.
347. 13:03Well, I ended up losing it in two
348. 13:05trades.
349. 13:07And till this day, he still doesn't know
350. 13:09that I lost that that $2,000, but that's
351. 13:11another story for another day.
352. 13:13If you have ever closed your laptop
353. 13:18and just sit there in silence,
354. 13:20staring at nothing, feeling like
355. 13:23something is broken inside you,
356. 13:27I know exactly what it feels like
357. 13:28because I lived there for years.
358. 13:31After the seventh blown account, I was
359. 13:33honestly done. I was like, "You know
360. 13:34what? Maybe this is a scam, right? This
361. 13:36is not real. Trading
362. 13:38is not meant for me. I'm I'm not meant
363. 13:40to be a trader."
364. 13:41So, I logged out of everything. I closed
365. 13:43all of the tabs, exited my trading
366. 13:45platform, closed my trading account, and
367. 13:47I just sat there.
368. 13:49Sat there in silence.
369. 13:52No charts, no YouTube videos, no
370. 13:54motivation Tik Toks.
371. 13:56Just alone in the room in silence.
372. 14:00I was so sick and tired of losing money.
373. 14:04I was so tired of hoping the next trade
374. 14:07would be different.
375. 14:10I was so tired of making the same
376. 14:12promise to myself and breaking them
377. 14:14every single time.
378. 14:17But that silence is what saved me.
379. 14:21Because when everything goes quiet and
380. 14:23there's nothing left to distract you,
381. 14:25you can finally be honest with yourself.
382. 14:29And the question I asked myself was
383. 14:31simple.
384. 14:32What if the strategy was never the
385. 14:34problem?
386. 14:37What if I was the problem?
387. 14:41And the second I actually said it that
388. 14:42honestly, the answer was so god damn
389. 14:44obvious it hurt.
390. 14:47Because the thing is, I tried dozens of
391. 14:49strategies. Some of them were perfectly
392. 14:51good.
393. 14:52Other people made money with the same
394. 14:54setups that I was blowing accounts on.
395. 14:57The only thing was that was the same in
396. 14:59every single failure was me.
397. 15:02I was the common denominator.
398. 15:08My emotions,
399. 15:10my lack of discipline, my inability to
400. 15:13follow a trade plan when real money is
401. 15:16on the line.
402. 15:19So, I stopped looking for a better
403. 15:20strategy and I started building
404. 15:22something completely different.
405. 15:24I built a mechanical system. Not another
406. 15:27strategy, a system.
407. 15:29Clear rules for when to enter, when to
408. 15:32exit, and how much money to risk on each
409. 15:34trade.
410. 15:36Rules that didn't care how I was feeling
411. 15:38on that day.
412. 15:41And that one change didn't just fix my
413. 15:43trading.
414. 15:44It changed who I was.
415. 15:46How I showed up, how I make decisions,
416. 15:49how I handle the losing.
417. 15:52Because I wasn't relying on willpower
418. 15:53anymore. I was relying on a process.
419. 15:57And the process doesn't panic when the
420. 15:59market move against you.
421. 16:03Since then, I've made over $3 million in
422. 16:06trading profits.
423. 16:08And I didn't do it quietly. Like I said,
424. 16:10every single trade, wins and losses,
425. 16:12documented on YouTube for over 1.5
426. 16:15million subscribers to see.
427. 16:17Because if you're going to teach this,
428. 16:18people deserve to see the receipts.
429. 16:21Now, most importantly, I've helped over
430. 16:241,500 students get funded.
431. 16:27Hundreds of them are now making 10K to
432. 16:2950K a month consistently.
433. 16:32And on a personal level, I made my first
434. 16:35million dollars before I hit 21, and I
435. 16:37retired my father. Fully retired him.
436. 16:40He's enjoying his life right now,
437. 16:41traveling wherever he want.
438. 16:43And everything, every trip is paid for,
439. 16:46every nice expensive meal in the
440. 16:48restaurant is paid for. He's living the
441. 16:50dream.
442. 16:51The man who spent his whole life working
443. 16:53three jobs so that I could eat, now he's
444. 16:55getting fat, sitting on the couch,
445. 16:57watching TV every single day because
446. 16:59he's got nothing nothing else to do.
447. 17:01And I also gave my mom everything she
448. 17:03used to pray for in silence. Whatever
449. 17:06that she wants, I buy it for her.
450. 17:08In fact, just last month, as you guys
451. 17:11know, I almost made a million dollars in
452. 17:13day trading,
453. 17:14I ended up buying her her dream
454. 17:16Mercedes-Benz, which cost me 400k. Yes,
455. 17:19I know cars in Singapore extremely
456. 17:21expensive.
457. 17:24I also bought my dream penthouse at age
458. 17:26of 23 which cost me nearly 2 million
459. 17:28dollars. Every single morning I go to
460. 17:30the balcony and the balcony literally
461. 17:33have like this is beautiful view of
462. 17:34Singapore and I'm just remind myself how
463. 17:37grateful I am of
464. 17:39Mr. Market.
465. 17:41All of these blessings was thanks to Mr.
466. 17:45The Market. But I need to understand
467. 17:46something. None of that happened because
468. 17:49I found some secret strategy.
469. 17:52It happened because I stopped chasing
470. 17:54setups and build a system that force me
471. 17:56to execute properly whether I feel like
472. 17:58it or not.
473. 18:00And now my entire mission is to make
474. 18:02trading a real income stream for as many
475. 18:05people as I possibly can because what it
476. 18:07did for my life and for my family, I
477. 18:10want that for you too.
478. 18:12That's why we are here right now.
479. 18:13Remember earlier on when I told you that
480. 18:15I told my mom that one day I'm going to
481. 18:18be rich and when I do I will help others
482. 18:20get there.
483. 18:22Since I became quite well off myself,
484. 18:24that's exactly what I've committed my
485. 18:25life to. That's why I do what I do. So
486. 18:28that's my story and if you have taken
487. 18:30anything from my story, let it be this.
488. 18:33Your current situation means nothing if
489. 18:37you are willing to change your habits,
490. 18:38change your standards and keep showing
491. 18:41up long enough for your dream life to
492. 18:43catch up.
493. 18:44Success is not built in one moment. It's
494. 18:46not built in one big win. It's built in
495. 18:49the small decisions that nobody sees.
496. 18:52It's built in the work that is done in
497. 18:54private when nobody is clapping.
498. 18:57And if I can go from someone who's
499. 18:59broke, absolutely nothing to building my
500. 19:02dream life through trading, then your
501. 19:05life can change too.
502. 19:06But only if you decide that you are no
503. 19:09longer available for the old version of
504. 19:11yourself.
505. 19:13This 30-day mentorship series is
506. 19:15honestly everything that I wish I had
507. 19:17when I first started trading.
508. 19:19When I started, I was lost. I was
509. 19:21confused. I was overwhelmed. I was
510. 19:23directionless. I was making mistakes I
511. 19:26didn't even know I was making.
512. 19:28And I had to learn most of them the hard
513. 19:29way. Nobody laid it out for me. I didn't
514. 19:32have a mentor. Nobody had a road map for
515. 19:35me. Nobody sat me down and say, "Hey,
516. 19:37here's what you should do. Here's what
517. 19:39you should ignore. And here's how to
518. 19:41become profitable. Here's the road map."
519. 19:43Nobody did that for me.
520. 19:44And because nobody did that for me, I'm
521. 19:47going to do it for you.
522. 19:49But in return, I need something from
523. 19:51you. Nothing is free, right?
524. 19:54I need you to commit.
525. 19:55I need you to take this series
526. 19:57seriously. I need you to treat this
527. 20:00mentorship and just focus and just study
528. 20:03as if your life depends on it.
529. 20:05Don't just watch it for entertainment.
530. 20:07Study it. Take down notes. Apply the
531. 20:10concepts. Practice it.
532. 20:13And if you're really in, not like half
533. 20:15in half out, but if you're all in,
534. 20:18I want you guys to go down to the
535. 20:20comments right now and comment, "I'm
536. 20:22committed."
537. 20:24Because for the next 30 days, we're
538. 20:26going to lock in together, you and me.
539. 20:28All right, we're going to lock in
540. 20:29together and we're going to get you to
541. 20:30the stage where you're able to analyze
542. 20:32the charts confidently
543. 20:35so that you can actually trade
544. 20:36profitably.
545. 20:38So once again, I appreciate you for
546. 20:39being here.
547. 20:41Thank you for taking part in this 30-day
548. 20:42boot camp and let's get to work.
549. 20:46And I'll see you in episode one.
550. 20:48Remember, you're just one trade away.
