0:00 I could not learn trading on my own. It's been five years I've been on this journey. I've made money. I've lost money. I've gotten funded. I've lost funded accounts. I've been able to grow small accounts. I've been able to make some money. I've been able to lose a lot of money. I'm here to tell you that I could not do trading on my own. I just couldn't. So, I had to find the best way possible to learn this skill set and learn it the right way and learn it in a way that will allow me to confidently come to the market the way I am now and be able to consistently make money from the market. Thousand plus dollar weeks are normal for me. Now, how did I get to this point? Well, I couldn't do it on my own. I could not learn this on my own.
0:45 There is a way though that I did learn it and I want to share that with you today. I'm going to give you the key and this ain't just for this is for anything you want out of life. I'm going to share it to you right here. So, I got my Bible. I got my Bible and if you want to follow along with me, I'm in Proverbs chapter 2, the beginning of chapter 2. And whenever I just want to give you a backdrop real quick. Whenever I'm trying to navigate something in life, whether it's trading, whether it's something else. If I really want to succeed in it, I follow God's way of learning it. How God says to obtain his wisdom, how God outlines in the Bible to obtain his blessings and his knowledge and his
1:30 understanding. I literally take that blueprint that he outlined in the Bible and I literally just use it for natural things. And when I really got to the point where it was like a breaking moment with trading where I was like, yo, and at the beginning of 2024, I was like, this has to be the year where I figure out my one way of trading unless I got to stop. And when I made that decision and got serious, y'all, I went to the word and God gave me the blueprint. He gave me the blueprint for learning Forex. I couldn't do it on my own, but he gave it to me. And in this video, I'm going to give it to you right now in Proverbs chapter 2. I want you to listen to me and then I'm going to explain this for you. This is powerful. And somebody right now, you're watching this and you can feel you like you're getting goosebumps. And for those that
2:17 know, it's the like you can feel the Holy Spirit really moving you right now. So, in the first verse of this chapter, I'm in Proverbs chapter 2, by the way. It says, "My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, if you receive my words and you treasure up my commandments with you, the first thing I had to learn when I wanted to learn and use God's blueprint for learning in Forex, I had to first find someone that I trusted. someone that I and not someone that necessarily is flaunting money, that's showing the cars, that's showing me the life I want to live. I needed to find a person that I trusted, somebody that I
3:04 knew would give me solid information. Okay? And that's what you need to do. Who can who do you know? Who have you been following on this trading journey where they may not have all the money, but you know and you can feel it in your spirit. You can discern that this is an honest person. This is somebody that that walks with integrity that honors the word that the words that come out of their mouth. Who is somebody like that that you see? They're trading. They're doing good for themselves. Again, this person may or may not be rich. They may or may not have quit their job. They may or may not be in a position where
3:50 they're driving the car that you want to drive. But I'm telling you the blueprint in God's word of how to learn something that you're struggling with that you can't get on your own. You're so busy running after the people that's showing you the life that you want. Them people ain't walking in integrity. And that's why you ain't getting what you want because you're following behind somebody because of the results, but you're not following behind the person that has integrity with the results. And that's a big thing right there. So this is the first thing I had to understand, right? I need to first find somebody in which I can receive their words. And in order for me to receive their words, they have to be somebody I trust. So this verse says, "If you receive my words and treasure up
4:36 my commandments with you, making attentive your ear to wisdom." I cannot receive the words of a person that I don't trust. I cannot store up the words or the commandments, the rules that a person is telling me if I don't trust them. Okay? And I definitely can't keep the things that they tell me or make my ear attentive or want to continue to consume the things they're saying if I don't trust them. I can't do it. There's going to be a conflict there. If I know deep inside that I don't trust somebody, how in the world can I value what they're telling me? I can't. So the first thing is if you are following people and the
5:25 only reason you're listening to them, the only reason you're following them is because you see them making money and you just want to make that money, but you know deep inside that you you half believe everything they say or you question everything they're doing it like that ain't the place for you. And I'm here to tell you that right now that ain't the place for you. So that's the first thing I had to do. I had to find sources. And for me, these sources came through books. I read different books on market structure. I read books on Elliot wave. I read books on divergence. Jim uh Jim, what's my guy's name? I forgot his last name. Jim Brown. Jim Brown has a book on RSIs and trading with divergence and um trading with MT4, MT5. I brought
6:10 a few books from him. I read the book on Elliot waves. Um, I read uh books on Fibonacci. I read books on market structure. I read books on uh candlesticks. That's where I found some of my my truth from from these books. These are people that are veterans in the game and I found truth in the things that they have wrote about and researched and used. All right. Also, there were a collective of mentors and people along the way who I've gotten gems from, just small little nuggets from, and I had to go and put in the work and tie those things together. But in these specific gyms, in these specific areas that they share things with me, I trusted that person enough to
6:59 take what they said in these specific areas. All right, this is key, y'all. Let's keep going. The next thing I drew from this, it says, "Inclining your heart to understanding." Yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. So now, if you are attentive and you are inclining your heart to understanding, what do I mean by that? inclining your heart to understanding. You're opening your heart to receive something now that is new information that may contradict the old trading information that you were taught
7:44 before. It may directly contradict it, but you now got to open up your heart to receive what it is you're getting. You you you have to open up your heart to receive what your ear is now being attentive to. Are you willing to do that? Some people, and I've been there before, right? You get a mentor, you go through courses, and you're just trying to see, okay, what can I take from this to add it to what I'm already doing? You're not opening up your heart. You're not Yeah, you're listening, but you're not opening up your heart to receive it now. You're still trying to keep doing what you've been doing that ain't working, which is why you're in this place what you're in now, because what you're doing ain't working. So, you got to get some new information, but you got to be willing
8:31 to do everything. You can't just stay and say, "Okay, I'm going to be attentive. I'mma listen, but I ain't opening up my heart to receive it." No, no, no, no, no. You got to do it all. Okay, then we come to the next part. If you call out for insight, okay? Yes. If you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. Now, I do want to remind you this is God's blueprint to getting the wisdom of God, getting the knowledge and understanding of God. And what I'm sharing with you and what I would would would uh present to you today is how to use God's way in trading. Okay. So now that we come to
9:18 the second part, yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding in this part, it's like yo, if you're there and you're learning, you trust this person, okay? You trusting them to receive from them. You're attentive to what they're saying. You're open up your heart to receive the information even if it contradicts what you've already learned. Now, it's not just sitting in the group, sitting in the Discord, sitting in the Telegram. You got the course, going through the videos, you receiving the stuff. Now, you got to make like listen, open up your mouth. It says, it says right here, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, open your mouth, ask
10:05 questions. If your mentor is doing live calls, which they should, I don't recommend you join no course that does that's not doing live calls, right? Or book a one-on-one session. I'm sure your mentor has a one-on-one session you can book. Open your mouth, ask questions. When you get on those calls, make your voice heard. It then goes to say, "If you seek it like silver and search for it as for a hidden treasure," can you picture a pirate out there searching for treasure? Can you picture those people that be at the beach with those metal detectors looking for lost coins and lost jewelry and stuff? If you can picture them in your mind right now, they're relentless in their pursuit. Relentless in their pursuit for what it is they're looking for. You got to be
10:50 relentless when you going after training. You got to be going after your mentor. You got to be asking questions. Every time they every time they drop a Zoom link for a call, you should be the first person ready to ask questions. You're you got to pursue relentlessly. And let's go even deeper than that. Even in your private time, just by going through the courses, just by learning the material, you got to go deeper. You got to start back testing. You got to start forward testing. You got to watch the videos over and over again searching for those hidden gems as if it was hidden treasure. Relentless pursuit. So many people and I've been there before. So many people I've like I've done it before. That's how I know. So many people you stop at watching the videos and trying the strategy one time and you just boom, you think, "Oh man, I got it. I'm there. Bet. I got it." No. If it's
11:37 worth having, I'm giving you the blueprint based on the word of God. If it's worth having, you got to pursue it like silver. You got to run after it like it's hidden treasure. You got to call out. You got a mentor, you got to call out. Get your questions answered. Make no question is a dumb answer. Excuse me. No question is a dumb question. It deserves an answer. This is what I had to do. I had to say, I'mma approach this thing from God's perspective. And in my case, if you want to know, I didn't have like my mentor passed away. My first mentor, he passed away last year. I would share things with him, you know, before he passed. But last year, I made a decision to lock in. He passed away last year. So, I had to relentlessly go
12:25 through my notes, go through past trades, and I had to seek for the knowledge that I got now as if I was searching for silver and hidden treasure. I had to put in that work in the charts, going through my notes, studying old prop firm accounts that I had, looking for my best trade setups. I had to do all that work, y'all. All of that to build my trading system. Now, when you do those things, you get the result that you're searching for. If your way of learning ain't working and this is how it this like I can't tell you how fast it's going to happen, but I can tell you what I did. Number one, find somebody. You got to find somebody you trust. And you got to trust them more than you see results. Now, of course, they need to be trading. They need to know what they're doing. They got to have a proven
13:11 way of trading. I ain't telling you just go after somebody cuz, oh, they trustworthy. No, no. They got to have a a a a proven plan of trading that works. They got to be making money now. They got to be making money. But you got to trust them. Okay? You got to trust them more than the money that they're making. Once you trust them, you can then believe what they say. You can then make your ears attentive to what they're telling you. You can then open up your heart to understand what they're telling you, even if it contradicts what you already know. And then once that's done and you're
13:56 learning and you're brought in, you've been sold on this person and you've brought into the process. Now you got to open your mouth. You got to ask for help. You got to ask for understanding. You got to get your money's worth. And you also got to do the work. That person is not going to do the work for you. They they should answer your questions. They should break it down and explain it. But you got to start digging. You got to search as if you're, the scripture says it right here. If you seek like silver and search for it as hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and you'll find the knowledge of God. You'll find what you're searching for if you search for it as hidden treasure. This is what I did, y'all.
14:44 When I made the decision to lock in with Market Structure in 2024, this is what I did. and it changed the game for me. If your way of learning ain't working, try God's way. That's what I did. That's what I did. That's what I did. I'm not saying you can't learn from YouTube. But you're going to need to get access to the person that's teaching you. And I doubt that a person pro that's posting a strategy on YouTube is going to take the time to answer all of your questions in depth inside of a comment section. So you're not paying for in for information. You're paying for that person to walk with you on that journey and make it easier for you and
15:31 assist you on there by being able to answer your questions, by being able to show you live examples, by being able to direct you, redirect you when you do something wrong. So all of this stuff about I don't sell a course and I don't do anything like that. I'm just here to give you information. I don't pay for information. I pay for your assistance. I pay for you to walk with me. I pay for you to make my journey easier so I don't have to keep bumping my head because I'm doing the wrong things, but I got nobody out there to help correct me. And so, so when you're out there and you're learning just from YouTube videos or you're learning just from free information, it's like, but where's the extra assistance that will be needed? Cuz information without guidance is
16:18 nothing, y'all. So, this is what I learned and this is what helped me and I'm just giving it to you how I received it and it worked for me. So, God bless you. Take care and I'm going to get my day started. But I holl at y'all later. If you're interested in Calvin's VIP trading group, that is my personal community where I hands on work with and teach everything that I do in my trading plan and my trading process. The link is in the description for that. God bless you. Take care. Stay tuned into the channel for more inspiration and more motivation and more things that changed the game for me that made me turn into confident that made me start being able to generate money consistently. No, I'm still not making no five figures in a day and no crazy amounts of money like
17:05 that. I'm not there yet. I'm working toward it and it's coming. But $1,000 weeks have become normal. Thousand plus dollar weeks have become normal across my accounts. It's become normal for me. And that's a great step in the right direction cuz before I was making, you know, good money trading, but the consistency wasn't there. Some months I hit, some months I don't. Now the consistency is there. And to God be the glory. So God bless you. Take care. I look forward to running into you at the bank one day, but you cannot meet me there. You got to beat me there. When I pull up, you should already be walking out. Duffel bag on your shoulder, big smile on your face. That's my way of saying I believe we all will be successful. God bless you. Take care and uh stay encouraged and stay happy, man. It's too much sadness going on. Stay happy. God bless you. Peace.
