[00:03] right when that's people's annual salary and surely enough literally right after we got out price actually reverse heavily just like this so yeah this is the power of understanding market mechanics so if there's anything that
[00:16] I've learned from the market it'll be this one thing uh top five book recommendations we got essentials of forex trading like just look at this bro oh my god god created something so beautiful just like this look at is.
[00:30] >> Thank you. >> Have a good day. here. >> 360 view real quick. Right, Tuesday 2nd June. Boom. A few days later, market absolutely collapsed. And this is like I
[00:46] don't know like my 10th time of predicting the stock market crash. Yo, what's up guys? So, I'm going to start vlogging a lot more often just to give you a glimpse of my life outside of trading. You are going to see me talk
[00:59] unfiluted videos. You're going to see me hang out with my friends and just overall enjoying the fruits of my labor. You know, I've been slaving my ass off on the markets for like the past 7 years. So yeah, I'm just going to show
[01:12] you my life now and just going to document everything as usual. Anyways, document everything as usual. Anyways, we just finished a live trading session, right? So today this was the bad boy trade that we have taken today, right?
[01:24] This was on GBP JPY. It's called the beast for a reason. But before we dive into the trade, just check out this view, man. Like, man, I'm so blessed. I'm so grateful to be trading with this view every single day. I'm going to show
[01:38] you like my my bookshelf and give you some book recommendations for trading books in general very very soon. But before I do that, I just want to walk you through quickly on this trade that I've taken on GPJPY. So once
[01:52] again, as usual, every single trade was documented live on my second channel, Brad Trades. Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. Do you see that? Oh, Rowley Daytona Jam. Okay. Anyways, yeah, this trade made me around like 131K. Nothing
[02:07] too crazy. I had days where I made 300K, 500K, but yeah, be humble, Brad. So, anyways, let me just walk you through what happened right here. Okay, so this was taken during the London Q. All right. And you can see once again, I
[02:23] just finished journaling, right? Because I was really just recording this entire live trading session from the entry. You can see the entry all the way till I exited the trade itself. And I just got the opportunity for the past 1 hour to
[02:38] like just sit here, give myself the time and space to like just introspect, right? To think about what I could have done better so that I can actually improve my edge. So yeah, this is my trading journal. This was the trade
[02:50] pretty much entered somewhere around here and then we got out somewhere around here and you can see this was my entry confluences itself inbalance liquidity sweep supply zone chain higher time frame bearish bias London Q zone. I
[03:03] fundamentally believe that trading success is all about finding the right trade ideal at the right place at the right time. This means that you're going to you need to be able to formulate the correct trade bias right so that you can
[03:19] get the direction right and you need to be trading at the right place at a high probability point of interest at a zone at the right time when liquidity have been swept when that is a Q zone when there's a surge in liquidity search in
[03:37] volatility in the market so that price can actually have the fuel it need to actually go down to the TP itself. But yeah, that's exactly what happened right here, price was heavily bearish on the higher time frame, right? Lower highs,
[03:50] obviously sellers are in control of price, so we should be looking for you can see price rejected this demand zone multiple times, right? First time over here, second time over here. So we kind of know that, hey, this is a demand
[04:04] zone that there's going to be a lot of buy orders, a lot of buying pressure. that demand zone. You know what I'm saying? So, what happened right here was that uh price tried to go down to that same level again, but pretty much
[04:19] rejected leaving behind this trail over here. And this trail is pretty much a here. And this trail is pretty much a form of imbalance, which I know that this week right here, right? Especially when there's such a huge amount of
[04:31] selling pressure, price tend to come down and fill up this week, fill up the here, okay? Okay, or pending orders, whatever you like to call it. And on top of that, you can also see that we are actually part of this supply chain where
[04:44] price is respecting the previous supply zone. And it's just part of this chain reacted to this supply zone. Price reacted again from to this supply zone. they just tell us that the sellers are in control of price. And yeah, and the
[05:00] like, you know what? I'm just going to try to take advantage of this huge momentum and just ride it all the way down. So that's where I entered a sell right here like I'll say this is about like 15 minutes. Yeah, around 15 minutes
[05:16] into London session itself. Right. So we got the London liquidity the fuel yes price all the way down here. And then price came all the way down here. And at first I placed my takeprofit somewhere downhill. But then I saw price reverse
[05:31] somewhere around here. And I was like, wait a minute, there might not be enough down. And if there's not enough liquidity for price to continue going down, I sure as hell do not want to be holding on to this trade just to see
[05:46] price reverse against me. So I decided to get out right there, right? Just reversed this could have been like I don't know like a 150k 180k trade but because I closed somewhere around here guess what it turned out to be just a
[06:01] guess what it turned out to be just a good old 131k trade but can't complain right when that's people's annual salary and just surely enough literally right after we got out price actually reverse heavily just like this so yeah this is
[06:14] the power of understanding market mechanics you're just going to be able to learn how to trade the market rather than trade your greed, rather than trade your ego, rather than trade your mental well-being, right? So, so yeah, ended up
[06:28] um this is the entire trade, right? This is pretty much the entire journal itself. Did some little reflection over here and yeah, fees are insane though. Look at the fees. Oh my god, like fees is actually insane when you are trading
[06:42] is actually insane when you are trading 3,000 lots, right? With such a humongous lot size. But anyways, that was the trade itself. What I'm going to do now is that I'm going to show you guys like my little bookshelf,
[06:56] right? I'm very passionate about this, right? It's all about knowledge, right? Okay. But anyways, after this, I'm going to go and get dinner. Potentially going to go and watch the sunset here in Singapore. So hopefully we can catch the
[07:08] guys can see it, but there's a freaking eagle out there. Can you guys see it? Do you guys see the eagle? Oh my god. Wait, how do I use this freaking DJI osmoting,
[07:20] know what? I can't zoom in. I don't know how to zoom in. I'm a freaking boomer. But yeah, if you guys can see the eagle comment down below because like that's a sign for good luck. Oh, you see that
[07:32] right there? Right there. Right there. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Soaring in the sky, Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Soaring in the sky, man. Just like my prophets. [laughter] Yeah. But after this, we're going to go for a drive and then we are going to go
[07:45] and get dinner and try to catch the sunset. But before I do, I know a lot of you guys have been asking me for this. Oh, what are the the best trading books to read, Brad? What are your book recommendations? Because obviously I see
[07:58] you read a lot and you are a very wise young man. Well, my friend, here's the truth. Here's the truth. Okay, you're not ready for this but here's the truth. There is no trading book that is better
[08:14] There is no trading book that is better than the market. I fundamentally believe that the market is the greatest mentor. The market is the best teacher you can The market is the best teacher you can possibly have. It taught me so much,
[08:27] right? All the losses that I've incurred taught me so much about the market taught me so much about my trading strategy than any one of these books right here. So yeah, books didn't make me profitable. books just allowed me to
[08:40] have a glimpse of how professional traders trade. So, talking about that, if you guys are really like wondering what are the top five trading books that professional trader, like I said, that's really just the goal of books, right? I
[08:57] believe that books are just a window for you to actually have a glimpse of how professional traders think, act and feel on a daily basis so that you can emulate them. All right, but that's it. It doesn't teach you too much about how to
[09:11] analyze charts like Brett go. Okay. Anyways, uh top five book recommendations, we got essentials of forex trading right here. 10 essentials of forex trading. This was the book that got me started. And then we also got
[09:23] super trader by Dr. Van K. And then the mental game of trading which is very good for trading psychology. And then market wizards where Jack Dwagle go Wall Street, right? The best traders, the hedge fund traders, the billionaire
[09:37] traders. And then we got the playbook, right? Which is honestly my personal favorite which this you like really how to operate like a hedge fund. And you know what I like that is not my favorite. My favorite is actually best
[09:49] favorite. My favorite is actually best loser wins, right? This is an absolute monster of a book. It really just changed the way that I trade forever, right? So, yeah, shout out to Tom Hagot. Kiss the man. But yeah, those are like
[10:02] the top five book recommendations. So, if there's anything that I've learned from the market, it would be this one thing. The money is not made in clicking the buy and sell button. The money is made
[10:15] in what you do before and after the trade. How you prepare yourself before the market opens. How you review your trading plan, how you reflect on your trade idea, how you improve your trading strategy using the data that you have
[10:30] collected from your trades. And that's why like nowadays I just do all of this stuff inside my trading super edge flow, right? You can see this is really like the place where I can have all my trading systems and processes, right? I
[10:45] do my pre-market routine in here. I do my journaling in here as well. Every single trade automatically get imported in here. I even review my trading plan in here. I even look at high impact news in here. I even do my reviewing in here
[10:58] as well. I even do my meditation in here. Like literally everything is in one place, right? So yeah, I built this app because I was so sick and tired of like just juggling 10 different apps just so that I could trade profitably.
[11:12] And I was like, you know what? Since nobody built it, I'm going to build it. So yeah, Edgeflow, ww.edgeflow.com, the best trading app. It's not even a trading journal, bro. It's literally the entire trading super app. It's a
[11:25] freaking powerhouse, mate. But yeah, wedgeflow.com. #notsponsored totally at all. All right, before I go down to the car park, let me before I go down to the car park, let me just quickly have a sip of the water
[11:38] the morning, right? But now it's like freaking 5:00 p.m. So, I'm just going to have water. Got to stay hydrated, right? Like that's millionaire trader. Drink like four liters of water every single day. But oh
[11:52] my god, look at look at this view, man. Like every single morning, I come out here and I brew a glass of hot green tea and I'll just sit here and I'll just admire the view after my 10 minute, 15 minute meditation and I'll just be
[12:06] reminded of how incredibly fortunate I am to be alive. Like just look at this. am to be alive. Like just look at this. All right. Oh my god, bro. Bro, All right. Oh my god, bro. Bro, bro. Oh my god. Like, how can you say
[12:21] that God is not real? God created something so beautiful just like this. something so beautiful just like this. Look at this, man. coincidence that this year was the year that I got closer to God. And this was
[12:35] also the year where I moved into this new place. when I looked down and I saw there was like a church right there and then there was a I don't know Catholic whether you guys can see the text right there but it says believe that God truly
[12:50] love you and I really believe that I believe that God loves you I believe that God love me I believe that there is something divine within us right so I want you to really
[13:04] content So yeah, let's go down for the drive. Looks like the sun is about to set right now. Look at this. All right, let's go down to the car park right now and then
[13:22] down to the car park right now and then yeah, I'll speak to you guys soon. it's funny because I live in one of the highest floor here and the worst part is
[13:35] honestly waiting for the leaf. Like that's the downside of living high up in the skies in the clouds. Other than that, not much complaints, man. Like there's not much construction noise. It's very peaceful up here. I love my
[13:50] life here, honestly. All right, so right now we're at a car park. Look at my car keys. It's so cute, man. It's like literally a car. Is it quite cool? All care. It's pretty cool. It's not cringe at all.
[14:04] And we are just going to go get the car. All right. So, I can just press this button right here. Beep beep. Oh, look at that. Oh, man. Bro, I still get so excited to like just drive this. Like I said, this is
[14:20] technically my mom's car since you guys saw the video where I pretty much bought this for her. But yeah, just look at how elegant and classy it is. Like, look at the wheels. Look at the way it's shaped. It's a little bit longer than the usual
[14:34] cars and man, it's just such a nice daily car to drive. It's absolutely insane that my mom get this get to drive this every single day. But yeah, today I'm just going to take this out for a joy ride. And yeah, let me just go in
[14:49] there and just start the engine for you guys. And then look at this. Oh, I'm guys. And then look at this. Oh, I'm outside with an AMG TT. Oh my god, I love this man. It's so welcoming. And then just look at the interior.
[15:04] Interior is insane, bro. Look at this. Rain on red. Looks crazy and [sighs] man. I swear Mercedes-Benz have the best interior, bro. Let's start the
[15:17] the best interior, bro. Let's start the engine real quick. as well. Jesus.
[15:34] car actually sounds because this is kind of like a sports car, but it's more of like a cruising sports car. So, it doesn't have like a V8 engine like a Porsche or like a Ferrari. But yeah, you might be curious how this car actually
[15:47] I'm just going to put this mic at the the exhaust area and then I'm going to put this car in sports mode and then you can just listen for yourself.
[16:10] that to sports mode. Right. So now right now we're in comfort mode. Comfort mode is for like people who are gay. So you got to go to sports mode and boom. Now the base is unlocked. And the cool part is that you can actually change the
[16:23] display. And I think there's like a very very specific display for sports mode which is this one right here. And look at that. Oh, now we are talking. And just just look at how freaking cool this is. And what I'm going to do right now
[16:37] is that I'm going to play Drake new album Iceman. And then we're going to have a blast. But yeah, let me just show you like what's cool about this car. right here. Second of all, you can have like this seat kinetics where you like I
[16:52] don't know just like have things that is moving on your seat itself so you do not fall asleep and then you can position your seat automatically. There's ambient lighting which is really cool. This is honestly the whole reason why I haven't
[17:05] purchased this car in the first place. But yeah, there's even this feature where I press this and then the the thing will come up. Yeah, there's just all these like little cool features everywhere that makes it such a good
[17:18] daily car where you can just drive like every single day, right? And man, I just while we on the road with the top down. That' be pretty sick. And you can see like this right here. Oops. Right here. This right here is the button that
[17:33] you can use to actually take down the soft top, right? Because this is a comfortable car. Yeah. So, we're going to take it down later on and just going to cruise and just admire the Singapore sky lines, right? So, that would be
[17:45] pretty nice. But yeah, that's pretty much it. Uh, I'm not a huge car guy to don't even know what I'm talking about. I don't know what's the horsepower. I don't memorize all that I just know that this is a very nice and classy
[17:58] car. And it's a fast car. Not as fast as like a Ferrari or Porsche, like I said, but it's fast, right? It is actually kind of like fast, right? I believe it can go zero to 100 in like 7.9 seconds. So, it's like it's not super fast, but
[18:13] it's fast enough for my mom, right? I'm pretty sure my mom doesn't need a V8 engine. Uh, but anyways, that's pretty much it. Lots of carbon carbon fiber everywhere. Carbon fiber. Yes. Yes. Oh my god, all the car guys are like
[18:25] freaking orgasming right here. Carbon fiber, right? Which is really really cool. And yeah, and dude, honestly, man, I I'm just so comfortable right now. And I just love the fact that like the lights
[18:38] just keep on changing color by itself. And you can see there's two seats at the And you can see there's two seats at the back. And unlike any other convertible, behind, right? You can see there's a lot of leg room behind. Not like Mercedes
[18:52] S-Class, but you can see there's actually sufficient leg room behind for you're six foot, you can probably fit in there. >> Pardon? Can you say >> All right. Hey, Mercedes.
[19:05] How may I help you, >> man? You got to treat your AI well, man, start taking over the car and I love you, Mercedes, right? You're the best, man. >> Excuse me. Could you say that again? I
[19:18] didn't quite catch what you said. >> No, I love you back. It's crazy, though. know, had to set up the second angle right there. Got to start recording over here as well. And then, yeah, then we
[19:30] can begin with the ride, the late night ride. I was about I wanted to actually 7:30 p.m. which means the sun has already set. But anyways, let's just go and get McDonald and let's just chill out. All right, so yeah, let's put this
[19:44] to drive and then we can get the hell out of here. there we go. Got to get out of the parking lot.
[19:56] Right. Giving you guys a little bit of like that POV. This is what I'm seeing right now. Okay. So, I'm going to turn it out, right? Just going to go one the camera down so I can focus on driving.
[20:09] But yeah, just look at this. I just love how smooth the steering wheel is. It's like, bro, it's so smooth to drive this car, man. Right. There's all these safety features as well that like protect you and
[20:23] which is good, right? Especially since this is a this car is driven by my mom all the time. But yeah, just look at this. Look how smooth this thing is. Right. And then we got to do a big boy u-turn right here. All right. Big boy
[20:39] U-turn. There we go. All right. There we go. Okay. Now it's time to get out of the freaking parking lot, man.
[20:53] Can I have some Drake, please? Give me Give me some Drake, bro. [singing] [music]
[21:08] >> But I'm probably going to get like copyright, but like whatever, you know? monetizing a stupid YouTube video when I just spent 151K on a trade? Come on now, Come on now. But yeah, man. We're just going to go for like a sweet little
[21:24] [music] drive right now. >> Driving in Singapore requires a lot of focus, right? Requires a lot of intense dedication and awareness. Like you moment and right? So, I'm like super duper locked in right now. Uh, and
[21:39] yeah, I just want to make sure that I'm driving responsibly. I'm a safe driver, right? Remember that. That's the identity that I adopted for myself like the minute I actually became a driver. And this means you got to watch your
[21:52] speed limit, you know, because your family's life are literally in your hands, right, while you're driving. So that's like some rule that I would never ever break is to drive irresponsibly. I would never ever drink driving. I would
[22:04] never ever do stupid like getting a target while driving because it's simply Go somewhere with like a nicer lighting and I can speak to you guys properly.
[22:16] Wow, dude. Can you believe how dark it is right now? It's actually insane, bro. in in the mountains right now. >> You become the label that you have given yourself. If you tell yourself that you are a professional trader, you are going
[22:31] one, which means you're going to start journaling your trades. You are going to start following your trade plan. You are going to start reviewing your data. You single day with discipline. And when you change the way you think, act, and feel,
[22:49] guess what? You pretty much change your identity. And when you change your identity, you change your actions. And when you change your actions, you change your trading results. You change your life, right? So understand that your P&L
[23:02] is literally a reflection of you. So if you do not like your P&L, then chances You got to change the person in the mirror. Yeah. But anyways, enough of me yapping right now. I'm just super hungry right now. It's like 7:40 p.m. right
[23:17] now. Was supposed to watch the sunset, but we all know how that went. So, I'm just going to go for a drive-thru. Gonna get McDonald's. And then, honestly, like I don't even need McDonald's, bro. But like, I see all these freaking trading
[23:30] gurus, see all these influencers driving their supercars in Miami or Dubai, and I don't know why, right? It's it's I don't know. Is it so that you can like flex that you're rich, but you're still humble? I don't know. All right. But
[23:44] anyways, I've never really gotten like a drive-thru before. So, this is my first time. Uh, yeah, let's see how it goes. But before we do, let's get the top down real quick. Right. So, yeah, you can see this is how you can actually get a top
[23:57] down. Just press this. And then when you do, look at the top just start coming out, which is incredible. You guys probably can't see right now. Can you guys even see anything? Oh, there we go. All right. All right, so we
[24:11] got the top down and then the tinted windows will start coming down here as windows will start coming down here as well. right now. And then once this is done, this is where we are going to start to
[24:25] go for the ways and then we're going to find a McDonald's nearby and then we'll just cruise. Right. So yeah, I'll catch you guys in a bit. I'm just going to to go for a quick drive listening to Dre.
[24:37] [music] [singing] I just prefer to have the air con on. But like this is just such a vibe, man.
[24:49] Especially at night when it's like it's not too hot. It's also not too cold. It's just nice, you know, late night drive vibes. Quick little POV late night drive vibes. Quick little POV real quick. Right. We got views right.
[25:03] You can see right there. 360 view real quick. So, right now we're out here in the highway. It's going to be like super duper loud, but yeah, you can see this is the Singapore street, right? It's very packed right now. It's
[25:18] like Saturday night, so I'm pretty sure people are rushing to the club or like people are going out for like a nice little meal with their family and But yeah, it's it's just the culture here, man. It's it's a city, you know?
[25:31] It's a small little country. I love it here. It's very peaceful. It's very safe and secure. It's clean. Like there's really nothing to complain about Singapore except for the fact that like it's kind of expensive. But the thing is
[25:44] like which city is not expensive. You know what I mean? So it's like if you want to enjoy this quality of life, that's just the price you got to pay. man. >> It's honestly pretty worth it.
[26:00] the way to the central business district in planning to get a McDonald's. That's like the nearest McDonald. So yeah, >> Hi. Hello. >> Hello. Can I get a six piece uh
[26:16] McNuggets with fries and make it a meal, please? please? >> Uh yes, please. >> What do you mean? Uh, can I have milk?
[26:29] >> Milk. Any more there? >> Uh, that's all. Thank you. >> Okay. Cab sauce, ham. >> Uh, sorry. >> Yes, please. Curry sauce, please. >> Thank you.
[26:42] that I used to visit back when I was working a 9 to 5 job, right? Back when I red state company, earning about like $650 an hour back in like 2021ish.
[26:54] During lunchtime, I will actually come to this McDonald and get through it. So, yeah, it's kind of like a full circle moment right now. It's incredible. >> I couldn't find the entertainment source.
[27:06] >> Have a good day. >> All right, let's get the hell out of here. So, I just got my McDonald meal, right? The nuggets and the fries and grown ass man. And there's this thing on my dashboard right now. It says anti-
[27:21] theft protection prime. I don't know what's actually going on here, but yeah, Mercedes. >> Hey, Mercedes. >> Can you put my address in? >> Pardon? Would you repeat that, please?
[27:36] Daddy. >> All right, so quick little update. We are parked in a car park right now, and I pretty much restarted the engine. And thing is gone. Not sure what happened right there. Anyways, nothing to
[27:51] complain about Mercedes, man. I just do not know how to operate this software yet. There's a lot of things going on in here. There's a lot of cool features. I need to spend more time to understand this. But let's just say that I know
[28:03] Because my mom probably have absolutely no idea how to even operate like the parking cameras and There was this one time where she just got the car and
[28:16] then she drove you out on the road and then she realized that the left rear view mirror was like pointing all the way down and then she did not know how to bring the mirror back up. So my dad had to sit beside her and my dad also
[28:30] don't know how to use this freaking car cuz he's a boomer and he doesn't drive. So my dad has to like sit beside her and just tell my mom and just help my mom check blind spot and like check if there's any car on like the left lane
[28:42] itself which is crazy. And I don't know how she survived the car ride. It was like 30 minutes. But yeah, she did that. So yeah, lots of cool features in this car itself. You know, there's going to be plenty of time to explore. But for
[28:55] start eating my McDonald, which is probably gone cold. Get right here. little milk. And yeah, and then I'm just going to speak to you guys about trading, right? Trading psychology and Just give
[29:10] you some tips here and there. And bro, oh my god, my mom is probably going to scroll me for like eating in the car, right? She does not like it when people eat in her car. And she's also probably going to sc me for drinking milk. You
[29:24] mommy's boy right now. Who cares? I'm a G, bro. I just made 131K. Who cares, right? I mean, I'm the owner of this car technically since I bought it for her.
[29:44] I don't know why you guys like it, man. It's weird as hell. I prefer to have my stick. What am I doing in my penthouse, man?
[29:56] But yeah, it's all right, I guess. It's all right, I guess. Now, a lot of traders think that losses are the hardest part about trading, but I will argue and say that that's not true. I
[30:09] would say that winning is the hardest part about trading because when you win, you start feeling overconfident, especially after you have won three trades, five trades in a row. And then when you start feeling overconfident,
[30:21] this is where you start making stupid decisions. You start deviating from your trade plan because you think you know it all. You start feeling overconfident and cocky and you start moving your stop loss because after all you're the best
[30:34] loss because after all you're the best trader in the entire world. You start to disregard your risk management rules because you don't need it. After all, you just made 105K. And this is where you start to mess up,
[30:47] right? It's like the moment you let your emotions, the moment you let your ego where your downfall will start happening. That is where the whatever profits that you have earned will start diminishing. So it's easy to make money
[31:02] but it's difficult to actually keep the money that you make. That is why like after you know seven years of trading I have decided to have like this rule for myself where I always make sure that I walk away after a win right I always
[31:17] what I basically mean by that is that whenever I win a trade for the day, I'm done, right? Or when I hit the profit target for the day, I'm done. Right? So just like this to prevent you from overtrading, to prevent you from, you
[31:34] know, just giving back the profits that you have made back to the market itself. So for me personally, it's like if I make two R, if I make 2%, I'm good, make two R, if I make 2%, I'm good, right? So for example today I risk 60k
[31:47] made about 130k on the trade itself I'm good right obviously I can make more but you got to know when enough is enough and I know for a fact that like if I continue trading the next trade will be worse than the
[32:02] first trade because I've already spent all this energy and attention into preparing for the first trade right so by definition as you all know energy is trade that you take, you're not going to be as focused and locked in as you were
[32:18] when you're taking your first trade. And when that actually happens, guess what? Poor decision making lead you to making stupid decisions lead you to taking unnecessary losses. As I always say, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. So
[32:32] learn how to protect the win at all costs. Right? That should be the lesson. It shouldn't just be to make the profit but it should also be to keep the profits that you have made rather than constantly giving back to the market.
[32:44] is to like just stick to one trading session. For me personally, I always show up during the London session no matter what no matter uh like I feel like it or I don't feel like it irrespective of my emotion or how I feel
[32:59] for the day itself I show up on London session scan for my trading opportunities. If there's a trade, I trade. If there's no trade, I stay out. And I definitely do not continue trading all the way till the New York session as
[33:13] well. Because in my first year of trading, what I'll do is that I will try to trade every single session. I'll try to trade Asia session, New York session, London session. I will try to trade from the morning all the way to at night. And
[33:25] then what tends to happen is that I make a lot of money during the Asia session. I could be up like few hundred bucks. And then during the London session, I make another few hundred bucks. And then during the New York session, I lost
[33:37] everything and I gave everything back to the market. In fact, I'm actually down like a few hundred bucks. So, I actually didn't end up going back to square one, but going back to [clears throat] negative, right? So, that was absolutely
[33:51] moving forward, I'm just going to stick to one trading session. And trust me when I say that when I do that my trading drastically improved it. My trading results literally like maybe not 10x that's a little bit dramatic but
[34:07] literally like ded right like my P&L literally became like so much more nice to look at because now I'm actually keeping the money that I make rather market. Right? That probably makes sense, right? Does that make sense? Just
[34:22] Let let me know down the comments. comment in the chat. I'm so used to like doing the coaching calls and the live session that I I'm calling you guys chat now. But no, let me know down in the comments, right? And by the way, if you
[34:35] guys want more like raw and unfiltered videos just like this where you can just see like my dayto-day, you know, you can just see that I'm an ordinary human. I'm not a freaking chart genius. I'm just a guy who have went through a lot of
[34:47] trials and tribulations and just made a lot of mistakes and just you can see that I'm really no different, man. And if I can win in this
[34:59] game, I fundamentally believe that you can do, right? I'm always going to be So yeah, learn how to protect your win, right? Learn how to not let your ego and pride take control of your trading. Learn how to like just continue stick to
[35:13] the plan. Set a target. Once you hit the target, stop trading for the day. And then next day, go back to the plan, right? Review the plan. Plan the trade. mantra every single day. Plan the trade.
[35:26] going to head up to my house right now. My freaking nuggets are getting cold, man. I'm kind of sad right now, bro. The fries are cold, the nuggets are cold, the milk is cold, which is good. But, man, I'm famished. It's like 8:30 right
[35:40] now. But hey, the dedication to make this awesome content for you guys is unreal. So, make sure you like and subscribe. All right, let's hit two mill this year. All right, let's do it. Bro, I don't know how you guys do it, man.
[35:55] I'm like struggling to eat and film at the same time, right? Bro, this is not cool, man. This is not even fun anymore. I want to sit down in my own house and just eat, bro. Yeah. So, what I'm going to do is that
[36:10] and then I think it's better to speak to you guys there than over here. It's kind of sucks. Uh, but whatever. Time to head back to the crib. Bro, I'm so stupid. I just
[36:23] realized that I was already parked and then I put to drive and I was like, "Yo, let me just go and find a parking spot." But I'm already parked. All right, so But I'm already parked. All right, so now I have to repark. Like I said, guys,
[36:36] I'm just an ordinary human just like you guys who make mistakes. All right, home guys who make mistakes. All right, home sweet home, baby. I just love coming back home, man. Life of an introvert, man. You, if you guys
[36:51] are an introvert, you will know exactly what I mean, bro. Just love coming back home, you know. Just going to chill right now right now and yeah, just going to eat and then we
[37:03] will catch up. All right. All right, I just finished eating the McDonald's, the nuggets, the fries, and the milk, and it just reminded me how much I hate McDonald's. Like, honestly, it's been like months since I eat McDonald's. I
[37:15] don't like eating McDonald's. It's just not my go-to meal. Like I said, I prefer a good medium rest. And yeah, like, man, honestly, just bought the McDonald's for the vlog, bro. It's like that's the only drive through
[37:30] you can have in Singapore, right? There's no drive-thru Starbucks or like anything here. The only thing in drive-thru here is McDonald's. And I drive-thru like somewhere near here. But that's about it. There's just not much
[37:43] reason I haven't purchased the freaking McDonald's was for the vlog. But yeah, that you get when you eat McDonald's. I think it's abs I think it's the most evil business in the entire world. Not exaggerating at all, right? But yeah,
[37:57] maybe that's another topic for another day. So, just a quick little update on my portfolio, right? An update on the road to 10M. Yesterday, we bought about few days ago, we bought about like 100K worth of Bitcoin. So, there's that. And
[38:13] I bought it at around like 60Kish, right? So, I literally bought like one Bitcoin for 100K SGD. So, that was then, price has just been continue
[38:26] That's what they say. And then the dip just dipped even further. Right now the crypto portfolio has about like 500k. Let me just check real quick. I think it's about like 500k. Okay, because Bitcoin has been crashing. So it's like
[38:40] 450K right now. But anyways, the portfolio have about half a million dollars in crypto. And then I got another stock portfolio and that one is at around 1.5 m. And then I got another stock portfolio which has around like
[38:54] 500K in it. So if you add that up, I have around like 2.5 M invested into stocks and crypto. And that's excluding like real estate and stuff, right? If I include real estate, it's like easily like 45M. Yeah. 45M. Yeah. But I guess I
[39:11] just wanted to like let you guys know the importance of really making money of the day, trading is still about exchanging time for money. You're still pressing the buy and sell button. you are still taking the time to like, you
[39:25] know, analyze the charts and all that but with investing, you are actually making money work for you. Like your money is just growing without you your money is just growing without you needing to be there all the time. So,
[39:38] please do not be like this stupid 19 or 20 year olds who just spend their trading profits recklessly without thinking about the recklessly without thinking about the future. Trust me, I've been there, done
[39:51] that, and I can tell you that you should go and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You should go and have fun, right? Spend the profits, experience the fast car, right? Go to Dubai, do whatever you want to do. But once that's done, once you
[40:04] have the fun, think about your future, right? Think about really just investing to ensure that, you know, you're able to retire early, ensure that you can become financially free. I just tell myself that, you know, no matter how much money
[40:16] I make from the market, I will always make sure that I only spend like a small portion of it and then the remaining of it, I got to invest it or I got to save to be is the person who have made a lot of money and then just declare
[40:29] bankruptcy, right? The last thing you want to be is be like one of those guys who made millions overnight and then lost it all like in a few weeks and then now they're back to square one. So, I genuinely have your best interest in
[40:42] mind. So I'm telling you right now from the bottom of my heart you got to start investment right making money is one skill keeping it is another skill just like what I mentioned earlier once you have learned to make some money just
[40:54] take a portion of it and then invest it as soon as possible and just understand that like the earlier you invest the better it is because the longer the runway you will have to compound your profits. A few days ago, I was on a live
[41:07] trading session with my students, which I do bi-weekly inside the 1% club, my mentorship program. And then this is where I just analyze the charts and just give them my buyers, my trade buyers, and my thought process and what to
[41:20] expect for the next few weeks for the different markets, right? Forex, futures, indices, commodities, and crypto, right? Just letting them know like how I see where the market is moving toward next, right? And I told
[41:33] them that hey right now we are super overextended in the stock market right price is at alltime high right now and there's a very high chance that price is going to start pulling back right so I pretty much told them that hey price is
[41:46] going to crash it's going to crash real soon and when it does it's going to go really really bad right so yeah and then literally the next day or whether two days after that you can see price collapsed all the way down here and this
[42:01] right it was on Tuesday so it's somewhere around here right Tuesday 2nd June boom a few days later market absolutely collapsed and this is like I predicting the stock market crash that's
[42:16] right when you really understand how the market move why price move you are able to predict to a certain degree as to like where price can when price will reverse and where price will move toward next after it's reversed in this case
[42:29] here told my students that Hey, these are the main demand zones that you should pay attention to. Once price break out of this demand zone, it's going to go to the next one, next one, so on and so forth. And this right here
[42:42] is the extreme demand zone. And look at where price went to. It went all the way because there was just so much selling pressure, so much momentum in the market. But yeah, man, stock market has just been absolutely crazy
[42:57] this year, huh? like 2026 stock market price action is absolutely insane. I'm going to be honest, this is not the best year in terms of like returns so far. itself. The returns are quite The markets are quite choppy. One minute
[43:13] it's, you know, going up the all-time high for no reason and then the next minute it's crashing like crazy. And I think that's just the nature of the beast, right? like with so much uncertainty, so much volatility going on
[43:26] right now, this is just the price action that you will get. So my advice for people who are trying to navigate this sort of like choppy market condition is you got to decide whether you want to trade this sort of market condition or
[43:39] invest in this sort of market condition because like this is actually a pretty good time to invest. But it's not a good time to trade. And investing and trading are completely different games that require different rules, different
[43:52] strategies, which also means that you will have different goals, right? Which also means that you adopt different trading styles. So if you try to impose the rules of investing into trading, you will fail.
[44:05] If you try to impose the rules of trading into investing, you will also fail because they are two completely different games. I guess like what I'm trying to say is that go and clearly define what you are trying to do. So if
[44:17] you are trying to trade this sort of market condition, my best advice would market condition, my best advice would be really just make sure that you manage of time price can just reverse very aggressively. So if you're looking for
[44:30] aggressively. So if you're looking for longs and you can't see anywhere to target because price is at alltime high, then consider taking profits at the first sign of reversal. Or if you're looking for short, then you might want
[44:43] to like do like what I've mapped out right here, right? Like just exiting at were to enter or sell right here to short the pick of the market, I would just get out right here, right? So, I wouldn't try to hold it past here
[44:56] is going to take out that level right there. It's like that's how you should trading this sort of market condition because there is so much volatility right now, so much uncertainty in the market. you should just be thinking
[45:09] about how to catch this small move in price. And then if you're investing, man, I know it's been a tough ride. Tust me. Like I said, I have over like what $2.5 billion invested. And I watch my portfolio fluctuate every single day.
[45:25] portfolio fluctuate every single day. And when it does, it's like up 20k, up 120k, down 50k, right? It's crazy, right? It's like it's like a roller coaster right now. But then I always remind myself that time in the market
[45:38] always beats timing the market. So if you're investing, you're planning to park your money in those good assets for the next 5 years, for the next 10 years. Then what happens on a day-to-day basis doesn't affect you whatsoever. You
[45:52] shouldn't be phased by the daily move of the market itself because your time horizon is 5 to 10 years and that's how you that's when you are planning to exit, right? 5 to 10 years later. So, why would the day-to-day price action
[46:05] affect you? In fact, it should encourage you to invest more and that's how I've predict a stock market. Like, I'm extremely good at trading, not trying to what? I'm trying to toot my own horn, right? Like, if I have a freaking horn,
[46:21] You know what I'm saying? But yeah, I'm pretty good at trading as you guys can see on my second channel, Brad Trades. I would say like I'm pretty profitable, right? I'm better than the average retail trader. So yeah, tooting my own
[46:34] horn right there. But when it comes to investing, I do not try to predict where price will move towards next. I just wait for great assets to come down to a fair price and then I just put my money there. And I do that every single month,
[46:49] right? So every single month, regardless of where price is at, whether it's at alltime high. I try to buy like during the pullbacks, right? But yeah, wherever price is at, if it's time to invest, I invest. Right? So, literally for the
[47:05] past one and a half years, I've just been barking six figures every month. Every single month, I try to invest at least 100K to 300K, right? That's just my rule. That's why when you see me make like 600K a month from day trading or
[47:20] 500K a month from day trading, I always like invest a majority of it, right? So you don't see me living like a super duper flashy lifestyle where I'm going on a yard and then I'm going to Dubai to freaking drive a F Ferrari or
[47:33] long-term game, right? I'm all about playing long-term games, right? I want to make sure that I'm really well off and I want to be like a billionaire. Not
[47:45] because like I want to like just make that billion dollars, but because I want to become the person that is worthy of the billion dollars and I want to impact a billion life. Like that's the only reason why I'm interested in becoming a
[47:59] billionaire just to make this world a better place. Anyways, hope you guys have enjoyed the vlog itself. I know it's kind of all over the place. I had no idea. It's been long since I like, you know, carry this DJI Osmo Mic and
[48:12] like just vlog myself. So once again, just let me know down in the comments if just let me know down in the comments if you guys want more raw unfiltered vlogs just like this raw trading vlogs where I just pick up the camera myself without
[48:24] some You know what I'm saying? ass stuff. Probably not going to order McDonald's the next time I actually do this vlog. Yeah, like I said, I freaking hate McDonald's. But yeah, that's the
[48:38] vlog, right? I'm about to go and wind down right now. You can see, man. Going to w down. I usually have like this light right here. It's a moonlight, right? Yeah, it's a moonlight right there. Very, very cool, Brad. And and
[48:54] then usually what I'll do to wind down is that I'll read some books, right? You can see there's books like all over the table right here. In fact, there's books Like you can see there's books like freaking everywhere.
[49:06] Yeah. I'm going to read some books and then I'm going to do a 20 minutes meditation and then I'm going to go to sleep and then we're going to wake up and then we're going to do this all over again, right? So yeah, let me know
