you All right, folks, how you doing?

Hope everybody's doing well, and this is just a

Kind of like a prep to get your mindset correct on what's coming in two days and on the YouTube channel.

I that obviously you are familiar with my moniker.

I've dubbed myself the Demo Baller.

And I've always taught through the medium of a demo account for my own protection.

And I've had students come into my fold and question whether

or not it was something that could work in live accounts

because they themselves couldn't make it work in either a demo

or paper trading because either they could not find it in themselves to submit to the process

and the time required for their own individual development or they rushed

and did things foolishly outside of the instructions that I provide in mentoring.

So there's a small faction of individuals on the internet

that believe that these things that I teach don't work in a live account

and it's never really been an interest in me really to see people fall over me

and believe everything I say I've challenged everyone to put the things I teach to test see

if the things I'm teaching

you are in fact in the marketplace do they deliver more times than not does it provide

you a way of finding consistency over a week not every single day perfection

because I can't provide that I don't even trade perfectly like that.

A new trader can, a new teacher can provide 100 % accuracy.

But the way I teach

and the way you'll see me mentoring on this channel in two days is I take the yearners.

Okay.

All of you that are not trading yet or have tried trading and failed, you're yearning to learn how to do this.

Okay.

So I'm teaching with that mindset.

Now, some of you obviously may have already been with me

and found some consistency and some of you are doing exceedingly well

and that's amazing that's great and I'm thankful for all of

that but this is really meant for specifically it's for my daughter okay

so I sat down and figured I'd kill two birds at one stone

and if I can show a simplistic way of going in using the things that I teach

stripping it down to its crumb.

Okay.

No bells and whistles, no advanced theories or anything like that.

What can I do to provide a model that my daughter could look at and say, okay, there's not a lot of moving parts.

It's real simple for me to decide what it is I want to do and also when not to do something.

Okay.

And some of you may already be completely upset with

that idea because you want me to come out here and lay an arsenal in your hands of high -tech weaponry.

It's been my experience that the highest form of analysis concepts

that I've been teaching in my own personal mentorship many times creates exceptional traders, yes, but the majority of

them and them being my students they get bogged down in all of the content and it just creates

analysis paralysis and it's just too many things for them to decide

because like kid in the candy store you know what do you eat first

and while you're still chewing on the first thing what are you going to reach for next okay

so if you don't have discipline and this is a personal responsibility characteristic

that all of you are going to have to really assume.

Because I can lay the things in your hands, but

if you don't respect the fact that they have sharp edges or if you use live ammunition before you're really properly trained,

you could hurt yourself.

With that idea in mind,

I'll be teaching a stripped down version of my concepts in a mentorship style

so that way you can go through the process of learning how to do a specific trading model

and I'll keep things germane to

that model not trying to bring in too many things

and one of the approaches is to trade it with index futures okay

and if you are not interested in trading futures that's fine you can still trade read.

Forex with these concepts as well, but I kind of like want to drive it with futures.

I actually began trading in 1992 as a commodity and futures trader, and I moved away from grains and cattle and gold,

silver, crude oil, all those types of markets and moved into the bond market, the 30 -year treasury bond and the S &P.

So when that became my cup of tea, if you will.

I became a better trader intraday

and I put down the pursuit of trying to be a long -term position trader

because I felt that that would be the best thing for me

because at the time I was working a job

and had to balance all those things like working class individuals need to do.

They have to commute back and forth to work and those types of things.

So I figured position trading would be the thing for me and I found out that it didn't work for me.

Okay, so I liked the idea of short -term trading, intraday trading.

It made sense to me because I can make quick decisions.

That may not be your style of trading.

I will teach you how to apply the things I'm going to teach on the YouTube channel,

how you can scale that up into any time frame. So

that way there's no excuse for you not to be able

to use the information to at least better your understanding and price action.

Okay, so here's my promises to you.

I promise you, you're going to learn things

that absolutely repeat a lot you are not going to be perfect

it's not my goal to make you a perfect trader

it's not my goal to make

you a perfect analyst my goal is to improve your understanding about price action how prices delivered

and how to read the bias on an intraday basis a daily basis

and hopefully over a short term period of time you can find setups

that repeat and they have common characteristics that are very similar

but they won't be identical no they won't be carbon copies

but you'll see similarities that to know and trust

that this is a setup that you are familiar with okay and

because you were all being viewed as yearners okay

you are all yearning to learn how to do this there's three stages in this YouTube mentorship okay

I'm treating you all as greenhorns okay you're just yearning to do this a lot of you

that begin this YouTube mentorship will not complete it

because you're going to get frustrated because you want something else

or a alternative a way of me teaching

it to you I'm not gonna take suggestions from anybody on how to teach

it differently this is the way I'm gonna teach it

so it's as is it will not be setups given to you for trades

but I will take your attention before the fact

100

and draw them out on a chart where I want you to study where price will likely draw to next

101

and using the things I teach you conceptually it's your job to study

102

that okay do not look at that as a trade setup do not look at

103

that as a enticement to take a live trade

104

so it's my intentions to take the yearners that want to learn how to do this through a process of becoming

105

structured learners so you're going from yearning to learning

106

and hopefully at your discretion and timing you'll become an earner okay so you're in a learner

107

earner okay

108

so those three stages are what I'm gonna take

109

you through it's not gonna be an entire year mentorship I'm only do probably three

110

or four months but before we get into it I want you to know

111

that I will not be providing any content to the YouTube channel

112

or my own personal mentorship during the month of March okay

113

so March 2022 I will not be doing anything I'll be on vacation

114

and we're gonna be doing several road trips so I will not be working for you

115

Okay, so if you can accept that, then I think over the next coming months,

116

it should be rather entertaining and interesting for you as a student.

117

So you're looking at this screen here, and one of the things I promised

118

I would do in 2022 is to show you how some

119

of these concepts would work in an environment outside of a demo account.

120

I've always used the moniker demo baller because that's my name I gave myself

121

that to kind of like champion the idea

122

that I'm teaching through a demo but

123

if I can teach you through a demo

124

and things are repeating you can see your charts okay whether it's a live platform

125

or if it's a demo you're seeing the things that I teach

126

and if you've been fortunate enough to be in my presence

127

when I'm calling it beforehand it's very rewarding and you all on YouTube will have those experiences as well.

128

But the main thing is for you not to grow a dependency on me pointing to everything before it happens

129

because if you do that or if you have that mindset going in, it's going to stunt your growth

130

and in fact it's going to create a barrier for you

131

because it will create a codependency state of mind and I don't want that.

132

I try to foster an independent mindset where you're independently coming to the decisions on your own

133

so that way the results are yours.

134

If it's success, you own it.

135

If you failed, you own that too.

136

I can't co -sign for your failure and some of you absolutely will fail.

137

I said this many times openly and every time I've been asked.

138

In 2016 I started a paid mentorship and

139

I have students from that time period

140

that are still trying to find their way and they cannot make these things work for themselves.

141

I have other students from 2016 that are absolutely mind -blowing results.

142

And I have students from a mentorship group that was the final class in 2021.

143

I'm not taking new enrollments, so don't ask.

144

That group, I have traders that are doing very well as well.

145

So it's not a shortcoming on what it is they're being taught.

146

It's just an individual, unique experience that you have to grow and go through.

147

And I can't speed it up for you any more than I already done.

148

So I'm optimistic, but I'm a realist.

149

I know some of you simply will not do the things

150

I ask you to do you will not do them effectively

151

and you'll try to shortcut certain things and you'll think

152

that you don't need to do this and don't do that

153

and your results will be reduced because of that so

154

if I suggest things to you drills homework things to study do your best to participate in

155

that okay and even

156

if you can't do it live you know there's other ways to go through

157

and look at it it's not the same as seeing it live

158

but it's the best you can do

159

because some of you have businesses some of you have school jobs okay let's be real

160

and you may have family things

161

that keep you also from being able to watch live data in the times

162

I'm asking you to do it I'm not gonna jump through hoops

163

I'm not gonna do acrobatics to make

164

it you know feasible for every single one of you okay it's unrealistic for you any of you to have

165

that expectation of me

166

because I don't need to be doing this I love doing it I'm looking forward to doing it

167

but I want to make sure all of you have the right mindset okay

168

so in 2022 I promised that you would see how these

169

concepts work in an environment outside of a demo account

170

and what would that mean well it would mean not well not an MT4 platform

171

because years ago it's been shown how frauds and fakes can use

172

that platform to pretend that they're profitable that they can find setups

173

and that their trading is amazing and they can go in

174

and edit their trades after the fact after the markets already moved well I've already proven

175

that I don't do those types of things

176

and I went to trading view and that was the platform

177

that I asked my community so which which platform should I use

178

if I'm going away from MT4 I want to go to a platform that's reputable

179

so I teach and you'll see me teaching through trading view

180

so that's the medium that we use it's familiar to me

181

because I'm teaching mentorship students through that but

182

if that's not your platform of choice you're just gonna have to get used to me teaching through

183

that medium because I'm not gonna do something in addition to okay

184

but for a live account I felt that TD Ameritrade is very reputable and that it is regulated by the commodity

185

Futures Trading Commission and all of the other governing bodies.

186

I cannot rig this to make it look like I'm smarter.

187

I can't go back in and change a trade.

188

I can't fix it.

189

I can't add lipstick to it.

190

It either is or isn't a profitable trade.

191

It's as simple as that.

192

TD Ameritrade uses the margins that are accepted and established in the industry.

193

And some of you may not be able to trade a market because of margin.

194

Don't let that be a hindrance.

195

I'll show you how to work around that in other platforms.

196

While I don't personally use an MT4 account for teachings or trading live funds or anything like that.

197

I'm confident that students that are trying to learn how to do this,

198

they can still use MT4 or MT5 or any other platform for that matter.

199

I, as an educator though, moved away from those platforms because they can be gamed.

200

In other words, they can be used to fraud and fake.

201

results.

202

Okay, so in TradingView, you've seen examples after examples of me going in recording an entry,

203

calling the moves as it happens without the replay button because replay doesn't let you do trade entries.

204

Okay, and replay only shows you a completed candlestick.

205

It doesn't show you the generation of the open all the price action up

206

and down to the close of every individual candlestick.

207

So I've had a lot of folks over the years ask me to show live account.

208

Show live account, show live account.

209

And one of the things that kept me from wanting to do it is

210

because if I show results of any kind right away,

211

and this is how I viewed it too as a developing student in the 1990s, that

212

made me feel like I'm never gonna get it

213

because their results were way above what I could do as a learning developing student

214

I had no idea what I was doing in 1992

215

but to see people say yeah I made fifty thousand dollars in the soybean market okay

216

or I made eighty thousand dollars in coffee well

217

that to me was a very huge mountain to climb like I have to do

218

that it just it felt impossible but I also didn't want to give results

219

that were so low -end

220

that it didn't inspire an interest in having people want to learn it

221

so because this business is extremely unique

222

and personal it's both the easiest thing you'll ever do

223

and sometimes for many of you is the most impossible thing to be successful at

224

and that sounds like an optimoron it sounds like double talk and it is but it isn't how's that for a

225

rib you can't appreciate how difficult it is until you start trading with my funds

226

but before you start trading with my funds

227

and you're in a consistently quote -unquote profitable demo trading stage you feel like you can do anything

228

but something magical happens

229

when you go into a live account where now suddenly every little tick means something to you

230

because it means success or failure on an individual basis.

231

Whereas if you lose in a demo account, you didn't really lose anything.

232

You can take another demo trade, but with live account trading, you have to deal with that drawdown and that loss.

233

And making money in an account is sometimes worse than losing money

234

because it'll make you feel like you want another taste of that.

235

And it creates opportunities for you to go in and over trade and or over leverage.

236

And both of those things we'll talk about in the YouTube mentorship, how to avoid some of those things.

237

But it's up to you to avoid them.

238

Okay.

239

And it takes a lot of ownership personally.

240

And the responsibility that is required to do this is paramount.

241

You cannot have anybody else take responsibility for your actions.

242

It's your actions.

243

And if you do well, you earned it.

244

If you don't do well, you have to eat it.

245

It's the way it is.

246

And too many people are weak -minded in this world that they will never become successful traders.

247

No matter who teaches them what, whatever thing they use, they're going to be a failure.

248

That's just the way it is.

249

And there's no way around that.

250

I can't fix and improve everyone's shortcomings.

251

I have my own personal issues that I fight and wrestle with internally. And it's not easy.

252

Like I'm obsessively compulsive and I have ADD.

253

It's all these things that make it difficult for me.

254

And I'm bipolar.

255

So I have a lot of mental barriers.

256

But if I can sit down and frame out an idea that repeats at least once a week,

257

I'm confident that those individuals out there that are like me or without these barriers can do it as well.

258

That's my personal belief.

259

It doesn't make it fact.

260

It doesn't make it true.

261

It just means that that's my belief.

262

And I've seen case studies in my own students where that's true.

263

It's a transferable skill, but the skill must be honed by you, the student.

264

So anyway, I promised I would show some results in 2022 outside of a demo account.

265

So I used TD Ameritrade, but years ago I was asked to show a regulated broker,

266

non -MT4 and I felt that TD Ameritrade was a better choice outside of the standard

267

Forex account brokers because with TD Ameritrade you can trade

268

Forex, you can trade futures, you can trade commodity stocks, options, you can bond, everything out there you can trade it.

269

Eventually, over time, if you do become successful when you're profitable, you want to go with a broker

270

that allows you to have access to all those vehicles because there are certain times of the year,

271

certain asset classes just aren't going to do very well, but others will.

272

And this type of broker, and I'm not repping TD Ameritrade.

273

I don't get anything for it.

274

I'm not introducing broker.

275

I'm just saying that when I'm showing results in an account that is not demo,

276

this is the broker that I deposited funds with so

277

that way we know what I'm saying here I'm not telling you to go here

278

and trade okay I have only traded a few trades with this broker

279

but I can tell you their fills are immediate their confirmations are solid

280

I haven't had any problems technically it's just

281

I'm fumbling with the layouts the way things are made available to me

282

because it's like anything else when I'm transitions from MT4 teaching from

283

that being very comfortable that going into treating view it's very cumbersome

284

and I'm still clumsy with it when I'm teaching

285

and I'm finding it a little bit cumbersome here as well

286

because I just don't know where they have certain things

287

I don't know how to make the charts scalable as fast as I want them to be.

288

And like I'm used to doing it with TradeStation or TradingView or MT4.

289

So it's just a learning process.

290

But it doesn't change the fact that if you know how to trade, then the trades are easy.

291

So I keep everything very simple.

292

You know, I use limits and markets to get in

293

and I just collapse the trade when it gets to a target of my choice.

294

So that's all I'm showing you here today.

295

It's just to show you

296

that the things I'm going to be showing you are applicable on paper

297

and in demo and the same logic is used here.

298

And while this is not a lot of money, it's only $23 ,694 .11, it's not something to brag about.

299

Let's just put it that way.

300

But it's something that's not demo.

301

It's something that won't stay at that level.

302

And my objective is to teach conceptually a hypothetical income based strategy.

303

OK, it's not a trying to beat the World Cup.

304

OK, it's not trying to do better than every Instagram trader out there.

305

It's just trying to teach how someone can take another opportunity and hopefully in the best case scenario.

306

and I can't guarantee or promise it to you, but I'm going to certainly do my best to do what I know

307

and how I can teach it so that way you can be at least inspired to make an attempt to try.

308

Okay.

309

And because I believe that things are about to get really, really hard for everyone financially and without going into great detail,

310

just look around the world and you know what I'm talking about.

311

But this is the E -mini S &P March delivery contract for 2022.

312

Okay.

313

And it's a two minute chart and I want you to see the put of entry here.

314

This is a short it took and the cover was here and another one here,

315

a small little scalp in here and then over here I'm showing you

316

so that way you can see there was no other trades after

317

that short or two shorts rather and then today I slept in

318

and I just want to have something in addition to what I already have here.

319

This is kind of like one of the setups

320

that you're gonna learn in the mentorship where the entry is here and exits here.

321

Okay, not a lot of handles.

322

Okay, a handle would be like $45 .67 to $45 .68.

323

So, that's four ticks or one full handle.

324

In this market, it's $50 per handle or per four ticks.

325

So, every one tick is $12 .50.

326

Above this high is buy stops, and I was targeting that here, running into that.

327

Okay, So very, very simple strategy, optimal trade entry.

328

You don't need to get in at this level here.

329

Okay.

330

I'm going to teach you how to have forgiving entries.

331

You don't need to be highly precise about your entries, but you need to be precise about the directional bias and where it's going.

332

Okay.

333

Where's price reaching for?

334

And that's kind of like what I'm showing you in this mentorship on the YouTube channel.

335

So if I have.

336

at least giving you the opportunity to find setups conceptually.

337

If that's the case, then over time, if you submit yourself to it, you'll find more setups than you'd ever imagine.

338

They're there a lot, especially when these lower timeframes.

339

So, in a nutshell, what am I saying here?

340

I'm saying that if you can learn how to take 25 handles,

341

okay, You can take 25 handles out of a market like the e -mini S &P.

342

You may not have the margin, $12 ,000, $13 ,000 or whatever it is, to trade one contract of this market.

343

You don't need to have that.

344

You can trade the micros.

345

And while you're not making $50 per handle on e -mini S &P, you're making $5 per handle,

346

you can still graduate over time and build that up.

347

And it's not a lot of initial margin that's required to do that.

348

or if you're outside the US you can trade a CFD and trade the US 500 market through like an MT4

349

account and again I'm just going to touch on

350

that I'm not suggesting that you should especially those individuals in the states

351

because it's actually illegal for you to trade that

352

because it doesn't go through a regulated extreme exchange like a futures market would so that

353

It makes it illegal for US traders to do that.

354

So we have to, in the US, trade through the futures market.

355

And they have been nice enough to provide micro accounts for vehicles like the E -mini S &P and the NASDAQ.

356

They have micro accounts.

357

So whatever the multiplier would be on the regular mini,

358

it's just reduced to a smaller level in terms of margin and tick value.

359

And I'll cover all that stuff.

360

I've made it very very simple or at least that's been the goal I'm having going into this.

361

I'll make it very very simple for all of you to look at it.

362

Say okay I don't have to have a thousand moving parts.

363

I can go in and simply look at things that make sense

364

and if you can visually understand what it is I'm teaching.

365

You'll see that it doesn't require a lot of chart graffiti okay things

366

that are very distracting do you look at this chart here

367

and see a lot of things

368

that would be mysterious no very simple little things I'll draw a line to highlight a level

369

that I want to see breached okay

370

and a level where I want to see it reach up into

371

and that's the basis of understanding how the markets work within a liquid matrix you have buy side

372

and sell side and once you have that understanding

373

and I'll teach some of those things in the mentorship you'll be able to find setups

374

that repeat at least one good setup a week but

375

if you can find 25 handles a week in the e -mini market you can do very very well at

376

that very very well you don't need to hit home runs and

377

here's my inspiration to you in closing if we're looking at a market

378

that provides us setups and let's just say your mortgage or your rent is say $1 ,500.

379

It may not be that much.

380

It may be actually more than that.

381

Now I'm just going to say, let's just say it's $1 ,500.

382

What happens if you can earn enough to make 50 % or all of that a month going forward?

383

Would that not be beneficial to you?

384

That's the mindset I want you all to have.

385

Or let's say you have a car payment in your car insurance

386

if you could find a way to have

387

that money come to you by your own speculation over time not right away

388

I'm not suggesting all of you are going to be able to do this in the same year

389

but over time if you submit to the process I outlined for you

390

my belief is my personal belief my honest opinion is I believe that it is possible

391

now anyone can say oh anything's possible

392

but I believe the things I'm going to show you are things that you'll be able to spot on your own.

393

Now I'm going to coach you throughout the coming months showing you where certain things may deliver,

394

but I don't want you to feel like you need that.

395

So I'll teach you how to anticipate certain things on your own

396

and then you check yourself with the things I reveal or do a review with.

397

And my belief is that you'll be better at reading price when I'm done doing this YouTube mentorship.

398

And again, I don't think I'm going to be doing more than four months,

399

and that four months is actually including the month of March where nothing's getting uploaded, nothing in my private mentorship or on YouTube.

400

So, I will be vacationing that entire month.

401

So, I'll be doing those things during the month of March.

402

And in April, I'll return back to the mentor that I am in my private mentorship.

403

and I'll return back to the delivery of the lessons on the YouTube channel.

404

So what does the schedule look like for this mentorship on YouTube?

405

Obviously, Friday will be your first episode, and then it'll be a Tuesday and Thursday upload.

406

There will be assignments and PDF files provided for your learning throughout the week.

407

I'm not promising any specific schedule on that, but you'll be able to see them if you go to my community tab.

408

I'll provide a way for you to get to the information and download it.

409

And I think that if you submit to this, you'll be far better than you are right now about reading price,

410

expecting certain things to deliver, and you'll find that it's not as challenging when you have a good mentor and you have sound logic,

411

and it's not overcomplicated.

412

And that's my goal going in and until talk to you on Friday be safe

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
