It's like 6:00 a.m. This is an early wake up. I'm trying to slowly but surely be able to wake up at like 5:30 5:00 a.m. So I keep just knocking the wake up time a little bit earlier. I usually wake up like anywhere from like 6:00 to 7:00 a.m. every single morning. But today I'm going to bring you guys through little day in my life, little behind the scenes of everything that I got going on cuz you guys see literally just a small portion of my life. So today you're going to see everything. First and foremost, I just woke up and I had this crazy **[1:04] Speaker A:** Oh my god. Like I can I can't even turn my head to this side. So I'm already up. Like I literally moving my head in any direction hurts so bad. And I'm also sick. I feel like actual And I just got better from feeling sick. I was like myself and throwing up. And I just got better from that. And now I have a cold. So my life's a movie. And we're still up at 6:00 a.m. So hey man, if I'm doing this, then you guys sure as hell can. This is I don't usually do this, but I don't know. I saw it in the fridge and I like right now my body's on like 1%, bro. This thing in my back is is me up crazy right now. My throat is all up. So we're adding steps I guess. Cheers. What is the what even is this? **[2:05] Speaker A:** Ginger shot. **[2:13] Speaker A:** These are the three main things that I dig going in the morning. We get hydrogen tablet. Put that in some water. Some creatine. I do if you're not mega dosing your creatine you're stupid. I don't know where the thing where people were like oh you should take like five What even is it? 5 g or 5 mg? Yeah, 5 g. I take like 15 or like 10. I learned this because I can't remember who said it but there was some study where it was like dudes that ended up taking 15 mg of creatine like ended up feeling better, performing better, whatever, put on more muscle than other dudes that like just took 5 g and I'm also a really big guy and I guess the bigger that you are the more creatine that your body can hold and absorb. So last but not least we have electrolytes. **[3:19] Speaker A:** Sometimes or most of the time I'll do this but we had these in the fridge and we're just switching up today. So I guess this is what I get for traveling and I was only gone for like a week though. This routine will get me back though. You guys will see it like the way that I run my days here I love the way that I live here but let me drink these things. We'll get outside and to be honest it feels kind of weird doing this with other people but like I just like going outside in the morning and like just walking around my pool while I drink these drinks I just kind of like breathe and chill and look around because we live in Puerto Rico, and it's beautiful here. So, that's what we're going to do. **[4:18] Speaker A:** What the hell? **[4:23] Speaker A:** Honestly, getting in the hot tub right now sounds so good. So like and that it was funny cuz right when I woke up and I felt my like neck and back all up, I was like damn, maybe I should get in like the cold plunge. And then I was like yeah, no. Off the wake up, I doubt that would even like make my even feel better. It probably would slightly. We're doing uh chat GPT doctor on my on my back. Chat GPT is like the absolute best. Might have a muscle spasm or strain aggravated by my sleeping position. Probably both. It started hurting before I went to bed, but then after waking up today, my is up. Like hurts really bad. So, it's saying skip lifting and it's just saying don't do anything. So like this sucks. I was like I was hoping that it was going to tell me like one stretch that would just like fix it, but now you might as well just kill me, bro. **[5:34] Speaker A:** Today we're off to a great start today. I did my little walk around, my little morning check up on my phone, make sure that nothing's breaking or going wrong. Now we're going to go for my walk. I truly really try to get 10,000 steps out of the way every single morning before I start my day. And the reason why I want to keep getting my wake up time earlier is cuz eventually I want to be able to get 10,000 steps and my gym session done for like the entire day. We're not quite there yet. Slowly but certainly, eventually I will be waking up at five. Honestly, I need to just like say it and just start doing it, but I don't know. I feel like this gradual thing has been working pretty well, so I'm going to put my shoes on. Let's go get 10,000 steps and there's that ass dog again. **[6:24] Speaker A:** You guys remember the dog? I'm on a key. I'm going to leave this here and bring a different water because there was one time I took a hydrogen tablet and it made me like myself. I'm sorry, we're getting so crazy off like the first start of the video, but welcome to a day in my life. This is just normal. I took a hydrogen tablet and it literally made me just like go squirt everywhere and it was like so so bad. And that's kind of how this is making my stomach feel. I'm still going to drink this just later. I just don't want to go on like an hour and a half long walk and run into a little leaky butt situation, so let's just leave that. **[7:14] Speaker A:** A lot of times people ask me like why do you wake up in the morning? And for most people, waking up this early sounds like insane. I'm actually waking up earlier than most people that are going to work like a 9 to 5. And I learned this from Alex Hormozi. It's probably one of the best lessons that I've ever learned. Pretty much my entire day is completely packed out, full schedule. And then on top of that, once everyone else starts waking up, I start getting text messages, I start getting emails, I start remembering that I have some meetings that I need to get on. And it just ends up being a whole mess. That's the biggest problem is like once the day gets started, it's going to be impossible to knock out all the stuff that I personally either within the business want to do or physically like get my steps in, go **[8:03] Speaker A:** to the gym want to do. Luckily, I've been able to find ways to be able to, you know, like get the gym in during the day. But to be honest, I'm like not that good on my gym schedule. So that's exactly why I'm trying to wake up even earlier. But starting my day off with just literally knocking out 10,000 steps has been massive for me. **[8:31] Speaker A:** Cold plunge is lowkey calling my name. it. We'll get in that for the vlog. But this is this is a not regular day in my life. **[8:49] Speaker A:** You got to want it, man. I just want it more. I just want it a whole lot more, see? That's why you'll see that's why you'll never see another trader doing the that I do, man. They just don't want it bad enough. Matter of fact, the amount of times that I see traders get on their Instagram story talking about I have a cold. I'm not going to trade today. You're the type to not trade. You are the type to not trade. Me? no. Up at 5:30, got to walking at 6:00. It's up, man. It's up. Cold plunge at 8:00. Then I Then I'm going to get in a shower. Guess what? Shower is going to be freezing cold, too. You know why? Cuz I'm built different. I'm playing. I'm not. The shit's freezing, but high key feels really good on my back. I can feel it like soothing it. **[9:38] Speaker A:** All right. Last but not least, let's do it. **[9:51] Speaker A:** Man, we kept that at 45 degrees. I need to start doing that more cuz I feel incredible now. Every time I do it cuz like sometimes I will do it in the mornings and I'm every single time after I'm like, dude, I got to do this every morning. This is the best feeling ever. And then when the morning comes around, it's like, I don't know if I want to do that. But that just made my back feel infinitely better. I still can't turn my head that much, but it made my back feel a lot better. I'm going to go shower, put something on to go trade. We're going to trade, see if we can make some money, and we'll keep going with our day. Juice cleanse beverage number one, boys. I and fun fact, I literally just liquid myself, so and I need to go again. **[10:43] Speaker A:** So that's exactly why we're doing this to fix whatever the I got going on with myself. Let's do a taste test. This is what? It's only celery? **[10:51] Speaker B:** Yeah. **[10:52] Speaker A:** God. I'm just going to take it like a shot of tequila. Can't be worse than that. **[11:05] Speaker A:** Holy God, that's horrible. God damn, I can taste the celery. Well, that's a good start. We'll have the rest of this when I'm done trading. **[11:25] Speaker A:** And that's a wrap. Stream done. It's now 11:00. The trade is now back at break even. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do because we have high impact news coming out at uh I think 2:00 or 3:00. I'm already down 28k for the day. I mean, I already took on risk by taking this trade, so like I'm personally just going to leave this on, see what the happens. We literally just went ended up going sideways on both the indexes after making this first initial move down. I personally thought we were going to grab these lows, which was my first trade. My first trade was a short position. That ended up getting stopped out and losing 28,000. Now I'm in this one down to the same same targets, same bias, all of that. Um and we're just kind of floating around. We were moving down a little bit, but got smoked. **[12:18] Speaker A:** So now I need to figure out what the I'm going to do with the rest of my day. I'm assuming I'm going to open up my phone to a whole bunch of texts and a whole bunch of people saying we need to get on meetings. So that's the game plan. Let's get it. **[12:43] Speaker A:** Damn the life of a billionaire. Just drinking bro. Everyone wants to be optimal, but when it comes to actually doing it, it sucks. Okay, so as you guys know, my back has been having issues. And thankfully, I have a freaking registered physical therapist that lives in my house, my girlfriend. So she's going to try and figure out what's going on with me. **[13:08] Speaker B:** Are you before you before before you get **[13:11] Speaker A:** Right. **[13:12] Speaker B:** down. **[13:13] Speaker A:** Yeah. Oh. **[13:14] Speaker B:** Can you put your phone down? **[13:16] Speaker A:** Sorry. **[13:17] Speaker B:** Go down and touch your toes. **[13:19] Speaker A:** Oh god, I don't know. **[13:24] Speaker B:** And the penis where? **[13:25] Speaker A:** It's right here, like literally right here. **[13:27] Speaker B:** Okay, and then hands on your hips. And then arch your back up and back. So bend. Shift forward. How's that? **[13:35] Speaker A:** Fine. **[13:35] Speaker B:** Okay. And then bend down to one side. And the other side. **[13:41] Speaker A:** Yeah, I feel it in that same spot that I showed you. **[13:43] Speaker B:** And then the other side. **[13:45] Speaker A:** No. **[13:46] Speaker B:** Okay, go ahead and relax. I'm just going TO FEEL. **[13:48] Speaker A:** WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. BE very soft. That's way too hard. That's way too hard. That was way too hard. Yeah, yeah. But it's like very sensitive. **[13:56] Speaker B:** Tender? **[13:57] Speaker A:** Yeah, very. Oh, yep. Right there is where that thing is. Whatever whatever it is. **[14:03] Speaker B:** on the back. Okay, we're looking at your shoulder. Okay, Tyler has a bit of tech neck. He he sits at the desk all day. He has that rounded shoulder head forward posture, which which all know when he is at the coding thing. So, okay, come come towards me, please. **[14:19] Speaker A:** Please. **[14:20] Speaker B:** I need your head like **[14:20] Speaker A:** It didn't hurt me. **[14:22] Speaker B:** I need your head almost back. You can see how rounded Tyler's shoulders are. This one this one's a little higher than this one. **[14:29] Speaker A:** I think I have scoliosis, too. Do I? I think I do. No, I one of my shoulders is taller than the other one. I notice it all the time. **[14:37] Speaker B:** I don't know. We have to get an X-ray. But I could see. Okay, just relax. **[14:41] Speaker A:** Oh, that feels nice. All right, guys. It's funny cuz I was making fun of the people that do like regular day in my life vlogs and then it's like literally not how their day in their life goes. Literally everything that we've done today besides trading has been a regular. Well, besides trading in the walk, got in the hot tub, got in the cold plunge, and now I'm getting like my I'm on a freaking like massage table, but I feel way way better after all of that. I'm like not nearly as sensitive. I think that was the thing that was pissing me off most. I don't mind having some pain, but I don't like constantly bracing like my neck or my head from like turning one direction or another. So now that I can turn my head from like side to side at least somewhat comfortably before like I literally couldn't. **[15:31] Speaker A:** I was in so much pain. I feel a lot better. I wanted to go to the gym, but doctor said that I wasn't able to go. Okay, well, in that case, when I don't go to the gym, what do I do? I go for another walk. So, guess where we're going? On another walk. I'm not going to take you guys along with me on the second walk. We'll we'll talk to you guys after that, but I 'm going to go for another walk right now, get another 10,000 steps so that I can hit 20,000 steps today. And then um we'll sit down, we'll have another juice, I'll talk to you guys a little bit. I'm going to film a YouTube video. That's the sad thing about the days in my life. They are consistently boring. But having those consistently boring days of like doing the same over and over and over again, that's what's to get you infinitely better than the competition. **[16:21] Speaker A:** We're going to work on our mind, our body, and our money. **[16:26] Speaker A:** Okay, we made it back from the walk and I just realized on the walk that the whole point of this vlog This isn't even a vlog. This is It's felt like a vlog. This is supposed to be motivating you guys. So let's like lock the in and like let's give you guys some sauce cuz literally this entire day has been me chilling in the hot tub, trading Oh we need to see what happened with the trade. I set my stop loss and and take profit. It's 3:00, so this is actually when interest rates are supposed to come out. Everyone is already assuming that there's going to be no change, but let's check on the trade. And this actually leads into exactly what I wanted to talk about, which is losing days within trading and also like just motivation as a whole within trading because I lost my first trade today and notice there is nothing **[17:13] Speaker A:** wrong with me. I am not crashing out. I'm not punching holes in the wall. I am not screaming and crying like you guys do when you blow your fundeds, okay? So we're going to talk about how to deal with losses. Let's see if we ended up winning today or if this was a losing day. If we end up winning, it kind of contradicts the whole motivational speech that I'm about to give, but I'm kind of assuming that I lost. So let's see. Okay, so today we did end up losing both trades. I ended up losing $52,835. So this is perfect for exactly what I want to talk to you guys about, which is just losing trades and kind of the whole business of trading as a whole. I like to relate trading to a business because it is a business, okay? Within a business, let's say I run a clothing brand for for example, I have to make a payment for inventory. **[18:04] Speaker A:** How much is that going to cost me? Let's say it costs me $50,000, but me taking that loss and sending that business payment is eventually going to probably make me Who knows? Like an extra $100,000 if my margins aren't good and then I have to pay employees, so that's going to be a payment out as well. That loss is just like me paying for inventory. Or that loss is just like me paying for employees that work in my business. Why is that the case? Because in trading, your profit margins are 100% besides the small little fees that you pay for different sort of subscriptions like your TradingView subscription and whatever the brokerage fees that your trading are on, you know, it's very very low. Your margins are essentially 100%. So the only losses and expenses that you are actually taking are going to be the losses that you take throughout the month. **[18:56] Speaker A:** The only way for me to be able to create and get big wins is by also taking those losses. Why? Because when my strategy presents itself in the market, what do I have to do? I have to execute on that strategy 100% of the time. Is my strategy going to win 100% of the time? No, obviously not. It just gives me probability that I'm going to be right more often than I lose and when I'm right, my wins are going to be larger than my losers. For example, yesterday I took a trade and I made $96,000. I compare that to today's loss. I lost $56,000. So technically, if we group both these days together, I'm up $40,000. But a lot of people don't see it like that. They see it on just like, god damn it, today I lost $56,000. We need to expand how we look at trading and our P&Ls as a whole and our honestly like entire lifetime P&L as a trader across a much larger timeline instead of focusing on the individual outcomes as a trader. **[19:59] Speaker A:** Because if I sat myself down and I said, damn, I lost 56k today, how can I make this back right the now? I'm freaking the out. This is the worst day of my life, then what's that going to cause me to do? It's going to cause me to take more trades. It's going to cause me to overleverage. It's going to cause me to make poor decisions that is going to dig me deeper into a hole. The same thing as you guys when you guys are trading on these funded accounts, you guys buy a funded account, you guys might pass the eval. You guys might even be like one or two days away from getting a payout, but then you guys you fail that funded account. When you guys fail on that funded account, you guys start freaking out. You guys are like, oh my gosh, I was two winning days away from getting a payout. **[20:37] Speaker A:** I should have had that. And then what happens? You go buy three more funded accounts and then you blow all of them trying to chase that win. No. We need to zoom out on like a month months worth of time, on a year's worth of time and see, okay, am I profitable over this large range and this large time period? Because if we focus on the individual outcomes of every single day within trading, we're never going to be a winner because if we need to win every single day, it's just impossible within trading. So this was like a prime time example that I've I've always wanted to tell you guys about where like we need to focus on the larger long-term outcomes like, hey, am I making money on a monthly basis? If the answer is yes, like for me, this this year, I haven't had a single losing month. **[21:22] Speaker A:** That's actually like I think a record for me. I'm pretty sure most years I always have at least one or two losing months. This year, I, at least to my knowledge, I have not had a singular losing month, which is unbelievable, right? But if I sat down and focused and and focused on every single loss that I took throughout this entire year, I guarantee you, I promise you that I would probably have multiple losing months. And if I was trying to chase those losses that I was taking on a daily basis and focus on those individual outcomes of those individual losing days, then I would be in a much worse position than I'm at today. So what I want you guys to do is instead of saying this loss is horrible, no, that loss actually helped you get your next win because when you execute on your strategy 100% of the time with proper rules, **[22:13] Speaker A:** with proper risk, you're giving yourself the opportunity to get those wins. So when I took those two trades today, did I lose both of them? Yes. But what is that also giving me the potential, the opportunity, the probability to be able to do? To be able to win a one trade worth $96,000 in profit. This loss today or these two losses today are actually helping me get closer to my next win that I know I'm It sounds stupid, but I'm due on due to my probabilities within the market. I know that you know, 10 times out of 10 when I execute on my strategy, I have higher odds of winning than losing. And I know that when I win, my winners are going to be larger than my losers, and that's all that I care about. So, whenever my strategy presents itself, I'm taking that trade. **[23:01] Speaker A:** Why? Because I know odds are in my favor and statistics are going to be favoring me. So, that's a wrap for today's trading day. **[23:08] Speaker A:** It's 3 now. I've I'm already at 20,000 steps. I drank a bunch of that juice. I'm about to take my fourth of the day. Welcome to a day in my life. But, I'm about to go film another YouTube Inception, right? Isn't that Isn't that the movie Inception where they're in a dream within a dream within a dream? I'm going to film a YouTube video on my desktop while we're filming this YouTube video. A little BTS sort of thing. So, I'm going to go film that. That's going to be a fire video. Wait, I had I had the perfect idea for it, but now I'm like blanking on it. Oh, yeah, it's unfunded accounts. Okay, cool. So, I'm going to go film that right now. You guys will see a little behind the scenes action of that, and then hopefully by that time the cars will be done. **[23:59] Speaker A:** I'll probably need to again. We'll take you guys on a drive. Anyways, let's go film this YouTube video. Got to make sure the hook's good or else you idiots don't watch it. So, we got to So, this We got to literally make sure that this is perfect or else you guys will be like, no, next. I know I'm going to drop some bars, so I need to get your attention first. In this video, I'm going to be showing you guys the best way to trade funded accounts as a beginner trader. I 'm going to be covering what prop firms you guys should use, what accounts on each prop firm you guys should be using, and then also to pass the evals, and then last but not less, how to get a payout. And I'm also going to share the strategy that I use personally when I'm trading on these funded accounts. **[24:36] Speaker A:** So with that being said, let's get right into it. First, we need to understand what a prop firm is. **[24:43] Speaker B:** I think I'm dying crazy. I think I lost my page. I think I want to take a ride. I think it could be my day. **[24:57] Speaker A:** Boys, just got back having my last drinks of juice for the night. And that's honestly going to be a wrap for the day. I'm about to do a little stake stream. We're going to be doing some gambling, so that's going to be fun. That's a full day in my life, man. We did a lot of today. We filmed three YouTube videos. This one that you you guys are watching right now, a desktop YouTube video, and we just went and filmed another YouTube video of me like driving in the Brabus, like some different that we've never done before. Three YouTube videos done, 25,000 steps, shat myself four times, motivated you guys three times, and I'm about to go gamble. If I don't do it, who will? You know what I'm saying? And guess what? I get to wake up tomorrow and do it all over again. **[25:47] Speaker A:** We're probably just going to wrap it here. I'm going to do the stake stream, get all fired up, gamble in the slot machine. But that 's where I 'm going to leave you guys for today. I love and appreciate you guys. If you enjoyed this video, drop a subscribe. We might do more of these, and I'll catch you guys in the next one. Peace.
