The problem is the smartest people are the most silent, and arrogance is loud.

I stole a saying from Rick and Morty 3 years back when I first started trading :”Your opinion means nothing to me”. If I had listened to everyone trying to teach me different stuff I would not have been trading today (still struggling but my trading is improving so break even to 1% per month). I love youre videos man you are truly an inspiration for me. F**k the haters/people trying to argue with you. The fact that they get mad about your perspective of trading just means they are too childish and narrow minded to stick to the simple saying :”if you cant say something good then keep your mouth shut.” Anyways nice video, nice to see someone that gives 0 sh*ts about other peoples opinions.
@stevenlee5806
I’ve been frustrated with 99% of the trading community as well (I started 2019, by 3 months into Covid I realized most people are shamelessness in the content they throw out there). You breaking down your experience (not just this video) has been very similar to mine. Can’t thank you enough for documenting everything as time goes on. All the best Iman!
@soggywaffles67
Yo! you addressed a lot of the things traders don't want to talk about in this video. I find myself bouncing around trying to figure out what works, asking other traders what works for them, but at the end of the day, what works for me is what works for me. Not what some random dude does, if something works for me, do it, if something doesn't work for me, don't force it. Trading is a solo journey, everyone ends up at a different place, and takes a different path to get there. What's important is that you listen to your results/data, and never give up.

Hello! This is my first time commenting on a video in years, but I just have to say what a breath of fresh air this video and your channel as a whole is. So nice to see someone saying it how it is for once, and love your humour too :)
@faytesfox
As an unsuccessful trader after 5 years, your videos has spoken on many things i struggle with in trading and learning with communities. This video is a great example of why i struggle with dealing with the 90% of people i come across in this niche. I dont usually comment on youtube but with all the "ah ha!" moments I've had in this journey, i had to say something after watching 6 of your videos. When I listening to your audio i feel a slight kin-ship with the way you talk, present yourself and goof off, even my best friend who i can't get to trade, likes your videos(albeit for different reasons). you have helped me to see flaws in what ive been doing and the truth in what i have been thinking over the year, im shamed to say it took me 5 years to get to the point where im fully ready to put in all the work a potentially bore myself for the goals of trading i wish to achieve(that and its fun to go from gambling to learning with direction) idk how long this will take me to be profitable but if it takes another 5 years(which is hopefully shouldnt) i will be satisfied...ish, thank you for your madness inducing dedication to helping people as objectively as possible
@patricktoth-meyers5044
I've been learning to trade since April, and I find Nick Shawn is the only voice I connect with. Hopefully you don't have a video coming out on him lol 1. No one knows what the market is going to do. 2. Keep things simple and control risk. 3. Your risk structure will make you much more profitable than your 'analysis'. 4. Do a trading journal. I'm not profitable, but I'm much better than I was at the start of the year.
@androshchukx
@19:12 you briefly mentioned that you used to trade the "Opening Range Breakout" until you switched over to trading futures. Do you have a video where you go in depth about the reasoning for the transition?* *I ask because I ONLY trade the ORB strategy on the Futures market, and I am curious about your take on the strategy and its effectiveness. Thanks!
@LynessRogers
i dont comment much either, but honestly.. ive had thi experience too. it actually took a while to break a programming i didint realize i had after being taught a certain way. after wondering why it didnt work, i had to figure something out or risk being the definition of insane for literal years lmaoo. i dont teach because im not profitable or consistent anywhere the way i want to be, and i see how people fail learning techniques of people that say they are profitable, so im not sure ill ever teach, even when im dummy paid, because i realize trading is just a microcosm of human perception. its an objective truth that everyone applies their own lense to, and we have to find a unique way for it to work for us, otherwise we're just..sheep...lol. like how it is rn. lmao. i agree with your points, because its not just ridicule from non traders, is ridicule from "your own people" so to speak, and i think its played out and dumb . Luckily i havent seen too much of this cuz i keep to myself, i dont tell people wha tim dong with my life, theyll figure it out when they figure it out, im just focused on streamlining my process and keepingmy mentality in check based on what i found to work. People don't like puttin in the very work they tell people they need to put in. (myself included sometimes🤣🤣), but its necessary. This video, aside from calling out an actual problem in the community, has reinforced our understanding of your integrity and self awareness, things that are in staggeringly low supply in today's society. I'd love to work with you at some point in the future, and hell, we may just prove you wrong that no one will know who you are in 200 years.
@lol-qt7iy
Your analogy on that one friend giving relationship advice but hasn't been in a relationship is true but not always cause sometimes they be giving some real sophisticated advice lmao. However I see your point and do believe that people should really consider shutting the fuck up until they're profitable.
@baudouin9
ngl i used to hate on your channel out of ignorance when you were criticizing my favorite mentor. but after months of getting my ass kicked by the market for blindly following the "popular", i keep thinking back on the points you made. you are right. every trader is their own. realized too late hahaha
@caspar1031
This channel just give me the confidence I need to face the learning process
@businesscontrol5497
Iman, I’ve been contemplating the implications of different timescales in trading. Isn’t it true that the primary distinction between larger and smaller timescales is the relative size of your stop loss? In larger timescales, the stop loss tends to be larger, which could potentially minimize the impact of slippage and spread consequences. Consider, for instance, a scenario where you employ a ‘Super Scalping’ strategy on a 30-second timeframe. The rapidity of such trades could make them vulnerable to slippage and spreads, thereby undermining their profitability. Furthermore, when dealing with larger contract orders, the necessity for your order to be filled becomes a critical factor. If you’re trading at lower prices, the primary challenge is the lack of contracts available at that specific price and candle to fulfill your order. Have you considered these aspects in your trading strategy?
@traderr784
You are a "breath of fresh air" ... Love your reality and honesty. Keep the vids coming . Just found you and you're on my favorites list instantly
@hekamalutian5545
Iman do you rip bongs (be honest)
@tonykipperman9168
Impressive what you've learned since the channel exists. Took me way longer. You're on the right track. Ignore the haters. They simply don't want their illusions destroyed. In fact they're only a reminder, you're on the right track. Keep up the good work
@JASHALL10
Exactly. I also hate when people say they’ve been trading for x years. I was part of a forex group for a short time who had a guy who it took 15 years and $250,000 in losses to figure it out, assuming he isn’t just lying. 1 year for one person is completely different from another person. One persons work ethos is way different from another. Ive seen one real estate agent who spends 100 hrs per week while another other agent spends 5 hrs per week. At the end of 10 years, they can both claim to have 10 years of experience, yet the first guy has 20 times the experience as the second guy.
@WontonMan483
"u need to trade on a larger timeframe. there's too much noise on the smaller ones" This is where discretionary trading comes in. You just know when to enter, and personally, my trades are influenced by all timeframes (including 1m timeframe) and it allows me to catch big moves. In my opinion, all timeframes are relevant. Sometimes, the so-called ICT-traders focuses on fvgs, orderblocks, but they're typically broken. I tried the system before, and I failed miserably. What works on me is kinda similar on how you trade (place order, and exit quick). What I do personally is to place multiple positions and close them if it profit and leave a few position towards my target. Works like a charm.
@jivermesilver9925
What a great video that shows why 90% of traders lose. When people ask me isn't trading risky and just gambling, there's no skill involved I will refer back to this video to show. that this is the type of "traders" that statistic is referring to.
