How I Reprogrammed Myself To Make $715,000 Trading

in today's video we're going to be talking about something extremely important that I don't think a lot of people understand how important it is to actually build a successful future for yourself as a Trader and as an individual and that topic that we're going to be talking about today is how you can actually program yourself what does it mean to program yourself why should you program yourself and specifically for trading what is the best way to program yourself what's the best way to view the market what type of perception and reality that you should be

living in to be able to perceive the market in a way that is going to bring you the most success and so I don't want to really want to waste any more time if this is going to be a completely raw video this is I have zero notes for this this is all on my brain and what I think is the best way for you to be able to program yourself so the first thing that I kind of want to talk about is actually what makes a successful Trader the act of trading itself when we're

coming into the market when we're looking at all of these data sets when we're looking at the charts our goal and our fundamental desires of what we want from the outside world are always going to be brought in whether you realize it or not in 95% of the time this is what's going on this is exactly what's going on I want you to listen the ideas that you set in your head and actually let me take a step back first trading itself in the way that social media conveys trading to you and this is the

journey that you've probably gone through is you never knew about trading you come along you find trading and you're like holy it's an opportunity for me to make all this money it's so great yes yay oh my God you slowly start to realize and you start to learn and learn and learn and you realize hey it's probably it's actually not that easy right if we could just sum up that Journey right you realize it's probably it's not as easy as what I thought it is why is it not easy well because you have you don't

make money you haven't made money yet and that's your equivalent to understanding is trading easy make money don't make money yes apparently it's hard because you haven't made money yet so you're tying the foundation of what trading is to the idea of money and this is and and you have to follow me along here because we're this is very important when it comes into understanding how to program yourself because we have to understand what the current programming is first to undo it 95% of the people that are currently traders that are not successful you perceive

and care more about the outcome than the actual process of what you are doing and you overvalue the idea of profitability and you overvalue the idea of trading instead of actually just focusing on the process itself learning it and understanding that you are just simply looking at a chart you're looking at lines and you're making a decision like a monkey to press a button it should be no more than that but we over sexualize and we over fantasize of what the idea of profitability is like oh I got a funded account I got an evaluation

I got all these things and we over fantasize and over over romanticized about the idea of profitability so what you can prove to your parents that you did something so you can show your friends that you can post on Twitter a screenshot and like think that you're hot it means absolutely nothing all it does is hold you back from success cuz it over idealistically gives you a representation of what trading should be when it's not that so to round this basically in your head is we perceive trading as a tool to make money that's not

fundamentally what trade is trading if you cut it back to literally as simple as possible you are looking at lines on a chart in drawing boxes and you are pressing a button that is what it should be in your head why should it be like that in your head Justin why because when you tie value to something and you put yourself in an environment and you know that there's value tied to it you act differently look at every single situation in your life when you tie value to something for example you go on a date

why do you why do you think maybe sometimes you're nervous when you go on a date right oh cuz you start thinking about oh this could be maybe the one and and and there's and I really like this girl and you tie value to the situation and you tie value to the environment which then causes you to become emotional right and you're doing this subconsciously right and and this is this is a video that is not meant for me to bash you this is me free flowing thoughts of my experience and what I've seen through

Traders and me just diving into myself and diving into my reality and my awareness with what I do and how I live my life and how I trade but that's basically what's happening is you're tying value to the situation you're tying value to the environment and you're tying value to what you're doing when in reality you shouldn't because all that that does is inflict more emotional decision-making into what you're actually doing when you set expectations for example on a date this could be maybe the one this could be blah blah blah blah blah and then

one little micro thing goes wrong in that expectation negative comes into your life and that that comes with every single thing and we go back to what I always talk about which is you must be a fully focused Observer when you come into the market you have nothing from the outside world that you should be bringing into the market you are not yourself you are not you when you are trading you are simply an observer that is reacting based off of the data that's being given to you so when it comes to programming the first

thing we must understand is your problem has nothing other to do with anything except for you being focused on making money every single problem that you have in trading fomo overleveraging being impatient being undisciplined always comes back to the source which is you are focused on making money why are you impatient because you want to make money right now why are you overleveraged because you want to make more money why are you overtrading because you want to make back the money you just previously lost every bad decision you do has to do with the expect

expect and intentions that has been fed into your brain ever since you even started to learn what trading was because trading became this idealistic oh flashy glamorous thing in your head that oh this is going to make me some of money this is going to make me give me my life this is going to give me my freedom I'm going to drop out I can do all these things and it's in it's imprinted into your brain that you've tied now this value to something that shouldn't be having value having value it's literally you are a

creative you are an artist that is looking at the art and you are interpreting it that is all it is is you are looking at lines on a charts like genuinely when we talk about programming dumb down your idea of what trading is stop caring like it's the greatest thing in the world stop caring and goting your friends and be like yeah I trade oh what are you doing I remember I remember I used to be in high school and I used to feed into this because I didn't I didn't know and I and I

and I was egoed at the time and I'm sure so many people that are watching this can can can probably attest to this when you first start trading you think it's the coolest thing you think it's the coolest thing ever and especially if you're in school you're probably trading on your laptop and people are coming up to you and you're like oh my God what are you doing you're like yeah I I trade and you feel like you feel you feel like a little you feel a little cool right and it's because everybody around you

and you yourself have now overvalued the idea of just trading like just the idea of trading not even the money just like you looking at a chart is somehow cool no in your brain it should not be it should be like you waking up and drinking a glass of water it should be boring because when you tie value to something that doesn't need value to be tied to you bring all of this extra emotion and all of this extra expectation of what you actually want into the environment and when you bring all of this into

the environment you will underperform it's like going on stage as an artist and and you have the expectation to you know wow everybody and sing amazing song and that's only that's the only thing that's replaying in your head you're not focused on your breath work you're not focused on your singing capabilities right whatever it is any environment you put yourself in with unnecessary expectations and intentions will cause you to up and that's just human nature so when we talk about reprogramming oursel the first step in my opinion to reprogram yourself to become a successful Trader

is completely dumb down trading it's not it's not special it's not anything other than drinking a glass of water it is you looking at lines on a chart and pressing a button like a monkey what is cool about that nothing is cool about that like genuinely get it in your head dumb it down so low where it doesn't it doesn't has it has no value has no value it's literally you looking at a chart and making a decision and pressing a button that's the first step cut the idea of trading being this cool cool thing

in your head it's not learn you've now gone through this entire process you've been so focused on the expectations and intentions that you've set to make money every single time you come into the market you're focused on oh passing my account making my money back getting a payout whatever it is and every single time that you reinforce that idea your trading is going to be affected by it so once you have the foundation that trading is nothing more than you pressing a button that's it right are we we should not be tying unnecessary value to

it the second thing we must understand is money has nothing to do with the actual Act of trading now it might do so in the sense where you need money to make money but the actual Act of what the market is and what you are visualizing and seeing on a chart has nothing to do with money that's like me looking at a van go painting and saying oh it's just worth $100 million no that's a painting with story with depth with emotion when you tie just the money to it every single part of the creativity

the process the actual the whole like thing that's actually giving it value is completely gone when you give value to something without the having the understanding of what's actually giving you value it's completely pointless so you have to learn to become an understand understand that process orientation will make you all the money you want and I something I always say to my students and something I just always say in general you will be the most successful when you are feeling like you are doing the least amount of work and it's the idea of exchanging striving

for arriving you can't brute force your way to success with trading and the problem is is every other aspect of your life that you've lived in whether it's getting fit creating a business working through school building a family whatever it is the that type of work is a very Brute Force work you are balls deeping your way to success basically you can't do that with trading because 95% of trading is you actually doing nothing it's you literally sitting there doing nothing and people don't understand this trading is not like anything you have ever done before

you can't be yourself you can't be what you think and how you behave around every other environment in your life it's not the same it's completely different and that's why being an observer is so important and not bringing outside life into trading is so important because when you tie these other things to the actual specifics of pressing the button pressing the button the intention of pressing the button doesn't just because isn't just there because of the data told you it's because you need to prove something you can't sit still you're doing all these things right

everything gets involved with the actual fundamentals of why you're pressing the the button to begin with so we have to understand the only thing that is going to make you successful is number one understanding that the work that is putting into trading is not your idea of fundamental work work can be nothing me sitting in this chair not looking at the market could be literally me working when it comes to trading because if I was to tell you that somebody sit on the charts for 12 hours right if somebody if if I took me right

now and then another version of me in this exact same moment that instead of was looking at the charts for the last 5 hours and took two unnecessary trades and lost $1,000 who do you think is putting in more work me or the guy who just lost $1,000 what the difference is is intention my intention is to not look at the market and not overtrade that's the work that I'm putting in but to your eyes it seems like I'm not putting in work it's not it's not true my intention is to not trade and to

preserve Capital that takes more work than sitting on the charts for 5 hours and taking random trades right so you have to manually shift your perspective and your reality when it comes to how you view work and putting in work to become successful trading is unlike any other job or any other experience you have to understand that it's completely different and you must think completely differently the second thing is good habits are the only thing that will actually make you successful long term you can come into the market make quick money but it doesn't matter

it's not yours the market will always take it back and that is the difference is if you come into the market with the intention to make money you will make money probably or you might lose money but always in the long run you will lose money because there's no habits there's no Foundation that is in place to keep that money that's why it's not yours making money doesn't mean anything if you don't keep it the only thing that is going to make you keep it is good habits and trust me get this in your head

trading is not about making money it is about keeping that money because it is very easy to make money in the market but the hard part is actually keeping that money and the only way that you're going to be able to keep that money is if you are consistently practicing the habits that will have to be put in place to keep that money what are those habits not over trading only trading your strategy only trading your system keeping consistent size not overleveraging being disciplined being patient knowing when to step away when you need to journaling

every single day asking yourself hard questions what did I do right what did I do wrong what am I going to use from today going into tomorrow because your journey is for you every experience that you have good and bad is exactly what you need to experience in that moment for you to learn if you're not looking it's a waste of time it's a waste of time look at your journey stop swiping under the rug saying oh I'm not going to make the mistake again you just did five times 10 times 20 times you just

blew 20 accounts and you're going to somehow magically expect something to change because you don't have the balls to admit yourself you don't know what you're doing it's fine nobody knows what they're doing it's trading but as the more that you just consistently push to the side that you don't know what you're doing or that that you do know what you're doing and you think you do but you're not and you keep losing you're not going to improve you have to be in a submissive State and whether you religious or spiritual or not I fully

believe the idea of God through submission has to do with the same thing in relationship to trading when you submit to God when you submit to the universe when you sub commit to life you will arrive at whatever your destination is and what your goal in the plan that you have in your journey when you try to butt heads with the world and continue to fight back instead of listening to what's being shown to you you're going to consistently hit a wall it's the same thing with trading when you submit to the journey and submit

to the process every decision that you make is exactly what you need to then get to the next chapter to then make another decision and then see if that either successes or it doesn't or if you fail then what do you learn and then that's going to improve you even more it's like you have to understand that your journey is extremely unique and it's a blessing your journey is for you it's for you and it's exactly what should happen so you have to shake out this mentality and shake out this Vision in your head of

what success looks like because success for you should look like coming into a day being extremely patient only taking your setups and even if you lose you come out of the day with a smile on your face because you did exactly what you should be doing and you will make money in the long term because you learn to program yourself to build satisfaction from building good habits instead of making money and this is the next start or the next step of programming you must program yourself to build satisfaction not from making money but from building

good habits because the out is what we tie to what the success looks like the outcome isn't the success the work is what got that that is what's important it's like a business a sales process a funnel whatever it is it's the gears that are running the system that produces the results it's the manufacturing of anything in life it's not the MacBook that you see that you bought from the Apple Store it's every single little piece that was put together to be able to make it a high quality technical advancement in society it's the same

thing with trading your process is what is actually going to make you money and when you completely stop focusing on making money and it's completely burned from your brain that it's even possible you get it out of your mind that's even possible you learn to become so disconnected it's like stop caring because you will make more money when you treat the market like you don't care about it then you will just sitting on the charts all day so I ask of you stop focusing on making money submit to the process every time that you have

a loss don't sit there and wallow sit there and say what could I have done better I made this mistake for a reason I made this mistake because the market is now showing me exactly what's holding me back from success I made this mistake I came into the market I had a bias I played against it and I took too many contracts okay that's my problem right there that's holding me back from success I know it you don't need to ask me what your problem is you know it you just don't want to admit it

and that even more is holding you back from success because you don't have you haven't killed your ego enough to say hey yeah I made a mistake and this is how I'm going to fix it you know what the mistake is you just need somebody else to sell tell it for you no you don't no you don't you're a lot more capable and powerful than you think you are you just lost on a day you could tell me exactly why you lost most of the time the problem is is you don't think that you're progressing

or you don't think that you are putting in the work or improving if there's not if there's not money on the other side of it you think that losing money means you're doing something wrong and making money means you're doing something right it's not true you have to understand and reprogram yourself to build satisfaction from building good habits and that means if you have a green day and you came into the market you saw a trade that was not your strategy was not your Edge and you took it anyway and you made money that is

you having the self-respect for yourself to at the end of the day look at yourself and say it's not my money it was a bad trade even if I made money because money doesn't matter we know that the habits are in place that is actually making us money so why do we care about the outcome if the process isn't in place it's luck and you have to admit yourself it's luck and you can't just push that to the side and say oh I made money let's keep at it again CU you're going to get so

I excuse my language but I'm passionate about this I hopefully you can see you have to understand and reprogram yourself red does not mean you're doing something wrong green does not mean you're doing something right are you building good habits is what the real value is in your trading and that you will see a success that's the first thing so let's let's recoup with we let let's recoup where we are so far right now number one trading is a different type of work you will be the most successful when you feel like you are doing

the least amount of work because you are submitting you are in submission and you are exchanging striving for arriving the more that you the less that you do the more successful you will be that is how the market works that is it number two view the market nothing more than lines on a screen stop over fantasizing stop over sexualizing stop carrying about the idea of profitability you're not cool the Market's not cool it's lines on a chart and you are pressing a button based off data that's all it is stop overvaluing what it is number

three everything that you do in your trading and every mistake that you make every failure that's holding you back comes back to the idea that you are more focused on making money than the process money is an outcome stop focusing on making money disconnect it from your head paper trade get away from the idea of what money is and build a system and build confidence with that system come into the market and focus on building good habits that is it number four that's the fourth one building good habits your main approach and your main focus

if you can get anything out of this video it is learn to be focused and build satisfaction from building good habits when you come into the market your only goal is to build good habits you completely disconnect from passing an account whatever it is the future whatever you are in the moment purely there looking at a monitor a screen with buttons and lines and you press a button that is it there's no idea of money anywhere there's no idea of money you're pressing a button and you're looking at numbers on a screen and you apply

risk and you apply your system and your patient and you execute and you walk away that is it nothing cool nothing fancy stop overvaluing the idea of what trading is in your head because what it is is it causes all the negative emotion to come in and you up so hope hopefully you enjoyed this little video reprogramming yourself is extremely important because your idea of what trading is in your head will impact everything that you do if it's some big crazy thing that's so far Out Of Reach it's going to be so far out of

reach the idea of profitability in your head is so far Out Of Reach you're grasping for it you're grasping for profitability because in your head you are trading as the version of you who is trying to be profitable instead of the version of you who is profitable because you've set up this foundation in your head where trading in profitability is so far Out Of Reach and so overvalued that you're constantly grabbing it instead of just being it you have to submit you have to submit to the process you have to fail you have to learn

you have to get on your ass a couple times and you have to get back up a couple times because without that you don't know and you don't learn and you don't become desensitized to it I can tell you this all I I want you can listen to this all day but unless you actually go through it you probably won't make the change it's like a kid you know don't touch the hot stove until the touches the hot stove and and learns it's hot for the people who have been trading for a while now and

you're watching this video there's probably not a single thing out of my mouth that you dis agree with maybe there is if there is leave it in the comments I'm curious but this is the reality of what trading is and this is the reality of what's holding you back that you can't see because nobody else understands the level of I think awareness it takes to be able to become successful in trading it's not just all strategy it's not just all risk management it's understanding yourself this is a game of you versus you nobody else you

have to have a deep self- understanding of your awareness your perception your reality in the way that you view and operate in certain environments and I ask of you watch this video again this time get a notebook re-watch this video get a piece of paper in a notebook and write down notes slam it on your monitor and look at it every morning so hopefully you enjoyed this video If You did leave a like subscribe comment do all that good stuff if you made it this far in the video comment the word rebirth rebirth you're born

again as a new Trader I guess comment the word rebirth so I can know if you made it this far but hopefully you enjoyed and I will see you all in the next video peace out
