1. 0:13All right. So, let me put the hood on
2. 0:16and then I'm going to speak to you guys.
3. 0:18Please have a safe drive today.
4. 0:22It takes about 20 seconds.
5. 0:2416 seconds to be very specific and there
6. 0:27we go.
7. 0:28Get the tinted windows up. Yes, please.
8. 0:31All right. Now we good. Now we are like
9. 0:34officially
10. 0:36silence. All right, we're in the
11. 0:37Batmobile right now. All right. The
12. 0:40lighting right here. What better way to
13. 0:42end of this series by being in the car
14. 0:46that I've bought for my mom. This brand
15. 0:48new Mercedes right here. It was my mom's
16. 0:50dream car for the longest time and I
17. 0:52finally purchased it for her.
18. 0:54And I just wanted to really just show
19. 0:56you guys what's possible. Right? This is
20. 0:58what's possible, right? When you
21. 0:59actually succeed at trading, you're able
22. 1:01to bless your family, your loved ones,
23. 1:04give them a life that they've always
24. 1:05dreamed of. Okay? So, let's get talking.
25. 1:11So, welcome to the final lesson of the
26. 1:15Market Mechanics Mentorship Series.
27. 1:18First of all, if you made it all the way
28. 1:19through, I just want to say
29. 1:21congratulations
30. 1:22because a lot of people start things,
31. 1:24but very few people actually finish
32. 1:26that.
33. 1:27So, the fact that you made it through
34. 1:28this entire series already says
35. 1:30something good about you. Very
36. 1:32impressive, right? You are very
37. 1:33disciplined.
38. 1:35But, remember that this is not the
39. 1:37finishing line. It's just the starting
40. 1:40line. The goal here was never just to
41. 1:43give you information.
42. 1:45The goal here was to give you a
43. 1:46framework, a way to see the market
44. 1:49differently, to understand price action
45. 1:51and approach trading with much more
46. 1:53structure, much more clarity, and much
47. 1:56more discipline.
48. 1:58Now it is your job to turn that
49. 2:00framework into skill.
50. 2:02By now, you should have learned how the
51. 2:03market works, why price move the way it
52. 2:06move, support and not not support and
53. 2:08resistance levels, supply and demand
54. 2:10zones, order blocks, flip zones,
55. 2:12liquidity concepts, imbalance like all
56. 2:14of these good old juicy market mechanics
57. 2:16concepts, how to manage risk properly,
58. 2:18what are the processes, the daily
59. 2:20routines of a professional trader.
60. 2:23That is a solid foundation to start
61. 2:25with. You're already better than like
62. 2:2799% of the traders out there.
63. 2:30But knowledge alone is not enough.
64. 2:32Because the market does not pay you for
65. 2:34what you know. It pays you for what you
66. 2:37can execute consistently.
67. 2:40So, what now?
68. 2:43I don't want you guys to be jumping to a
69. 2:44new strategy next week. I don't want you
70. 2:45guys to be chasing another ICT concept
71. 2:47because you got bored. I don't want you
72. 2:49guys to continue to consume endless
73. 2:51amount of content without practicing.
74. 2:54What matters right now is you putting
75. 2:56the reps.
76. 2:57You spend a lot a lot of time
77. 2:59familiarizing yourself with these
78. 3:00concepts. You journaling, you forward
79. 3:03testing, you back testing, you reviewing
80. 3:05your trades, and just building
81. 3:07consistency over time.
82. 3:10Because at this stage,
83. 3:11your growth is going to come less from
84. 3:13learning, more theory, and
85. 3:16instead is going to come from you
86. 3:18applying what you already know.
87. 3:21Okay, so you don't need more
88. 3:22information, you don't need more
89. 3:23concepts, you don't need more secret
90. 3:25strategies. You just need to apply what
91. 3:28you already know. You just need to put
92. 3:31in more reps, be more patient on the
93. 3:33charts, be more disciplined on a daily
94. 3:34basis, gather more data, and trust the
95. 3:38process.
96. 3:40The edge is not in endlessly
97. 3:42collecting information. The edge is in
98. 3:45executing simple things well over and
99. 3:48over again.
100. 3:50Bruce Lee famously said, "I don't fear
101. 3:52the man who knows a thousand kicks. I
102. 3:54fear the man who have practiced a kick a
103. 3:56thousand times." Same thing right here.
104. 3:58It's all about putting in as much reps
105. 4:00as humanly possible, gathering so much
106. 4:02data that is unreasonable that you do
107. 4:04not trust your trading plan. It's
108. 4:06unreasonable that you do not succeed.
109. 4:09Remember, confidence comes from
110. 4:12evidence, all right? And how you build
111. 4:13evidence is by being competent. And the
112. 4:16only way to become competent is to put
113. 4:18in the reps.
114. 4:20If you guys one final piece of advice,
115. 4:22it would probably be do not rush the
116. 4:25process.
117. 4:27Do not try to become profitable as fast
118. 4:30as humanly possible. Take your time.
119. 4:34Enjoy the process. Enjoy the journey.
120. 4:38Because when you eventually do succeed,
121. 4:39which is only a matter of time,
122. 4:41you're going to look back and just be
123. 4:43really appreciative of like everything
124. 4:45that you have went through.
125. 4:49And the funny thing is the more you try
126. 4:50to rush the process, the longer it's
127. 4:52going to take.
128. 4:53Okay, remember this.
129. 4:55It's going to take as long as it's going
130. 4:57to take.
131. 4:58It might take you 3 years, it might take
132. 5:00you 5 years, it might take you 10 years,
133. 5:02but it's going to take a very long time.
134. 5:03And the question becomes, are you
135. 5:05willing
136. 5:07to just play the long game?
137. 5:10Because like back when I started
138. 5:12trading, when I was in your exact
139. 5:14position,
140. 5:15I was blowing accounts, I was failing
141. 5:17funding challenges, I was losing money
142. 5:19consistently. I didn't know when I was
143. 5:21not going to succeed, to be honest with
144. 5:23you, right? I didn't even know
145. 5:25if I will make it.
146. 5:27But deep down,
147. 5:29you know, there's this unshakable belief
148. 5:32that I was destined for more.
149. 5:34I wasn't meant to live an ordinary life.
150. 5:37I wasn't meant to work a 9-to-5 job. I
151. 5:39wasn't meant to be a waiter serving
152. 5:42tables to other rich customers. I wasn't
153. 5:44meant to live a mediocre life where I'm
154. 5:46partying on Friday night, drinking my
155. 5:48ass off to a life that I absolutely
156. 5:51despise.
157. 5:52I was meant for something more. Deep
158. 5:54down, I just know it.
159. 5:56I just know that the dream life is
160. 5:58seeking me as much as I'm seeking it.
161. 6:01So, once again, while I was going
162. 6:03through that phase of unprofitability,
163. 6:05you know, I was stuck in that cycle for
164. 6:06years, right? For 3 years.
165. 6:10I just didn't know, but I just trust
166. 6:13with every fiber of my being that I will
167. 6:16eventually succeed.
168. 6:18I will eventually make it.
169. 6:20I will eventually become consistently
170. 6:22profitable. I will eventually be able to
171. 6:25live my dream life, travel the world,
172. 6:26retire my father, buy my my dream car.
173. 6:31And I want you guys to have that same
174. 6:32faith, right? I want you guys to have
175. 6:34that faith. So, yeah, just stick as long
176. 6:36as it's going to take. Remember, how
177. 6:38long it's going to take for you to
178. 6:39succeed, or when exactly are you going
179. 6:42to become a millionaire trader, when are
180. 6:44you going to get funded six figures,
181. 6:46that is outside of your control. What is
182. 6:48within your control is how you show up
183. 6:50every single day.
184. 6:53Okay, that is within your control.
185. 6:55So, just show up every single day, and
186. 6:57do what's necessary. Do what's required.
187. 7:01Let me just close the air con right
188. 7:02here. I know it's a little bit noisy
189. 7:04right here.
190. 7:06And just do what's necessary. Do what's
191. 7:08required.
192. 7:10Okay, do the boring tasks for a extended
193. 7:12period of time.
194. 7:14Yes, go out there
195. 7:17and study the charts, do your back
196. 7:19testing, do your journaling, do your
197. 7:21reviewing.
198. 7:24Just do all of these boring for a
199. 7:25longest time, right? Like, that's my
200. 7:27best piece of advice. Because when you
201. 7:29do that, what happens is that you are
202. 7:31pretty much building the skill set of
203. 7:33becoming a professional trader.
204. 7:35You start to adopt the identity of a
205. 7:37professional trader.
206. 7:39You might not see the results of a
207. 7:40professional trader yet, but you are
208. 7:42thinking, acting, and feeling like one.
209. 7:45And when you change your operating
210. 7:47system, when change your identity,
211. 7:51the world around you starts changing.
212. 7:52Your trading results starts changing.
213. 7:55Slowly you go from losing
214. 7:57to break even to little bit profitable,
215. 8:00and then massively profitable.
216. 8:03All right, so don't rush the process.
217. 8:06For the love of God, just keep showing
218. 8:08up every single day
219. 8:10because
220. 8:12if you show up every single day, you
221. 8:13will never ever miss a lucky day.
222. 8:15All right, if you show up every single
223. 8:16day, you will never ever miss a lucky
224. 8:18day. How can a person who show up every
225. 8:19single day miss a lucky day?
226. 8:22The days when, you know, he miraculously
227. 8:25managed to get funded or make 10k a
228. 8:29month, he was there. All right, he was
229. 8:31there on the charts just grinding as he
230. 8:33always does, following the trading plan,
231. 8:35journaling, reviewing, blah blah blah.
232. 8:38So, remember that you cannot lose if you
233. 8:41are focused on holding the skill set. If
234. 8:44you are focused on mastering the skill
235. 8:46set of trading, you literally cannot
236. 8:48lose. Think about it. What's the worst
237. 8:50thing that could potentially happen?
238. 8:54Well,
239. 8:55you go through all of this stuff, you
240. 8:56practice every single day,
241. 8:58the worst thing that could potentially
242. 8:59happen is that you leave
243. 9:01this industry with a skill set that
244. 9:04could potentially make you rich for the
245. 9:06rest of your life.
246. 9:08All right, that's technical analysis,
247. 9:10that's fundamental analysis, that's
248. 9:12trading psychology, that's risk
249. 9:13management.
250. 9:15Even if it doesn't make you a better
251. 9:16trader, it does make you a better human.
252. 9:18I can tell you that.
253. 9:19All right, so master trading and you
254. 9:21will master life. Master life and you
255. 9:24will master trading. They both go hand
256. 9:26in hand. I fundamentally believe that
257. 9:28the universe is a represent The market
258. 9:30is a representation of the universe.
259. 9:32The market is simply a reflection of
260. 9:35you. It's a mirror. So, if you do not
261. 9:37like your results,
262. 9:40chances are you need to change the
263. 9:41person in the mirror.
264. 9:45So, take your time with it. It's going
265. 9:47to take as long as it's going to take.
266. 9:50And
267. 9:52just have faith, man. Just trust that
268. 9:55it's going to work out.
269. 9:57I mean, like, what's the alternative
270. 9:59here? You know, the alternative here is
271. 10:01that
272. 10:03you quit this
273. 10:05and then you go back to a miserable
274. 10:06life.
275. 10:07So, if you feel like quitting, just
276. 10:09remember why you started in the first
277. 10:10place.
278. 10:11All right, just remember what is your
279. 10:14strong compelling reason that get you
280. 10:16off the bed every single morning.
281. 10:18Think about who you're doing this for.
282. 10:20Whether it's your father,
283. 10:22whether it's your mother, whether it's
284. 10:24your son, your daughter, whether it's
285. 10:25your girlfriend, your wife.
286. 10:28Think about who you are doing it for.
287. 10:30Why are you doing this? Because I can
288. 10:32triple guarantee you that it's going to
289. 10:34suck, man.
290. 10:36There's going to be a lot of times where
291. 10:37you feel like quitting. There's going to
292. 10:39be late nights. There's going to be
293. 10:41early mornings where you just don't feel
294. 10:43like getting off the bed.
295. 10:45You know, you just want to sleep in.
296. 10:46You're You're tired. You have been
297. 10:47training. You have been studying the
298. 10:49charts every single day. It's a Sunday.
299. 10:51Your friends are out there having
300. 10:53brunch. You're tired, man. You just want
301. 10:55to sleep in. But, you can't.
302. 10:57Because you got a dream to pursue.
303. 11:00Because you got to wake up and work for
304. 11:02your dream life. Because you got to
305. 11:04become a professional trader.
306. 11:08Fuel the fire that lit up below your
307. 11:10ass.
308. 11:11That is going to get you cooking. I
309. 11:13can tell you that.
310. 11:14So, yeah.
311. 11:17Those are like
312. 11:18some advice that I wish my younger self
313. 11:20knew.
314. 11:20Is to just have faith, man. Have faith
315. 11:23in the universe. Have faith in God. Have
316. 11:25faith in the markets. Just know that
317. 11:27it's going to deliver
318. 11:29your desired outcome in his divine
319. 11:31timing.
320. 11:32It's just going to take as long as it's
321. 11:34going to take. For some people it could
322. 11:35They could have it easy, you know, they
323. 11:36could have it easy.
324. 11:38And they might succeed in 1 month, they
325. 11:40might succeed in 1 year. But for some
326. 11:42other people who are a unfortunate lot
327. 11:44like myself,
328. 11:46it might take them 7 years, 5 years,
329. 11:49even 10 years.
330. 11:53But at the end of the day, you are going
331. 11:55to succeed. So just go in with that
332. 11:58mindset.
333. 11:59Right? Just go with the mindset where
334. 12:01you know what? I'm just going to show up
335. 12:02every single day, focus on the stuff
336. 12:04that's within my control, focus on
337. 12:06showing up, doing my best every single
338. 12:08day, and whatever happens, happens.
339. 12:12And just have this unshakable,
340. 12:15unequivocal
341. 12:18belief
342. 12:19that you are going to win in this game.
343. 12:22You are going to become one of the best
344. 12:23that has ever played this game.
345. 12:26When you have that belief, you
346. 12:27fundamentally cannot lose.
347. 12:30All right, you cannot lose. Now, if you
348. 12:32want to take everything that you've

412. 14:48profitable trader, just go and check
413. 14:50them out.
414. 14:52Remember
415. 14:53that
416. 14:54I will always have your best interest in
417. 14:56mind. I built these two products because
418. 14:59I found a gap in the trading industry,
419. 15:01right? The trading courses out there
420. 15:02sucks. The mentorship program out there
421. 15:04is not in depth enough.
422. 15:06The coaches out there can't simplify
423. 15:07things like I do. And I pretty much
424. 15:10solved that gap with 1% Club with the
425. 15:11mentorship program, all right? I
426. 15:13literally created the best mentorship
427. 15:14program. Check out the reviews. Check
428. 15:16out the wins. You will see that it's
429. 15:17undeniable. Same thing with Edge Flow,
430. 15:19right? I just saw that, you know, I was
431. 15:22so sick and tired of trying to juggle
432. 15:24everything. I was trying to manage reads
433. 15:26on one app. I was trying to journal on
434. 15:29other app. I was trying to look at news
435. 15:31in another app. And I was just using so
436. 15:33many apps. My entire workflow is so
437. 15:34fragmented. It's so chaotic. So, I
438. 15:37decided to just build one app where I
439. 15:38can have everything in one place.
440. 15:41So, yeah, those are the products that I
441. 15:43just wished I had because if I had those
442. 15:44products in my first year, I would have
443. 15:46been so profitable so much faster, man.
444. 15:49Anyways, if you don't want to get those,
445. 15:51it's fine as well, right? I just hope
446. 15:52that you guys have enjoyed this free
447. 15:5430-day series. Congratulations once
448. 15:56again. Mad respect to you. Uh but
449. 15:59remember, graduating from this series is
450. 16:01just the start. It does not make you a
451. 16:02trader.
452. 16:04Executing what you learn does.
453. 16:06Okay, showing up every single day,
454. 16:08putting in the reps does. Because that's
455. 16:10how you gather the undeniable evidence
456. 16:14that you are indeed who you say you are.
457. 16:16By keeping the promises that you make to
458. 16:18yourself every single day.
459. 16:21Remember, at the end of the day, the
460. 16:22market will always reward discipline,
461. 16:25patience, and consistency.
462. 16:28Now, it is your turn to take what you've
463. 16:30learned, apply on the charts, and build
464. 16:32a skill for yourself.
465. 16:34I'm so proud of you making it this far.
466. 16:37And as always, just know that I'm always
467. 16:39going to be rooting for you. Even if no
468. 16:41one else believe in you, even your
469. 16:42friends doubt you, your family say that
470. 16:44trading's not for you, I will always
471. 16:47believe in you.
472. 16:49All right, so go out there, believe in
473. 16:50yourself, do the work, put in the reps.
474. 16:53And as always, remember you're just one
475. 16:56trade away. Mwah. One trade away from
476. 16:59success, baby.
