If you're going to trade this strategy, if you get wicked out in its news, you 100% have to get the same amount of size, right? Because your thesis is that this news is impactful and it's going to make a significant percentage move, right? So you have to make sure you're making up for the losses and then paying yourself. You know what I'm going to say to you is just look wait for the base, wait for that one green candle at 260, a pause candle, a hammer candle, and you get an inside pause candle, and then you can kind of get involved in that 250, risking 260 area, goes down into a halt, wrist down, and then you get a halt and reopen lower, right? Like it was just a really good opportunity and one way I could consider this probably the best one of the month is just on the risk perspective that you didn't really have to risk that much. I think that what makes that trade really great. What is up guys? Alex here and welcome to episode six of the Axis Investors podcast. In this week's episode, we're going to be talking about trading out of a drawdown, how to improve your entry and exit, and also what was the best opportunity of the week. Before getting into the show, a quick reminder that all the best tools for day trading and investing will be linked down in the description that includes brokers, scanner, charts, and newsfeed. And also we have something new. The show is now available on Spotify and Apple podcast if you want to listen to the audio version of this show. So without further ado, let's get right in. Yeah, we could start that house trading this month. Yeah, okay. For me, so far it's been it's been kind of slow. I haven't really been able to catch you know, some big moves or any of the big moves that have happened. You know, and that's part of the game. Sometimes you don't see things really clearly and or sometimes your setup's not there and it's best to just make sure that you you know, don't get FOMO and start taking trades that are outside of your playbook or comfort zone. And, you know, one of the questions that we have later is, you know, about drawdowns. So, you know, we can talk about that and making sure, you know, I'm essentially trying to keep myself out of that. So I haven't made much progress this month, you know, the first couple days this month, you know, but it's all in month and I'm okay with that.  Yeah, I'm kind of the opposite. I've seen a lot of good setup when it came to news, but I haven't been able to really capture them.  I don't think they're really worth going over because there's like, there's just no context. They're just like random clicking on trades. And this is where I can get myself into a drawdown if I don't catch myself early. And I didn't think it would be the case because I've been really, since your last conversation, I've been pretty good with my discipline outside of trading. Like I got back, I signed up at the gym. I started to train again. And I did everything I'm eating well, respecting whatever I'm supposed to sleep, whatever I'm supposed to wake up, like everything is online about where I should see success in my trading, but it's not showing up yet. So I feel a bit, I guess, frustrated that it's not paying off right away, even if it's only been like a week, but, you know, that's just life. And we're going to cover that later in a few topics that we have to talk about.  Did you want it to cover some parts that you realized or how did you came about that conclusion? A lot. I just, you know, for me, it's just I, you know, so I engage in both day and swing trading. And, you know, in terms of swing trading, the market's just been grinding up and going higher and higher. And I'm kind of just holding the positions that I have. And I don't really see many new, like bases, you know, even the mini pullback that we had in the Qs, right? It's basically, you know, I'm just looking off at the chart.  But it's not really enough to really, you know, shake the tree and really form some bases. And as I go through the watch list that I have for my swing trades, there's not much there. And with respect to my day trading, you know, I like, I prefer to trade, I prefer to trade larger cap names that have gaps or R ball relative volume to try to catch continuation moves in those. And now that earning season is kind of winding down, we're seeing some more of those small caps make moves. And it's just not my, they're just not my A plus setups. I know that they're there and there's opportunities there. You know, and I've been obviously playbooking and keeping an eye on what's been moving. So I know that those, that's where the bigger movers are, are, are lately. So I need to, I need to adapt and adjust a little bit and, you know, change my focus up just a little bit there. Yeah, I think that this is exactly where I'm starting to have FOMO. It's all these small caps that are running. They're not necessarily my, my A plus also, but I know I can make money in them, but I'm trying to kind of stay away because it's a very, it gets me into over trading because there's so many running at the same time. So it's a bit harder for me to have like a very direct focus on my edge or what I want to achieve. And I'm kind of spreading myself pretty thin across the board. So this is where I'm starting to sometime, you know, just, just cross the line about over trading and trading my playbook. And we, we spoke about a few setups this week because I send you some ideas that I had and your first response was just, yeah, these are just way too extended. And these were NVIDIA. I think there was even SMCI. And there was a couple of their names that I forgot the exact name, but they were just not out of a base. And could you describe what do you think about like a good, I guess, swing long setup would be like, sorry for the interruption. But if you have any question or topic that you'd like us to cover, let us know in the comment section. And while you add it, like and subscribe, let's get back to the show. Yeah. So, you know, I'm a believer that the market's fractal, right?  Of it's going to be price contraction, volatility contraction, where things get tighter.  And for me for swing trade, I'm going to look for that on a 60 minute in a daily chart. I will incorporate the weekly chart just so I'm aware. But my swing trades tend to be, you know, just just even an overnight, if that's if I get the move that I'm looking for, you know, to two weeks. So, you know, I'm not as concerned, you know, I am concerned with the weekly, but I'm not going to make it as not going to be as concerned, because I'm looking for that kind of momentum burst, or move out of out of like a consolidation.  And for me, what you can get a nice day trade on from that, right, because it's it's still today, there's some great momentum. You know, there was a nice little flag around nine 10, and you get a 10 $15 move out of that. But in terms of like a swing trade, it's just, you know, at some point, you have to start playing the probabilities and with how far how far away is it from its moving averages on the daily time frames. And, you know, the higher and higher and higher it goes, it's going to be like that rubber band stretch the opposite way for a possible short, like as like what we saw at SMCI a couple, you know, a couple weeks ago. Yeah, so you think I mean, it's hard to really know the probability of like this going down, just staying like staying choppy, ranging and going higher, really, because we don't know it all depends if there's news and if there's no news, right, we don't know it's going to probably just track the market and you know, follow with whatever the semis are doing. And so would you consider an X amount of time for a swing trade that you want to hold over like multiple weeks, like I mean, in terms of a base, like, I mean, a lot of people talk about, you know, like, like a three months or one month or six months, like, is there a specific thing that you're looking for or it could be a shorter base if it's something that has a lot of momentum? I mean, it could totally be a shorter base that has a lot of momentum. You know, some of the best, you know, let's, let's, you know, again, just be fractal here, right. So sometimes you see really strong momentum bursts on like a five or a 15 minute chart off the open, right. And then you see two to like seven minutes of sideways to downward consolidation action. And then you get that a continuation move higher, right. Something that I was looking at today was this, you know, that LIT.  And for me on the day trade, that's exactly, you know, that's exactly the same thing that I look for. You know, I'm not here to give advice or, or, you know, trade advice or in, you know, so by no means I, I'm not going to say I don't have a position, but something I'm looking at is Carvana, right. And everyone can have an opinion on that, whatever, you know, whatever they want. But if you look at a daily chart, the volatility starting to contract, its moving averages are starting to catch up. You know, so it looks interesting to me for a long, it's still extended from its 20, 21 EMA, which is the, the one of the moving averages that I look at, you know, but as long if the market's continuing to grind higher, you know, I'm going to be looking for some kind of setup for whether it's a day trade or a swing trade. My bias is definitely to the long side there.  So it was a big shift of momentum. And you think if the market stays strong like this, do you really focus more on swings? Are you still preferred to kind of mix the day trades with the swing trades? Yeah. So that was something that I had to adjust.  So I'm not, if I'm not making progress there, but I see that things are trending higher, kind of trending and just grinding higher, then you know, that's a market where you want to be long and you want to take risk home overnight, you know, because it seems like the probabilities and the grind and the march higher continues, right? You know, and in this low, lower volatility market, you know, there's definitely some great opportunities in swing longs, in my opinion. Yeah. So that means pretty much if things are going higher, but not necessarily in terms of like crazy volatility because there's a big difference when we're not range bonding, but you know, we're going higher on the daily chart, but there's no like crazy CPI catalyst coming in, there's no like panic. There's nothing really that just want to, that's going to get you to have this extra range in the day. It's really just more over time that you're getting paid off. So do you think that this is the best time to be a swing trader? The swing traders that I interact with, you know, they're even finding it difficult to, they're finding it difficult to find new ideas or entries, right? Because they're, most of them think similarly to myself where they're looking for a base to enter, and things, most things are just extended. So they're kind of just riding the positions that they have. You know, so it's hard. I mean, I think that this is a very interesting dynamic of a market because there's been so much strength in the semi-names and you're seeing this big-dike coupling from, I don't want to, you know, straight too far, but you're seeing a big-dike decoupling of the Magnificent Seven, right? Like where Apple and Tesla and Google are all very weak and, you know, NVIDIA, Meta and Amazon are pretty strong. But you know, again, it doesn't mean you can't find trades. You can definitely find day trades. Like you said, you know, you can find news. There are opportunities, but I think it's just, we're in a market where you have to be very selective and aware of what's being, of the dynamic that's being played out. Yeah, totally makes sense. All right. So I wanted to cover a trade I took yesterday, which was on NYCB, which was a bank name. And this talk was, it was fresh news, it was a breaking news trade. And it was a trade I traded well, but then got caught up in some unfortunate situation that I couldn't really know in advance because it was just news that came out while it was halted. So I'll be breaking it down. Maybe you wanted your thoughts and opinion on it. And after that, I really wanted to cover what I thought was the best opportunity, probably of the week or week or past week, even probably the month so far. And it was again on SMCI, but it wasn't really the trade that everybody talked about. So we'll go over that right after. Sounds good. Right. So the trade is going to be on NYCB. And as we can see on this chart, we had a really big move from the three to the 160. And after that, it was halted. So on that specific trade, it was a trade that was really in my playbook. And I thought it was a really good opportunity because even if it's not really a breaking news trader that you are, this news was pretty popular. So it was easy to find the news within the first minute or two minutes. You didn't need to have Bloomberg. A lot of people reposted that news. So it was really easy to participate. And this is, as you can see over here, it's a bank stock. And last year, what we saw on, it was WAL, FRC, PACW, so many of the bank names. On the daily chart, we can see that it's a bank that just not doing well. It was gapping down on earnings at first. And then it was just keeping on selling off because this one is a regional and it was lacking liquidity. So people thought this could go bankrupt, which was the exact same story as we saw on all the regional last year. I think it was exactly the same time of year. So it might be a thing that in February or actually March right now, the banks are just not doing well. So there was even some more news today with the Fed and all that stuff. So for this trade, I had it already on watch for a couple of weeks. I was just waiting for some kind of news to come out either on the positive side or negative. And on that specific day, which was Wednesday, the 6th of March, there was exactly what I wanted. And there was some news. And it was the same, same news as what we saw on FRC and also PACW, if ever you guys want to go check it out for last year. And so when I saw that news, what I did, and I'll show the execution on the screen. And if you're not able to see this because you're watching or listening to the audio version, the reference price is the price that the news started at or the price before the news hit. It was 315 and I was able to get an average price of about $3. And on the one minute chart, we had like a quick week and I decided to stop out before a cross reference. And this is where the first issue came in, because after that, when we slammed back down, and the trade really worked out well, and I got paid off pretty much for like, I would say almost a 50% move within a matter of probably 10 minutes, which was really, really good. Before something unfortunate happened. So I wanted to have your thoughts on my execution on this. And where I thought the big problem was is on this news trade, I have a really hard time risking the reference price because sometimes it feels like it's far away or it feels like if it crossed that price, I'm going to get like a bigger loss that I wanted. And you have more experience in me trading breaking news, you've been around a lot of traders that trades news. And could you maybe more describe how would be a proper execution or the issue that you see with that trade? Yeah. As we've spoken about, I don't love trading these one minute fast movers anymore just because I can envision exactly what happened to you, right? You're entering on that first candle because you see the news, the headline, liquidity issues, whatever it was. And then the next candle, whether it's an HFT or some kind of hedge fund, they flash the bid, they buy some stock. And this is a reference from billions, where you buy some stock up and then you slam the bid. Because if this stock was in the SSR mode, you have to short on an uptick. So they buy 50,000 shares or 100,000 shares only to sell 300,000 shares, right? And then the whole candle is almost 800,000 shares. And it's so hard in the moment because you're trying to watch the level two and you don't know exactly if that 315 is going to hold or fail or what's going to happen. And I think this is just going to be for you since trading breaking news is a newer venture. It's just going to come with seeing more and more of these plays happen, seeing more and more and being involved with them more and more, seeing that because if you're right, it's going to really work out. And if you're wrong, you're wrong. And even if you have to cover 320s or 325s because that reference broke and because you gave it that extra second just to see, the times that you make this 50% is going to completely offset that, right? Offset those fewer moments in time when it does reference because for whatever reason the news wasn't received or interpreted the way that you thought it was going to be. Yeah, I mean, that's really interesting because you can almost allow yourself to give just a bit more wiggle room because if you're right, it's going to, like you said, it's going to cover like the losses times five, six. So it's not an issue. And I guess I have to be, maybe it's a problem of me and not just trading breaking news, but sometimes there's really, there's headlines that like they have like a strong initial move and then they just reverse this or just come right back to reference to where before the news happened. And sometimes the news is impactful. Sometimes maybe it's not. Have you seen not a tendency but a way that you can really narrow down your selection to find the one that have more chance of making a bigger move because I did hit a bunch of news which have an initial move. So it's not just random news. It's news that do move the market at first, but then kind of comes back right away to reference price. So you think it's maybe I'm trading too wide of a news spectrum and I should narrow it down or you think it's kind of also just how the game is played? I mean, I think that it's a little bit of both of those things, both of those things that you just mentioned. I think that one, being around people that trade news and looking at PR headlines all the time, that was part of my problem with trying to trade breaking news. I never knew which one is the one that is really going to make a stock move or sometimes I've seen articles passed around that weren't widely distributed and I get involved and nothing's happening. And I'm like, well, I don't want to just be stuck with this position and I'll get out and then someone else on Twitter happens to post it or tweet it and then the move happens. So I was almost too early. And I think that you just need to have a good three to six month news cycle to really see what's moving stocks. What do people care about? What type of headlines? Things like AI or partnerships from large cap to small cap partnerships, drug news, those are things that are always going to move the markets. And then it's these other headlines that as you start seeing them and playing them, you'll realize that 90% of them are probably not market moving events. Case in point, yesterday or the other day before, I think you asked me about a Microsoft headline and there was a small move, but it just wasn't really impactful. And really defining your playbook on your news trades and looking to see what headlines are moving stocks and how they're really moving and you'll get that feel for it and you'll get a good feel for which headlines are the ones that you want to try to focus and find. Yeah. So for the press release, I got really good to compare myself to where I started because I realized even this week and this past week, I mean, for all the headlines that come out in the morning, I only got involved in once stock, I think yesterday and yesterday in the after hour. And also one stock, I think that day before that, and it ended up being the one that did have the biggest move. So now I see so many press release because I just read them every morning from 6 a.m. to pretty much the open. So I know which one within three words are going to be the one that moved the stock, but the one that actually are not going to move the stock. So it's very easy to filter within a quick glance. And my reading is actually getting so much faster just because they're always structured the same way. So you kind of glimpse through them in a very fast way compared to when I started that specific strategy a little while back. So there's progress in that sense that I'm not getting involved in many pre-market stock versus before I used to trade sometimes five or six on press release. They'll manage to hit the good one, but it was just when I was looking at my everything I traded on that day just was way too many shares and way too many tickers, which are now getting really fleshed out. But where I still struggle is more on the intraday news. The one that are kind of the not expected or not coming from that company specific. So hit piece, articles and so on and so forth. These are the one that are, I guess, they're the most impactful because nobody saw it coming. But at the same time, they're pretty hard to play because it goes very quickly. And it happened to me a few times that I was just too early on the news.  So this is, yeah, go ahead. So maybe you just need a little tweaking of your entry tactics. We've had offline discussions about needing to trade the breaking news. But there are things you can do even for this NYCB trade where obviously the putting yourself in the biggest amount of strength is getting your max position size before three. And then just before you even know it, just putting a hard stop in at 320. For example, or it's like, all right, I know that my stops at 320. Whatever I'm risking because it was so fast, that's what I'm risking. Things like that where you're not relying on your speed of watching the level two or the flickers of those prints because of that little wick. Some of the things you can do are, if news is real, and it's very important, you wait until the stock is almost approaching that limit up or limit down spot. And then you get involved. You get yourself involved into that halt at that spot. You're at a little bit of a position of weakness, just in my opinion, just because you're entering further away from the reference points. But in my opinion, you're also giving yourself a higher probability of follow through when the stock reopens. So you can figure out where the limit, the reference point is and where the stock was going to halt. In this case, it looks like it's say 290-ish at that first halt. And you might not be able to get in. That's one of the risks. But at least then you can gauge and see and give yourself that moment in time to think about the trade and setup. Some other things you can do are watch where the stock's indicating. In this case, it almost indicated the same exact closing price. So if you don't want to hold through the halt, you can try to get yourself involved in that opening print and shorting that opening print and watching the stock go down then. And every stock's going to be different because, as you can see as time goes on, the halts and the reopenings become bigger and bigger. But really close to that news, it could be a good lesson or something for you to think about in terms of entering. And what I'm going to say to you is just wait for the base. Wait for that one green candle at 260, a hammer candle and you get an inside pause candle. And then you can get involved in that 250-risking 260 area, goes down into a halt, risks down, and then you get a halt and reopen lower. So you don't have to be involved in that breaking news. So just little nuances that you can think about to maybe incorporate into how you're trading these breaking news things. Yeah. So yeah, that covers really, really well what I was was thinking because a lot of these trades I get involved, but I take too much of a big loss on the first exit, which is like normally when it wicks back up. And then whatever I make back, I still make it back, but then it just sometimes I don't really hit it with the same size because I'm a little scared that I take the second loss. So then I just make it back and make a bit more. So there's definitely some I figured out how, which news, how to get involved and all that, but there's more refining of the strategy, which I think it's probably incomplete at this point. Yeah. I think that, oh, sorry. The one thing I'm going to say real quick though is if you're going to trade this strategy, if you get wicked out in its news, you 100% have to get the same amount of size, right? Because your thesis is that this news is impactful and it's going to make a significant percentage move, right? So you have to make sure you're making up for the losses and then paying yourself. Sorry. Yeah, no, that's exactly it is. Some trade management that's just incomplete and I don't have my if dense statement built in like, okay, if I get in and it ended up recrossing reference price and I stop out. Well, if we get back to that low of that candle, let's for example, reference price, it's 310. We cross back 315 and then we re-slam back because it's negative news, maybe a little imbalance, a lot of people panicking, creates a weird first minute price action. But when we recross that price where I think it's negative news and we're going back down, then I need to really hit it as again. I don't have my, that's where it gets probably incomplete that as we talk about it, that's where I realize that for my other strategy or the way of trading, I do have these kind of variable of like, okay, I'm buying a breakout, you know, if I'm buying that breakout and I see it stall and if flush is back, I'll get out on the flush. But then if we recross that breakout spot, I'll just get back in because it was probably a shakeout, like for example, stuff like that. Yeah. So this is where it gets a little weird. So, you know, before moving out of that trade, this trade was good until it wasn't. So on the last halt up over here when he started to, when he was just getting altered up, I try to get out of that trade and I didn't, and it got halted for news, which was something that you can't really predict. And I think this is going to be a good spot to talk about a question that we got from one of your friend and somebody I know a little, and it was about how to trade out of a drawdown. And also, I thought it would be good to add what makes people or trader go into drawdown, like different scenario that are pretty common and how to maybe not get yourself in that position and what's the best practice to get out of it? So you want to start with the question that we got? Sure. So, what do you do when you get into a drawdown? And every person is going to be different. Everyone thinks differently. But to me, there's two types of drawdowns. There's a drawdown like this event or something like ZJYL that happened in December where it closed at 11 and opened up at 100. That's the black swan drawdown. And I'm not talking, even if you're not, even if you get stuck in a halt like this, and it's not just you fading a parabolic small cap.  And unfortunately, you have to grind away to get yourself back to that pre-black swan event watermark. And I would say that the way to work out the other drawdown is your strategy is just not there. Like mine is right now. For me, what I want to see and how I want to trade things, I just haven't been hitting it. And I've taken some of our losses, but I know that for me in this moment of time, it's really important to not start just searching for trades, searching for the next Holy Grail, searching for just to be active, just because you're not making money doesn't mean you have to be recklessly risking money. And I think a lot of people get into a drawdown that way. And if you're getting into a drawdown that way, you have to be just be self-aware and see that your strategies are just on working and you have to slow down. So you either need to decrease the frequency of your trading or decrease the risk for trade that you're putting on until you are seeing things better. I don't believe in just completely stopping your trading. I think that you want to continue to engage. I'm a proponent of taking breaks, so maybe you need to take a day off, maybe you need to take a week off and just get your head away from the markets. And when you come back, you start trading small.  Because it's not about the P&L, it's about the process and about getting your confidence back. And those things can come back quickly. And the type of market we're in are going to obviously make a difference in terms of the speed and velocity of that happening. But there's no reason why you can't risk $100 a trade or whatever, something small again for a whole week, just to prove to yourself that I still know how to trade. For whatever reason, I need to slow it down or I'm being, I have too much FOMO because too many things are going on and I'm chasing or whatever the cause of your drawdown is, really stepping back and just reflecting and being self-aware, I think is the first most important thing that someone can do. So if we have to put it by step, so how to trade out of a drawdown, what it would be step one, it's probably take the, I think if I had to guess or for me, what I'm, drawdowns for me happen very quickly. Just to take an example, I'll take one bigger loss than I wanted, not necessarily like really big, just like an annoying loss. And the next day, I'm already trying to make back that loss. So then like I oversized, I trade just a bit bigger and then I get probably locked out on the second day because that's just exactly how it goes every time. So after that you're locked out, you're like, all right, so I'm going to trade small, you trade small for a day or two, try to get back in your groove and you really go back quickly to like the same size as you were before, but it feels like maybe you got yourself in a drawdown like you mentioned because the market is not, is just not really there for your strategy and everything is so cyclical in the market that when you make money or when the market aligns with your view, it's almost hard to lose money because like everything just works, but it's so quick to not realize that. So for me, the step one always been to take like a break of the market and it's so hard because you, it's not asking a trader to not be in front of the market like on a day, it's like the ultimate FOMO indicator. It's so hard. You're just, no matter what you're going to do on that day, the only thing you're going to think about is about am I missing something?  This would have been a home run. So then you even have some time, even more FOMO versus just like, even if you were there, you were probably not going to be in like a good place to take it. So it always been take like at least a day off and sometimes even to it's, it's, so I'll example, I'll start like, I'll take a Friday and maybe like a Monday or something like that. So it's like, it's very, it's like a good break. And also there's two day that the market is actually closed. So it gives me like, I come back like after a week and I'm like really at peace with myself versus already thinking about the day before.  No, I mean, I think that, I think that what you said is, is great. It's great for you, right? Every person's different. Every person's in a different situation and different place in their life, in their lives. Some people might be able to, I think that being self aware is very important and some people might be able to just take a walk at noon and really clear their mind, become peace with what what's happened and get themselves back on track. And some people might really need to take more time off. Like you said, and some people might need to take a week off. I think the biggest thing that you just admitted, which is hard to do and is just that you're focusing on the money, right? You're not focusing on your process, your trading process, right? And focusing on your trading process, the results will come, right? And as long as, you know, and for me, when I've been to try downs, I just sometimes I just go back and look at my results. I go back and look at my trading and I mean, I just remind myself that over however many years I've been doing this now, I've been profitable, right? Some more so than others. But just like how the stock market over the long run has gone up, my trading over the long run has been profitable, right? So you have to, you know, is discouraged as you may be about the financial, the monetary, the result, right? That's not what this is about, right? This is about good sound trading where you're putting yourself in high probability situations with positive expectant value, positive risk to reward, like a good risk to reward, whatever that means to you, whether it's trading one minute news charts or, you know, slow 15 minute setups like myself, it, you know, getting back to your bread and butter and your basics and just reminding yourself that if you're in this for the marathon, then the next day doesn't matter, right?  Is that life changing to you? Like probably not, right? I mean, maybe it is. Maybe you take such a crazy shot that you put your whole account in on, you know, LIT this morning and it goes from 2 to 15, like maybe that, maybe, right? But people are always looking at that in hindsight, right? And that's not, that's not the, that's the exception. That's not the norm, right? Where it looks so easy to just go all in, you know, risking, you know, it was so obvious, right? But in the moment, in the moment, you probably weren't thinking that, right? Otherwise, you would have done it, right?   Because of one trade. But, you know, that's, that's, that's not the case, you know, and, you know, I'm, I'm okay with that. I've made peace with it. And recognizing that is the most important thing that you can do. So what would you say step two is if we say maybe take a bit of a time off is going to be relative to the person, as we said, some people hold a grudges against the market or against themselves for way longer, like probably I am. But then step two would be, would you go back to stats? Like, I think it would be probably good, good to go to stats as a second, see where you, where you're really crushing it or where things are doing well and where things are, are the opposite. Yeah, 100%.  Because you want to know what trades are doing well at that time, right? Are, is it your one minute setups? Is it your five minute setups? Is it your 15 minute setups? Is it your, is it your pullback trades? Is it your flag trades? Is it your breakout trades? And there's always a pattern, right? Is it, is it, is it the trades that you're making from 11 to 11, 11 to 1? Is it the trades you're making 11 to 4, right? Are you only making money? You know, I found a pattern, like for a long period of time where I wasn't making money from 930 to 10. But every morning I was coming in and I was trading and every, you know, 75% of my mornings I was down, right? And so I just, I cut it out and it helped me work out of that drawdown that I'd put myself in or that stagnant state, right? So looking at your stats and, and just something as simple as eliminating the trades that you realize aren't working for a period of time. And maybe that naturally slows you down a little bit and naturally forces you to only look for one setup that you know is working well right now. You know, and it can help you build out, work out of the drawdown. Yeah, for me, for me, when I looked at my stats, I haven't done it recently. It's definitely a good thing that I, it's definitely a thing I should be doing and I will be doing. Me was really the afternoon trading. I always had such a hard time finding a playbook for that. Because I always traded the, before going full time, probably four years ago, whatever it, whenever it was, I was always being able to, to trade like the pre-market, which I wasn't trading that much, but at least the first like two hours of the day or three hours until noon, pretty much. So I built a playbook or I got used to how fast the stock moved during that time. So I built a, what I would call an edge during that like high, high momentum time of day. But I never understood when things are just slowing down.  And it was just really, really frustrating.  But for your average day, it was always just staying around and then, you know, punting a bit here, punting a bit there. And then I should have never took those trade. Now I'm frustrated going the next day. So it was, it was always, this was really like, all right, still is if I stay around and trade random stuff at the afternoon with the decision fatigue, it's just something that I kind of always punt a bit of cash. And when you look at the end of the month, it's a lot, you know, it's, it's probably like sometimes 30% of your month that that's gone right there. Yeah.  So I mean, those are, if those are the patterns that you know and recognize about your trading, you need to implement rules, right? Like I might give back budget is always 10, maybe it's 10% because you think that there might be a trade there, or maybe, maybe your stats are a lot worse than you think they are.  For me, you know, if I'm here, I'll continue to watch. But as the day goes on, I want to make sure that I'm only involved in the bigger trend. So the rule that I implemented was that I only watch 15 minute candles after lunchtime. You know, that's the shortest timeframe I'll watch. I'll watch 15s, 30s and 60s basically. And you know, I can really see or look for, you know, as I look around at my screens, I can really see, is there anything really worth trading, right? So many times when you're still looking at those smaller timeframes, people, you know, people, the brain's naturally looking for patterns, right? The brain naturally looks for patterns. So you're, you're going to naturally look for something that might not be there, right? And get yourself involved in things that might not actually be, you know, significant, right? On the larger, on the larger timeframe or the larger, you know, the larger scale of things. Yeah. So if we like, so take a bit of time off after we would say, look at really, really deep down on your stats and after would you say size down, that would be probably the continuation until you at least have some kind of like probably, probably for like almost like a month, just to like really build like mental momentum or mental confidence. Would you think that would be a stretch or a couple of weeks? I think it, you know, again, it goes, that's, it's still trader dependent, right? Everyone's going to be a little different. Some, you know, and everyone's interpretation of what a drawdown is, is going to be different, right?  So two negative days of, you know, is that really a drawdown?     And really work through those bad habits so that, you know, as you come out of this and you slowly increase your size again, you know, you're creating new good habits for yourself. Yeah. When I said a couple of days, it's how it starts, not to worry it or it is. And would you say, would you think that cutting off Twitter would be a good thing? Probably it's like social media. I feel like it generates a lot of formal for me. Even when I'm trading well, I just, I don't know, it's so odd that like I'm like, I'm not, like I think I'm a decent trader. I'm not the greatest, but like as soon as I compared to myself to everybody on Twitter, it's like, I feel like almost ashamed of my trading. Like I thought I had a good day. Yeah. I have a great day. Like, you know, everything I traded well, I made some, you know, like good amount of money compared to I guess the average citizen.  Like, and it's so, and then the next day you're like, oh man, like you're instantly not satisfied about your trading. And like whenever I'm trading even worse, it's like you have a grudge against these people sometimes. Yeah. I mean, that's, that's, I mean, that's a whole nother podcast, you know, episode or topic of conversation for us to have. Like there's so many different things you just touched on, right? Like your, you know, your self worth, your view of yourself, like the ego, all these things that are controlling and controlling our daily actions basically. And, you know, all things that I've been still working on to this day, right? And I think a lot of people are working on, you know, and I don't think a lot of people are self aware of what you just said, like in the moment, right? Being self aware that in the moment is key. And like if you feel that, right, like I have, you know, I, I have a little daily note that I read to myself of just 20 rules, like things that I'm trying to work on progressively, right? And one of those things is that if I feel emotional because of something else, like I shouldn't trade or I should really cut back on my trading. I don't always follow it. That's another, that's another issue, right? But I, I try to be at least aware of it, right? Whether it's, oh my gosh, I can't believe I missed that trade yesterday. All right, be aware of that. Make a mental note of it. The next morning, like when I read my little notes, all right, just because I missed XYZ yesterday, if XYZ or something similar sets up today, I just got to hit it, you know, like I don't have to take extra size or extra risk. Just make sure you hit it, you know, and take your piece of the pie because everything is, every event is independent of each other. I can't control the results. I can just control my actions, right? Yeah, it totally makes sense. So I think it's pretty much complete that segment, which is really about trading out of a drawdown, which it's much more familiar than what people or what is the average trader think? I mean, I know so many guys that have been, and like profitable guys that have been in drawdown for years, not for years, but they have been example traded. Well, for a few years, they made like a really good chunk of PNL and then they were just stuck for like a year straight. And it's really hard to get out of one. When you're in like a deep hole, it's, it's definitely not, it's not fun. And it's, it's really, really hard to, to come back and be really your full self as a trader.  Because this is a performance job and you're only getting paid when you're, when you're making money, right?  So I wanted to, so the next subject I wanted to talk about, it was the best opportunity of the week. And I thought it was SMCI. And we're not talking about the big, the big day that it flushed out like crazy. And everybody made money shorting it, but it was kind of an opposite trade. It was on the long side. And it was when they announced the news that they were going to be being added to the S&P 500. So this one was a very interesting one because they announced it on Friday at 517. And we've seen another trade that was somewhat similar to that one. And it was on Amazon recently that they were getting added to the Dow Jones, I believe that's what it was. And it's not a trade that I took many times. I think I took this trade or not the specific one, but a similar trade, a couple of times. But this one was like a really good opportunity because the ticker has been such a stock in play, right?  This was the big red day that everybody talked about. And now the news when it came, it was on that specific date right over here, technically, this after hour of that day. So what was special about this opportunity is the time that it took for the stock to actually break out. Normally on a breaking news like this, on a stock that's really in play like that, the fact that it gets added to the S&P is a big deal. That means the S&P is going to have to buy some stocks. So automatically, first, it's going to be a positive catalyst, right? And also, the stock is in place. A lot of people were shorting this thing with options, like all kinds of instruments, either the stock option, because people thought it was never really going to break out again. Like after a big red day like this, you think it's going to go sideways for quite a long time. And then you get a catalyst after hour that people are probably just panicking out or chasing in. And there was a lot of delay on that news. So the news came at 517. By the time it got reposted on Twitter was somewhere around 520, which is about that time right over here. And the stock really broke out of that range like probably like six, seven minutes later, which is so much, so much, so much time to buy the stock. And you have such a small risk on this, you can risk the probably the reference price, which is 906. You can even risk 902. And the upsize was just the craziest thing I've seen in a long time. And there was probably millions to be made on that trade without having to risk that much money. And I thought it was probably the best opportunity of the week or even the month. Like it's not something that you had to add so much risk on. You could have traded the trend on multiple time frame. Even if you look at something like a five minute, there was like multiple setup, we have a setup right over here. This is probably a little tougher to get in. But even there, if you wanted just to buy another breakout, there was another leg over here. And after that, this was another trade for another day. But what do you think about that opportunity and that trade overall? Is this something that you would trade if this happened again and you're at your screen? What would you consider that as an opportunity? Yeah, I completely agree. I think that was an amazing opportunity. I know that there were a couple traders at their desk that definitely caught that trade that I know. And it just comes down to being at your desk. I feel like the S&P likes to do this Friday at the closed thing. I don't really know why there was a little pause at 920. Maybe that's because that was, I think, the intraday high. Maybe that was a little inflection point. Maybe it had something to do with options market makers because anyone who was short calls, for example, your calls can get executed up up until 530, I believe. I think it's about that you can do it in the after hour, but not for so long. So it could get there. Yeah, but it could be 530s. So that 15-minute pause, basically, and then options, whatever happens with the options, whoever going through all that order flow basically and then it can kind of just trade freely because maybe some of it was market makers who were short calls and they have to run back to their desk. I mean, I don't know, I'm just speculation. And then they're the ones starting to buy the stock or control that order flow because so they don't blow up the system on their morning. Yeah, so when I was reviewing that trade, what I thought could have been is a lot of, there's a lot of options being traded on that name because so much volatility, people are chasing some highs and lows, whatever you want to call it.  So whatever you have buying power left, you buy it. So I feel like the dynamic was just so good. There was just a lot of money to be made then. I mean, it's something that I think, I mean, it's pretty easy to set alerts for that kind of stuff. But it's just being there in the after hour on a Friday, which is like a luck of the draw. Like who's really there? And sometimes that's when the biggest trade happens, unfortunately. Usually it's earlier, because I was sitting at my desk on the Fridays that I was sitting at my desk at the Friday that like Uber and Lululemon, because they're recent additions as well. But I want to say that those both, they came out at 415 or 420. So the 515 announcement is just late. I mean, I could be wrong. So please don't troll me on the comments about that. But I want to say that it was just earlier on that Friday afternoon where people were probably still there. Maybe that's why it was just a little delayed as well. People weren't there and they had to rush back or open up their phones or do whatever they had to do. Because it was a kind of a quiet Friday and to get involved. Yeah, I think it's, these are great opportunities. I never traded that many of the add, delete whatever the strategy is called. But it's whenever things are getting added to, like the spy, the doubt, the cues and whatever something is leaving. It's like it's a pretty good trade. I know a lot of people are going to be looking to short that stock example the day after that it gets like, you know, they stopped buying it for the ad. I don't know if you're familiar with that strategy.  And we can talk about that. But yeah, I mean, just because all of the funds that haven't added their allocations are going to get in on that print the day that it closes. Is there a short opportunity, you know, like that volume goes off at the closing print.  You know, is there a short opportunity that you can you can short it? Because now all those funds have added it, but it's still going to track the market. So if the market's going to go back up, then everyone who's long and they have to buy it or the tracking ETFs have to buy it. So it's not going to trade us freely, right? I think that's the key. So people are going to keep trading people might keep trading SMCI. But Tesla, for example, when that was added to the SMB 500 that the way that traded really changed when that was added to the SMB 500 just because so many more funds and ETFs had to start tracking it. You know, so that's maybe that's something to consider. But I wouldn't say that it's a flat out short. No, I wouldn't say that because that just wouldn't be too easy. But it's, I mean, I don't remember who I spoke about that strategy introduced me, but it was, it was like, sometimes it's going to be a good, like a very scalpy trade that you can take that has like a very high win rate. But I'm not, I don't think I'll be even looking for that trade. I'm not really interested in I try to do less of the one minute unless it's a news thing. But I mean, it's it's a strategy that exists. Definitely not a popular one on the internet, because that's just shorting small cap. But it is a strategy that exists. And but I think the better trade was really just about this SMCI when it got added.  But even if you wanted just to trade it like properly with just like, very like, you know, risking one hour 1.5 hour, whatever you want to risk it, like the way it traded on that news, we had like a really fresh catalyst, a stock that was super in play. You know, something that could have so much range, and you didn't really have to risk that much. Like you technically had such you had probably the five, 10 points of risk for like a few hundred bucks, through 100 points, like a 10 to one hour risk reward. Like it was just a really good opportunity. And when I could consider this, probably the best one of the month is just on the risk perspective that you didn't really have to risk that much. I think that what makes that trade really great. Yeah. And I think the key is that there's a fresh news catalyst, right? It's a positive news catalyst, right? And as people start seeing these more, and as you start paying attention to these more, you'll see, you know, just like you said, the Amazon and the Dow, they gap up, right? So, you know, even if your risk is a little bit more, right, getting more of your account involved, knowing that this is probably the 99%, like there's a 1% chance that it references and use money, right?  I think the exact math on this trade that you're listening was you needed to get in pretty much at the $920. Your risk at the most was 900. So, you're risking 20 points. And technically, you were capped on, even if you didn't want to take it overnight, it went to 1040. So, you made 120 points, yeah, 120 points out of a 20-point risk. So, it's like a six to one. Yeah, it's still a six to one. So, you can still find those great, you know, risk to reward setups. Yeah. So, that was, that was definitely the one through me. I don't know if you have any other opportunity that you thought were better than this one, or you think that pretty much tops it off. I think that was just a great, you know, great opportunity. You know, maybe next week we can talk about some of these small caps that have been running, especially if they continue to run, because I think there's some really good lessons there. You know, but it just is, and then we can see if we're getting more and more of those, then those might top that SMCI. But we'll see, you know, every day in the different, every day in the market is different. And, you know, that's why people like ourselves love to participate, right? It's every day's new. It's a challenge. And, you know, sometimes it's about the game for people. Sometimes it's about the competition versus others and, and, you know, but for me, it's just, it's about making a living and giving myself like the freedom and the time, you know, to do other things that I want to do. All right. So, that's going to wrap it up. Thanks guys for watching. If you enjoyed, like, comment and subscribe. Also, leave us a comment or a question if you'd like us to cover it. So, thanks again. Peace.


Every once in a while I like to help you get inside of my head and let you know that there's a method to my madness if you will. So I want to kind of explain via a story time in good old fashioned tanimojo style about why I say to stop enabling youtubers like tanimojo and others. What is up everybody this is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel my channel is all about mental health and what I like to do is pull different topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and while you're at it make sure that you're following me over on Instagram at the Rewired Soul as well as Twitter because sometimes the YouTube notification system sucks I always tweet out when a new video is going up over on Instagram I'm trying to get to 10,000 followers so I can get the swipe up feature and I'm so close but anyways follow me on social media I do a lot of stuff over there all right but yeah anyways it's interesting Tristan my beautiful girlfriends over there taking a nap and like I get I get these ideas stuck in my head and one way for me to get those ideas out is to sit down and record a video right and I look at YouTube as a full-time job because it is aside from you know my writing and other things that I'm doing right but there's a reason why I do what I do okay there there's an absolute reason and those of you who know my channel and you're you're here to improve your mental health your emotional well-being and all that stuff like I'm trying to use examples that you're familiar with to teach you valuable lessons so I'm gonna share with you a story a little bit of a story of me working in a rehab and I can give you thousands of stories literally thousands I've been thinking about putting them in a book and by the way for all of my ethics majors out there I am going to change the name of people in this so I don't get sued but yeah there's something called HIPAA so I would never give you the name of you know clients or whoever it is right but I will change the names just to help give you a little bit more you know into the story you know if you will all right so there's a there's a story that always comes to my mind about enabling and I use this story as a way to teach people about what it means to be a good friend right and not enabling people so we're gonna call this gentleman Billy all right so Billy was a client who came in and insurance insurance in the United States isn't that great like I've mentioned before I worked at a very very expensive rehab but if you had good insurance you could stay there but most people could only stay there for 30 to 45 days maximum even though it's recommended to overcome an addiction that you're in treatment for at least in 90 days right but Billy who came in he is somebody who spent most of his life in and out of prison and all that and he was trying to extend his length of stay as much as possible and we were pushing to get him 90 days we have a whole department that is always in communication with insurance companies and they're trying to extend the length of stay especially if somebody needs additional treatment all that so this dude wanted to stay now one thing that you need to know about rehab or mental health treatment Tristan even experienced this working at a psychiatric ward is that there's two type of people that want to stay in treatment two types of people right so there's the first type who wants to stay in treatment because they want more recovery they want more help they want more therapy they want more individual therapy they want more group therapy they really really really want to work on themselves right I love those people I love anybody who's not trying to get out of there as soon as possible and they want to stay there and keep improving on themselves right and it's unfortunate because some people who want to stay there even longer they have crappy insurance well anyways then there's a second type of person who wants to stay in treatment that type of person is somebody who wants to stay in treatment just so they don't have to deal with going back to life right having to go back to work having to deal with you know all the wreckage that they've caused you know especially for drug addicts and alcoholics like myself I totally get that right so they want to stay in treatment well Billy he was the second type all right he was somebody who just wanted to stay in treatment just so he didn't have to deal with all the stuff getting back out there so in treatment you have case management and stuff like that so they're trying to help and you know help you find a job and all of that and Billy was staying in Las Vegas and part of what I did was I would help people after discharge so I was trying to help him find a job I think I was helping him find a job at the local Amazon facility here and stuff well anyways Billy being somebody who was in and out of prison a lot he had that prison mentality you see this a lot in treatment one of the hardest parts about getting sober or staying sober or even working on your mental health is getting away from the old lifestyle so anyways whenever I would do groups I always I remember this clear as day whenever I was doing groups I'd be doing groups in front of 50 60 people you know educational groups or book studies or whatever and Billy would be in the back corner over there like either sleeping or like doing push-ups like like that's what he was doing right not paying attention at all so I'm sitting there and it's none of my business because not my job to extend this guy's treatment but I'm just like this dude is just trying to milk his treatment stay as much as possible and he's not paying attention to a damn thing well here's where the issue came up with mr. Billy so part of what people some people do in prison is they start to get educated right educated about their rights and things like that that's why I don't really take it too personal when people like get crazy in the comment section because some people think that they're smarter than they are so what Billy would do was he he would start to like try to start this like mutiny with other clients right so he would like get other clients together and say oh they're not treating us fairly they're serving as this type of food they're doing this right and like trust I worked at a nice treatment facility like we're talking about like a chef and you know like you got a nice place to stay we had a room service not room service but like maid service so you didn't have to make your bed that was way different than the way I got sober and some of you who like went through treatment at a state funded facility or whatever like you're listening to this like I was I'm like oh my god anyways he kept trying to like get all the other clients wild wild up saying we should talk to lawyers and we should da da da da so the staff pulled Billy aside and they said look Billy like we're trying to help you out we're trying to extend your length of stay like we're gonna need you to chill out right so they gave him a warning they said if you don't chill out we're gonna have to kick you out of treatment so they give him that warning within a day or two Billy's doing it again they pull him aside again they say hey man Billy we're trying to keep you here in treatment but we can't have you trying to cause problems like you need to chill out right so it happened again and it happened again four times four warnings they gave this dude that's a lot more warnings than a lot of people get especially in treatment so on the fifth time on the fifth time they pulled him aside and they said sorry dude we got to get rid of you we got to have you leave right and especially in addiction treatment like like stuff can spread like a virus that's why sometimes they're so harsh kicking people out when they bring drugs in and stuff like that because it could just spread and affect people like I got sober in a sober living one person bringing in drugs five people will relapse it's bananas right so they end up kicking this guy out well that same night that he got kicked out I did a gigantic meeting the last week of every single month and it was at the sober living where like the both the men and the women clients from both of our treatment centers here in Las Vegas would come together and it was huge I'm talking like a hundred plus people right and I would get like my old my old alumni like my clients who had been sober they would sit there and ask questions give out the phone numbers to support other people that's kind of why I have like the support group set up and everything well anyways after that meeting since it's so big everybody would come and want to talk to me right I get so many people who want to talk to me you know ask me questions or thank me or whatever it is and I love it but anyways these young women came up to me not Chris Chris Chris you got to help you got to help you got to help I'm like whoa whoa what is happening what is happening right and they're like you got to help Billy Billy Billy's outside they they and I'm sorry that started giggle like I was a I did a bunch of dumb stuff while I was drinking and using drugs too but anyways they said Billy's outside he's drunk the cops are here and he's handcuffed on the curb all right so basically what happened was after Billy got kicked out after causing his own problem this is why I'm trying to teach you guys not to cause your own problems after he got kicked out he went out and got drunk and the reason I giggled is like I don't know what it is because I have multiple stories like this where people would get drunk or or high and then come back to treatment right after they were like doing something that would get kick get him kicked out you know what I mean like you got to help him you got to help him on like what do you want me to do like this dude had multiple warnings like sorry he's got to pay for you know his consequences like that's that's the way this world works right well anyways I remember the next day of treatment and we had many situations like this I was always very grateful that I never had to be the person who made the decision on who got kicked out or whatever right because addiction could be a deadly disease but I remember the next day like the tension was high between like clients and staff because a lot of people like this dude Billy so I was up there like doing you know doing a group or whatever and I kept getting interrupted I kept getting interrupted and these guys like I can't believe you guys you guys don't care he's a he's sick he's a drug addict he's an alcoholic you guys don't care you kicked him out you guys don't care da da da da and you guys think I give you tough love I said time out time out up in here I'm like you guys want to talk about how we're a bad staff we gave this dude four different warnings and got kicked out on the 5th the fifth time who the hell are you you think that you're a good friend how come not one of you not a single one of you pulled Billy aside and said yo Billy they keep warning you about this stuff how about you chill out man you see what I mean they were enabling him that entire time and then when something bad happened when the consequences caught up to Billy they want to point the finger somewhere else right so this is a prime example of enabling so that's why I talk about enabling when it comes to tanimojo and other youtubers right and it's not just the audience it's not just the stands it's their friends and who they surround themselves with if you look at youtubers and their friends and who surround who they surround themselves with it's a bunch of people enabling them right it's a bunch of people enabling their behavior why do you think tana con happened you watched the documentaries she had a bunch of friends gassing her up how come not one single person pulled tana aside and said yo you shouldn't be trying to run a convention out of anger that that's not good right but we as viewers need to think about the part that we're playing in enabling them to the positive reinforcement that we're giving them the views the subscriptions buying their merch right we are we are giving them positive reinforcement so why would they stop why would they ever stop doing what they're doing when we are enabling that behavior right but the second commentator on youtube says something bad about that person you run to their defense all right do you want to be a friend like billy had do you want to be one of those people who lets these people get go out there and receive consequences for what they're putting out publicly online do you want to be that person and then sit in denial like you weren't enabling them the whole time right so i also want you to think about this how does this happen with your own friends are you enabling their behaviors i used to surround myself with with enablers people who sat around co-signing my bs behaviors everything that i was doing and it was keeping me sick all right this is why i always tell you the best friends in your life will tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear okay and and i hate to make such a comparison but when you look at you know the people that have passed away when you look at people like mac miller when you look at people like little peep when you look at other celebrities who have passed away when everybody on earth knew about the issue but they didn't do anything about it right so i'm not saying tanimojo is gonna die which you know would be a scary thing because like i've mentioned in other videos like she abuses prescription medications all right we're talking aterol we're talking xanax we're talking prescription opioids we've seen video of her driving a car while high and crashing it and friends laughing and all of that right so think about that think about that for a second and then we want to push the blame on everybody else or act like there's nothing we could have done about it when we've been enabling these people for years all right so that's what i wanted to say and this was the thing that was on my mind i hope you enjoyed that story time if you want me to do more videos like this kind of explaining like real life scenarios that i've been in that i've dealt with whether in my own recovery or whether working in treatment or whatever like every single thing i teach you on this channel is something that i've witnessed whether it's people failing or people succeeding right i know sometimes it feels like i focus on the negative but i also try to point out when people are succeeding like this whole thing with improving your mental health is not doing what isn't working and finding people who are doing things that do work and emulating that behavior right but the problem that we have which i have more videos coming out on is people emulate the negative influences and then they wonder why their life is so hectic and a mess you know what i mean anyways if you like me doing more story time type of videos to kind of intertwine these two things a little bit more without all you know without neuroscience or psychology just my personal experience let me know down in the comments below all right anyways that's all i got for this video if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because i make a ton of videos and a huge huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on patreon you're all amazing and if you would like to become a patron click or tap right there all right and please please don't forget to follow me over on instagram at the rewired soul and i'm also the same on twitter all right thanks again for watching i'll see you next time


My name is Barbara Cesare, the managing director of AB Consultants. AB Consultants is based in Nairobi and we're an independent market driver seeking to increase the uptake of inclusive insurance and micro-insurance across Africa. All the opportunities we see for human well and complete insurance is too prompt. There's this insurance side where insurance have an opportunity to build a business case around increasing their market share, possibly making a profit and in the process protecting lives. On the other side we see an opportunity for innovation and leveraging other existing insurance schemes that have been launched and therefore protecting the people who live closest to wildlife who then have to pay the ultimate price of living next to wildlife. So protecting them or rather giving compensation for death and injuries for crop, livestock and property damage. I think there will be several challenges. Firstly, insurance is a business that has largely not been trusted by people, not being used by many people. So when you are layering a service that may not necessarily be trusted on top of an issue that is a conflict related to human wildlife conflict, then we do expect some issues there. The whole plan to mitigate that is through consumer education and some of the ideas we have are using gamification to teach people about how insurance works. The other challenges we see is around verification of claims and how quickly. One of the findings from our research is that people would prefer timely payments rather than huge payments. So how do you then quickly leverage technology to ensure that you make the payments as fast as possible. So what we are hoping is that the government can go ahead to launch a pilot or even the food scheme in Kenya. This will give us an opportunity to learn and to see how learnings from Kenya could be transferred to other countries and other ecosystems. I think a lot of people around the world are waiting to see what happens in Kenya and how we can then transfer this knowledge. The other part is we really need to measure the impact of this scheme, whether it actually reduces retaliatory killings on wildlife and whether we can actually save lives through providing medical evacuation and of course just comfort during that difficult moment to families.

Eternus is a new anti-aging supplement that looks amazing from all perspectives. It contains 36 ingredients, it has a premium package and it comes at a decent price. But does it really work and is it worth taking? Let's find out! Hey, what's up, Greg here, the founder of your inception. Welcome to my channel, where you can learn top secrets about Neutropics. Subscribe below to start your journey. So I was one of the first guys who was able to test and review Eternus and I'm very happy for that. Now, I'm not sponsored by the brand in any way, so this is my honest review based on my experimentation based on my research. Today we're going to talk about this interesting supplement that was just recently introduced to the market and it's a very spectacular product. As I said before, it contains 36 ingredients and it very rarely happens you come across a product with so many ingredients combined. Now in this video, I want to share with you my experience with Eternus, what to expect from it, if it works or not. I'm going to share a couple of stuff you should definitely know before taking it and at the end of this video, I'm going to tell you my recommendation if I recommend it or not. Now, Eternus was designed and developed to amplify productivity, to promote restful sleep, to upgrade your energy levels, to support mitochondrial fitness, to promote healthy inflammation or response and to provide support for handling stress. So as you can see, this is a very advanced supplement that comes with one issue, which is you have to take around eight capsules every single day five days in a row to get all the benefits out of this supplement. Now, is this worth a struggle or not? Let's find out. So my experience with Eternus was quite interesting.  If you search for a supplement that would provide such immediate benefits, then you know, if you have to look at other products from your hacker collective or Alginotropic stacks below, you can find a link with more information about them. But this particular supplement was designed, as I said at the beginning, as an anti-aging, as a longevity supplement that, you know, really provides a whole range of benefits that can definitely benefit your long-term performance. And there are not many products like this on the market right now. So that's why I believe Eternus definitely set new standards there on the market. I think you should definitely look into it because it can provide some amazing benefits. Now, let's go back to my experience. I've been taking in the morning with my breakfast. I took, you know, from four to eight capsules per day as it is recommended. Now, I said it before, it's a bit of a struggle to take all those capsules at the same time, at least for me personally. But, you know, this is part of the game. Some people will be fine with that. Some people won't like it. I think this is one of the disadvantages of this supplement, because, you know, all those ingredients are combined, you know, that they can provide a lot of benefits.  So, you know, this is something to keep in mind, and I definitely have to share with you. Besides that, I felt no real negative side effects. Nothing really happened to you. You take the capsules and, you know, you're good for the day. Now, if someone will report that, you know, when they take it turns, they feel some, you know, amazing benefits immediately. Like, you know, they feel more motivated, more focused. You know, this might happen, but, you know, based on the research, based on the ingredients that it turns contains, this is probably just a placebo.  But, apart from that, my experience with the product was pretty good. Like, I expected it to be, as I said before, the packages is pretty premium. It's a nice product. In terms of side effects, I didn't really feel any kind of issues with taking so many capsules. So, apart from the fact that I had to take so many capsules, I felt pretty good. Now, if you look at the ingredients for a second, as I said before, 36 ingredients. You have a whole bunch of vitamins, a whole bunch of minerals, herbs, amino acids, and other metropics combined at pretty decent dosages. Now, is it advantage to have so many ingredients compound or is the disadvantage? In my opinion, it's really hard to say. I think the ingredients that are in this product are very high quality. They were well researched, at least most of them. And I think the research and development team from the Nero Hacker Collective, they knew why they put all those ingredients together. Now, we don't really know what's going to happen in the long term if you take the supplement or if you combine all those ingredients together. So, that's why I don't want to spend too much time talking about particular compounds in the stack because there are just so many ingredients, so many interesting ingredients that provide potential benefits for your performance, for your longevity, even for anti-aging and so on. But I'm really looking to see if I'm going to take it, turn us in the longer period, what's going to happen, how will it work for me, and of course, for you then, because that's what we're looking for. We're looking at a supplement here that can potentially provide all those amazing benefits, but we have to see what's going to happen when you take it for a couple of weeks. Now, based on my research, there's nothing to worry about when it comes to side effects. You shouldn't expect any kind of negative side effects. If you do, of course, consult your doctor immediately, but those ingredients are pretty natural in this stack. They're very safe, at least, again, most of them, that are well researched. And I think in general, there's nothing to worry about. But if you do feel any kind of issues, it might be a bit more challenging to figure out which compound, which ingredient in the stack is causing those issues. That's why combining all those supplements together, it's not always such an advantage. But when it comes to this particular product from the Neer Hacker Collective, I'm pretty optimistic that it should provide amazing benefits in the long term as well. Now, as I've said before, the recommend dose is eight capsules in the morning, and you should take it for four to five days in a row. So you should be cycling it. This means taking five days in a row and staying two days off. Personally, I would recommend you taking during the week and staying off during the week. And it's just super simple to do that, super simple to remember. And this should definitely work for you. Now, during my review process, I found some other reviews of people who also were able to test alternatives, who were able to experiment with it a bit. And most of those reviews were very positive. Some people had a better sleep and immediately improved sleep. Some people felt a bit better on the day. Some were more present. And as I said, I think it's gonna be hard to fill the immediate benefits, but in the longer term. I mean, you should definitely notice some benefits from taking Eternus. Now, in my opinion, Eternus is one of the most advanced anti-aging formula, longevity formula on the market right now. Of course, this market has just started developing, new products are coming on the market, but I think Eternus really has very high standards here. Now, personally, I believe this product was designed for a bit older people who specifically search for a product that would help them live a better and longer life. That's why it's a bit difficult to combine it with our products from the near hacker collective, such as Kualia Mind for example, because then you have to take like 15 or whatever capsules every single day. And this is really a no-go. So yeah, that's my opinion on it. But in general, I think this is a very advanced formula with a lot of potential benefits, a lot of great ingredients combined that you definitely wanna take on a daily basis. And yeah, I think it has a great future. Now, we'll see how the formula will be optimized in the future, will change in the future, maybe based on more research, maybe based on more feedbacks from actual users. But here's my final opinion. If you're searching for anti-aging for longevity supplement with all those benefits that we mentioned, I think you should definitely consider taking Eternus.

Lactobacilli are commonly found in nature and have been used in food fermentation processes. Researchers have developed two new genetic modules that allow for increased levels of gene expression in these bacteria. The first module uses a promoter from a different species, Salmonellatifimerium, which allows for up to five times greater expression than previous methods. Additionally, the second module utilizes toxin-antitoxin systems to retain plasmids in the bacterial cells, allowing for the creation of genetically modified organisms that can be easily removed after use. This research has expanded the genetic programmability of lactobacilli, making it possible to create more effective probiotics and other healthcare products.
