The Most Life-Changing 20 Minutes from ICT

you in a unfavorable state of mind and make it work it doesn't work you'll [ __ ] it all up you're going to be the Cog and the wheel that needs to be replaced everything else is ready to go everything else is stated the art but you're coming in there like an analog in something digital and it doesn't plug in so you have to upgrade you have to allow yourself to get the hell out of the way refine yourself remove all emotion remove all psychological influence over what you're trying to make or what you're afraid

of losing and only focus on what price should be doing based on your model and submit to that and that is how you hold on to winning trades and not get oh I got out too soon I should have did this I should that because you don't know what you're doing you don't know your model and you're too emotional you care too much about the open profits becoming less I was up I was up $3,000 on that trade and it came back and and I just couldn't hold anymore I got to get out at 1,800

and then it went 9,000 if I just would have H if I just would have held on to it how do you fix that I just talked about it you have to know your model what did you get into the trade for has it then changed did something underlyingly change in the market in that trade setup that causes you to abort it if it if that has not happened why the [ __ ] are you closing it why are you closing it how did I teach you how to navigate that you're trying to learn how

to be profitable you want to learn how to make money okay great are you feeling that the the tug of-war inside you feeling I got to get out I got to get out take something off but I can't I only have one I I have only one account uh one contractor on ICT then close it and be content with the idea that you're closing it and you're going to monitor the rest of the way and you're going to stay with it live you're not going to look at it later on you're going to look at

it live and you're going to condition yourself just like that and over time you'll hold it a little bit more you'll hold it a little bit longer in that uncomfortable point just like repetitions with weights just add another small plate just add another repetition just fite it going down into negatives your growth and muscle growth is not in the actual curing curling up with the bicep in dumbbell curls or barbell curls it's the slow control descent it's the resistance of seeing things go back to normal see you want to run away and go back to

normal working the [ __ ] 9o5 with Carl see that's normal for you you want your mind says go back to that go back to that but you got to resist that [ __ ] and when you do resist it you're [ __ ] going to grow and it's going to come with growing pain and don't think it's something that shouldn't be happening it's normal expect it desire it want it because it's progress everybody else is going to be [ __ ] slapping themselves and saying I got to quit I got to get out of

this too hard this guy talks too much get the [ __ ] out of here go down the Romer room [ __ ] mentorship they'll teach all kinds of nonsense but you have stepped into an area here where I'm not going to sugar [ __ ] for you I'm going to tell you exactly what it's going to be like I've already warned you ahead of time it's hard it's going to [ __ ] feel like you want to quit but you stick your [ __ ] heels in and you dig them in and you just

say bring it [ __ ] I'm not going anywhere and experience will carry you wherever you want to go but if you come in half ass uh you know let's just see if it works if it if that's the mindset if that's the mindset you come in with you're the very person that's going to quit at the easiest time where just a little bit of adversity comes in oh this is fake really look around folks look around it's undeniable it [ __ ] works works real good it's real profitable it makes real money not just

in my hands a lot of other people out there in different walks of life different countries it's just something that you you can't use as a crutch to say I can't do it or it doesn't work because that whole that whole excuse now has been removed and it takes a lot of discipline it takes a lot of discipline to stick to this because the outcome is emotional if you make money that's an emotional feeling if you're not used to making $1,000 in one day if you're not used to making $10,000 in a week if you're

not used to making 50 Grand inside of four weeks if you're not used to making $200,000 in 6 weeks I can imagine it would be very emotional for you and when you lose $1 that's $1 that you just bought more doubt with but $1 spent in doubt has a whole [ __ ] lot more influence than making $1,000 when it's right you'll spend more time caring about the fact that you lost that $1 than making the $1,000 in real money don't believe me wait till it happens for you nobody blows their account when they make

$1,000 when they have a model says they're done they it's impossible for them to blow their account but everybody that's trying to do something that they don't know very well they go in they anticipate the setup before it's really there and they get in before it should really be executed and they think that I'm I do this and now you care more about the improper execution and you lost sight of where price should be going and how it should behave and you close the trade because you can't handle the pressure and you lose a little

bit that's that $1 spent purchasing down and now what is it going to do that little bitty loss that little [ __ ] paper cut that little prick on the thorn of that rose that you wanted to carry home drew some blood man this pisses me off I got to fix this let me get in here and do this and just got to get it back real quick and then do something something something stupid something something so trivial is that that's exactly what blows your [ __ ] account because it starts this whole Chain Reaction

you got to fix something that was not in a position that need to be fixed nothing's broken you just did something incorrectly stop reassess everything wait how long is it going to take for you to be profitable how long is it going to take for you to make money trading I don't know how long it's it going to take for you to fix that [ __ ] some of you right now might be smiling and shaking your head thinking yep he just [ __ ] Peg me right there and the ones that aren't going to

be surviving in this are the ones that are cringing and saying talked about something else talk about something else cuz I've this landed right on your ass and you don't see it as a problem you think that you'll figure it out doing that same [ __ ] well here's what you're going to figure out you're going to figure out that you did it wrong you're going to figure out that you're undisciplined you're unteachable and you're stubborn and you're going to be [ __ ] struggling Forever Until you fix that it can be corrected but you

have to stop thinking like that if a loss comes accept it okay is there something for me to trade right now if there is I have to trade with less leverage done simple how hard is that two losing trades in one session stops you what's a session whatever it is if it's in the same 24-hour period from Midnight New York to the close at 5:00 pm the next day in New York that's your full thing if you have two losing trades in that period you do not you [ __ ] cannot you are not given

permission to take another [ __ ] trade until midnight comes again pray tell how the [ __ ] are you going to blow your account how you GNA do that you think about this stuff every single time you failed your combine or you lost your funded account or you blew your account you think about it all the time after it happens you think I could have I could have been there if I just would have did this if I just would have stopped you're [ __ ] right so how long is it going to take

for you to make money trading how long's it going to take for you to learn how to be consistently profitable how long's it going to take for you to learn that lesson how many times have I taught it how many times have I talked about how many times have I bitched and and preached on it and still students get on Twitter and complain to me yeah I just blew my account today all of the trades that blew the account that day that should never happen that should that should never happen so what's the problem here

Reckless abandonment absolutely zero money management zero zilch it's [ __ ] not present so what's the problem with that person they're impulsive they're Reckless they're undisciplined and they have no appreciation for risk and they have no risk model so you can have a trade model but what's your risk model how do you assess risk how do you manage risk how do you navigate a trade when you move your stop loss how do you manage open profits if you feel the tug of war inside I've been I've been teaching all that stuff folks but it goes

in one ear out the other for some of you and when you send tweets to me tell me yeah I blew my account today I I I lost control myself and I did stupid stuff right so yes that happened I agree you you you you messed it up but that's not your career you got fired from your job as a Trader with that account you you're never going to get another job if you lost your job right now whatever the [ __ ] it is that you're doing whatever that job is that you can't stand

doing anyway but you need it to eat if you lost your job you're gonna say [ __ ] it I'm not gonna get another one I'm not getting another job [ __ ] that [ __ ] I might lose that one too I'm not going to do that no of course not an [ __ ] thinks like that you're going to go out immediately putting resumes out there trying to find another job you what are you doing you're submitting to the process do you know that you're going to have a [ __ ] job at

the end of the month no but you're sticking to it aren't you why because you [ __ ] have to do it that way because that's the process to because they don't come knocking on your door hey hey Brian hey man you there listen buddy listen I I heard the bad news you just got [ __ ] canned it's it's a sad it's a sad situation but I'm here to bring you good news I'm here to give you another job you ready that's not how it works but that's exactly the mindset you think that trading

should be like everybody owes you something everybody's gonna bend their [ __ ] ass over and say here give it to us come on man park it up here no that's not how this works it's war and you will lose and you will bleed and you will feel regret and you'll have all those things they have to wrestle with but when you go into this with a proper mindset that you've conditioned yourself to be a [ __ ] homicidal psychopath we have zero emotion you're in a to take from everybody give nothing but even the

best gun even John Wick himself gets hit by cars more times than it's realistic but still nonetheless great cinematic entertainment but you're going to get hurt sometimes what's the process you have to stick to it you got to stick to it you got to be able to see the end result if you can't see it you won't stick with it and everything is temporary every little difficulty every little thing that you think is a big mountain in your path right now it's not it's not it's just time that you have to continuously do these things

then you'll see oh yeah I I I can see these things forming before they happen I'm I'm seeing it happen in the chart it's real time I'm watching it's going to be there and then boom it does exactly what I was just expecting to do there's stages in this engagement that you have to submit to and each one has its own unique little characteristics that's going to make you feel much more empowered than you really are at that time and overconfident and that overconfidence is what rushes people into I'm ready to do a funded account

combine and pass it I'm I'm ready to get a funded account I'm ready to put real money into an account and trade it when you're not that's all I'm doing when I say it's going to take you two years to get really good at this get good at it meaning you can't be influenced you know what you're looking for you know exactly what you're looking for you know how you're going to engage it you're not going to be upset about if you have a losing trade you're going to maybe try one more but with less

risk on and if you take if you take a loss there you're stopping and you're going to go and do whatever you want to do the rest of the day and you're not going to feel bad about you're not going to regret it you're not going to beat yourself up about it but you lose one little opportunity whether you take the trade or if you missed it you're beating yourself up you're bitching about on social media you're arguing with your spouse you're kicking your dog you come to work with an attitude because you got to

look at Carl's [ __ ] mug and you're sitting there thinking if I just would have had a real account and did that trade that I was too afraid to even do with a demo account what are you doing you're feeding yourself toxic horseshit that's what you're doing everything I tell you not to do and these long-winded [ __ ] die tribes I'm telling you don't do those things and who's doing it you Buster and bitching about why you can't figure it out I did all this stuff folks I did all these things to myself

and I i' literally caused the longest learning curve that could have been one quarter of the time emotions they're real the psychological effects on this stuff it's real I didn't hide it from you I talk about all the time and Mr Douglas in his book isn't going to scratch the surface of what you're really going to [ __ ] feel and what you're going to want to do and how it's going to cause you to be Reckless who cares if I blow this account I'll just pay the 50 bucks for a reset well try that

with a live account try that with a real $50,000 account try that with a real 100 or $150,000 account doesn't work like that folks you have to trade it like it's just like that if you don't just wait around you're submitting to a process and the outcome is you you'll blow it it's just a matter of [Music] time or you could be one of the AP pupils here and listen to good advice Sound Logic that works that comes with real profits behind it with receipts and not just my own other people from different walks of

life that finally submit to it and every time if you ask them or hear them in an interview they always say what they were doing in the beginning that was many times what I've told all of you not to do and they spend more time doing the things they shouldn't be doing and less time doing the things I told them to do and they're paying for doubt there's dollar losses there small little insignificant losses that you care more about because it's a little Little Nick little paper cut your mind's not ready to be a Trader

if you worry about that kind of stuff you'll never have the the wherewithal to be in a trade know your offside kill it regardless if you're in profit or loss and reverse the other way that will never happen for you if you're listening if you care about every single losing trade if you care about it and you lose sleep over it and you beat yourself up out there's no [ __ ] way you're going to be able to trade like that but you want to like me you're skipping over all kinds of things that need

to be learned thinking that you're going to be the exception you are not the exception and you need to be reminded today that it's normal for you to learn just like this it's optimal for you to learn just like this there's no better place for your Learning and Development than how I'm putting you through it this is exactly the best to the best this is it this is Top Gun level [ __ ] [ __ ] when you're done with me you're a [ __ ] ace fighter jet player you're you're in there you're able

to do it and every process will be ingrained in you you're not going to stop and think what do I should do you're just going to do it you've been trained to do it this is what you're supposed to be thinking this is what you're not focusing on you don't look at the [ __ ] profit and loss on your [ __ ] screen when you're trading that should not be on your [ __ ] account that should not be on your [ __ ] screen you should not be watching that if you're watching that

you're watching the fluctuations of profit and loss and you're feeling oh oh this is really good if it could just go to 2,000 come on come on come on go to 2000 if you're [ __ ] looking at that you're not watching the [ __ ] candles form you're not watching delivery of price you're watching the ticker of the up and down profit loss that's it that's all you're watching and you don't make money looking at that the only thing that does is causes you to be emotional and have the influence of psychological of that

number changing up or down against you take it off your [ __ ] chart trade your trade without that [ __ ] there then when you're done guess what that number is going to reflect what you did trust me it's going to show you what the [ __ ] you did if you did everything right well well done and if you didn't do it right it's going to be there and it's still not good for you to have it on your chart while you're in a trade now I do that sh [ __ ] because

people want to see it they like that but when you watch the video and you're just looking at that and you didn't watch the price delivery of the candles sticks as I'm watching the chart and I'm managing my stop off you're not doing that you wasted your [ __ ] time who gives a [ __ ] what song I played you wasted your time watching that there's a right way to do this and I'm teaching you in the long winded discussions how not to waste your [ __ ] time and you can't say I'm doing

it for for ad Revenue because I'm doing it here demonetized and I'm letting dozens of people out there take it and put on their own [ __ ] YouTube channel and monetize it how much better do I have to make it plainer that I want to see you succeed I'm not making any [ __ ] money off of me talking to you none not one [ __ ] penny you're not going to see anybody else out here doing that they're too busy trying to [ __ ] Hawk their [ __ ] they need their money

they need that [ __ ] I don't need it
