What's up, guys? Back with another
video. It's been a while since I sat
down and talked to you guys. I think it
was been like a couple days. Um, I tried
to stay as consistent as possible on
this YouTube stuff, but this thing is
like a full-time job. And every time I'm
speaking to you guys, it's pretty much
raw and authentic because I have no like
notepad like there's no notepads.
There's no chat GBT, bro. All this is
just straight knowledge off the top of
my head and past experiences that I've
been through. Um, first first and
foremost, actually, we're going to shake
a little bit of the haters. Matter of
fact, so today I actually got a withdraw
of 450,000
as you can see there. Can you see that?
Let me move my face out of here. But I
just got a whip draw of 450,000.
And you know, just got to keep them just
got to keep them shooking up cuz like I
love people on internet, bro. They they
always feel like they know everything.
They feel like they know everything,
right? They they know my social security
and everything. Anyways, just got to
keep those guys shaking up. So just just
let that one sit there for them. That's
for them. Not not for y'all guys. ICC
Mafia, I love you guys. But for the
haters, yeah, just just like let that
sink in with you right quick.
Anyways, but um this previous week I
lost right around like $4 million in a
trade and I was holding that trade for
like 11 days. So the big topic of this
video is really going to be like the
mental side of this. Um I don't lose a
lot and this is not like an ego thing,
but I don't lose a lot. I'm a swing
trader. I trade off the higher time
frame. So my losses are very rare
because I'm looking for the overall
trend in the market and the market can
only go one or one or one or the other
way both ways. So up or down and it's
like a 50/50. So you your odds of making
one of them right is very high right
being right. Um, so with all this being
said, I took a loss this week after
holding for 11 days and
I was explaining this in the telegram
like to me losses really don't affect me
like how it would if I was a beginner.
Now mind you
in the beginning losses also didn't
affect me as much only because you knew
the risk you was getting into. Most
people, they don't understand like when
you lose and it hurts you, that means
that you've put a little bit more risk
than you can eat or you've overall knew
that you was in the wrong and you still
did it. Anyways, those are normally the
two common things that people forget
when it comes to losses and then they
say they have this emotional attachment
or they this like emotional pain because
they lost.
You are either too married to that
trade, too bias, or you just overall
risk way more than what you ex like
needed to chew down and it ended up
biting you in the butt and now you're
like, damn, like I lost way more. Now I
got to kind of start over all over. So
those are some common things that people
are always like when they take a loss,
that's what always hurts them. So with
me, I've used to do that when I was a
beginner, but I've stopped doing that
because you got to think about it.
There's almost like what is it like 220
days out of the year? 220 business days
out of the year.
You have 220
220
days out of the year to get into a trade
and be profitable. Think of it from this
standpoint. price could either buy or
sell. Also consolidate, but buy or sell.
When it has volume, it's either going to
buy or sell. That's already a 50% and
50%. So, whenever you get into a trade,
your chances are 50/50 to be honest. To
be honest, right, your chances are
already 50/50. If you take that 50/50
and you put that
if you put that inside of like let's say
220 days,
your chances of coming out with 50% of
that win rate or just overall 50% of any
type of like win in general is very high.
high.
And I'm saying this and the numbers
might sound confusing, but don't get
confused. Right?
You have 220 days. Price is either going
to buy or sell. Some days consolidate.
Buy or sell.
Just because you lose one day doesn't
mess up your odds of the next day being
a winner.
One of these days you're going to be a
winner. And this is what I want to touch on.
on.
You do not have to make it feel like
trading is something where it's like one
day and that's it. like you cuz I know
some people out here think like if even
when they're in a great trade, they feel
like this great trade is going to be
their only best trade in in the like
entire trading history. So then they
start stacking positions. They start um
trying to scalp buys and sells in their
in their current position. They start
overleveraging. They start overtrading
it. You know, don't get out. They're
holding too long or they're cutting
their losses short. I mean, or they're
cutting their win short because they
think that it could reverse or they have
like [snorts] when it comes to winning,
it's a lot of psychological things that
kind of messes with your brain when
you're winning and also when you're
losing, right? But I don't want you guys
to get in the habit of thinking like a
loss is something like it's like, bro,
this is the end of the world. I'm the
worst trader. That's never the case. I
want you guys to take a loss as a simple
fact as like, okay, my positioning was wrong
wrong
or it was the wrong timing because
sometimes you guys can be right, but it
could be the wrong timing. Right?
Previously, I personally still think
crypto is going to crash. I personally
still think that. Um, that's just my
personal like perspective on it, but I
personally still Okay, I'm done saying
personal. Anyways,
my positioning was great.
The timing of what I wanted was wrong.
So, if I know the timing is wrong and I
know that there's 220 more days or more
days in the year to trade,
wait for it another time. It's going to
be another time. I tell that to I tell
that to myself a lot. If I know I'm
wrong, the timing is off. I the
structure is there, the bear structure
is there, but the the trade is it's not
it's not right right now. It's not it's
not the time yet. Then who am I to go
back in markets and try to force
something when it's not the time?
There's always a time and a place for
everything. And this comes with life,
too. I tell you guys this a lot in the
videos like life and trading mimic each
other because the life or the trading
life you have is going to bleed into
your normal life vice versa. So they're
both going to bleed into each other and
you're going to learn some lessons in
trading that are going to apply to your
life lessons, right? And you can take
some life lessons and learn it in
trading, right? A greedy man
cuz a lot of people said I was greedy,
right? I understand. I probably I
probably get where you're coming from,
but me personally, I don't look at the
numbers of it. And I know it might sound
crazy because you're like, "Bro, if I
was holding $8 million in a trade, I I
would have closed. Like, I would have
just got out." That's you. Because
you're thinking of it as like $8 million
can change my life, right? It can change
anybody's life, don't get me wrong. But
think about it from this perspective.
Change the way that you think about
trading. Think about it from this perspective.
perspective.
Okay, my position.
We're currently winning the war by $8 million.
million.
Is there any more territory that we can
claim? Is there more any territory that
needs to be taken over in this war?
If not, then the we will seize the war
and we'll just take our win. Think about
it in this perspective. Is my position
good enough to keep going? Is this war
still going? Can it still keep fighting?
Can price still keep push down or keep
pushing up?
Think about the position that you're in,
not just how much money you are. The
position that you are in. Can it
continue or can it not continue? If it
if you think it cannot continue and
things that you can say that is slow
volume. So when you start to see price
stagnant at one level, kind of
consolidate, stay at one level, not
really move, not really make too many
movements, when you see it sitting at
support or sitting at resistance,
feel free to take your position off.
Feel free to close your trade,
right? And I know people are going to be
like, "But you should have did the same
thing." Me, I'm a little stubborn. I
like to fight the grain. I'm a rebel.
I'm a rebull.
Um, I definitely like to fight the
grain, especially when I have a lot of
um, influences stacked against the odds,
right? I like to kind of, you know,
fight fire with fire. That's me. But the
safest way for you guys
is to look at the markets and a
positional level. Look at it as like,
okay, this is the position I'm choosing.
This is a good position. We can scale
from this position. And I feel like I
say this a lot on this channel. Um, but
it's really important to just really
like I I I understand. I understand. We
all are in this game to make some money.
We're all here to feed our families and
help our friends and travel and go on
vacations and live the best life. I understand.
understand.
But I definitely want to tell you the
moment that you take your mind off of
how much money you need to make or how
much money you want to make or how much
money you're going to make, once you literally
literally
like ah
[snorts] I wish I can just like [groaning]
[groaning]
I want to help you guys so bad, but I
really just need you guys to like remove
yourself from the physical
piece of paper that's holding you down.
Think about life. Look how bad life is
because we feel like we have to chase
this piece of paper in order to be a
successful person.
In order to be a successful trader, it
doesn't mean that you're making the most money.
money.
Stop thinking that. Stop thinking, "Oh,
because I'm making six figures, I'm the
best trader or that person's the best
trader." I won't even classify myself as
the best trader. I'm not. I'm far from
the best trader,
but I will say I do know what I'm doing
on the charts and I will continue to
every day perfect my craft every single
day. No matter what, I will always
perfect my craft every single day.
Sharpen my blade every single day so I
can be ready for war. No matter what, I
will always sharpen my sharpen my blade
every single time. So, with this being
said, take your mind off of the result.
Take your mind off of the actual numbers
because that is simply why we're in this
rat race. Why people are in this rat
race now because you're thinking too
much of like money, money, money, money,
dollars, dollars, dollars. And I know, I
know it's hard, but this is this is how
and Oh, bro, they're probably going to
think about the world. I really want to
dig deep in this channel. This might be
a longer video, but I really want to dig
deep with you guys. Anybody in ICC
Mafia, I always want to preach to you
guys something that I've learned along
the ways and things that I've learned
along the ways that have truly changed
my perspective. Things that I've used to
think matter that doesn't matter to this day.
day. So
things are propaganda in a sense.
The way that the world presents itself
to you as a human being will always hit
you psychologically to a point where you
don't even realize that you're going in
a loop. You don't even know that you're
going into a circle. Prime example, right?
right?
Let's let's talk. Let's actually talk
prime example
from being a kid.
You you are taught you know history, art,
art,
uh math, science,
language arts, biology, everything. So
just everything, right? You're taught
this as a kid, right?
And I'm not trying to sound like an
Andrew Tape [ __ ]
but think about it.
They don't teach you things that you're
actually going to need in this life.
They're not teaching you the actual
skills that you're going to actually
use. I'm going to be honest. You call me
dumb all you want or whatever. Like, I
only made it up to 10th grade. I made
all A's in school. By the way, I've
always made all A's in school. School is
fairly easy. It's just remembering what
what the teacher said and remembering
something that's in a book and then you
can pass a test. Like the tests never
really challenged you on your critical
thinking skills. Tests in school were
always like, "Hey, do you remember
this?" When we talked about this, did
you remember it? School to me is always
like a remembrance thing. Never a
critical thinking thing. Which is why
it's so hard for me to believe
when people are like watching videos
like this and they get on the charts.
How can you not remember something when
your brain has been going through this
process pretty much all its life? We've
always been in a mindset of like you
this is how you do this. Remember that.
Same way. Now I'm going to pull put this
into a perspective. Now you grew up like
this. This is this. This is that.
Remember it. You grow up. You become an
adult. This is how you put the patty on
the bun. This is how you put the
condiments on the bun. Slap the bun
together. Give the order. This is how
you do that. this is how you do this.
Remember that. But
But
when you do that, there's no like
critical thinking skills to it. When it
comes to it, everything you do is this
is that, this is that. Don't think of
anything else. This is that, this is that.
that. So
So
all our lives we've been basically
I wouldn't even say programmed because
that's more of like a robotic thing but
we are sort of like robots.
Now the moment you start thinking critically
critically
you start sitting down with your actual
thoughts and letting your actual brain
process things in. That's why you need
to go outside. That's why you need to
explore. That's why it's so hard for
traveling is not hard but it's hard for
people. When you start traveling and you
start seeing and exploring different
things in in environments, your brain
starts to open up. So basically what I'm
trying to say is let your brain breathe
so it can take in more information so it
can take in more new characteristics of
life more more [snorts]
[snorts]
it's just going to take in a lot I don't
even know how to explain
what when I actually sat down and really
thought to myself of like what is life
and we will never ever know the actual
answer to it you know we're here put
here to live our lives, help our
families, and serve God, of course.
But at the same time, who made this
figure, this piece of paper
in our lives to overall say, "Hey, this
is this is how we're going to pay for
this and this is how we're going to pay
for that, right? Who made it that way?" Right?
Then you get programmed. Hey, if you
remember, so basically, if you remember
how to do this and that and do this for
me and do that for me, I'll give you
this piece of paper, right?
So, all we do is do that because that's
what's going to give us the money. But
the moment we think critically, the
moment we think outside the box or the
moment we think too much of what is
given in front of us,
things get harder, right? Things get
harder. That's why becoming a trader is
hard. Becoming a becoming an
entrepreneur is hard. Becoming a actor
is hard. Becoming a musician is hard
because these things make you think
critically. And as as a person, as a
human, we've been born into this life
where people has just this is this, this
is that. So we cannot think critically
yet. Now
before I keep ranting on, how can I open
my mind? How can you open your heart and
open your mind to different things and
exploring? How do you make those first
steps? Right? Anybody can do this. You
don't need money.
You don't need anything expensive.
You just need to get up and do it.
Right? So, one thing that I used to do
to kind of open my, you know, way of
thinking, my thought process is sit
alone. Do this. I'm alone, right?
And this is going to sound fairly easy,
but you guys, excuse me. Uh, you guys
really have to sit alone. Sit with your
thoughts. No phone. Turn this off. Turn
the TV off. Turn the computer off. Sit alone.
alone.
When you sit alone, I need you I need
you to be real with yourself.
You have to be real with yourself, bro.
You have to Your brain has to know it's
not living in a delusion. Your brain has
to know like this is where I'm at. This
is my life. This is my situation. This
is my struggles. This is my pain. This
is my heart. This is my happiness. Your
brain needs to process that in because
you can lie to yourself. People lie to
themselves which causes delusion.
Delusion is in your brain. When you're
so delusional to the point that your
brain thinks it is real and think this
is the life, you need to be real with
yourself first before you can expand at
all. Because the moment you become real
with yourself is the moment that your
brain can actually start thinking of
problems. I meant to start thinking of
solutions to solve the problems that
you're you're having. But if you're in
delusion, your brain will never think
it's a problem because your delusion is
a perfect life. Your delusion is that
you are happy. Your delusion is the fact
that you are okay. So when you have
these delusions in your brain, your
brain will never critically think
because you're thinking in your head, I
am okay where I'm at or I am happy. I am
okay. But the moment you be real with
yourself and saying I am not okay, this
is not okay. This is not what I want.
This is not where I want to be. Once
your brain starts sitting alone, sitting
with itself, and taking all that in,
you're basically bullying yourself,
you're basically bullying yourself to
push itself at the same time. I know it
might sound confusing, but when you
start doing it and when you start trying
it more often, you'll see what I'm
talking about. You're basically
yelling at yourself, telling yourself
like, "Hey, this is wrong. This isn't
what I want. this isn't what I want.
Change, change, change. You're going to
think, change. I need to change. I need
to change. Now, there will be some
people in this world that get emotional
to this. It will be emotional. And you
have to let the emotions come in. Use that
that
to think, okay, I am hurt because this
is not where I want to be. I am so hurt.
I I my life sucks or this sucks and I
don't want to do this anymore. I'm hurt.
I'm in pain.
My heart is broken. My heart is
shattered. I'm unhappy. I'm depressed.
I'm in pain. You're going to think that
when this happens, when you sit alone
with yourself, this these are the things
that you're going to think. When you
actually let yourself
get out of delusion and actually take
what you have, take the situation you're
in and accept it. You're going to start
feeling emotions. You might be happy. I
mean, you might be sad. You might be
depressed. You might be angry. You might
be envy, greed, jealousy, all these
things are going to come in. But that is
the thing as human beings that is what
we was here to do, bro. We was here to
create and evolve. But without the
without the emotions, without
without
without emotions, without your your
overall characteristics of your human
being put to work, you will never be
able to create or evolve as a human
being because you're not being real with
yourself. So your brain doesn't think
anything is wrong. But the moment you
let your brain come in, process, hey,
this is me. What can I change? You start
finding solutions. And as these
solutions come in, you start to
understand like, okay,
I need to do this. This is the better
me. This is the better version of me.
This is what I need to do. This is what
I need to do. You start doing this,
things will change and open up. You'll
start to critically think for yourself
because this is what's good for you. And
you're not living in a delusion. You're
living in a life that you're trying to
build for yourself. You're trying to
build your new life, not someone else's
life. You're trying to build your life
because you your brain is telling you,
hey, I I think we would be good if we do
this. I think we'll be good if we do
that. And sometimes you will fail. You
will fail. Maybe that might not work for
you. Maybe this might not work for you.
Right? You there's times where you might
fail. But that is the good thing about
it because once you fail, you the one
you can take your mistakes and learn
from them faster cuz you're honest with
yourself. So you understand like, all
right, this was absolutely wrong. I
shouldn't do it this way. I should try
it this way this time. Or you could find
a different path. Maybe that path isn't
for you. So now you're real with
yourself. So you're like, "Okay, I
understand this path is not for me. Let
me try something else that I'm
interested in." And you know what you're
interested in because you're real with
yourself. You see how opening your mind
and thinking critically for yourself
will open a lot of opportunities for
yourself in general cuz you're not so
closed off and you're not living in
delusion. So that way you can just
think, you can think freely. You can
think you think now anything is possible
in this world. You now think anything is
possible. So once you do think this, you
feel like you can conquer the world. But
don't let that ego hit you too hard
because there's things that take a lot
of talent. This is where I'm going with
this one.
As you are becoming this new person that
you want to be, you have to remember
skills will always beat someone that was
born with the talent. Because one thing
is you don't even know if you had a
special talent in something in this
world that you just never experience.
You could be a professional skateboarder
and you just never picked up a
skateboard in your life. So, you
probably wouldn't even know that, right?
There's some people out here that are
gifted and talented and something and
they don't even know it, bro. They don't
even know it because they're looking in
the wrong direction. They're looking in
the wrong direction.
This is why we have standards.
And what do I mean by this? There are
some people in this world that are
gifted and talented in something, but
they'll never pick it up. Right? But
then the people that pick up something
and just become skillful in it, they
become fairly good. So that is the
standard. That person built this skill.
So this person should look like this.
This person should act like this. This
person should be this way. as a day
trader. This person is supposed to do
this as a day trader. This person is
supposed to do that as a day trader.
This person is supposed to look like
this as a day trader, right? Because
that person learned a skill and now that
is the standard.
Nothing is impossible. So once again,
like I said earlier, you can do anything.
anything.
But when you have the skill for doing
something, you can. It doesn't matter
what you look like. It doesn't matter
who you are. It doesn't matter what you
do or where you live. It doesn't matter
what race you are. You can do it if you
actually learn the skill. You can beat
talent anytime. Somebody that will never
even know if they was good at trading
because they never touched it before.
You can beat them every single time. Or
you can beat somebody that was very
skillful in trading.
You can do whatever you want, but you
have to focus on that craft. Focus on
that skill. Build the skill. Sharpen the
blade. Get ready for war. All right.
Now, to the talent person,
there's people out here that are very,
very talented at things. We
We
forget that the life that we live in,
there are outliers. There are some
people that already think this way based
off their childhood. They're probably
already thinking the way that I'm
teaching you guys based like in their
childhood. And it just you're just born
with this or like you just you just got
this at a young age. and you kind of
understood what you needed to get into,
right? And that's not for everybody. If
you don't have it now, then you never
had it, right? So, you have to build it.
So, if you don't think this way already,
then you have to build it, right? So,
once again, like I said earlier, open
your mind to things. Start being real
with yourself. Get out of your delusion.
Accept what your life is and move
towards your goal. Accept what your life
is. Move towards that goal. Stop being
delusional. Stop being depressed. Stop
being sad about it.
[ __ ] suck it up. Suck it up, bro.
There's There's people out here that
don't even they're not even going to
wake up the next morning as you're
watching this video. Somebody already
died again. Somebody already got killed
again. Somebody already passed away.
Somebody already overdosed
already. As you're watching this video
and you're still watching the video and
you're still [ __ ] upset, you're still
sad. You're still depressed. It doesn't
make any sense. You're still watching
this video
and you're upset because your life is
the way it is, but it could be 10 times
worse. You have Wi-Fi. You have a
cellular device. You have access to the
internet, obviously.
So, with this being said, you have to be
one, grateful. I got it. I'm grateful now.
now.
I'm grateful that I'm here on this
earth. I'm grateful I'm alive. I'm
grateful that God has me here still. And
this is a evil world. This is a [ __ ]
evil world, bro. There's evil people in
this world. I wish we could make the
whole world good, but then there would
[ __ ] hot, gang. 27% left on this
battery, bro. I'm going to keep
preaching to you guys. I have like three
more cameras back there, bro. [sighs]
right. So,
you have to be real with yourself. You
have to understand that the life that
you're in is it could be your fault. It
couldn't be your fault. Maybe you was
born into it. Maybe you did something,
made a bad decision, and you got
yourself in a deeper hole. I understand.
You have to take that situation in for
what it is. Okay. Somebody text me
today. They was like, um, they're trying
to feed their kids, feeding six kids or
something like that. Feeding six people
in their family, trying to go to work,
barely sleeping, barely eating. Life is
beating them down. And that's already
another topic that I might get into
about the whole government thing.
They're squeezing you. But let me talk
about this first.
He under he should understand that his
circumstances is there. He has all this
stuff to worry about, right?
But if he's waking up every single day,
living another day,
then it is not killing him. Maybe he
might be stressed out. Maybe he might be
depressed. But those are things that you
can overcome.
Those are things that you can change.
Because think about it like this.
If he's going through all this and then
let's say one day
becomes he becomes like a a CEO or
something or profitable trader,
everything works out. He's able to pay
bills. He's able to help his family.
Will he be depressed? Will he still be sad?
Now, this goes back to what I was saying earlier.
earlier.
The world,
the reason why you say you're depressed,
the reason why you say you're not happy
is because the world took this piece of
paper, they took this digital thing, now
it's now digital. It's becoming more
digital than ever. They're taking these
numbers behind a screen and saying,
"Hey, if you don't have this, your life
sucks. If you don't have this piece of
Now,
take that theory, take that mindset
and just erase it. Like, literally get
it out of your mind. So, think about it
like this.
Am I happy with my life if there was no
such thing as money? Is my life okay if
I didn't have to worry about money? Is
my life okay right now if I didn't have
to worry about money? Some people will
say yes, some people will say no because
circumstances of like living in poverty
or living in the hood or living in, you
know, bad places or whatever, those
things will, you know, make you say no
to this answer.
But are you still breathing? Are you
still alive?
That's what you have to think about. Am
I still alive? Am I Am I still good? I'm
in good health, you know, and health is
on you, by the way. The health is on
you. That's something you can change.
Sometimes you might be born with certain
different things, but nine times out of
10, you can still live a healthy life,
right? You can still, you know, go to
the gym or work out, do some runs or
whatever the case might be. Health is on you.
you.
So, with all this being said, you are in
control of what you you can do with your
life. You're in control of everything.
So do not let somebody else tell you
because you don't have this or because
you don't have that that you are not
living a happy life. Don't let nobody
tell you that you need this to be happy.
Now when I say this too as well, this
doesn't mean stop chasing. This doesn't
mean stop trying to get this piece of
paper or this digital currency
because this is how the world revolves
around. sad enough.
But if you actually take your mind away
from thinking that this is what the
world revolves around, even though it
does, [snorts]
take your mind away from it and think
like, okay,
what can I do that can provide me with this?
this?
What skill can I learn that can provide
me with this? So then I would no longer
worry if I only get better at the skill.
So now your brain is completely taken
away from the money aspect. You're now
chasing the skill.
How do I get better at doing this? So
this will come.
This is where you become obsessed. This
is where you become hungry.
This is where you want to be a perfectionist.
perfectionist.
Focus on that skill. Skill, skill,
skill. precision.
Sharpen that blade so you can get ready
for war. Sharpen the blade. Now,
Now,
You will sometimes lose a war. You will
lose a battle. Let's say it this way.
You'll lose a battle, but that does not
mean that you lost the entire war. That
Stop feeling like just because you take
a loss in life, in trading, in business,
that is the end of the world. That is
only one battle. That is only one battle
that you have to face every day you wake
up in this life on this earth. I'm
pretty sure the percentage, if I'm not
mistaken, let's actually ask Chad GBT. Um,
What's the percentage that you will
survive on Earth if you go outside every
day on a day-to-day basis? Right. I'm
pretty sure there was like a like a
statistic about this like every time you
step foot out your door is another
chance in life that you're taking a
risk. Um, let me see what the percentage was.
was.
Survival odds per day. That's what it
is. Every time you step foot out your
door, every time you step foot out your
bed, sorry, I had something in my Every
time you step foot out your door. every
time you step foot out your bed is a
chance that you your your last day might
be that day,
right? You never know what God is going
to do to your life, which is why you
have to be grateful for what you have,
but you're also willing to elevate and
create and become a better person every
single day.
All right, so uh
uh
Oh, that's actually crazy. Maybe I was
It's 99.9. Okay, maybe I was wrong.
Maybe I was wrong. Um, but I'm pretty
sure I did see somewhere where it was
like every time you do step foot out
your door, your survival rate of living
that day, it starts to cut down every
single day. And I like to think of life
this way because then I don't want to
waste any time. I don't want to waste
any time. I want to make as much value
as possible to the world. I want to
share as much knowledge to the world as
possible. I want to keep pushing myself
to be a better person every single day.
No matter how hard life can be, no how
no matter how evil people can be towards
you, I just always wanted to focus on
like how can I be a better person every
single day? Because when I sat down with myself,
myself,
when I sat down with my brain, it was it
was more of like, dang, bro,
you've really been through some stuff in
But who am I to use that? Excuse me. Who
am I to
turn around and be like, "Dang, cuz the
world did me bad. I should do the world
bad. Who am I? What type of person would
I be to do something or see something
done in the world?
And because it's done in the world, I
feel like I should do the same too as
well in a bad way, right? With good
things. If you see somebody do good,
everybody should want to do the same
thing. Should do good. Just because you
went through abuse or went through being
homeless or went through, you know,
verbal abuse, bullying, social media
bullying, or you've been through uh
suicidal attempts, or you've been
through domestic domestic abuse, or
you've been through the hood where
gunshots are ringing every single day,
or like,
why would you want that on someone else
if you already experienced the pain? Why
would you want somebody else to go
through that pain too as well? And like
I said, my camera is on 4%. But
hey, man, I'm going to pull out another
camera, bro, cuz I really do wish the
best for everybody that watches my videos.
videos. And
I just really want to see you guys win,
bro. Like, I say this from the bottom of
my heart, bro. Like, I don't want
anything from you guys. I'm living a
comfortable life. I'm living a great
life. I live well beyond my well below
my means to make sure that I'm able to
provide for my family, go out and help
other people, travel around the world,
and I can buy anything that I want and I
can buy this car and I can buy this
house. I can do that. But what purpose
would that serve if I'm not giving value
to the earth? If I'm not giving value to
the world, if I'm not giving value to
God's people,
who would I be?
But man,
all in all, bro, this comes back to the
losses, bro. Don't don't beat yourself
up about this, bro. Some people beat
themselves up a lot, but this is nothing
to beat yourself out. Like, why would
you do that to yourself, bro? You're
going to live another day. You're going
to see another trade. You're going to
see another day.
Be grateful for the day that you have.
Okay, you took a loss this day. Okay, I
took a loss this day, but I'm still I'm
still living. I'm still breathing. I'mma
live another day. I'm going to see
another day so I can trade. I'm going to
see another day in my business so I can
make it better the next day. Try again
the next day. If that day don't works
out, I can try again the next day. You
know, like just be happy that you're
here, bro.
I'm going to switch to the other camera.
We're going to talk about some charts,
man. see where we at on the charts, bro.
I just wish you guys would feel me, man.
I I just wish you guys feel me, bro.
There's a lot of things in this world
that you really just got to like
you got to look at it twice, bro. Cuz
[ __ ] don't be adding up, bro. Things
don't be adding up. You really just got
to look at it like, dang. Like, wait a
minute, bro. Like
I I just wish you guys like understood,
bro. I think I don't even think I'm like
a philosopher or anything, but I
definitely will say like I've definitely
deattached myself from the earth. I
would definitely say I just like
I just I wouldn't even say stepped out
my body, but I definitely stepped out of like
like
the earthly body that I have and the
earthly world that we're in.
And I'm now more thinking from a
standpoint of just like I'm like I feel
like every day I wake up I feel like I'm
like a an angel or like a guidance or
I I wish you guys would understand how I
feel. Like I can see the world in like a
different way. I don't know, bro. I
don't know how to explain it, bro. I
don't know how to explain it. And I want
you guys to experience this feeling,
too. Because like once you actually take
a step away from the actual earth and
see everything and like align like you
would definitely think differently.
You would definitely think the way that
I do or not even the way that I do. You
would definitely look at the world differently.
differently.
I hope ICC Mafia like is willing to grow
together with me so I can so we can all
be on the same frequency and same wave
and same mindset so we can change the
world. Bro, cuz bro,
my camera died, bro. It's definitely
like life is definitely way more than
anything that we think of. And sometimes
you just need someone to kind of test
your your thinking a little bit. And I
want to be that person to challenge you
to open your mind and overall continue
to elevate as a human being because
once you start to open your mind, you're
easily like you can easily see through
things and make everything super simple.
Like I think that I make my own life
pretty simple. And I'm not saying I live
the best life or I'm not saying saying I
just like I'm just all knowing. But I
definitely will say that it's easier to
process anything in life once you actually
actually
take everything in perspective of like,
okay, life is not as hard as people make it.
it.
But let me try to make this simple for
myself if if you get what I'm saying.
But yeah, so we're going to break down
some charts for you guys or I'm going to
break down some charts for you guys
because I I do want to talk about um
overall Bitcoin, overall Salana, uh my
gold trade today. So, currently I'm in a
gold trade too as well. I don't know if
I told you guys earlier, but I'm in a
gold trade now. Uh floating
Oh, I'm still holding. So, I'm floating
right around I don't know if it's going
to pick that up, but floating right
around like $1.1 million. And
all in all, like I would definitely say
that once you start thinking of
everything from a simple standpoint of
things, like trading becomes easy to in
itself. But let's break down some charts
for you guys. Let's, you know, just
finish out this vlog. I'm kind of like
like I'm in a state of awe. Like all we
like I'm in a state of like dang bro
the world is like ah like just sit with
me. Hear me. Hear me out gang. This if
you're still watching this video that
means you're a true ICC mafia. Like
you're you're a real fan bro. If you're
watching this still bro maybe we we
should put all the deep talking and the
deep thoughts in the end of the videos.
kind of weed out the other guys. But if
you're still watching, um, yeah, bro,
life is like, like, look at this, bro.
This is what I'm thinking about right now.
now.
Look at all those people down there,
bro. Everybody's living a different
day-to-day life, bro.
No, no. Some people stressing, some
people going through life, some people
happy, some people depressed. Look at
that, bro.
All those people. And this is nothing
right here. This is like there's a few
200 300 400 people down there, right?
Look at look at way back there. Look at
over there. Millions of people. Look at
look at look at over here. And this is
No, this is not me trying to flex my
view either. But like look at all those
potential people. People in those
skyscrapers and buildings and offices
So when you actually think about it,
there's a lot of pain in this world.
There's a lot of happiness [snorts] in
this world. There's a lot of depression
Us as ICC mafia, bro. Like,
and I always say mafia because mafia is
like a family, bro. Even with like the
actual mafias and cartels and gang
members, they act more of a family than
human beings where we all share the same
characteristics and same features. We
treat each other like we're [ __ ]
aliens to each other. So if you're with
ICC Mafia, you're just bas I'm basically
when I say that, I'm basically saying
you're family, bro. We're all family.
we're all traders or even looking to
become traders and we're all family
because there's not a lot of people in
this world that want to come together
and put things together and help each
other out. So that is why, you know, we
we call this ICC mafia. It's not just to
be cool. It's because like we are
family. We're together at the end of the
day and we're going to stick by what's
right at the end of the day, bro.
Mafias, cartels, they all have codes.
Codes of conduct, right? Our code for
ourselves is like we're here to spread
the positivity and something that has so
much negativity in it. Trading has such
a negative outlook on it, but we're here
to make this a positive environment. So [snorts]
[snorts]
yeah, man. Like if you made it this far,
you're truly fam.
Comment comment family or something.
Yeah. Comment family, bro. ICC family.
ICC mafia, bro. But [sighs]
[sighs]
yeah, man. Let's break down these
charts, bro. This is crazy. I'm I'm
lowkey kind of sad, bro.
Well, I wouldn't say I'm sad, but I'm
I really just want to change the world
some way. Some way, somehow, bro. I'm
telling you, some way, bro. some way, somehow
somehow
we are going to change the world brick
by brick, country by country, state by
state. It's going to happen, bro. It's
It's going to happen. It's bound to
happen. It's destined to happen, bro.
Destined, bro. All right. So, a lot of
people are asking me about the gold
trade that I took today. So, my entries
came from right around this level here.
Um, I'll post it on the screen right
now, but my interest came from the break
of this level. First, we had an
indication under this level that price
can be bearish. Once again, the
indication does not have to be big. It
doesn't have to be, it could be small.
Any type of indication showing that some
type of reaction is going to be had from
under this level. So, from under this
level, we had a reaction from here to
here. So, that is my indication. Price
is showing me that once it breaks this
level of buyers, so break this level of buyers
buyers
from here, it will end up going down to 3,971.
3,971.
So price ended up fluctuating a little
bit between here, coming back to this
level, and then I ended up selling once
again under this level. Why did I sell
here? Honestly, I would say that just
because I seen price come back under
this level again or fail to break above
this level, I knew that sellers were
trying to push the market as much as
possible under this level. So, I felt
super confident with taking a trade
under this level. My trade came from
right around this level here. And then I
had my stop loss above this level here.
And the reason I put my stop-loss level
there is because if price was to break
above this high or just break above this
high in general, then it probably would
have built back up and tried to correct
or try to go for a buy later on. So
then, as you can see, London session
volume actually carried the rest of this
trade out and ended up causing price to
have a new low. I am still currently
holding this trade because price made
this new low. My positioning is up here.
Once again, this is where I'm talking
about positioning. my positions here. We
already made a new low. We can see that
price is correct. But the reason why I'm
so, you know, intrigued in holding this
trade for a bit longer is due to the
fact that this level here or even using
the body closes. This level was a
support level. So all in all, this ended
up becoming a level where buyers and
sellers were in control. So really not
too much to to have right there. You
know what I'm saying? So, not too much
to really go off of because we have
buyers here, sellers here. So, even
taking this trade here, me counting on
price to end up having that volume and
pushing was very risky. But in my head,
I'm thinking, hey, price is under this
level. It's already broken out of a
level where buyers were in control above
here. I feel more confident in taking
sales every time price is under here.
That's the thing with me. I I try not to
think too technical or think too much
about the trade. If price is under or
above a level where it showed previous
reactions, so if we already seen that
price sold from under this level, if it
does it again, I'm most likely going to
look to take that trade because I'm
going to just look for that reaction to
happen again because the chances and the
probability of it happening again are
very high because there's no more
buyers. So these buyers that were here
to push price up, this buyer here that
was here to push this and make this
wick, those guys got wiped out. So now I
know all buyers are wiped out. This
level here is my next level of buyers.
So if price is here selling, the next
level it's going to go to is this next
level of buyers. So if I'm selling from
price from here, so price sold from here
to here. Again, if I'm selling, I'm
looking for price to go from here to
here. Once again, looking for the same
thing. So with this, we have a new low.
new low in the market indicates that
under this level price is looking to
sell down to this level. Right? So we
have price from this level all the way
down to this level. So now price is
sitting at that level. After a
correction, normally I know that
corrections give a little pullback. Once
they give a little pullback, they end up
falling back down
and creating a new low. Let me make sure
that yeah this should be good. Okay. So
normally when price makes this new low
price has this correction correction can
normally come back above that level but
back under this level I know price will
be bearish again. So I'm looking for
price to go bearish again and then later
on creating a new lower low. And now I
have this target which is coming from
this 4hour time frame. I'm having this
target here due to the fact that this is
a level that I seen buyers have price
come and push up from this level. This
level here too as well push up from this
level. But that level has already gotten
taken out. So as you can see here, let
me turn this back black. That level has
already gotten taken out. Price has
already made a new indication above
below that level and now we have a
correction. So next we'll be looking for
a continuation back down which will then
cause us a new lower low. So with that
being said, that is why I sold gold
today. Um BTC I still think BTC is
bearish. If we look at this daily time frame,
frame,
um this is a level. So 107 is a strong
level of buyers. As we can see here,
buyers pushed up the market here. Buyers
pushed up the market here and buyers
pushed up the market here as well along
with this. So there's a strong level of
buyers at 107. But the structure has is
still not making sense to me because we
hit all-time highs, sold off to 107,
pushed back up to 115, and rejected 115
to make a new low um to make a new break
at 103 for Bitcoin. So now we push back
up to this 115 level, rejection again.
Um after a couple days of consolidating
and sitting in one spot, price ended up
pushing up. I ended up getting stopped
out because I wasn't using this lower
high as my stop loss. I used whatever
this was at first. Um
so I do think BTC has potential to go
down. Um definitely looking at every
other pair or every other um crypto as
well and just seeing like okay the
structure looks bearish like this looks
bearish. This doesn't look like price is
wanting to go up. Look at the difference
between this when price is going up
compared to what's going now. We have
lower high, lower high, lower high,
lower high being created. This level
here was a bunch of consolidation after
running out of steam. Even when we go
look at this, it just looks like price
ran out of all steam that it had when it
sold off. Look at this. It ran out of
all steam. So, right now, I think price
is trying to get itself together,
collect itself together, but I will be
selling crypto once again. um because I
definitely do believe that crypto is
going to take that dive and I'm just
overall looking at the analysis or
technical analysis of it and I'm seeing
what I'm seeing on the charts and I'm
trusting in that higher time frame to
play a role later on and we'll see how
that goes. But pretty much it for the
trades that I have open. Um
yeah, and I I continue to look at these.
I didn't think I was going to trade
gold, but it kind of presented that
opportunity, so I was willing to take it
for just looking at the reactions of it.
Wasn't ICC, but we definitely had the indications
indications
um that price under this level was going
to give us some selling pressure. So I
