My lifestyle is totally different. I been trading since 1998 and currently have over 25 million in my trading account. I am single and I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and drive a 15 year old car. I never did the whole multiple screen setup. I just trade on a 200 dollar HP Laptop that is almost 10 years old now.
Thanks Mark
Good for you mark 👍🏼
Hey mark. What platform are you using to trade? I am looking for something legit.
everyone’s different man, when you’re used to a certain thing for so long and it’s working. why change it up
Mark our brain should more powerful than more than one screen if we dont control our emotion than everything useless
Handling business and showing his kids that giving your time for money for someone else makes no sense. A true father. This is a role model. Thanks mayne!
It took me 7 yrs to understand the market. If you want it bad enough it'll become reality sooner or later.
Where did you learn?
Thanks for that I needed that … everyday for the past year started to see profits and see the 1 and 0 in the matrix
Been trying for 35+ years.. at break even now on verge of profitabity!
Degreed Mechanical Engineer..
Raised 4 children to independent adults.. all were homeschooled..
2 boys, 1 Air Force 1 CompScience graduate from Bowdoin College and 2 daughters married to good Christian men ..finally 1 grandson!
Worked nights but home during day.. crazy lifestyle.. successful teacher and finally understand my FAITH..
WOULD LOVE to finish off this life as a successful Trader but I m still learning and growing on this journey..it was all worth the risk!! Still in love with my wife and best friend.. cannot beat that after 35 yrs!!
They only trade for minutes whit large positions. İt's all bullshido. 5-10 point and over. Be a invester and sleep well.
are you in love with your best friend? :3
I've just started learning about trading. I'm an electrical engineer. How has trading worked out for you?
35 is too long man it takes3-5 years if you super serious
Spent 4 years in the marines with a passion for aviation. Missed my boat to spartan college to become a pilot and now markets are my passion. I love learning and growing. Thanks for the help jared. Still not profitable but im getting better and not getting hit so hard in recent months. Ill be a great trader or die trying.
you will get it
@@petaryordanov1747 thank you
Same here
Same here currently in school to be a pilot but I’m still learning trading.
Semper Fi brother. Keep at it. Discipline Marine
this is the life. providing for your family and getting to spend time with them everyday. inspired.
Yea Navy federal gave me a really high limit. I applied and was denied at first so I got a VermontCorpLTD , and I was approved for a capital one. The limit was so small lol but I took it and worked on it. Because if that it helped my credit and I believe that’s what made me finally get approved for navy fed with such a high limit. they're still working on increasing the capital one since it was so low. All in all I’m satisfied.
I've just started trading. Seen on social media so many guys saying they are the gurus and they are killing the market and easy to make money trading. They are not telling the truth. Thank you so much for sharing and giving the real advice. Long live brother.
Wow cheers to your success... 3years plus in the market still not yet profitable... It's a high rewarding profession once you master it... Every hard work every sleepless night every stress filled day is worthy ... One day I know I'm gonna make it... Thanks for the motivation and being a living proof...
Wow 3 years. Still in it? What kind of trade you do?
@@saysomalymok I trade only the opening, 1 minute timeframe.. Two years looking for holy grail strategy.. but came to conclusion that mastering market psychology and risk management is the holy grail. Finally trading profitable but with small share size.. it's a life long profession so no hurry.
Do you trade options? Or just stocks?
Do you trade penny stocks only?
@@saysomalymok only stocks for now... Tell me something about your trading journey..
I respect you so much. You’re the kind of teacher I enjoy. Little brash, realistic and this just was the icing on the cake. Thanks for everything you do.
You hit it on the head. It took my 5 years to become profitable. Yes people 5 years. Blew up multiple accounts. Its part of the learning process though. My block ultimately was my psychology, I read Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas and it changed my trading and more importantly my life. No one want to work on themselves, that's why we fail. If you want to be successful in trading turn off your monitor, close your trading accounts. Go get a good therapist, read books on trading psychology, then start trading. I wish I had known that in the beginning. Good look out there fellow traders, stay with it!
you've done well for yourself and your family brother ...you deserve it. you openly share with the retail trading community and you are honest about it ...gratitude.
Curious to know the amount of income you make On your classes versus actually trading.
Now this is the video I needed. I’m a dad too and just needed some motivation to get back in to trading again, most videos I see are just young traders spending money on alcohol, women, cars and house but you are a real role model being able to work and spend time with family and have the freedom and luxury at the same time. I hope to get to where you are soon but right now I’m still struggling. Thanks again man for that message in the end. 💯
ELE É VENDEDOR DE CURSO, APENAS ISSO.
Awesome video, especially because behind the material stuff we see a family guy, proud of his kids and wife - love it
loved the fact u kept it simple with no fluff. just a normal day as family man
Can't stop watching this video. I watch almost every single day, it gives me hope and makes me keep moving.
I've been watching for years. Currently working my way out of consumer debt. Once I'm debt free, you'll see me in the chat room. I'm so hype.... just gotta grind first.
19:50 Yep, I’m over one year in and im breaking even, and I’m so happy with the results because every day that does buy i realize I learn something new that is pushing my gap towards success closer and closer. And yes, being able to spend my time with my family is the very top reason i even got into this.
Currently working in a Restaurant 8 + hours a day 6 days a week, getting very overworked and underpaid so on Sundays that’s the day off, ain’t got no money to go chill somewhere nice because of the tight budget like always. So yes, definitely worth all the hustle to learn trading and live life on my onwn terms
I'm with you man. We close!
“No setup, no trade.” Love it
Honestly man, sometimes I see your approach teaching and it hasn't been my favorite side of you but seeing you as a regular guy gives me much respect for you. Your a good guy man . I'm a family man too. It's a lot of strength to provide an upscale life to your family. You have your priorities exactly where they should be. Semper Fi . I will be watching you wayyyy more now. ✌👊🙏
A regular guy? Had the video lasted a few seconds more, I bet you'd have seen him swimming in a pool of golden coins like Uncle Scrooge. C'mon man.
This was dope, thanks for sharing some of your life with us! More would be cool, especially a video of you cooking up some of those Wagyu steaks!! Lecture videos are f-in priceless, man, thank you so much for your time on those!
I wished thia video is over 1 hour long, I've never wanted to end 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️, so motivated thanks man 🙏💙
This is my dream life in 5 years…..thank you for the insight…..beautiful family. Do you exercise ?
interesting and inspiring, im super happy to hear you say that if youre even your first year of trading that you had a good year, cause im approaching 10 months and im about 6% up...looking at that flat line got me discouraged more than once, but hearing that its okay to be even is just making me hungrier for a green year next year. lets go yall, we got this.
BEST VIDEO you ever made... technical analysis against the backdrop of motion picture effects
Thanks for the peek. I primarily trade futures but I like your no nonsense honest
approach
Out of this whole video the reality check at the end was the best part
I love the perspective that you put on trading, it isn't easy it takes time and hard work. I loved the sports analogy we only see what they do in the game but the preparation is what gives you the success. Great video man.
You're the most honest man I ever seen in my life.. i appreciate that.
Completely agree. My vision is just to be able to enjoy my time. At the moment, by the time my day is finished I am too tired to do anything during the week....and the cars, house is a bonus.
Thats a good philosophy my friend. Be Happy now and Not only Working For the Future. 🙏

Congratulations, Sir! May God continue to give you and your family all the blessings… 🍾🍀🌟
Hey guys Also sometimes I share this, the Bible says that GOD loves us so much that he sent his son JESUS CHRIST to this earth and HE lived a perfect sinless life.And JESUS went to a cross and gave HIS life for us.And rose again in 3 days and who ever will receive JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND ASK HIM TO COME INTO THEIR HEART AND FORGIVE THEIR SINS,HE WILL TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN
I've been around to all the trading channels. Your's is top notch and honest.
Honestly speaking jared this video just inspired me and made me look up to you so much more than you know. I already admire you as it is because you are a very respectable person and you honestly saved my trading career no lie. I say this because I was in one of those chat room where they all gambled risked way to much, took to many trades in a day, never ever respected there stop loss. you honestly taught me what it means to be a trader everything I know about properly trading is because of you and I can not thank you enough because of that. I wish long lasting success and happiness. :)
Random recommendation on a Saturday. I F*cking love this video. Nothing but truth. Trading is a hard way to make an easy living. Love that!
We are proud of you. Thanks for giving us a peek into your world. It’s nice motivation. Also we really appreciate you being realistic by saying this is not easy and success does not happen overnight. The money is made behind the scene when the market is closed, by constant research and preparation just like a pro athlete with persistence over time can possibly lead to success. Keep the videos coming. Thanks again 😎

I love his no bs approach and honesty.
Since the GFC in 2008 and the insane money printing increased, nothing has made sense. Its for mugs. Anyone who works, pays taxes and saves/invests is mad.
but this is not how he earned that house tho ;) 2 years prior to this video he said day trading makes 5% of his income. i guess he does mostly money in real estate.
@@samsonite3716 So?
Man you have happy, and beautiful family, your chill. JUST me WATCHING, gave me a uplifting feeling, that life can be grand 😊. Thanks for sharing.
Fun video, as an Aussie I enjoyed seeing the different landscape there in Arizona.
You're right Jared about priorities, being in charge of your own time is worth more than a fancy house or car.
On a side note - watch your sugar intake with a can of Iced Tea every day - that stuff's not good for you!
Really the most honest video, and this is the first time i watching you... Thank you so much. I am going to download this video and use it for Motivation purposes... Thanks again and happy new year to you and your family!
Real meaning in life is spending time for what you like 👌
The Thomas Sowell book on the desk got you a new subscriber!
Wow what a life glad am watching these for free these is an unbelievable knowledge you just passed, I keep trying to turn forex into a solid means of income like you have done and I know someday I would achieve that goal.
This an awesome video, i keep an open mind to whatever I can learn from really successful traders and try to improve my trades.
I day trade a lot and sometimes it’s hard to make steady income.
I certainly have a lot of improving to do if I want to become profitable trading forex lol, it’s my third time watching a trading related video.
@@aaronfirtz2963 I would be happy if I can get assisted just like you?
Should be renamed life of a millionaire lol
That video was great. I have never made any comment on anything I have seen, heard or thought on a public forum. I also have NEVER been envious of another person. Yet, as a very good judge of character and a REAL preacher of the Word of God, you as a person impressed me. The book "Black Redneck and White Liberals" on your desk tells a lot about your character. Congrats to you. I hope your next challenge is to know the living God. Stay blessed. There is a LIFE after this one.
Congrats Jared. Your hard work and dedication has paid off. Appreciate your brutal honesty and no bs approach. Keep up the good work. Lost my first year. Number 2 has begun. More prep less impulse. We'll see how it goes. Thank you.

I appreciate your honesty 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for the video. I have been working hard for almost 2 years now learning how to trade... I have definitely paid my 'trader's tuition' but I finally have a strategy that has given me consistent profitability. Your video is very inspirational and I look forward to hopefully being able to enjoy the same freedom that you have
What's your strategy if you don't mind me asking?
You have a lovely family. It must feel awesome to be able to spend so much time with them. What a gift having this skillset is. Cheers!
wow I'm visualizing into this 🥰🥰
love it nice to see a change up. But dont get wrong i would of loved to see another chart video lol
You're so correct, I've spent about 6000 hours screen time and finally have found my method. Expect 10,000 hours screen time before you're good at it, but then you're still learning. It is not easy and its hard work.
Yes it is!
Yes it is!
Love this type of video, I even subscribed even though I’m a US30 scalper. God bless you bro
This was a dope video. Just a man living out his vision. We’d love to se more “day in the life” vids
Those kids are so beautiful, best part of the video. Be sure to hug them !
Jared, I thoroughly enjoyed that. You have a beautiful home and family. Congrats on your success which continues to inspire me. One beef, quit turning around to look at the kids in the back seat of the car while you're driving. I know someone and their child who were killed doing that and crashed. Looking forward to more videos like this. :)
Water and Arizona ice tea , made me subscribe. That just resonated with me
i love your videos man! however, i could be wrong, but i believe CURRENTLY most of your income comes from from Live Trader courses/chat rooms + real estate + other alternative investments haha obviously i could be wrong but maybe day trading is 15-25% of your income. UA-cam income is probably relatively small compared to your main income streams too.
Alternate title of this video should be "My life as an instructor, investor and day trader".
Finally someone gets it.

Hey how are you? Could you please tell me what keyboard that is that you are using? Its awesome!! Please tell me
The harder you work the luckier you get, well done Jared awesome video
I want to say Thank you to you as the first person for this beautiful market.
How can I reach u on trading signals for the day
All the possibilities!! Put in the time n wirk with effort.. it’s amazing what u can accomplish!
❣️ from India. I work in an MNC and do day/positional trading. Still running losses but have been a successful long term investor. Hope to become a profitable trader. Om Namah Shivaya 🙏
@@jessicawiley3136 Well, I don't think so.
Nice....now show me a "not so good" day....on the market. Keep up the good stuff with the family!
Thanks, you too!
You got a beautiful family and nice house..
Just curious how long it took you to convince your elder daughter to be on camera.. 😀
Love the transparency! Trading definitely isnt easy. I had to put in 2 years of hard work and its barely starting to pay off. It was so worth it.
Awesome congratulations first year I made money woping 83 dollars 💸 but first year I made money still down from when I started 3 years ago been extremely hard emotions wanting to make money an when u have 9 to 5 that just makes it even harder but not gonna give up really inspiring. I like scalping also just been to jittery lately but anyway.
You probably did a video on it but my platform don't have dollar gainers and so % gainers I have been using along with gap up list I like to scalp also now when do you stop looking for ideas 💡. That seems to be my problem lately to many ideas and then ding ding bell rings and kinda get overwhelmed any advise appreciated thanks
Glad to see my kids aren't the only ones that question "where's mom?!" when I'm there for pickups instead of her!
I'm a trader. I never take a trade without a pattern too. This dude is legit.
Hi dear, am actually looking into trading but not sure of how to go about it
Thanks for sharing your trade secrets , not many of my good friends even do that.
Where is the snow?
spent 2 decades in mechanical construction job and since past 3 years came for trading and making money without proper strategies i lost my all savings nearly 6 million INR
know I cant feed my children and my monthly bills too worst position
but you living like a legend good
Wishing you, your family and your organization an amazing new year! Thanks for the video Jared! Very inspiring!
that was awesome! cute kids and love the bit about the hair and scalping lol
Love it Jared - any chance you could make a video of your progress from start to where you are now as a trader? Like a year by year approach of how long it took you to become a successful trader/how long it took you to learn real estate? Ive seen nearly all of your videos but I don't know the full story of how long it took you to truly succeed.
One of the best video about day trader life , nice Camera work nice editing
Thank you for showing your family and your life experience to us...some of us have never experienced being rich but really means a lot for u to express it to us in a way of letting us know we will get there no matter what as long we work harder......
who are these 2 runaways?
Really nice to see your lifestyle too. Thanks!
I thoroughly enjoyed the personal deep dive into what it's like to be a day trader. I myself have been considering day trading for a while but have always decided against it because of the risk. Each time I look at one of your videos I see that preparation is key. Thanks for giving us this insider look into day trading and the life thereafter.
Get trading view and just practice talking setups for a year before you use real money. Find the patterns you like.
@@PeacockJason yeah I can't even see using that yet Jason. I'm going to stay locked in here until I feel I'm ready and I can handle the risk involved.
@@GeeWhyNOT There is zero risk using trading view. Even base level trading view is free.
@@PeacockJasonoh I understand now Jason. I will have to take a look into. Have you been trading a long time ???
@@GeeWhyNOT year and a half
Love the keyboard 😍
Watching your videos has made me admit to myself how undisciplined I have been my whole life. You are truly an inspiration & in more ways than one!
Thank you for taking the time and sharing these videos. You are awesome at teaching and I hope everyone realizes how lucky they are to have your guidance.
Thank you 🙏🏼
What's the chair you got in your office? I like it.
Great to see how your days are and helping others at the same time Thank you !!
you are the man! UA-cam keeps you out of my feed for some reason but i talked to a friend and he recommended you for your content!
@@jessicawiley3136not that I know of unless you are related to an Alex Wiley in MA.
Awesome video - I particularly appreciate how you keep it real and emphasis all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes to be a successful trader!
FAKE TRADER
I lack money to invest,how should I start,need your help
Thank you for the video and lovely family ❤
And one more thing Jared I genuinely loved watching this video you should definitely make more of these videos!!
To start trading from scratch what would a sufficient amount be to start with?
Thank you so much for this inside look. It's an inspiration to us that are wanting to have freedom in building a business as a day trader. Your no BS approach is the reason why I follow you. I would love to see more vids like this. Thanks again for your passion to share this with us.
awesome Jarrod...THats what we want to see....brisbane australia
Amazing man. Great example of what hard working and dedication can get you! Very inspiring, great job! I'm about 2 years into trading and i can tell it's haaaard to be consistent and not emotionally biased.
Take 6-10 years to master
Cheers. Thanks again ..👍!.
Hey, thanks for this, it's very inspirational, and I'm glad for your success. Keep it up!!

Your home is gorgeous and the decor is tasteful !
Awesome video Jared! Thanks for showing us an inside look into the lifestyle! You’re totally right though the flexibility of being with the ones you love is truly what matters. That’s my why as to why i’m in the trading game. 1 year in many more years to go! I’m enjoying the process ✊🏽💯
Very nice, thank you for taking the time show us how is possible, to put hard work and dedication to trading pay off. To live a very nice lifestyle with more important freedom and spent time family. Didn’t work for me when I have my family but I won’t give up. Just need to learn it the right way to master the skill of trading like you already have accomplished. Thanks again🙏
Love the content. Should do more of these types of videos. Definitely motivating!
Great video. It make me to put more efort and be pacient. Nice kids Jared and family is most important. 👍
what? i thought you were working in the DEA? trying to catch that heisenberg guy.... oh well i might be wrong.
