Market Mechanics Ep 1: How to Trade Like the Top 1% — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Most traders spend years jumping from
- 0:02strategy to strategy, trying different
- 0:05indicators, copying random internet
- 0:09gurus, and looking for the holy grail.
- 0:12That was me, too. I was once in your
- 0:14exact position.
- 0:15And the reason most traders stay stuck
- 0:18is because they never truly understand
- 0:21how the market actually move.
- 0:24They are taught these surface-level
- 0:26patterns. Oh, memorize this candlestick
- 0:28pattern. Remember this chart pattern.
- 0:30And when it does appear in the market,
- 0:32enter for a sell. But not the real
- 0:35mechanics behind price. And that is
- 0:37exactly why I created what I call market
- 0:41mechanics.
- 0:42Before we get into episode one of this
- 0:45free 30-day mentorship series, I want to
- 0:47make this episode zero. Because before I
- 0:50teach you the strategy, the concepts,
- 0:52the framework, I want you to understand
- 0:54what market mechanics actually is, how I
- 0:57discovered it, why it works. I'm going
- 0:59to show you proof that it doesn't just
- 1:01work for me, but it also works for
- 1:03hundreds and thousands of traders,
- 1:05ordinary traders just like yourself, and
- 1:08what you're going to learn over the next
- 1:0930 days. Right? So, this episode is
- 1:11going to be like a prerequisite for the
- 1:14entire series.
- 1:15So, let's talk about why, or rather how
- 1:17I actually discovered this magical
- 1:19strategy called market mechanics. Back
- 1:21when I was figuring out what works in
- 1:23trading, I didn't know what strategy to
- 1:25use.
- 1:26Everywhere I looked, there was a new
- 1:28guru, a new trading strategy, a new
- 1:31promise of a holy grail system that
- 1:34would finally make me consistent.
- 1:36One day it'll be ICT concepts. Another
- 1:39day it'll be smart money concepts.
- 1:40Another day it'll be price action.
- 1:42Another day it'll be this magical
- 1:44indicator bundle with the RSI and the
- 1:47Bollinger Bands. And if the freaking
- 1:49lines cross over, you should enter for a
- 1:51buy. And then another day it'll be
- 1:53candlestick patterns. Another day it'll
- 1:54be chart patterns. I didn't know which
- 1:57strategy to choose because I was drowned
- 1:59in information.
- 2:01So, as a result, I tried them all.
- 2:03I consumed everything on the internet
- 2:06that I could get my hands on because I
- 2:07thought to myself that the more
- 2:09strategies I learn, the better I will
- 2:11become, right? This means that I can
- 2:13better understand the market, how it
- 2:16actually works.
- 2:17But, instead of gaining more clarity,
- 2:20I was actually becoming more
- 2:23overwhelmed. I became even more confused
- 2:25than I started in the first place
- 2:27because I realized that every single
- 2:29strategy actually work. Price action
- 2:31work, ICT work, smart money concepts
- 2:33work. And if all of these concepts work,
- 2:35which some of them is like conflicting
- 2:37and overlapping with each other, then
- 2:39which one should I use?
- 2:42So, I did something out of desperation.
- 2:45Not inspiration, but out of desperation.
- 2:47I bought a plain notebook just like
- 2:49this,
- 2:50and I wrote on the cover
- 2:52the market mechanics blueprint, the
- 2:55playbook. Okay, let me see whether the
- 2:57camera is actually like zooming in so
- 2:59you guys can see like what I'm just
- 3:01showing you guys on the screen. So, this
- 3:03was what I created, all right? Like,
- 3:05this is literally the notebook where I
- 3:08actually wrote down all the market
- 3:09mechanics concepts.
- 3:12This became my safe place, right?
- 3:13Inside, I wrote down everything I was
- 3:17learning. Okay, so I would look down the
- 3:19freaking smart money concepts, the ICT
- 3:21concepts, the liquidity concepts, the
- 3:24price action concepts. You know, I I
- 3:26wrote down everything.
- 3:28But, I didn't really write down like
- 3:30everything that I learned. I only wrote
- 3:32down the things that I've learned that
- 3:35actually proven to be working, right?
- 3:37Like, proven based on my own
- 3:39experiences, based on the trades that
- 3:41I've been taking, based on data, right?
- 3:43So, I pretty much write down
- 3:47that every single concept from every
- 3:49single a that was working for me.
- 3:52So, if it's about order blocks and I
- 3:55realized that order blocks work, then I
- 3:56put it in here.
- 3:57Right? If it's about, you know, um
- 4:00let's say
- 4:02flip zones or even like liquidity
- 4:04concepts, if I test it out and it
- 4:07worked, it went in here. Right? So, this
- 4:09notebook became my trading Bible.
- 4:13All right? Like this was literally like
- 4:15my reference. I would actually go
- 4:16through this every single day. And not
- 4:18only was I writing down the theory and I
- 4:21learning the concepts, I was also
- 4:23applying them and practicing them
- 4:25religiously every single day. Just
- 4:28holding my sword. Just, you know,
- 4:30getting better at trading.
- 4:33So, once again,
- 4:35this
- 4:36is all tried and tested. Okay? So, trade
- 4:40after trade, journal after journal, I
- 4:43treated the market like a laboratory,
- 4:46right? I wanted to see what actually
- 4:47worked. Not just in one trade, but
- 4:50across a large sample size, across 100
- 4:52trades, across 500 trades.
- 4:55And slowly when I do that, the more
- 4:57testing I do, the more data I collect,
- 5:00the more I realize that right, like
- 5:04all of all of these different
- 5:05strategies, price action, smart money,
- 5:07ICT concepts, there is about like 30% of
- 5:11these
- 5:12you know, concepts or lessons that are
- 5:14worth absorbing. And then the other 70%
- 5:16is just fluff. It's just that
- 5:18doesn't work. Okay? Like for example, in
- 5:20ICT, displacement and order blocks work
- 5:25really, really well. In smart money
- 5:26concepts, liquidity, imbalance work
- 5:30really, really well. And then for price
- 5:31action, break of structure, market
- 5:33structure, um looking at the momentum
- 5:36and the pressure of the candlestick work
- 5:38really, really well.
- 5:39Right? So, piece by piece, I stripped
- 5:41away the noise, all the fluff that just
- 5:43doesn't work within all of these
- 5:44different strategies, and I pulled out
- 5:46the parts that consistently delivered.
- 5:49That actually worked based on data.
- 5:52And this is where
- 5:53I built a blueprint just like this,
- 5:55which is a distilled playbook of what
- 5:57really moved the market.
- 5:59And I decided to call it Market
- 6:01Mechanics.
- 6:03So, that's like the origin story behind
- 6:05Market Mechanics. And at the point of
- 6:07time when I was creating this document,
- 6:09I didn't realize how big this would
- 6:11become.
- 6:12Right? To me, it was just, you know,
- 6:14something that I created out of
- 6:15desperation. It was just something that
- 6:17I created to survive in the market.
- 6:21Right? It was just like my way of trying
- 6:23to make sense of all of this chaos and
- 6:25complexity of the market.
- 6:27But over the years, that playbook became
- 6:29my edge.
- 6:31I used it to build my trading plan. It
- 6:33helped me go from blowing accounts and
- 6:35questioning my worth to becoming
- 6:38consistently profitable, to now even to
- 6:41the point where I'm making six figures a
- 6:42month consistently from the market.
- 6:45As you guys have seen on my second
- 6:47channel, Brett Trades.
- 6:51And the best part is that when I started
- 6:54sharing it with my students and you guys
- 6:57in around 2024,
- 6:59it became the framework that has now
- 7:00impacted millions of people all around
- 7:03the world.
- 7:05And that's the beautiful part. Because
- 7:07Market Mechanics wasn't born from some
- 7:09random textbook or some academic
- 7:12background, it was born from pain. It
- 7:15was born from me losing money, blowing
- 7:18accounts, failing funding challenges,
- 7:20trying to figure everything out by
- 7:22myself.
- 7:23It was born from trial and error. It was
- 7:26born from the relentless pursuit of
- 7:28answers in a world that only seemed to
- 7:29give me more confusion.
- 7:33And I think that's why it resonates with
- 7:35like so many traders. When you guys see
- 7:37me simplify all of these complicated
- 7:40concepts,
- 7:41you kind of get it. You understand it
- 7:43because it literally came from the
- 7:45trenches. I've been in your exact
- 7:47position, lost probably more money than
- 7:50you did, figure everything out, right,
- 7:52by bleeding in the battlefield on a
- 7:54daily basis.
- 7:55And that's what allowed me to really get
- 7:57a deep understanding of these concepts
- 7:59in order for me to simplify it at a
- 8:01fifth grade level.
- 8:03Yeah, so it didn't come from a textbook.
- 8:05It literally came when I was in the
- 8:07trenches, right, fighting the war.
- 8:10And I think the moral of the lesson um
- 8:12the the moral of this story is that you
- 8:15don't win in trading by copying someone
- 8:17else's strategy.
- 8:19You win by developing your own edge.
- 8:23Yes.
- 8:24Take market mechanics, right? Take price
- 8:26action concepts, take smart money
- 8:27concepts, whatever, right? Try
- 8:29everything out. And then take what works
- 8:32and discard what doesn't. And then build
- 8:34a playbook that is truly yours, just
- 8:37like this.
- 8:39Okay? That's what the next 30 days about
- 8:42is about. I'm going to give you all the
- 8:44profitable concepts and lessons that you
- 8:47need to become profitable.
- 8:49But maybe you might not resonate with
- 8:51some of them. You might resonate with
- 8:5350% of them. You might resonate with 80%
- 8:55of them. If that's the case, whatever it
- 8:57is, right, take what you like, take what
- 8:59works for you, test it out, right, over
- 9:02a large sample size, 100 trades, 500
- 9:05trades, and then based on data, decide
- 9:08what to keep in your trading plan and
- 9:09what to discard.
- 9:11Right? That's what profitable trading is
- 9:13about. That's what professional trading
- 9:14is about. It's about this continuous
- 9:19phase of like just keep on learning,
- 9:21getting better, refining, improving, and
- 9:24then going back to the trenches and
- 9:26learning, improving, reflecting, and
- 9:29learning, improving, and reflecting. You
- 9:30get the point. Market mechanics is
- 9:33basically a combination of the most
- 9:36profitable parts of all the strategies
- 9:39I've learned in the past 7 years.
- 9:41Price action SMC ICT concepts whatever,
- 9:44I take the stuff that actually work from
- 9:45these concepts and I
- 9:47combine all of them together which forms
- 9:49market mechanics.
- 9:51Quite simply put, market mechanics is
- 9:52the way I understand
- 9:55and trade the market based on how price
- 9:57truly move.
- 9:59Once again, it's not about random
- 10:01indicators. It's not about asking you to
- 10:03buy and sell at this
- 10:05thing when lines cross over. It's not
- 10:07about asking you to memorize some
- 10:08Bermuda triangle pattern. No.
- 10:11It is built on understanding structural
- 10:14liquidity, imbalance, timing,
- 10:18institutional zones, execution, trading
- 10:21psychology.
- 10:24It's about learning the hidden logic
- 10:25behind the price action so you can stop
- 10:28trading emotionally and start trading
- 10:30with clarity.
- 10:33Okay, like literally just yesterday
- 10:35I took a trade on GJ and I managed to
- 10:38won the trade using the exact concept
- 10:41which I'm about to teach you over the
- 10:43next 30 days, right? The exact same
- 10:45market mechanics framework.
- 10:48So yeah,
- 10:49and once again, maybe this is another
- 10:51common like question or objection that
- 10:53you might have. Brett, I've tried every
- 10:55single trading strategy under the sun,
- 10:57right?
- 10:58Like what makes your strategy different
- 11:00from the other strategies?
- 11:02Well, most strategies out there they
- 11:04teach you what to do,
- 11:06but they don't teach you why price is
- 11:08moving.
- 11:09And as a result, what happens is that
- 11:11you learn the setups in isolation.
- 11:13You learn how to enter the trade without
- 11:16context.
- 11:17You learn about indicators without
- 11:19understanding why price move in the
- 11:21first place. And I can tell you
- 11:23it sure as hell isn't because of the
- 11:25fact that the two lines cross over,
- 11:27okay?
- 11:28Market mechanics is different because it
- 11:30teaches you how to actually read the
- 11:32market first.
- 11:33It give you a mechanical framework, not
- 11:36just the signal on when to enter, when
- 11:38to sell. And once again, just to show
- 11:40you proof that this strategy works.
- 11:44I myself have been documenting every
- 11:47single trade that I've been taking since
- 11:50I started this entire trading journey.
- 11:52If you go to my main YouTube channel,
- 11:53The Trading Geek, and you sort my videos
- 11:55out by the oldest, you will literally
- 11:57see videos of me making
- 11:59$100 and $10 trading price action. You
- 12:02will see videos of me talking about how
- 12:04I just left my 9-to-5 job to focus on
- 12:06trading. You will see videos of me back
- 12:08in 2022, back in the COVID-19 era, where
- 12:13I was making $4,000, and I finally made
- 12:15my $10,000 a month, right? I pretty much
- 12:17documented my entire trading journey
- 12:20from the time that I was,
- 12:22you know, broke, not really profitable,
- 12:24to now making millions of dollars from
- 12:27day trading. Right? Like since the start
- 12:29of last year, 2025,
- 12:32I've literally dedicated my life to just
- 12:36documenting literally every single live
- 12:39trade I take on my multi-seven-figure
- 12:41account. Right? So, if you sort my
- 12:42videos out by the oldest on Break
- 12:44Trades, you will see, you know,
- 12:46me making this amount, me making this
- 12:47amount, me losing money, right? Me
- 12:49making money, and so on and so forth.
- 12:51Literally just been transparently
- 12:53recording and documenting and posting
- 12:56every single trade I've taken since the
- 12:58start of this year itself.
- 13:00last year. Right? So, you can literally
- 13:01see all my wins, all my losses. You can
- 13:04still literally see how I enter and exit
- 13:06the trade all on my second channel. And
- 13:08most importantly, you are able to see me
- 13:10apply market mechanics in real time in
- 13:13live market conditions.
- 13:15Right? So,
- 13:16my point here is that I'm not asking you
- 13:18to trust this because it sounds good.
- 13:19I'm not asking you to trust me because I
- 13:21got 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube.
- 13:23I'm not asking you to trust me because
- 13:25I'm very good looking, all right? No.
- 13:28I'm asking you to look at the cold, hard
- 13:30proof. I'm asking you to look at the
- 13:31numbers because numbers don't lie.
- 13:34And that proof includes my own results,
- 13:36my documented trades,
- 13:38and most importantly, the results of my
- 13:42students who have applied the same
- 13:44principles.
- 13:46Okay, so before I show you the results,
- 13:47I just want to tell you that these are
- 13:49the people who are in your exact
- 13:51position. Some might even be in your in
- 13:54a worse position than you are, all
- 13:55right? So these are the people that were
- 13:57in your exact position, they join us,
- 13:59they get mentored, and then they start
- 14:01seeing consistency. They start getting
- 14:03clarity and confidence when analyzing
- 14:05the charts, and they start just, you
- 14:07know, becoming really competent and as a
- 14:09result go on to become really
- 14:10profitable.
- 14:12Okay, so just like how Syed over here
- 14:14turned $10,000 to $291,000
- 14:17trading in 12 months, how somebody made
- 14:19$123,000
- 14:21trading in 3 months, how Yusuf got
- 14:23funded with 850k
- 14:26in 8 months, how Ali made 25k in 2
- 14:28months, how Mustafa turned $200 into
- 14:31400k in funding after 6 months, how
- 14:33Anmol made 30k trading in 3 months, and
- 14:36it's not just for one or two or three or
- 14:38five students, it's for
- 14:41hundreds of students, by far even
- 14:44thousands of students out there who
- 14:46apply the same concepts, got funded,
- 14:49became profitable, made anywhere from 5k
- 14:51to 10k a month, and so on and so forth,
- 14:54right? So at any point of time, you can
- 14:55just pause this video and just go
- 14:57through the student uh student results
- 14:59if you don't believe in market
- 15:00mechanics, right? So once again, more
- 15:02results right here, people getting
- 15:03funded,
- 15:05more people getting funded, more people
- 15:07getting funded, getting payouts, right?
- 15:09Here's even more, right? People from all
- 15:11over the world, right? From Europe, from
- 15:13USA, from UK, from Southeast Asia,
- 15:17right? Literally goes to show that like
- 15:20anybody and everybody, regardless of
- 15:22their race, religion, political belief,
- 15:25gender, as long as you apply this
- 15:27mechanical framework, you will succeed.
- 15:30Okay, so, yeah, more results, right? I
- 15:33can go on and on and on and on and as
- 15:35you can see, right? You can just pause
- 15:36this video and just see the sheer amount
- 15:38of like student results that we have
- 15:39collected for ourselves over the past 1
- 15:42year or so, right? There's just so many
- 15:44student results. For more testimonials,
- 15:46you can check out our YouTube channel,

- 17:17getting funded. People making payouts.
- 17:19It just excite me seeing all of this
- 17:21stuff because of the amount of life that
- 17:24I have changed with market mechanics.
- 17:26I'm not showing you this so that you can
- 17:29buy my course on mentorship program or
- 17:31you can buy my software EdgeFlow.
- 17:34I'm showing you this to prove to you
- 17:37that this strategy works. And it doesn't
- 17:40just work for me, it works for hundreds
- 17:42of students. So, the question is why not
- 17:46you? If it can work for them, why can't

- 18:12genuinely want to see you succeed.
- 18:15That's the reason why I'm doing this.
- 18:17That's the reason why I'm spending the
- 18:19next 30 days just teaching you like
- 18:22everything that I know about market
- 18:24mechanics so you have all the tools that
- 18:25you need to become a profitable trader.
- 18:29All right, so yeah, it's it's not like
- 18:30at the end of these 30 days I'm going to
- 18:32try to force you to buy my course, join
- 18:34my mentorship program, join my couch, or
- 18:37like buy my software. I don't care what
- 18:39anyone does, right? I created those
- 18:41businesses, right? The 1% Club, which is
- 18:43my mentorship program, and EdgeFlow,
- 18:45which is my trading super app, because I
- 18:47want to help traders.
- 18:48I want to ensure that I give you all the
- 18:51tools, all the education you need to
- 18:52succeed. And if you do want to get those
- 18:55products,
- 18:56just know that
- 18:58when you enter and enroll into those
- 18:59products, we are going to help you get
- 19:01there. We are going to help you unlock
- 19:02profitability.
- 19:04All right, so that's the only difference
- 19:05between me and other gurus out there.
- 19:08It's really I just love you guys. I do
- 19:10about you guys. I want to see you
- 19:12succeed because I know what it's like to
- 19:14be broke, inconsistent, living in fear,
- 19:17living in scarcity every single day, not
- 19:19knowing when I can pay my bills, you
- 19:20know, thinking like whether trading is
- 19:22actually for me. I know what it feels
- 19:24like. Right, that's the reason why I'm
- 19:26doing all of this.
- 19:28So, over the next 30 days, what I'm
- 19:30going to do is that I'm going to break
- 19:33down everything about market mechanics
- 19:35from how the market actually move, how
- 19:37to trade Forex, Japanese candlestick,
- 19:40market structure, institutional zones,
- 19:42premium and discount, liquidity
- 19:44concepts, what's the best time to trade,
- 19:46multi-time frame analysis, how to manage
- 19:49your risk like a professional,
- 19:51how to actually manage your emotions,
- 19:53how to actually think and trade like a
- 19:55profitable trader. I'm going to give you
- 19:58everything you need.
- 20:00And by the end of those 30 days, you
- 20:01will be a completely
- 20:04different person than you started the
- 20:06series in the first place. That's my big
- 20:08promise to you.
- 20:10And I want to end off this video by, you
- 20:12know, just telling you guys
- 20:14that
- 20:15right now, the reason why you are
- 20:17unprofitable is because
- 20:20you have been doing the same things over
- 20:21and over again and expecting different
- 20:23results.
- 20:25Your P&L is simply a reflection of your
- 20:27character.
- 20:28Your P&L is simply a reflection of you
- 20:31because the market is a mirror. So, if
- 20:34you don't like what you see in the
- 20:35mirror, guess what? You should be
- 20:38focused on changing the person in the
- 20:39mirror.
- 20:41So, if you want to change your trading
- 20:43results, you first need to change
- 20:46yourself. You need to change the way you
- 20:48think, act, and feel on a daily basis as
- 20:51a trader.
- 20:53You need to think the thoughts that a
- 20:55professional trader would think.
- 20:57Would a professional trader think that
- 20:59he's at trading?
- 21:01Or would he have absolute confidence in
- 21:03his trading ability and his trading
- 21:05plan?
- 21:06You need to act like a professional
- 21:08trader.
- 21:09Will a professional trader revenge trade
- 21:11after a losing streak? Will he force
- 21:13trades when there's no opportunities?
- 21:15No.
- 21:16He'll be following his trading plan.
- 21:18He'll be journaling after a losing
- 21:19streak.
- 21:21And most importantly, you need to feel
- 21:23like a professional trader before you
- 21:24become one.
- 21:26What does a professional trader feel on
- 21:27a daily basis?
- 21:29He's confident. He's calm. He's
- 21:31disciplined. He's focused.
- 21:33He has an abundance mentality.
- 21:36Oh, this trade went without me. It's
- 21:39fine. The next trade idea will appear in
- 21:41the market over the next 5 minutes or
- 21:43over the next 15 minutes because there
- 21:45is an abundant of opportunities in the
- 21:48market.
- 21:49So, I'm not going to be chasing the
- 21:50market. The market is going to be coming
- 21:53at to a price point which I want to
- 21:54enter and then I enter for the market.
- 21:57And when you start to change the way you
- 21:59think, act, and feel as a trader,
- 22:02what starts to happen is that your
- 22:03reality starts changing. You start
- 22:06getting the results of a professional
- 22:07trader as well. So, in some way, shape,
- 22:09or form, you are literally manifesting
- 22:11your dream reality
- 22:13by changing your emotional state, by
- 22:16changing your behavior, by changing your
- 22:19thoughts.
- 22:21Right? So, remember this. Your P&L is
- 22:24simply a reflection of your habits, your
- 22:26discipline, your emotional control, and
- 22:29your identity.
- 22:32So, if you want to change your P&L,
- 22:33start by changing yourself.
- 22:38So, here's the house rules for this
- 22:40entire series, right? For this entire
- 22:4230-day series. I want you guys to watch
- 22:44every single lesson from start to
- 22:46finish. Don't skip around, you know,
- 22:48don't tell yourself like, "Oh, I
- 22:50didn't know market structure, so I'm not
- 22:53going to watch this lesson." No.
- 22:56Be humble.
- 22:57Adopt some humility. Be a lifelong
- 22:59student of the market. Wipe away
- 23:02everything that you have learned from
- 23:03the market so far, forget everything
- 23:05that you have learned about the market
- 23:06so far and start this series with a
- 23:08fresh mind.
- 23:10Because after all, if you are already so
- 23:13good, you would already be profitable
- 23:15and you wouldn't be watching this
- 23:17Okay? If you're watching this is because
- 23:20either you're not profitable or you want
- 23:22to take your trading to the next level.
- 23:24And in order for you to become
- 23:25profitable or take your trading to the
- 23:27next level and become more profitable,
- 23:30you cannot be doing the same things and
- 23:32expecting different results. You need to
- 23:34change. Change the way you see the
- 23:36market. Change yourself.
- 23:38Right? So, I want you to watch every
- 23:40single lesson from start to finish.
- 23:43And most importantly, watch in
- 23:46chronological order. Right? So, watch
- 23:48from episode 1 to episode 2 to episode
- 23:503, not episode 5 then 10 to 12 or
- 23:53whenever like you you whatever topic
- 23:55that you feel like watching. No. Watch
- 23:57from 0 all the way to 31.
- 24:00Right? Just watch in this exact order. 0
- 24:031 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Right? Just watch
- 24:07in this particular order itself.
- 24:10And I want you guys, when you guys are
- 24:12watching these lessons, focus. Right?
- 24:15Focus. No distractions. No scrolling
- 24:18TikTok on your with your hand on
- 24:21uh on your phone. No watching Netflix
- 24:23while watching my No. Focus. No
- 24:26distractions
- 24:28and just take down notes. All right? So,
- 24:31have a notebook by your side or open up
- 24:32a Google document. Take down notes.
- 24:34Synthesize what I'm saying. Right? Just
- 24:37get really really deep understanding of
- 24:40all of these concepts that I'm about to
- 24:42share.
- 24:43And last but not least, practice and
- 24:45apply what you learn.
- 24:47Knowledge is useless without
- 24:48implementation.
- 24:50Knowledge alone has never made anybody
- 24:52rich and profitable and wealthy. All
- 24:54right? It's always the application of
- 24:56the knowledge itself.
- 24:58So,
- 25:00synthesize all of this information,
- 25:02really get a deep understanding of this,
- 25:05and then go and practice. And then go
- 25:06and apply what you've learned onto the
- 25:08charts. And as time passes, what happens
- 25:10is that you get better and better at
- 25:12analyzing the charts. And 1 year from
- 25:14now, or even 30 days from now,
- 25:16you'll realize that, "Damn, I can
- 25:18actually analyze the charts with
- 25:19confidence now, because I know exactly
- 25:21what price is doing." And this way, I
- 25:24can actually develop my right trade
- 25:26bias, which means that I can trade with
- 25:28the smart money rather than against
- 25:30them.
- 25:31So, I I can't emphasize like how
- 25:33important these house rules are.
- 25:36Because the next 30 days could perhaps
- 25:38be like
- 25:40the best 30 days you will ever
- 25:41experience as a trader. And I'm
- 25:43literally giving all of this for
- 25:45free, right? All the secret sauce for
- 25:47absolutely free, because I genuinely
- 25:49want to see you win.
- 25:51Right? I'm not doing this so that you
- 25:52can buy my course. Like I said, I'm
- 25:54doing this so that I can help you win.
- 25:57I'm rooting for you, man. So, please do
- 26:00me a favor and take all of this
- 26:03knowledge and apply it so that you can
- 26:05actually get the results that you
- 26:06desire. Because if you don't, then I'm
- 26:09doing all of this for nothing. I'm
- 26:11slaving the next 30 days for nothing.
- 26:13Right? So, please, right now, look at
- 26:16me, man to man or woman to man, look at
- 26:19me in my eyes and promise me
- 26:22that you will do the work. Promise me
- 26:24that you will watch the lessons from
- 26:25start to the end. Promise me you will
- 26:27apply everything that I'm about to teach
- 26:29you over the next 30 days.
- 26:31Promise me that you will commit to
- 26:34becoming better, to becoming more
- 26:36disciplined, to becoming a profitable
- 26:38trader, to thinking, acting, and feeling
- 26:40like a professional trader.
- 26:43All right. Now that you've promised me,
- 26:44I will hold you onto it, right? I will
- 26:46hold you accountable.
- 26:48So, if you break that promise, you're
- 26:49essentially lying to Brad, all And you
- 26:51don't want to lie to brand. Nothing good
- 26:53has ever happened from lying to brand.
- 26:55So,
- 26:56yeah.
- 26:57And I will end off with this beautiful
- 26:59quote which
- 27:01I actually written and posted on my X
- 27:02account.
- 27:04The world belongs to the optimist who
- 27:06can do boring, repetitive work for an
- 27:09extended period of time without needing
- 27:12any external validation or immediate
- 27:14results.
- 27:16Anyone can grind when they are motivated
- 27:18or praised.
- 27:20But very few can grind when nobody's
- 27:22watching.
- 27:24You are rewarded in public for the work
- 27:26done in private.
- 27:28It's not about what you do when
- 27:30everybody is clapping, it's about what
- 27:31you do when nobody's watching.
- 27:34It's about what you do in the early
- 27:35mornings, the late nights, right? When
- 27:38you're grinding alone in your room.
- 27:41That's what
- 27:43creates success.
- 27:44That's what creates change.
- 27:48So,
- 27:50the optimistic set big ass goals, hairy,
- 27:53audacious goals,
- 27:55and then show up every single day to
- 27:57ensure that you're inching one step
- 27:59closer towards those grand the delusions
- 28:02of grandeur that you have set for
- 28:04yourself.
- 28:05Because I believe in you. Even if nobody
- 28:07does, right? Even if the naysayers and
- 28:09the doubters out there are saying
- 28:11like trading is not for you. Oh,
- 28:13trading's a scam. No way you can succeed
- 28:15at trading. Only the people on Wall
- 28:17Street can succeed at trading. Oh, bad
- 28:20strategies doesn't work. You know,
- 28:21market mechanics doesn't work. F what
- 28:24they say.
- 28:25Right? Who cares about what other people
- 28:26say? It's your life. Okay? It's your
- 28:29life, which means I need you to take
- 28:30extreme ownership over every aspect of
- 28:33your life, including your trading.
- 28:37Because in life you can either
- 28:40be a victim or a victor.
- 28:45You can either
- 28:47succumb to the rules of the game, or you
- 28:49can, you know, play the game.
- 28:52Right?
- 28:53And my best advice would be to play the
- 28:54game with whatever hand that life dealt
- 28:57you with.
- 28:58There's no going back to changing the
- 29:00past. There's no way to change your
- 29:02circumstances which got you to where you
- 29:04are right now. But there is a way for
- 29:06you to change your future. There is a
- 29:08way for you to change your life
- 29:12by learning this right here. Right?
- 29:14And by applying them, by getting really,
- 29:16really good at trading. So good at
- 29:18trading that
- 29:19eventually you will never ever have to
- 29:20worry about money ever again.
- 29:22And that's the stage that I'm at right
- 29:24now.
- 29:25You know, living a life of abundance
- 29:27where I can bring my family to wherever
- 29:30they want, right? I literally just
- 29:32bought my mom a dream car like last
- 29:34week. And then I also literally just
- 29:36bought my father his dream vacation in
- 29:38Korea last week, all in the same week,
- 29:40which is crazy. And I'm just so grateful
- 29:43that I was like, "You know what, man?
- 29:45All of this stuff is great,
- 29:47but I want you guys to experience those
- 29:49stuff as well. I want you guys to
- 29:50experience, you know, like the
- 29:51blessings. I want you guys to experience
- 29:54this life of abundance where you too can
- 29:56take care of your family, you too can
- 29:58live your dream life, you too can travel
- 29:59the world, or do whatever that you
- 30:01want."
- 30:03Yeah.
- 30:04So, that's why I'm doing this, right?
- 30:06That's why I'm doing this, so that I can
- 30:08have you guys get there as well.
- 30:10And
- 30:11I triple guarantee you that if you take
- 30:13this serious if you take this serious
- 30:15seriously,
- 30:17you study properly, you actually apply
- 30:20what I teach, the next 30 days could
- 30:23completely change the way you see the
- 30:25market.
- 30:27So,
- 30:28commit to the process, commit to the
- 30:31lessons.
- 30:32And with that being said, let's begin
- 30:34with the Market Mechanics Mentorship
- 30:36series.
- 30:37And I look forward to seeing you in the
- 30:39first episode. And as always, remember
- 30:42you are just one trade away.
