All right, Sabre Trader is welcome on back in good afternoon to all this Monday, July 18th, shortly after 2.30 PM Eastern time. Welcome on back here for our afternoon meeting.  I know after we finished up the morning audio commentary, after we finished up the phase two stock course from earlier today. I mean, it was really lackluster heading into the early afternoon, the late morning. So with that, things are definitely pretty exciting right now in the market, not for the right reasons. Markets are dropping off right now. They have been across the afternoon, beginning to fill the gap. Or at this point, I should say they've completed the gap from the weekend. So great to see Michael, Ron, Leda, Lewis, all of our longtime students with us here.  So folks, I'd said before we started the phase one, the phase two stock course just earlier today, we were continuing that this afternoon at 3.05 Eastern time, the second lesson across the July phase two stock course. We're going to really look to dig further into level three, the ECN book. Just do basically live market interacting with level three, the matrix here. And then also, we'll look to introduce officially for the phase two course, level four, book map. So it's really kind of a free flow based class. We're going to focus more on shorting. So actually for the sake of this afternoon's class, hopefully there's a little bit more continuation on the way down, we ended up seeing the spy begin to kind of just drop off from support. And really once it started to kind of pull back here at this point, I got back to my desk, I guess at a decent time. I'm not even up a lot of money or I wasn't heading into the position here. So I wasn't expecting a whole lot. Normally this time of the day is very slow and not really the best time in general to hunt for trades. But when I saw the spy turn over, I'm like, all right. Let's see what's out there. Maybe a couple of short opportunities. And I wrote it right away inside the live trading room. I said, NEO short under the VWAP and from there, it was complete perfect timing. It doesn't always crumble that way. The cookie doesn't always crumble that way. But you see the lot of my chart. Once this rebroke below 2150 and the VWAP, 2145, I ended up jumping in short on NEO. And from that point, it was an absolute landslide where it ended up dropping all the way down towards 21. Well, at this point, the spy is obviously dropping a little bit lower as we're talking. But the bigger talking point, this is the price that you got to keep your eye on for right now. Obviously, there's more than just one price level to watch for the spy. But in terms of a more short local level to watch, that actually is the close from last week, from Friday last week, the 15th, 385.13. Well, it broke under it. It moved up to it. And as you can obviously see, support initially became resistance. So we were kind of talking about that in the phase two course earlier this morning. We'll reiterate that heading into the close. For right now, let's just go from top to bottom. Obviously, markets are dropping off here.  But let's start right from the top for any of the other movers that we caught from earlier today. We'll briefly recap them. I wish I could sit here and tell you that I jumped in on the eye lag from the get-go. Because if I did, then, well, honestly, I'd tell you what. If I did jump into eye lag, I wouldn't have finished up my day a little bit earlier. I don't think I would have been on that neo trade. So either way, I was able to at least walk away with some good money there. Hey, if you ended up hitting it early on the eye lag, early after the market opened, you had no need to continue trading. I mean, right? So if you're able to hit your days, pay on this just on one trade alone, one or two trades. At that point, what's the point of just trying to hunt and really try and hit the home runs? More often than not, if you keep trying to hit the home runs and they're not coming your way, you're going to squander away a lot of that profit. So that's what I'd said before. I missed out on this ILAG. But with that, I was still looking for my day's pay, and I got it on that neo. But for right now, the eye lag trade here, this thing is not worth watching for the afternoon. The only hope that you would have is to see it just bounce off support here, which, hey, former resistance, roughly off of 335, 334-ish. That should be support the first time. It hasn't really done much since. So right now, I'm not fully convinced on this ILAG new IPO back from last week. It already squeezed up a lot from the morning, so just giving the drop-off, let's just see what else is out there. QD, same thing. News came out on this from pre-market, ended up leading to a nice little slingshot after the open to where it had pulled back towards $175. Made a nice pop from there. But from that point, the wheels fell off on this one pretty quickly. I'm sure the wheels could fall off very quickly on Sky-X. It looks like they're already starting to. Ended up running up beautifully from mid-afternoon time, right around 4.50 when I broke that resistance, pushed up just about a dollar from 4.50 up to 5.50, basically, and from there, had it pulled back down a slight amount. So just given how ill-liquid the order book is here for this afternoon's meeting, I'm not particular about this Sky-X just yet. If it ends up showing better signs of life after this meeting, then I'm sure we'll revisit it. But let's see what else is out there in the meantime. Mara, M-A-R-A. This will likely be on our side list for the remainder of this week, just given the volume it traded today. But these Bitcoin crypto mining-affiliated stocks, A, they go with the stock market, like the Dow, the S&P, regardless. And then otherwise, even if those begin to push up, it's not a guarantee that Mara is going to have the same type of volatility it had from this morning. So these crypto miners like Riot, Mara, even SOS here, Hutt, over the years we've been following these, obviously, Coinbase is the biggest at this point, but it's to say that those crypto mining-affiliated stocks do not make afternoon moves. So for right now, I'm going to hold off on them. I'm sure I'll be wrong with that assessment at some point in time, but I'll tell you what, for the last two years at this point, we've been pretty head-on with that. Those stocks have always teased us, Riot and Mara, as far as the afternoon moves that they could potentially make. So definitely at this point, going to pass on it, maybe 315, potentially revisit it, but for right now, we'll see if there's anything looking better. Coinbase, we'll just quickly look at, but one of the crypto-affiliated stocks, obviously, coming down to support off of 60. I mean, very tradable, very liquid, although the order book doesn't represent that. This stock is trading 16 to 17 million shares right now, and that's a lot of volume traded across the day for any stock that we typically look to call out here. So, hey, Coinbase is tradable, but if it was a little less expensive, I'd definitely be about it. TAL here, pretty slow, and I'll pass on this for right now. Let's see what's on the loser's side here for right now, folks, because I'll tell you, I don't think we wrote down a single stock on the main list. I said I'd come back to perhaps the Sky-X or perhaps the ILAG if need be, but I didn't write down anything yet. That's not good, so I'm sure we'll find some sideless stocks to work with, like the NEOs, the AMCs. I know AMC obviously had a great morning today, or at least up until the market drop-off. I need to get my price column out here, I reckon. There we go. All right, what else we got here? Anything looking shortable, easy to borrow, something that we could use as a nice case study for class this afternoon. This looks good. CLAR took a huge hit heading into the early afternoon from 2150 all the way down to 1960-ish, but man, this thing is getting beat up right now. A big drop-off here. I wish the order book was a little more liquid, but it's trading a lot of volume per minute right now. So I don't mind this, at least putting this on our main list, but you got to be really careful on this type of trade, just given the spread and the lack of liquidity out there. So CLAR, shortable, it's at the lows. Want to see if this is approaching all-time lows here, which you could tell it's not. Ended up having a huge run-up over the last, what, like six, seven years? This thing would have made a great swing over time, but it's not at historical lows, if anything. It's getting pretty close towards support that we had. Right around 18 bucks, you could see on the weekly, some lows there and the opens on a lot of those bars were right over 18. So $18 right around there should be a big support level for CLAR. All right, we got AVXL down big right now. Where's Leda for this? She's probably thinking I'm gonna put this on her list. I'll tell you what, it's looking all right. As far as a trend, I have a joke with a lot of our long-time students inside our classes and trading room.   My jaws to the ground. That was the last time up until a few years ago I started trading, that was the last time up until a few years ago I was trading 1,000 shares. So that was like in 2015. So since then I have not been too particular about AVXL, the stock. More often than not, it's been untradable, like not tradable in total. Right now though, it's down big. Liquidity is a little thin, but at least the spreads are a hell of a lot tighter compared to that CLAR. So you know what? I am gonna put AVXL on our watch list here. Just it's got very thin volume though. So I'd really wanna look at level four coming up and see if there's any bigger support coming up off 11. Okay, ADMA, the stock actually is shortable and at the lows of the day, but I'm not that particular about like the cheapies to look too short because unless if they're really moving fast, it's just not gonna be worth the opportunity cost. There's so many better stocks out there that we haven't even looked at yet. So I'm sure we'll find some stocks that go with the market whether up or down and we'll likely focus on those across the afternoon. Yeah, that's all I got across the loser side. I'm sure there is a lot more up and down percentage-wise too, but at this stage, let's just check out and yo, I mean it's just dropping off right now. We know at least it trades relatively good for the price. There are some other $21, $25 stocks that are like watching the grass grow. That's not the type of stock you'd wanna follow when you're heading into this afternoon. This to a degree is, to a good degree is. So I'm gonna slip Neo on our main list. I'm sure the airlines are tradable and that they usually are. Moving a little slow though.  I mean, it could be a good short. If there's anything that looks really strong up or most notably down here folks, just type it in the chat board here, let me know. Penn National Gaming had a pretty good day yesterday. Just wanted to check that out briefly. It's at the lows right now. AMC is hard to borrow. I didn't request personally to see if I can get shares, but I'd assume it's impossible. But for right now, I mean, this is just volatile. If the markets make a strong bounce, then this could be a nice trade to look at, but I'm gonna keep this on the side at least for the meantime here folks. Got Neo, got CLAR, AVXL the first or I should say the last two of those are shorts. Neo is gonna be one that's gonna be likely dependent upon which way the market goes heading into the next 80 minutes. Box D trade, that was one that we said we'd at least come back to and that now looks a lot better. So Box D we'll put on our list here too. It's up 26 plus percent. Norman Rode in the chat board just a bit earlier. So at the time it was starting to push now looking a lot better. Thankfully this at least is good for us. EVTL, whoa! This one ended up just snapping right back on up. You know, at the time it ended up squeezing up here. This was one I was also in. I was in right from the 550 price. I'd called out, I'm looking for a pop and run over 550, just a little tip folks. If you ever see me say I'm looking for something, I'm looking, I'm in it. I'm going to be in it in a matter of seconds or I'm already. So, you know, from here ended up leading to a pretty nice squeeze. I got out at 569 so I took 19 cent profit. Ended up picking up a little bit more and for right now there still seems to be some more opportunity on this trade. So yeah, EVTL looks great. We'll put this, we'll put Box D, both of those on the top of our watch list for right now. CLNN, CLNN from Friday last week, from Thursday of last week as well, trying to run back up trading nearly 4 million shares total right now and it's up over 8%. Doesn't hurt us to put this on our list at this point. Do I have one more for us? Do I have a hat trick here for me? I think that just about wraps it up from my side here folks. Last one from me and it doesn't look good. You could just tell right away the Red Box trade. I'm trying to squeak up a slight amount but not a whole lot to it there. Michael says SIGA might do an over and then back under 14. Sure, yeah, I like that. Good call. SIGA I'm gonna put on our list. It was one from the morning that dropped off quite a bit. We had our eyes on this in the phase two course earlier today. Had anticipated the drop off to short from 15. It was smooth sailing since for anyone that missed out on the phase two course. The recording of that should be on the student dashboard by this afternoon, if not right now. So I'm sure that you could just check that out in a matter of a couple of hours but not a bad call though Mike, especially at 14 could continue to hold. So it looks a little slow but I don't mind slipping SIGA on our list as a potential short. Jeff says actually getting AMC shares upon request at least this morning, oh, this morning. So early bird gets the shares, Jeffrey. I talked about that in our paid class earlier today. Hey, if you can get it at 8.39 Eastern time, you're a step ahead of everyone else. But at this point right now, if you're able to get it from the morning, that is not a guarantee that you're able to get it at this time. And plus again, folks, for a stock that is going to be a short, you'd wanna follow it that's a lot closer to the lows of the day. SIGA, a lot closer to the lows of the day there compared to AMC. NEO is technically still as a ways to go to the technical low of the day but after that initial squeeze up, there's not much support aside from pre-market, they're off 21 preventing it from dropping a lot further. So, you know, NEO looks a lot stronger and it's downtrend but otherwise, unless the stock is near the highs or near the lows looking for a breakout up or breakdown lower, respectively. I like this list for the meantime, folks. The SIGA, the CLNN, EVTL, NEO, BOX, AVXL, and CLAR. I'll type that list, obviously, to all of us here in the coming moments. From YouTube, from Dan, asking about the AFRM trades. So really quickly, it's jumped to AFRM. That's just the sideless stock. I mean, if it was dropping off a lot closer to those lows around that 2370 which you can definitively see it peeled back down first before, you know, like this is a real support to work off of, I'd say, right around there. Good sideless stock. If you do well on AFRM day to day, just like if Jeffrey does well on AMC day to day, I am sure, I am certain that he is more inclined to put it on his personal watch list. All right, folks, but aside from that, I think that we have a pretty decent list heading into this afternoon. So unless if there is a stock that you are nailing more often than not and to a great degree, I would seriously look to start and stick with this watch list here as I'm typing it out to all of us live inside the trading room. For all of us on Facebook Live YouTube, I appreciate you folks sticking with me each and every day, each and every afternoon, back in our normal seats here, at least going forward. So I know that Fausto should be back in come tomorrow morning for the remainder of this week. Any questions that you have, send over to my email address, josh at ctutrading.com. Any questions, thoughts, comments, suggestions, please let me know. And then otherwise for Jeffrey, Michael, Norman, Leda and for all of us live inside the trading room, I look forward to seeing most of us in class in the phase two stock course coming up at 305 Eastern Time for any one of us not joining me in class.

What is up you guys what is going on and welcome back to another video welcome back to another reaction video I've got one more in me for this morning. His name is Demario Davis. He's a linebacker for the new Orleans Saints This video came out Approximately five months ago. Yes, I'm late, but it's better to be late than to never get there at all And guys when I say I'm gonna do something I do it this list This list is is my main project for this YouTube channel right now, and I'm enjoying it So all I can say is I hope you guys are too Wherever you are in the world, let me know down in the comment section below man in this video Let me know where you're tuning in from what time it is what city what country and Let's see that interests me. Okay. I'm in New Zealand right now Do we have any other Kiwis?   You put a pair of dark glasses on his face right now That is T-Pain. I'm not gonna lie He's a beast man. He's fast.  It's his brother. Let's not you soul. He's just everything you want from a Mike linebacker In 2019 DeMario Davis led the Saints with 111 Yeah, now it was named first team all pro Oh, he goes in hard man. He goes in.  Okay. He he's driving his shoulder I mean with the helmet to helmet contact.  I mean that tackle right there is Literally textbook For a game of football, you know The only thing you could have done with that is to put his head on the opposite side and go in with his left shoulder But if his right shoulder is his most dominant shoulder Then more times than not he's probably gonna drive with that one In fact, let's check which shoulder he did drive with in each of these tackles Check he's just everything you want from a Mike linebacker. Does he have a preferred side? That was just straight on That's using his right shoulder DeMario Davis led the Saints with Left shoulder left shoulder when he probably could have and should have used his right so I've now seen both shoulders. I feel like no there is no Discrepancies there. Let's continue 111 tackles and was named first team all pro Man if you're getting 111 tackles, you're gonna be tackling on both shoulders really aren't you?  It's like throwing a ball. You know what I mean? so for a tackle to literally Have that technique and that power down for both shoulders to literally see someone in front of you Doesn't matter whether they're running right or left. That doesn't affect the way that you go on for the tackle That would make a fantastic linebacker, right? He also had 12 passes defenced tying Lou Keekley for the NFL lead among linebackers Tomorrow Davis was all over that one physical in the run game Taken down tomorrow But the way that he gets through there Like he's just mentioning, you know the way that he he can blitz he can get past people basically so I want to know I'll be doing him a disservice if I didn't look up his stats because he has impressed me with his quickness No doubt He's impressed me with his tackles too so he is 31 years of age. He's no spring chicken. He got picked up in 2012 by the Jets He's been to the Browns back to the Jets and now he's at the Saints he was a first team all pro last year and uh Well, we're looking at his stats. He's six foot two hundred and seven kgs a linebacker. Remember 452 from 40-yard dash. You've got a six foot two 240 pound four five 40-yard dasher Blitzing the quarterback. Okay. Who's going to stop him? Who is going to stop him someone with sheer size?  Uh 32 reps on the bench. Okay. All right Okay, DiMario Davis third round 2012 draft. He was the 10th linebacker drafted in 2012 the 10th I wonder how many of those are still in the league. I'm not going to find out But if you guys want to find out and let me know down in the comment section, that would be appreciated Let me see here September 12th 2020 he signed a three-year 27 million dollar extension with the Saints He earned that clearly the year before with his performance and he got paid once again.  Who do they put on him and how do they try and stop him? You're tired of everything you don't get Hmm Yeah, sometimes man, when you're feeling like that you're feeling this adrenaline honestly you feel You've got shivers down your spine, right And you look up to the sky and you put your hands up like that. It's like This is it. This is the feeling this is This is life. This is emotion, you know I'm feeling it right now I'm feeling it right now to be honest I feel it Pretty much every time I go for a run guys a certain song will come on And uh, it'll make me feel some kind of way and I'm gonna stop that now And um, I will run along with my hands outstretched like that palms up eyes up Sometimes I may be crying sometimes I might not be but it's the feeling and it's adrenaline and I feel that that that That burst of um of energy Where is it coming from? It's not coming from fuel. It's not coming from food It's coming from your brain It is literally coming from your brain all of that sensation that you feel during that moment is coming from here and what you what you see and what you feel So, uh, that that is why the mind and The mindset that you're in Day to day is so so so important And where you wake up and what your environment is like Around the place that you wake up is so so so important And before I left to come on the road uh My environment around when I woke up was terrible It was not conducive to my life to my attitude to my goals my dreams my ambitions It just wasn't And I had to leave This is my dad's house. I'm talking about it's just it's not working anymore. We're totally totally different people I actually thought we were really similar and we are in certain ways. We've got genetics. Okay.  I'm 30 The differences are there And unfortunately right now the differences are just too much. So for now I'm on my own I'm in queen's town I've moved here. I have literally I think I've moved here. I honestly think I have You know up to this point. I didn't really know yesterday. I decided to join a gym. It's a fight gym It's an MMA um boxing slash kickboxing moitai jujitsu Gym plus it's got the weights there. So it is like a hub. It's called a fitness facility plus fight gym And I cannot wait to get stuck in so there's one thing. There is one final thing In the year 2020 that I wanted to achieve Did the marathon did the bodybuilding did the rugby Did the van life, you know what I mean? I've played basketball here. I've played golf here I went snowboarding this year One thing I haven't done is surfing but Regardless of that there is one one thing that's that's that's stayed consistent throughout this time In my brain as a goal as a challenge and that is to train properly As a kickboxer Just to give it my all put my all into it for at least a couple of months See what kind of potential I have see if I really enjoy it And let the cards fall where they may you know martial arts is A passion of mine.  It's it's it's as it's as much of a sporting passion as a fan for me now Um as rugby and that's saying something, you know, I like rugby American football and mixed martial arts As a fan equally And that's saying something it really is So for me as an athlete at age 30 if I'm going to enjoy watching something I have to try it myself.  It doesn't matter if I walk in and I walk out half an hour later I have to try it myself And believe it or not, I did actually try it this year. I went to Thailand. I sometimes forget this It seems like it was a lifetime ago. February this year.   Have I ever enjoyed more so than That it's for a guy like this this experience I I run through my head quite a lot actually because it reminds me of of how this was this was actually the true This was the first inkling guys of feeling free true freedom And I I put myself in that situation. I did it. I made it happen because I was so desperate at the time I needed freedom. I needed to feel free. I needed to do something. I've always wanted to do you think about something every day It's not going to go away. You know you've got to do it. You've got to live without regrets within reason everything costs money Okay, if you've got certain things in life that you want to do Okay And if you don't do them if you don't get them done you know you're going to regret it But you need money to make them happen. Well put a plan in place save for six months That's what I did.  I'd go downstairs the reception I I I was staying in a hotel probably two k's away Two minutes on a scooter. I got my scooter, right? It's a free espresso machine down in the reception So I'd get my stuff on I'd pack my bag. I'd go down to reception say hello to the receptionist I'd have three shots of coffee within about a minute. She'd think I'm an absolute nutter I'd say see you later. I'm going to go and train 7.55 in the morning. I'd go outside.  I'm down at tiger moitai. Okay, this place that I'd seen on on youtube and on Throughout the ufc Years, you know, I'd seen it.  I was there and at eight o'clock each morning I was buzzing on coffee. There were different people in the class every single day.   It's excitement about Finally joining a proper fight gym getting involved. You know, it's a new community of people It's just like joining a normal gym. You you see the regulars there. You're going to get to know them They're going to become your friends And you're like-minded like-minded people that's what I was always after that's what I was struggling to get in Alice Springs and that's what I'm slowly but surely Getting in my life is like-minded people to to vibe off.  I was scared that people might think I'm not who I Seem to be on camera. I was scared about meeting someone, you know, that had watched me for years Online and then being underwhelmed at at what i'm like, but the fact is guys is I'm confident. I know who I'm getting to know who I am right now, but the fact is guys is that The fact is is that in the year 2020 I have done some Some soul searching man. I've done some growing.  I feel like 2020 has been a turning point I feel like 2020 Is a year I will never ever forget I feel like 2020 is a year that I need to write about to actually get all of this shit that's happened throughout the year out, you know what I mean Rather than talk about it on a youtube video, which is how I'd normally work through things. I'm gonna write about it I'm gonna write about it. I've got my writing pad here I've got two incredible pens that I went and bought. They're about 10 bucks each.  I'm ready to write some memoirs And I'm gonna really enjoy it. That's something I'm gonna work on while I'm away As well as continuing to make these videos and guys If you've made it to the end of this one, which I honestly think hardly any of you will have I appreciate it This has been fun This is my second morning of reactions whilst being on the road. I feel like I will be back probably within Probably within two or three days. It's Friday the 11th of December and it's 10 30 a.m And I'm coming to you from my new hometown, believe it or not Queenstown Welcome welcome one and all it's been a pleasure guys. Thank you so much for watching Peace out


Welcome folks, we have the Dow Industrial trading up $198, Nasdaq up $127, S&Ps up $38, Gold contract up $9.10, trade at $17.37 an ounce, we have Silver up a dollar at $19.80 an ounce, Lightsweep crude up $0.92, $87.71 a barrel, notes and bonds, a 10-year note, down five ticks, trading out at $115.78, we have the 30 down $18 at $132.29, that's the 10-year, still at $3.3 yield and $Kingdala. $Kingdala's down $663 ticks, trading out at $108.340, the euros at $101, the yen is out here at a price point of $142 and the British pound is at $116 to $1.00 US. You get over and take a look at the S&P folks, bottom line is that, you know, you got a countertrend bounce going here, you're going to have another contraction and volume, you know, we're going against right now $103 million and on Friday you did $76 million, Thursday you did $80 million. We'll see what it shakes out today. The NDX has really given you the numbers that this thing is really weak. If you take a look at the Q's, you know, the S&Ps weren't that bad, really, that the Q's have a big difference, man. You know, we did 56 million shares on Friday, which is pretty good. We're at $36 now, so we're going to do probably about 46, 50 million and that 50 million is going against the 69. So bottom line, you get a nervous market. In fact, if we take a look at the S&P, all the Nasdaq Q's, they both, when we came down earlier today, what you have down there is that that is a high volume low. Despite that came down there, we did 77,000 contracts inside the NQ's. The last high we just made up here had 29,000. So bottom line, your probability is that you're going to be back downtown once again as we come into this close. So we take a look at the E-mini. It's the same type of setup inside the E-mini. What you have, you're up 39 points with the E-mini right now. And what you do have is that you are basically, you know, the volume's right down the bottom, man. I mean, that's it. You get 47,000, 42,000 at the bottom. Last high up here had 22,000.  So you can see the selling is still out here and out here in a large way. King Dala, bottom line is that King Dala has stayed down most of the day, which is no doubt given the market some breathing room. Stay right there folks. King Dala's down 680, 108, 25 will come right back.


I don't make response videos. I don't think it's usually super productive or nice to make an entire video dedicated to criticizing another person's video, especially if you're making fun of them. But, after seeing a CNBC video on Trackless Trams, a topic I have thus far avoided actually discussing, I decided the time has come. CNBC is a major news provider, and so if anyone's fair game for a response video, it's them. In case you don't watch the rest of the video to put it simply, Trackless Trams are another rubber-tired gadget-bond technology, the sort which cities have been fooling around catastrophically with for decades. But the issues go far deeper than that, and so let's talk about why they're so problematic. I want to preface this video by saying that I really do appreciate that news providers like CNBC are actually willing to dip their toes into the public transit space. Even if I don't necessarily like their analysis, I don't think any attention given to public transportation is a bad thing. That being said, I did find the coverage of what I would call a dubious technology a lot less critical than it probably should be. The video uses New York a lot to frame discussion of the technology, which is fine, but what I'm going to say is that this entire video is applicable to any city, including any city that's considering using this technology. Nonetheless, I'll link the video on referencing down below so you can watch it yourself. Before I dive into specifics, consider watching this video on Nebula. I release videos early there all of the time, and it's a great way to support the channel. You can also support me via YouTube Memberships or Patreon, but Nebula really is great. The video starts with a preamble to set the stage for Trackless Trams, mentioning that few Americans ride public transportation, and that because of the major funding required for subway systems and the like, few cities actually have them, which is a bit strange when we're talking about New York, a city which most definitely does have a subway, but I digress. The video then goes on to talk about the 2nd Avenue subway in New York, and sort of makes the case that subways are just so expensive, but we should know better. The 2nd Avenue subway is the most expensive subway possibly ever built in the world, so if you want to make a reasonable case against subways as a whole, you probably shouldn't start with it. If you're curious why the 2nd Avenue subway is the most expensive by far, there is deep research from NYU going into the reasons, which I talked about in a previous video, I'll link it up here. The video then makes a bit of a leap and suggests that since subways are simply too expensive, we should just use buses, and this logic isn't necessarily wrong in the many cities, particularly in the global self, that have built successful BRT systems. But New York City is possibly the richest in the world. It just doesn't need the budget option, because moving most people on buses just isn't going to be practical with the high wages that drivers are rightly paid in New York City. And the city is also super dense, even in the outer boroughs, the sort of wide suburban arterials where big BRT might make sense just don't really exist in New York City, so you're not going to be able to build the bus highway type BRT that you see in Guangzhou or Bogota. Now the question is posed, why aren't buses well used in New York compared to the subway? There's many more bus lines than subway lines, which I found particularly funny. The main thing that discussion is centered on is the idea that since buses are uncomfortable, people just don't really like to ride them. And you know what, I don't totally disagree, buses can often be an uncomfortable and a rough bumpy ride, but it feels irresponsible not to mention the other issues with New York's buses that mean they get less use than they might otherwise get, notably that they're stuck in traffic a lot. And they aren't nearly as frequent as they probably should be. Toronto is a much smaller city, but runs a lot of buses and has great success doing that. But we already know these things, and it's a big part of why I say the 14th Street busway in Manhattan has been such a huge success. Just give the buses priority service, you don't need special buses, you don't need special paint, just give them priority and they'll be faster and more popular. All of this becomes the rationale for talking about trackless trams, which are officially branded ART or Autonomous Rapid Transit, which just feels silly. As far as I know, all of the existing ART systems have drivers when they're actually used in service, and the problematic implication made later in the video that trackless trams could mix in with regular traffic means they would definitely need drivers. No matter how many times Silicon Valley Powerpoint suggested, self-driving vehicles just aren't ready for prime time. And so one of the big buzzwords that keeps getting thrown out should not be here. These vehicles are not autonomous. Why is autonomous even in the name? Now of course there is the someday factor. I'm sure self-driving vehicles will be valid at some point in the future. But again, this just feels like trying to inject some Silicon Valley buzzword soup into a transit solution. We shouldn't be making massive city-shaping public transit investments based on maybe in 10 years technologies. I also do want to point out that while there are videos made kind of hilariously talking about autonomous rapid transit in North America, there's no mention of, I don't know, the SkyTrain system. A highly successful, actually autonomous system built in Vancouver that hasn't actually really been replicated anywhere else on the continent yet. Now I guess the argument made here is that since the buses are optically guided, that they're somehow special because drivers most of the time don't actually need to steer the bus. It just follows the lines painted on the road. But guided bus ways, such as the Adelaide Oban for example, have been around for a long time, as have optically guided systems that don't require concrete curbs at the edge of the track. And while these systems might help reduce the lateral sway that buses have that can be uncomfortable, the reality is they're not going to stop the up and down bumpiness and rough ride that all rubber-tired transit, from the Paris Metro to Val systems, and yes, trackless trams are all going to have because they run on rubber tires, which are filled with air. The next point that is worth addressing is that the technology is from CRRC, the Chinese state-owned rolling stock manufacturer. Now to be totally clear, it does seem like CRRC produces pretty high quality trains for the Chinese market, and perhaps some others. But the history of Chinese companies coming to North America to produce transit vehicles has been riddled with disaster. The CRRC subway trains produced for Boston, make sure to subscribe so you don't miss a video on that city soon, have had tons of problems, and BYD buses produced for cities across North America have also had lots of problems. And then there is the political risk that if there's an international spat, the vehicles you just spent millions of dollars on, you might be on your own for maintaining them and getting parts. But it can be worse than just buying unreliable vehicles. These companies have in the past tried to influence transit planning decisions. For example, BYD is promoting the idea of building a monorail solution for what is Los Angeles' most important new rail line. And they seem to have been pretty successful because the option of building a monorail in Los Angeles in 2022 for public transportation is still on the table. Adopting an entirely different transit route and technology based on a vacuous planning process is just bad, especially when it relies on a technology that is not widely adopted and is quite possibly proprietary. And this is my biggest issue with the new gadget bond technology. And this isn't just fear mongering or a political thing. I made a previous video about GLT technology from Pombardier and the French trans-Lore technology. The GLT is something that more than one city spent a lot of money on, and then had tons of issues with and are now working on ripping out and replacing with bog standard trams. And the trans-Lore, which had a lot of similar problems to the GLT, has been found to not really be all that much cheaper than just a regular tram, while having tons of issues from the fact that the technology is more or less proprietary, which makes extending lines difficult, something you may want to do sometimes, as well as just having a rough ride because it rides on rubber tires. Basically, there is a real chance that your innovative technology just proves out to be a dud and that you have to actually rip the system out and waste public dollars. And before you say, multiple cities in China have adopted ART, multiple cities in China have also adopted trans-Lore, and we're not exactly rushing out to go build trans-Lore systems everywhere. Now the video mentioned that ART has been called a glorified bus, which I find really annoying. No, not the glorified bus part. Yes, the ART is just a guided bus. That's what I'm going to call it for the rest of the video. But let's not slander it for being a bus. What's funny to me is just how desperately everyone wants to suggest that it isn't a bus. It runs on rubber tires, it has big internal wheel wells, and it even has a steering wheel. It might be a nice bus, but it is a bus, and that's fine. I suggest that it might just be a nice bus because it is longer than most, as is mentioned in the video, and it has nicer suspension. But that still doesn't make it not a bus. Cities around the world have been using bi-articulated buses, that's a bus with two bends that's longer than a bus with a single bend, for a long time. And they can honestly be great, even better if they're actually powered by trolley lines overhead, which the ART isn't. And they can be great, especially if they don't have to carry their source of power along with them, which the ART does in the form of heavy batteries. The reality is they just aren't some new magical technology. Brisbane, for example, is going to be using some beautiful new Swiss-made bi-articulated buses on its busway. And it's honestly pretty great in my opinion.  Instead, the project is called Metro. It's a bus. It's a nice bus. That's good. Buses are fine. What's funny to me is that at one point in the video, it's mentioned that unlike light rail, guided bus technology can easily be rerouted, since you don't need to build new tracks or whatever. That does make me sort of think of some crazy, wily coyote scheme. What if I just painted a new line and diverted the bus so that it stops directly outside of my house? But more seriously, you can't argue that it's easy to change the route on one hand while it's just like light rail on the other. Because one of the big benefits that is legitimately touted about light rail is what's known as permanence. Permanence is the idea that once infrastructure is installed, it's probably going to stick around. And a big sticking point with BRT, buses in general, is that they can be whittled down over time. You might start with a great service and lots of stations and even some dedicated lanes, but those dedicated lanes can always be converted back into general purpose ones, and stations can slowly be poorly maintained and decline. So the fact that you can easily reroute a service means that you can also easily whittle it down, and that's not a feature. To be fair, the video does do a great job highlighting that as with any surface transit option, the way you use the road space is critical. And a hard conversation is probably going to be required. Whether it's a tram or a bus or a guided bus, if you're getting stuck behind other traffic or waiting a long time at stoplights, well, you certainly haven't created rapid transit. But I would argue if you're going to have these difficult fights about road space, you might as well go all the way and actually lay the rails. When the video implies that the guided buses could mix with traffic if traffic is flowing well. That sort of suggests to me that BRT creep and the potential political allure of it is already part of the plans. The video ends with talking about how guided buses might be a great solution for New York City, particularly for neighborhoods that aren't well connected to the subway because well, subways are expensive. But herein lies the problem, with so many gadget bonds as well as Silicon Valley Tech solutions. A problem exists. Subways are expensive to build in New York. But instead of asking the underlying question of whether New York maybe just doesn't get something right about building subways, for example, why is Madrid able to build subways for a fifth the price of New York? The solution instead is to adopt an unproven technology that has promises of being a panacea and isn't widely used in the rest of the world. And that sort of reminds me of Hyperloop. How could we seriously have a conversation about spending a lot of public money on a technology that isn't broadly used or in the case of Hyperloop used anywhere and that has not proven itself at scale, which is the whole point of mass transit. Mass. This is highlighted in the video when someone makes a reference to the prior BQX plan, that would have had a light rail slash tram route operating along the Brooklyn and Queens waterfront. Someone mentions with reference to the BQX that cities around the world have planned to build light rail lines and then not because they've turned out to be too expensive. But again, this is just New York City projection. Light rail is not hyper-expensive in most of the world and so most of the world doesn't go proposing plans and then not building them. Istanbul, Valencia, Helsinki, Amsterdam, Sydney, all of these cities made light rail plans and built light rail lines. I just don't see tons of plans that are proposed and then don't get built. This is a New York City problem. And in fact, when the cost of the BQX is mentioned, $1.7 billion, it doesn't even feel that high for New York. The IBX plan, which will again create an orbital rail line in New York, is going to cost a lot more than that, but it is going to use light rail. The general conclusion seems to be that light rail and subways are hard and so instead we should build guided buses, which seem like they could be easy, though they have only been built in a few cities, so they're probably just as good. The issue here is that there is no free lunch. Build a guided bus or probably just a regular priority bus line if you want. But please, don't pretend it's replacing those other things. It's still a bus and for better or for worse, it has the advantages and disadvantages of a bus. If there was some new technology that was much cheaper and better than the transit options we had today, don't you think that some of the world's leading public transit cities like Hong Kong, London, Madrid, Paris would be adopting it? The truth is there aren't any cheat codes to good transit and there probably aren't going to be any new fangled technologies that arrive that allow New York to leapfrog its way to public transit nirvana. Building public infrastructure is hard. It requires detailed long-term plans and experience public agencies who can execute those plans at low cost, which is the absolute opposite of the vapid jumping from plan to plan and technology to technology that happens so often, not just in New York, but in a lot of North American cities. And while transit is hard, it's worth it because good transit makes good cities.


So you just created your progressive landing page and now When you go to when the lead goes to fill out their name and their email And then they hit the submit button and then they go to the other landing page or the progressive landing page after that the name is not Automatically populating over they're having to retype it in and also as they're going through the progressive landing page It's causing duplicate contact. So it's creating, you know from one lead It's creating multiple leads. I'm going to show you how to fix that in this video If you don't know how to set up a progressive landing page you go to your video tutorials right here in the action center So right here click on it Next you want to go down to the marketing section right here and then the last one landing page is Progressive so that'll show you how to set up a progressive landing page. I'm going to assume you've already watched that video All right, so let me show you an example of what I'm talking about. I'm going to create a lead in here So here's my first time homebuyer workshop Landing page and if you want to see if you go to landing pages right here So here's how I've set mine up. Basically The prospects going to fill out this first landing page once they hit the submit button It's going to go to landing page number two where you could ask some additional Information and then after they fill that out They'll go to the third and final landing page where you collect the rest of the information that way if they don't fill That way if they decide hey They don't want to fill out this information or this information at least you have a name in an email So you do collect a lead versus having a landing page to ask a bunch of questions where they don't put in anything So let's go ahead and show this process. So register now for a free first time homebuyer workshop I'm going to click register now And I'll put in Jason Sellers So right now as soon as I hit the submit button This lead will go into my contacts inside the dynamics pro The good thing about progressive landing pages is if you had a whole list of questions They may see it and just say you know what I don't want to fill this out No ex off of it. So at least you get the lead So I'm gonna hit send and then it's going to take me to My second landing page and you could design the second landing page the way you want for this For this demonstration, I just wanted to create a copy. So now it went to this landing page So now let's go ahead and go back and we'll hit register now And you'll notice that now it's asking me to put in a name again. So I'm gonna put Jason sellers Okay, so I shouldn't have to retype the name again. All right, so let's go ahead and put in a phone number We'll just put this 555 and name of your guests. Maybe you're bringing a guest. We'll put John Smith, have you applied for a loan already? No, and then I'm gonna hit send So now if they get to the neck or the third landing page and they go to click on the next information Says you're almost done. Now we want address. Okay, so they might be like, alright, this is way too much information I'm gonna close this out. However, you've already because you use progressive landing pages now You've collected at least some of that lead and you do have a lead You might not have all the information that you wanted But at least by using the progressive landing pages you were able to collect some of it without them getting off of it So I'm gonna go ahead and keep on going on here and just fill this out real quick Hit send and it says thank you. We've received your information. So now I've completed all three Progressive landing pages, but let's go ahead and take a look and let's refresh this page So now it shows that I have three three leads on here Okay, so let's go ahead and just do a search for Jason sellers All right, let me go ahead and hit search Now it shows Three separate leads I shouldn't show three separate leads because it's just that one person. All right So now what we want to do is I want to show you how to Eliminate the duplicate contact and also so you don't have to retype the first name in here's the problem that happens All right, so when we go to the first one you've set up your initial The first page of your progressive landing page and you go to the form You say I want to see the first and last to last name two fields However, if you look on the second landing page So if I go to my second landing page the way that I set this up Whoops if I go to form You'll notice I selected the one name field You have to have that you have to have that matching so whether you use first and last Name with the two fields or the one field you have to be consistent through all three of your progressive landing pages Another so that will when you select those and make them consistent all the way through the landing pages Then what it'll do is it will auto populate that over and then so that'll solve the auto populate and their names in so they don't have to retype it in and then You get you have to put their email make it required in there, too That way one it will auto populate number two The system will match up their first and last name and their email knowing it's the same same person because you know You may have to John Smith's so the system doesn't know whether this is the same leader or different leads So you want to make sure that the email and the first and last name match up So I want to require the email on this one and I'm going to go down and hit apply changes That's Number two so now I'm going to go to number three and do the same exact thing So I'm going to go to number three Go to the form and then I'm going to switch the field from one name to the two fields and then also the email Apply changes All right, so now we should be good to go on here. So let me just double check I'm going to go through the first one again check out the form two fields email landing page number two and put in the progressive Landing page go to form two fields email And you want to make sure that you make that? Let's see here number three form two fields required. Okay, so now we have this set up to Match it up. Okay, so now what we're gonna do is we're gonna just put in a different name So we'll put in Brian Smith B dot Smith at email For you calm just kind of making something up All right, so we're gonna hit send Now it's gonna send me to my second progressive landing page and Now it auto populates this so you see it auto populated first name last name and email So you got to make sure that there's all match up now. They could just start putting in there their information All right, name your guest Jason whatever and we'll hit send and then now I'll take it to the third one And it'll auto populate again. So now we're in the third one auto populates and then you could finish filling out the information and Name your guests Barry All right, and then we'll hit send now it should take us to the third Or the Thank-you page so it did so now let's go ahead and look at Brian Smith So now I might have to Brian Smith's in here as an example Let's see here. So oh, I don't good. Okay. So now I don't have three Three of the same name now. So if I click on it There we go and then it has all of the information that you asked in the landing page Under the notes inside the contact card and you no longer have So if we go to Brian Smith, there's just one contact Versus the first example, which was Jason Sellers So that's how you fix the problem of making sure that when you go from one progressive page to another That the first name last name and email auto populate over so they don't have to retype that information in and then this Is how you fix the multiple entries And now with Brian Smith, there's only one entry and it's the same person for the progressive landing pages


I like to have music playing in the background while I work. For me, the music of choice is usually the blues. I feel like there's always been something deep and dark about the blues and obviously I'm not the only one who thinks so. Music has been a part of life since the beginning of recorded time, and likely before. The earliest songs offered a welcome respite to simple villagers and monastic liturgies often had earthly secular themes. By the early days of the 20th century, jazz music was being blamed for inciting lewd and lascivious acts, even though now jazz is regarded as pleasantly sophisticated. And then came the blues. I'm Darren Marlar and this is Weird But True, a companion to Weird Darkness. It was said that the devil himself presided over the birth of the blues in the Mississippi Delta in the 1920s and he has kept a grip on the offspring of the blues ever since. It was not just the fact that blues players were black and therefore were considered a threat to the white population of the still segregated region. No, it was the fact that African Americans in those days were determined to enjoy what little life had to offer them and that often meant dancing, drinking and, of course, music. But there was another rarely acknowledged reason why white society and the religious authorities were suspicious, even fearful of black music. The blues sounded otherworldly to the whites, smacking of voodoo and African rhythm that could only be the music of the devil. One of the most enduring legends in blues history tells how Robert Johnson, the king of the Delta Blues singers, sold his soul to the devil at a crossroads on Mississippi's Highway 61 at midnight in exchange for some amazing guitar skills and a handful of tunes. In Awkward Young Man, he had been booed offstage only nine months earlier and so when he returned to the local juke joints after making his pact with the devil, the crowd was spooked by his transformation. His fame spread quickly, but at night Johnson was haunted by dreams in which the devil pursued him down a long, dirt road leading to a cemetery. These nightmares inspired his classic songs Crossroad Blues, Me and the Devil Blues and Hellhound on My Trail. The story goes that the devil only allowed Johnson to live until his 27th birthday. He was apparently poisoned by a club owner who suspected the singer of seducing his wife. He was buried in an unmarked grave by the locals who refused to put him in consecrated ground for fear that the devil would come to clean his own. When blues artists left their rural backwaters for Chicago, searching for record contracts and regular gigs, they soon found that they needed to amplify their guitars to be heard above the rattle of the elevated trains and the noise of the traffic. Electric guitars, bass, drums and amplified vocals made for a raunchier rhythm-driven sound and with it came even earthier lyrics, which enhanced the music's reputation for promoting debauchery, drinking and drugs. But the religious groups did not come out in force against the new race music until it threatened to corrupt a white audience through the records of Elvis Presley, Chuck Barry, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and many others. As rock and roll was unleashed upon a generation of teenagers who had never heard anything like it before, it was condemned from pulpits across America as the music of the devil. Society blamed it for the subsequent rise in drunkenness, vandalism, violence and juvenile delinquency. The blues, rock and roll and the devil have been inseparable ever since. For me, it's the perfect background noise for stories of murder, sin, scandal, crime and the supernatural. Rock music has evolved in many directions over the years, but the blues have remained the same. They still have that angry, wicked sound that conjures up visions of dive bars, pool halls, graveyards and an abandoned crossroads in Mississippi, where the devil just might be waiting for the next hopeful guitar player to come along, looking for fame and fortune.

I like to do these routine walk-arounds as a day trader guys we sit on our fat butt literally my fat butt all day long either trading or helping members or answering emails or pms or all that good stuff right guys so we it's like it's kind of weird like you know you start trading to get freedom you talk about freedom being able to do what you want to do and I end up freaking in my prison cell which is my office all be a nice prison but still a prison so you have to you have to find balance guys all these guys chasing money money money every day all they are left is poor with money you know you're it's like the saying goes right you're so poor all you have is money you are so poor all you have is money and that's what I felt like before M.I.C. yeah M.I.C. gave us a purpose help others as well as to do what we love great loving guys hearing you guys crush it the M.I.C. process works man you know at the core of the process is the technical analysis we call the lines but more importantly it's the risk management aspect the process includes knowing which stocks to avoid trading which stocks are best to trade for your niche which best are trade for the shorts or for the longs once again risk management which stocks to avoid knowing which stocks to avoid is half the battle how often you're like what the hell am I doing train this difficult stock all day losing and then all these other guys are trading these easier stocks so we help you identify which stocks are the easier stocks to trade for your niche am I right guys M.I.C. I mean dude that's I mean half the battle is known what stock to trade right guys knowing what stock to trade what stocks to trade which stocks to avoid half of your danger is gone rate ready when we already identify which is the hot chick which is a side chick which ones you should trade long which ones you should go short right and only that the timing I mean the time is fucking crazy take a look at the zombie zombies happen all the time so those are the things that people understand they used to laugh but you know I meant laugh all you want these are of course zombies don't happen every single day to every single sticker but remember all these are rules are called observations in science they're called an observation and it happens more likely than not you know rather be safe than sorry guys so I'll review what I did today today started actually out very slow that's not many new stocks on the ticker on on the scanner and they've already been down so I woke up today late actually dude a half an hour late and that half an hour cause me to miss a lot of trades but you know it's okay when you say you miss trades it's still pre-market trading in pre-market is different than trading in the regular hours guys because in pre-market you have to size down it's because the volume in pre-market is not as big because the album is not working hard until the open so and Robin Hood is not open till nine you know things like that so there's a lot of brokers are not even open yet so pre-market I equate that to I always use an analogy as an explorer you are the explorer like a Christopher Columbus you know going to a new area whoever wakes up the earliest there's no map there's no pre-market map you are the guy that are trading that early free market you are the one making the map you are the map maker you are the Christopher Columbus so when I wake up later sometimes I wake up a late on purpose because I'm scared I'm scared to have FOMO I'm scared that I may walk into a trap you know I'm waiting for someone to draw the math for me I'm waiting for whoever wakes up so early that they become the Christopher Columbus that they actually get eaten by the alligator and then I have the map and so the moment you get eaten by the alligator being the Christopher Columbus hero you know I look at the map and I go oh that's a spot to avoid there's an alligator right there so that's that's what you know these maps are doing for you pre-market trading let those guys trade early you know who's to know what's the top who's to know what's the bottom you know let them do it the volume is very low but they're building the chart for us a lot of times it could be the guy that's scamming it could be the algo it could be the company it could be the promoter sending this play up to sell paper who knows so sometimes waking up later guys it's not a bad thing you know so there's there's the pros and cons so you wake up a little later the maps already drawn for you you know what to do the lines are established but sometimes you do not feel the size you want or sometimes you don't feel at all so it's safe but there's always a risk reward right guys the guys are waking up early the guys are beating the Christopher Columbus they have huge risk but they also have much bigger reward than you so there's a balance between too much risk or being way too conservative and not having any reward at all where there's no meat to the bone so you find that balance in life in trading it's it's just like the lines right you don't know which lines to use you use the outer line the middle line the inner line so there's a balance between being too conservative and waiting for the outer lines all the time and never feeling or being way too early but I like to err on the side of caution I always tell everybody start one line later and you think you would that one line later it's a it's a huge difference it is a difference between stopping out at the top or being able to hold through a break so wherever you want to do just try that guys a big trick I always do is start one line later than you think because your brain always wants you to have FOMO I don't want to miss a trade I don't want to miss a trade or a lot of the guys that they do they size down the first entry I do that too just to get that FOMO in so I've been sizing down okay being knowing the range these markets these things range so much CTI be range so much and so instead of having let's say a thousand each order start doing 500 shares or 700 shares the difference between a thousand and 700 to add it's a significant amount of difference okay that means so I'm able to withstand a lot of these big run-ups you know if I size down I can now widen my stops and that's that's what I've been trying to do and becoming more patient as a result so I so a lot of times your size too much guys it's hard for you to hold even it for a winner because you're like oh shit I have too much and so when you start to exit and scale out a lot of times you just greedy you're like okay I fucking do I'm gonna get out every uptake if you're short every uptake you're gonna get out right it's cuz your size way too big so sometimes sizing appropriately down affords you to hold longer I fuck up a lot because I size a way too much and you know sometimes even if I'm in the money I'm like dude I'm gonna take the money because because I'm like I'm looking at money I'm like oh shit it's too much money it's too much money for the you know that my mind comes and starts to like mess with me like hey man what were you trying to be greedy this is a lot of money whatever right so when you start the moment you start to look at your p now all shit goes to hell guys I'm telling you right now good and bad it's the it's just the emotional response and so but if you are sized accurately if you're sized correctly properly you don't look at the p now cuz you already know you're comfortable with that size when I look at my p now it means I size too much it means that I've added to a loser it means that I'm doing things which I'm not comfortable so your body's biggest indicator of whether or not you are doing the correct thing in training I'm gonna I'm gonna repeat that because it's very important guys the best indicator that human being can have that they're doing something correctly or incorrectly is anxiety you as a kid breaking the rule curfew rule sneaking in and out your parents house you know you know that's wrong so you're you have such anxiety and stress but if you're allowed to go out you're gonna walk out the front door make as much noise as you want say hi and bye to your mom no big deal because you are sized appropriately so so use that as an indicator guys use your body as an indicator whether or not you are properly sized or even if the trade is going well if you are so nervous that means this should not be a trade for you or your size too much okay no one is going to tell you that this is a bad trade you hit the wrong line you know you hit the wrong line you know you had FOMO let your body's anxiety and stress meter help you become a better trader so I've been using that indicator human indicator myself when I feel like I'm shaking I'm like okay I'm gonna take some off I'm gonna take some off so that I don't feel like I'm in too much so that's what happens this morning that CTIB I I had a plan I got greedy I was sized up same thing with CLSN and now like oh shit man I'm size too much too early so I took some off early on purpose the moment I took some off early oh man a big relief came and I can't hold the rest longer okay so that's the thing we don't understand so indicator be human indicator what I want to do today is bring someone on it's been a while since I brought some wine you want to raise your hand someone wants to come on that that has something we're not gonna do stock picks we're not gonna you know this is a general discussion and how we can improve your trading if someone wants to learn how to improve your trading get on I will help them and we'll go through this well we this weekend what we had is every two weeks we have what's called a chart review for MIC in the Saturday mentorship program so you stand a bunch of charts and we actually go through the charts you know so that's a great program that we do for members so you guys to join just for that I mean there's just so much guys every single week we have webinars you see three guys really pick one person I have no idea who this person is Zili what's up brother so I got seen you before yeah I came on like last she months back like I don't know three four months ago are you the one from United Kingdom Scotland Scotland there we go yeah yeah yeah you had the you're doing the bars or something yeah the nightclub the nightclub there we go yeah not well not well but you but I remember last time we shot from last last year March oh shit I remember you told me that they shut you down you started day trading yeah well I kind of like going to day trading before that it's been about three years I've been learning how to day trade okay so this is perfect man I randomly pick I totally forgot your name so tell me your name Z the alley yep and then uh tell help catch us up what's going on man it's been like a year right yeah bro so it's been yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah almost a year since I last spoken what's your name in chat so I can remember again so Z Ali Z Ali oh there we go so tell us tell us the update man this is very interesting it's gonna be awesome yeah dude good about the matter this is a process yeah last time I spoke to you yeah so I'm in three years into trading so I'm joining my seat lifetime member started off first year just monthly subscriber obviously like so much so much to learn so much to take in so did as much as I can was a bit lazy to start off with but then I realized I needed to commit myself a little bit more so I needed up getting the lifetime membership kind of made me want to do more in terms of learning got a lifetime membership absolutely amazing looking forward to all this boiling over so we can come all across the pond and have some meetups and stuff and when I spoke to you last I kind of was like using my day trading account to kind of like like hold stocks when the way like the trade went wrong so I used to buy into stocks pumps and dumps and end up just holding some other some of the position so ended up having like maybe a dozen tickers just randomly just going up and down over and then decided one day to just take everything off take the hit and just take everything off and kind of like just clear my clear the account just so there's no more noise put your losses are over yep yes yes I mean I knew what I was getting better I was doing it was patience and all that one thing I want to say is circumstances personal circumstances is probably one of the most fundamental sort of barriers we will come across when it comes to trading when it comes to trying to do it a full-time sort of an income base I've been very fortunate to be able to have and run my own businesses over the years so when it comes to affordability you know I had the income to cover some of the losses I used to make through the week you know again I used to try to keep the size relatively to my sort of threshold you know just risk what I can afford to risk basically and so with this COVID my circumstances sort of changed and I found that directly affected my trading yeah there's no more income there's no more income depended upon it no more safety net no more safety net absolutely absolutely I mean when I had my nightclub and I had the regular income coming in I had a Christian out within my trading I knew that I could sort of whatever I kind of made a loss on that week I could kind of like make up with my income from my business but when that stopped with the shutdown of the business I kind of the mindset was kind of like this is I need to make money you know I need to make money to cover my losses too much pressure but yeah that kind of made make me think right you know chasing a bit taking bigger sizes just to see if I can get the yellow trade and just yellow all the way just try to try to be a hero type of thing sometimes because you know you kind of in a position where you want to like sort of make that one good trade and cover all your sort of ongoing sort of commitments and I found that to be a very detrimental thing to to trading you know I think I would say 80% mindset 80% mindset from my own experience so what what happens during that time because you started to become profitable I remember you cleared absolutely I mean you know it takes years of experience to be able to get that confidence in just taking that trade you know and being able to accept that you're wrong when it goes against you is like one of the biggest personal hurdles that overcome like the ego and all that carry on that gets him in the way and honestly like if you might see the education side of it like you know the social side of it's brilliant that the banter we have the great laughs we have the jokes they after our all that's amazing and it's great and you get to meet amazing like minded people that's all good but when it comes to like you know like learning the mechanism you know you've got you go vast vast vast information available to you anything you don't go reach out to the boys they'll help you the moderators are amazing that's fine and well you know you know you can spend the right amount of time learning the process learning all that but three years into learning how to trade like I am officially trading but the mind will always be the the biggest enemy of yourself yes yes exactly the personal circumstances if you can't afford to lose that trade don't trade like you know if you can't afford to trade with with the the capital that you're a way to trade with don't do it because you'll make the whole experience completely work against I always say if you're if you're a personal life is in chaos so will you're trading so make sure the first wife is all listen get your shit together get your shit together and and and like have your own pot of money that you can you can sort of dedicate and sacrifice on the learning process it's always going to be a process a learning there's going to be goods and the bads and like I said you've got to go through the bads to come out the good I've been through the all that all the scenarios a trader goes through over that type of period of time the three-year sort of timescale I've been through all I've been I've been frozen I've been excited I've been upset and obviously mentally you get all types of scenario playing out in your head when things go in a certain way but it's all about getting your shit together you know the you know joining MIC will teach you the process like if you have that commitment to learn you'll learn everything you need to learn but if your personal circumstances and I emphasize this to everyone if your shit ain't together there's no point in trading even if you make a few lucky trades here and there and you think you know you don't know until you prioritize or try trading over whatever else you do in life you know what I mean yep right an amazing life who's your cat room I don't well I've got guys we became really good friends but we kind of all doing our own shit and we've helped each other and it was great but like we kind of all kind of ended up doing our own thing so I think you think that do you think that's one of the reasons it's got more difficult because you you were part of that there's definitely a benefit for having a tab like some people and I'm talking about like I like to trade on my own I realized that I first thought I needed someone to be there holding my hands type of thing and keeping me right but like with all due respect I'm my tolerance my prey pain threshold as they say it's likely more than what my boys had and I respect that everybody's in a certain different circumstances and I felt like I needed to kind of be my own person in terms of risk management and I tell you what man like I'm taking trades that feel like I should be taken I don't take trades I don't I'm working so hard in my formal because my circumstances has changed I I got my shit together despite the business still being closed I went out there and grafted for the last several months while trading when I can and I got myself shit all sorted now I'm focusing like on the trading just like on its own you know what I mean I'm not I'm not yeah maybe maybe maybe maybe now you're ready for a new set of tabs that matches your profile so you can try that too yeah I mean again like I say certain people are definitely yep gonna benefit from that yep not everybody like what I am the same way regularly like regularly Patrick and Cody my boys like for life we're gonna visit each other we're gonna like you know all that's happening but right now like I've got my own personal sort of journey here like I've got like a target for myself to be able to control my emotion and be able to trust myself within within the risk management and strategy what was your current strategy that you're trying to be long I used to be long bias I've adapted the short bias and I'm finding that the short bias things working because you're risking the top you know you're risking that the high of the day and again sizing sizing is everything what you just said earlier on man if you if you don't have that comfort comfort size it's like even if it goes against like a few cents you're fucked yeah yeah so this is great I've got a trade I just take a trade just there and the other thing I do now I lock in the profits I don't let it just do its thing I lock in the profit soon as I'm in in the green like it's I'm just following that profit I'm just taking things you know I'm not like oh let it go because I used to do that used to be up at one point and then you get a squeeze and in your out right yep he is I'll be done by the time you're trying to adjust your stop loss yeah you're out and you end up taking actual loss instead of trying to break even so what I do is when I see a stock that I feel like it's it's it's doing my thesis I lock in break even you know but if I'm seeing breaking down really well I'll take as much profit you know I'll lock in I wouldn't necessarily take the position off but I'll lock in on the way there I've paid for my job so this is good so let me summarize what you said this is perfect so basically what you're telling me is risk management is the key so there's a couple ways of risk management you are risk risk managing your life that's the first step risk managing your life because you said if your life is shit I'm gonna be shit so right here this is exactly right man first you have to everything in life is about risk management you don't want to die right you don't want to die you know you're shot and do a live you don't shot and so so manage your risk from your personal life as well as your trading life and that's the key that's exactly what you heard and get your shit together and adjust your risk management listen risk management is like and this is why I'm telling you I every day you hear me scream that in the room risk matter risk every day we are not here to gamble it's fight listen it took me three years to understand risk management and and how having the right risk management in place locking in your stop loss making sure like being realistic being big you know as an experienced day trader now for me of three years I feel like I have an understanding of the price action you know I can I am following the price action I'm looking at the tape I'm looking at key points where it's telling me it's speaking to me right so if I'm if I'm in neglect if I'm denying or sort of not taking that shit serious and then and making my own ideas in my head and telling myself this is gonna do that and it when it's actually not then you're kidding yourself and you're basically gonna end up just causing yourself unnecessary losses paper cuts can sometimes mark two big losses you know and I think I think if you realistically follow the price action and you take that trade and you put that stop was a realistic figure and if it goes against you taking a loss like a man yeah we'll make you a better and then you guys mentioned it recently it's it's about how you take the loss like if you take it like a boss then you feel a lot shouldn't be a bad hey I'm telling you there there's a point of every single trade that goes wrong that you could have gotten out no problem but we choose to hold on a little longer and that's when the problem is right guys take them take the loss you know you know I used to do that I used to do that so much I used to do all the time and it did it ruins the whole the whole process it ruins the whole trading day it ruins because you're being stupid I mean there's nothing more or nothing less about it you're just being daft yeah you're being stupid you've been ignorant you've been stubborn and you just not got the right attitude when it comes to what when you stop my risk management except you're wrong you know ended at the market will do what a hell he wants to do as long as you understand that you can't always be right and when you are proven to be wrong take it like a man you know exactly right man when you start taking those losses like that you know I was right but maybe I'll be wrong next it shit happened you can't always be right it's part of the process risk management my friend well thank you for the update we'll see you in like six months and you give the great update on the next one man but you hit it right there brother yeah risk management risk management for the for the life as well as for trade risk management all the way thank you man thanks again guys for great work all the moderators and the MIC family when all this shit goes away will hold me up and we'll all have a good time for sure man thanks man we'll see you back in the room the best guys take it easy yeah how we turn this off hey there you go well so to summarize well what happened was risk management man risk management for life as well as for trades you know there's a certain point where you can take the loss and it's okay so go back to the last time that you took a major big loss think about think about all the times before you could have taken that loss before became big so that's what you got work on guys when you lose analyze why you lost okay analyze how you could prevent that sometimes you cannot prevent it you know what I mean by prevention you can you sometimes you cannot prevent a loss you already fucked up but you cannot prevent a loss right so managing that loss is the key making sure that loss is manageable and so we always talk about that so you see me start to post a lot more charts where I stopped out like yesterday right I stopped out on Sino Sino I stopped out basically for a 10 cents loss or something very minor but then I attacked it at the right spot I told the online and made 80 cents out of it you know things like that so let me take another person that I haven't seen before let me try another one Chiru I'm just randomly whoever raised in their hand waiting for Chiru 55 yeah I missed these IG live screenshots half screen you know trading guys it's simple but simple does not mean easy we know what we need to do we need to be able to wait for our lines we need to put in their stop loss we need to exit when we need to exit and not have green but but human nature man we know what we need to do it's like when you're a little kid you know he's supposed to fucking go to sleep early eat your vegetables brush your fucking teeth but you know you know I do your homework but you know it's all simple have you done that you know life would be much simpler but we we don't as human beings right for some reason we have FOMO we get anxious we think we can get away with something and that's what happens man all right so let me find another person raise who was beyond raise your hand I'll get the next guy on and then we'll end it after that who wants to get on for the IG live screen oh we have a lot of European guys a lot of Asians European Australian bunch of our moderators from actually a few moderators from Europe and Dubai this is international guys we have people everywhere all you need to do is have an internet connection and you can be learning trade stocks anybody want to get on if not then we'll can end it I'll really want to get back to CTIB CTIB is a low flow so you gotta be careful guys well I guess everybody's doing well today but you know what man hit up Tosh guys we talked about this yesterday and you saw me you probably bored of me yesterday as well we'll see you next week and online hit up Tosh Tosh text your number everybody needs any assistance in trading you know we have a celebrated program and all that stuff so we're not gonna go to that again but just text Tosh it'll help me out today on days that I go live and now let's go live we would love to give discounts for those products so alright man thanks guys

My name is Kevin Davindeti. I'm from Nairobi, Kenya. I'll be an E4C fellow in 2021, Advancing Sustainable Development Goal No. 3. That's good health and well-being, and Sustainable Development Goal No. 10. That's reduced inequalities. I want to apply my engineering skills for social good because it is an extremely fulfilling thing to do and also is fundamentally what engineering is all about. As an E4C fellow, I will be working with Build Health International who have a wealth of experience designing and constructing high-quality healthcare infrastructure that can be operated and maintained in a low-resource setting. Through this fellowship, I hope to accomplish the goals set out by our client for Wesleyan Hospital in Haiti and use the experience to be a better, more socially aware engineer.


Hi everyone. In this video, I want to cover how to add a wireless takeover module to your Pro A7 Plus panel. The installation kit comes with a replacement wall mount with an integrated antenna, the wireless takeover module, and the retention screws. The following tools will help with this installation.  Go to where the Pro A7 Plus is mounted and prepare the panel for removal by disarming the system. Remove the retaining screw at the bottom of the panel. Remove the panel by lifting outwards from the bottom. Now turn the panel over and disconnect the battery. You can set the panel aside while you work on the mounting plate. Return to the location of the panel mounting plate. Disconnect the terminal block by gently pressing down on the bottom lip below the terminal block then releasing. Remove the screws holding the mounting plate. Remove the original mounting plate and install the new mounting plate with the integrated antenna. Next, reinstall the terminal block. It should snap into place. Now we will configure and install the wireless takeover module. At the panel, remove the right side cover. On the wireless module, use a jeweler's screwdriver to rotate the arrow to the wireless sensor type that is used in this location. In this example, we selected 5800 series wireless. Insert the module into the slot on the right side of the control panel as shown here. Secure the module using the supplied retaining screw. Reinstall the side cover being careful to avoid bending the contacts on the module. Reconnect the battery. Next, reinstall the panel to the wall plate and the panel should begin to power up. Secure the panel to the wall plate using the retaining screw. During the system startup sequence, you can confirm that the wireless takeover module is enabled.
