[7]
questions every Monday morning now if
[10]
you have a forex trading related
[13]
question that is on your mind it's way
[15]
too late to ask me what you need to do
[17]
instead is check out some of the
[19]
material on a no-nonsense Forex on
[21]
YouTube and no-nonsense Forex calm /blog
[24]
and see if it has been answered there if
[27]
it has not go to the no-nonsense Forex
[29]
discord forum link will be provided down
[31]
below in the show notes and in the video
[33]
description so let's lead off with a
[35]
quick programming note yeah usually when
[39]
I say there's gonna be a programming
[40]
note it is not positive and I don't
[42]
think this one's going to be either
[43]
there will probably not be a new trading
[48]
video this coming Thursday now there's a
[52]
chance but a very small one life gets in
[55]
the way sometimes and looking forward it
[58]
just looks like all things considered
[60]
I'm not going to be able to put together
[63]
create edit and do all that in time to
[67]
have something out on Thursday so what
[68]
I'll do is just skip the trading video
[71]
for this Thursday and then everything
[73]
will resume again next Monday with the
[75]
new episode of the podcast not ideal for
[77]
me because I had everything mapped out
[78]
of far as what the remaining videos were
[81]
going to be for the year and hence the
[84]
material but we are just going to have
[87]
to adjust on a much better note though
[90]
the first six people who have become
[93]
professional funded traders either
[96]
through their own money or through
[97]
somebody else's money due to the things
[100]
they have learned on no-nonsense Forex
[102]
are now posted up on the testimonials
[105]
page on no-nonsense Forex calm now if
[109]
you haven't seen this page it is a page
[111]
with a form you fill out after you have
[114]
officially gone pro and obviously if
[118]
this material had something to do with
[121]
it more than six people filled out the
[123]
form but a lot of them didn't fill it
[125]
out the right way so it made me believe
[128]
that these people didn't really know
[129]
what
[130]
they were filling out so forget for
[132]
example and traders don't clown on these
[134]
people because chances are English is
[137]
not their first or even second language
[139]
so I don't disparage them for this but
[141]
for example there's a spot for your name
[144]
and they put their name and there's a
[146]
spot for your city and your country and
[148]
they'd say something like South Africa
[149]
and then there's another space that says
[152]
okay who is the company who hired you
[154]
and they would say South Africa
[156]
so either the South African government
[158]
hired them to trade Forex on their
[160]
behalf or they really don't understand
[163]
what they're doing and then the last
[164]
part says you know how to no-nonsense
[166]
Forex help you become a professional
[167]
trader and their response would just be
[169]
I love your channel so chances are they
[172]
didn't really understand the process so
[174]
those people didn't go up but the six
[176]
legitimate ones have and there's
[178]
probably going to be a lot more in a few
[180]
months once those initial traders who
[183]
first signed up for
[184]
maverick trading and funded trader
[187]
actually go through the trial period and
[189]
finish and then get funded so that's
[192]
gonna be really exciting that list is
[193]
gonna grow quite a bit but I know
[196]
there's some of you out there that have
[197]
already turned pro and just haven't
[199]
filled out the form yet so please do
[201]
that and once you have you will be
[203]
forever immortalized as the gods and
[205]
goddesses you are it is the Forex Q&A
[208]
podcast and episode 70 is not going to
[212]
be like a really like super exciting
[215]
episode to most people this is gonna be
[216]
a lot more educational but in a very
[220]
important way and I actually think this
[222]
is incredibly exciting them I'd be
[224]
surprised if you didn't think so too
[226]
but because there's a lot of you guys
[228]
know we're moving on to other markets
[230]
metals and oil and we're gonna add a few
[233]
other weapons to your arsenal very
[236]
shortly and is absolutely in your best
[239]
interest to understand what is at the
[242]
very core of how we trade all of these
[246]
other markets because I'm telling you it
[248]
is a great time to be alive with the
[252]
technology we have now that people who
[255]
were just like us 20 30 years ago had no
[258]
access to you really had to have
[261]
of a good chunk of money already sitting
[264]
around in order to trade or invest
[266]
anything and it was very limiting some
[270]
of the best trading talent out there
[272]
never had a chance to even get off the
[273]
ground so even now for example I bet you
[277]
most people think if you want to get in
[279]
there and trade the stock market and
[281]
really make any kind of impact at all
[283]
you have to start with like fifty
[285]
thousand dollars and you know if you
[288]
ever plan on trading more than one stock
[289]
at a time now most people don't have
[292]
that kind of money lying around but if
[294]
they did for some reason then they get
[296]
to trade stocks but then they have to
[298]
deal with a lot of the restrictions that
[299]
trading stocks gives you you know at
[301]
least things that seem very restrictive
[303]
to us as forex traders like your order
[306]
might not get filled or it's really hard
[309]
to short a stock and all the things that
[312]
go along with capital gains taxes you
[314]
know all that stuff but nowadays and
[317]
really unbeknownst to so many people a
[319]
lot of that stuff just doesn't apply
[322]
anymore you can trade what almost
[324]
anything nowadays and you don't have to
[327]
have a lot of money to do it now if you
[330]
have very little money should you still
[331]
go and trade them anyway no you really
[333]
shouldn't
[334]
I mean episode 33 of the 4xq a podcast
[336]
trading with a small account make sure
[338]
you have heard that podcast before you
[340]
start any of this but now trading things
[343]
like stocks and indices and commodities
[347]
are much more widely available thanks to
[352]
a little thing the Australians invented
[354]
called CFDs contracts for difference now
[358]
what these are in a nutshell I mean you
[361]
go super deep on these and if you guys
[363]
want to learn more about them you really
[365]
should I think but I'm gonna just kind
[367]
of touch on the base level ideas of it
[369]
but what you are more or less doing is
[371]
just trading the price of something
[374]
you're not trading the actual thing so
[377]
for example you won't actually own stock
[380]
in a particular company but through
[382]
these contracts you're actually trading
[384]
the price and then making money if price
[386]
goes your way and then losing money if
[388]
price goes against you and as I said
[390]
before actually owning some of these
[393]
things does have
[395]
our backs to it for one you know when it
[397]
comes to not getting your orders filled
[399]
which is something that stock traders do
[401]
struggle with every once in a while
[402]
especially if they have a certain price
[405]
they want to set a stop loss at if
[408]
things go down fairly fast there might
[410]
not be anybody there to buy your falling
[414]
stock and while price running beyond our
[417]
stop-loss really only happens on those
[419]
rare flash crash moments or those really
[422]
big gaps that you almost never see you
[424]
know this can happen to an actual stock
[426]
trader a lot more often because of their
[429]
orders not getting filled to where we
[431]
are very spoiled as forex traders we
[433]
always get our orders filled when we
[435]
want really for two reasons and is the
[438]
same with CFDs one the market is so
[441]
liquid there's always somebody out there
[443]
to take the other side of your trade if
[444]
you're dealing with an ECCN broker for
[446]
example or you have a dealing desk
[448]
broker that is just automatically
[450]
required to take the other side of your
[453]
trade and my trade and everybody else's
[455]
trade that actually deals with that
[457]
particular broker and CFDs are the same
[459]
way they have to take the other side of
[461]
your trade now I also did a podcast on
[464]
this the dealing desk versus ECM broker
[467]
I forgot what number it was but the main
[470]
point of dealing desk is there's nothing
[471]
to be afraid of dealing desk brokers are
[474]
required to take the other side of
[476]
everybody's trade no matter who it is
[478]
whoever that trader is terrible or
[482]
whether that trader is an amazing trader
[484]
they are forced to take the other side
[486]
of everybody's trade and this actually
[488]
does create great opportunities to get
[491]
your order filled every single time
[493]
because they physically have to and this
[496]
also means they are required to honor
[498]
your stop-loss wherever you put it and
[501]
they are required to honor your take
[503]
profit points wherever you put it now as
[506]
I just said things like large gaps and
[508]
flash crashes and those rare occurrences
[511]
may not apply but outside of things like
[514]
that you can rest assured that your
[515]
order is going to be accepted and like I
[518]
was alluding to earlier as well you can
[520]
short anything you want just as easy as
[524]
you can go long the
[526]
is phenomenal I mean for example let's
[529]
say you were more of a long-term trader
[531]
and the market finally does start to go
[534]
into recession which it is bound to do
[537]
at some point you're probably not going
[540]
to want to take many long trades to her
[542]
back in the day unless you were an
[544]
options trader and then your trade was
[546]
limited in to how far could actually go
[548]
you really couldn't short an entire
[552]
index or if you actually could it was
[554]
very hard to do as much more of a
[556]
process to where today you can just
[558]
click a button and as soon as you put
[560]
your numbers in after that
[561]
voila you are in a short trade and last
[564]
time the recession actually took place
[567]
which was more than 11 years ago very
[570]
few people even knew they could do this
[573]
and even if they could there are very
[576]
few brokers out there that would even
[578]
have CFDs to offer but now anybody can
[581]
take huge advantage of a recession I've
[584]
already told you before how holding
[586]
precious metals can do this want to
[588]
profit off the recession but don't want
[589]
to hold a bunch of precious metals fine
[591]
now you can buy riding one of the big
[594]
stocks all the way down by writing an
[597]
entire index all the way down and it's
[600]
things like this that make me believe
[602]
that there's a real reason why the big
[604]
recession has not happened yet even
[607]
though it should have by now you guys
[609]
know me I always think there are greater
[611]
powers at play like greater human powers
[613]
that are pulling the strings because no
[616]
matter what happens and really
[617]
especially in recessions the mega-rich
[619]
become even more mega rich because I
[623]
really do think there are
[624]
decision-makers at the top that decide
[626]
when these huge financial events
[628]
actually start to take place and because
[631]
they all follow the same pathology
[633]
it's like Warren Buffett said when
[634]
there's blood in the streets
[636]
you buy now the opposite side of that
[638]
would be when everybody out there is
[640]
saying go long on the stock market
[642]
that's exactly the point in time when
[644]
it's going to crash and that is what
[646]
happened in 2008 everybody wanted to go
[650]
long the stock market back in 2008 don't
[654]
believe me they made an entire movie
[656]
about really the only five major players
[660]
in the
[660]
that knew a big recession was coming and
[663]
I think out of those five a few of those
[665]
had to be convinced now I'm sure there
[667]
were other people out there talking
[669]
about it but very very few to the point
[671]
to where those five people were
[673]
ridiculed the entire movie until the
[676]
market actually started to fall and the
[678]
movie for those who don't know or too
[679]
young to know it was called the Big
[680]
Short great movie by the way but since
[684]
then social media has blown up so much
[687]
you have so much more education out
[690]
there now then you had back then
[691]
especially on the financial side
[693]
nowadays the people who are thinking the
[696]
markets gonna crash anytime now are
[697]
still in a pretty big minority but that
[699]
minority is much much larger than it was
[703]
back in 2008 you have entire podcasts
[706]
hosted by people that are telling you
[708]
the entire financial market is gonna
[710]
come crashing down and highlighting
[712]
every single reason why and the major
[715]
financial networks out there are still
[717]
trying to block it out the best they can
[718]
but there's only so much they can do
[720]
education has spread and many many more
[724]
people now understand the warning signs
[728]
understand all the things that happened
[730]
before previous recessions and how a lot
[731]
of those things are happening right now
[733]
and even though there's not many of us
[736]
it's still enough people to where we
[738]
just haven't been able to get that great
[740]
stock market euphoria out there that we
[744]
need right before everything comes
[746]
crashing down and not only that we are
[750]
now armed with things like CFDs and a
[754]
couple other things I'm going to talk
[756]
about in later videos to help us come
[758]
out huge winners when this recession
[761]
finally does hit to date there have
[764]
already been a number of downward fakes
[767]
trying to get us to make a move too soon
[770]
and if I was going to make a prediction
[772]
I would say there's probably going to be
[773]
a few more but the overall point no
[777]
matter where you think the market is
[778]
going to go is that no matter which way
[780]
it goes now we can do something about it
[784]
and we can trade it every single trading
[787]
day thanks to CFDs
[791]
now Americans I know we don't
[793]
access to this like I said before find
[796]
away I'm not sure how much time you have
[798]
left until things really start to fall
[800]
in the stock market but when the time
[802]
does come you are going to want to take
[804]
advantage of these because this really
[805]
opens up the game to everybody
[808]
regardless of income level so those of
[810]
you out there who are from a place to
[812]
where you just don't make any money in
[814]
the grand scheme of things if you have a
[817]
laptop and you can trade you can still
[819]
become very good at this and then be
[822]
able to shop yourself out there to
[824]
people who might be really interested in
[826]
somebody who is really really good at
[828]
trading oil for example or really good
[831]
at trading the Nifty which is india's
[833]
stock market index so many different
[837]
ways to trade so many different things
[839]
that the generations before us did not
[841]
have so many ways for you to become an
[844]
expert in a sea of bullshit-ass experts
[848]
and so many different ways for you to
[852]
become an actual professional trading
[855]
actual large sums of money just like the
[859]
initial six people who filled out the
[861]
form over at no-nonsense forex.com slash
[864]
testimonials they are only the beginning
[867]
that list is going to grow and grow and
[870]
grow especially because now you can do
[873]
more than just Forex you can go out
[876]
there and now dominate any market you
[878]
want and I'm gonna do my best to show
[881]
you how so let's everybody give a
[884]
collective thank you to the country of
[886]
Australia for giving us CFDs and credit
[889]
house let's give a big THANK YOU to Al
[891]
Gore for inventing the Internet and
[893]
let's just embrace the modern day we
[896]
have nothing to complain about there are
[898]
more ways to make money and make a great
[900]
living than there have ever been in
[902]
recorded history
[903]
like by far but the spoils of this war
[907]

[909]
that actually stand up and take it might
[912]
as well be you so go get it
