  1. 0:00Most traders spend years jumping from
  2. 0:02strategy to strategy, trying different
  3. 0:05indicators, copying random internet
  4. 0:09gurus, and looking for the holy grail.
  5. 0:12That was me, too. I was once in your
  6. 0:14exact position.
  7. 0:15And the reason most traders stay stuck
  8. 0:18is because they never truly understand
  9. 0:21how the market actually move.
  10. 0:24They are taught these surface-level
  11. 0:26patterns. Oh, memorize this candlestick
  12. 0:28pattern. Remember this chart pattern.
  13. 0:30And when it does appear in the market,
  14. 0:32enter for a sell. But not the real
  15. 0:35mechanics behind price. And that is
  16. 0:37exactly why I created what I call market
  17. 0:41mechanics.
  18. 0:42Before we get into episode one of this
  19. 0:45free 30-day mentorship series, I want to
  20. 0:47make this episode zero. Because before I
  21. 0:50teach you the strategy, the concepts,
  22. 0:52the framework, I want you to understand
  23. 0:54what market mechanics actually is, how I
  24. 0:57discovered it, why it works. I'm going
  25. 0:59to show you proof that it doesn't just
  26. 1:01work for me, but it also works for
  27. 1:03hundreds and thousands of traders,
  28. 1:05ordinary traders just like yourself, and
  29. 1:08what you're going to learn over the next
  30. 1:0930 days. Right? So, this episode is
  31. 1:11going to be like a prerequisite for the
  32. 1:14entire series.
  33. 1:15So, let's talk about why, or rather how
  34. 1:17I actually discovered this magical
  35. 1:19strategy called market mechanics. Back
  36. 1:21when I was figuring out what works in
  37. 1:23trading, I didn't know what strategy to
  38. 1:25use.
  39. 1:26Everywhere I looked, there was a new
  40. 1:28guru, a new trading strategy, a new
  41. 1:31promise of a holy grail system that
  42. 1:34would finally make me consistent.
  43. 1:36One day it'll be ICT concepts. Another
  44. 1:39day it'll be smart money concepts.
  45. 1:40Another day it'll be price action.
  46. 1:42Another day it'll be this magical
  47. 1:44indicator bundle with the RSI and the
  48. 1:47Bollinger Bands. And if the freaking
  49. 1:49lines cross over, you should enter for a
  50. 1:51buy. And then another day it'll be
  51. 1:53candlestick patterns. Another day it'll
  52. 1:54be chart patterns. I didn't know which
  53. 1:57strategy to choose because I was drowned
  54. 1:59in information.
  55. 2:01So, as a result, I tried them all.
  56. 2:03I consumed everything on the internet
  57. 2:06that I could get my hands on because I
  58. 2:07thought to myself that the more
  59. 2:09strategies I learn, the better I will
  60. 2:11become, right? This means that I can
  61. 2:13better understand the market, how it
  62. 2:16actually works.
  63. 2:17But, instead of gaining more clarity,
  64. 2:20I was actually becoming more
  65. 2:23overwhelmed. I became even more confused
  66. 2:25than I started in the first place
  67. 2:27because I realized that every single
  68. 2:29strategy actually work. Price action
  69. 2:31work, ICT work, smart money concepts
  70. 2:33work. And if all of these concepts work,
  71. 2:35which some of them is like conflicting
  72. 2:37and overlapping with each other, then
  73. 2:39which one should I use?
  74. 2:42So, I did something out of desperation.
  75. 2:45Not inspiration, but out of desperation.
  76. 2:47I bought a plain notebook just like
  77. 2:49this,
  78. 2:50and I wrote on the cover
  79. 2:52the market mechanics blueprint, the
  80. 2:55playbook. Okay, let me see whether the
  81. 2:57camera is actually like zooming in so
  82. 2:59you guys can see like what I'm just
  83. 3:01showing you guys on the screen. So, this
  84. 3:03was what I created, all right? Like,
  85. 3:05this is literally the notebook where I
  86. 3:08actually wrote down all the market
  87. 3:09mechanics concepts.
  88. 3:12This became my safe place, right?
  89. 3:13Inside, I wrote down everything I was
  90. 3:17learning. Okay, so I would look down the
  91. 3:19freaking smart money concepts, the ICT
  92. 3:21concepts, the liquidity concepts, the
  93. 3:24price action concepts. You know, I I
  94. 3:26wrote down everything.
  95. 3:28But, I didn't really write down like
  96. 3:30everything that I learned. I only wrote
  97. 3:32down the things that I've learned that
  98. 3:35actually proven to be working, right?
  99. 3:37Like, proven based on my own
  100. 3:39experiences, based on the trades that
  101. 3:41I've been taking, based on data, right?
  102. 3:43So, I pretty much write down
  103. 3:47that every single concept from every
  104. 3:49single a that was working for me.
  105. 3:52So, if it's about order blocks and I
  106. 3:55realized that order blocks work, then I
  107. 3:56put it in here.
  108. 3:57Right? If it's about, you know, um
  109. 4:00let's say
  110. 4:02flip zones or even like liquidity
  111. 4:04concepts, if I test it out and it
  112. 4:07worked, it went in here. Right? So, this
  113. 4:09notebook became my trading Bible.
  114. 4:13All right? Like this was literally like
  115. 4:15my reference. I would actually go
  116. 4:16through this every single day. And not
  117. 4:18only was I writing down the theory and I
  118. 4:21learning the concepts, I was also
  119. 4:23applying them and practicing them
  120. 4:25religiously every single day. Just
  121. 4:28holding my sword. Just, you know,
  122. 4:30getting better at trading.
  123. 4:33So, once again,
  124. 4:35this
  125. 4:36is all tried and tested. Okay? So, trade
  126. 4:40after trade, journal after journal, I
  127. 4:43treated the market like a laboratory,
  128. 4:46right? I wanted to see what actually
  129. 4:47worked. Not just in one trade, but
  130. 4:50across a large sample size, across 100
  131. 4:52trades, across 500 trades.
  132. 4:55And slowly when I do that, the more
  133. 4:57testing I do, the more data I collect,
  134. 5:00the more I realize that right, like
  135. 5:04all of all of these different
  136. 5:05strategies, price action, smart money,
  137. 5:07ICT concepts, there is about like 30% of
  138. 5:11these
  139. 5:12you know, concepts or lessons that are
  140. 5:14worth absorbing. And then the other 70%
  141. 5:16is just fluff. It's just that
  142. 5:18doesn't work. Okay? Like for example, in
  143. 5:20ICT, displacement and order blocks work
  144. 5:25really, really well. In smart money
  145. 5:26concepts, liquidity, imbalance work
  146. 5:30really, really well. And then for price
  147. 5:31action, break of structure, market
  148. 5:33structure, um looking at the momentum
  149. 5:36and the pressure of the candlestick work
  150. 5:38really, really well.
  151. 5:39Right? So, piece by piece, I stripped
  152. 5:41away the noise, all the fluff that just
  153. 5:43doesn't work within all of these
  154. 5:44different strategies, and I pulled out
  155. 5:46the parts that consistently delivered.
  156. 5:49That actually worked based on data.
  157. 5:52And this is where
  158. 5:53I built a blueprint just like this,
  159. 5:55which is a distilled playbook of what
  160. 5:57really moved the market.
  161. 5:59And I decided to call it Market
  162. 6:01Mechanics.
  163. 6:03So, that's like the origin story behind
  164. 6:05Market Mechanics. And at the point of
  165. 6:07time when I was creating this document,
  166. 6:09I didn't realize how big this would
  167. 6:11become.
  168. 6:12Right? To me, it was just, you know,
  169. 6:14something that I created out of
  170. 6:15desperation. It was just something that
  171. 6:17I created to survive in the market.
  172. 6:21Right? It was just like my way of trying
  173. 6:23to make sense of all of this chaos and
  174. 6:25complexity of the market.
  175. 6:27But over the years, that playbook became
  176. 6:29my edge.
  177. 6:31I used it to build my trading plan. It
  178. 6:33helped me go from blowing accounts and
  179. 6:35questioning my worth to becoming
  180. 6:38consistently profitable, to now even to
  181. 6:41the point where I'm making six figures a
  182. 6:42month consistently from the market.
  183. 6:45As you guys have seen on my second
  184. 6:47channel, Brett Trades.
  185. 6:51And the best part is that when I started
  186. 6:54sharing it with my students and you guys
  187. 6:57in around 2024,
  188. 6:59it became the framework that has now
  189. 7:00impacted millions of people all around
  190. 7:03the world.
  191. 7:05And that's the beautiful part. Because
  192. 7:07Market Mechanics wasn't born from some
  193. 7:09random textbook or some academic
  194. 7:12background, it was born from pain. It
  195. 7:15was born from me losing money, blowing
  196. 7:18accounts, failing funding challenges,
  197. 7:20trying to figure everything out by
  198. 7:22myself.
  199. 7:23It was born from trial and error. It was
  200. 7:26born from the relentless pursuit of
  201. 7:28answers in a world that only seemed to
  202. 7:29give me more confusion.
  203. 7:33And I think that's why it resonates with
  204. 7:35like so many traders. When you guys see
  205. 7:37me simplify all of these complicated
  206. 7:40concepts,
  207. 7:41you kind of get it. You understand it
  208. 7:43because it literally came from the
  209. 7:45trenches. I've been in your exact
  210. 7:47position, lost probably more money than
  211. 7:50you did, figure everything out, right,
  212. 7:52by bleeding in the battlefield on a
  213. 7:54daily basis.
  214. 7:55And that's what allowed me to really get
  215. 7:57a deep understanding of these concepts
  216. 7:59in order for me to simplify it at a
  217. 8:01fifth grade level.
  218. 8:03Yeah, so it didn't come from a textbook.
  219. 8:05It literally came when I was in the
  220. 8:07trenches, right, fighting the war.
  221. 8:10And I think the moral of the lesson um
  222. 8:12the the moral of this story is that you
  223. 8:15don't win in trading by copying someone
  224. 8:17else's strategy.
  225. 8:19You win by developing your own edge.
  226. 8:23Yes.
  227. 8:24Take market mechanics, right? Take price
  228. 8:26action concepts, take smart money
  229. 8:27concepts, whatever, right? Try
  230. 8:29everything out. And then take what works
  231. 8:32and discard what doesn't. And then build
  232. 8:34a playbook that is truly yours, just
  233. 8:37like this.
  234. 8:39Okay? That's what the next 30 days about
  235. 8:42is about. I'm going to give you all the
  236. 8:44profitable concepts and lessons that you
  237. 8:47need to become profitable.
  238. 8:49But maybe you might not resonate with
  239. 8:51some of them. You might resonate with
  240. 8:5350% of them. You might resonate with 80%
  241. 8:55of them. If that's the case, whatever it
  242. 8:57is, right, take what you like, take what
  243. 8:59works for you, test it out, right, over
  244. 9:02a large sample size, 100 trades, 500
  245. 9:05trades, and then based on data, decide
  246. 9:08what to keep in your trading plan and
  247. 9:09what to discard.
  248. 9:11Right? That's what profitable trading is
  249. 9:13about. That's what professional trading
  250. 9:14is about. It's about this continuous
  251. 9:19phase of like just keep on learning,
  252. 9:21getting better, refining, improving, and
  253. 9:24then going back to the trenches and
  254. 9:26learning, improving, reflecting, and
  255. 9:29learning, improving, and reflecting. You
  256. 9:30get the point. Market mechanics is
  257. 9:33basically a combination of the most
  258. 9:36profitable parts of all the strategies
  259. 9:39I've learned in the past 7 years.
  260. 9:41Price action SMC ICT concepts whatever,
  261. 9:44I take the stuff that actually work from
  262. 9:45these concepts and I
  263. 9:47combine all of them together which forms
  264. 9:49market mechanics.
  265. 9:51Quite simply put, market mechanics is
  266. 9:52the way I understand
  267. 9:55and trade the market based on how price
  268. 9:57truly move.
  269. 9:59Once again, it's not about random
  270. 10:01indicators. It's not about asking you to
  271. 10:03buy and sell at this
  272. 10:05thing when lines cross over. It's not
  273. 10:07about asking you to memorize some
  274. 10:08Bermuda triangle pattern. No.
  275. 10:11It is built on understanding structural
  276. 10:14liquidity, imbalance, timing,
  277. 10:18institutional zones, execution, trading
  278. 10:21psychology.
  279. 10:24It's about learning the hidden logic
  280. 10:25behind the price action so you can stop
  281. 10:28trading emotionally and start trading
  282. 10:30with clarity.
  283. 10:33Okay, like literally just yesterday
  284. 10:35I took a trade on GJ and I managed to
  285. 10:38won the trade using the exact concept
  286. 10:41which I'm about to teach you over the
  287. 10:43next 30 days, right? The exact same
  288. 10:45market mechanics framework.
  289. 10:48So yeah,
  290. 10:49and once again, maybe this is another
  291. 10:51common like question or objection that
  292. 10:53you might have. Brett, I've tried every
  293. 10:55single trading strategy under the sun,
  294. 10:57right?
  295. 10:58Like what makes your strategy different
  296. 11:00from the other strategies?
  297. 11:02Well, most strategies out there they
  298. 11:04teach you what to do,
  299. 11:06but they don't teach you why price is
  300. 11:08moving.
  301. 11:09And as a result, what happens is that
  302. 11:11you learn the setups in isolation.
  303. 11:13You learn how to enter the trade without
  304. 11:16context.
  305. 11:17You learn about indicators without
  306. 11:19understanding why price move in the
  307. 11:21first place. And I can tell you
  308. 11:23it sure as hell isn't because of the
  309. 11:25fact that the two lines cross over,
  310. 11:27okay?
  311. 11:28Market mechanics is different because it
  312. 11:30teaches you how to actually read the
  313. 11:32market first.
  314. 11:33It give you a mechanical framework, not
  315. 11:36just the signal on when to enter, when
  316. 11:38to sell. And once again, just to show
  317. 11:40you proof that this strategy works.
  318. 11:44I myself have been documenting every
  319. 11:47single trade that I've been taking since
  320. 11:50I started this entire trading journey.
  321. 11:52If you go to my main YouTube channel,
  322. 11:53The Trading Geek, and you sort my videos
  323. 11:55out by the oldest, you will literally
  324. 11:57see videos of me making
  325. 11:59$100 and $10 trading price action. You
  326. 12:02will see videos of me talking about how
  327. 12:04I just left my 9-to-5 job to focus on
  328. 12:06trading. You will see videos of me back
  329. 12:08in 2022, back in the COVID-19 era, where
  330. 12:13I was making $4,000, and I finally made
  331. 12:15my $10,000 a month, right? I pretty much
  332. 12:17documented my entire trading journey
  333. 12:20from the time that I was,
  334. 12:22you know, broke, not really profitable,
  335. 12:24to now making millions of dollars from
  336. 12:27day trading. Right? Like since the start
  337. 12:29of last year, 2025,
  338. 12:32I've literally dedicated my life to just
  339. 12:36documenting literally every single live
  340. 12:39trade I take on my multi-seven-figure
  341. 12:41account. Right? So, if you sort my
  342. 12:42videos out by the oldest on Break
  343. 12:44Trades, you will see, you know,
  344. 12:46me making this amount, me making this
  345. 12:47amount, me losing money, right? Me
  346. 12:49making money, and so on and so forth.
  347. 12:51Literally just been transparently
  348. 12:53recording and documenting and posting
  349. 12:56every single trade I've taken since the
  350. 12:58start of this year itself.
  351. 13:00last year. Right? So, you can literally
  352. 13:01see all my wins, all my losses. You can
  353. 13:04still literally see how I enter and exit
  354. 13:06the trade all on my second channel. And
  355. 13:08most importantly, you are able to see me
  356. 13:10apply market mechanics in real time in
  357. 13:13live market conditions.
  358. 13:15Right? So,
  359. 13:16my point here is that I'm not asking you
  360. 13:18to trust this because it sounds good.
  361. 13:19I'm not asking you to trust me because I
  362. 13:21got 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube.
  363. 13:23I'm not asking you to trust me because
  364. 13:25I'm very good looking, all right? No.
  365. 13:28I'm asking you to look at the cold, hard
  366. 13:30proof. I'm asking you to look at the
  367. 13:31numbers because numbers don't lie.
  368. 13:34And that proof includes my own results,
  369. 13:36my documented trades,
  370. 13:38and most importantly, the results of my
  371. 13:42students who have applied the same
  372. 13:44principles.
  373. 13:46Okay, so before I show you the results,
  374. 13:47I just want to tell you that these are
  375. 13:49the people who are in your exact
  376. 13:51position. Some might even be in your in
  377. 13:54a worse position than you are, all
  378. 13:55right? So these are the people that were
  379. 13:57in your exact position, they join us,
  380. 13:59they get mentored, and then they start
  381. 14:01seeing consistency. They start getting
  382. 14:03clarity and confidence when analyzing
  383. 14:05the charts, and they start just, you
  384. 14:07know, becoming really competent and as a
  385. 14:09result go on to become really
  386. 14:10profitable.
  387. 14:12Okay, so just like how Syed over here
  388. 14:14turned $10,000 to $291,000
  389. 14:17trading in 12 months, how somebody made
  390. 14:19$123,000

  487. 17:48it work for you? If it can work for me,
  488. 17:51coming from a guy like literally came

  490. 17:56All right, so I don't give a about
  491. 17:57whether you buy my program or not. I
  492. 18:00don't need your money. I just want you
  493. 18:02to become a better trader.
  494. 18:04But just know that unlike other trading
  495. 18:06gurus out there, I actually have your
  496. 18:09best interest in mind.
  497. 18:11I actually care about you and I
  498. 18:12genuinely want to see you succeed.
  499. 18:15That's the reason why I'm doing this.
  500. 18:17That's the reason why I'm spending the

  502. 18:22everything that I know about market
  503. 18:24mechanics so you have all the tools that
  504. 18:25you need to become a profitable trader.
  505. 18:29All right, so yeah, it's it's not like
  506. 18:30at the end of these 30 days I'm going to
  507. 18:32try to force you to buy my course, join
  508. 18:34my mentorship program, join my couch, or
  509. 18:37like buy my software. I don't care what
  510. 18:39anyone does, right? I created those
  511. 18:41businesses, right? The 1% Club, which is
  512. 18:43my mentorship program, and EdgeFlow,
  513. 18:45which is my trading super app, because I
  514. 18:47want to help traders.

  516. 18:51tools, all the education you need to

  525. 19:05between me and other gurus out there.
  526. 19:08It's really I just love you guys. I do
  527. 19:10about you guys. I want to see you
  528. 19:12succeed because I know what it's like to
  529. 19:14be broke, inconsistent, living in fear,
  530. 19:17living in scarcity every single day, not
  531. 19:19knowing when I can pay my bills, you
  532. 19:20know, thinking like whether trading is
  533. 19:22actually for me. I know what it feels
  534. 19:24like. Right, that's the reason why I'm
  535. 19:26doing all of this.
  536. 19:28So, over the next 30 days, what I'm
  537. 19:30going to do is that I'm going to break
  538. 19:33down everything about market mechanics
  539. 19:35from how the market actually move, how
  540. 19:37to trade Forex, Japanese candlestick,
  541. 19:40market structure, institutional zones,
  542. 19:42premium and discount, liquidity
  543. 19:44concepts, what's the best time to trade,
  544. 19:46multi-time frame analysis, how to manage
  545. 19:49your risk like a professional,
  546. 19:51how to actually manage your emotions,
  547. 19:53how to actually think and trade like a
  548. 19:55profitable trader. I'm going to give you
  549. 19:58everything you need.
  550. 20:00And by the end of those 30 days, you
  551. 20:01will be a completely
  552. 20:04different person than you started the
  553. 20:06series in the first place. That's my big
  554. 20:08promise to you.
  555. 20:10And I want to end off this video by, you
  556. 20:12know, just telling you guys
  557. 20:14that
  558. 20:15right now, the reason why you are
  559. 20:17unprofitable is because
  560. 20:20you have been doing the same things over
  561. 20:21and over again and expecting different
  562. 20:23results.
  563. 20:25Your P&L is simply a reflection of your
  564. 20:27character.
  565. 20:28Your P&L is simply a reflection of you
  566. 20:31because the market is a mirror. So, if
  567. 20:34you don't like what you see in the
  568. 20:35mirror, guess what? You should be
  569. 20:38focused on changing the person in the
  570. 20:39mirror.
  571. 20:41So, if you want to change your trading
  572. 20:43results, you first need to change
  573. 20:46yourself. You need to change the way you
  574. 20:48think, act, and feel on a daily basis as
  575. 20:51a trader.
  576. 20:53You need to think the thoughts that a
  577. 20:55professional trader would think.
  578. 20:57Would a professional trader think that
  579. 20:59he's at trading?
  580. 21:01Or would he have absolute confidence in
  581. 21:03his trading ability and his trading
  582. 21:05plan?
  583. 21:06You need to act like a professional
  584. 21:08trader.
  585. 21:09Will a professional trader revenge trade
  586. 21:11after a losing streak? Will he force
  587. 21:13trades when there's no opportunities?
  588. 21:15No.
  589. 21:16He'll be following his trading plan.
  590. 21:18He'll be journaling after a losing
  591. 21:19streak.
  592. 21:21And most importantly, you need to feel
  593. 21:23like a professional trader before you
  594. 21:24become one.
  595. 21:26What does a professional trader feel on
  596. 21:27a daily basis?
  597. 21:29He's confident. He's calm. He's
  598. 21:31disciplined. He's focused.
  599. 21:33He has an abundance mentality.
  600. 21:36Oh, this trade went without me. It's
  601. 21:39fine. The next trade idea will appear in
  602. 21:41the market over the next 5 minutes or
  603. 21:43over the next 15 minutes because there
  604. 21:45is an abundant of opportunities in the
  605. 21:48market.
  606. 21:49So, I'm not going to be chasing the
  607. 21:50market. The market is going to be coming
  608. 21:53at to a price point which I want to
  609. 21:54enter and then I enter for the market.
  610. 21:57And when you start to change the way you
  611. 21:59think, act, and feel as a trader,
  612. 22:02what starts to happen is that your
  613. 22:03reality starts changing. You start
  614. 22:06getting the results of a professional
  615. 22:07trader as well. So, in some way, shape,
  616. 22:09or form, you are literally manifesting
  617. 22:11your dream reality
  618. 22:13by changing your emotional state, by
  619. 22:16changing your behavior, by changing your
  620. 22:19thoughts.
  621. 22:21Right? So, remember this. Your P&L is
  622. 22:24simply a reflection of your habits, your
  623. 22:26discipline, your emotional control, and
  624. 22:29your identity.
  625. 22:32So, if you want to change your P&L,
  626. 22:33start by changing yourself.
  627. 22:38So, here's the house rules for this
  628. 22:40entire series, right? For this entire
  629. 22:4230-day series. I want you guys to watch
  630. 22:44every single lesson from start to
  631. 22:46finish. Don't skip around, you know,
  632. 22:48don't tell yourself like, "Oh, I
  633. 22:50didn't know market structure, so I'm not
  634. 22:53going to watch this lesson." No.
  635. 22:56Be humble.
  636. 22:57Adopt some humility. Be a lifelong
  637. 22:59student of the market. Wipe away
  638. 23:02everything that you have learned from
  639. 23:03the market so far, forget everything
  640. 23:05that you have learned about the market
  641. 23:06so far and start this series with a
  642. 23:08fresh mind.
  643. 23:10Because after all, if you are already so
  644. 23:13good, you would already be profitable
  645. 23:15and you wouldn't be watching this
  646. 23:17Okay? If you're watching this is because
  647. 23:20either you're not profitable or you want
  648. 23:22to take your trading to the next level.
  649. 23:24And in order for you to become
  650. 23:25profitable or take your trading to the
  651. 23:27next level and become more profitable,
  652. 23:30you cannot be doing the same things and
  653. 23:32expecting different results. You need to
  654. 23:34change. Change the way you see the
  655. 23:36market. Change yourself.
  656. 23:38Right? So, I want you to watch every
  657. 23:40single lesson from start to finish.
  658. 23:43And most importantly, watch in
  659. 23:46chronological order. Right? So, watch
  660. 23:48from episode 1 to episode 2 to episode
  661. 23:503, not episode 5 then 10 to 12 or
  662. 23:53whenever like you you whatever topic
  663. 23:55that you feel like watching. No. Watch
  664. 23:57from 0 all the way to 31.
  665. 24:00Right? Just watch in this exact order. 0
  666. 24:031 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Right? Just watch
  667. 24:07in this particular order itself.
  668. 24:10And I want you guys, when you guys are
  669. 24:12watching these lessons, focus. Right?
  670. 24:15Focus. No distractions. No scrolling
  671. 24:18TikTok on your with your hand on
  672. 24:21uh on your phone. No watching Netflix
  673. 24:23while watching my No. Focus. No
  674. 24:26distractions
  675. 24:28and just take down notes. All right? So,
  676. 24:31have a notebook by your side or open up
  677. 24:32a Google document. Take down notes.
  678. 24:34Synthesize what I'm saying. Right? Just
  679. 24:37get really really deep understanding of
  680. 24:40all of these concepts that I'm about to
  681. 24:42share.
  682. 24:43And last but not least, practice and
  683. 24:45apply what you learn.
  684. 24:47Knowledge is useless without
  685. 24:48implementation.
  686. 24:50Knowledge alone has never made anybody
  687. 24:52rich and profitable and wealthy. All
  688. 24:54right? It's always the application of
  689. 24:56the knowledge itself.
  690. 24:58So,
  691. 25:00synthesize all of this information,
  692. 25:02really get a deep understanding of this,
  693. 25:05and then go and practice. And then go
  694. 25:06and apply what you've learned onto the
  695. 25:08charts. And as time passes, what happens
  696. 25:10is that you get better and better at
  697. 25:12analyzing the charts. And 1 year from
  698. 25:14now, or even 30 days from now,
  699. 25:16you'll realize that, "Damn, I can
  700. 25:18actually analyze the charts with
  701. 25:19confidence now, because I know exactly
  702. 25:21what price is doing." And this way, I
  703. 25:24can actually develop my right trade
  704. 25:26bias, which means that I can trade with
  705. 25:28the smart money rather than against
  706. 25:30them.
  707. 25:31So, I I can't emphasize like how
  708. 25:33important these house rules are.
  709. 25:36Because the next 30 days could perhaps
  710. 25:38be like
  711. 25:40the best 30 days you will ever
  712. 25:41experience as a trader. And I'm
  713. 25:43literally giving all of this for
  714. 25:45free, right? All the secret sauce for
  715. 25:47absolutely free, because I genuinely
  716. 25:49want to see you win.
  717. 25:51Right? I'm not doing this so that you
  718. 25:52can buy my course. Like I said, I'm
  719. 25:54doing this so that I can help you win.
  720. 25:57I'm rooting for you, man. So, please do
  721. 26:00me a favor and take all of this
  722. 26:03knowledge and apply it so that you can
  723. 26:05actually get the results that you
  724. 26:06desire. Because if you don't, then I'm
  725. 26:09doing all of this for nothing. I'm
  726. 26:11slaving the next 30 days for nothing.
  727. 26:13Right? So, please, right now, look at
  728. 26:16me, man to man or woman to man, look at
  729. 26:19me in my eyes and promise me
  730. 26:22that you will do the work. Promise me
  731. 26:24that you will watch the lessons from
  732. 26:25start to the end. Promise me you will
  733. 26:27apply everything that I'm about to teach
  734. 26:29you over the next 30 days.
  735. 26:31Promise me that you will commit to
  736. 26:34becoming better, to becoming more
  737. 26:36disciplined, to becoming a profitable
  738. 26:38trader, to thinking, acting, and feeling
  739. 26:40like a professional trader.
  740. 26:43All right. Now that you've promised me,
  741. 26:44I will hold you onto it, right? I will
  742. 26:46hold you accountable.
  743. 26:48So, if you break that promise, you're
  744. 26:49essentially lying to Brad, all And you
  745. 26:51don't want to lie to brand. Nothing good
  746. 26:53has ever happened from lying to brand.
  747. 26:55So,
  748. 26:56yeah.
  749. 26:57And I will end off with this beautiful
  750. 26:59quote which
  751. 27:01I actually written and posted on my X
  752. 27:02account.
  753. 27:04The world belongs to the optimist who
  754. 27:06can do boring, repetitive work for an
  755. 27:09extended period of time without needing
  756. 27:12any external validation or immediate
  757. 27:14results.
  758. 27:16Anyone can grind when they are motivated
  759. 27:18or praised.
  760. 27:20But very few can grind when nobody's
  761. 27:22watching.
  762. 27:24You are rewarded in public for the work
  763. 27:26done in private.
  764. 27:28It's not about what you do when
  765. 27:30everybody is clapping, it's about what
  766. 27:31you do when nobody's watching.
  767. 27:34It's about what you do in the early
  768. 27:35mornings, the late nights, right? When
  769. 27:38you're grinding alone in your room.
  770. 27:41That's what
  771. 27:43creates success.
  772. 27:44That's what creates change.
  773. 27:48So,
  774. 27:50the optimistic set big ass goals, hairy,
  775. 27:53audacious goals,
  776. 27:55and then show up every single day to
  777. 27:57ensure that you're inching one step
  778. 27:59closer towards those grand the delusions
  779. 28:02of grandeur that you have set for
  780. 28:04yourself.
  781. 28:05Because I believe in you. Even if nobody
  782. 28:07does, right? Even if the naysayers and
  783. 28:09the doubters out there are saying
  784. 28:11like trading is not for you. Oh,
  785. 28:13trading's a scam. No way you can succeed
  786. 28:15at trading. Only the people on Wall
  787. 28:17Street can succeed at trading. Oh, bad
  788. 28:20strategies doesn't work. You know,
  789. 28:21market mechanics doesn't work. F what
  790. 28:24they say.
  791. 28:25Right? Who cares about what other people
  792. 28:26say? It's your life. Okay? It's your
  793. 28:29life, which means I need you to take
  794. 28:30extreme ownership over every aspect of
  795. 28:33your life, including your trading.
  796. 28:37Because in life you can either
  797. 28:40be a victim or a victor.
  798. 28:45You can either
  799. 28:47succumb to the rules of the game, or you
  800. 28:49can, you know, play the game.
  801. 28:52Right?
  802. 28:53And my best advice would be to play the
  803. 28:54game with whatever hand that life dealt
  804. 28:57you with.
  805. 28:58There's no going back to changing the
  806. 29:00past. There's no way to change your
  807. 29:02circumstances which got you to where you
  808. 29:04are right now. But there is a way for
  809. 29:06you to change your future. There is a
  810. 29:08way for you to change your life
  811. 29:12by learning this right here. Right?
  812. 29:14And by applying them, by getting really,
  813. 29:16really good at trading. So good at
  814. 29:18trading that
  815. 29:19eventually you will never ever have to
  816. 29:20worry about money ever again.
  817. 29:22And that's the stage that I'm at right
  818. 29:24now.
  819. 29:25You know, living a life of abundance
  820. 29:27where I can bring my family to wherever
  821. 29:30they want, right? I literally just
  822. 29:32bought my mom a dream car like last
  823. 29:34week. And then I also literally just
  824. 29:36bought my father his dream vacation in
  825. 29:38Korea last week, all in the same week,
  826. 29:40which is crazy. And I'm just so grateful
  827. 29:43that I was like, "You know what, man?
  828. 29:45All of this stuff is great,
  829. 29:47but I want you guys to experience those
  830. 29:49stuff as well. I want you guys to
  831. 29:50experience, you know, like the
  832. 29:51blessings. I want you guys to experience
  833. 29:54this life of abundance where you too can
  834. 29:56take care of your family, you too can
  835. 29:58live your dream life, you too can travel
  836. 29:59the world, or do whatever that you
  837. 30:01want."
  838. 30:03Yeah.
  839. 30:04So, that's why I'm doing this, right?
  840. 30:06That's why I'm doing this, so that I can
  841. 30:08have you guys get there as well.
  842. 30:10And
  843. 30:11I triple guarantee you that if you take
  844. 30:13this serious if you take this serious
  845. 30:15seriously,
  846. 30:17you study properly, you actually apply
  847. 30:20what I teach, the next 30 days could
  848. 30:23completely change the way you see the
  849. 30:25market.
  850. 30:27So,
  851. 30:28commit to the process, commit to the
  852. 30:31lessons.
  853. 30:32And with that being said, let's begin
  854. 30:34with the Market Mechanics Mentorship
  855. 30:36series.
  856. 30:37And I look forward to seeing you in the
  857. 30:39first episode. And as always, remember
  858. 30:42you are just one trade away.
