Notes as a reminder: • Trading is all about making educated guess, you don't know if it's going to work - coin-flip scenario • We lose money because we refuse to accept what is right in front of us. So, trade what you see, not what you think! • Either the market agrees with you or it does not • Scared money makes no money • Stop thinking: "What if?" • Start thinking: "If, then"

I read the book I listen to Iman you still really don't understand what this is all about. Your Playing in there Casino and they own the house, Over 80 percent automated and growing. Still really doesn't make any difference you still do not understand why you lose and will go broke. Now your mad, This is your problem. You and I go to JP Morgan and ask for a loan I walk out with my loan and a credit line and you are denied. You cant fix being desperate.
10 days in with paper trading, been fed up with all the influencers trying to share their BS courses. Your channel honestly is the one reason why I decided to pursue trading again

Think he just became a statistic 😢
I have followed him for a long time, & recently finished his book, & in future this book will definitely be regarded as one of the best. I always liked his Target-less approach...riding that 'One' trend for as long as it goes & that type of one in a month trend day is responsible for 90% of the profit i make & it also cuts down 100% of my loss.....only because i dont set targets when i am gaining high and high....sorry for my long comment, just needed to get this out somewhere XD.....just wanna say this guy really changed my p&l (no i am not a bot XD)....working on yourself is 90% of the game that is the mantra.....80% of my trade is in loss bt overall my month is in green!!!!

Hey man I have been listening to you all morning while trading a simulated account - just going down your most recent uploads. I really appreciate your approach to creating trading content. You’re funny, intelligent and it seems you have no intention to rip anyone off and are probably a gem of a channel. I am really tired of all the influencers and money motivating bull sh*t that is being produced and preached - I wish there was an algorithm for authenticity. You are authentic man and I appreciate that.

Hello mate :) We all have some kind of biais regarding that. I'm a better shorter than a buyer, that's a fact backed with months of data. It's ok, I know I'm at best average when it comes to buying an asset, so I reduce the risk while doing that, but when it comes to shorts, i double down on my positions, because factually i've better odds to be right than to be wrong if I go short on a bear trend :) Bottom line is : don't be afraid of the trend, as VM said too, just read what the market is doing at the time and act on it :) There are better odds for a trend to keep going on than to reverse, and that's a fact :)
Been watching a lot of your videos lately. It's so refreshing to hear something real in the trading space. Also, love your sarcasm and humor. Great videos!
You are legit one of my favorite KZreadrs and I can't express enough how much I love this book. It's one of the few books I've read thru multiple times
Very good of you to provide Hougaard such a thorough outline for his book '-))
I appreciate how your videos have got me thinking differently about trading. Thank you
This book helped me see that I was very consistent. I've managed several times to turn $120 loss into 2k and 4K losses by refusing to realize the loss before I had to.
Another great video. I also use the principles from this book and very similar to what Inman does.. However I'm a 99% automated forex trader so emotions really aren't a big issue. Please keep these videos coming I direct as many other traders to your channel and specific videos as much as I can. Buying audio version today.
I don't think Tom would mind you reading from his book. He's a very genuine human ....You do a good job of adding perspective ...gratitude.
Definitely the book I would recommend the most to anyone learning to trade. There's some technical stuff, but it insists that the key to success in trading is 10% technical knowledge and 90% psychology. New traders, myself included, think that analysis is the secret to making great traders. The best understand that strategies don't work all the time, and they don't have to. You can be wildly successful with a 30% hit rate because you manage risk and keep a cool head.
Man I found your channel some time ago like one or two weeks, and I'm loving the content explanations logics everything to be honest and your humor ofc but what I wanted to say is for you to just keep going and being real cause i can see you really want to help people and open the eyes off many that were mistaken by influencers . So much Love and thx for your time on preparing all the videos you have.👏
Hey man, I just want to say thank you for the content. I started my trading journey right around the same time as you. Keep at it. 👍👍 🙏
The process is the key. The process is a performance. The process is a cycle of action performed in a new unit of time A good performance is independent from the last.
Always coming out with quality content. 👌
Just picked up the Kindle and Audio. Really looking forward to reading/listening to this. The only other trading book I've read and loved was Trading in the Zone by Douglas and this looks like another gem.
Thank you for this awesome info!
Thank you so much. Excellent! Got audible version plus a paper copy. Actually, Tom recommended your KZread channel this morning at his telegram.
I was hooked by the snake oil of technical analysis youtubers I programmed a system based on many different indicators The data i gathered from running this system on multiple markets over the course of many months directly correlates with everything i have found on your channel so far I then found one of toms seminars one night on youtube and my perspective changed completely I tried doing it manually and didnt find success 🤣but i did learn a lot Today I found your channel and have been watching for the past 3 hours it has changed my perspective on a lot of the mistakes i make Trading is such a weird practice. Its like you are condemned to freedom , there is no one to tell you , there is no stack overflow to explain wtf happened , there is no guarantee that the past will occur again. Free to take whatever positions you want. Free to choose whatever method/system you want. Free to loose money as you please.

Thanks. I'll have to read the whole thing.
Thanks, amazing book ive read it 3 times now but a summary always helps. I also agree with you regarding disagreeing with his idea on RR, cause ever since i stopped using RR to "let trades run" i keep getting stopped out waaaay more than before. This is probably cause i trade on the 30-1h TF's and he trades mostly on the 5m so a 2% move for me might be a 10% for him.
THANK YOU!! a friend sent me info on this book. since I don't read fast, get easily distracted, I was looking for an audio edition & found you!! WOW!! guess was meant to be. Much APPRECIATIONS!!

The shape of the candle will not tell you what's going to happen next but it shows how price action went during that candles timeframe, for example it went down but closed up (hammer candle) shows that price was up when the candle closed and it had upside momentum which could indicate more upside movement afterwards. It's just increasing the likelyhood of something happening but u need way more info and analysis that would show upside to enter a trade that could possibly be a win. There is always randomness in the markets too and sometimes analysis will not work anyway.
Dude I just love ur work Just wanna say thank you!!!
So much knowledge here. I lost my ass yesterday trading the /NQ. I just kept watching it shoot up and up and up, thinking it HAS to pull down hard. I was humbled. And down, a lot. Got a big bear hug yesterday, but I'm not giving up on it. Honestly getting out of your own head, and thinking the market HAS to do something. Is honestly the hardest part about trading.
I decided not to comment, thinking I might simply be adding noise. Then your other video gets taken down. Thanks Iman for presenting great resources. It is because of this video that I purchased Tom’s book for myself. Your videos are also the reason I purchased Mark’s book. I worked as a scientist for the last decade running statistics on biological data and before that I studied psychology and human behavior. “Psychology and charts!?! Why didn’t I think to pursue this option sooner??” And then I found your channel. I may be changing careers a little late in life, but thanks to you I have a direction that will shave years off my pursuit of sustainable profit. Thanks for making this path more rewarding and entertaining.

The ups and downs are there. You decide when to ride in.
Been a while since I've stopped by; great to see you still growing! Tom is one of the best I know. Wise folks will listen to him and do the repetitive hard work, but 90% won't. Hope your trading is well!

Best trading book out there!
I think the thing that makes Iman really stands out is the solid logic behind everything. If you do not view price action objectively and logically, how can you be successful consistently ? I'm obsessed with ICT a month ago, but now I think that there is not a clear wining logic behind it. If it something is not logical, then how can we rely on that and dream that we can size up by doing that consistently? Iman really helps me build a logical and clear framework to view things objectively
that's good summary Iman. thanks man

Excellent explanation 👌
You mentioned the shape of a candle is not indicative of what will happen next, and I only kinda agree Trading is all about being on the side of the majority, the side with the most volume, and if there is history of a reaction after a candle, then the odds may be in your favor since others will think like that too, bringing more volume to your favored direction

I agree on this. If I see a massive bullish hammer candle on say the hourly chart at a key area, the probabilities that the price will move up more are higher than if at that same area, I saw a bearish "shooting star"
"We lose money because we refuse to accept what is right in front of us." This is the key observation. First -- actually "seeing" is very very difficult -- we LOOK, which means we are looking for "something (pattern)" and we don't SEE what is in fact there. On top of that, we're are more attached to being RIGHT than we are to actually making a good trade, and the final nail in the coffin is that we are stubborn, and we have a hell of a time admitting we are wrong, especially when that would be acknowledging the pain caused by the losses. A deadly cocktail which keeps most of us from succeeding at something that machines excel at.
Looks like I'm buying the book now. Great video.

I'll be honest... this video was a bit hard for me to watch. It was to much: "Remember when I said that in my video and this in my other video". I understand that it feels good to get your theories and methods validated by a profitable trader, especially after a bunch of people hated on you and your trading. But stay humble, yes? Anyway keep up the good work!
My huge wins back in my days trading options were so huge and just overly satisfying that it made it easier to take loss. Not every win was massive but enough but I loved seeing the green. I also practiced trading others money which were lower amounts so I wasn't shy from enjoying that 50$ to several hundred.
Great video, but I'd suggest not pausing the flow of the video to put in remarks digging at other traders who we all already know are unprofitable. Referencing your previous videos or explaining a different perspective is helpful. Keep these coming, very insightful.
yo iman -- want to say thank you for your videos -- get a lot of out the psychological aspects.. quick question though -- is it possible to monetize your videos with ads before? id much rather go through 1-2 minutes of ads in the beginning and maybe 1 ad during and towards the end? finding the ads popping up during the video take away form the impact of the video if that makes sense. almost like trying to trade chop. haha.. again -- great videos and much appreciated
Did I just like the video without watching it? If it is by Iman, it must be good 😆

I agree with you about candle formation like hammers and shooting stars. You should never enter a trade based on that. Order blocks work well but nothing is 100%. Patterns are good but fail a lot. It comes down to knowing how the market moves which you learn from time and experience. You need to know where to enter and where to take profits and where you’re wrong, most importantly, you need to be patient and not be afraid of being wrong and most importantly, don’t take profits out of fear

what has been the most important take away for you from the table on concious vs subconcius beliefs when applying certain strategies when trading? (besides the fact that they all lead to avoid pain)
I am subscribed to his free Telegram channel and I would sometimes listen to his live trading. After a few days of listening I could tell he has some serious psychological issues. Probably stemming from his childhood family trauma (but don’t we all). He will whinge out over someone’s comment or because his live stream is lagging 4 seconds instead of 2 seconds. Just really odd OCD stuff. His trading style is not just high risk but insane. He will stay in a trade way longer than he should and will bail out quickly on half of his winners. He probably is very profitable but also very volatile and most people who follow him would blow out their account in a few weeks. He will have massive drawdowns one week, and massive wins the next.

Interesting 😬
Trader Tom (easier than saying "Hougaard"!), along with Mark Douglas, has been significant for improving my trading. Before both of them I spent upwards of $45K on courses and mentors (I don't wish that idiocy on anyone!). Over the last few years have done a lot of long drives with Mark Douglas playing -- have learned so much in terms of concepts such as pre-defining and accepting risk, not needing to know what will happen next to be successful and the random outcomes of trading. Tom's book and telegram channel are also both excellent.
I fw u dude
Tom Sosnoff says that charts and tech analysis is good for helping engagement and forming an assumption, which is good because it helps formulate your trading plan, but that’s it.. it doesn’t predict or tell you what the price will actually do. I thought that was wise and doesn’t contradict anything you are teaching.
I get this.

Having a process that you trust along with decisiveness and patience can make you a profitable trader.

I like to chop it up into this. If your the type of person that will lose more than 50% of the time in a coin flipping contest with your friends its highly likely you wont ever be a profitable trader no matter what.
How do you know that your discomfort and pain is the same as that of most people whos average is driving the market?

Hey sorry, that video was kind of bad so I privated it and it’s only on Patreon. Introverts are at an advantage because being alone is energizing and where we thrive, whereas extroverts get their energy from social interactions. Trading is a lonely career, which is great for introverts and means extroverts should probably join some type of community to get their social fix :). That’s basically it for the most part.
Tom was praising you today on Livestream said your trolls are best & you have soothing voice. He said Iman must be getting lots of women😂
