fact that I can use the open house as an excuse to reach out to other owners in the in the subdivision. This is what I believe. I'm sharing that with you for nothing.  As far as open houses are concerned, I mean, what for me, the object of an open house and like what, you know, it's not the open house for me. It's the fact that I can use the open house as an excuse to reach out to other owners in the subdivision, right? And get to know other owners in the subdivision and try to become friends with them. Like the name of the game is how many friends can you create with property owners in the area? Whatever agent is the best at making friends with property owners in the market wins. You know, that's just the bottom line because, you know, people are going to choose the agent that they're friends with. I mean, you've heard that before. You're talking to property owners or buyers or sellers and you're like, hey, do you have an agent or whatever? Or maybe they bring it up and they're like, yeah, I have a friend in the business. I'd have a friend agent. You know, how did they become friends? Right? They became friends because, you know, they were that person's real estate agent at some point and they became friends, right? Or they met somewhere or whatever and became friends. So what you want to do is create as many friendships as possible. So, I mean, open houses right now are kind of weird, okay? Because you got COVID out there. But, you know, when all this is over with, yeah, we'll get back to doing open houses and, you know, the flourishing and stuff. I was never a big open house guy to be honest with you. However, I would use it as an excuse to call all the property owners in that subdivision. I'm just using it as an excuse. I say, hey, this is Ricky Kruth. How you doing? I'm enjoying the days and gorgeous. You know, look, I don't want to take it too much over time, but I'm doing open house right down the road from you at whatever address or whatever on Saturday. You know, I was just calling to see if you might want to stop by or if there's anything else I could do for you, right? If there's anything else I could do for you and just open up that conversation and use that as kind of the excuse to call them to kind of open up that conversation to see if there's a working relationship and somebody you can create a friendship with. That's how I would utilize open houses. So you can call the owners around the open house, you know, call like that subdivision, the next subdivision, like use it as a, as an excuse to call many, many owners. Other things you can do and that will hike the open house up right there. But when I did the few open houses that I did, I went to the property and I would do a, I would do a video on my phone or Facebook live, one of the two.  And, you know, I would create that piece of content and then I would, I would boost it to the entire area. And I had so many people come to those open houses that were like, I saw that on Facebook or I saw them, I was like, because I would ask them, you know, where did you, you know, how did you know about this? You know, they would tell me they saw it on Facebook. So I mean, that stuff works if like three days out from your open house, you do this video and then you boost it for 20 bucks a day for three days until the open house or something. It really works. People see it and they think, I'm going to go check that place out because they watch the video and they're like, oh, wow, that's a nice one. You know, so that's one thing you can do. You know, of course signage, you want signage everywhere, main roads, arrows, balloons, all that good stuff. You know, and before COVID, before COVID, I would suggest door knocking, canvassing the area around the open house. Listen, guys, the open house is just an excuse to try to meet other owners. Okay. Like this whole open house for buyers thing is played out.  What we want to do is we want to understand that property owners are best buyers. They are the best buyers. They already know everything about ownership and how to buy and you don't have to educate them. They're on top of their game. They know how to buy it. You don't have to do anything. They know what they want. You just help them get it with the first time home buyer. What do you have to do? You got to drive them all around, educate them on home ownership, go through the process, do all this, do all that, you know, they can be wishy-washy. They're scared first time. Don't know with property owners. They are the best buyers.


Hello and welcome to this presentation of the STM32 Chromart Accelerator. It covers the features of this adaptive real-time accelerator block, which is widely used for graphic computing in the microcontroller. The Chromart Accelerator offers true hardware acceleration for graphical operations. The Chromart Accelerator is built around a 2D DMA engine for fast data copy with specific functions to support pixel format conversion, as well as blending operations between two planes. It also provides specific modes for managing anti-aliased fonts. The Chromart Accelerator will offload the CPU for most of the graphical operations with a 1 pixel per cycle throughput, integrated pixel format conversion and blending. The Chromart Accelerator is fully integrated in graphical stacks, making its software integration transparent to the user. Note that this Chromart Accelerator is only available for STM32L496 for A6 devices. The Chromart Accelerator has four operating modes. Register to memory for rectangle filling operations, memory to memory for 2D memory copy operations, memory to memory with pixel format conversion for bitmap drawing with format conversion, and memory to memory with pixel format conversion and blending for bitmap or text drawing with transparency. The user can independently program all the parameters for the source and the destination, the address of the layer, including its size and position, the color format, and the way transparency is managed. Register to memory mode is used to fill a part or whole destination image with a specific color. The color value is set in a register of the output PFC. Memory to memory mode is used to copy a part or whole source image into a part or whole destination image without changing the color format. Memory to memory mode with pixel format conversion is used to do the same type of copy as memory to memory mode but with a pixel format conversion. It can copy any input format to any output format. For example, it can copy an ARGB 565 image into an ARGB 888 image without having to use the CPU. Memory to memory mode with pixel format conversion and blending is used to blend a part or whole source image with a part or whole destination image with a different pixel format. This is widely used to draw bitmap icons having transparency or fonts. For each foreground and background layer, the format can be programmed independently. Direct mode fetches the RGB or ARGB content directly from the memory. Indirect mode uses an intermediate color lookup table to determine the color to be used during the copy or blending operation. All the input color modes are transformed internally into ARGB 888 format to perform the blending operation. Specific modes can be used to efficiently manage texts and fonts. Only the transparency value is stored in memory for rendering anti-aliased fonts. The color is added during the pixel format conversion process and can be programmed by the user. These modes are very efficient for storing high quality bitmap fonts. The output pixel format converter generates the color for the destination independently from the source. There is no indirect mode in output as this would imply having to calculate a color lookup table or CLUT. Nevertheless, memory-to-memory operations without pixel format conversion or PFC can copy data independently of their formats. The fully hardware blender blends a foreground image and a background image with transparency. This can be used to draw bitmap images of any shape with a perfect rendering. One pixel is generated per cycle making this complex operation much more efficient than if it was done by the CPU. The resulting pixel can be coded independently from the source thanks to the output pixel format converter. The output configuration defines the working area for the Cromart operation. The address and the line offset parameters are used to select which sub-area of the output is concerned. The background and foreground layers have their own configuration for address, line offset and color format. This defines which area of the foreground and background layers are targeted by the Cromart operations. The Cromart accelerator has six interrupt sources to signal configuration errors. CLUT transfer complete. CLUT access error. Watermark reached during a transfer. Transfer complete and transfer error. No DMA trigger is used as the Cromart accelerator embeds its own DMA. The Cromart accelerator is active in run, sleep, low power run and low power sleep modes. In stop zero, stop one or stop two modes, the Cromart accelerator is not available but the contents of its registers are kept. In standby or shutdown modes, the Cromart accelerator is powered down and must be re-initialized when returning to a higher power state afterwards. The Cromart accelerator is widely used in any graphical application to compute the frame buffer without any CPU load and with a very efficient throughput. It can compose the whole scene with transparency and facilitate the management of animations. Strendering is also accelerated, making it easy and efficient to manage anti-aliased fonts. You can refer to the trainings related to the RCC and interrupts for additional information.


Hey guys just Nate aka The Foot Accountant welcome back to the channel we have a market kind of situation to talk about in today's video because I think it might be time to sell a few cards because prices looking into this next week with footies on the horizon I really think prices are going to start dropping once again like they did last week so if you want to be a little bit ahead of the curve it might be better to sell sooner rather than later that is if you're still worried about coins in July on this game we'll talk through all of that in this video and of course it's a Sunday that means mini release day three more shapes if there's coming into packs today we know who they are based off the leaks we'll take a look at those and of course Sundays usually mean icon player pick day we've had the 92 plus player pick now two weeks in a row hopefully we either get it repeatable today like unlimited times or they give us a brand new moments player pick we also need to talk about fodder because it is looking tasty once again price wise especially on the low tier the cheap stuff is looking really really low or the lower rated fodder so I want to take a look at all of that and of course kind of cover the market and actually I didn't even talk about it in yesterday's video but talk about literally my best pack pull of the shapes if there's promo and 99 messy yes you guys have probably seen it but we'll talk about that a little bit as well and yeah if you're interested in the market at this stage of the game I mean it's definitely not wrong to be interested in the market at all because I know a lot of people coins are coins on this game and coins are king right if you don't have coins then you don't have the ability to interact and do sbcs and interact with the content basically right so it is very important to have coins at this stage of the game if I could type out the Natale here I would look at his price but I think that if you are still trying to have some fun in the end game on FIFA paying attention to the market at least a little bit of the stage of the game is still pretty important because if you just drain your club dry and have nothing to no coins nothing to do I mean there's still great content that's going to be coming out like 85 times 10s we are we are one week away from footies which is going to release some of the best sbc content player wise that we will see you know all year long it's just a great promo in that regard so you got to have coins to do that right and if today's video helps you out by maybe saving you two three hundred thousand coins by selling your team maybe a couple days early before prices continue to drop throughout the week that's pretty crucial I think so we're going to talk a lot about that today let's get right into it if you're enjoying the videos hit the thumbs up subscribe if you knew all that good stuff let's look at some prices and talk about why I think it might be a time to sell some cards in this game well you guys remember what we had happened last week right when we had the footies leaks and I'm going to take a look at a graph here we're going to take a look at El Shirawi's shapeshifters card graph last week when we had the whole leaks and everything El Shirawi went from 292,000 coins it was 200k right 290 he went all the way down to like 260 in the two or three day span when those leaks were happening he probably even went lower he bounced back a little bit because of course the leaks were you know no longer there but now look where El Shirawi is he went from 260 on Friday even 230 but like 260 was his kind of price on Friday he's now back to like 290,000 coins that's really how a lot of the market looks right now a lot of your out-of-pack special cards Ramos 1.5 mil that is up Marcello is 3.7 that's down a little bit right but that is up from where he was even you look at a guy like Tots Neymar who was down on Friday like he went from 3.9 mil 3.6 mil we started having the footies leaks he died all the way to 3.1 and he's now back up into the 3.2 million coin range he was there like all day yesterday 3.27 Friday he went from 3.1 to 3.2 so a lot of the market is bounced back not a ton but just a little bit and I think what this might be is just an opportunity where people are using cards in their teams they're playing with items they've got a lot of packs that they opened this last week and they're just focused on like the shape shifters the summer swaps and all this sort of stuff and playing the game with the new cards that they've gotten I think it's a great opportunity to actually take the cash and while the content in this game has not been that great when the content does become great and when we have these footies leaks starting to happen later on this week I mean as early as tomorrow on Monday we might get more information on footies maybe at least Tuesday Wednesday for sure Wednesday I would expect a loading screen for footies they've been doing the loading screens recently so I would expect to see that then but I really think that just taking a look at what you have in your club and in your team right now it might be a good idea to take to take the cash on some of these cards whether it's an out-of-packs shape shifter card like the Ramos that we were just talking about and looking at if you if you remember kind of the cards that were hit the most in price last week a lot of team of the season a lot of shape shifter cards really dropped in price because that's kind of where people are at right now with their teams right those are the cards that people are kind of using the most I even remember last week trading with like a Coutinho Coutinho's fantasy foot card went from like 1.2 million coins all the way down to like 800k or something crazy like this I don't even know where he's at right now but these are cards that I would imagine he's back up to a mill right so he's he's risen over 100,000 coins from where he was a lot of these cards are going to go back down later in the week so if it saves you 20-30,000 coins on a card and you're done with your weekend league and it doesn't matter to you that if if you have the card in your club or not if you wouldn't run a tradeable squad for the rest this week then I would say go for it because again like I said you might be like Nate why would I care about saving my coins at this stage of the game it's July I want to use the players that I want to use I want 100% get that and I I do agree with that that you want to have fun but also for some people fun at this stage of the game is also doing a lot of SBCs and if they are you know losing two or three 400,000 coins on their team in the next week and you know you're going to have less fun doing SBCs when you have less coins in two weeks when footies is going strong and you're like man I wish I had coins to do all these SBCs so I know that's the first thing people are going to think about is Nate why do I care about the market at this stage you know I just think this is more of a heads up video it's not a you have to sell right now prices might stay like this for you know today on Sunday Monday Tuesday it really just depends on a the leaks because when the footies information starts rolling again that's the key here for all of this stuff when the footies tweets when foot sheriff starts tweeting about footies and information about that he's already sprinkled a few things here and there but when it really becomes player leaks and more information we already know that we're getting a vote for footies and that might even come before Friday this next week that's why I think with all that hype starting to build I just feel like it's a decent time to take the cash on some of this stuff if you're worried about it so that's the gist of you know me talking about price on this market right now prices are up right we take a look at a lot of things stuff is not gone back to where it was before all the footies panic but it is back up a little bit I think it's just it's a solid time to take the money that's the bottom line that's the moral of the story so that's what we're looking at with the market right now let's talk about today on Sunday with content because yesterday on Saturday was it was a pretty slow day we had an objective player and we did have an SBC so I wondered if it would be like no SBC day yesterday but they actually did drop one Ricardo Pereta four star four star hi hi Portuguese left back in the pram a lot of people I think are looking at this card as a replacement for João Cancelo he's only a hundred thousand coins to do and as you would expect João Cancelo's card yesterday did take a pretty massive hit in price from 320,000 coins all the way down to 214 which is where he resides right now under 220k and the reason why his price dropped is again a new card with basically the same links just not Manchester City links the Ricardo Perea in my opinion it doesn't have the five star weak foot and it's it's basically a carbon copy of this Cancelo card they are very very close in terms of the stats in terms of how the card works I believe they are both high high unique body type for Perea you know and he's only a hundred thousand coins he's one squad to do I think a lot of people just said yesterday hey I'm gonna go replace the Cancelo who I've been using for a couple weeks now he's actually been out in the game for over a month right still a great card insane item but this Ricardo Perea provides a cheaper option that's untradable that you don't have to worry about losing coins on so obviously some people lost coins on Cancelo yesterday but I think that Ricardo Perea was a nice SBC but that was kind of all the content that we had we did have the Iago but people are not very happy about that one the left forward card so I don't know if there's any other shape shifter player SBCs that are going to be dropped today on Sunday we don't have any leaks we usually haven't been getting player SBCs on Sundays I believe as well they kind of shift things more towards like the icon player pick content and the mini release and speaking of the mini release we are expecting three new cards today that'll be a part of content the first one I'll hide my camera here for a second is going to be Mr. Tim Cahill that looks like a really insane card I believe these are the official stats as well club 90 with his lowest stat being 90 passing this card right here is going to be pretty nuts he's the only hero shape shifter we're getting today we will also be getting the left wing David Silva and the right back from Leipzig Haidara some interesting links there for like an incuncu or something along those lines if you need any of those links still that could be a nice bonus thing a right back so those should be the three cards in the mini release that we have today I would imagine Haidara David Silva going to be very cheap hopefully David Silva has five star skills and Cahill as well I mean I think he's going to be decently cheap if you take a look at the rest of this team I mean your other you Cordoba is 300 right Joe Cole is 325 Dempsey is 84k a lot of your hero shapeshifters from team three were really cheap Unberg Gomez Morientes they're up a little bit out of packs that's another thing I would say is like these guys rising up out of packs Sané going from 260 to 315 Morientes going up 10k Gomez going up 15 20k Unberg is up like that's the kind of stuff that I would take the coins on right now as well or in the next day or two before some of the hype for the new footies promo does come in and and get involved so yeah I just think that you know the mini release today is decent Kale's card looks nice he'll be the most expensive but I think he'll end up being like two 300k maybe 400k because many of these cards are always really rare so that'll be a part of content today now the other question is what's gonna happen with our icon player pick SBC and this is the second week we have had the 92 plus moments player pick for two weeks in a row last week we had it one time non-repeatable now this week we've had it two times repeatable same SBC I believe it's been the same requirements it's going away today I feel like we have two options EA could release it for a third time and I kind of hope they do this I would love a better icon moments player pick at this time in the game is 92 plus icon moments are behind the curve a EA needs to make this really cheap and make it repeatable unlimited times it has been forever just think about this for a second it has been forever since we have had a repeatable icon moments player pick or any sort of icon player pick that it does not have a certain number of times that you can repeat it right two times to complete this SBC and then it goes away and you can't do it anymore we need a repeatable icon player pick that is truly repeatable we're still going to get upgrade packs on Monday we're still going to have fodder from all of the swaps packs that were opening from summer swaps EA sports people want a repeatable icon moments pack it is also July let us have some fun so I really hope that even though a 92 plus moments pick seems behind the curve at this stage in the game I really hope that they release this one today repeatable I mean you can make it a little bit cheaper EA sports that'd be fantastic make it like 84 85 86 87 or something like that instead of you know drop a rating on every single squad and we'll be happy with it but I just think that they could go that route today which I would like because we need a repeatable player pick right or they could give us a brand new one I don't know which brand new one they would give us the icon swaps player picks that we have had from the past couple of seasons of icon swaps you know we've had a 94 plus player pick we have had 92 plus attack slash mid player pick we've had all those different variations of player picks I really hope they drop one of those at some point as well that could be pretty cool so we'll see if EA changed the play pick today or if they keep it the same that also makes us think about SBC fodder yes as we usually usually do on Sundays we look at fodder and we say wow fodder is really low and it's probably a good time to buy and that is exactly what we are saying once again here today it is crazy to me once again that 84s are in the 3000 coin range especially with footies on the horizon and last week sorry two weeks ago these guys were 7k when the content was really good last week they didn't really move that much right all these guys in the low threes like 3.5k for wine all them he went back up to four this is a great price like especially for the PSG Lynx league one Lynx Philippe is a center back Samich is a center back Guerrero is a left back you know all of your good linking fodder cards Trippier is one of the cheapest 84s that's atrocious he's usually way more expensive than the cheapest 84 right but all this stuff is pretty low it's kind of the lowest that it's been since early June when 84s were disgustingly cheap and we are going to be entering a time of the summer FIFA cycle where content is plentiful and there are a lot of sbc's that are being released if you look at fodder last year during footies and I'm sure we're going to talk about this later on this week fodder explodes during footies as it's kind of started to do in the past couple of weeks I really think that the low tier on fodder is the best place to look to 83s 84s 85s even 86s I would say remember two weeks ago 86s were all 19k right right here 19 20,000 coins EA had them update their price ranges a couple weeks ago and this is really preparation for footies in my opinion these 86s all this stuff is going to go higher so it takes a little bit of patience in here but I think the highest point you saw in 86s earlier this year was 25,000 coins I will almost guarantee you that in the next month we are going to see 86s get up to that crazy high price range doubling from this amount in the next month because they're just going to release a lot of great content it's the summer months there's not going to be as much supply for some of these cards as well it is a fantastic time to do a club stock or to make an investment but you might have to be a little bit more patient right because this stuff isn't all going to rise up insane like this week it's probably going to take a few weeks and if you want to do a quick short-term investment I still think buying all this fodder it could go up a little bit more this week it could drop down next Friday a little bit more as well when footies starts but for a good long-term investment I really love the 84s at three and a half thousand coins the 85s at 6k is pretty banging because I think that in two three four weeks time all this stuff is going to be higher as we get great content that comes out during footies so whether it's an investment for like right now this week and you want to go do sbcs and you think they're going to drop some great sbcs if we have any leaks coming out soon about great shape ship their cards some of that fodder could go up this week but even looking long term I think it's a really good investment for once to come with footies and I think prices are low enough specifically on those little tier cards that it could be a really good investment now I would be a I'd be really careful with the higher tier stuff of course you'd like Nate why you know why would I not buy a card like a Harry Kane gold card who is 44k now he's 38,000 coins and we maybe will be getting an icon of what's player pick today I think that he would be you know the higher tier cards I'm a little bit unsure about because we're going to be getting a lot of special cards re-released back into packs this next weekend for footies and I think that's going to impact kind of your like 87 to 90 range because more of those either low tier tots cards previous versions of informs that are upgraded one two three ratings above that player's base card I think that's going to take some of your higher tier fodder and drop it lower man of the match cards cards from earlier promos throughout the year you guys know what they do during footies right they re-release these cards and a lot of them that are fodder say like a Adidas numbers up Matt's Hummels if he were to get back into packs right that would be a perfect example of a high rated card that was fodder at one point they will absolutely return to fodder once again is a 90 rated card and will probably continue to push down and maybe help push down some of the prices of the higher tier fodder if it's getting supplied a lot so that's the one thing that we'll look at later on this week and kind of just you know watch that but the low tier I think is the best short term investment and I like the prices in that low tier range the best right now on this game so that's kind of my thoughts around SBC fodder at the moment speaking of like the market and stuff I kind of had a crazy trade yesterday I bought Dina Talley I don't even know I have to check the screenshot I took a screenshot when I bought this because I was like all right I'm seeing if I'm gonna get a good deal here and try to flip it I bought Dina Talley for I don't even have the screenshot I deleted it rip me but I think I bought it for like 2.59 or 2. it was under 2.6 mil and then Dina Talley is such a rare card I knew that at some point yesterday he was gonna spike up I literally was not on the companion app for more than 20 minutes yesterday I relisted my card two times and took a look at his price twice and I saw him spike to like 3.5 mil so I just undercut at three million coins because I knew that I would be a little bit lucky to get a sale there I got the sale he's back down to 2.7 but that's why I love trading with some of these really really rare brand new promo cards Kyle Walker's another one he goes between like 1.1 mil and 1.5 mil he's done it twice now he's back to 1.5 it's crazy how rare some of these really really high tier shaped here if their cards are so we did actually make some coins yesterday on a Dina Talley flip Kante who we looked at in last night's video I'm glad I didn't buy him at like 4.9 mil because Kante ended up going all the way down to like 4.6 and then he was he just kind of been chilling between 4.6 and 5 million coins so if you flipped any of these really rare high tier cards GGs Joe Cole I think is a favorite right now in this game and I think I might have just missed the buy opportunity he was 320,000 coins looks like he's bouncing back up he was 340 yesterday went to 370 looks like he's probably going to go back up again so you know one way to tell that this card is very popular is a his price fluctuations on the market and b he's always near the top on the foot been most popular list so if I was able to get myself with Joe Cole at like 325,000 330,000 coins I would really feel confident being able to sell him today on Sunday for like 370 I mean look how rare this guy is he'll be 370 in an hour easy so that's the kind of stuff you could be doing and trading with on this game if you want to if you want to grind the market and try to make a few coins at this stage of the game completely up to you of course but you know these these cards move 339 cdm position changed all right if I'm thinking I can sell that at 370 then I'm absolutely gonna take that price list that up at 370 and you know what let's go 377 and we'll list it overnight because I'm going to sleep here in like 15 minutes so boom we're gonna list that up that's a gg also I do have some really exciting news to share because a lot of you guys already know this you're gonna turn off the video because like Nate this is a huge flex is unbelievable but really quick I had I can't even believe I didn't talk about this yesterday I had one of the most insane pack pulls of the account of the whole of my whole entire favorite career I mean the R9 is definitely the number one pack pull ever and it's probably going to be very hard to defeat that but 99 messy I would packed him and ignore the stats first goal cup modes were not friendly to me on Friday but we packed 99 messy guys and guess what it's crazy to say this but now I have the best three versions of messy I have packed in this game I have packed the 99 rated messy I have packed the 98 rated team of the year messy who I absolutely freaking love messy finesses you guys from the stream know the vibes and then I packed a team in the season from one of the compensation tots packs like two weeks ago three weeks ago that was just out of nowhere it's it's the dupe theory guys it really is I packed this messy first after I packed this messy I packed gold messy like two times and then I packed a 97 and now I packed the 99 it's ridiculous how crazy the dupe theory is and I literally have no words at how ridiculous my pack look has been this year I'm just trying to enjoy it and not set my hopes too high for next year because there's no way I'm topping this year's pack look next year with the R9 with the messy the Conte packing Marcelo last week like what like that you you don't even know what to say right it's just crazy so just had to update you guys that had not seen that uh yeah that was that was crazy and I can't believe that I have the 99 messy two years in a row last year here's an SBC of course but 99 messy pack pulled this year is ridiculous so besides that point I'm still saving some packs for footies I'm hoping for good upgrade packs tomorrow on Monday and I'll hit some of those absolutely I want to try to pack like Clint Dempsey and stuff like that being from the USA and stuff but today on Sunday it's all about a do we need to sell some of our cards be icon moments

All right, the reason I wanted to do this walk a couple of reasons. Let's uh you around Alex making sure Alex is here We're gonna sum up our week as well, I actually went down without a hat that Then that didn't realize dude is so darn hot and sunny here now There's poo everywhere on the ground. Okay. Anyways The reason I brought you guys down here to do this walk is to Tell you what a real life the day in a life of a real day trader is okay Because you you see all the people post these big old P&L's all the stuff like that But you don't see Like do they most of them don't post every P&L the only post ones that they win you hardly see people post a loss And I actually admire the people I do post a loss, but when you post a loss Or when you post a win You know it's like I keep telling everybody in my other IG live It's not how you made the money. That's the important thing to teach other people It's not I mean it's not the dollar amount you make is how you make that money. That's the most important If you make the money Breaking rules. Oh here are the ducks Where they come from it's kind of came here from nowhere. It's not how much you make guys is how You made that money. It's also not how much. Oh man my cameras. Hold on. I like this It's also not how much you lose is how you lost the money. That's important Some of my best days guys were days that I actually lost money But I properly stopped out There's there's days that I felt like I got beat up I spent all my mental capital just to make a few dollars broke every rule use a million dollars of buying power just to Perhaps break even Those I mean and so when you look at the the results the results are Kind of ambiguous you see a guy making ten grand But you don't see how he made it, you know a lot of these guys are Revenge trading they have really no process and so you can really tell How good of a trader they are if you basically look at their language in my opinion There's a guy that just focus on dollars They're trying to portray themselves to the public as some great best trader in the world kind of shit Hardly they would tell you how they made that money A lot of these guys are like, okay, you see these P&L's you're like wow They must be so awesome, whatever But you don't understand maybe they use like five million dollars to make ten thousand because they're stuck upside down all this stuff They're pumping to their people. Whatever the reason may be Okay, so it's very difficult to look at someone's P&L and not get as a human being envious Or jealous or pissed off because you're like, oh, why why are they making more money than I am?  And so if that's the case from you, I suggest you don't look at P&L's anymore For the longest time I never posted P&L's because it doesn't really help much I post charts because then you can see the entries and the X's and all that stuff And everybody trades differently guys my charts will look different than your charts Some people like to go smaller size and hold it longer and go oh, I got the top I got the bottom then they brag where it is and then you look at some of my charts I'm like, oh, what the fuck you took a tiny move But that tiny move could be a lot more size or I do a lot more of those tiny moves Which adds up to the same thing So it's very misleading based upon even if you post a chart or it posts a P&L But at least a chart you can see the entry and the mindset a P&L doesn't really tell much but what you can tell from P&L is this you can tell by the wild swings in their P&L The the traders I admire most so not the guys are swinging the big sizes up and down every day Up and down big up and down big and bragging about it. It's the guys are quiet post consistent trades Low stress then go about their day Those are the ones that in my opinion are the good traders because they really don't need validation from the world I post my stuff Alex post our stuff because we you know, we we try to help you guys We we run actually an education service. So people like to see that stuff. So that's the only reason right? So even before that I don't post any of this stuff for 10 years, right?  You see everybody has an ego to some point, right? Everybody has an ego. It's like something triggers you whatever and you have to turn that off guys and The best thing I did for a long time was to get off Twitter Okay, there was before I went on monster streets with no one even knowing Because it doesn't influence me I make five grand some guy makes 10 grand I'm pissed so I load up the next day and then I lose You know, I make 20 grand some guy makes a hundred grand. It's just you know, this is vicious cycle, right? So if you're struggling as a trader and I was upset because I could the reason I I'm telling you this guys It's because I had this conversation with Alex this morning But they should post it we like seeing it because it's consistent. That's a difference So the difference with phase this I'm gonna tell right now phase posting the same consistent PNLs every pretty much every day which shows what? She's following the process. It's not up 10 grand one day down 10 grand another day up 20,000 down 50,000 things like that So the reason I like to see these type of P&Ls is so that it a realistic P&L which shows other people This is the way that trading should be in my opinion It's not you waking up and let's say I'm gonna bank 10 grand a day Tomorrow I lose five grand and then and lose another 10 grand the next day and then doubled up the next day You say that that pretty much is not a repeatable process That could be sustained. You need to create a sustainable repeatable process and that's the Proper way to level up in my opinion You know, everybody wants a quick Get rich quick one day bank and leave that's that's the ideal dream of a lottery Person a person wants to win the lottery But that's not how trading works guys There's very little people amount of people that actually get very lucky like that and even if they get very lucky like that They would think it's skill. They would they would not Believe that they don't know what they're doing. They will end up bleeding everything back and then more That's how human nature works The guys are gamblers is going to gamble until they hit rock bottom and either they They admit that they were gambling or they just go broke and in denial forever forever, right? So so today was a very slow day for me For the whole room actually because we know we trade small castles. There's hardly anything moving And I'm like dude. There's absolutely nothing moving and so there's two things that happens during this time But there's nothing moving you can either force something to happen by sizing up and Forcing something that doesn't exist and making up scenarios in your head to justify why you're doing that Okay, and or number two Going out outside of your niche to try to find a trade So if you're trading a small cap and also there's nothing moving a small cap and then oh Apple is moving Let's start trading apple What the hell you have a what business do you have trading apple if you were small cap trader unless you traded apple before? Okay, so those two types of scenarios are very very dangerous and the longer you sit around The more chances you are of deviating and breaking your discipline is like how can you go to the casino? Sit there and not gamble How could I go to a bar? Sit there and not drink So sometimes you have to remove yourself from the trigger points, right? And so I do these IG lives because it actually helps me guys as well as trying to help you guys But by helping you guys it helps myself So this is why we always talk about find a tap when you're bored This is the sort of stuff you talk to your tap about the same thing. I'm talking to you about You know, it's you have to keep there's a saying that says Let me see a idle hands or the devil's playground Idle hands are the devil's playground Idle hands meaning when you're bored you have nothing to do these these Negative thoughts come up these everything bad happens when you're busy with life. Everything is good You have a routine you go work out whatever but when you're bored homie.  What are you gonna do? Let's drink? Let's smoke out.  I started trading before this social media days Where people didn't really post and much stuff like this and so I was Trading by myself thinking that I was a shitty trader Because the only people that bragged or guys that were making big money But then they never talked about their losses. So I was a really consistent trader, you know, I started with 300 dollars a day The same thing has always preached you guys, right? You start with $3 a day that became $500 a day $1,000 a day $3,000 a day next year. I was training $10,000 a day in profits $50,000 a day. I had $100,000 days even million dollar days. I had a more than I can't account number hands and the number of Five figure days I had in a row, you know those stacks. I'd never tracked I had a year where I only had 10 lost days. I mean, it was pretty crazy You can probably find some pictures. I don't like to post it much But it doesn't show anything because it doesn't show that the fact that I've been working my ass off for 10 years before that point taking a bunch of losses and Leveling up to the point where I built a bankroll so that I I can get away with it The reason why someone can make $10,000 a day because they're willing to lose $20,000 if you're making $500 a day You must be willing to lose $1,000 a day to make it You know that that's the way it's it works to give yourself a little range, right? So can your bankroll Take multiple hits over two times your average So you can use that kind of as a barrier right of when to increase your size So it's kind of almost exponential man To go from $500 days $1,000 a day if you're $500 you you're you're cool with losing at two days work I'm just saying right so that's should be your max data loss. Maybe two days or three days, right? But now you move up to 10,000. Are you ready to lose 20,000 or 30,000 two to three days? You cannot unless your bankroll can sustain it So these guys are trading with million-dollar accounts where it may be and they can't take me to those hits And so that's why I say it's very misleading guys because I'll give you a fact One of my friends joined a this was man 10 years ago. One of my friends joined a prop trading group It's no longer around he was Swinging up and down literally. I'm not joking like 10 to 20 to $50,000 a day And this guy probably had only $200,000 in his trading account And he was swinging up and down $50,000 a day You know, he would do the the old if I lose I double down and it always works guys You keep adding until You're out of the position. That's what they used to do until you had that one They call a black swan, but the black swan happens all the time All the time all you take me to do is get one so this guy He was my best friend at the time.  Okay, and so I started to increase my size because I was a pussy. I was actually scared And I was like I was comfortable making my $2,000 a day where it was. That's a great living right no stress And then I put more size on and that's how I so I give him kind of credit how I grew my balls Because it takes something like that, but at the same time is It's the methodical Methodical process it wasn't like one day. I wake up. I go. Oh, I'm gonna so I cut I'm gonna cut the story short short, right?  And you're all it takes is 25% That's not to go 25% down for you to lose a hundred percent And that is the problem with over leveraging and that's why I said man So no one really talks about how to properly level up You have to have the bankroll to sustain these losses And usually it's two to three times your your average day because if you take a look at that logically, right? If you're if your goal is to make a hundred dollars a day You must be willing to lose two hundred dollars that day Which is normal two days of work So now it's scale up to ten thousand. That's twenty thousand thirty thousand. How many of those hits can you take? and now you get to the fifty thousand dollars and so don't compare your chapter to them and Always this happens. I'm telling right now Alex can confirm this Alex. I'll bring Alex on. He'll confirm this tip It's not really how much you make guys is how much you make plus How much you do not lose?  I've seen guys. This is the hardest hurdle to overcome because I've gone through this hurdle I can make money every day But if you don't control that one lost day You know, you're done You're done. So the the most successful traders that are long-term If you take a look at their big losses, their big losses are not that big in relation to their wins Okay, so you have to keep those losses down and how do you do that? You have to have a system The system cannot just be based on emotion You can tell if you're trading well by taking a look at your P&L curve and Seeing is it consistent or is it while swings up and down? Okay, so the first thing you do is you take a look at your P&L and if your P&L is getting wiped away by just one Or two few bad trades you have to fix that lot of these guys lot of the people trading Only focus on making money.   That's $2,000 a Week that's $8,000 a month. So from making $500 a day You can make $8,000 a month.  And so you'd be diligent about it. You keep at it at it. So that's why today. I was like, man I could either stay here. So this happens to be a lot.     Okay, and it's okay to have a swing up, but the swing down is the problem If you are having one day bleed an entire week of gains, that's in my opinion. It's not sustainable So work on that. How do you work on that?    It feels great, but don't force it.  I made a lot more than I thought sometimes I make a lot less than I thought But by doing that you trade well I'm not talking to you about hiding your p&l guys.  So you have to see your p&l after each trade So try whatever tricks you want to do if it works for you it works for you guys I'm presenting to you the things that works for me and Trust me when you start to trade well the money will take care of itself the biggest hurdle to avoid is To have one loss wipe out weeks or months worth of work You have to put a fence around that I'm gonna give an analogy to real life Okay in real life You get drunk you pass out you miss the day work so what? But there are certain circumstances in life.  So I hold on to the losing position right guys How many times are you lost the hold on to lose it? You just because you didn't add doesn't mean that's it's okay. You need to take the loss So you have a disciplinary issue the reason I bring this up because I get asked all the time even today.  What do I need to do?  Put a fence around all the things I did. Oh I don't want to use a stop loss the market maker is gonna trick me Well, that's up to you. You do not have you have not earned the right to do a mental stop Lot of us do not earn the right. You have to earn the right to do a mental stop. Okay? until then Use a hard stop things like that Whoo, all right, I want to bring Alex in so he can recap what he did for the week Hey, where you at Alex raise your hand. There we go. We brought Hey, you see me. Are you driving bro? What are you doing? Dude you go on your walks and right here.  You said all the time we go looking for trades. We're gonna find it So for me personally, I have to eliminate myself from the situation or else I'm gonna be stuck there all day until four o'clock and then maybe even trading after hours Yeah, today you dig well.  He wasn't watching you trade apple That's the telltale sign, bro. That's the telltale sign So this is the thing so Alex should tell me tell me how much you made today and what you made the week So that's the thing trade is not about just making money every day It's making money when the right day to make money when the opportunity is there for you So let me give you an example today was only a $100 day for me, but yesterday was a $9,000 day So how does that happen right? How are you green $9,000 one day and then green $100 the next day aren't you supposed to be making the same amount of Money every day and the truth the matter is as traders right as traders Our goal is to trade when we see opportunity or when we see an edge Yesterday there was an unbelievable edge on so many setups. There was APDN. There was TTPH There were so many setups that fit our criteria that fit our niche that fit our process So it allowed me to size up on those trades whereas today there was really nothing moving man So as a trader as someone that's working for their money Why should I risk my hard-earned money on a trade or a setup that doesn't make sense? Or that the edge is not that present today there really wasn't much setups to be honest and if I'm just being completely honest with myself if I took the Day off it would be even better than taking a hundred dollar gain today because I'll preserve mental capital today I felt myself Today I felt myself just trading because I was bored so as soon as I recognized that I shut myself down and walked away So a hundred dollar day, you know is life-changing to a lot of people but based for me based for you It's just basically a scratch day. So I ended the week $22,000 today. I made four or five thousand on Monday. I made nine hundred on Tuesday Made five six thousand on Wednesday ten nine thousand on Thursday and then a hundred dollars today So every day I'm showing up to the market and slowly but steadily these gains are adding up So get it back to what I'm saying. What was your biggest loss for the month for the month? Maybe maybe five hundred bucks Maybe I might even be green all month to be honest But the truth the matter is that but that's a thing right the case you have learned from last year Remember those losses last through 30,000 word. I don't I don't want to remember it But that pain that pain of those losses is what molds you into the trader that you are today These days, man I'm making I don't know like thousand to four thousand dollars a day working less than an hour a day with no stress But you're not losing that's not losing and when I do lose I've even gotten it to the point where my losses knock on wood is less than a day's worth of work, right? Because like you say man, if it takes you a day to make back your loss You're set but if you're losing a week's worth a month's worth a year's worth Then you get into trouble and then you start dominoing, you know I mean and this is what I want to show people because you were swinging up and down 30,000 people thought damn You're making 10 million a year You know and that's not how much you swing up and down is you have to control the losses So that's why you know This is a perfect example where Alice made a hundred dollars a day But he's still making a lot more money than these guys are swinging up and down a shitload of money But they're losing all their money Exactly so it also goes back to something that you mentioned earlier in the video that I don't know if a lot of people caught is You have to have a size that you are comfortable with that doesn't really phase you right? So actually when I was trading larger size, I was trading on like 80 to a hundred thousand shares of these stocks That's a lot ridiculous size.  So let me let me kind of go back to where that came from right so I worked with dr. Brett Steve Barker who's like arguably the number one trading coach in the industry and His approach is very statistically based right you look at your stats and you try to improve based on your stats We noticed that my trading went downhill after 1030 So I eliminated that time frame from my trading and my P&L exponentially grew But the other thing that he said is that you know trading should be boring when you're doing it, right? Right when you're doing it, right?  I'm doing something wrong.  I'm telling myself. You know what? I'm wrong.  So on the front side of the move We have very clear risk parameters to make sure that we stay safe on the front side Because the front side shorting is the most dangerous type of shorting But if we have risk rules in place and risk parameters in place the losses are not only manageable They are controllable and when the backside does hit you're going to have essentially triple the size because you're going to be using more Size because the setup is more confirmed and that's how you can not only make back your loss plus more So all of these methods all of these routines all of these different types of processes Took me and bow Years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to lose right So these are the lessons that you learn by yourself and it might take you 10 years It might take you five years But me and bow not only it took us time it took us money to lose as well So that's what you get when you join m.i.c. You get to learn all the mistakes that we made Uh so that you don't have to pay the same price to learn it as well, right? Yep, exactly right. And so that's what I want to talk to you guys about today was a very slow day But you know what we do? Dude, Alex is driving around and joining his life I'm walking around exercising enjoying being happy versus sticking around in the hopes of what? Make a few grand more would that change our life?   It's not that funny. That's what I told about too, man I told about I'm like, bro Even it doesn't matter if we had a slow day today We walked away green if we walked away red I would 100 know that we would both ruin our weekends because we're perfectionists We always want to do better and we always want to improve so at the end of the day Even if you have a small green day, even if you didn't fucking bank Even if you didn't do this You preserve mental capital to come back stronger the next day the next week and improve, right? Yesterday was $9,000, right? I had no idea I was going to show up and make that much If I came in today with the same mindset of trying to make nine grand I would have lost nine grand instead. I recognized that it's a slow day Take it a little bit slower and then use our process on slow days to take advantage of it Yep, and that's what we say take what the process gives you A lot of people say take with the market with the correct term in my opinion is take what the process gives you So if you want to if you want to increase your dollar amount increase your uh, we find your process make it better That's what i'm trying to do every day Correct and the process it also includes a routine of walking away, right? So bow is walking and i'm driving it's not because we need the fresh air sure we do sure I want to get out but by walking away We're actually saving ourselves money and saving ourselves stress and actually you know living our lives as well, right? Because i'm telling you remember we I talked about ma'am before we before alice and I started this Service is m-i-c community We I told alice. I'm very close to do to break in the code Remember I keep saying and that came with a zombie hour. So you know what you know what breaking the code was It wasn't finding a new indicator.  Yeah, just like at a casino, right when we discovered the optimal time to walk away Dude that was it you make more by walking away because you're not losing back So that was the mission link that that started us to start m-i-c at last and we had the strategies We know the technical analysis. We know what all that the problem we could crack was Man, we would have these losses that don't understand why and we thought we had to be more technical To do more filings research read the filings. No, dude.  To 4 p.m. Or if i'm sitting at my desk from 7 a.m. To 10 30 a.m I'm going to be a lot happier in my life because i'm not wasting away five hours a day extra Sitting at a computer to try to make a couple extra thousand dollars a day That's not really going to change my life and the worst part is even if you do make that extra thousand dollars One bad zombie trade is going to eliminate that plus more. Yep. That's a thing You want to make money when it's in your favor when the odds are in your favor And that's where it is if you don't want to fight mike tyson It went in his prime. You know, you you wait for him to like Tell me all then you leave that's it So so we know which times are optimal to trade and which ones are not And so that's what it is, man. We're trying to fight the older tyson The good tyson right so exactly and again these zombie rules are for short sellers There's plenty of members that in m.i.c. That Start their trading at 10 30 zombie times because that is when the long bias traders have an edge So the short bias traders take advantage of 9 30 to 10 30 The long bias traders take advantage from 10 30 to 2 and the short bias traders come back from 2 to 4 So knowing these different timing things took us years man years and tons of money to learn man And now it's kind of a part of our routine and our process and now it's starting to pay dividends, right? Correct.  Have a good weekend guys. Is there anything else to say? That's it man. That's it.  Yeah, yeah, so You know, we don't want all the education to stop on the weekends You know the weekends are at the time that most people have uh to learn and to review So we actually created this on day one of m i c. It's called weekend mentoring every saturday at 1 p.m Market time in the weekend mentoring section in m i c we host a q and a So it's kind of like a speed dating of questions, right? You post your question and all the moderators and a bunch of the team members Come and answer your questions So it's basically like the f a q's of trading and we have a bunch of archives on this as well So if you have any questions that maybe weren't answered during the week or you have a chart that needs some review It's basically a one hour long speed dating q and a that happens every single saturday at 1 p.m Market time this has been going on for almost two years We have an archive of almost two years of it. Yeah, and it's like we have two years So almost about a hundred weeks of questions answered So as a new trader guys, so this is a resource that's often overlooked at m i c as a new trader You go into this f a q that's the weekend mentoring. It's not really the question You know, that's it I'm sorry Yeah, you you go there. That's another resource for you to learn because sometimes as a new trader the hardest part You don't know what questions to ask Because you don't you're not experienced enough to know what to ask You know, and so that's where the f a q is and that's a weekend mentoring guys. So Keep that in mind Cool. I want to keep it short and sweet. I'll let you guys go back to work and keep driving. Alex. Stay safe Really awesome later about have a good weekend guys
