[00:16] and then I'm going to speak to you guys. Please have a safe drive today. 16 seconds to be very specific and there we go.

[00:28] Get the tinted windows up. Yes, please. All right. Now we good. Now we are like silence. All right, we're in the Batmobile right now. All right. The

[00:40] lighting right here. What better way to end of this series by being in the car that I've bought for my mom. This brand new Mercedes right here. It was my mom's dream car for the longest time and I finally purchased it for her.

[00:54] And I just wanted to really just show you guys what's possible. Right? This is actually succeed at trading, you're able to bless your family, your loved ones, give them a life that they've always dreamed of. Okay? So, let's get talking.

[01:11] dreamed of. Okay? So, let's get talking. So, welcome to the final lesson of the Market Mechanics Mentorship Series. First of all, if you made it all the way congratulations because a lot of people start things,

[01:24] that. So, the fact that you made it through this entire series already says something good about you. Very disciplined. But, remember that this is not the

[01:37] finishing line. It's just the starting line. The goal here was never just to The goal here was to give you a framework, a way to see the market

[01:49] differently, to understand price action and approach trading with much more structure, much more clarity, and much more discipline. Now it is your job to turn that framework into skill.

[02:02] market works, why price move the way it resistance levels, supply and demand zones, order blocks, flip zones, liquidity concepts, imbalance like all

[02:14] of these good old juicy market mechanics concepts, how to manage risk properly, what are the processes, the daily routines of a professional trader. That is a solid foundation to start with. You're already better than like

[02:27] 99% of the traders out there. But knowledge alone is not enough. Because the market does not pay you for what you know. It pays you for what you can execute consistently. So, what now?

[02:43] new strategy next week. I don't want you guys to be chasing another ICT concept because you got bored. I don't want you guys to continue to consume endless amount of content without practicing. What matters right now is you putting

[02:55] the reps. You spend a lot a lot of time familiarizing yourself with these concepts. You journaling, you forward testing, you back testing, you reviewing your trades, and just building

[03:07] consistency over time. Because at this stage, your growth is going to come less from learning, more theory, and instead is going to come from you applying what you already know.

[03:21] information, you don't need more concepts, you don't need more secret strategies. You just need to apply what you already know. You just need to put in more reps, be more patient on the charts, be more disciplined on a daily

[03:34] charts, be more disciplined on a daily basis, gather more data, and trust the process. The edge is not in endlessly collecting information. The edge is in executing simple things well over and

[03:48] over again. Bruce Lee famously said, "I don't fear the man who knows a thousand kicks. I fear the man who have practiced a kick a thousand times." Same thing right here. It's all about putting in as much reps

[04:00] as humanly possible, gathering so much data that is unreasonable that you do not trust your trading plan. It's unreasonable that you do not succeed. Remember, confidence comes from evidence, all right? And how you build

[04:13] evidence is by being competent. And the only way to become competent is to put in the reps. If you guys one final piece of advice, it would probably be do not rush the process.

[04:27] Do not try to become profitable as fast as humanly possible. Take your time. as humanly possible. Take your time. Enjoy the process. Enjoy the journey. Because when you eventually do succeed, which is only a matter of time,

[04:41] you're going to look back and just be really appreciative of like everything really appreciative of like everything that you have went through. going to take. Okay, remember this.

[04:55] to take. It might take you 3 years, it might take you 5 years, it might take you 10 years, but it's going to take a very long time. And the question becomes, are you willing

[05:07] to just play the long game? Because like back when I started position, I was blowing accounts, I was failing funding challenges, I was losing money consistently. I didn't know when I was

[05:21] not going to succeed, to be honest with you, right? I didn't even know if I will make it. But deep down, you know, there's this unshakable belief that I was destined for more.

[05:34] I wasn't meant to live an ordinary life. I wasn't meant to work a 9-to-5 job. I wasn't meant to be a waiter serving tables to other rich customers. I wasn't meant to live a mediocre life where I'm partying on Friday night, drinking my

[05:48] ass off to a life that I absolutely despise. I was meant for something more. Deep down, I just know it. I just know that the dream life is seeking me as much as I'm seeking it.

[06:01] So, once again, while I was going through that phase of unprofitability, you know, I was stuck in that cycle for years, right? For 3 years.

[06:13] with every fiber of my being that I will eventually succeed. I will eventually make it. I will eventually become consistently profitable. I will eventually be able to live my dream life, travel the world,

[06:26] live my dream life, travel the world, retire my father, buy my my dream car. faith, right? I want you guys to have that faith. So, yeah, just stick as long long it's going to take for you to succeed, or when exactly are you going

[06:42] you going to get funded six figures, that is outside of your control. What is within your control is how you show up every single day. Okay, that is within your control.

[06:55] So, just show up every single day, and do what's necessary. Do what's required. here. I know it's a little bit noisy right here. required.

[07:10] Okay, do the boring tasks for a extended period of time. Yes, go out there and study the charts, do your back testing, do your journaling, do your reviewing.

[07:24] longest time, right? Like, that's my best piece of advice. Because when you do that, what happens is that you are pretty much building the skill set of becoming a professional trader. You start to adopt the identity of a

[07:37] You might not see the results of a professional trader yet, but you are thinking, acting, and feeling like one. And when you change your operating And when you change your operating system, when change your identity,

[07:51] the world around you starts changing. Your trading results starts changing. Slowly you go from losing to break even to little bit profitable, and then massively profitable. All right, so don't rush the process.

[08:06] For the love of God, just keep showing up every single day if you show up every single day, you will never ever miss a lucky day. day, you will never ever miss a lucky day. How can a person who show up every

[08:19] single day miss a lucky day? The days when, you know, he miraculously The days when, you know, he miraculously managed to get funded or make 10k a month, he was there. All right, he was there on the charts just grinding as he

[08:33] always does, following the trading plan, journaling, reviewing, blah blah blah. So, remember that you cannot lose if you are focused on holding the skill set. If set of trading, you literally cannot

[08:48] lose. Think about it. What's the worst thing that could potentially happen? you go through all of this stuff, you practice every single day, happen is that you leave this industry with a skill set that

[09:04] could potentially make you rich for the rest of your life. All right, that's technical analysis, that's fundamental analysis, that's management. Even if it doesn't make you a better

[09:16] I can tell you that. All right, so master trading and you will master life. Master life and you will master trading. They both go hand in hand. I fundamentally believe that the universe is a represent The market

[09:30] is a representation of the universe. The market is simply a reflection of you. It's a mirror. So, if you do not like your results, chances are you need to change the person in the mirror.

[09:47] to take as long as it's going to take. And it's going to work out. I mean, like, what's the alternative

[09:59] that and then you go back to a miserable life. remember why you started in the first place.

[10:11] All right, just remember what is your strong compelling reason that get you off the bed every single morning. Think about who you're doing this for. Whether it's your father, whether it's your mother, whether it's

[10:24] your son, your daughter, whether it's your girlfriend, your wife. Think about who you are doing it for. Why are you doing this? Because I can triple guarantee you that it's going to suck, man.

[10:36] you feel like quitting. There's going to be late nights. There's going to be early mornings where you just don't feel like getting off the bed. You're You're tired. You have been training. You have been studying the

[10:49] charts every single day. It's a Sunday. Your friends are out there having brunch. You're tired, man. You just want to sleep in. But, you can't. Because you got a dream to pursue. Because you got to wake up and work for

[11:02] your dream life. Because you got to become a professional trader. ass. That is going to get you cooking. I can tell you that. So, yeah.

[11:17] knew. Is to just have faith, man. Have faith in the universe. Have faith in God. Have faith in the markets. Just know that it's going to deliver your desired outcome in his divine

[11:31] It's just going to take as long as it's going to take. For some people it could could have it easy. And they might succeed in 1 month, they might succeed in 1 year. But for some other people who are a unfortunate lot

[11:44] like myself, it might take them 7 years, 5 years, it might take them 7 years, 5 years, even 10 years. to succeed. So just go in with that mindset.

[11:59] you know what? I'm just going to show up every single day, focus on the stuff that's within my control, focus on showing up, doing my best every single showing up, doing my best every single day, and whatever happens, happens.

[12:15] unequivocal belief that you are going to win in this game. You are going to become one of the best that has ever played this game. When you have that belief, you

[12:27] fundamentally cannot lose. All right, you cannot lose. Now, if you learned in this free series and actually apply it with more structure, more support, and accountability, that is exactly why I built the 1% Club
