I'm not really well connected as we figured out in the chat. Oh, yeah. Good morning. Yes. Yes, I am. Good morning and welcome to the Saturday live cast. And if I disappear, I'll be right back. It's a fabulous, beautiful day. But people tell me it's snowing west of me. So I got a fire going in a fireplace. So I'm good. It's a weird morning. You know why? Why is it a weird morning here to go first? Well, I don't I don't have to go first first. If you would like to do. Yes, you do. Yes. But but I was I was typing that question that we were talking about and hoping to get a reply before I go. I go first. I get that needs to get out of here because she has to go mold young minds. So the important thing is I'm going to mind your like play. Yeah. She's not going last today. So I can start this off. Can you pull up the question of the week on your computer? Oh, I can. Yes, I should have known that's exactly what you meant when driving and just hold on a sec. If you want to know while Greg's doing that when when when one person says you're driving that means that they're doing the technical end of some of the stuff in the background that you don't normally see. So he's driving this morning. I'm driving. Yes. Well, I was prepared to start, you know, start the thing and turn on the music and the videos and stuff, but I haven't queued up your question. It occurred to me at one point and then I lost that occurrence and forgot. Okay. So here I am on the homepage. Where's the what's the quickest way? Down to the bottom. Bottom of the right. Bottom of the right. There you go. Adoptions. There we go. There you go. If you're ever wondering how to find the question of the week, go to the homepage and then bottom of the right. There you go. I also want to pull up this. I'll put it up here in the private chat. And then I have a couple more profiles that I'd like to pull up when they get you back. There you go. It's also hard to do the driving when you're just on a laptop. Yes. You only have one screen and you're used to having three or even two. Yeah. You're done this on the laptop. I am just prepared someday for my mind to be blown. Oh. Screens. Once you go. You know what I did? I got a I got an extra monitor for my laptop, but I didn't bring it. I thought about bringing it and then I didn't but that makes a huge difference. And I have one of those. Hospital bed tables where you can slide it under the bed. If you're sick, but I use it in the living room because I can slide it under the sofa and get the laptop really close to me. And I have a board across the back of it with, with, um, wood workers clamps holding the board and then the, I've clamped the extra monitor to the board. So it looks like the Beverly hillbillies, but it works. But it works. Speaking of Appalachia. Yeah. Hey, I have, um, we had some great answers today in the question of the week. Uh, and I want to know, Betsy, do you have any adoptions in your family? No, we do not, which is surprising. None. None. None. I'm aware. Not a. Well, I'm, it's an interesting thing to have adoptees in your family. It's, it's, it's an interesting thing. It's also could be a hard thing for a family. And there's also all sorts of, uh, stories that could go along with the adoptions, you know, bad stories, good stories. Uh, one of the stories this morning that we saw in the, uh, question of the week was. Yeah. Um, this woman, we'll talk about a minute went to board with a woman and a woman ended up adopting her. That's such a good story. That's nice. Very good stories. Greg, do you get, do you have any adoptions? I certainly do. Uh, well, I myself am adopted and I've always known that I was adopted and was adopted into a very warm, loving family and, um, accepted by all my cousins and aunts and uncles. Um, and interestingly, so when I went, when I did my first DNA test, the very first person who contacted me was my first, was a first cousin of mine. She sent me an email and said, I see we're a match. Um, I wonder if we can figure out how we're related. And then I replied back while I'm adopted. So I have no idea. I have no data to give you. And, and then her reply to my, me was, Oh, well, I'm adopted too. So it's like a blind lead in the blind turns. Yeah. So that was kind of funny. And then. Go ahead. Yeah. So she is connected. Um, she is connected. Uh, and we figured out exactly how that all happened. Um, and then when I connected with my birth family and I think I, and I pulled this story before and, and met my full brother and full sister on family day in, um, in 2018, we got together and, uh, we have stayed connected and they've been just absorbed into the larger Clark family. Um, and I think that's where biological, um, siblings have children of their own. So this was, my family is the continuation of, of the family. And, I think I shared a Thanksgiving picture at sunset of our Thanksgiving year where I was invited. I think you did that by AI. I don't think that's a real picture. It looks, it's, it's amazing how good that looks. But in that picture, I didn't actually pull it up now because I wanted to give you more time. But basically in that picture, along with my wife and I, my full brother, full sister, a half sister that we share through my dad's side of the family.  Um, so it's, well, but we're, so we're all one big family. Um, and they all, my adoptive and my biological siblings, I'll get along. It's, and when they get together, it's, it's one big party. Yeah, and, and I want to say that, um, Betsy is this as well. Um, all the people that I've worked with, uh, for years for like almost 10 years now or 11 years, all the people at wiki tree are kind of like a, uh, taking people in there, adopting people. So I feel very adopted by Greg. I also feel very adopted by Betsy. So I'm not adopted. But if you, if you think of it that way, I am, I do want to say, I want to share, um, if you could go to that profile I posted. Um, yeah, um, this is my connection to any adoptee, except I found an adoptee when we were at roots tech, but I haven't been able to reach out to him. So I don't want to tell his story without having permission. Uh, but Agnes Curran, uh, was a home child, uh, from Britain's, which means that her family, um, gave her up for adoption and went into one of several homes and this particular home she went into was a Bernardo home. Um, when I talked to that side of the family, so it is my spouse's grandfather's brother, William, who married Agnes, who is the girl in the picture on the left, uh, there. And the other fella is her brother. So everybody in the family knew she had a brother, but nobody in the family knew his story and didn't know what happened to him. The story was the story that everybody tells about immigration is that the ship made port and he jumped ship. How many times have we heard that in stories of people immigrating? So the story was he jumped ship and nobody ever heard from him again. Well, I started doing the research on him and found that he actually lived with his sister Agnes and her husband for a time. So there is a connection to him. He wasn't lost. He was always a part of the family. But this is an interesting adoption story. This is a really not great story about children that are kind of forced into being indentured servants with families because the British system wanted to clear their, their books as it were and get those children on moved out and get them into a different situation, which sometimes turned out really great. Like in the case of Agnes and sometimes it didn't turn out so great in the terms of her brother. I don't know his full story. I don't know where he is now. I don't know if he had a family. But there was something going on with that. And so sometimes that's good. Look at how gorgeous she is. The picture she and her husband. Yeah. And yeah, gorgeous. And also the currents with their, their walrus mustaches. Yeah. They all had pretty, pretty crazy good veers. So that's Agnes. And I've done a lot of research on her and done a lot of work. And I've added the home children profile. And that is a really interesting story of adoption. So on to back to the question of the week. So that's my connection to adoption. Nice. Other than I've adopted Betsy and Greg. You know, so there were lots of great questions. If you would scroll down to Lula Barrick in one of those, she has a link in the question of the week to her profile. It's down. We had how many questions? How many answers? 67 answers. Yeah. And there were a lot of people who said, yes, I'm adopted. I think they've shared their story. So if you want to read some of the ones that are in that information for theirs. So Lula Bell, let me get back to you. Lula Bell, she has a great biography, really good biography there. She was in Kansas City. She was the daughter of higher Barrick and Cora Chance. And you notice there's quite a few sources that she was. And I love the Wiki Tree browser that I can just hover over these and see the information here from some of these records. Taylor Lula Bell, funeral notes. So Lula was boarded. Yeah, this is the person that we were talking about earlier that this was a really good story that she was sent away to be boarded with Susan F. Kirby. She doesn't really go into, the backstory of why she may have been boarded out. But in the time that she lived, it might have been hard for her family to support numerous children. She's got one, two, three, and maybe the fourth child was just too many miles to feed. So they boarded her out. It was less expensive to board her somewhere. Like with the home children, it was much less expensive to send them over here and find them families in Canada or in the US or Australia. And so she lived with this Susan F. Kirby in Bourbon County, Kansas. And this was 1900. So she formally adopted her on February the 18th, 1901. So within a year coming to live with her, Lula's sister, Stella and Berek lived with Lula's adoptive mother who had married again near Englevale, Lincoln Township, Crawford, Kansas. And then Lula went on to marry Archibald the 20th of October 1909 in Wichita. So she was fairly progressed in age before she went to live with Kirby. If she was adopted in 1901 and then married in 1909, you would think she would have to enter teens at some point. She was older adoption. And who knows what the home life might have been. It may have been a rank first situation who knows. They lived in Kirkwood, St. Louis, Missouri. They lived in Arkansas and Little Rock. And then she went on to live at some point in Santa Clara, California because that is where she passed away at the age of 96. 96. That's excellent. That's a bright stage. And she's also got some research notes for the California Death Index. They've got a different birth date than what Amur could have. Great sources. And the final grade over in the see also section. I like to see that because the final grade is not really a source even with a single home. Yeah, it's way down that I move. Oh, thank you. I'm sitting here thinking I'm driving. I'm not. Is that scrolling the way you want? Yeah, a lot of times when I'm writing like the information at the very top, the third notch there for the source says that Taylor Lula Bell was funeral services. I would have slipped that down to she died. She passed away. And that is there. So she doubled up on that source. But then I would have put find a grave template with the squiggly line you say find a grave with all three words with a pipe and just find a grave number, memorial number, and it creates a little bit of verbiage. And then after that I put a comma and I paste in the burial information that comes with the find a grave. I don't normally paste a find a grave that doesn't have a burial information if it's a non burial if it's just a memorial. I may place that memorial up there if the memorial page has sources and information on it that might be helpful to other researchers and I rarely ever put that in the actual sources section. So that's a really nice profile with lots of great information to share. And it shows a lot of good ways of working with an adoptee's information. It's respectful. She doesn't go into a lot of the details about why she was adopted and there may be family Laura about what went on. For my grandmother who wasn't adopted I spilled all the beans. I put it all out there. But I know for a fact that she would appreciate it because she fought her whole life to prove who she was.  Go through, read these questions of the week, check it out see if you can figure out where your adoption story might be in your family. You might have some pretty cool adoption stories as well. And I hope I hope, hope, hope that I can tell you the adoption story in the Templeton family that I learned while I was at Roots Tech I hope that I can do that soon. I hope that he reaches back out to me and that we can continue the conversation. What I think is that my emails are probably ending up in his junk folder.  So let's do that. I'm going to pass over to Madame Betsy Co and let her have at it. All right. Thank you, Mags. And I don't think we've said it. We've said Appalachia about three times now. Appalachia. Biscuits. Biscuits. Biscuits. And I was even showing my Appalachia earlier before anybody even came in. Oh, yes. Look at that. Yeah, they were talking about snow in the area and I said hush your mouth which is a very Appalachian thing to say. Thankfully nobody was offended and people took up for me. That's Mags. That's just Mags. She's Appalachian, you know. Yeah, that's right. So let's see. Oh, look at that. Is Anne Fiora-Lisi in the chat? Have we seen her? I was too busy driving to read all the people in the chat. Well, I can hope I can drive the chat. Well, Anne, if you're here thank you for sharing this lovely photo. So April's photo theme is couples. And so they just look deeply in love. This is Billy and Bea Moss and still in love after 50 years plus of marriage and five children living in Kankakee, Illinois. Thanks to her cousin. She's not okay.  She probably didn't think that it would happen until much later in the life. Okay, well it'll be there for her on the replay. So thank you, Anne. And then this next photo I am going to go a little actually on this one I let me go go to regular size. Okay. So this was contributed by M Ross and we have James Amaziah McClellan and Anne McClellan and these are family members on her husband's side of the family. They were married June 11th 1879 and okay, you guys are going to help me. Calendon Township, Ontario. Caledon. Caledon. Okay, they were married in Caledon but by 1906 they had made the move to farm in Saskatchewan and then James died in 1925 and died in 1941 and they were buried in Vancouver and they were first cousins once removed. So, I take it her maiden name really was McClellan but really striking photo for the time so clear and crisp and I I see Anne. Yeah. So, thank you, Anne. And then the third one that came through was on the free space page. Don't forget about that free space page. This is from Christine Milt. I know, right? These are adorable. And now both pictures are just beautiful. They were married in 19... It looks like they like each other. That's an important thing in a marriage. Yeah. So, I love the smiles. Very nice. So, thank you so much, Christine. And we have one more Saturday in April. So, I know there are more couples photos out there in your photo albums. Please post them so we can enjoy them. So, then now I'm going to move to our tip of the week and I'm going to... Hang on, I'm going to go back to normal size and I'm also going to put in the chat the link to this G2G post that I am showing right now so that you can have a look too. So, this is something some changes that went live on April 1st and we've already talked a few weeks ago about how you probably have noticed now that the search output looks different. We have a table now but it's got very nice functionality with some extra ways to search and you can actually double filter. I would say that's a win in so many ways. So, today I thought that I would talk about the changes to invitations to living family members. So we no longer have to ask people if we can invite them if there was a period where it was a very circular process just invite them. So, you would go ahead your cousin go ahead and create a profile for them and as you may have noticed the important data fields there is a field for email address so go ahead and add that in. Please do not if you listen to nothing else during the tip this is important. Don't create a living profile without inviting them. We do value people's privacy very, very highly we want to give them it's their information so whether or not they want to be on wikitree is really up to them it's only fair that we offer them a chance to accept or decline. So, what will happen then let me go to this is the help page on invitations and again these are not long reads there it is in the chat go ahead and have a look at that so when you put their email address in because they're your family member they're automatically going to be able to be a family member and they will get an email that will say something like this say it's me that I'm inviting my cousin Betsy Cohen invites you to view and share family history on wikitree and then I can put in a few sentences to customize it talks about wikitree has a link to the video YouTube about what wikitree is all about then there will be a link click here to create a password for private access to what Betsy Cohen has has added talks about our privacy how we value it and it says if you do let's see if you do not create a password within 30 days then what is going to happen is that their account is going to become anonymous it's going to be an anonymous placeholder and which will look something like this and all it will be would be anonymous or living so and so and it will preserve that in the family relationship within your tree Greg answered your question we were wondering before we went on well if someone declines are you no longer than profile manager as the person who created the profile we think the answer is yes you are still the profile manager that it will still show up in your watch list but you should not make any changes and in fact if the person declines then there is going to be a template on their profile that says this person has respectfully declined so let me go back go back here they can delete the invitation but in that in that case all data will be thoroughly removed from WikiTree but that opens up the possibility that maybe my other cousin who is a genealogist will add them and invite them again so the advantage of having an anonymous placeholder profile is that you can just stop there and you won't be bothered any further and when they actually decide later on to join WikiTree and they don't know about the invitation anymore they can't find the invitation will they be able to find themselves to be able to claim the profile that was created for them I would say I mean chances are they would know the person who originally created them you know the family WikiTree they don't have it if this was a distant cousin they don't have the invite anymore will they be able to connect with their original profile that's a question that I have about this and I'm sorry I didn't give you something you can't answer but yeah I think we will find that answer out right because hmm that is interesting put in their name exactly as they had and their email that the system already has that the system would recognize them I mean my understanding of this new process is that if a person declines initially information such as their birth date and their birth place is wiped so the system would not have that to match up to profiles or a potential profile an insisting profile but yeah I mean the other thing that's possible is that the relationship within the family is preserved and therefore right I mean the way our system works we only have one biological father so if someone is saying that they are a biological father then then the system should catch that I guess Victor is asking what if they use it in email yeah I know that if they put in the name the system would recognize but I don't know but it depends on how common or unique the name is right yeah so here's another comment from Hilary about the email there the question that Victor has once you've logged in you can edit your own email address so it's not like some systems where your initial login is carved in stone you can change your email address you do have to log in at one point with that but then you can change it to a preferred one if you want to change providers yeah and I'll go back to Hilary's comment there the team usually has to merge the profiles if you have a duplicate so it would be something you would send to info at WikiTree mm-hmm right and then I'm also just putting in the chat there's a there's a separate help page for anonymous placeholders so that's the other place where you would you would want to have a look if you're you're wondering about this and I'm on the page now so as it says what's on a placeholder essentially just a last name and one or more family relationships so that that allows you know people to see oh Barry Smith already her father's already on WikiTree so I hope that was helpful and not confusing I feel like it's it's really not confusing but but it's it's hard to really experience until you walk through examples and is there a G to G post that we could send people to if they want to discuss this further yes the one that I put up initially did you see the here I'll post it again and yeah this is the place to comment with questions concerns so there it is again yep thanks thanks so if you have some questions go over there and check it out posted it again oh good good good well um do you go ahead no no we have a we have a question when you're done I have there's a question for you in the chat yeah yeah not at all I'm going to celebrate your ancestors but yeah okay just real quick and this is an easy one to answer here a question I have I have some records that go beyond the 1600s from family search but wiki tree does not allow me to add those members past a certain era that means you need to have the pre 1700 yes certification I'll ask can you post a link for that for us real quick yeah yeah what would be pre 1700s for something in the 1600s and then yeah yeah yeah could possibly yeah could be 1500 so you just need to have a certification um and it's a self certification test actually was talking to one of the DNA project on team members this past week that they needed to get it and I just said it's really it's a self test and it's easy you just have to show that you have a knowledge of being able to work those earlier um questions so it's not a 10 week course no no it's not a lie if you don't have to go back to college but it's just that it gets a little trickier uh when you're when you're working that far back so um yeah it's a good question okay and azure's on it thanks as azure is working on getting that up I would be grabbing it but I only have one computer and I only have one screen and I'm jiggly there we go there it is jiggly I'm jiggly well we have uh one ancestor to celebrate today um from alexis nelson uh and this is her first cousin once removed uh hellen bellis and um she said that she has this uh we'll look at the profile too but um this is a 1925 newspaper clipping from her paternal grandmother's scrapbook and it's a wedding announcement uh hellen had an april birthday april 17th it was just this past week happy birthday hellen uh and she also passed away in april in 1985 uh hellen and her husband love to travel and visit relatives they often came to stay at my grandmother's house it was a rooming house so we did not lack company the thing that I clearly remember is how much my grandmother mother looked forward to and enjoyed their visits so um it's really really lovely profile let me go over there now um so there is hellen also my 17th cousin and yeah um I love this wallpaper so so delicate um so she was born in pennsylvania but the family made their way to west virginia in 1917 um her father was a prominent coal operator and banker and then she married as she went to college at goucher college uh taught at the local high school and then married lilin mason brooks uh who was a well known lumberman of alarka north carolina um so there's some I I have to I have to show here's the original clipping of her wedding announcement this was my favorites of all the photos those bows oh yeah I love that that's great I wonder what they were looking at brand I mean they just look like they they must have taken so long yeah so that's amazing yeah and there she is uh hellen and mason on their 40th anniversary and this this is also there she was the oldest child so there was a period where she was an only child and there she is more bows with her sister very nice so alexis thank you so much and as with our photos of the week we have one more week in April so please send us some ancestors to celebrate nice okay are we ready for okay let me just get things it's all set up here now okay so thank you for that betsey um now we're on to the profiles of the week and the question for this week was which foodie are you most closely connected to yes so if you weren't hungry before you might be hungry out by the time we get because we're going to be talking about lots of food lots of food um and I don't have any food any snacks here megs do you have any snacks left over from the connecta thons I have tons of snacks here but they're all too healthy um and betsey what's your month today oh it's it's uh a grouchy dolladuck on my side it's happy dolladuck oh happy because I get the coffee you get the coffee you get your mousse it's it's a mousse a christmas mousse month isn't that fun that's great well I don't I don't have my tartis coffee I'm just drinking out of a water bottle because I've had coffee for the last three or four mornings and surprisingly I'm not sleeping as well through the night because I'm a little jittery so I thought maybe I should take a day off or decaf decaf coffee I like the flavor of coffee I'm horrible me too but this is caffeinated can you tell can you tell can you tell uh anyways foodies so and the the reason we did foodies is because we just finished the wikikree challenge this week with melly alexander and the big reveal was done and is that reveal happened and she loved it it got posted on youtube so if you haven't had a chance to go watch the youtube reveal and how excited she was she was super excited about not only seeing all her connections and the cc7 connections but how they got populated on a map that was really intriguing for her she also liked this yes you know who this time is do you know do you know who this time is do the next challenges I do I'm in the middle of helping are you going to be in the talk at 12 is it at 12 that's the plan leanne kruger leanne kruger go ahead go ahead sorry leanne kruger a great wikitreer also works on a couple other projects from magsnike superperson and canadian too but anyways the past wikitree challenge is just finished melly alexander the dna chef so if you're finding more about her if as has not already beaten me to it there's the link of the the gdg post for melly and then as may add the link to the review oh there she did I knew she was going to so it was great and we found lots of lots of interesting ancestors lots of interesting stories for melly we got to meet her face to face last year at roots tech so that was exciting she's a lovely person so that was very neat so the as with all of the challenges this year they also take the theme and two of those profiles they they they match head to head and the and one of the challenges of the week that they invite people to do is to see which one are you closer to and so the two famous ones that they do the connection combat with is emerald legas or nigella loss now despite the fact that I really love food and you can only see the top part of me but if you saw the bottom part it sort of bulges out a little bit and so I'm not quite up here but I carry some more pounds than I should I like food and I've always liked food but surprisingly I don't know many of these people I guess I just don't follow the right celebrity chefs I just have good good cooking locally so I don't need to go out and find it watch is there a right celebrity chef or a wrong I didn't know that wrong celebrity chefs have no idea it's whomever your taste buds and whatever your taste buds I mean growing up my mom often had TV on in the background and the one that she liked to listen to because she thought he was funny and kind of ridiculous so she sometimes make fun of him was a chef called the galloping gourmet you remember that yes I wasn't sure if that was just a Canadian thing like Mr. Dress Up or if that was a you know more broadly known well it's sort of catchy a catchy it's a certainly catchy name galloping gourmet yes Julia Charles yes oh we saw that movie that there was a Julia and Julia Julia Julia that was an interesting movie there's a Netflix documentary on her now yeah yeah that's good so the two I didn't put together a spreadsheet this week so we're going to do something slightly different though so here's the first one emerald a legas but what I can do is I can put them side by each I think so let's go to let's make him half I want to make him half the page I think probably I should take so I didn't don't interrupt the flow oh yes now are you oh you have to take off yeah yeah because I have to get to school early today so right okay well we're going to miss you I'll get you in replay bye everyone see ya see ya okay so there's our two so I don't have a spreadsheet but we can still ask the people in the chat which one of these are you close most closely related to so you can see that I am actually seventh cousin look how close that is to emerald don't ask me if I am I'm scared to bring up anything else oh yeah okay then I won't but he's we're connected through an Akkadian ancestor and actually there's a bunch of and many more kibikwa and French Canadian and Akkadian so that's our connection I'm not a cousin to Nigella at all she's from Britain she's English I think in one check Finny can herd food Finny on the topic of food he's think oh maybe there's more food in the kitchen someone just got home aha yeah so seventh cousin that's one of the closest ones I've had in the in the profile section I'm usually not quite this close so that's kind of cool anyways he was born in the 50s both of these are rock stars are still alive son of emerald John Lagasse and Hilda Maderos so his father was French Canadian from Quebec and eventually go back for enough Akkadian and his mother Maderos was from Portugal and Hilda Maderos and so he grew up very Catholic he says which is funny he worked in a Portuguese bakery as a teenager where he discovered his talent for cooking and then he enrolled in a culinary art school he also was a musician he was a percussionist and that earned a scholarship to the New England Conservatory of Music which would have been an interesting diversion but he chose to follow the dream of becoming a chef and so he did so he attended Johnson and Wales University in 1978 and which is cool is that same university gave him an honorary doctorate years later I think that's neat when they recognize their own in 1982 so he became an executive chef at various places and the nominated chef of the year in 83 in 82 he succeeded Paul Perdom who was an executive chef of Commander's Palace New Orleans so he's a very well known chef Paul Perdom he led the kitchen for seven and a half years and then he opened his own restaurant so he's got a place in New Orleans and most of his stuff is around the New Orleans area Louisiana a place called Emeralds and designated restaurant of the year Esquire Museum magazine wine spectator grand award so award-winning contributed several recipes to the International Space Station isn't that neat I thought that was kind of cool because taste gets a little boring out there and apparently the microgravity tends to deaden the flavors in space who knew so anyways he has a company in New Orleans they have five different restaurants and then at the end it talks about his marriages and what not so interesting guy and going head-to-head with Emerald is Nigella Lawson who is an English food writer and television cook a book reviewer restaurant critic her shows are Nigella Express and simply Nigella she also appeared as a judge on TV shows such as The Iron Chef and The Taste she met her first husband while they were both working for the Sunday Times unfortunately her first husband died in 2001 at the young age of 47 from cancer so that's sad and then we have some research notes here from a prominent and prosperous Jewish family also known as a television chef and journalist and there's lots of Wikipedia pages to her and she was also a who do you think you are a guest on that show as well and a link to that as well so what's the chat saying have they lots of people saying that they're related to both it looks like more are related to Lagos just based on my view of it and based on what I see the answers are so I think Emerald is the closest okay if you are that would be great but we don't know if it's for her or for the whole time for her or for everyone yes that's right so Victor is he correct in my pronunciation I would normally say they were discussing it and I don't think that we've come to a resolution for it even his first name I mean I'm saying Emeril but Emeril they're saying they think that he may have said it Emeril yeah I'm not sure I've always heard Emeril like an I sound to it I love that we have linguistics on Saturday morning well you know as I said before it's always important to get people's names pronounced their names right because that's so tied to your identity you know you the person and I agree Greg yeah anyways I agree Greg yeah thank you okay so moving on the next person the next profile is Maggie Ackerman and so we're gonna do something a little different because talking about food did you know we have a wiki tree cookbook we put together last year I think you all know because we asked for recipes here on this roundup and some of you responded we've got a bunch of recipes and let me just throw this in the chat though if I wait five seconds I know Azure would have anyways oh that's the side dishes I didn't meant to didn't mean to let's see let's do that without the side dishes which doesn't matter actually that'll just take you there there's the link to the wiki free space page which is sort of the landing place for the anniversary cookbook Azure worked long and hard putting this together it is a wonderful job but it was a lot of work but wiki treeers submitted recipes based on food that was passed down in their family or a family favorite and they attached ancestors to each of them so you can see it's broken down there's main dishes side dishes snacks and desserts my favorite part of every meal this dessert of course and this table of indices gravestone recipes that's interesting and then recipes that are named for people so all of those are aspects and when you go down you can see that they're actually all links to different pds so if you go to the which one of these is the one of these is the index no that's side dishes there we go I mean just there's the index so you can actually if you go to the index you can actually see how all the recipes are sorted by submitter so melly alexander our dna she submitted a recipe so I should definitely check out her new brunswick shrimp curry and then you could also go and they're sorted by ancestor so if you want to search by a certain ancestor you can find the recipes that way or there's by recipe name itself but also by birth decade or by birth place so there's lots of different ways you can you know slice and dice haha or search for recipes but I thought we would just sort of randomly pick a recipe attached to each person so now when I go to the birth places now Maggie is from australia I believe yes she's part of the australia project there were no recipes submitted specifically for australia so uh mags can you tell me from where's the list of all the recipes of all these recipes which one seems the most australian to you Greg the screen is so small that I really can't see that screen so I all of them all of them um lamb stew maybe no haha do we have any suggestions from mold and green salad I don't want no moldy salad okay do we have any suggestions from the chat of which of these recipes seems the most australian I like the peach cobbler one okay this kids this kids okay well let's just look at the peach cobbler one then we'll just go down to peach cobbler and uh so that would be in desserts I'm pretty sure banana salad John Piner says banana salad okay we're going for the desserts if you notice yes we're going for the dessert how would I just randomly pick oh I'm just gonna randomly pick drum shot you

if I was to answer that question I would yes you know put a hit out on you about the heart sorry oh the heart you can't answer that question can't answer that question Johannes Francisus uh brought KK I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that last name it's a Dutch last name and I'm not sure the KH and then the double K there kind of throws me for a loop I would think you'd say it brought KK KK brought KK come on Yoke Yoke is here Yoke help us out with the pronunciation of that last name Johannes Francisus I'm pretty sure that sounds right yeah that sounds good Yoke so he goes by Yoke Yoke brought KK that's so fun drinking wine when cooking the Galloping Gourmet did that too didn't he yeah I think so and so did Julia Child well I think all the best cooks probably do oh Yoke says just use the first names the first names are good the first names are good Yoke oh as in soap oh interesting I would guess that it is because it's not it comes from our family that that's where I go for our family

something like that there you go he was born in 1939 his mother was Catholic and gave him the first name of Michael his father was one of the most famous opera stars in China which is interesting but during the cultural revolution and this is very sad during the cultural revolution his father was arrested and died in prison his mother was smart sent the children away to a boarding school in London so they'd be safe his mother was left behind and she was beaten and killed in a politically motivated attack so isn't that sad? it is sad that's very sad his sister became an actress and he followed and in the footsteps married Grace Coddington who became the creative director at large for Vogue magazine so that's kind of cool their marriage was short-lived they wanted to enter business and Chinese people had two options at that time very stereotypical either a laundromat or a restaurant he chose restaurant his restaurant became Mr. Chao became quite famous of course there's a lot of pressure in owning a restaurant that affected his first marriage he's been married since then and he's been a subject of a documentary film also known as Mr. Chao yeah so sad beginning but he did triumph in the end so let's just pick a random let's go into main dishes and I'm just going to randomly pick 17 oh we got a nice fan chart for this one tinfoil ham and cheese melts oh yes look at that and it's a quite simple one look at that you just open the buns in the butter butter the inside place ham and cheese in the bun wrap in tinfoil and bake at 350 degrees very cool there's a thing where

an American blogger author, food writer and television personality she's wife of a ranching cowboy and the mother of four children the name Rhee that she goes by is of course just half of her half of her name Anne Marie and it comes from interesting she has a handicapped sibling and when that brother was unable to say her whole name Marie he just settled calling her Marie and then everyone else adopted that so that's kind of interesting heartwarming she calls herself the pioneer woman because she had she moved from being a city swick slicker to becoming the wife of a rancher and she married her cowboy in 1996 doesn't give them a name just calls them her cowboy and how did they meet that's what I want to know I don't know is it a green acres sort of thing I don't know she started blogging after her fourth child was born or was around after the fourth child was two or three years old in 2006 and 2007 and what's this blogging all about and so she went from there and then she added pictures to recipes and then has become famous ever since and then there's links to the blog and Food Network and other things where she's known as so very cool let's randomly pick another recipe from our list here let's go up to say chicken and dumplings Ancestor Bill Dill submitted by WikiTree Pam Freely a little fan chart there showing the connection and so I think the recipe must be well there's the recipe itself right there one whole chicken three to four chicken bouillon cubes two cans of Pillsbury flaky layer honey biscuits that sounds interesting biscuits two cans of cream cheese cream chicken soup some milk to rinse the cans out and then some spices that sounds kind of cool Paul Hollywood 26 cousin okay an English celebrity chef and television presenter best known as a judge on the Great British Bake Off born in Cheshire, England son of bakery proprietor John F. Hollywood he studied sculpture for a time and then began his baking career in his father's business he was a teenager served as head baker working at five star hotels in Cyprus of course found his fame as a judge on the BBC show Great British Bake Off and appearing began in 2010 and he's got other shows lots of stuff also was a guest on who do you think you are you know and his bibliography has a bunch of links there and so on so there we go have you heard of Paula it's funny I don't know why I haven't heard of many of these people have you seen Paul Hollywood before you know I I may have scanned past the Great British baking show occasionally they have scanned past them and I may have seen him on the okay okay let's pick one more main is Hollywood his real name sorry did I miss that yeah that's a good question his father's name is Hollywood I go to his tree app go to the fan chart let's just see what gets produced here Hollywood Hollywood Hollywood that's craziness back in Lancashire like it's not even California based it's before California California is even a thing that would be a fun name to chase down the entomology of now there's definitely a place in England called Hollywood with only one L right do you think it's related then is do you think I don't know and then there's Hollywood Hollywood yes maybe that's what I was thinking of yeah I don't know hmm that is interesting because of course I always things that make me go hmm things that make me go hmm okay also looking at the time makes me go hmm John Tyners says there's a Hollywood here in Ireland as well interesting like a place place place and he's heard of the guy oh good well presumably lots of people have heard of them just because my TV viewing and we don't watch a lot of reality TV at all or cooking shows things like that so despite the fact that I like eating we prefer fiction on TV how do we start calling it pairing we like to pair yeah that's right hmm Maddie Matheson is a Canadian chef a restaurateur actor and internet personality and now I do know this guy not as a chef I didn't realize he was an actual chef but I know him because we we just finished watching binge watching the show called The Bear have you watched The Bear it's very good so it's all about yeah it's all about the main character inherits a restaurant in Chicago from his brother and he has to sort of get it to revive it and there's a lot of drama that's very interesting but this character here there's a his IMDb page bigger picture of him there so that's a picture of him from the show he appears as sort of this handyman sort of friend of the family who's kind of goofy and often they rely on him to help them out when it comes to things like plumbing or whatever and sometimes he messes up and what not he's just an interesting character on the show but the cool thing is the show is all based around restaurants and he himself is a chef an actual chef not just an actor so that's kind of a neat twist yeah so let's see let's just randomly pick another recipe let's go into the side dishes and see what they look like I think I have side dishes open nope that's not I had side dishes open somewhere here there's side dishes and we're just gonna randomly pick from submitted by Margaret Summit cabbage salad there we go two eggs, some cream, salt and vinegar butter and a half head of cabbage pretty straightforward that sounds good yeah Martha Stewart now I have her ancestor tree opened here because Stewart of course is her married name because her actual birth name was Kostira her father and grandfather Joseph Kostira came from Austria Kukar from Poland she has Polish roots there lots of Polish and so that's interesting with the name like Martha Stewart I didn't expect that variety at all because of course you know unless you know the details about famous person you don't know their background especially if it's you don't know the details of Martha Stewart do you realize she's a convicted felon that I did know I know she went to prison that I knew yeah so American business woman intelligent personality she has a big you know a big brand and everything gardening, home studying, home making doesn't say anything about going prison in her biography here though I like that she is out of the box like she is really good friends with the rapper oh my gosh and I'm completely blank she like has a blog or a video cast with him Snoop Dog Snoop Dog yes she's out of the box she is not in a box that's one thing for sure that's hilarious wow that's neat well good for her good for her oh good for her good for her let's switch to cavatelli oh and that recipe is so large it takes two pages this looks good submitted by Isabel Caruso oh nice pasta look at that oh it takes some semolina green hot water some olive oil little salt mixed together on the board there and then you add some sauce to it look at that that looks tasty doesn't it yeah okay moving on we just have two more left Danny Trejo okay as a very short bio he's an American actor and I really just that seems he was the result of an extra marital you want to start your wikichu profile with that um uh I don't think he started it with that no he wouldn't have started it but I don't know I would try and be a little I don't know a little more gentle um but anyways uh this gives no hint as to why he's in this category but if we go back to the front page here uh apparently he's owns trejo's tacos and trejo's cantina so but he's a famous um celebrity and actor you recognize him for lots of things um I think old country for no men he was in we opened up his imdb you'll see there's he's done lots of stuff and then the last Molly yay I'm not sure yeah is it yay or yeah yeah I I mean I've heard it

Good morning and welcome to the week ahead video with me, David Madden. Today's date is Friday the 19th of March 2021 and the time is just coming up to 11 of 55 GMT And I'm looking ahead to next week, which is Monday the 22nd until Friday the 26th of March Now before we start discussing the big events of next week, let's take a quick recap of the major events that happened this week Earlier on this week a Wednesday. We are from the Federal Reserve Who held the dovish line? Excuse me the the US central bank raised its growth forecast for the US economy for 2021? It also cautioned about higher inflation But the set is going to be more most likely to be a transitionary increase in price increase in prices And they shouldn't be big enough or last long enough to warrant a rate hike It also seems quite clear that the Federal Reserve don't look to be Aren't going to be raising interest rates until 2024 That gave a nice boost to US stock markets. We had been a very positive record highs seen on Wednesday night Following on from that result or so a corresponding The next day we saw a move higher in yields not just the US 10 year yield Which hit 1.75% the US that's the US 10 year yield You also saw an increase in government-bound yields across the board, especially here in Europe So yesterday was a bit of a different story last night We'd a fairly sizable decline in US stocks, particularly tech stocks Tech stocks seem to be the most vulnerable to concerns over higher yields here in Europe this morning We're kind of the negative sentiment from Wall Street that happened last night that spilled over to today So we're seeing smallish smallish losses here here in Europe, but volatility is certainly tapered off in the last couple in the last couple of sessions During the week ahead in terms of some of the bigger economic events to look forward to we've had a number of important economic announcements From the UK. We have UK unemployment retail sales and CPI The employment rate is a bit skewed because of the furlough situation. We keep on that for the claimant account That's probably a better gauge of the actual jobless rate in the UK CPI is going to be important because inflation has been the kind of hot topic recently There that's been kind of the big influence on government bond yields Which in turn where they've risen this tends to ship up pressure on stocks, but also retail sales Tires are gonna be looking out for what happens in February with respect to retail sales because let's face it The January ones were absolutely awful and it's all going to be about our people going out and spending money again The other big economic events of the week We have the flash services PMI and manufacture reports from France and Germany to larger economies in the Eurozone What the recent reports have shown that this can if you know recently respectable growth levels in manufacturing Because manufacturing can largely continue to operate in the current restrictive climate Services though go to restaurants and bars and things like that has been hit hard hit hard And with that the services readings have often been quite poor. So That's going to be in focus. Keep in mind services account for about 70% of GD output in these large eurozone economies so obviously a poor service reading is kind of as a is Would obviously be bad with overall economy also in terms of economic and announcement this week We've been looking over to the US the US personal spending and retail US personal spending and income figure Think the the person spending figure is going to be the very much the main kind of driver to focus on our Americans going out spending money. These are the questions people are going to be asking Now on the corporate front, we have a number of a number of companies Kingfisher, Sydney World Smiths Group Darden restaurants over in the US Game stop GameStop and also Adobe Now what I do is I quickly run through some of the major markets some of the big Indices and currency pairs in the context of what's what's ahead next week So starting off here with the foot to 100 the foot 200 spin After having a correction between January through to through the early February It's been broadly been move a higher since we have seen the market turn over as I've ever saw slightly It's last about the ground but while we hold above this blue line here the fifth of the movie average It's likely that the kind of more recent upward trend Early February onwards is going to continue. Should that be the case? We could look at heading back up towards the mid-march highs in around 6,822 if you go beyond that we can then be looking looking looking back towards the January highs up towards 6,960 and keep in mind those highs were the highest seen since the since the kind of The pandemic and the lockdowns set in up, you know in kind of February March 2020 If you do look to kind of move back below the fifth of the moving average back below that the blue line in a 6652 we can then look heading back down towards the lows of late February in around 6464 and that isn't a million miles from the one of the moving average Well, it's it's that which comes into play at 6506 Take a look now what's going on over in Germany keep in mind earlier You know in the last only yesterday we had record highs on the German market. So The fact that we're a bit lower today isn't really the end of the world. The German market Registered an all-time I like yet another all-time I yesterday that really says a lot of us sentiment over in Germany Things are a bit more quiet today But that but that isn't really anything to be overly overly could overly Overly overly concerned about the long wick on yesterday's candle here Indicates in decision. So I'd say that that the markets going to completely turn over on itself That appears to be a doji with that it can often signify in decision not to say that the markets going to turn over on itself It just means that we could be a bit of an across roads, you know Which could be the trade sideways it might continue on in the broader upper trend or could pull back a bit But we're well above the 50 moving average in a 14,000 to 43 while we can have hold above that metric and How we continue to hold well above the 50 moving average it's like the broader upward trend is going to continue Should that be the case next best level the next big level to watch out to the upside will be 15,000 If you do even move to the downside support could be found in around here 14,400 We can see that that general area is a bit of a solidation there Not too long ago and a move below that could take us back down to this blue line the 50 moving average As you can see here active lice is the port in early March So metric has been of importance in the past and makes it more likely it'll be of importance in the future But there are no guarantees Take a look at what's going on over in Asia I Was on with the the Japanese market the Nikkei 225 Not too dissimilar to the foots you were under or by the market sold off into the market We're by the market was in a broad upward trend the recent highs Haven't you know the highs that we saw this week haven't taken up the highs Haven't taken up the highs of February, but nonetheless. We're still in at the broader upward trend notice How the the long wick and the gun on the candle here that we saw yesterday is in the two dissimilar from what we saw in the backs Well, we are firmly lower on the on the on the Japanese 225 the Nikkei 225 if we did drift lower from here We could like a finding support potentially at the fifth at the blue line the 50 to move the average in a 29,182 It's only really if you're going to go below the lows of early March in round Was near there they're about 28,300 could then we begin to think okay, maybe it's kind of broader upward trend as come Maybe it's just come to an end or we could be in for further losses and should it be the case We can look at heading back down toward this area here The lows of early February isn't too far away from the 100 a moving average in a 27,679 Now looking over what's going on with the US The S&P 500 because it's kind of relatively big tech component It took a fairly big take a fairly big It incurred fairly size of a losses in comparison with the tech light Dow Jones and obviously the Nasdaq 100 Dropped up with 3% last night. This here is a very bearish and candle on The on the S&P 500 and but the notice on today's candle is obviously early days yet But we have we have managed to kind of recoup the recoup some of the losses that that were That were set yesterday, but we're still very much Sort of very much down on the past 24 hours But that being said the market is you know the market Had an all-time high in Very very recently we're comfortably above this blue line here the 50 movie average So the broader upward trend is still very much intact If you do manage to kind of move on higher from here We could be looking at retesting the recent all-time highs and then if you go beyond that 4,000 will be the next big number traders will be looking out for if it do you manage to move lower and take out today's low Which is in around 3,908 if you go below say three thousand nine hundred Protactors data consolidation in that area recently. We could be heading back down towards the 50-day moving average Looking over on the currency front now. We got a Take a look a pound Take a look a pound versus the US dollar because we got remember next week We have UK and employment UK retail sales and US CPI sorry, and UK CPI rather So starting at its highest level and well over two and a half years back in early in late February Since then has pulled back ever so slightly But we're notice how it's still called to be above the fifth of the moving average in at one spot 38 19 That's this blue line here. Why we hold above that metric is like it at the broader upward trend is going to continue Should that be the case? We can then be like retesting the highs of the middle of mid-march in a rock Well, just just shy of one spot 40 and a movie on that could then Put the the January high or so the February high rather in at one spot 42 41 on the radar If you even if you do drop below the fifth of the moving average Keep an eye out for the one already moving average because notice how the one already moving average back in early November I could nicely support to keep on out on that metric there in at one spot 35 82 I'll also take a look speaking of the dollar also take a look because we have the US personal spending and income coming up tomorrow The very popular currency pair Euro dollar So Euro dollar and in early January hit its highest level in over two and a half years But since then it's been a fairly clear and concise downward trend So, you know, we obviously have a the lower low into February to be fair The highs of February did manage to take out the highs of January But the market moves aggressively low yet again in a multi-month loan in March And notice how it has bounced back, but hasn't really done a particularly impressive job It hasn't really gotten back above 120 yet So it seems to me that while we hold below the fifth of the moving average and also 120 It's likely that the recent downward trend is going to continue should that be the case We could then be looking at retesting the recent lows, you know one spot 18th or 18 1835 and below that back down towards the kind of one 18 zone And if you have a fairly size of break below 118, we could then be looking at it back down towards the other 116 area Now notice how remember early in the start of the video. I talked about the long wick and the doji seen What appears to be a doji on both the the the DAX and also the Nikkei 225 The the shape of that candle isn't too dissimilar from the shape that we saw here When you see a long wick like that, it denotes indecision not to say that the markets going to completely go in the opposite direction But is the possibility so notice how the That the the euro notice how the euro was making it was its way higher into early into early into late February it then pushed higher had had this formation and then what happened next as you can see with the lower low and lower high Another lower low and the the recent highs still have managed to get back above the 120 mark So that's the kind of formation is the sort of patterns you need to kind of be familiarize yourself with So what we saw about the price action on euro dollar and what's saying is no guarantees It will happen it and the German and the German market of the M of the Nikkei 225, but it is a possibility Also in terms of the corporate on the corporate front, we've got a couple of big stocks out next week GameStop as well as one of them It's been the news a lot recently Obviously it was the it's tied up with the kind of the hold of retail traders Taking on Wall Street in relation to the in relation to a number of big hedge funds had quite big positions in those companies Big short positions was either paying the price for As you can see here This the stock has had a lot of as a huge amount of volatility in the last few weeks and months We're currently the stock closed last night above $200 a share. It's still very much above It's 50 moving averages blue line here, which comes in the play at about 110 111 dollars per share The recent upward trend has been quite aggressive It's still largely in place if you continue to move on higher from here We could be looking at retesting 300 if you take out 300 we could be looking at retesting the march highs of 348 And then if you go beyond that we can then be looking at retesting the highs of January But keep my visit isn't exceptionally exceptionally volatile stock. It moves around quite a bit So if you do what it if you do trade game stock just be very aware of the swings in this have been absolutely wild And then lastly, I take a quick look at a city world a company which has been pretty much down on its luck in relation to the Lockdowns But that being said the perception is that the UK economy and the view is the UK economy is going to reopen Slowly but surely in the weeks and months ahead and someone like someone likes a city world Who managed you can survive this long to the pen to through the lockdowns They should be you should see a decent increase in demand whatever things in some shape or form go back to Normal stock has been driving higher the last few months In fact yesterday in its highest level Since since March last year so we're talking about a one-year high if you continue to press on higher from here because we're currently around 123 we could be looking at heading up back up towards the 160 mark any move to the downside Could find support from the from the hundred P mark here one pound a share and then blow that back down toward the fifth Moving average this blue line here markets on a few occasions just north of it Activeness support before to keep an eye for the fifth and moving average in it just north of 86 pence That's all from this video. Have a good training week. Have a good weekend and have a good training week. Thank you


Welcome back to the Trade Hacker Mindset. In this episode, I wanna discuss the phrase, I should have. Trading the markets can be difficult to master and seemingly just out of reach. Professional traders have a secret.  It requires the Trade Hacker Mindset. All right, so let's jump into this topic of the phrase, I should have. So when we are going through our normal course of life, I think we use that phrase a lot, right? You get home and you say, ah, I should have stopped at the store to get some milk. Or I should have filled up my gas tank because I needed to be ready to leave early tomorrow and I didn't have time to stop. And that's a pretty normal situation in everyday life, right, and it's harmless. There's nothing wrong with saying, I should have done this, I should have done that. You know, we all have those thoughts. We all say that at one point or another on a day-to-day basis. But when it comes to our trading, that phrase can actually be very detrimental to our decision-making process and our emotional wellbeing when it comes to our trading. And I see this comment or variations of this comment in our community a lot, and it usually happens in situations like, for example, when we're trading zero DTE and the stop gets hit, you know, there's always a lot of comments about, oh, I should have removed my stop. I should have moved it. I should have placed it differently. I should, should, should have. But the reality is, no. No, you should not have. If you stuck to your plan, that means much more than making a change in the middle of a trade. Because here's the big problem. If you do that, if you make that change, if you go against your plan, you have now just opened up the door to break your rules again. So if it worked for you this time, it opens up the door for you to break the rules again next time. As traders, from a human nature standpoint, we have a tendency to get really laser focused on just one specific trade. The trade that we are in right now, as opposed to thinking of it, as just another trade in the sequence of hundreds or thousands of trades that we are going to take over time. And if you are going to be a probability trader, like I am, then you have to be focused on the law of large numbers, not just individual trades. If you're going to trade a strategy based on a back test, or based on statistics and probabilities around that strategy, then you can't say, I should have. Now, if your plan is to be a discretionary trader, and your plan is that you are going to make decisions not based on statistics, not based on probabilities, not based on a back test, then hey, you can say I should have all you want. The problem is you will never know if you got lucky or if what you did in that decision-making process, in that discretionary decision-making process is real until you've actually made hundreds of trades over and over and over again. And the problem with that is that you'll never be able to scale. You'll never have the confidence to be able to scale up the number of contracts, to scale up your position size, to get to the level of trading that I think we all want to get to. Now, there's nothing wrong with discretionary trading. There are very good discretionary traders, but if you are trading a strategy based on a back test, based on a large number of occurrences, and you're constantly changing in mid-trade your strategy or you're constantly, if you go into a string of losers and you start infiltrating your mind with the I should have's, the problem is that before long, if you keep saying I should have done this, I should have moved my stop, I should have widened my stop, I should have taken profits, I should have cut my losses. If you start saying these different things, I should have, I should have, I should have, the problem is, with saying that to yourself, is you're going to start believing it and eventually you are going to break your rules. Because here's the reality. Going back to that example of if you're trading zero DTE and your stop gets hit, okay, that's it. That's what you were entitled to.  You're just not entitled to it. That's not part of the plan. We're always looking for trade, it's human nature. We're always looking for ways to eliminate the losing trades of a series and only be in the trades that are profitable, but that's not how trading works. So the quicker you can get that out of your mind, the quicker you're going to elevate your trading and become more and more consistent. If you're listening to this podcast, you understand that trading is such a mental game and trading well works against our native mental framework as humans. So it's critical that we constantly reinforce the right thoughts and the right behaviors and constantly saying, I should have done this. I should have done this differently. Based on one specific trade is detrimental to the mental and emotional aspect and the mental framework that we need to build and reinforce as traders. Because think about this. I mean, on one individual trade, saying I should have done this, I should have done that. Well, you know what? I should have held Apple when I bought it at $10 a share. I started buying Bitcoin when it was $100 a coin. I should have held all that investment that I put in Bitcoin back when it was $100. I should have bought more. Saying that is no different than the individual short-term trades that you're saying I should have done something on. The reality is we can only see up to the right side of the chart at the time that we're viewing it. We have no idea what's going to happen into the future. The market can do anything at any time and we have to respect that and understand that we can only do the best that we can do based on the information that we have specifically right now at this time. And if this trade works against us, that is what it is. There is no I should have. So while saying I should have in the normal course of life, maybe harmless, when it comes to trading, it can create bad habits and it can create an unfavorable mental framework that we need to have to be successful. Something that I've done to help this situation and I've done it plenty in the past but it's really kind of come through and shown its value here recently. So one of the strategies that we trade for zero DTE is something we call Power Hour where we're trading the last hour of the day. And what I've begun to do is have a plan, have a trading strategy backed up by back tested results that's been robust ever since daily options, daily expiration options were available. And with that plan, I simply execute the plan every single day, day in and day out. And by doing that and committing to that plan regardless of what happens for one month at a time and then at the end of the month if there's something I want to change about the plan or change about the strategy or if I wanna stop doing the strategy I'll do that at the end of the month but just that little commitment, just that little tweak in how I perceive and view and decide I'm going to execute a plan, just that little tweak, it eliminates all that I should have because I know that this is just what I'm doing.  In fact, only between 55 and 60% of the time is that strategy going to win, which means what, 45, 40% of the time that strategy is gonna be a loser. So four out of 10 times I know that I'm going to lose on that strategy but it doesn't matter because I don't really care what happens on a single individual trade. What I care is that it consistently builds profits over a large number of occurrences. Now, if you build a plan like that and you make a commitment like that you also have to make sure it is a plan you can execute and I'll tell you this from just very recent experience I tried to do something similar with a strategy that I was trading in the morning session and this is also on zero DTE strategies. And what I found is that for the month of May, for example, at the time of this recording it's the first part of June. So this is fresh in my mind. I went back and updated my strategies for the month of June, just this week. And one thing that happened in May is my morning session I did not execute as intended. I did not follow my own plan and I realized that part of it was the position size I was using. Part of it was, it just wasn't the most friendly environment for that particular strategy for the month which is, that happens. But you also, you need to make sure that your plan of action is something that you can execute day in, day out, week in, week out, month in, month out. You need to make sure that it's something you can execute without a lot of friction from a mental capacity. So I realized that, and not to get too in the weeds on this specific example, but basically this was kind of a re-entry strategy. So my strategy was to enter near the open of the market each day. If I got stopped out, I would re-enter and so forth and so on. The problem is in this situation was I was trading with a little bit bigger size. Now the risk involved was well within my risk tolerance. It was well within my, you know, based on my account size and risk tolerance and everything else. But what I found would happen is if I got stopped out and I re-entered with the same position size that I, you know, and I got stopped out again and then again, you know, two or three, it became an amount that made me uncomfortable to the point where I started making decisions that were not part of my plan. I started having these I should have's. You know, I should have reduced my position size. I should have used my old strategy that I used a couple months ago. I should have done this. I should have done that. It should have, could have, would have, right? And so you have to make sure that it is a plan that you can execute where it gives a very minimal chance of allowing those negative thoughts, of allowing those I should have's to come in. And that's part of the, that's part of the basis of getting those out of your vocabulary as well, is making sure that you're setting yourself up for success by actually trading something that's going to be very hard and difficult to allow those phrases to come into your mind to come into your vocabulary of self-talk and saying those things to yourself or to the community or whatever else. So I tell you that example. I tell you that story to also help you understand that in no way, shape or form am I perfect when it comes to removing I should have from my vocabulary or from my thought process. It happens to me and I've been trading for over 23 years. So the idea of talking about this topic, not only do I see it in the community and I see other people doing it. And so when I see other people do it, it's easy for me to say, ah, they need to stop saying that. But then when I reflect back on myself and realize, you know what, I still do the same thing. I still say that. And so this is a public service announcement that as a community, let's stop with the I should have. Let's focus on executing the plan better. Let's not focus on what could have been or what we think should have been. Let's focus on what we did and if we executed the plan, then that's all that matters. I have written on my whiteboard that I'm looking at right now, process over profits. Process over profits. When you focus on that, there is no room for the I should have. Hopefully this was helpful. If you have any questions, always feel free to drop those in the Trade Hacker Mindset channel in our Discord. And we look forward to seeing you on the next episode or we'll see you in the community.


What makes me more of a member because I've been here a long time? There are certain things that I would know because I've been here a long time. You have a sphere of influence. You have people around you.  Some that you have actually no military influence over, some that you just power of us, okay? Eugolaling, huh? How long have you liked Eugolaling? What do you like about it? How many countries have you been to who's given you this free gift to build the power of us? Now we're there and now we want to maintain it. It's not just the boss that you need to maintain it. It's each one of you to continue it and continue looking outside of yourself to say who's least likely to fill in the blank and then you decide how you want to bring them in. So you maintain that power of us, so now you remember the unit. I think there's no ceiling to how strong we can be together. I truly believe in the power of us. I think that you do receive recognition. I wanted to be with my brothers. I wanted to be God now, right? I didn't want to be an American. I'm sure as they go, my mom and dad have forced a couple on each other. For surveillance exportation, we aren't just identifying surveillance of China, so within China.  That's for real. Like it's not just for Shay. It's not just saying my buddy, who best friend, sat next to me holding my hand as I'll answer this in a few minutes. I can't see this like white bag in my head.  I didn't know what it was because everything happened so quick and it didn't even come for three weeks. But you know, there's one story of a corpsman that I had through and she was just like every other corpsman. I would tell no, she would tell me yes. All right.


Greetings everyone. My name is James P. Madonna of Megalife 21 and the Facebook group of the International Brotherhood of Polyvance and I am here to show you my new eight pound traditional Persian meals made of maple wood from RevolutionClubs.net. They were made by Mr. Christian Darce and I received them the end of last week and what I did was because I was inspired by Mr. Stefan Dogman of France, Dogman's Dungeon, the infamous Dogman's Dungeon. I was inspired not to use stain or varnish or shellac or polyurethane or anything like that. I decided to go natural the way he prefers and use natural oil, in this case, teak oil. I could have used cheaper oil. I could have went with lemon oil, linseed oil, but I used teak Watt goes teak oil. There's one called Danish oil that has the stain already in it, but I wanted to go 100% natural. What I really wanted was tongue oil, which I will do on my next project. I will use tongue oil. So let me just show you the the beauty of the natural wood grain, how it comes out with the oil. Okay hold on. I know with the other video you couldn't get a close-up look. I even did the bottom, which I know I overdid it. I put six quarts of teak oil. I waited a couple hours in between coats for it to absorb. The can recommends 30 minutes in between each coat. Then I finished it off with two coats of Scott's liquid gold spray, which I think is a very nice product. I can still smell a little bit of it. I put the last half. I wanted to finish up the can of Scott's liquid gold because I already had it at home. I have no idea how maybe my mom got it or you know I don't know. We already had it. So it wasn't a full can, but anyway I was introduced to it rather abruptly since I found it under the kitchen sink. But anyway it's a great product. So it was the teak oil. This is maple. All right so I just felt that it brought out the natural green in the wood rather nicely. I like the traditional Persian meal grooves with the part that you know sticks out.  Okay rather than just having two lines going around it. So this is the first of a whole series of traditional cone shaped Persian meals by revolutionclubs.net. Okay contact Mr. Christian Darce by email and get a price quote because the entire product line is not yet on the website, but eventually it will be. All right and that's that. This one is eight pounds and I really saturated it because I could feel the oils on my fingers. You know I know I overdid it with six coats, but I wanted to make sure that it was really well preserved being that in the United States these traditional cone shaped meals are not easy to come by.  Now I'm not positive but there might be turpentine which I believe is natural mixed in with the teak oil for the Watko brand and I think they put they might put that into accelerate the absorption of the oil into the unfinished wood because I received these clubs unfinished on purpose deliberately I requested it because I wanted to give it a shot since Stefan Dogman and I thank him for inspiring me he is the one that gave me the idea Stefan Dogman of France Dogman's Dungeon he gave me the idea of using a hundred percent natural oils on the clubs so that's that bye bye exercise safely people safety first proper form and safety over everything else this has been a mega live 21 production
