The first thing we are having here Japanese yen and I'm definitely going to go for long here. Uh I'm willing to buy here and yeah going for long. Uh you can see the vortex gives a buy signal and I expect a break up above the local
resistance and probably star also confirms the upward movement. Therefore confirms the upward movement. Therefore there you go. There you are
trying not to do something crazy, but I'm just willing do something crazy, but I'm just willing to change. And these changes are not because of anything bad. No, I'm just done with uh a lot of things in life.
going to be talking and telling you about the things which is quite And I believe you're going to be appreciating that and you're going to be very much maybe you'll find some reflection in yourself as well. So, the
first bet is profitable. Perfect. $288 right there. Uh, yep. right there. Uh, yep. So, that's good.
to like like Yeah, I'm playing that we are having Australian and Canadian dollars having 200 right here and going for short. Definitely. You can see the price that bounced down from the public side line strong. We are having a strong
downward movement. The vortex also signals a drop and waiting for a break below the under the bong bands. So we are having a sell trade here. Uh even if we're not really breaking the Bing bands line, at least we are touching it. But
it looks like we're going to be breaking it. All right, let's pull back. It just pulls back. It got scary. Oh, we broke it. So nice. as soon as we broke it,
this bet. This is what I'm willing to believe in. And yeah, talking about the changes, uh I don't know, you know, I I'm just uh I don't know, you know, I I'm just getting, how do I say?
getting, how do I say? It's getting Oh [ __ ] We got like 7 seconds. So I won't really uh be able to make it happen after this. But what what we won. But did you see what happened?
What? All right. No worries. No worries. I'm All right. No worries. No worries. I'm kind of dealing with it.
So, Australian and Franks right here. Uh, I'm having so 472. I believe I can go with three 350. All right. Let's put a 350 right there. a 350 right there. Um,
I'mma be honest. I want to I want to play for long. And what I can see that I I expect an upward breakout from the consolidation phase in Australian dollars and accelerator. Damn accelerator. Damn, I can't speak.
Accelerate. Oh, it's Oh, it's accelerator stless support growth. A bra also points for long scenarios. Oh, dang. I just
can't speak. Accelerator. What I was trying to say is I was trying to say accelerator. That's accelerator, not acceler. Oh, That's accelerator, not acceler. Oh, damn, bro. I mixed the
or the accelerator. Yeah. Damn. I'mma be I might I'mma be dumb the bet? >> Who cares if I got money? Almost $800
right there. $6 shows. Dang. All right. Great. Great.
92% of profit. Great. [Music] Okay. Moving to another currency pair right here. right here. And
for short. not changing the amount but I just need to no so uh we can see that we are having a strong resistance at 1.91724 and expecting a drop from that level and
a break below the midline baring a band probably s gave a sell signal and vortex probably s gave a sell signal and vortex is also preparing to signal short so yeah going for short yeah what I was trying to say the the the main reason I
shave my beard that because of the fact that barber just messed it up. But but that's something I mean that time I I truly believe that when something happens everything happens for a reason. So I believe there must be something
that I should change in my lifestyle and my mindset and I believe this is the my mindset and I believe this is the point where where I can do it and okay we got the bed. I don't know
whether I'm going to make it until the end of the video. end of the video. Yeah, I I'll try my best. But in the meantime, I got $1,116, which is quite impressive, I believe.
which is quite impressive, I believe. [Music] Uh Frank send the Japanese yen right here. Let's I want to play big. Let's put 500
right there. And I'm going go for short here. That is definitely what I'm going to be doing. Yeah. Okay, let's go. So here I'm
expecting a pullback after a large bullish candle and this will caused by a bullish candle and this will caused by a big buy order for the frame overall. And based on the technical analysis, we expect at least a raises of the midline
of the candle and here down the middle of the channel line. So we are having a of the channel line. So we are having a sell trade. We're going for short
without a purpose. clubbing, partying, all these, you know, people around who don't who don't really care about my well-being and everything. Uh, I'm just mentally exhausted. Yeah, this is
this is point. Just mentally exhausted trying to >> Oh my god. >> There you go. 1576 >> There you go. 1576 and trying to get more money. You know,
cuz these people around me, they just using and not giving, you know, not giving, you know, [Music]
there's no point of the communication of that relationship. I don't enjoy it at all. Okay, not changing the amount cuz the Okay, not changing the amount cuz the profit percentage is quite low, but
I I want to break with it. not break I want to play with it. So going short here you can see that false breakout occurred after a consolidation and I expect further decline as well as you
can see that Williams shows some overb in the in American dollars United States dollars so I would go with the sell trade. Yeah, guys. So, in in the that I'm mentally exhausted and everything, just take careful look at
your surrounding and at at your environment at at the people who are in a daily contact with you who with whom you have any type of relationship cuz if they are sucking up your energy and because of that you you
feel lazy or you you lose the motivation and you are not willing to grow and you're not willing to do anything in your then get rid of him and just the better thing is just to lock down you know with them with something that will
know with them with something that will bring a lot of benefits like two I mean almost 2,000 to be accurate $1,936 from $150 which is quite impressive I believe. Yeah. So this is what I decided
to do. [Music] I'm getting rid of the useless people. That that that's going to be rude. I believe some of you may be hating me saying that. But this
is the truth of the world, you know. I'm trying to get rid of the people who's using what are using me and not really willing to get in touch with them again. willing to get in touch with them again. So block in get money.
