Speaker A

Yes, hello everyone once again. I’m really glad that quite a lot of people signed up for the first, and hopefully not last, contest on this channel. I think it’s going to be fun. Let’s wait a little bit for people to gather,

00:26

Speaker A

and then we’ll start our auction. Unprecedented generosity. I put a lot of work into this. I hope you appreciate it. Both the format itself and the vibe. Anyway, it’s all for my favorite viewers. The format will be as

00:55

Speaker A

follows. At first, well, we’ll start giving away gifts, books in between, answer some questions in the breaks, have a chat, but we won’t drag it out too long. We’ll see how it goes, based on the general vibe. Yeah. Well,

01:16

Speaker A

something like that. It’s a light session today, we’ll keep it in a festive spirit. Let’s wait just about three or four minutes. And then we’ll begin. My main goal today is not to spill the contents of this glass onto

01:40

Speaker A

my laptop. That would be sad. I hope we can avoid any incidents. I remember someone was writing in, asking some questions. We’ll check those out too and, of course, discuss them as we go.

02:30

Speaker A

Tell me, how is your mood, how is your year ending? Checking the chat. Everything is good. Well, keep the compliments coming. Thank you, of course. Is the year ending well for everyone? What are the results? Did you achieve your goals, or are you on your

03:11

Speaker A

way? Ah, look guys, I see some people raising their hands. We’ll chat, of course, if you want, but after the giveaway is done; first, we’ll raffle off the 10 books. During the giveaway, I’ll just answer the questions that

03:33

Speaker A

were sent via text beforehand in DMs and in some comments to previous posts, and then after the main part, well, we can chat with you. If there’s still interest. Okay, well, just a couple of minutes, and we’ll start little by

04:06

Speaker A

little. Personally, I do set goals for myself, but they aren't strict deadlines. That is, I hope they get done eventually, and when they do, there will be other goals. But I don't attach myself to any specific time or

04:53

Speaker A

dates. Yeah. Alright then. Shall we run the first test giveaway? To be honest, guys, I don't know how it will turn out because I was testing this whole thing on recordings and often noticed some lags in the animations or something

05:14

Speaker A

else. Yeah. I still blame it on TG. I tried to launch a test stream through YouTube, but, uh, I’m a boomer, so I couldn't immediately figure out how to hook up screens on a YouTube stream.

05:32

Speaker A

There. And I think I’ll leave that for next year after all. So I decided, better the devil you know, right?

05:43

Speaker A

That’s why I decided to host the last stream of the year on TG as well. So, if anything, don't hold it against me.

05:50

Speaker A

I’ve certainly tried my best to make it look as high-quality as possible, to load it with some quality content. But here we have to deal with Telegram’s algorithms. I have no control over them, unfortunately. Alright then. Let’s

06:04

Speaker A

see how this all turns out, and I’ll explain to you in more detail what’s happening today. This is a wheel of fortune. Each slice within this circle is a registered user. By the way, I had to enter every single user manually,

06:35

Speaker A

copying and pasting nicknames, because unfortunately, this platform doesn’t allow you to just copy and paste a list of participants. I decided to do a bit of routine work, but it’s all for the sake of quality content. I’m sure

06:51

Speaker A

many recognize this setting. And for those who don’t, it’s probably better if they don’t know. So, this is the format we’ll be using. A total of 230 people signed up. Wait, now I 239. 239 people, which is, accordingly,

07:12

Speaker A

about 10% of my entire audience on the channel. There. And the format will be as follows. First, pairs will be selected for the giveaway; I think I’ll pick two winners, and then each prize will be raffled off between them

07:32

Speaker A

individually. Why, you ask? Well, because we remember perfectly well, right, that the statistics for winners in trading, those who remain in the profession, are about 5 percent, plus or minus, so to cut 10% down to five, this decision was made. Plus, it’s

07:50

Speaker A

just more interesting, since you can’t see the nicknames here or anything due to the large number of participants, whereas in the individual competition, you can root for someone and feel more personally connected to what’s happening. I hope it will be

08:04

Speaker A

more interesting this way. There. So let’s, let’s give it a try. Okay, well, I hope everyone is ready. Now we’re starting the first spin. Let me know if the wheel is lagging or if everything looks fine. Everything’s fine, great. So, our first winner is

08:52

Speaker A

Bestrol. We’ll copy him quickly now. Okay, and the second. This is the draw for the first prize, that is, for for for for one good trading book. Okay, and someone who just dropped their address. Ilya Poltovets. I hope Ilya

09:46

Speaker A

Poltovets is with us today in the live broadcast. There. And what do we do next? Next up, we have an individual competition. An individual competition, also using a wheel, but a personal one.

10:22

Speaker A

Between two winners. Okay, now I need to double-check something, have I have I enabled everything. So, let's start the giveaway for the first item of our stream. No way. Yes, that's not...on the second one and and the first winner

11:30

Speaker A

in the channel's history, Bite Me Bee. There he is, winning our item called "One Good Trade" by Belofiore, so we congratulate him. He's also known as Ilya Poltovets. So nice, as they say.

11:55

Speaker A

Big congrats to the winner. Well, that's about how our evening will go today. Let me know if everything was audible and visible, everything okay.

12:11

Speaker A

If so, we'll continue moving forward like this. Yes, you can write questions here, under this comment. The music is very loud. Well, let's turn it down now. There. But we still have nine giveaways ahead. In short, the winners

12:57

Speaker A

will be listed in the comment under the stream recording, which I'll post to my channel. There. And there will also be a contact person you'll need to message regarding your address and all delivery details. And that's how you'll receive

13:20

Speaker A

your won prizes. There. Well then, congratulations to Lyukha on the first prize. Respect. Well done for participating. Well, let's do a quick test run. I actually liked it myself.

13:55

Speaker A

So, let's probably set less time for the intermediate semifinal, so to speak. Oh my, what kind of people do we have here as candidates. Familiar faces.

14:27

Speaker A

It's Tagrul flying in as a contender for the book "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator". It's getting interesting now. I have some personal involvement here. Okay, and the second one. Who will be Tagrul's opponent in this giveaway? Who

14:57

Speaker A

else but the person with the nickname Babosix? Let's have Babosix against Tagrul. I'll try to rig it. I'll try to rig the game. Babosix versus Tagrul.

15:25

Speaker A

That's the battle we deserved. Okay, everything's ready. On the count of three. Starting the spins. Slots are spinning, books are being made. Where's the music? Yeah, it's not the same without music. Oh. We're taking, taking a long time. No, no, no "nepotism"

16:23

Speaker A

helped. One faith was not enough for you, Tagrul. Unfortunately, for Babosix, Babosix flies away. Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. What can you do? Such is life, right? Stopped out, Tagrul got stopped out. That's it, you're out. Too

16:47

Speaker A

bad, too bad. Well, it's alright, it's alright. You'll recover, you'll get lucky next time. So, Babosix wins, it turns out, "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator". We're doing well so far, I think. Okay, let's chat in the breaks between between the giveaways. Let me

17:29

Speaker A

know, how's the music now, is it okay, or too loud? Guys, I'm not the one sending them, I'm not the one sending.

17:40

Speaker A

They are sending. It's still loud, but I don't know how else to turn it down.

17:53

Speaker A

But I did refresh it. There, alright, it should be fine now. Tell me, does winning a trading book giveaway contribute to long-term professional fitness in trading? Well, indirectly, I suppose, it probably contributes a little bit indirectly. How often do I

18:49

Speaker A

hit my daily drawdown? Well, maybe, if it's an active month, I might hit it two or three times a month. If i

19:02

Speaker A

Once. How did my year close out? Fine, nothing too extraordinary. It was fine, no complaints. Basically, not a record, not bad. Average. Which is, in principle, not bad in itself, because it's stable. There. Yeah, the main thing is being in the black. Haven't

19:25

Speaker A

taken out any microloans yet. Haven't slept by the heating pipes a single time. I hope I won't have to. Yes, I have to refresh this music page, and every time I have to adjust the volume.

19:51

Speaker A

I just forgot to do it the second time. Now we'll continue spinning the slots.

19:57

Speaker A

Everything should be fine. How do you like my preparation in general? Everything is great, everything is cool . To be honest, with my perfectionism and slight OCD, well, I had to sweat a little bit. There. Well, I hope you

20:21

Speaker A

like it. If you like it, that's cool. Do I drink often? Well, it depends on who you compare me with, of course. If if you compare it with the crowd that inhabits my home town, then probably very little. No, under no circumstances

20:53

Speaker A

, when I'm working, never drink or consume anything else that actively affects your psycho-emotional state.

21:04

Speaker A

You need to be fresh, well-rested, in general, ready and capable of working. No, such a luxury I can only allow myself in good company, in particular in the good company of my favorite subscribers. There. If there are winners in the chat or on the stream,

21:30

Speaker A

please share your impressions. It's probably your first casino win live on air. Good evening. I watched the previous streams that are available on YouTube. I liked your ability to translate information into a culinary dish, in quotes. Very tasty, very

21:58

Speaker A

filling. Thank you. How do I participate in the giveaway? Well, you had to participate in the giveaway before the recording, of course, because the info was out long ago and repeated multiple times. It's too late now, the event itself is already

22:15

Speaker A

happening. The audience is interested in how much I bench press. Well, back in my sports youth, my record was 195 kg at a body weight of 98 kg. Right now , since I got injured a few years ago,

22:42

Speaker A

I tore my pec. Now I'm like a Frankenstein's monster on a budget, I don't go for heavy weights anymore. I bench press 110-120 kg on an incline bench for 8-10 reps. That's if we're talking about the barbell. Yeah. Well,

22:59

Speaker A

I rarely bench press with a barbell now . Deadlift or squat? Oh, here we go. I thought I was out, but they pulled me back in. Probably the squat, after all.

23:22

Speaker A

I'll be 28 years old on February 20th. Soon, currently 27. Ah, yeah, well I wouldn't say it was really painful.

23:33

Speaker A

It's been more painful than that here. Well, it's basically a muscle tear. It's unpleasant. The pec didn't even turn blue. Everything just flowed down into my bicep. Blood and intermuscular fluid. Well, nothing too serious. Guys are interested in the Sivneglazov past.

23:57

Speaker A

They ask me: "When was the last time you got into a fight?" I'm not going to tell you. The statute of limitations might not be up yet. Do I hit my neighbors when I hit a drawdown? Well, I practically don't have any neighbors

24:14

Speaker A

on my floor. Yeah. But no. I just stick to the wall and the table. I recently bought a new welded one, very reliable.

24:26

Speaker A

Well, blondes, of course. Of course, blondes. There's really no two ways about it. Well, we're having a nice, cozy time here. To be honest, I was a bit worried the market would be active and no one would come. I'd be like that

24:44

Speaker A

girl who organized a meetup and no one showed up. But no, it's calmed down a bit here. And we can chat actively. So, let's continue. Let's keep going. Our next item is this isn't specialized literature anymore, it's just

25:13

Speaker A

bibliographical recommendations. This is "The Mind of a Mnemonist" by the great Soviet neurologist and psychologist Luria. An extremely interesting book. That's why it actually made it onto our list today.

25:38

Speaker A

Yeah. I hope whoever gets the pleasure of reading this book likes it too. Luria was a representative of what he and his followers later called romantic neurology. Well, he actually devoted a lot of time to quite classical neurology as well. And he didn't

26:03

Speaker A

abandon a genre like romantic neurology either. Yeah. Uh-huh. Alright, let's go . Spin the wheel. And the first contender for this wonderful book is Young Person. Okay. Just a reminder, guys, if you are a candidate or winner of our casino event today, please write

26:47

Speaker A

in the chat. Uh-huh. Lovks, second contender. Excellent. Now, the individual draw. Everything by the usual standards. I feel bad for the trader who got stopped out, but it's okay, it's okay. I think there will be more auctions for useful stuff. You'll

27:32

Speaker A

always be able to make a comeback. So, let's start spinning, bit by bit. Everything is ready. Let's go. No, not let's go. Restarting. Ah, I see. Done.

28:09

Speaker A

This, in short, is the minimum volume level. Let's see, now. Oh, we're working. Well, he narrowly, just barely managed to bypass his opponent, his main rival, the only one. Well then, the treat called "The Little Book on Big Memory" goes to Malovyks. Shall we

29:05

Speaker A

congratulate him? We already have three winners. A reminder, that's Ilya Poltovets, Babosiks, and Kamalovyks.

29:15

Speaker A

Respect. Well, I, I already explained there why this is a stream on Telegram. I hope next year I'll be able to organize everything properly. on YouTube. There. And as for fighting addictions, well, it's difficult. I haven't read anything on that, on

29:58

Speaker A

addictology. That's not, not for me, in short. I don't know, I haven't encountered any serious addictions myself, so I wasn't interested. How do I view strategy 1 and strategy 2 in the pinned messages, they won't open? And what isn't working there? What won't

30:22

Speaker A

open? Just click setup 1, setup 2, and so on. Everything should open. And then all the examples for that setup can be checked, read, and hopefully used to improve your trading quality. Hi, Mark.

30:56

Speaker A

I remember in one of your past streams you talked about other ways to relax.

31:03

Speaker A

I'd like to hear more about how you relieve stress and unwind outside of streams. Maybe there are some interesting methods besides wine, yes, there are. I like to walk. You can also do some active exercise. Yeah. Well, like, there are a great many options

31:28

Speaker A

for active exercise. Whatever you want, you can, in general, take well, as an example. You can travel a bit around your home country or foreign countries.

31:47

Speaker A

You can just distance yourself from trading for a while. I'm a big fan of cinema, for example, and literature as well. So for me, that's also a way to create distance when needed. That's how . What? So. No special kind of some

32:16

Speaker A

kind of eccentric forms of leisure, I don't, I don't resort to them, so to speak. Everything is more or less ordinary. Hmm. I think if you mean, well, the person is asking, how did the love for literature start? If you mean

32:52

Speaker A

the desire to read, then it's unlikely it just appears. It's either there, or, or it's not. You can just either suppress it or stimulate it somehow. It was always there, I always had interesting things, and it was always

33:07

Speaker A

interesting to figure things out. And I'm the type of person who cannot do anything superficially. If I do something, I have to do it smartly, diving into the topic as deeply as possible. And here, like it or not, you

33:25

Speaker A

have to read books. There. Basically, something like that. The Snow Maiden is resting. Oh, right, and "strepukha"( cooking) too, of course. How could it be otherwise? Well, of course, of course. Well, "strepukha" is all just a form of physical exercise, so to speak.

33:58

Speaker A

That’s it, Sergei managed to get to the setups, which is also a pretty good result for our gathering today. Okay then. Well, let's move on to the fourth , the fourth prize draw. And our fourth one is a book by another neurologist.

34:36

Speaker A

This time it's a book by the British-born American neurologist Oliver Sacks. And the next lot, by the way, is also by him. This book is "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat." It’s sort of an overview almanac of

34:55

Speaker A

neurological disorders that lead to eccentric forms of perception and behavior. An extremely interesting little book. So, for "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat," the following pair will be battling it out.

35:25

Speaker A

Whoa, another well-known citizen, colleague Yura. Yura, this is what we call working. So, Yurets, the first contender for the book, and the next one. And Escapaul. What is this, what is this kaleidoscope of familiar people ? Everything is fair and not rigged. So

36:24

Speaker A

, we have Yura versus Paul. Almost a Street Fighter-style showdown. Yura and Paul are fighting for "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat." Okay, everything is ready. Starting the spin.

37:35

Speaker A

Yeah, for some reason, my acquaintances today are getting margin-called and flying out one by one. What is going on ? Well, unfortunately, there can be no rigging here. And so Yura-Yura wins the book. The little book "The Man Who

38:03

Speaker A

Mistook His Wife for a Hat." And he is also our fourth winner of the evening.

38:16

Speaker A

The next lot is "Hallucinations." Also by Oliver Sacks, this is probably one of the most interesting books I have ever read in my life. It is incredibly interesting. I don't know, maybe the winner won't share my impressions, but

38:31

Speaker A

I hope they do. Tell me, which psychedelics do you prefer? Well, I don't prefer any. And if there is a connection for me between sports and discipline in trading? Well, one moment . In general, as the author of the book

39:26

Speaker A

we gave away as the first lot today found out at the time, two types of people have an advantage in the profession. The first is graduates of some technical universities, people with an analytical mindset, and people who have devoted a significant part of

39:50

Speaker A

their lives to sports, preferably professional. I have spoken about this repeatedly, and I referred to this book and the author because I have encountered this effect and phenomenon myself. Of course, it’s a very strong and serious advantage, because trading

40:12

Speaker A

is, in its form, a very simple thing. Your task is to repeat the same actions , attempting to achieve perfection in them as much as you can. That is to say , it’s literally any sport. Literally any sport. If you have already

40:34

Speaker A

accustomed yourself to that, if you achieved results in the past when doing something similar, that gives you an edge in the profession to some extent.

40:48

Speaker A

It doesn’t guarantee anything, because there can never be any guarantees, no matter what you do or what background you have, but it does allow you to shift the probabilities.

40:59

Speaker A

And The best case, of course, is if you have managed to combine professional sports and an analytical mindset within yourself. That’s when you’ll have a sort of advantage. But, answering briefly, of course, developed discipline is a very, very serious

41:24

Speaker A

advantage. By the way, on how to develop discipline and what to do for it, check out my latest podcast featuring Kostya Akhmetov and neurobiologist Vladimir Alipov. We talked about it in detail there. Yeah.

41:52

Speaker A

So, we already have four winners. Moving on. Good, we're at a good pace. I remind you that if the participants and winners of our current giveaway are in the chat or online, you can message, and our other beloved community will

42:18

Speaker A

sincerely congratulate you. And again, I remind you that all results will be in the first comment under this stream recording. There will also be the contact of the person you need to write to in order to receive your prizes. And

42:41

Speaker A

if everything goes well, you will likely even be able to get them before the New Year. You got lucky somewhere, Yura. Yurovna, you got lucky. You won one of the books. You can look at all the detailed information later in the

43:04

Speaker A

first comment under the recording. You won an Oliver Sacks book. "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat." Yeah. Well then, let’s move to the fifth item.

43:21

Speaker A

Same Oliver Sacks, only this time the book is "Hallucinations." There. Contenders. The selection begins, the semi-final. Vkchel. First contender.

44:03

Speaker A

Also known as Vova Kurilenko, he is our first contender for Hallucinations. And his opponent, Arsem. Let's get to work.

44:38

Speaker A

So, Arsem versus Vova in the fight for Hallucinations. Once again, the exact matchup we all deserve. Let’s go. But there are no options here, that's it. " Hallucinations" goes to Arsem, whom we congratulate. Well, I hope you like the

46:07

Speaker A

book, because in my opinion, it's one of the best. Oh, there he is. We have a couple of winners in the chat. Well, guys, I'm genuinely happy for you. A bit later, you'll have all the information. You will be able to find

46:36

Speaker A

it in the first message under the stream recording. Everything is cool, cool. So, right now um let me try to find the question that was asked. in one of the previous posts. Yes, here it is. Good afternoon. I've been trading

47:36

Speaker A

for about 3 years. I am primarily a momentum trader, taking both small breakouts and new highs, and fading them as well. More than six months ago, I finally started to succeed, managed to increase my volume, and at first,

47:49

Speaker A

everything went well. But the market changed recently, and the moves and levels stopped being technical. Besides that, I gave back quite a bit on catching falling or rising knives.

48:01

Speaker A

Furthermore, I combine trading with a job, working a two-on-two-off schedule. And this also makes it hard to keep my finger on the pulse. Because the market , in my view, changed for a while, I felt anxious and realized I was

48:14

Speaker A

defenseless in that market. It seems the market is recovering now, but the anxiety remains. And I would really like to talk to you about the market.

48:24

Speaker A

I've always taught myself through various YouTube videos and now I'm trying your way, if Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

48:32

Speaker A

Well, I see. Well, look. Here is what you need to know about the market globally. I've mentioned this somewhere before. Let me repeat it briefly. The market doesn't change globally, right?

48:47

Speaker A

If we are in a market economy, the range of any exchange anomalies is quite limited. And that only concerns the anomalies themselves. But in general, the ordinary behavior of markets is very cyclical. Basically, there are only two things that can

49:06

Speaker A

happen to a market. One is the shifting of its phases. And these phases will repeat at certain, though not necessarily uniform, intervals. And the second is the increasing complexity of the market. Complexity through regulation and increased efficiency.

49:23

Speaker A

Increased efficiency refers to the arrival of large capital, which acts, in general, with different methods than a retail trader or a market participant . Uh both of these processes have pros and cons. They shouldn't be seen as purely negative or positive. Regarding

49:50

Speaker A

your problem of chronic background anxiety about being able to be effective in the market, you need to understand one thing. A good trading system will be effective in any phase of the market. Just more effective in one, less in another. But it should be

50:12

Speaker A

such that you could, in principle, earn at least something in any market phase. The question is whether the amount of effort spent in an unsuitable market phase (unsuitable, I mean, for your specific trading style)—is that time worth spending on trading. it is

50:35

Speaker A

individual for everyone, yes. If we are talking about long-term profitable traders, those who have a financial cushion and aren't tied to the terminal like a factory worker to a machine, then there are many arguments for why you shouldn't do it. That is,

50:58

Speaker A

preserving your efficiency, nerves, energy, and time. But you can also find arguments in favor of it, yes, for why even a successful trader, who lives off the market and has capital and a cushion, should still stay in tune with

51:18

Speaker A

what is happening in the market. Uh, but this is a personal question. Everyone has to decide this for themselves. If you don't live off the market and it's not your only source of income, then one way or another you

51:37

Speaker A

must trade everything that exists, meaning any phase of any market, efficient, inefficient, and so on. As if getting your hand in and forming that very trading strategy that will allow you to earn something, at least, at almost any time. That is the answer

51:59

Speaker A

to your question. And I should probably add that most people on their career path have encountered something similar , because each person enters at a specific phase of the market and learns during that specific phase, and as soon

52:17

Speaker A

as it changes, they become, in general, uncomfortable. There. Well, overcoming this discomfort is a necessary stage of learning and development. So, in general, I don't see any serious cause for concern. Especially if you say that for the last six months you’ve

52:41

Speaker A

started to see some results. Adapt, be flexible. That's all that's required of a trader. Have I tried bots? No, I haven't. So, what do we have? We already have five winners. And that means it's time for the sixth. Let's go

53:15

Speaker A

. Qualifying round. Naked Scalp. The first contender. Oh, I didn't announce the prize. Well, I need to fix that right away. We are currently giving away. Yes, this is an interesting work.

53:54

Speaker A

It’s called "Explaining Religion." An anthropologist wrote it. In general, for, well, sort of a fresh perspective on a familiar question, it can be both interesting and useful. That’s why it was included in this list. So, our first contender, Naked Scalp, is

54:19

Speaker A

competing for the book "Explaining Religion." Someone named Trezvovich is his opponent. So, the sixth pair of opponents. Everything is ready. We are starting now. Without any intrigue, the spin went without intrigue. And Naked Scalp wins the book. I think, I think

55:55

Speaker A

the scientist's name is Pascal Boyer, the author. And "Explaining Religion" goes off to Naked Scalp. The sixth winner. What wine am I drinking now and what are my general preferences in wine ? Well, I mainly drink white, and

56:41

Speaker A

mostly Portuguese Vinho Verde. Well, that is exactly what my preferences boil down to. What do you think of the old guy in the background? The old guy’s name is Petrovich. Petrovich got blown up and hung by his most

57:19

Speaker A

precious parts. I won’t say where I dug all this up. It’s a secret. Secret shipments. Parallel imports.

58:13

Speaker A

Well, as for the short position setup, that’s stage number two. Just read it , take a look. Check what I wrote about it, watch the streams where it’s analyzed, and please, use it. I mean, it’s the exact same situation where

58:31

Speaker A

you can, in principle, build up good volume and get good potential out of it . There. I mean, I’ve already analyzed, shown, and described it many times. Wait, what do you mean, no?

58:47

Speaker A

It’s among those streams that are uploaded to my channel. There. And by searching in the channel’s pinned messages. Stage number two. You check it and watch it. Well, let’s move on to the next lot. And the next lot we

59:20

Speaker A

have is, oh, this is Max Weber. The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. By and large, an attempt to explain how culture influences the development of society and the economy, and why some nations live one way while

59:48

Speaker A

others live differently. And I’m trying to keep this spoiler-free in the broadest sense. Ah, a very interesting book. A classic of economy, economics, and political economy; it’s generally not hard to read, accessible, yet perfectly academic literature. There.

60:16

Speaker A

And for the chance to partake in this treat. We will have competing Buri-Buri and a lot of numbers. It’s even a bit scary to think what kind of person would have such a nickname. Yami Uf is in the mix too. So, Buri-Buri and

60:59

Speaker A

Yamiuf are competing for the chance to understand how a state managed to achieve absolute dominance in economy and politics over 200 years. And how one specific person explains it? Oh, wrong one. Let’s go. Everything is ready. Let’s get started. Well, here

62:31

Speaker A

is our seventh winner, and they get the wonderful book The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. There will be a list of winning participants after the stream. I’ll check now, but I won’t know anything yet. But I

63:02

Speaker A

already said all the results will be in the first comment under the recording of this broadcast. Once the stream ends , I’ll save it, upload it to YouTube, pin it in the post, and all the info will be there. So everyone will

63:21

Speaker A

definitely find out, everyone will get everything, don't worry. Recalling your past streams, you spoke about a deep understanding of the order book and tape dynamics. It seems to me these insights come with practice and observation, but I’d like to hear

64:07

Speaker A

about specific aspects to look out for right now. I am familiar with factors like the exhaustion of sellers or buyers and the rapid return of the dominant side twice as fast as the opposing one. Well, you need to

64:20

Speaker A

understand that there are no discrete values, right? It's not necessarily two times faster. And it's hardly possible to objectively measure this speed at any given moment. You just have to sort of understand and feel that one side is

64:34

Speaker A

pushing or driving the price more intensely and faster than the opposite side. Perhaps there are some other secret tricks. Or maybe everything I've mentioned is all you really need to know. I wouldn't want to miss the chance to hear some advice. Ah, well,

64:57

Speaker A

generally speaking, any knowledge probably comes with practice and observation. Not necessarily. The only thing is that since we are dealing with a craft here, like in any trade, to get better at it, you just have to do it,

65:19

Speaker A

right? I mean, it's pointless to just listen, read, or think and fantasize about it. Well, it's not entirely pointless to read or watch, but thinking and fantasizing alone is definitely pointless. But the most important and fundamental thing is just

65:35

Speaker A

to do it—just trade, try it out. If it doesn't work, try again and again.

65:42

Speaker A

And so, as one old Austrian said, practice is the criterion of truth, and you need to constantly orient yourself toward that. Therefore, as far as specific markers for the dynamics of price behavior and orders in the order book, the tape, or trades, I don't

66:06

Speaker A

really recall any off the top of my head. Every trader, especially those who started with scalp trading or who actively use the tape and order book in their practice, has their own little quirks that are very hard to formalize.

66:27

Speaker A

It could probably be done if you really wanted to. It just feels like there's no real point to it, as it reflects your direct experience, and for another person to understand it...What exactly do you mean in this regard? They would

66:45

Speaker A

need to have similar experience, right, and that's very hard to achieve. A lot in this matter depends on intuitive understanding. Yes, I will remind the viewers and listeners again, who perhaps haven't caught the previous broadcasts and discussions on this,

67:03

Speaker A

that intuition is understood as the unconscious use of existing experience. That is the basic, classic definition of what is called intuition. So, this unconscious use of existing experience implies, first of all, having that experience, and secondly, having enough

67:23

Speaker A

of it for the unconscious application of that accumulated experience. There you go. Mm, and since circumstances in the order book change very quickly, there is very little time for any prolonged analysis, so to a significant extent, a trader relies on intuition—

67:48

Speaker A

that very thing I just mentioned. In this regard, it is probably not worth trying to explain or formalize anything further. It either makes no sense, or almost none, especially considering the balance of time spent versus utility.

68:12

Speaker A

If I recall anything that could be demonstrated clearly so that there are few or no questions left, I will write about it or talk about it in one of the live streams. There. But it seems that everything that is basically

68:34

Speaker A

understandable for the viewers, I have already said and described. There. Well , something like that. Well then, let's move on to the next, to the next lot and the next winner. The eighth one, at that. Oh, this is an excellent book. I

69:05

Speaker A

think I recommended it back on the first stream of this channel, if memory serves. The book is "Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?" A wonderful work, extremely interesting and extremely useful for broadening your horizons, to look at yourself,

69:30

Speaker A

your species, and everything around us a little differently. So, for the book. Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? We will have rivals. The next pair. Starting the selection. So, the first contender for the prize is

70:12

Speaker A

Sliklis. joining the line of contenders for the prize. His opponent his opponent is Sanyochek Gdzhi. So, Sliklis and Sanyochek Gdzhi are competing for a wonderful book. Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? Everything is ready. I understand.

71:23

Speaker A

That’s it, I understand. It will be quieter now. Let's go. That’s it, Sanyochek Gdzhi pulled off the win.

71:59

Speaker A

Respect, he gets the book. Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?

72:11

Speaker A

And he is our eighth winner. Well, maybe let's finish the whole auction right now. I've answered enough questions, no new ones are coming in.

73:13

Speaker A

Apparently, human nature is showing itself. Everyone is dying to know. Who, who are these remaining two people? Who will loot the remaining two lots. So, the next lot. This is another wonderful book on ethology. called "Introduction to Behavior" by Boris Zhukov, a very

73:51

Speaker A

good science journalist. I am somewhat skeptical of this category of people, but Boris Zhukov is a very good exception. A huge professional in his field, he wrote an absolutely stunning book. In general, about the behavior of animals and humans. It's like a truly

74:16

Speaker A

introductory overview text. Very, very interesting and very useful. Most importantly, perhaps, for the reader.

74:23

Speaker A

And one of its advantages is that it is very easy to purchase a physical copy.

74:35

Speaker A

So, for "Introduction to Behavior," we will have competing Lames, the first candidate. And Kiter. The second candidate. Working on it. Everything is ready. Let's go. Wow, intriguing. Yes, it's a close call. Natonenkogo beats Las. So, Laminsas is the ninth winner.

76:31

Speaker A

He gets an excellent book by Boris Zhukov. Introduction to Behavior. And without further ado, let's see who will take our final prize of the evening.

77:03

Speaker A

The final prize today is another neurologist, but this time, it's perhaps the most prominent neurologist of our time, Ramachandran, who wrote an amazing book called Phantoms in the Brain. It’s basically an overview of specific brain phenomena and everything

77:33

Speaker A

that constitutes them. It is extremely interesting. And well, again, I keep saying the same thing, but it’s no coincidence these books made it onto the list. These are the things I personally found very interesting to read recently. And I learned a lot of

77:50

Speaker A

interesting things from them. And so I hope that all of today’s winners will also find it very interesting to ah expand their knowledge base in this way . Let's see who, who it will be. Well, short and clear. Someone with the

78:19

Speaker A

nickname ES as the first contender and Vladislav Karpov, the second contender. Uh-huh. So. The final spin of the evening. Let's go. I understand everything. I understand, guys. And you understand me, this is the first time.

80:11

Speaker A

Well, that's it. Vladislav Karpov wins the Ramachandran book. Phantoms in the Brain. So, just to recap, there will be a recording of this stream. It will be posted on the Telegram channel, and the first comment will list all the winners

80:37

Speaker A

along with the prizes they won, and the contact for the person you need to message regarding prize shipping.

80:47

Speaker A

That’s all. I hope everyone understood this and there won't be any questions left. There. Well, something like that. I hope no one left disappointed. I hope everyone enjoyed it. Come on, if there are any more questions, we can chat a little. What

81:25

Speaker A

are the goals for next year regarding your community? Perhaps some podcasts, invitations for you to go elsewhere, or guests on your channel. Well, in our turbulent times, it’s very hard to plan anything, but there are some collaboration options. It’s still

81:46

Speaker A

unknown how feasible it is or if it will work out at all. I think we might see something more or less familiar in terms of content. But otherwise, I’m not making any predictions. Anything can happen. And regarding the community

82:06

Speaker A

as well. I mean, I generally like the dynamic in which the channel is growing . It really pleases me in a certain way . I’ve said it several times already, and I’ll say it again, that I didn’t expect such activity in terms

82:27

Speaker A

of subscriber growth and the community's involvement in the life of the channel. It is very pleasant and flattering. There. Well, I will try, as much as possible, to do everything in my power to keep delighting you with content and to stimulate the growth and

82:52

Speaker A

development of the channel. It turned out to be an interesting endeavor, an interesting project that is not at all burdensome. And before I started any public activity, I used to ask myself: "Why would I even need this?" I mean,

83:16

Speaker A

what interesting or useful things could I possibly say, or would it become an unnecessary burden for me? Or that it would require too much time, and so on, and so on, and so on. In the end, it turned out that none of those fears

83:37

Speaker A

were justified. And it's just a very pleasant, interesting, side activity. Which YouTubers would you recommend for additional learning and gaining experience? If such experience can be considered relevant, or do all these attempts to learn from others and trade

84:17

Speaker A

based on their knowledge likely end in failure, if you know what I mean? I know that the best experience is your own, your personal screen time, but I would still like to hear your thoughts on this. Uh, no, of course, you should.

84:34

Speaker A

You should, and I have personally advised many times that if you have access to the live trading of an experienced, profitable trader, you need to watch very carefully and closely what they do and at what moments. If they can also reasonably

84:54

Speaker A

and sensibly comment on their actions at the same time, then it's three times as valuable. To talk about the reasons for entry, how they analyze the market in the moment, how they generally look at the market, and so on. And that, of

85:10

Speaker A

course, will be useful. Another question remains open: how applicable this will be to your specific trading strategy. Right. But the fact that it is, one way or another, especially in the early stages, really useful is a fact. Right. And today, fortunately,

85:33

Speaker A

there are a huge number of channels and individual people who broadcast both their trading and their results. So choose what you like best. You can start with traders from, say, Avaga or the traders 'league. Many of the leading traders have their own

85:57

Speaker A

resources with recordings of live trading. And other professional traders from other communities and independent individuals. There are many recordings on the Octobus Trade channel, which is where I actually started my public activity. Right. So there is no point

86:20

Speaker A

in suggesting anything specific, because there are so, so many examples out there. Well, you could, for example , if you haven't watched anything like that, check out the very first old recordings of Lagunov. The very first old recordings. Borisova, Silikovana,

86:43

Speaker A

Tsvetkova, M. Lipovoy, well, basically, some top traders. You can watch old video recordings, some interviews with Dmitry Berets about his view on the profession and the market. On the Si Skype channel, as far as I recall, there were also some decent videos for

87:06

Speaker A

beginners. Um, by the way, Baga, as I remember, had a very good course. An open one, freely available on YouTube.

87:23

Speaker A

You can check that out as well. For example, Igor's old videos from the Proscalping channel are also, in principle, not bad, even though Igor himself is in a bit of a, uh, stagnation, let's say. But for starters , for beginning traders, his early

87:47

Speaker A

early recordings, maybe from the Mamba days, could be useful. Something like that. Basically, just look at the trader's background, so to speak, at how relevant and normal the data they broadcast is, that they're not some info-gypsy, not a schizoid, not a

88:07

Speaker A

lunatic, not a guy dragging pennies back and forth, that the person earns and lives off the market. If that's the case, then they are worth watching and listening to. You absolutely do not need to try to copy them, because due

88:21

Speaker A

to your temperament, it might simply not suit you. But as someone else's experience, as a way to look at the market and find your own personal grounds for your trading system, it is fully, fully, fully possible and necessary to do. Oh, another winner in

88:45

Speaker A

our chat. Glad, glad. What is the main goal in my life? Well, now we are touching upon fundamental, value-based, and ethical questions. That's a bit heavy, I think, for a huge mass of our viewers and not very appropriate. But

89:18

Speaker A

if if you want to get a rough idea of these values, views, dialogues of mine, and so on, then you can start with literature on Epicureanism. Yeah. Or late Stoicism. Actually, which absorbed a lot from Greek Hellenistic hedonism.

90:04

Speaker A

No, I'm not familiar with Albert Safin, but of course, the name sounds pompous, tough. Like, it's hard not to believe a guy named Albert. Well, if you're saying it would be interesting to see our podcast, then I'm always up for a

90:27

Speaker A

high-quality, interesting dialogue. If there is such a desire or intention, I would do it with pleasure. The guy wants me to talk about some article, apparently. Imagine you became the president of the country. What would be your first decree? I would bring back

91:06

Speaker A

direct elections for mayors and governors. That is the first thing I would do. The second is the lustration of most judges in the country. That is a gradual, gradual process, but it needs to be done. Something like that.

91:27

Speaker A

I am not speaking on behalf of any specific country. Country N, just some random country. Two first steps that I would take. Yes, that’s Baga Isakov.

91:44

Speaker A

I am talking about Baga Isakov. Yes, Baga himself is a cool guy. M For a long period, there was a sense of emotional pressure while trading.

92:21

Speaker A

Everything ended in a wipeout, especially after doubling or tripling the deposit. Today, the emotional pressure has significantly decreased, and there is a feeling that the process is uninteresting due to the lack of emotional involvement. Is this a sign

92:39

Speaker A

that this is precisely the period when one should trade intensely, now that there are fewer emotions and more knowledge? Well, first of all, it’s a natural process. Yes, this is, once again, returning to the question of craftsmanship—there is a period of

92:56

Speaker A

engagement, there is a period of exaltation, meaning an enthusiastic, admiring attitude toward the profession when you are succeeding, or succeeding a little, or have just started to succeed, right? That is, you see the perspective, you see the potential, and

93:16

Speaker A

you have euphoria from passing some kind of selection process, right? So, if we are talking about a very, very competitive environment, like trading, for instance, then after that, a stage of emotional cooling inevitably follows . This is, well, just the norm. There

93:40

Speaker A

you go. And there is no recommendation here; there can't be a recommendation to trade more or less. You must have your own motivation. Why are you doing what you are doing? Why must you become a trader, you know, earn money through

93:53

Speaker A

trading? Why do you even need this? Why are you here? The answers to these questions form long-term motivation.

94:01

Speaker A

This long-term motivation determines, well, your work capacity and your engagement. If you are experiencing not just a state of boredom, but actual discomfort from being at the terminal, from having to sit for hours in a chair , analyzing something, communicating

94:24

Speaker A

with someone, clicking on things, dealing with numbers, and feeling constant stress, then if this started recently, it is absolutely necessary to take a break. A significant break, to rest, allowing your psyche and emotional state to recover. Very important. Well, I generally hold the

94:52

Speaker A

position that, ideally, you shouldn't be subscribed to traders, especially those who actively showcase their PNL, meaning profit in trades, certain situations they managed to work through when others didn't, and all that sort of thing, because it doesn't offer any

95:15

Speaker A

real utility. That's it. I mean, especially when it's just a screenshot of some trade without any explanation of the reasons, no commentary, no context, yeah, just a trade and that's it. That only fuels FOMO, feeds the feeling of being inactive, yeah, it's

95:34

Speaker A

all just completely useless. It creates a sense of losing in some kind of race, in some kind of competition. Although, as we all remember perfectly well, there is no competition and there is no race at all. You're alone here, really,

95:53

Speaker A

and you're here for your own goals and motivation. Thanks to that. Returning to the question, it's unlikely that there will ever be a time when there are no emotions at all. The fact that you have more knowledge is just the

96:18

Speaker A

natural result of learning and gaining experience. If you aren't feeling burned out and experiencing some destructive impact from this chronic stress, then all you need to do is focus on doing your job as well as possible. And that's it. Regardless of

96:38

Speaker A

whether your involvement is lower or higher, you must have goals. Like, why are you here? Well. I understand you're new to media, but who were you telling all this to before? It feels like this is your thing. Well, at least for now.

97:07

Speaker A

I walked down the street, just approached people and said, "Hey, have you heard anything about partial position sizing and risk management?" And that was it, they chased me off. I just went to other people. I just kept walking, kept going until I, uh,

97:28

Speaker A

discovered Telegram channels. That's it . Do I meditate besides my affirmations before trading? If so, how exactly? How does it technically happen? It's a very interesting practice. I meditate in rare cases when I specifically feel a build-up of this state, a heaviness on

97:58

Speaker A

the psyche from unnecessary background noise, unnecessary clutter. If I can't sublimate it through the usual means— as I've mentioned before, physical exercise, walks, distractions, and so on—then I start actively practicing meditation, the goal of which is to eliminate thoughts and noise in my head

98:23

Speaker A

. It’s the pursuit of an absolute mental vacuum. It is extremely difficult to achieve. And the first few dozen times, you most likely won't be able to do it even for a moment. That's not a problem, because any meditation

98:46

Speaker A

of this kind will have a productive effect on the psyche and emotional state. It's important to meditate for at least 10 minutes, preferably about 20. Well. And concentrate specifically on this task of eliminating thoughts.

99:04

Speaker A

Kind of a, uh, mental, emotional vacuum . Technically, it happens in the following way. Uh, for me, it's important to create sensory deprivation . That is, I have noise-canceling headphones. I have this method, uh, where you take a towel soaked in cold,

99:23

Speaker A

icy water, put it over your eyes, so I’m in total darkness, with no surrounding noise sources. And in that state, essentially, I meditate. Yeah.

99:41

Speaker A

It’s probably good that I didn't have to resort to meditative practices all that often this year, since, in general , everything is more or less stable in that regard. Yeah. That’s how it is.

99:56

Speaker A

Right. It turns out meditation is a consequence of a cause, such as an unstable state at a given moment.

100:14

Speaker A

Meditation is a desire. A desire related to getting rid of the unnecessary. In this case, it’s the accumulated negative psycho-emotional background. That's all. So, it’s an effective way to stop exactly that accumulated stress—not what's happening in the moment due to some

100:38

Speaker A

trigger, but just the background stuff that piles up and piles up as inner tension. To release that inner tension, a number of things help, including this kind of meditation. Yeah. Well, look, guys, in principle, we’ve covered everything and finished. If you want to

101:06

Speaker A

chat live, we can have a chat, set up something like that for a bit. Ah, no, I haven’t used white noise while trading. Honestly, I don’t think it makes much sense right now. Do I plan to trade live on air? Well, that’s a

101:39

Speaker A

complicated question, because it’s also why I don't...well, I don’t demonstrate PNL and all that stuff, it might encourage people to just blindly repeat what you do, and that inevitably brings risks for these people, right?

101:58

Speaker A

And I, well, my goal is a bit different , yeah. My goal is to help a person, as much as possible, to learn how to do it themselves so they can succeed, rather than just blindly copying. And if you

102:13

Speaker A

trade live, inevitably the people watching, at least some of them, will definitely try to copy it. And that could end very badly for them. That’s why my attitude toward live trading is a bit...well, I’m not planning on it

102:37

Speaker A

for now, at least until I find a way to avoid that kind of imitation or copying . Yeah. It doesn’t make sense, it really doesn’t make sense what the deposit size is, since the trades are happening live. It’s not about the

103:03

Speaker A

deposit, it’s about the fact that people are going to copy them. Uh, well , let's say I understand, yes, that the situation I’m trading, it will end in profit for me in seventy percent of cases, and in a loss in thirty. But I

103:16

Speaker A

understand that if the situation turns against me, I will close it. Everything is fine. I mean, it's a regular loss, nothing to worry about. But another person, they might make a different decision. That will be on their conscience and all that. That’s clear

103:30

Speaker A

. Uh, but this could ultimately still lead to some long-term consequences that aren't very pleasant. I’d have to spend two hours explaining everything all over again, breaking it down. I just don’t want to deal with that. I think that in principle, what I

103:52

Speaker A

already show and say, the examples I provide, the trade breakdowns, and everything else, already demonstrates clearly enough everything that’s necessary. Maybe someday, with like, I don't know, 1,000 or 5,000 bucks, something like that, I might mess around with it. But again, if the

104:17

Speaker A

market is active, what’s the point of sitting on a live stream? If it’s not active, then well, we’ll just sit there mindlessly staring at the terminal. Also not very interesting.

104:28

Speaker A

Not really clear why. to do what people want. Alright then, that’s it. I think it’s time to wrap up our New Year’s get-together. It was very pleasant and interesting to conduct this experimental stream this time. I hope everyone who won the books reads

105:17

Speaker A

them and really enjoys them. So. M. Thanks again for being subscribed to the channel and actively participating in its life. It’s very appreciated. I hope that in the coming year, people will praise the year ahead just as often, instead of, you know,

105:42

Speaker A

complaining and worrying like they did for almost all of this year. And I wish everyone profits, to live well and prosper. And that’s probably it. See you next year.
