Market Mechanics Ep 29: How to Use AI for Trading — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00So, everybody's talking about AI these
- 0:02days, and you might be wondering, how
- 0:05can you use AI in trading?
- 0:08And here's where a lot of traders get it
- 0:10wrong.
- 0:11A lot of traders are asking, can AI give
- 0:14me signals? Can AI tell me when to buy,
- 0:17when to sell? Can AI make trading
- 0:19easier? No, buddy. That's not the real
- 0:22opportunity. I believe that the real
- 0:24opportunity is using AI to think better.
- 0:28Think about it. What's the biggest enemy
- 0:30in trading? It's yourself. It's your
- 0:33emotions. It's your limited perception
- 0:35of the market.
- 0:37And what AI provide you with is a
- 0:39third-party, rational, and logical idea.
- 0:44Right? So, it's like it doesn't have the
- 0:46same emotions as you do. So, you can use
- 0:48that to your advantage. You can use AI
- 0:51to actually give you better feedback. To
- 0:54actually make you a better trader.
- 0:57That's what AI is for. It's not for you
- 0:59it to like, you know, you don't rely on
- 1:01it to tell you when to buy, when to
- 1:03sell, and just give you trade ideas. No,
- 1:06you use it as a tool to make you better.
- 1:10All right? So, here's what AI is
- 1:12actually good for.
- 1:15Now, AI is very useful for organizing
- 1:18your thinking, challenging emotional
- 1:20decisions, and turning mistakes into
- 1:22lessons, asking better questions, and
- 1:24speeding up feedback loops.
- 1:26So, once again, I want to emphasize
- 1:28this. AI is not the most powerful when
- 1:31it tries to predict the market for you.
- 1:33Trust me, I've tried it. A lot of other
- 1:35people tried it as well, but it's just
- 1:38not that good yet, right? I I I don't
- 1:40think they have gotten to that stage
- 1:41where it can actually predict the market
- 1:43as well as I do. All right? I don't
- 1:45think they understand market mechanics
- 1:46as well as I do.
- 1:48So, as a result, what you want to do is
- 1:51to use it to help you get better.
- 1:55Fit your data into AI, right? Whatever
- 1:59trades that you are taking, tell AI
- 2:01about it.
- 2:02And I tell them, "Okay, this is the
- 2:04mistake that I've made today. What can I
- 2:05do to get better?"
- 2:07Tell them, "This is the emotion I'm
- 2:08facing today. This is the problem that
- 2:10I'm facing right now in my trading
- 2:12journey. What can I do to get rid of
- 2:14these roadblocks?"
- 2:16And usually it will give you like a very
- 2:17good answer, right? So, it's like you
- 2:19got all the tools you need to actually
- 2:20become a better become a more profitable
- 2:22trader. You just need to ask it the
- 2:25right questions. You just need to give
- 2:27it a lot of context.
- 2:29Once again, this is coming from a guy
- 2:31who have literally built a AI trading
- 2:33super app, EdgeFlow.
- 2:34Right? So, later on I'm going to show
- 2:36you Flow AI, which is the AI that I
- 2:39personally built with my team, and it's
- 2:41trained on all my market mechanics
- 2:43concepts, on everything that I've
- 2:45learned in trading. Uh it's pretty much
- 2:47got my entire brain, right? That's it,
- 2:49right? Flow AI is pretty much me. If you
- 2:51actually got access to Flow AI, it's
- 2:53pretty much like having me by your side
- 2:55coaching you.
- 2:56Okay? But I'm going to show you that
- 2:57later on.
- 2:58But once again, I don't want you guys to
- 3:00be using AI the wrong way. I don't want
- 3:02you guys to be using it as a crutch. I
- 3:04want you to use it properly because if
- 3:05you do use it properly, it can become
- 3:07one of the most powerful tools in your
- 3:08trading process. It can give you a huge
- 3:11advantage over your peers, over other
- 3:13traders out there.
- 3:14Because
- 3:16like I said, it doesn't replace your
- 3:18edge, it doesn't replace your
- 3:18decision-making. It helps you think more
- 3:21clearly. It helps you review your trades
- 3:23faster. It helps you regulate your
- 3:25emotions better, and overall just stay
- 3:28aligned with your trading system.
- 3:31Now, here's what AI should not replace,
- 3:34all right? Very important. I know some
- 3:36of you guys have already tried to do
- 3:38this, all right? So, I'm warning you
- 3:39right here.
- 3:40AI should not replace your trade plan.
- 3:43It should not replace your journaling.
- 3:45It should not replace your review
- 3:46process. It should not review replace
- 3:49your risk management. It should not
- 3:50replace your personal responsibility.
- 3:53Because if you start using AI as a
- 3:55shortcut for certainty, you are using it
- 3:57wrong.
- 3:58Right? So, what I basically mean by that
- 4:01is that
- 4:02all of this stuff that you have to do,
- 4:04that makes you a better trader, you
- 4:05still have to do them manually.
- 4:07Even though maybe AI can do it for you.
- 4:09For example, in Edge Flow, we have this
- 4:11feature which allows you to get weekly
- 4:14AI generated reports. Right? So, at the
- 4:16end of each week, the AI literally go
- 4:18and review all the trades they have been
- 4:20taking for the week and give you like a
- 4:21report telling you what to do and what
- 4:23not to do, and what's what went well,
- 4:26what didn't went so well, and what's the
- 4:27one action or one step you can take the
- 4:29following week to get better.
- 4:31Yes, we have that cool feature inside
- 4:33Edge Flow.
- 4:34Right? But, we still advise our traders
- 4:36to review the AI report and then reflect
- 4:40themselves.
- 4:41Right? So, we still actually encourage
- 4:42them to do that manual reflection.
- 4:44Because when you actually do your manual
- 4:46reflection, then now you are able to
- 4:48actually get better because now you
- 4:50actually know what you're doing well,
- 4:52what you're not doing so well, and you
- 4:54can do more of what works and less of
- 4:55what doesn't. Right? So, you're just
- 4:57able to build that awareness by
- 4:59continuing doing your journaling and
- 5:01reviewing yourself.
- 5:02Right? So,
- 5:04yeah, trading is still a probability
- 5:05game. It does not remove uncertainty.
- 5:08What it can help you do is to navigate
- 5:10that uncertainty with better structure.
- 5:14I believe that the real edge of AI is
- 5:16speed.
- 5:17It helps you close the gap faster
- 5:19between confusion and clarity,
- 5:22emotion and logic, mistake and lesson,
- 5:25impulse and discipline.
- 5:28A trader who gets faster feedback and
- 5:30clearer reflection will usually improve
- 5:32faster than a trader who keep repeating
- 5:35the same emotional loops again and again
- 5:37alone.
- 5:39That is why AI matters. It's not here to
- 5:42magically make you profitable overnight.
- 5:44It's here to to you become more aware.
- 5:47It's here to help you become more
- 5:48reflective and more process-driven.
- 5:52So, that's really the edge when it comes
- 5:54to AI.
- 5:57Now,
- 5:58there are
- 5:59a few best times to use AI in trading.
- 6:03Before the trading session, you can use
- 6:05AI to help you get clear on your trading
- 6:07plan.
- 6:08You can even use it to remind you that
- 6:11you have to review your trade plan.
- 6:13During the trading session, this is
- 6:15where emotions start rising, right? This
- 6:17is where you start feeling that you are
- 6:19out of balance and you are
- 6:21getting out of control, and you need to
- 6:23return back to structure, you can use AI
- 6:25here as well, right? You can speak to an
- 6:27AI, you can even chat with an AI telling
- 6:29it that you're feeling emotional. Once
- 6:32again, I'm going to show you how to do
- 6:33all of this later on.
- 6:34And then,
- 6:35after the session, this is where you can
- 6:37turn your trading day into actual
- 6:39learning instead of just moving on and
- 6:42just forgetting about it. By journaling
- 6:44your trade and then feeding your trades
- 6:46into the AI, asking it what you can do
- 6:49better, what went well, what went not so
- 6:52well, what can you do better next time,
- 6:54how can you prevent yourself from making
- 6:56the same mistake again,
- 6:58right? So, AI works best if you use it
- 7:00as a thinking partner before execution,
- 7:03a reset tool during execution, and a
- 7:06review assistant after execution.
- 7:09The biggest mistake traders will make is
- 7:11trying to use AI to avoid thinking.
- 7:16I really do not like this, right? That's
- 7:18the only thing that I don't like about
- 7:20AI. AI is just making everybody more
- 7:22lazy. What I basically mean by that is
- 7:24that right now, if you have a question,
- 7:27you no longer ask Google, you ask
- 7:28ChatGPT.
- 7:30And then, it usually give you an answer.
- 7:32But, let's say
- 7:3320 years ago, if you want to find an
- 7:35answer to a certain question that you
- 7:37have about trading, you would have to go
- 7:39to the library, browse through
- 7:42tens or perhaps hundreds of books just
- 7:44so they can find an answer to your
- 7:46trading question.
- 7:48Okay, so it's like right now with AI, a
- 7:51lot of people are just not using their
- 7:52brain anymore.
- 7:54And if you don't use your brain, it's
- 7:56just going to deteriorate.
- 7:58Right? So, whatever that you don't use,
- 8:00it ends up like just getting weaker.
- 8:03Just like muscle, right? If you don't
- 8:04train your muscle every single day,
- 8:07just like what you've been doing for the
- 8:08past few months, right? Going to the gym
- 8:10or the stuff,
- 8:11your muscle is eventually going to
- 8:13deteriorate and you're going to lose
- 8:14your muscle or it's going to turn into
- 8:16fat. Same thing with your brain, right?
- 8:18So, do not use AI to avoid thinking.
- 8:22If you want to become a profitable
- 8:24trader, if you're serious about
- 8:25mastering this skill set, as much as
- 8:27possible, you don't want to depend on AI
- 8:29too much.
- 8:31With that being said, the best traders,
- 8:34they don't use AI to avoid thinking, but
- 8:36they use AI to think better.
- 8:39So, that's a massive difference right
- 8:41there.
- 8:41If you use AI to chase certainty, you'll
- 8:44probably get weaker.
- 8:45If you use AI to sharpen your awareness,
- 8:48tighten your decision-making,
- 8:50and just reinforce your process, you'll
- 8:52probably get better.
- 8:54Okay, so yeah, the way I think about AI
- 8:57in trading is very simple. It should
- 8:58help you return to your process faster.
- 9:01It should help you
- 9:04ensure that you are grounded in the
- 9:06present moment and not affected by your
- 9:08emotions.
- 9:09But if AI is making you more dependent,
- 9:11more confused, more passive, then you
- 9:15are probably just using it wrongly.
- 9:17If it's making you more grounded, more
- 9:20honest, more aware, and more
- 9:22disciplined, then you're using it
- 9:23correctly.
- 9:25Okay, so
- 9:26key takeaway, AI should not become your
- 9:29trader. You shouldn't be relying on AI
- 9:32to trade for you.
- 9:33It should become your assistant. It
- 9:35should be used as a tool that helps you
- 9:37think more clearly, regulate your
- 9:39emotions faster, make better decisions
- 9:43inside the framework of your own system.
- 9:45That is the right way to use AI. In
- 9:47fact, that's the only way you should be
- 9:48using AI.
- 9:51And that brings me to the second part of
- 9:52this lesson.
- 9:53Because once you understand how AI
- 9:56should actually be used in trading, the
- 9:58next question you have might have in
- 9:59mind is
- 10:01what does that look like in practice?
- 10:03How does Brett actually use AI on a
- 10:05daily basis?
- 10:07That's what I'm showing you in the next
- 10:09section right here.
- 10:10And that is exactly why we built Flow
- 10:12AI, right? That's why I spent the past
- 10:14few months just feeding Flow AI
- 10:16everything that I know about trading.
- 10:18Every single market mechanics concepts
- 10:20that you guys are learning throughout
- 10:21this entire 30-day mentorship series,
- 10:24Flow AI knows about it, right? So, if
- 10:25you are unsure on anything, you can ask
- 10:27Flow AI and it will give you a very good
- 10:29answer.
- 10:30It can essentially act as the coach that
- 10:32is by your side 24/7, helping you before
- 10:35you start trading, during your trading,
- 10:37and after your trading, like what I'm
- 10:38going to show you, right? It's
- 10:40essentially going to be a personal
- 10:41trading coach if you actually get access
- 10:42to it inside Edge Flow.
- 10:44So, with that being said, let me show
- 10:45you how Flow AI actually works, how I
- 10:48use it, and how you can use it properly
- 10:50inside Edge Flow. Most traders don't
- 10:53need another strategy. They need a coach
- 10:55in their pocket. And I'll be real with
- 10:58you. The trader who refuse to use AI is
- 11:01going to lose to the trader who does.
- 11:03Because one person is getting faster
- 11:06feedback, clearer thinking, and less
- 11:09emotional decision-making.
- 11:11And that's what Flow AI is for.
- 11:13Now, quick expectation check before we
- 11:15start. Flow AI version one is not some
- 11:17magic AI that can read your trading
- 11:19account, read your trading data, and
- 11:21just automatically know how you have
- 11:23been trading. It only works as well as
- 11:26what you tell it, right? It's kind of
- 11:27like ChatGPT. In the future, Flow AI
- 11:30will be able to give you personalized
- 11:32feedback based on your actual trades and
- 11:34your patterns inside Edge Flow. But for
- 11:36now, this is the first version and it's
- 11:39still insanely useful if you use it the
- 11:41right way.
- 11:42But the reason why it's so powerful is
- 11:44really because of the fact that I've
- 11:45trained it to think like me.
- 11:47You heard that right. It's literally
- 11:50have my consciousness, my brain in it.
- 11:53So when you use it properly, it's like
- 11:55having a millionaire professional trader
- 11:58who's coached thousands of students in
- 12:00your own pocket.
- 12:01Helping you snap back into clarity,
- 12:03helping you regulate your emotions, and
- 12:06helping you make better decisions in
- 12:08real time.
- 12:10Quick note, Flow AI is a plus or pro
- 12:12feature, which means that if you're on
- 12:14the basic plan, you won't be able to see
- 12:16this tab yet.
- 12:18Cool, let's dive into it. So what is
- 12:20Flow AI?
- 12:21So Flow AI is a thinking partner to help
- 12:24you spot your blind spots. And it's a
- 12:27structure to allow you to ask better
- 12:29questions. Like what is the meaning of
- 12:31life? No, just kidding. Don't ask Flow
- 12:33AI that. Uh uh and it also provide you a
- 12:35fast feedback loop when you feel stuck.
- 12:38Now let's talk about what it's not. It's
- 12:40not a signal bot, it's not going to tell
- 12:41you where to buy, where to sell, it's
- 12:43not going to tell you where gold will be
- 12:455 years from now, it's not going to
- 12:47predict the next stock market crash,
- 12:50it's not a trade copier, right?
- 12:52It's not a replacement for your rules,
- 12:54journal, or review process. It's not a
- 12:57trading robot, it's not an expert
- 12:59advisor. You still have to think on your
- 13:01own feet, you still have to trade on
- 13:03your own. What it is is is a companion,
- 13:07is a coach that you have available right
- 13:09in your own pocket.
- 13:11Now, every time you ask Flow AI for
- 13:13help, there's three things you want to
- 13:15give it. Number one is to provide it
- 13:18context. Okay, what session are you
- 13:20trading, what currency pair are you
- 13:21trading, what setup are you using?
- 13:24Number two is your emotional state. How
- 13:27do you feel right now? Whether you are
- 13:29feeling angry,
- 13:31doubting yourself, fear,
- 13:34FOMO, whatever it is, your emotional
- 13:36state. Number three is the problem that
- 13:38you're facing right now. What's the
- 13:40exact decision that you're struggling
- 13:42with? Okay, so when you give Flow AI
- 13:44these three things, it's able to provide
- 13:47you with a much more accurate answer
- 13:49that is tailored to your situation,
- 13:52right? That's not some generic answer,
- 13:53but it's tailored to your situation. So,
- 13:56for example,
- 13:57this is where I maybe say, "I'm trading
- 14:00the London session. I'm trading EUR/USD.
- 14:03I'm trading the pullback setup, right?
- 14:04I'm anxious right now. I'm not sure
- 14:06whether I should actually take the next
- 14:08setup after a loss." So, this is where
- 14:10you send it to Flow AI, and then based
- 14:11on your context, once again, Flow AI
- 14:14will give you a answer that is tailored
- 14:15to your situation, right? Like, just
- 14:17look at how clean this is. It's
- 14:19literally asking you, checking you on
- 14:21your technical bias, checking you on
- 14:23your risk parameters,
- 14:25and then based on this, it's also
- 14:26checking on you on your emotions, right?
- 14:29It's checking through your process,
- 14:30checking through your trading system.
- 14:32All right. Uh and yeah, it pretty much
- 14:34gives you like a very in-depth answer
- 14:36that is really based on like
- 14:38the prompt that you have given it.
- 14:40Okay, technical,
- 14:43emotional,
- 14:44and also like it just solved your
- 14:46problem of you not sure whether you
- 14:48should actually take the next setup or
- 14:49not, right? So, here's what it say, "I
- 14:51hear you that post-loss anxiety is
- 14:53normal. Let's ground in structure, not
- 14:55emotion."
- 14:57Quick reset. What is your bias on the
- 14:59higher time frame? Okay, what is the
- 15:00location in which price is at, right? Is
- 15:02it at the supply and demand zone? Is it
- 15:03at the flip zone? Is it at the order
- 15:05block?
- 15:06Uh and then once you got price
- 15:08mitigation, do you have your
- 15:10confirmation, right? If you have the
- 15:12confirmation, then yes, you can execute
- 15:13a trade. Then are you following your
- 15:15risk parameters, right?
- 15:17Yeah, so you can see it's literally like
- 15:19giving you like a quick little sanity
- 15:20check. And it's also ensuring that you
- 15:22are following your rules, you're
- 15:24following your trade plan, you're
- 15:25following your system.
- 15:27And most importantly, it provide you
- 15:29with some form of actionable step that
- 15:32you can take right now to prevent
- 15:34yourself from letting the anxiety take
- 15:36control over you.
- 15:38Now, you don't have to follow this exact
- 15:40format, but like I said, if you follow
- 15:41this exact format, this is where you are
- 15:42able to provide more context to the AI.
- 15:45And you know how AI works, right? The
- 15:47better you prompt it, the better
- 15:48questions you ask, the better the answer
- 15:50it provide you with.
- 15:52But yeah, if you want, you don't have to
- 15:54follow this more format. It's just more
- 15:56of like a cheat code to make Flow AI
- 15:57understand you faster. If you want to
- 16:00keep it even simpler, you can just talk
- 16:01to it like a human, right? So, for
- 16:03example, when you feel emotional, you
- 16:05talk to it. I'm feeling emotional right
- 16:06now, all right, Flow AI, what should I
- 16:08do? When you're unsure about your trade
- 16:10idea, talk to it.
- 16:12When you feel stuck in your trading
- 16:14journey, talk to it, right? So, I want
- 16:16you to treat Flow AI like your trading
- 16:18companion, like your trading coach, like
- 16:20having me right by your side, like your
- 16:22new best friend that keeps you grounded
- 16:24in the present moment and stops you from
- 16:27doing the stupid things when your
- 16:28emotions spike.
- 16:30Right? So, whatever questions that is
- 16:32trading related, you can ask it and it
- 16:34will give you a very good answer.
- 16:37Now, let's talk about how I personally
- 16:38use it on a daily basis.
- 16:41So, the thing is, like I said, I've
- 16:44trained it to actually think, act, and
- 16:46speak like a professional trader, which
- 16:48means that if you're going to have a
- 16:49professional trader by your side 24/7,
- 16:53you want to make sure that you are
- 16:54really like using it every minute, every
- 16:57hour of the day, right? You are just
- 16:59really picking his brain and just
- 17:01ensuring that you are making the right
- 17:03decisions.
- 17:04And just overall getting guidance from
- 17:07like this professional sentient being
- 17:09right here. Okay, it's not sentient yet,
- 17:12okay? But anyways, this is how I
- 17:14personally use it on a day-to-day basis.
- 17:16As we all know, that is before you
- 17:18trade, when you are trading, and after
- 17:20you trade. This is your pre-market
- 17:21routine, this is your trading session,
- 17:23and then this is your post-market
- 17:24routine. So, before I trade, which is
- 17:26during my pre-market routine, before I
- 17:28execute anything, what I like to do is
- 17:30to use Flow AI to get clear and calm.
- 17:34I will ask it to help me lock in my bias
- 17:36and set my intention, and just remind me
- 17:38of the key rules that I need to follow
- 17:40today, so I'm in execution mode and I'm
- 17:42not in overthinking mode.
- 17:44So, prompt that I like I like to send it
- 17:46is
- 17:47a pre-market check, right? So,
- 17:49pre-market check, today I'm trading
- 17:50EUR/USD during London session. My bias
- 17:53is bullish, my rules are this and this,
- 17:56right? Once again, this is just like
- 17:57based on my trade plan, based on my
- 17:59edge. Give me three reminders to stay
- 18:01disciplined and one no trade warning to
- 18:03watch out for.
- 18:05Right? So, this is what I will send it
- 18:07uh when it before I start trading,
- 18:08right? So, this is the format that you
- 18:09can actually use. Like I said, just give
- 18:12it context, tell it your bias,
- 18:14explain your rules to it, and then also
- 18:16just ask it to give you some reminders
- 18:18or ask it to give you a no trade
- 18:21situation, right? So, you can see, "Love
- 18:23the prep, clean, simple, aligned. So,
- 18:25here's three simple discipline
- 18:26reminders. Structure first, only trade
- 18:29from your point of interest, your risk
- 18:30stays mechanical, stick to 0.5% to 1%
- 18:33risk per trade." And here's a no trade
- 18:35warning to watch out for, right? So, if
- 18:38EUR/USD runs without breaking your point
- 18:40of interest and you feel fear of missing
- 18:42out, do not trade, right? Pass and wait
- 18:44for the clear return to the point of
- 18:46interest and confirmation. Damn, I'm
- 18:48actually very impressed by the answers
- 18:49that it's giving me right now because
- 18:51like this is exactly how I personally
- 18:53will approach the market. And quick
- 18:55check before clicking the buy, right? Is
- 18:57the higher time frame still bullish? Do
- 18:58we take liquidity and get displacement?
- 19:00Do we have the confirmation? And so on
- 19:03and so forth. You can see, even even a
- 19:05psychology tip, right? Trade like the
- 19:06person you want to become. Patient,
- 19:08selective, rule-based. You've got this.
- 19:11So,
- 19:12I believe that every single trade you
- 19:14take is not wasted. Every single trade
- 19:16you take is a vote for the person that
- 19:18you want to become, for the trader that
- 19:20you want to become. So, if you're taking
- 19:21a trade that is in accordance with your
- 19:23trade plan, you're literally voting for
- 19:25yourself to be a disciplined trader, to
- 19:27be a professional trader. And every
- 19:29single trade that you take that is
- 19:30outside of your trade plan, you're
- 19:31voting for yourself to be a
- 19:33undisciplined trader, which means you're
- 19:35going to get inconsistent results. So,
- 19:37that's what I like to do before I start
- 19:39trading, right? Just get it to you know,
- 19:41ground me in the present moment, just
- 19:43remind myself that I need to be sticking
- 19:45to the plan, I need to be sticking to my
- 19:46trading roots.
- 19:48Now, the next thing is the most powerful
- 19:49one. And this one is when you are
- 19:52trading, okay? Like, when you're
- 19:54trading, we all know that the minute
- 19:56price starts pulling back or the minute
- 19:58price starts going against you, you
- 20:00know, the minute price starts going to
- 20:01draw down, this is where I start feeling
- 20:04some form of emotion. Whether you're
- 20:05feeling triggered, whether you're
- 20:06feeling rushed, whether you're feeling
- 20:08FOMO, or you're feeling this urge to
- 20:10make back the money that you have lost,
- 20:12come to Flow AI.
- 20:14Flow AI will ground you, right? We'll
- 20:16ensure that, you know, you pause, right?
- 20:19You release all the emotional residue
- 20:21that is within you, and just step you
- 20:23back into logic before you do something
- 20:25stupid.
- 20:26So, here's what I like to do like when
- 20:28I'm feeling emotion.
- 20:30What I'd like to do is come to Flow AI
- 20:32and just tell the emotion I'm facing.
- 20:33And just like literally try to explain
- 20:36what's going on in my head. Like, what
- 20:38am I feeling right now? What I'm about
- 20:39to do? Uh and just ask Flow AI to talk
- 20:42me out of doing that that something
- 20:43stupid, right? So, this is where I say
- 20:45something like, I feel angry, I feel
- 20:47tilted, I just took a loss, I'm about to
- 20:49take the next setup immediately to make
- 20:50it back. Once again, you want to
- 20:52rationalize it, right? You want to
- 20:54verbalize it. You want to verbalize your
- 20:55emotions. Because when you do this, this
- 20:57is once again the first step to becoming
- 20:59more conscious, the first step to
- 21:00becoming more aware. And when you're
- 21:02more aware of the solution, now when
- 21:04you're more aware of the problem, right?
- 21:05You're more aware of the emotion, then
- 21:07this is where you can send it to Flow AI
- 21:09and then Flow AI will give you a
- 21:10solution, right? To prevent you from
- 21:12letting the emotion cloud your judgment,
- 21:14to prevent you from making stupid
- 21:15decisions, right? So, yeah, I'm about to
- 21:17take the next step set up right now,
- 21:19man, to like make it back. Talk me out
- 21:20of doing something stupid in three steps
- 21:22and tell me what to do right now. Once
- 21:24again, like this is just like an example
- 21:26prompt, right? You can probably have
- 21:27your own prompt, but you kind of just
- 21:30understand like the structure around it,
- 21:31which is you tell it the emotion, you
- 21:33tell it what you're going to do, and
- 21:34then you tell it to talk you out of
- 21:36doing that stupid mistake.
- 21:39Right? So, you're in tilt, that's the
- 21:40most dangerous moment to click. We'll
- 21:42reset you fast, we'll bring you back to
- 21:43roots. Stop and breathe, okay?
- 21:46Stop and breathe, cool. Okay, cool.
- 21:48Reset structure, reestablish rules gate,
- 21:50only consider a new trade if all of
- 21:52these are true, right? And here's what
- 21:54you should do right now. Step away from
- 21:55the screen for 3 minutes, timer on.
- 21:57Write a three-line post-loss review.
- 22:00Open sanctuary, right? Reassess your
- 22:02bias, identity check. Perfect. Mhm,
- 22:06chef's kiss, right? Perfect textbook
- 22:08answer. And by the way, like when I was
- 22:10training Flow AI, it wasn't just me
- 22:13teaching Flow AI everything I know about
- 22:15trading, all the trading experience and
- 22:17knowledge that I've accumulated for the
- 22:18past 7 years. No, I also trained it on
- 22:21how a professional trader would behave,
- 22:23right? I literally trained it on like
- 22:25all the materials that is available out
- 22:26there on the internet on how to think,
- 22:29act, feel, trade like a professional,
- 22:31right? So, that is why you see all of
- 22:32these answers is like very well thought
- 22:34out, it's really because of the fact
- 22:35that like we have trained it to become
- 22:37the the trading coach, that ideal of
- 22:40like the most disciplined and
- 22:42professional trader ever.
- 22:44Okay, so, once that's done, right? So,
- 22:47let's say I close my trade and I'm done
- 22:48trading for the day itself. Now, this is
- 22:51where I can also come to Flow AI, right?
- 22:52I can ask it to convert the day into a
- 22:55lesson, right? So, if I lose this amount
- 22:57of money today, I took this amount of
- 22:59trades, this This where I can provide
- 23:01Flow AI with the context and then based
- 23:02on that flow AI can tell me and help me
- 23:05identify what is the one pattern, what
- 23:07is the one mistake, what is the one rule
- 23:09that I can adjust tomorrow so that I can
- 23:12get better, right? This way every single
- 23:14day you are making progress. You're not
- 23:16just taking more trades, right? You're
- 23:17not just busy, you're actually
- 23:19productive, right? You are actually
- 23:21improving every single day.
- 23:23So this is where I can send something
- 23:24like, "Yo flow AI, here's a post session
- 23:26review. Today I took three trades. I
- 23:28made about 1.2 R. Best movement, I
- 23:30waited for my point of interest and
- 23:32executed clean. The worst mistake is I
- 23:35cut a winner early out of fear. Give me
- 23:37one pattern that you see, one lesson,
- 23:39and one rule for tomorrow." Okay, so
- 23:41once again, this is just an example
- 23:43prompt. Let's see what it says.
- 23:46All right, your discipline at entries,
- 23:48you know, you have waited for the point
- 23:49of interest. You're managing winners
- 23:51emotionally. You have early cut due to
- 23:53fear. Reason, fear spikes after entry
- 23:56lead to protecting unrealized P&L
- 23:57instead of following structure-based
- 23:59management. Good, right? So the pattern
- 24:01here is you had a strong selection and
- 24:04timing at point of interest, but you
- 24:06exited early, right? When price pulls
- 24:08back to the target, right? Exactly what
- 24:10I mentioned right there. The lesson here
- 24:12is certainty comes from rules, not
- 24:14emotions. Manage the trade by structure,
- 24:16not by the P&L fluctuating. Facts,
- 24:18facts, yo, word. Uh then rule for
- 24:21tomorrow, right? Move to break even or
- 24:23take first partial only, right? No early
- 24:25exit unless invalidation is tagged or
- 24:27structure flips against you. And here's
- 24:29a optional prep cue for tomorrow.
- 24:32Great progress, right? So yeah, man.
- 24:34We got an AI validating you, right? So
- 24:36even if you feel like you can
- 24:38always come to flow AI and it will
- 24:39validate you. No matter what you say, it
- 24:41will love you.
- 24:42So yeah, that's pretty much what I
- 24:44personally would do, right? How I would
- 24:46use flow AI on a day-to-day basis,
- 24:48pre-market, during trading, and
- 24:50post-market. Obviously, you don't want
- 24:52to abuse it, right? You don't want to
- 24:54rely on it too much. You don't want to
- 24:55be deep too dependent on it. Some
- 24:58sometimes the time you need to think on
- 24:59your own feet, right? You need to think
- 25:00independently right because after all
- 25:02your goal is to be a independently
- 25:05consistently profitable trader, not
- 25:07someone who relies on a crutch, right?
- 25:09So, yeah. From time to time you can use
- 25:11it to like assist you, but you still
- 25:13need to do your own trading, you still
- 25:14need to do your own reviewing, you still
- 25:16need to do your own journaling, you
- 25:17still need to do your own reflecting,
- 25:20right? Like there is no outsourcing of
- 25:22all of those tasks to Flow AI,
- 25:23unfortunately. Okay? So, what we what it
- 25:26can help you is to help you get better.
- 25:27Help you spot the patterns, help you
- 25:30give you the the the lessons that you
- 25:31need,
- 25:32and just overall give you more feedback
- 25:35from a rational standpoint, from a more
- 25:37objective standpoint, so you can
- 25:39actively get better.
- 25:42Now, here's a few prompts that you can
- 25:44use, right? I'm just going to list all
- 25:46of them out on the screen right now.
- 25:50Right? So,
- 25:52number one will probably be like help me
- 25:53get into execution mode, right? So,
- 25:55here's my plan today. This is the
- 25:57sentence, right? This is the sentence of
- 25:59your trade plan, right? So, maybe you
- 26:00want to actually trade your fair value
- 26:02gap plan, and then explain the plan to
- 26:04Flow AI, and then here's my biggest risk
- 26:06today, one sentence, okay? Like what
- 26:08could potentially go wrong while trading
- 26:10this plan? Give me three reminders
- 26:12before I trade.
- 26:14And then here's another prompt that you
- 26:15can use here as well, which is you're
- 26:17feeling emotional, right? When you're
- 26:18feeling emotional, like I said, just
- 26:19talk to Flow AI, you know, I just had a
- 26:22loss, I feel anger, I feel fear, I feel
- 26:24FOMO. Talk me out of, you know, making a
- 26:26stupid decision.
- 26:28And then next could be make this
- 26:30decision binary, right? Should I take
- 26:32this setup or should I skip it? And then
- 26:34you give it context, and then based on
- 26:36this, once again, Flow AI will provide
- 26:38you with the best course of action.
- 26:41And then next is to find the pattern,
- 26:43not the story, right? Like I said, if
- 26:45you keep on repeating the same mistake
- 26:47over and over again, and you can't seem
- 26:50to stop it, right? You want to, once
- 26:52again provide context with Flo AI. Your
- 26:54Flo AI is like I've been, you know, like
- 26:56taking a bunch of losses. I find myself
- 26:58always doing the same mistake over and
- 26:59over again. Based on what I'm telling
- 27:01you, what's the pattern that I'm
- 27:02repeating? And how can I break out of
- 27:04the pattern? Right? How can I start
- 27:06becoming more conscious?
- 27:08And then, last but not least, you can
- 27:11tell your mistake, right? And then give
- 27:14me what you want if then rule to prevent
- 27:16it tomorrow, right? So, maybe my mistake
- 27:19today is
- 27:20I actually did not wait for a liquidity
- 27:22sweep before I actually enter for the
- 27:23trade. Now, give me one if then rule to
- 27:25prevent it tomorrow. And then it will do
- 27:27so, right? So, yeah, these are some
- 27:29example prompts that you can use, right?
- 27:30These are five prompts. Like I said, you
- 27:32can really just speak to it honestly,
- 27:34right? You don't have to follow these
- 27:35prompts at all. You should like really
- 27:37just treat it like having a trading
- 27:39mentor right by your side.
- 27:42Okay?
- 27:43Uh so, here's what to do when it starts
- 27:45giving you generic advice, right?
- 27:46Because
- 27:47we all know how AI is. Sometimes it
- 27:49might give you advice tailored into your
- 27:51situation,
- 27:52right? Tell advice that is not
- 27:55personalized.
- 27:56So, when you encounter scenarios just
- 27:58like this, you want to tighten the
- 28:00question, right? Maybe you want tell it,
- 28:02"Yo, just give me one answer only,
- 28:04right? Don't give me all of these five
- 28:06different answers. Don't beat around the
- 28:07bush. Just give me one answer only."
- 28:10And then you might also want to add
- 28:11constraints, right? Send like a
- 28:12follow-up message saying that only use
- 28:15my rules,
- 28:17right? Only take into account the
- 28:20context of provided you with, not
- 28:23general trading advice.
- 28:26Okay? Like I said, the quality of the
- 28:27answers the is heavily dependent on the
- 28:30quality of your prompts. It's dependent
- 28:33on the quality of your questions. So, if
- 28:35you ask the right questions, you provide
- 28:36sufficient amount of context, it's going
- 28:38to give you a banger of answer just like
- 28:39this.
- 28:41And also, what you can potentially do is
- 28:43ask for questions instead of answers,
- 28:45right? So, if it give you like a generic
- 28:47advice, say
- 28:48"Okay, meditate." Then, now you're like,
- 28:50"Okay, that's not helpful for my
- 28:52situation." So, maybe ask me what you
- 28:55need to know.
- 28:58Ask me what you need to know in order
- 29:00for you to give me a personalized
- 29:03advice, right? Maybe something just like
- 29:05this, right? Just follow up with Flow
- 29:07AI.
- 29:09So, yeah. That's pretty much everything
- 29:11for Flow AI that I wanted to share
- 29:12today, right? I know it's very, very
- 29:13cool. I really like it as well. I think
- 29:15it's a very useful tool because we are
- 29:17living in the age of
- 29:19AI, and if you don't leverage it, you
- 29:21are going to lose to the trader who
- 29:22does. By the end of the day, just
- 29:24understand that Flow AI is here to help
- 29:26you think. Once again, like I said, it
- 29:28doesn't replace doing. You still have to
- 29:30be the one that is executing the trades.
- 29:32You still have to be the one that is
- 29:33doing your own processes, executing your
- 29:36own trading system.
- 29:38And when you're chatting with Flow AI,
- 29:39please make sure that you just
- 29:42like have one conversation at any given
- 29:45moment instead of like, you know, like
- 29:47spiraling out and start asking stuff
- 29:49like, "Yo, Flow AI, what's for lunch?
- 29:51What's for dinner? You know, today I'm
- 29:53actually about to watch this Netflix
- 29:54show. What's the best Netflix show to
- 29:56watch?" No, just use Flow AI for trading
- 29:59stuff, please. Right? Like if you're
- 30:00going to ask about all the general
- 30:01stuff, it's probably not going to give
- 30:03you the best answer, right? You can
- 30:05probably rely on ChatGPT on that.
- 30:07Actually, in fact, let me try this out.
- 30:09Uh what's the best Netflix show right
- 30:11now? Just to like, you know, maybe show
- 30:14you that.
- 30:15Whether I'm here Yeah, you can see. It's
- 30:17probably not going to give you the best
- 30:18answer, you know?
- 30:20Uh if you ask like a general question
- 30:22that is not related to trading. So, for
- 30:24all those general questions, highly
- 30:26recommend you to stick to ChatGPT,
- 30:28right? You can ask it whatever you want.
- 30:30Uh for for Flow AI, keep it strictly for
- 30:32trading, okay? Use it to return to your
- 30:35process, not to find certainty in the
- 30:37market. So, that's Flow AI. That's first
- 30:40version of Flow AI. Like I said, the
- 30:42future versions is going to be much more
- 30:44powerful. It's going to be much more
- 30:47um like context-driven. It's going to be
- 30:50much more smarter as well. And as time
- 30:53passes,
- 30:54just know that we will keep on improving
- 30:56Flow AI so that the feedback becomes
- 30:58much more personalized, and it becomes
- 31:00much more automatic as well, because now
- 31:02it's actually integrating into your
- 31:04trading data in the future. Right? Uh
- 31:07for now, just know that the quality of
- 31:09the answers is heavily dependent on the
- 31:11quality of your prompts. So, if a prompt
- 31:13is not good, right like this, then
- 31:15you're going to get a low-quality
- 31:17answer. Right? So, if you ever think
- 31:19about oh, Flow Flow AI is not doing a
- 31:21good job, then you might want to ask
- 31:23yourself whether you are doing a good
- 31:25job prompting it, right? Whether you are
- 31:27giving it a good question.
- 31:29And last but not least, just remember
- 31:31that if you use Flow AI for as like a
- 31:33therapist for your trading decisions, it
- 31:36will really like just save you from your
- 31:38worst habits. It will save you from
- 31:40yourself.
- 31:41And like that's the the whole game right
- 31:42here, right? Is ask better questions,
- 31:45get better feedback, and trade with less
- 31:47emotion.
- 31:48And you do that with the help of Flow
- 31:49AI.
