How I Lost -$435,000 In ONE DAY | Day In The Life Of A Millionaire Stock Trader VLOG | Live Trading
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video documents a dramatic trading session where the host, an experienced stock trader with 11 years of experience, recounts recovering from a devastating loss of $435,000 in a single day back in April 2023. That catastrophic event left him depressed for months and forced him to fundamentally change his approach by stopping reckless attempts to immediately make up the lost money. Instead of chasing losses with aggressive sizing, he adopted a disciplined strategy focused on patience and confirmation, aiming for steady daily gains rather than trying to force a specific profit target. This shift in mindset allowed him to turn things around, eventually recording a successful day where he profited approximately $6,200 despite the earlier trauma, proving that controlling winners is far more important than worrying about occasional losses.
During the live trading session, the host demonstrates his current methodology by focusing on specific stocks like TRNR and ACON while strictly adhering to percentage-based sizing rather than fixed share counts. He emphasizes the importance of waiting for market confirmation, such as a "death candle" or a break below key support levels like VWAP, before entering or adding to positions. For instance, he initially takes a small starter position in TRNR but only increases his exposure once the stock fails to reclaim resistance levels and shows clear weakness. Conversely, he avoids chasing stocks that appear to be manipulated upward by insiders, recognizing that aggressive bounces without fundamental support often lead to traps. He also manages his risk by reducing positions on stocks like BTI when money flow shifts away from them, ensuring he does not blindly add to losers just to fix his average cost.
The session concludes with the host successfully exiting most of his positions before the market closes, locking in profits and avoiding further drawdowns as the market turns volatile near "zombie times." He reflects on the necessity of learning from past mistakes, noting that blowing up accounts is an inevitable part of a trader's journey that must be overcome to achieve long-term success. By sticking to his rules and refusing to trade recklessly after a bad day, he protects his capital and maintains emotional stability. Ultimately, the video serves as a testament to the power of discipline, showing how a trader can recover from a massive financial setback by prioritizing process over outcome and accepting that not every day will be a winner, but consistency in execution is what builds lasting wealth.

minus
$435,000. Depressed for months. That was
bad. What did you do to come out of it?
So, my biggest problem is like I wanted
to make it back the next day. And I came
back the next day and I made like 100
grand. And then I wanted to keep making
it back as fast as possible. Then the
next day I made 70 grand. I'm like, "Oh
I made 170 grand. I just need what
230 left or whatever the math checks out
to." And then the day after that I lost
100. And I was like, "Oh, wait a second.
Wait a second. Wait a second. Now I'm
trading recklessly." I think that entire
move from like 320 to 395 was all just
like some sort of BS manipulation to try
to get the stock price up. What aing
idiot, dude. Of course, the Steven and
Alex indicator together. That's it,
guys. I'm all
[Music]
out. Main thing that I think that kind
of confused people is let's say I'm in
25,000 shares. That might be your entire
account leveraged a 100 times and then I
add up to 200,000 shares and you're like
what the is going on here. So the whole
point guys is all about the percentage
of sizing cuz the percentage of sizing
is duplicatable whereas the share size
is not. So coming into this morning guys
I see Acon as being the potential hot
stock. I see
TRNR potentially on a 350 fail and
that's pretty much it. So waiting for
more information on everything. TRNR. If
we do bounce to 350, I will try to take
a starter. Gonna take it a little bit
slow at the market open just to kind of
see what the action is showing us and
then we will take it from there. You
know, we might see that, you know, Acon
just goes straight down and TRNR just
goes straight up in which case we would
adjust. But until we kind of see what is
actually happening, we're just going to
wait. Let the market show us. So, right
now, Acon is definitely getting the most
action. definitely getting a big push.
So, assuming that Acon will continue to
take that action and continue to take
that money flow, uh I'm going to start
looking at this TRNR, but not looking at
chase weakness. So, let it confirm and
then we'll take it from there. So, we
got 10 seconds until the market opens
and we'll get started. Acon is bouncing.
So, that's definitely getting some
attention. A little bit of a fail there
on
Acon. BTCT a little bit weak. So, Acon,
no position, no interest. Just waiting
for TN to bounce. So far, no trades.
Ideally, I want to see TRNR bounce to
350 and fail. A little bit of a bounce
there on TRNR. So, watching that AON
bouncing once again. Not interested in
this Acon as it's the hot stock so far.
TRNR bouncing. Going to need a little
bit more of a bounce here on this TRNR.
Acon little bit of a rejection, but I
think on Acon, it's a lot safer to wait
until $7 breaks and then shorting a
bounce. So, I'm going to let Acon trade
out and then if it breaks $7, then I'll
be looking to short a bounce. TRNR
bouncing. Let's see if we get that 350.
So, Acon, now we're seeing a fail, guys.
So, now I will look to short that bounce
on Acon if I get it. So, Acon any bounce
I get 720s. I'll look to short it. It's
about to halt down. Okay, Acon halting
down, guys. So, we have confirmed
weakness on Acon. So, if we get a bounce
on this Acon, now we have a trade
setting up, guys. So you see how we're
waiting for it to confirm and then we're
going to short a bounce. So as this
stock halts down, let's wait for a
bounce to trigger on it. And once the
bounce triggers on it, then we will be
interested in shorting. So we're
waiting, we're waiting, waiting, waiting
for it to give us the signal. What is
the signal? It's a death candle. So with
that being said, now look at TRNR
bouncing. So we might actually get that
entry on
TRNR. So let's watch and see if I could
get that 350 on TRNR. TR RNR watching
for a bounce maybe to get a small
starter. So took a small starter there
324 very very small 324 just very very
tiny. This is about a 5% position. I'm
not sure yet right because it's not
really bouncing to my ideal 350 line. So
I'm just kind of taking like a little
bit of a feeler to see how the stock is
trading out. That Acon though you see
from 8 to 6 guys. So, if we could get
any type of bounce on this Acon when it
unhalts in 3 minutes, that should be
pretty safe is what my thought process
is. So, that's kind of where my my head
is at. So, all in all, guys, just
waiting for this Acon to open up and
then ideally shorting a bounce and then
TRNR just sticking to my starter at 324
and then depending on what type of
action I see, I will either add or take
my scalp. What's kind of hesitating me
from adding a little bit more TRNR is
the fact that there's not really
something new that has money flow. Do
you guys see anything else that has
money flow this morning? Oh wow, BTAI is
halting up. Good call. So that's a
Bitcoin stock. So that's good news. So I
added a little bit of TRNR here. Seeing
that money flow on BTI. So I'm in about
10% of my size, which is still very,
very small. Ideally, I'm looking to see
this low of the day of 304 break. So
what's the low of the day? Three. Okay,
we just broke the low of the day here,
guys, on TRNR. There we go. So, 297. I
reduced a little bit of my position down
to 5% size again. So, this may not be
the biggest trade in the world, guys,
but I turned a nice starter position
trade into a 10% trade. So, I covered
half into that 297 dip and now I'm kind
of on autopilot. So, I could
essentially, if I really wanted, I could
set a stop at break even and just kind
of be done with this. But, this is not a
size trade for me. Why is it not a size
trade? is not a size trade because I'm
not it's not at my ideal resistance
level. It didn't exactly hit 350 right
there. There's sure there's BTI that has
a little bit of money flow today, but
like it's not anything that's like okay,
Acon is open. Let's see if we get a
bounce on this
AON. 680 I think would be a nice bounce.
So watching. So I'm watching a 680
bounce which is kind of VWAP on Acon.
Port is broken at 650. So, let's see.
680ish is kind of where I'm looking for
my entry. So, it it had a death candle
and I'm looking to short that bounce,
but I need that bounce. If that bounce
does not come, then that's a totally
different story, right? The worst thing
you could do, guys, is chase it down
here at 620 and then it goes to 680 and
you blow yourself up, right? It's better
to miss it if it's not going to be
ideal. That's kind of what I tell myself
to help with the FOMO. BTI definitely
taking the action now, which is really
good. What's the float there?
BTI float is 3 million. So low float.
Acon unless this bounces to 680, guys.
I'm not really going to be interested.
BTI is halting up. It's trying to halt
up. So I would assume that TRNR is going
to now start to act weak, but I only
have 5% of my position left. So let's
see if I could get at least maybe a
bounce on this. TRNR motherucker. This
AON, bro. What a piece of You do not
want to be shorting the extreme
weakness. It's down from $8 to $6. It
will bounce. Uh trnr now
bouncing. So like I said, I only have 5%
of my position. Depending on how this
bounces and how this trades, I will uh
either add or just stick to the regular
core position. Remember what I said in
past live trading sessions where you
want to only place a trade. Here we go.
TRNR. Nice bounce. So watching that 350
line this round. So watching that 350.
So, very good job covering under $3
there. Now, this will allow me to short
that 350 bounce. So, let's watch and
see. I'm going to let it trade out a
little bit, this TRNR, but it does look
like a fail to me. Don't want to add
yet. It's a good bounce to
340s. Just let it trade out a little
bit. Waiting to see if 350 rejects. As
we get closer to my lines, I could start
to get more aggressive if I do see that
the stock is failing.
It is kind of looking weak though, but
I'm just kind of waiting. It's looking
weak, man. I think it would make sense
to just take a little bit more of an ad.
So, let me watch and see. What's making
it look weak is it broke the high of the
day, but it's not really able to push
much higher, right? It broke over 335,
but it's kind of like just consolidating
here. So, just watching. I took a little
bit of an ad there at 340. Just small.
This kind of brings me back to 10% size.
So, I'm back to 10% of my size on TRNR.
And now it looks like it's failing
again. So, notice guys, I'm not in 50%
of my size. I'm not in 80% of my size.
I'm in a very modest 10% of my size
until I'm proven right. So, the way that
I will get proven right here is if we
push towards 350 and fail, which is kind
of what we're getting. Under 330 would
probably be an ad spot. Added a little
bit more here.
TRNR to about 15% of my size. going to
probably hold off on adding any more
until I see a very sharp fail or I see a
VWAP breakdown. So, I'm in 15% of my
size. Acon, this is why you don't short
the extreme weakness because it's going
to get a nice bounce. So, Acon 670 680.
I'll look for a bounce to short. Uh TRNR
VWAP is 325. So, if we could break under
325, I will then go to 30% of my size.
I'm in 15% and if we break under that
VWAP, I'll double up. But just waiting
for more confirmations. Acon, I'm kind
of considering taking maybe a starter
into this bounce just to kind of get a
little bit of a piece. So I took a small
starter there 632 on Acon just into that
bounce. TRNR still has not broken that
325 line, guys. So because it has not
broken that 325 line, I'm not adding AON
pretty much in one second. Oh, big fail
there. TRNR added TRNR 320. Add a TRNR
320 on that 325 fail. Acon pretty much
instantaneously was right. So, I'm just
going to take off uh Acon to focus on
TRNR. So, instantaneously in about what
was that? Uh about 20 seconds, we made
some money there on Acon, but now I want
to really focus on this TRNR cuz we're
seeing a break of that VWAP. Yeah. So,
notice on TRNR, we broke the 325 VWAP.
So, that's where I added on TRNR, the
325 VWAP.
So basically, I want to see this thing
break under three because if this thing
breaks under three, then it's going to
confirm all the weakness. Acon probably
going to do the Alex indicator here. So
I had a pretty picture perfect entry at
630. Literally as perfect as it gets,
but I wanted to cover out of it to focus
on this TRNR. Uh BTI hopefully continues
to squeeze up. And if BTI continues to
squeeze up, we should get money flow to
exit this TRNR. But if you notice on
TRNR, we couldn't even test 350, guys.
The highest we got up to was 345. So, we
couldn't even test 350. So, that's a
very, very weak signal for this stock.
You know, we saw 350 being the
resistance from earlier, right? 350 was
a resistance here. It could not even
test that. If this TRNR would reclaim
the high of the day, I would reduce the
ad and get back to a core position. So,
I'll be watching to see if TRNR reclaims
the high of the day. If it does, I'll
reduce. If not, I'll just stick to it.
So, a little bit strong on TRNR. So, I
think I'm going to reduce this TRNR's
ad. So, I reduced a little bit of TRNR
because it's reclaiming here. I'll try
again if it fails. So, it's reclaiming
that death candle, which I don't like to
see. So, I just reduced there. BTI if
460 fails. So, I'm going to move BTI
here.
This might be a rejection here. So,
watching this BTI, I see 460 as a
support. So, if we break 460, I might
take a starter there. If TRNR rebreaks
that VWAP, I have no problem getting
back in. Acon very, very weak. So, good
call on that Acon to short that bounce,
but did not have enough patience on it.
So, give it a second here. BTI might end
up losing the money flow. So, watching
BTI for some entries. That's a fail on
TRNR. So, I added on that fail of TRNR.
So, TRNR is going to need to break that
VWAP to confirm, but I got a nice ad
there because 350 pushed and did not
reclaim aggressively. So, we might just
see this end up failing. Also, BTI
watching as
well. No, but TRNR got some more flow.
So, I'm trying to decide, is the money
flow going to stay in BTI or is it going
to go to TRNR? That's what I'm trying to
figure out here.
So, watching BTI, maybe a 480 break. I
could take a starter. So, took a small
starter on BTI
here. Looks like it's breaking down. 460
would be an ad for me. So, I see support
here at 466. So, that's kind of what I'm
watching here for an ad. May not come.
The thing about TRNR to me is if it's
breaking out, it should be breaking out
more aggressively, which has me thinking
there's some selling going on into this
bounce. Now, that's just an assumption.
We would need to see like some sort of
candle to confirm that, but I would
assume that this was should have been
bouncing more aggressively. And the fact
that it's not bouncing may not be good
news for anyone that's in it. So, let's
see. So watching BTI here for a
continued fail under 460 for an ad. And
for TRNR, a break under VWAP for an ad.
So if we break under 330 on TRNR, that's
going to be an ad. And if we break under
360 on BTI, that's going to be an ad. So
it took a little bit of an ad there on
BTI. Might have been a little bit
premature, but overall under 460 will
confirm this. Like you would assume that
it would just push up. Here we go on
BTI. So, I'm getting a little bit of a
fail there on BTI under that 460 mark.
So, I took another ad there.
460 on BTI. TRNR is still waiting to see
if 330 fails or not. So, 440 line
reduced a little bit of BTI just to lock
in some
profits. TRNR, I'm still in this thing,
but I'm just a little bit confused, I
guess, as to why it's just slowly going
up. I mean, I would have assumed it
would be more aggressive. So, I'm just
thinking that maybe there's some sort of
selling going on. So, I'm just kind of
waiting to see what it's going to do.
Okay, now it's pushing again. Just want
to give it a second here. I'm giving it
a second to trade out to see if it
pushes or fails. If it just continues
here, I'm just going to reduce it and
move on. It almost feels like they're
selling into the bounces, man. That's
what it feels like to me. But until I
see some sort of confirmation candle,
like I need to see the candle confirm
what I'm thinking. And now the thing is
guys, I don't want to just add to fix my
average. I want to add when I see a
confirmation. So I would rather just not
blindly add because blindly adding is
not going to get us anywhere. We need to
see some sort of kill candle, death
candle, rejection candle, some sort of
something. BTI, nice continued fail.
Nice continued fail on BTI.
438. I reduced a little bit more. Yeah,
I'm still in here. I just I'm giving it
a second, man. I might be and I might
regret it, too. I might regret that I'm
being a little bit too patient with it,
but it kind of doesn't feel like a real
organic move. It feels like almost like
they're manipulating it
higher. And what I'm waiting for to see
is I'm waiting to see that death candle
tell me that, okay, you're right. So,
what I would need to see is this 370
support fail. Watching added a little
bit of TRNR here at 376. 370 is
obviously that key area. So, we need to
see this bounce fail and break under
370. And then if that happens, we might
finally start to see some uh
acceleration to the downside. And I
think that we should start to be on the
back side of the move here. So, I'm
going to add more uh TRNR here, guys.
So, I added more at 65. So, this looks
like it tried to push and failed. So,
now that it's breaking some support
areas, I'm adding BTI kind of
reclaiming. So, I'm going to be looking
to just reduce whatever last piece I
have of BTI on a dip. TRNR. Very, very
nice, guys. You see that? You see that
on TRNR when it starts to break those
key areas. You see what's
happening? So, very, very good fails now
on TRNR. Now, BTI is taking back the
money flow. So BTAI is definitely taking
back the money flow. So I definitely
want to be done with BTI on the next dip
that I see because the money flow is
switching 340 break. So you see that
guys, we're not adding just based on
fixing our average. Adding based on
fixing your average is the stupidest
thing you could do. But once we get
these key areas to break, that is when
you're supposed to be adding. And that's
what I'm doing. So notice the
difference, guys. Notice the difference
here is adding when the key areas are
breaking, not just because I'm fixing my
average. You understand? So now we're
under VWAP. If we could stay under 340,
this is going down. And the problem is
that now BTI is getting a little bit of
money flow. So I'm definitely looking to
reduce my BTI
uh so that I could focus on TRNR because
BTI is getting the money flow. I did
have some good covers on the dip,
but just waiting to see if we can get
this TRNR to break under 340. I think
it's going to have a very, very
difficult time trying to rebound because
this entire move up felt like it was
fake. It almost felt like a manipulated
move higher for whatever insiders or
whatever pumpers or whatever it was to
try to get out of their position. So, I
have open orders on the dips of BTI to
reduce. So just in case BTI flushes
down, I have open orders.
TRNR so far failing. So BTI is kind of
looking like a break even trade or like
a small losing trade depending on where
it's at. But it doesn't really matter as
long as this TRNR works out the way that
we expect it to work out. 466. So if
this thing breaks rebreaks 466, then
it's back in play for the downside.
TRNR. Let's get this break under 340,
guys. Let's see if we're going to get
it. Come on. 340.
It's a very good call to reduce that
BTI. Covered some TRNR here into the
dips 28 and 30, but covering some into
the dips here. Next support I see is 24.
Pretty big move
BTI. So, this should take the money flow
away from
uh
TRNR. This is getting pretty extended
though. BTI. So, let me see. TRNR
bouncing as well. So, I'm going to be
readding this bounce on TRNR from what I
covered in the 30s. So, I got my ad at
342 on TRNR and BTI. A little bit of a
fail. I'm still sitting at the dips on
BTI to cover out. Uh thankfully, I
didn't have much position left, but it
definitely is looking like a little bit
of a fail here. So, trying to consider
if I want to just add a little bit or
just wait it out. Yeah, my order is at
511 to just cover out. So, if it gets to
511, I'll cover out. But if we, you
know, bounce and fail, I could try to
get maybe a little bit of an ad or
something. But mostly watching this
TRNR. So good fail again. 340s TRNR. So
I think we're starting to see a little
bit of backside forming on this stock.
TRNR, another 340 fail. I think that
entire move from like 320 to 395 was all
just like some sort of BS manipulation
to try to get the stock price
up so that they could sell into it.
covered a little bit of BTI there,
511 for a loss. Remember guys, the key
area on BTI is 460. So, if this somehow
some way finds a way back under 460,
then it's going to be pretty broken. But
that's kind of what I was playing. TRNR
big fail. Covered out some more. Covered
out some here at
323. Fantastic trade here, guys.
Fantastic trade here so far. Let's see
if we get even lower. Below of that
candle was 18. Wow, it hit 18. You got
any covers out there, Steve? 21 covered
more. TR RNR. Here we
go. Come on, baby. 17 covered
more. Come on, baby.
This thing's weak. 17 covered
more. I'm down to small size now on this
TRNR. Very nice trade. 16. Waiting for
more. So, so far so good,
baby. Look at the clock. We got 10
minutes till zombie times, guys. We got
10 minutes till zombie
times. So, I'm out of about 90% of my
position on this dip. Come on, baby.
TRNR, give us a little bit lower, guys.
So, you you see kind of what I was
mentioning here on this rebound on TRNR.
It didn't feel real. The point is that
they were not aggressively bouncing it.
It was almost like they were It felt
fake. It felt fake. That's why I was
willing to give it a little bit more
time. I'm giving it more time to
breathe. And then when it confirmed,
right? Not before it confirmed. After it
confirmed, that's when I added. So
notice I'm not just adding to fix my
average. I am adding based on seeing a
confirmed move lower. So if I'm not
seeing a confirmed move lower, I am not
adding this BTI. Guys, I'm just screwing
around. So, I think I'm just going to
get out of it and just enjoy my gains on
uh TRNR. There's no point of trying to
scalp around or trying to screw around
here. I got 9 minutes till zombie times.
Let me just take my profits on, you
know, TRNR and enjoy my day. So, TRNR
waiting on the
dips. You know what's going to happen,
right guys? As soon as I get out, this
thing is going to lose
$3. I know that Steven is already
prepared for that. And now with TRNR
bouncing, I mean, I could read these
bounces. So, I added back, well, tried
to add back a little bit of TRNR into
this bounce. BTI, I just got out of it.
So, I lost a little bit on BTI. Not
really too concerned. Just need this
TRNR to give us another dip down and
then we could start to call it a day.
So, I'm all out of BTI. Got nothing left
there. Small loss there overall.
So, I got a little bit of an ad there,
27 on TRNR. So, ideally would like to
see a nice dip down to uh you know 20
320. My assumption is these bounces
should fail. BTI is looking a lot weaker
now, but as mentioned guys, until that
thing breaks 460, it still might end up
trapping. So, add more 334 on TRNR. Just
going to continue to short these
bounces. Uh TRNR is still bouncing. So,
I'm just going to keep shorting these
bounces, guys, with my profits that I
locked in from the dips. The same way we
got this forced move up earlier, we're
getting another forced move up. It feels
like it's almost identical thing that
happened earlier, they're doing it
again. So, there's definitely some sort
of heavy manipulation happening on this
stock. Does feel like it's going to
probably have some sort of wash out
candle here soon on TRNR. And if we do
wash out, I will definitely look to
reduce. But the weird thing about this
stock is they just kind of grind it back
on really nothing. So that tells me
there's some sort of algo, some sort of
manipulation, some sort of something
happening here. Yeah, BTI is kind of
definitely weak, but as we're
approaching zombie times, I'm not
looking to really add on anything. I'm
just looking to kind of reduce. So TRNR
push and
fail. So just pretty much babysitting
this for
now. Do think it looks like a stuff
there. So, nice rejection there again.
So, you see every time it's testing 350,
360, it's just selling off. So, that
tells me that there's probably some sort
of hidden seller or something going on
there. TRNR looks like a fail to me,
dude. You know, it kind of looks like a
fail to me. Yeah, it just needs to kind
of follow through a little bit. It just
needs to kind of break that 340s area.
There we go. 340. Yeah, I took a little
bit off your I took a little bit off,
too. Oh my. That's
I covered more. What up, idiot, dude? Of
course. The Stephen and Alex indicator
together.
Yeah, the Stephen and Alex together.
That's it, guys. I'm all out.
I'm all out, dude. That's it. I'm in a
little bit. Of course you're in a little
bit. So, this is my day, guys. I'm
wrapping up a
$6,200 day, which is a very, very nice
start to the month.
$6,27352. Appreciate the help, bro. You
crushed it. Well, we'll see the final
product today. N you're good, bro. You
rushed it. I'm going to wire out some
money. So, let's get this set up. I'm
just going to wire out uh $50,000. So,
I'm going to give myself a $50,000
paycheck for a job well done. So, yes, I
only made $6,000 today, but over the
past couple months, you can see here
last month I made 182,000. So, I'm just
going to take some of these profits off
the table, put it in my bank account,
and go enjoy the day. Let's hit the
button.
Submit. Bam. That's it. He got it. Done.
How long would it take for that to hit
your bank? It's going to be there first
thing tomorrow. First thing tomorrow.
So, first thing when I'm going to be
here with the camera in my hands, you're
going to show up a phone. Sure. Okay.
Easy. So, I mean, if you guys remember
that BTI stock that we were trying to
get out of, it ended up going straight
up. So, we got out very, very good. This
Acon stock, we were looking to short at
six. It just went straight down. And
this TRNR, we got out perfectly before
it rebounded, baby. And it's 10:47.
10:47. Good job. Pretty good. How many
years of experience? Uh, this month is
11 years. 11 years. This month is 11
years. Yeah. I I started when I was 19
and now I'm 30. Damn. How many accounts
have you blown? Like have you had like
uh I blew so many that I stopped
counting. I stopped counting after 20.
You'll never meet someone that hasn't
blown an account. If you ever meet
anyone that says they haven't blown up
an account, they are full of dude.
There's no way. Like I like I said, bro,
I stopped counting. And that's not it's
not because I'm embarrassed. It's
because, dude, that's what I had to do
to get here. You have to learn what not
to do before you learn what actually do.
And now, bro, look, my process tells me
that at 10:30, I have to walk away. So,
at 10:30, I'm walking away. Is bouncing.
Yeah. Is bouncing. Yeah. Right.
Impressive. Like, again, I see you for
the first time live and it's like nuts.
I mean, bro, some days are better than
others. I definitely don't win every
day. Definitely not. I mean, think about
this. Look, my losing trade of the day
was $300 and my winning trade was 6,000.
The difference is so long as you're able
to control your winners, nothing else
matters. Do you remember what was your
biggest loss? Yeah, it was bad. It was I
think April of
2023. It was like $450,000 in a day.
Wow. Yeah, it was bad. I was depressed
for months. That was bad. What did you
do to come out of it? Dude, I had so
many I did so many problems. So, my
biggest problem is like I wanted to make
it back the next day. And I came back
the next day and I made like 100 grand.
And then I wanted to keep making it back
as fast as possible. And then the next
day I made 70 grand. I'm like, "Holy
I made 170 grand. I just need
what, 230 left or whatever the math
checks out to." And then the day after
that I lost 100. And I was like, "Oh,
wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a
second. Now I'm trading recklessly,
right? I'm trading recklessly. And
because I'm trading recklessly, like the
entire thing is going to get ruined." So
I stopped trading aggressively. I tried
stopped trying to make it back in a
month and went back to basics slow and
as steady,000 $2,000 $3,000 a day and by
May, June, July, August, September,
October,
November. I wonder if I have a
screenshot. I should have a screenshot
of that. So, here it is. May 7th, 2023.
So, it was in May, not April. Minus
$435,000. He is right. Yeah, he's right.
Did you learn anything from it or was it
just what? No, dude. What did you mess
up? Do you know? I was in too big. I was
in way too big. I was in way too big
before the stock told me to get in big.
So, just like in the trading that we do
every day, I say stay small until
confirmation until confirmation till
confirmation. I just kept adding and
adding and adding and adding and adding
and adding and adding to a loser until
it eventually screwed me up. And I had
to learn that lesson, bro, because you
could get away with murder a lot of
times in trading, but all it takes is
one time to really screw you up. And I
was on a hot streak before that. I made
like a million dollars in 55 days. So
like I make a million dollars in 55
days. I'm like, "Holy shit." Like
nothing is going to stop me until it
stops you. So the point is you have to
make sure to like get your together. And
that loss, although made me depressed
for months, it was the best thing that
ever happened to me because I learned a
lesson that is now gonna pay so much
more dividends, right? That lesson is
what allows me to trade the way that I
trade today. Oh, look at it's crashing.
Oh my god. Oh my god, dude. That's like
another six grand right there.
Just did the recording.
If this is not proving anyone who is
like questioning your me, it's dude. Now
I'm pissed, bro. All right, let's ask
Steve. Yeah, actually, let's let's
message Steve. Sending you the invoice.
Let's see what he says. That thing is
dunzo.
You like black coffee? You like
espresso? You like tea? The only thing I
don't have is that bull kombucha, bro. I
don't have any kombucha or like chai
lattes or whatever that is. All right, I
got you. You ever sit back down and
trade again or that's a big no? No,
that's breaking the rules, bro. You
break the rules, you lose money. Yeah,
we're going to try to uh put our members
on our website, some more personable
photos. So, do you find it hard to like
manage uh the business and like trading
together or does it Yeah, it's tough
because if you have a good trading day,
everything is easy. If you have a tough
trading day, you can't get anything
done, man. This TRNR,
bros. Sheesh. Like an extra 12,000 now.
That's like at least like dude could
have been a nice $20,000 day, but
instead it is not. It's all right. New
day tomorrow.
