I went to school with Robert Kiyosaki. He lives in Phoenix, Arizona, a few miles from me. He is a great guy. I have read the books. I am 73 years old and want more.
My first book was also Rich dad,poor dad. I read it at the age of 20. That book woke up interest for reading in my life. Now I'm 23, watching all your videos and living in a hope that I will become a successfull trader. Thanks for everything VP.
Hi VP, I hope everything is going well with you and I’d like to find you in the best situation, healthwise, familywise, moneywise, spiritually wise and so on, name it. You are an awesome, but I mean it, an awesome person, and it’s so tough to meet one like you these days. My name is Roumen and I am 59 years old, living for the last 30 years in Calgary, Canada. VP, you are giving so much to the community, and for FREE, that I feel obligated to write this comment, showing my respect and appreciation to the monster work which you are doing for all of us. I watched all of your great and precious, and 100% meaningful videos, and whatever topic you catch, you man, just hit the ball in the center. You are one great mentor, and very good in translating the forex language to the people, again, all my respect for doing all this. I started with the markets in the early nineties, the old traditional stuff, stocks, bonds, options. Never been a professional, but I’ve always been looking for a more efficient way to make money. After, working as a waiter and a bartender for quite some time, which I hated, I took the courses and got the licence for a mortgage broker. And…this is what I am still doing, boring business, but it brings the bread and butter in a comfortable way. So, I was doing my mortgages, making people’s dreams to own their own house a reality, and playing as a dilettante the stock market. But in 1997 I met a girl, who introduced me to the retail forex market. And, boy, what happened was like a thunderstorm. I am still, not sure what was the true reason, the girl or the forex itself, but this animal became one of my few passions in life (I mean the Forex😊). First, I started to self educate myself, Investopedia, babypips and so, the resources were pretty limited that time. Then I bought the “Market Trader’s Institute” of Jared Martinez, spend bunch of money on stupid indicators and systems, later got all the products of Russ Horn, Michael Nurok, Nicola Delic and so on, can’t even remember all of them. I don’t mean to say anything wrong about all of these guys, I learned a lot of stuff from them, and this was the main objective, anyway. I took, in time all the money out of the stocks, blew two accounts, the first, I opened in 1998 with 25,000 survived not even two years, and then the second, and the last for 85,000 (almost like the stupid Martindale Strategy) survived 4 years, before I blew it. Since, then I don’t remember a day in my life without spending, at least an hour dealing with my Lovely Forex, researching, trading my demos, news, educating myself, always looking for new and better stuff. Now, I am at a stage that I can trade, not bad even from a naked chart, but never opened a real account since 2005. I wouldn’t say that it’s a fear, but more likely procrastination. It’s like a crazy confidence, that if I badly need money, I can always go to the nearby ATM and pull whatever I need, I know that this is very, very damaging way of thinking, especially when you are getting older and the future lifespan is shrinking. Otherwise, years ago, I quit bulshitting with TF’s smaller than the Daily, rarely I go down to four hours for a fine tunning. Anyway, thank you so much for the incredible sessions, VP, it is a great motivation for me to go back on the field again😊 Thanks and respect! Roumen
What I like about your channel is it is not only solely for forex trading but also for certain aspect in life. You changed my outlook on life. Im gonna be the pro forex trader that I am destined to be! Thank you so much VP!
I found your channel before I even began trading so you have literally be teaching me everything from scratch, you teach differently from how I hear others trade and I love that. It allows me to have some type of structure to work towards as compared to just studying a bunch of random content and not knowing when and how to use it efficiently. Right now I am currently 18 so by Gods grace all I have is time to get good at this. Thank you VP.
EVERYBODY watching this video. There is one huge thing I’ve noticed after over a year and a half in this business and being hired by a prop firm, trading psychology is king. There’s a certain point you can refine your technical analysis too and after that it’s all marginal gains. But you can constantly keep making your trading psychology bulletproof and more bulletproof. I kind of brushed off when VP said in one of his videos that psychology/risk management is 70%. I thought that technical analysis was everything but when I got my trading psychology right and got out of my own way that’s when it all clicked. People honestly listen to all these psychology videos over and over again because they make the difference, don’t make the mistakes I made at the start by almost skipping them or not paying attention because they are what brings home the bacon. PS VP. bought your book today can’t wait to read the shit out of it lol
I started to apply your simple but effective strategies and manage to control my trade such as equity mgt.,eliminate sucking indicators and use only those 3 indicators below and 1 moving average on chart. And now I have no losses with daily , weekly and 1 minute time frames. Fantastic!!!..Once I materialize my aim to take more than 100 pips per trade then I will increase my equity. For more than 4 months in online tutorials from different FX gurus but still not effective... At last I found your tutorials that truly changed my trading perceptions that leads me to answer those confusions ...but before your tips be comprehend it should be accompanied with constant reading. understanding and application . its tedious but once we get it its a very huge accomplishment... Once again thank you very much for sharing your talent in trading .... Kudos!!!
I used to be lazy, I would spend my time at home playing 8ball pool on my phone, I'd spend my time at college playing 8ball pool. I got really good, it felt amazing so I never stopped playing, I had never felt that about something before, I'd never put any effort into anything, thought life would come to me but one day life kicked me in the face and I realised that if I spend all my time playing pool and I become an expert at it, can make the cue ball land anywhere I need it to be for the next shot at least 85% of the time. Why can't I apply my time to something else I'm interested in? Like trading and here I am, spending most of my time learning to trade, and trying to gain as many perspectives as possible from real profitable traders.
VP, i want to thank you for taking the time to give us such valuable information. I am forever grateful for what you're doing and i hope to shake your hand one day! Hope I meet you one day since las vegas is my home town.
I used to skateboard as a teenager and I have found Forex trading to be similar as far as the persistence needed . There were mostly falls and injuries before I could start successfully landing tricks. I'm not profitable yet, but I feel like I've completed my journey for who to listen to for guidance. My favorite takeaway so far is that you tell people that it's going to take their own massive investment of time to figure it out. That's how I learned to skateboard and I got pretty damn good at it, but it's literally insane how many attempts it took to become successful. I had the thought yesterday that Forex was going to be the same way. Thank you so much for giving back with you r advice and production.
Just like you I too came from the sports betting world. It took me far too long to realise the the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze. I am fully dedicated to your videos and blogs and will follow the program no matter how long it takes. Your videos blogs and podcasts are my bible. Can’t thank you enough.
Been binge watching all your videos from the #1 Trading advice up to this video for 4days straight now and it has been a great learning journey for as a beginner trader. Everything are gems from the videos to the podcasts. Thank you so much VP
Really needed to re-watch this video. I'm exhausted with back testing and keep on adjusting, re-installing, tweaking my algo. But this reminded me why I'm doing what i'm doing. thanks vp. you rock.
After watching this video again, need to go back to the 4 Hour Work Week after about 10 years for a refresher. Great book, the concepts have stayed with me ever since I decided to ditch my 9-5. Thanks VP, you're a God send to us all
One of the reasons I became a trader is that I reallized that I am not enough of a "people person" to ever compete with the Vanderchuks, Bet Davids, and Tom Biliyeus of the world. I have taken the JBM personality matirx test dozens of times and come up INTJ about half the time(just slightly) or ENTJ(just slightly) every time. I like trading because I don't have to sell myself so much to others as demonstrate my capabilities. This appeals to me. It occurred to me that trading additional lots has the same effect as opening a new store or producing a new product. I've been doing it for thirty years, and have found the information on your channel about prop trading to be inspirational.
Everyone i talk to about forex tell me it's just pure gambling and that it won't work, they know nothing. I'm determined to show them that is not and i will be in the 1% that make it work. I'm getting through your videos quickly, taking notes and searching for indicators. You're great VP :)
This is NOT an excuse or apology for people's laziness. I've taught European swordsmanship for 19 years now, and had to really struggle with how to attract and retain students. I saw what we usually call laziness, across thousands of people: meet new person, they find out what I do, they say "swordfighting is awesome! I wish I could do it!" Me: "I'm standing right here, ready to go. Are you?" Crickets. Never hear from 98% of them again. I boiled the complex, scary topic down into 4 basic skills to learn first. Made it easy with loaner gear and no-commitment trial classes. And observed the moment when That Look would wash across a new student's face, and eventually I realized I had lost them -- when it dawns on them that skillful things need effort. The tie-in to your video: Laziness IS fear unchecked and unrealized. I think 4 Hr Work Week discussed this. Evolutionarily, risking effort on new, unknown work had to be balanced against injury, lost calories, and death. When we aren't aware of it, it's easier to shut out those perceived risks, esp since (in the US and other developed countries) we tend to not be starving, homeless, or in imminent danger of harm/death. No worse than a 3 or 4, as you said -- even with homelessness (though I know from friends that everything becomes way harder). I had to jolly along and break it easily to new students, constructively exploit their familiarity and frequency bias, overcome their laziness/fear in a cheerful way in order to repeatedly take their money every month and give more value than most of them realized initially (but overwhelmingly have expressed their appreciation after they stick with in for a few months). But in forex, I've seen and been messaged by a lot of people who just don't get the commitment needed to pursue trading seriously. So I get that the tough love approach here will help make viewers self-select. The ones who are willing to hear "99% of people are lazy" yet persevere will have confronted that cognitive dissonance in self-examination. And I'm in a phase where, even knowing all that, I'm still waking up with it every morning, myself. Thanks for this video!
Hello I have finished seeing all your basic videos. I should admit, you have completely changed my perception regarding trading. I was doing some buying and selling with a minimum concept regarding technical indicators and time frame but you have capsized all of them.I cannot thank you enough. This is the best Forex online videos I have ever encountered. Kind Regards
Hi VP, I'm in the UK and just starting out in FX trade. I've been watching alot of videos on UA-cam and reading alot about FX trying to educate myself, and that's when I fell on one of your videos. I must admit I didn't like you at first. You came across as a typical arrogant over confident American but for some reason I stuck around because I felt you gave me better content than anything I had watched before. Then on this video you have blown me away that finally I've decided to subscribe to your channel. Thanks and keep up the good work. I appreciate your efforts. God bless you.
Hi VP, Thanks for the opportunity to refocus and turn my trading around, I have worked out 3 Parts of my Algorithm (1, 2, and 3) and started my journal. In 4 days of Trading (20K Demo) I have made 2% just by taking 50 Pips off the table from four trades. The second part of each trade is continuing to grow. It was easy for me to follow the other courses but also easy not follow the rules 100% hence blown accounts and frustration. Cheers
HEY VP...... RICH DAD POOR DAD WAS ALSO THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED ME TO TURN EVERYTHING AROUND ABOUT MY FINANCIAL SITUATION... INCREDIBLE BOOK INDEED.... AND NOW YOU ARE PLAYING A BIG PART IN THAT TOO... GOD BLESS YOU BRO.. HAPPY NEW YEARS !!!
I started trying to learn forex in december 2018, i learnt the usual trendlines, S&R and the normal stuff that comes with it, i was getting annoyed trading on my phone at work and silly trades at home thinking i was working out the market structure on my laptop and wondering why i wasnt making tonnes of money in a month like these people claim you could do. When i finally realised like a lot of people this dosent happen overnight (i admit the naivety of me was off the chart here) in the last couple of weeks ive really sat down every night 5-7 hours reading, watching everything on forex and i will get there like you. Its exciting to get home and learn every night for a future profession and your videos and podcasts are insane, 2 days ago i binged 30 odd episodes of your podcast and every night watch more and more of your videos, your mannerisms and the way you explain stuff is spot on and funny. im now relearning to trade how your teaching and i hope it comes into profit your a great guy to put this content up using your own time, Thank VP
Your story resonates on just about every level VP with just one small difference, not only the intelligent one at school, was also the butt of just about everyone for being the small skinny kid who was in a wheelchair. The bullies where remorseless. No Regrets here :) It taught to stand on my own feet come hell or high water. I have done everything I ever wanted to. OK so they all failed or was blind sided by unforeseeable events. So what...no regrets is all that matters. Watch a few movies from time to time and this is a quote from Batman Begins. Father to his son..."Bruce why do we fall down"...."its so we can learn to pick ourselves up again"......That is so true IF you have THE GUTS to get up and try again. Down at the moment yet again....You know what....I'm gonna get up and go for it again because I have to. Death is the alternative and that ain't gonna happen...... Something learned long ago and built this quote from it "Don't put limits on your imagination, there is no telling..........." (at this point you have to fill in the remainder cause I ain't gonna do it for you, you have to do that part for yourself.) By the way went and watched a Garry Vee. The one which is a compilation and guess what??? About 2/3rds of the way through he's saying and predicting the same as me. Guessing its also what you alluded to in one of your other video's ;) Learned to walk and run again so no longer in a wheelchair :) Edit: Forgot to say Fear...yes loads of it buckets full, shed loads, ship loads even....running scared sometimes...hell its just another hurdle to get over. Now having done it so often its pffft so what...:D NO fear NO Regrets
Look, to be honest.. you are just great... all you have been saying in every video of yours is just 1000% correct. Very helpful... and importantly No nonsence point blank period...Am greatful for all your inputs and your voice is just supper excellent. Thank you...
Hi VP really liked this video actually hit a chord with me. Ive always known I was destined for more but lacked initiative. Over the last year I have really looked at my life and others around me, I work hard, I pay my bills I survive. Is that really all I want from life? Hell no! Thats not living I want more for myself and my family and you have inspired me. Im going straight to amazon to order all three books you have mentioned in the last couple of vids. I have Watched 75% of your videos and highly recommend them to everyone who wants this better life. Thank you!!
I read rich dad poor dad six years ago, that was an a ha moment in my life, now I'll search for the other two recommendations you've given here, great as always, buddy! Thanks
Currently I’m binging all your videos and I just added more money into my account because I bounced my first account. But I just want to say thank you in advance for helping me make money on Forex.
Big Banks is a great video. Ive listened to this a lot. This is your best my man. Thank you for all you do. You keep it so real. And honest. And everyone should hear this day one. Cheers sir. Cant wait to meet you.
This channel and this guy it will change my future. We arenso lucky to have you. Or info is too valuable and too expensive. People should take your teachings in the heart. V smart......
VP, I have watched several of your videos, many several times. THIS fucking video is the best one yet, I was the smart kid too and relate to the biggest fear of not attempting things in life. Your words about the big corps structured to keep us down has lit a fire in this rebellious heart to not let them hold me back. Thank you
Accidentally blew my savings in forex because I never set my stop loss and ended up having a panic attack. I'm glad I found this channel I'm really learning what I should've learned before I ever started.
I've watched about 5-10 of your videos over the past couple of weeks (and the last day or two I'm watching them all from the start) can I just say little things like the intro to this video keep me smiling (and laughing) and coming back for more... along with the great advice of course :) thanks for doing it.
I read many books but Rich dad poor dad was one of the book what i could not put down till finished with it.It was the biggest slap in my face that OMG i've got a poor dad mentality
Nah VP, I have went through a great deal. I still continue to move towards being better in this life. I will risk it ALL to be better and have a better life. When Im a bit scared to do something, THAT makes me do it even more. I had to change 99% of the people I knew the people I know currently. ITS ON!!! Thanks VP!
Man I just came back to this video for a review. Really resonated with me even though I’ve been here for months now. This is an epic video VP! Traders, pay attention!!!
Man your story about being the smart kid and your fear of regrets is exactly how i feel. Im 36 and cant continue working for someone else and putting my dreams to the back
I did exactly the opposite. I rushed into business at 34 without planning. I went in with 100% passion and 0% business knowledge. Made huge mistakes, plunged into the pits, dragged my family down with me. 11 years on, I'm now starting to climb my way up. So it's perfectly fine to take your time to learn. Don't rush into things. Learn from mentors like VP before you commit.
Courage..yea..thats the most important trait to be a winner..or champ..everything else is useless without it...thanx for this brother..ure the best..cheers🍻🍻
VP you are a generous man, a marvellous person for doing this and an excellent quality teacher. I congratulate you on putting together your channel and blog, and I will forever be grateful for encountering your videos. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Keep it going
BTW that one book made me to read more books not just about money side but Psychology and many more topics, in our family, it's all about JOB and School Education ....
same here here VP, felt exactly the same way you did, only smart kid around, my brain always wants more..thank for all your time in these podcasts and vids you make, almost complete with my algo
You are correct about not wanting to grow old and asking yourself what if or regretting not going after you want. My father was a professional fighter for 25 years and after that he retired working at a copper mine eventually he developed dementia and he couldn't do anything for his self, he would talk about everything in the past basically his regrets and he couldn't do anything about it anymore because it was too late. So I try to practice remembering that one day I will grow old and die and I try to visualize myself on my death bed giving my current self advice.
Hey VP I hope you are good and safe! As I'm reading Napoleon Hill Law of success i am on the chapter of initiative and it goes like that: It is that exceedingly rare quality that promps-nay, impels a person to do that which ought to be done without being told to do it. But next to it is doing the right thing when you are told once. Next is doing the right thing when necessity kick them from behind and this get indifference instead of honors and a pittance for pay. Thanks VP
VP, hello. I just found your podcast yesterday while I was working "play music from my android phone". It's curious someone told me on Monday that I will find a great opportunity this past Wednesday "truly I don't believe in such things", but for any reason I found your podcast and in 4 hours last night I heard about 9 audios. And believe me, you inspire me, I'm looking, pursuing that kind of life, just work 4 hours, be at home with my wife and 2 daughters, I'm a family man, immigrant in USA living in Houston. I learned FX by my self watching videos and using FXAcademy and I believe that I knew how to do it till I burn my account. I started with $500 and toke profits $6000 and lose other $4000. So my emotions about FX went down until I heard you. I want to thank you for share your knowledge and be a guide for those include my self who are looking for the right guidance. You will hear more about me. #NEVERSETTLE
VP thank you for using ur gift on inspiring people.and teaching people.not only forex but also values in life. God will lend you more strength so you can inspire others more.
Appreciate this video. I was introduced to forex trading through IMarketsLive and I think I can change the face of the organization through initiative. I started off with real money and realized I lost 600 dollars in my first month of trading. I never realized how important the fact that I didn’t cry but felt more hopeful instead. I just started watching your videos yesterday and honestly by the time I’m done I think I’m going to have a notebook filled
I am the second youngest out of five boys and was the only one to make it out of Guam, graduate from high school, join the military and now college. I was considered the smart one but I always had the worst grades. I cant wait to get things going properly here in forex.
No Nonsense Forex you might be right lol. Just fyi Vegas is second home. I was stationed there for four years with the United States Army. Lived on the summerlin side. I visit every couple months lol.
Dang VP I thank you for these type of videos! Although I was raised with Rich Dad mentality I just never took initiative and that example of getting old and never realizing your potential just shook me and just made my a$$ get up and do stuff now. Thanks and keep this going my success to you!
Hey VP. Just found your channel today. Been binge watching your videos. Very relatable to what I have gone through, with the stuff you say about working and fearing failing and not having anything, no kids, college, being poor, etc. I grew up similarly. Working physical jobs, and still fairly young, but my back went out, and having no college, it really put me in a rough situation where I had to force myself to find a way to make money with my computer. Thats kinda what got me into FX, though I always had a desire to learn about the markets. And man, after spending years eating and breathing FX, trying to find any way to make it, it is refreshing to hear your perspective, from someone who is succeeding (it's so rare!). Hope I make it one day, as some days I feel like giving up. But I know I can't give up, as I have no where else to go but keep pushing in this direction. Failure can't be an option. Thanks for sharing your perspective, buddy.
Hey just completed the forex money management playlist and applying pressure.... off topic but your intro and presentation to your videos kick ass. It reminds me of law and order intro lol anyway thanks again for everything you do and i will keep you posted on my progress VP
I learned to trade Forex while i was employed everyday i practiced not even a single day did i ever miss a trade. I took my pension money and start killing the market. it took me 10 years of practice. Thank you for the advice Mr No Nonsense Forex
Keep those book recommendations coming VP! I would rather know which books you read than which confirmation indicators you use, and I reeeeeally want to know which confirmation indicators you use!
The way he summed up his fears and always being identified as the smart kid is my entire life story. I went to college with a 3.0 continued playing soccer and softball, and joined SGA and the lunch committee. Sadly all came down to me tryna please others, wasn't feeling it, dropped out two years later. I can tell you now that college was much harder, boring, and expensive. and lets not forget to mention it doesn't even guarantee a lick of success more like a guarantee debt. so VP for the win. saving lives and negative bank accounts haha. This is without a doubt my Ticket outtttttt
Another great video VP. Don't know how I missed this in the series before now. I Follow Gary V on Linkedin. A lot of truth about all of our misconceptions that become the false reasons we give as excuses for not doing something or the thing we most want to do.
Conclusion: I will not leave your channel! Your videos inspired me a lot. I want to become a Forex Killer Trader as what you've said. Please continue sir VP! oh yeah! (I will always Go & Get it!:-)
Still struggling finding volume indicator in order not to stuck in stagnant market, working on my demo, withdraw all my deposit to start all over again, starting my journal, still working on Algorithm that'd work perfectly, I will do whatever it takes to make it work. Anyways, I found your "position size" indicator that really helps me to calculate faster, thanks VP! -Regards from Bali
I have seen a few of your video, i am starting stock market (no option) in america (Canada, no forex), looking at a lot of videos. Love the pace you take, the language you talk. Did not go through a lot of your videos, but feel sorry that you did not do a series on stock market, but lots of what you say may apply for me i think. If you think there is a site or video i should be seeing ill take your advice, if not thanks for your great work Thank you Sylvain
For those who struggle or have no motivation. Don't worry. Motivation is fickle. It comes and goes. It is unreliable and when u count on it to complete your goals, it will likely fall short. Don't expect to be motivated everyday and get things happen. Don't count on motivation. Count on DISCIPLINE. - Jocko Willink
It makes me so happy to watch REAL PEOPLE! Gary Vee, yourself and Valuetainment are mainly who i watch on here. For me, i would rather have found these video’s than win the lottery! 100%!!
Definitely binge watched the whole series this weekend, super geeked about testing indicators . Next step, DELETE THE FREAKIN OANDA PHONE AP SO I QUIT FEEDING THAT EMOTIONAL BEAST.
Today, with the good marketing going on, banking in some profits, i became lazy.... Went to look for your motivational video like this one, and loved it!! heheheheh thank you
I went to school with Robert Kiyosaki. He lives in Phoenix, Arizona, a few miles from me. He is a great guy. I have read the books.
I am 73 years old and want more.
Hi, am Kenyan. Had an opportunity to visit your beautiful city to attend a conference at Camel Back
Funny
Wow bless you
I went to a Robert Kiyosaki course on how real estate, I was scammed :(
My first book was also Rich dad,poor dad. I read it at the age of 20. That book woke up interest for reading in my life. Now I'm 23, watching all your videos and living in a hope that I will become a successfull trader. Thanks for everything VP.
Are you profitable now?
You know VP is a real G when the Amazon links are not affiliate links, He's not here to make a quick buck. I love you!
Rich Dad Poor Dad was my first non fiction and i read it all in one sitting. Looked at life completely different after that.
Hi VP, I hope everything is going well with you and I’d like to find you in the best situation, healthwise, familywise, moneywise, spiritually wise and so on, name it. You are an awesome, but I mean it, an awesome person, and it’s so tough to meet one like you these days. My name is Roumen and I am 59 years old, living for the last 30 years in Calgary, Canada. VP, you are giving so much to the community, and for FREE, that I feel obligated to write this comment, showing my respect and appreciation to the monster work which you are doing for all of us. I watched all of your great and precious, and 100% meaningful videos, and whatever topic you catch, you man, just hit the ball in the center. You are one great mentor, and very good in translating the forex language to the people, again, all my respect for doing all this. I started with the markets in the early nineties, the old traditional stuff, stocks, bonds, options. Never been a professional, but I’ve always been looking for a more efficient way to make money.

Otherwise, years ago, I quit bulshitting with TF’s smaller than the Daily, rarely I go down to four hours for a fine tunning.
Anyway, thank you so much for the incredible sessions, VP, it is a great motivation for me to go back on the field again😊
Thanks and respect!

I thought that technical analysis was everything but when I got my trading psychology right and got out of my own way that’s when it all clicked. People honestly listen to all these psychology videos over and over again because they make the difference, don’t make the mistakes I made at the start by almost skipping them or not paying attention because they are what brings home the bacon.
PS VP. bought your book today can’t wait to read the shit out of it lol
I started to apply your simple but effective strategies and manage to control my trade such as equity mgt.,eliminate sucking indicators and use only those 3 indicators below and 1 moving average on chart. And now I have no losses with daily , weekly and 1 minute time frames. Fantastic!!!..Once I materialize my aim to take more than 100 pips per trade then I will increase my equity. For more than 4 months in online tutorials from different FX gurus but still not effective... At last I found your tutorials that truly changed my trading perceptions that leads me to answer those confusions ...but before your tips be comprehend it should be accompanied with constant reading. understanding and application . its tedious but once we get it its a very huge accomplishment... Once again thank you very much for sharing your talent in trading .... Kudos!!!
I used to be lazy, I would spend my time at home playing 8ball pool on my phone, I'd spend my time at college playing 8ball pool. I got really good, it felt amazing so I never stopped playing, I had never felt that about something before, I'd never put any effort into anything, thought life would come to me but one day life kicked me in the face and I realised that if I spend all my time playing pool and I become an expert at it, can make the cue ball land anywhere I need it to be for the next shot at least 85% of the time. Why can't I apply my time to something else I'm interested in? Like trading and here I am, spending most of my time learning to trade, and trying to gain as many perspectives as possible from real profitable traders.
Dude me and u have the same story...rank 200...now its stock trade all day everyday
I do both. Trading and 8 ball pool. But now I don't play every day. Sometimes not even once a week.
5yrs from now. I am sure I will thank my self for taking the initiative this year.
I am not a trader. But your channel is saving the life of someone I love. Thank you for giving him direction in a difficult time.
How it went:)
VP, i want to thank you for taking the time to give us such valuable information. I am forever grateful for what you're doing and i hope to shake your hand one day!
Hope I meet you one day since las vegas is my home town.
VP you are not just learning people to do proper FOREX, you touch souls! Thank you for taking the initiative to help others
Hey VP , I am in South Africa , i am really motivated by your videos , they are mind blowing.
I used to skateboard as a teenager and I have found Forex trading to be similar as far as the persistence needed . There were mostly falls and injuries before I could start successfully landing tricks. I'm not profitable yet, but I feel like I've completed my journey for who to listen to for guidance. My favorite takeaway so far is that you tell people that it's going to take their own massive investment of time to figure it out. That's how I learned to skateboard and I got pretty damn good at it, but it's literally insane how many attempts it took to become successful. I had the thought yesterday that Forex was going to be the same way. Thank you so much for giving back with you r advice and production.
This is the most inspiring video for me at this point.
I've binged on all playlists but I've come back to this one
Just like you I too came from the sports betting world. It took me far too long to realise the the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze. I am fully dedicated to your videos and blogs and will follow the program no matter how long it takes. Your videos blogs and podcasts are my bible. Can’t thank you enough.
Just finished the money management playlist and now I'm going through psychology! Thanks for the epic videos and knowledge you're sharing!
Hello how are you now?
Been binge watching all your videos from the #1 Trading advice up to this video for 4days straight now and it has been a great learning journey for as a beginner trader. Everything are gems from the videos to the podcasts. Thank you so much VP
Really needed to re-watch this video. I'm exhausted with back testing and keep on adjusting, re-installing, tweaking my algo. But this reminded me why I'm doing what i'm doing. thanks vp. you rock.
After watching this video again, need to go back to the 4 Hour Work Week after about 10 years for a refresher. Great book, the concepts have stayed with me ever since I decided to ditch my 9-5. Thanks VP, you're a God send to us all
I still read it too.
One of the reasons I became a trader is that I reallized that I am not enough of a "people person" to ever compete with the Vanderchuks, Bet Davids, and Tom Biliyeus of the world. I have taken the JBM personality matirx test dozens of times and come up INTJ about half the time(just slightly) or ENTJ(just slightly) every time. I like trading because I don't have to sell myself so much to others as demonstrate my capabilities. This appeals to me. It occurred to me that trading additional lots has the same effect as opening a new store or producing a new product. I've been doing it for thirty years, and have found the information on your channel about prop trading to be inspirational.
Everyone i talk to about forex tell me it's just pure gambling and that it won't work, they know nothing. I'm determined to show them that is not and i will be in the 1% that make it work. I'm getting through your videos quickly, taking notes and searching for indicators. You're great VP :)
This is NOT an excuse or apology for people's laziness. I've taught European swordsmanship for 19 years now, and had to really struggle with how to attract and retain students. I saw what we usually call laziness, across thousands of people: meet new person, they find out what I do, they say "swordfighting is awesome! I wish I could do it!" Me: "I'm standing right here, ready to go. Are you?" Crickets. Never hear from 98% of them again.
I boiled the complex, scary topic down into 4 basic skills to learn first. Made it easy with loaner gear and no-commitment trial classes. And observed the moment when That Look would wash across a new student's face, and eventually I realized I had lost them -- when it dawns on them that skillful things need effort. The tie-in to your video:
Laziness IS fear unchecked and unrealized. I think 4 Hr Work Week discussed this. Evolutionarily, risking effort on new, unknown work had to be balanced against injury, lost calories, and death. When we aren't aware of it, it's easier to shut out those perceived risks, esp since (in the US and other developed countries) we tend to not be starving, homeless, or in imminent danger of harm/death. No worse than a 3 or 4, as you said -- even with homelessness (though I know from friends that everything becomes way harder).
I had to jolly along and break it easily to new students, constructively exploit their familiarity and frequency bias, overcome their laziness/fear in a cheerful way in order to repeatedly take their money every month and give more value than most of them realized initially (but overwhelmingly have expressed their appreciation after they stick with in for a few months). But in forex, I've seen and been messaged by a lot of people who just don't get the commitment needed to pursue trading seriously. So I get that the tough love approach here will help make viewers self-select. The ones who are willing to hear "99% of people are lazy" yet persevere will have confronted that cognitive dissonance in self-examination.
And I'm in a phase where, even knowing all that, I'm still waking up with it every morning, myself. Thanks for this video!
The content is worth its weight in gold. Thanks VP. 🙏🙏
Hello
I have finished seeing all your basic videos. I should admit, you have completely changed my perception regarding trading. I was doing some buying and selling with a minimum concept regarding technical indicators and time frame but you have capsized all of them.I cannot thank you enough. This is the best Forex online videos I have ever encountered. Kind Regards
Hi VP, I'm in the UK and just starting out in FX trade. I've been watching alot of videos on UA-cam and reading alot about FX trying to educate myself, and that's when I fell on one of your videos. I must admit I didn't like you at first. You came across as a typical arrogant over confident American but for some reason I stuck around because I felt you gave me better content than anything I had watched before. Then on this video you have blown me away that finally I've decided to subscribe to your channel. Thanks and keep up the good work. I appreciate your efforts. God bless you.
Great content! Rich Dad/Poor dad was also the book that changed my mentality, years ago.
Hi VP, Thanks for the opportunity to refocus and turn my trading around, I have worked out 3 Parts of my Algorithm (1, 2, and 3) and started my journal. In 4 days of Trading (20K Demo) I have made 2% just by taking 50 Pips off the table from four trades. The second part of each trade is continuing to grow. It was easy for me to follow the other courses but also easy not follow the rules 100% hence blown accounts and frustration.
Cheers
HEY VP...... RICH DAD POOR DAD WAS ALSO THE BOOK THAT INSPIRED ME TO TURN EVERYTHING AROUND ABOUT MY FINANCIAL SITUATION... INCREDIBLE BOOK INDEED.... AND NOW YOU ARE PLAYING A BIG PART IN THAT TOO... GOD BLESS YOU BRO.. HAPPY NEW YEARS !!!
I started trying to learn forex in december 2018, i learnt the usual trendlines, S&R and the normal stuff that comes with it, i was getting annoyed trading on my phone at work and silly trades at home thinking i was working out the market structure on my laptop and wondering why i wasnt making tonnes of money in a month like these people claim you could do. When i finally realised like a lot of people this dosent happen overnight (i admit the naivety of me was off the chart here) in the last couple of weeks ive really sat down every night 5-7 hours reading, watching everything on forex and i will get there like you. Its exciting to get home and learn every night for a future profession and your videos and podcasts are insane, 2 days ago i binged 30 odd episodes of your podcast and every night watch more and more of your videos, your mannerisms and the way you explain stuff is spot on and funny. im now relearning to trade how your teaching and i hope it comes into profit your a great guy to put this content up using your own time, Thank VP
Thank you Vp. I always go back to these videos, just what I needed!
Your story resonates on just about every level VP with just one small difference, not only the intelligent one at school, was also the butt of just about everyone for being the small skinny kid who was in a wheelchair. The bullies where remorseless. No Regrets here :) It taught to stand on my own feet come hell or high water. I have done everything I ever wanted to. OK so they all failed or was blind sided by unforeseeable events. So what...no regrets is all that matters. Watch a few movies from time to time and this is a quote from Batman Begins. Father to his son..."Bruce why do we fall down"...."its so we can learn to pick ourselves up again"......That is so true IF you have THE GUTS to get up and try again. Down at the moment yet again....You know what....I'm gonna get up and go for it again because I have to. Death is the alternative and that ain't gonna happen......
Something learned long ago and built this quote from it "Don't put limits on your imagination, there is no telling..........." (at this point you have to fill in the remainder cause I ain't gonna do it for you, you have to do that part for yourself.)
By the way went and watched a Garry Vee. The one which is a compilation and guess what??? About 2/3rds of the way through he's saying and predicting the same as me. Guessing its also what you alluded to in one of your other video's ;)
Learned to walk and run again so no longer in a wheelchair :)
Edit: Forgot to say Fear...yes loads of it buckets full, shed loads, ship loads even....running scared sometimes...hell its just another hurdle to get over. Now having done it so often its pffft so what...:D
NO fear NO Regrets
Look, to be honest.. you are just great... all you have been saying in every video of yours is just 1000% correct. Very helpful... and importantly No nonsence point blank period...Am greatful for all your inputs and your voice is just supper excellent. Thank you...
Hi VP really liked this video actually hit a chord with me. Ive always known I was destined for more but lacked initiative. Over the last year I have really looked at my life and others around me, I work hard, I pay my bills I survive. Is that really all I want from life? Hell no! Thats not living I want more for myself and my family and you have inspired me. Im going straight to amazon to order all three books you have mentioned in the last couple of vids. I have Watched 75% of your videos and highly recommend them to everyone who wants this better life. Thank you!!
I read rich dad poor dad six years ago, that was an a ha moment in my life, now I'll search for the other two recommendations you've given here, great as always, buddy! Thanks
Currently I’m binging all your videos and I just added more money into my account because I bounced my first account. But I just want to say thank you in advance for helping me make money on Forex.
Big Banks is a great video. Ive listened to this a lot. This is your best my man. Thank you for all you do. You keep it so real. And honest. And everyone should hear this day one. Cheers sir. Cant wait to meet you.
This channel and this guy it will change my future. We arenso lucky to have you. Or info is too valuable and too expensive. People should take your teachings in the heart.
V smart......
VP, I have watched several of your videos, many several times. THIS fucking video is the best one yet, I was the smart kid too and relate to the biggest fear of not attempting things in life. Your words about the big corps structured to keep us down has lit a fire in this rebellious heart to not let them hold me back. Thank you
Accidentally blew my savings in forex because I never set my stop loss and ended up having a panic attack. I'm glad I found this channel I'm really learning what I should've learned before I ever started.
I've watched about 5-10 of your videos over the past couple of weeks (and the last day or two I'm watching them all from the start) can I just say little things like the intro to this video keep me smiling (and laughing) and coming back for more... along with the great advice of course :) thanks for doing it.
i finished THE money managment playlist and now i'm starting to learn about psychology THANK VP
I read many books but Rich dad poor dad was one of the book what i could not put down till finished with it.It was the biggest slap in my face that OMG i've got a poor dad mentality
Nah VP, I have went through a great deal. I still continue to move towards being better in this life. I will risk it ALL to be better and have a better life. When Im a bit scared to do something, THAT makes me do it even more. I had to change 99% of the people I knew the people I know currently. ITS ON!!! Thanks VP!
I am definitely binge watching your videos as it is real and not full of bull like loads of stuff I have seen.
Man I just came back to this video for a review. Really resonated with me even though I’ve been here for months now.
This is an epic video VP! Traders, pay attention!!!
Amazing. i read that book (rich dad poor dad) about 1 week ago. and that book motivated me to Re-think things. and ended up here.
Rich dad poor dad is really a life changing book for many.
Man your story about being the smart kid and your fear of regrets is exactly how i feel. Im 36 and cant continue working for someone else and putting my dreams to the back
I did exactly the opposite. I rushed into business at 34 without planning. I went in with 100% passion and 0% business knowledge. Made huge mistakes, plunged into the pits, dragged my family down with me. 11 years on, I'm now starting to climb my way up. So it's perfectly fine to take your time to learn. Don't rush into things. Learn from mentors like VP before you commit.
Can't say enough thank you for putting together this awesome Psychology series.
Courage..yea..thats the most important trait to be a winner..or champ..everything else is useless without it...thanx for this brother..ure the best..cheers🍻🍻
Knew there was a reason I liked your style and mindset on things throughout your content...big Tim Ferriss follower as well.
VP you are a generous man, a marvellous person for doing this and an excellent quality teacher. I congratulate you on putting together your channel and blog, and I will forever be grateful for encountering your videos. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Keep it going
I Read Rich Dad and Poor Dad First too and then now Reading Think and Grow Rich
BTW that one book made me to read more books not just about money side but Psychology and many more topics, in our family, it's all about JOB and School Education ....
I have super case of ADHD but I want it so bad that I am hyper focused on this and I appreciate everything you do!
Me: Do I struggle with motivation
also me: testing out my confirmation trades while listening
It all come to rolling the dice but still appreciate your wisdom and the way you spread the good word.
same here here VP, felt exactly the same way you did, only smart kid around, my brain always wants more..thank for all your time in these podcasts and vids you make, almost complete with my algo
I have a filling I am going to watch all videos on this channel.
you were a smart kid growing up and youre still a smart guy till now VP
You are correct about not wanting to grow old and asking yourself what if or regretting not going after you want. My father was a professional fighter for 25 years and after that he retired working at a copper mine eventually he developed dementia and he couldn't do anything for his self, he would talk about everything in the past basically his regrets and he couldn't do anything about it anymore because it was too late. So I try to practice remembering that one day I will grow old and die and I try to visualize myself on my death bed giving my current self advice.
Hey VP I hope you are good and safe!
As I'm reading Napoleon Hill Law of success i am on the chapter of initiative and it goes like that:
It is that exceedingly rare quality that promps-nay, impels a person to do that which ought to be done without being told to do it.
But next to it is doing the right thing when you are told once.
Next is doing the right thing when necessity kick them from behind and this get indifference instead of honors and a pittance for pay.
Thanks VP
VP, hello. I just found your podcast yesterday while I was working "play music from my android phone". It's curious someone told me on Monday that I will find a great opportunity this past Wednesday "truly I don't believe in such things", but for any reason I found your podcast and in 4 hours last night I heard about 9 audios. And believe me, you inspire me, I'm looking, pursuing that kind of life, just work 4 hours, be at home with my wife and 2 daughters, I'm a family man, immigrant in USA living in Houston. I learned FX by my self watching videos and using FXAcademy and I believe that I knew how to do it till I burn my account. I started with $500 and toke profits $6000 and lose other $4000. So my emotions about FX went down until I heard you. I want to thank you for share your knowledge and be a guide for those include my self who are looking for the right guidance. You will hear more about me. #NEVERSETTLE
VP thank you for using ur gift on inspiring people.and teaching people.not only forex but also values in life. God will lend you more strength so you can inspire others more.
Appreciate this video. I was introduced to forex trading through IMarketsLive and I think I can change the face of the organization through initiative. I started off with real money and realized I lost 600 dollars in my first month of trading. I never realized how important the fact that I didn’t cry but felt more hopeful instead. I just started watching your videos yesterday and honestly by the time I’m done I think I’m going to have a notebook filled
I am the second youngest out of five boys and was the only one to make it out of Guam, graduate from high school, join the military and now college. I was considered the smart one but I always had the worst grades. I cant wait to get things going properly here in forex.
Same situation here with the smart kid who got shit grades. I have a feeling we're not in the minority here on that one.
No Nonsense Forex you might be right lol. Just fyi Vegas is second home. I was stationed there for four years with the United States Army. Lived on the summerlin side. I visit every couple months lol.
Rich day poor dad is a great book to read. A great reference for a video on Initiative.
Man, you are just the best and I really mean it. Glad I subscribed
From listening to Rich Dad Poor Dad audiobook to NNFX at the gym while doing cardio. Lets go get it!
I wish that I could this video more than a million times.thanks and best wishes from Iran
Dang VP I thank you for these type of videos! Although I was raised with Rich Dad mentality I just never took initiative and that example of getting old and never realizing your potential just shook me and just made my a$$ get up and do stuff now. Thanks and keep this going my success to you!
Hey VP. Just found your channel today. Been binge watching your videos. Very relatable to what I have gone through, with the stuff you say about working and fearing failing and not having anything, no kids, college, being poor, etc. I grew up similarly. Working physical jobs, and still fairly young, but my back went out, and having no college, it really put me in a rough situation where I had to force myself to find a way to make money with my computer. Thats kinda what got me into FX, though I always had a desire to learn about the markets. And man, after spending years eating and breathing FX, trying to find any way to make it, it is refreshing to hear your perspective, from someone who is succeeding (it's so rare!). Hope I make it one day, as some days I feel like giving up. But I know I can't give up, as I have no where else to go but keep pushing in this direction. Failure can't be an option. Thanks for sharing your perspective, buddy.
"I can't give up as I have nowhere else to go". Heavy.
Your vids are so so good man, Thankyou, Really!! Now Fully Enrolled to No Nonsense College!!! Lets Go!!
Hey just completed the forex money management playlist and applying pressure.... off topic but your intro and presentation to your videos kick ass. It reminds me of law and order intro lol anyway thanks again for everything you do and i will keep you posted on my progress VP
I learned to trade Forex while i was employed everyday i practiced not even a single day did i ever miss a trade. I took my pension money and start killing the market. it took me 10 years of practice. Thank you for the advice Mr No Nonsense Forex
What amazing content. Thanks for this VP. Simply superb.
Keep those book recommendations coming VP! I would rather know which books you read than which confirmation indicators you use, and I reeeeeally want to know which confirmation indicators you use!
The way he summed up his fears and always being identified as the smart kid is my entire life story. I went to college with a 3.0 continued playing soccer and softball, and joined SGA and the lunch committee. Sadly all came down to me tryna please others, wasn't feeling it, dropped out two years later. I can tell you now that college was much harder, boring, and expensive. and lets not forget to mention it doesn't even guarantee a lick of success more like a guarantee debt. so VP for the win. saving lives and negative bank accounts haha. This is without a doubt my Ticket outtttttt
Another great video VP. Don't know how I missed this in the series before now. I Follow Gary V on Linkedin. A lot of truth about all of our misconceptions that become the false reasons we give as excuses for not doing something or the thing we most want to do.
Conclusion: I will not leave your channel! Your videos inspired me a lot. I want to become a Forex Killer Trader as what you've said. Please continue sir VP! oh yeah! (I will always Go & Get it!:-)
Dude I don't care what anybody says this is the Navy Seals for the markets in general. And your the command master chief.
Yes I love you too and an non-gay way.
Respect for the videos watching them one by one. Mentality has to be positive to change the rules of life
I struggle with motivation , thank you for this vídeo .. helped a lot 🙂
Still struggling finding volume indicator in order not to stuck in stagnant market, working on my demo, withdraw all my deposit to start all over again, starting my journal, still working on Algorithm that'd work perfectly, I will do whatever it takes to make it work.
Anyways, I found your "position size" indicator that really helps me to calculate faster, thanks VP!
-Regards from Bali
Dayu Malya Savitri I use volatility ratio with a MA on it for a crossover indicator try it dude
same with me with the books too..we havea lot commons in mindset!!!!reallly nice !!!but my firdt book was think and grow rich!!!!
Woooooooooooooooooow........Gary Gaynerchuk is a Must Watch!!!!!!!!!
very true and straight up honest....very nicely done sir.
I relate to you 100%. Thanks.
Awesome video bro.. Keep the real juice flowing.. Salute
I have seen a few of your video, i am starting stock market (no option) in america (Canada, no forex), looking at a lot of videos. Love the pace you take, the language you talk. Did not go through a lot of your videos, but feel sorry that you did not do a series on stock market, but lots of what you say may apply for me i think. If you think there is a site or video i should be seeing ill take your advice, if not thanks for your great work
Thank you
Sylvain
For those who struggle or have no motivation. Don't worry. Motivation is fickle. It comes and goes. It is unreliable and when u count on it to complete your goals, it will likely fall short. Don't expect to be motivated everyday and get things happen. Don't count on motivation. Count on DISCIPLINE. - Jocko Willink
It makes me so happy to watch REAL PEOPLE! Gary Vee, yourself and Valuetainment are mainly who i watch on here. For me, i would rather have found these video’s than win the lottery! 100%!!
Thank u vp for u efforts to make us a betters traders, i know some day you will be rewarded for this. Im from venezuela !
This video of all the videos you are made, this one i will donwload and listen every time i have a doubt of my self.
Definitely binge watched the whole series this weekend, super geeked about testing indicators . Next step, DELETE THE FREAKIN OANDA PHONE AP SO I QUIT FEEDING THAT EMOTIONAL BEAST.
I’m goin thru my 3 went thru my 4 😤💪🏾 still pushing
Awesome video. Binge ongoing!
Today, with the good marketing going on, banking in some profits, i became lazy.... Went to look for your motivational video like this one, and loved it!! heheheheh thank you
13:00 nevermind, THIS is the most relatable No Nonsense Forex moment ever
