The Reality of Trading Success
This boot camp isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. Most people watching this video right now will not finish the course. As the instructor states: "The longer this video gets and the longer this boot camp gets, the viewers are going to decrease because people are going to give up."
Key mindset truths:
- You cannot watch a free boot camp and become profitable immediately
- Screen time is the single most important factor for success
- Losses are part of the game, learning to manage them is essential
- This is a long-term commitment, not a quick fix
Why You Should Trade Futures (Not Forex or Stocks)
The entire boot camp focuses specifically on futures trading, primarily NQ (Nasdaq-100 futures) and ES (S&P 500 futures). This structured approach is a core part of the Welcome to the Trading Boot Camp: A Journey to Profitability.
| Asset | Description | |-------|------------| | NQ | Futures contract on QQQ (Nasdaq-100), the cleanest for ICT concepts | | ES | Futures contract on SPY (S&P 500) |
Why futures over Forex:
- Futures are "just so much cleaner" than Forex
- ICT concepts work noticeably better on NQ than any other market
- Stocks somewhat respect ICT concepts but don't compare to NQ's clarity
The Structure of This Boot Camp
Phase 1: Understanding Why Retail Concepts Fail
You will learn traditional retail concepts like indicators, then discover why they don't work:
- Indicators only show historical data you can already see on candlesticks
- All indicators are lagging, they cannot predict future price movement
- Most traders fail because they rely on these tools without understanding the market's actual mechanics
Phase 2: Order Flow and Market Mechanics
Instead of memorizing definitions, you'll understand the science behind orders:
- Limit orders
- Stop orders
- How these orders actually execute in the market
"You need to find a purpose in the actual market... It cannot feel like an accident."
This phase directly builds on the framework presented in the Curso Gratuito de Trading: Conceptos Clave de ICT.
The Hard Truth About Profitability
The 20% Rule
Based on historical data, less than 20% of viewers will finish this boot camp. The instructor challenges you to comment "start" at the end of this video to prove you're part of the committed minority. This reality is echoed in ICT for Dummies: How We Went From Rock Bottom to Profitable Trading, which shares a similar journey of overcoming adversity.
What Realistic Profitability Looks Like
- There are 252 trading days per year
- Making $1,000 per day on 75% of days = ~$189,000/year
- $1,000/day is very attainable once you know what you're doing
Warning Signs to Watch For
- Be skeptical of anyone posting massive P&L screenshots ($1M/day claims are often fake)
- Don't trust anyone on the internet blindly, even this instructor says "I wouldn't trust me at all"
- The instructor provides proof of profitability through live daily trading streams (not just screenshots)
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- The "3 Green Days" Trap, A few winning trades after learning a new concept creates false confidence. Without proper risk management, you'll eventually blow up your account.
- Giving Up After Initial Struggles, The instructor himself had a losing streak so bad he became scared to trade. Persistence through losses is what separates success from failure. For a more detailed look at foundational mistakes, see the Complete Beginner's Guide to Profitable Day Trading: Strategies & Platforms.
- Expecting Perfection, Even after 6 months of consistent profitability, you don't know everything. Stay humble and keep learning.
Actionable Next Steps
- Follow the daily schedule: Videos drop at 4:00 PM Eastern Time every day
- Engage with updates: Follow social media links in the description for boot camp announcements
- Don't buy any services yet: The instructor explicitly says not to purchase anything until you finish this free boot camp, you won't understand the advanced material without the basics first
- Commit to screen time: Plan to spend hours watching charts every day, not just watching videos. Understanding trends and consolidation is a critical first step; the Beginner's Guide to Price Action Trading: Trends & Consolidation Explained is an excellent companion resource for this.
"Screen time will make you profitable, that is my best financial advice."
what is going on ladies and gentlemen we are finally beginning this boot camp and I just want to say most of the amount of
people who are ever going to watch this whole boot camp are literally watching right now because slowly as historical
data shows as time goes on and on more people give up so the longer this video gets and the longer this boot camp gets
the viewers are going to decrease because people are going to give up they're going to get confused they're
not going to try to remain persist what they're trying to learn and they're going to just give up you know so
welcome um I'm probably talking to the most amount of you right now as I will the whole uh boot camp and uh I want to
say welcome my name is dodgy I I have been trading for about five years um now you're probably wondering
how do I know this guy's profitable okay if you go on my Twitter or go on my Instagram I post videos of p&l and and
executions and and everything all the time I also have live traded every single day for year and I've done it
profitably so um again I have credibility if you want to see credibility just know that I I
have I've been live traing for a year you can literally go on my YouTube streams and and you can watch on my old
streams that I used to post uh if you if you like but you're not going to understand it because you're here to
learn and I need to start going over the basics before you can understand any of my old streams so um yeah now why are
you watching this video now it's probably one thing you want to get rich you want
to not work a nine of- five you want to make your parents happy you want to do um you just you don't want you want to
you don't want to live a boring life you don't want to be a slave to the government and
um I was in that same circumstance when I was 16 I started trading I started looking up YouTube videos when I had
that thought in my head like I had that thought I didn't just come on this I didn't stumble upon trading on accident
I literally had that thought in my head I'm like there's no way I'm working for a like there's no way I'm working for
the government I mean there's just no way and the one thing about me is I never said I could like there was never
a thought that was like yeah I can't do this never okay this is the only option for me there was never that thought and
I just want to say if you're not here for the reason of you want to you again be honest we all want more money okay if
you're not here for the reason that you want more money want to live a better life then please leave because you will
not be motivated to learn trading if if if this is just going to be some like oh I'll try this for a little bit see how
it goes okay it's not going to work because you're not going to have the motivation to understand what I'm going
to try to teach okay um so again I want to reinforce the idea that the most amount of people watching
are going to be right now and it's going to slowly slowly decrease and that's okay because some people are not going
to like the things I say some people going to be like oh it's 21 year old how do you know he's profitable whatever
okay I've been doing this for five years I live tra every day I've got a lot of lot of screenshots a lot of proof um and
again I'm doing this all for free anyways it's not like you're paying me so who cares if I'm not profitable which
I am and again most things that most people who upload boot camps or whatever they're all like $55,000 and this is
going to be completely free so um again hopefully that's hopefully I'm being nice enough already so a little bit of
what I'm going to talk about and and kind of how I'm structuring this course is this you're going to you're going to
see me Teach things that you should not you should know but you should not use and it's going to be all like retail
Concepts such as um like like indicators whatever and I'm going to show you why you should not use them and I'm going to
slowly transition in the stuff you should be using because I feel like when I started I would not have done as well
now if I didn't ever go through the process of oh here's what an indicator is here's what a buy and sell bot is
maybe this will make me profitable I don't think I would have been as good because I never understood why those
never worked until I learned ICT so I think so I'm I'm structuring the course where you guys should learn about that
first um and I'm going to slowly mention in the video be like well this is why this indicator is bad this is why it's
not going to work because a lot of people wonder who are coming to trading they're like well why indicators is bad
people say that but they don't know why and I'm going to show you exactly why it's just not how the market moves and
it's as simple as that it's really just a historic it just shows historical data that you can already see through
candlesticks okay it is all lagging and it will not help you it's why so many people fail and I'm going to transition
and to teach you how and why those fail and how to trade better without those okay so um it's going to start a little
slow first it's going to be very basic stuff I'm going to be going over limit ORD stop orders I'm going to be going
over the science behind orders not just here's what a stop order is I'm going to be going over how a stop order works and
really the science behind it it's not going to be it's not going to be like here's what a stop order is definition
and then next next topic it's not gonna be like that okay you need to understand this inside and out okay inside and
out or else you're not going to understand how to trade you can't just come to the market and be
like um you can't just come to the market let me move my face real quick you can't come to the market and be like
oh there's a the indicator is telling us to sell here so I'm just going to sell with no purpose you need to find a
purpose in the actual Market you need to find a purpose and know okay here's where the Market's going to go here's
why the Market's going to go here and it cannot feel like an accident it has to feel like okay I actually meant
to do this I actually know that the Markus should do this and it's not me just buying off a random line okay so
again some of you watching this probably don't even know what these things are these are candlesticks and again next
I'll be going over that obviously but again this video this boot camp is going to be very good again
why why would you be watching this video if you don't want a better life like we all want a better life we only have
about 60 to 100 years to live um knock on wood okay um and I just I don't understand why people
why people want to work for the government I don't understand why do people want to work in 95 I don't get it
if you want your way out of the Matrix of whatever you call it and I'm not trying to sound like Andrew T right now
trading is going to be one of the few things that can possibly make it work there's 252 trading days in a year if
you make $1,000 75% of those days you're going to make about2 200,000 per year and
$1,000 once you know what you're doing per day is is very attainable okay now you probably see people on Instagram and
YouTube making like oh a million dollars a day let me tell you half of those are fake um there are people who do that but
why would you be I mean here's the thing why would you be posting that a
million dollar day trades and um trying to sell something I don't post
pnl and I'm doing this all for free so I'm not really in the same position but some people they're just it's so obvious
it's fake and just um I've been telling a lot of people lately don't trust anyone on the internet take what you
will with this free boot camp um I'm just a 21y old I've been doing this for 5 years ago um you know take what you
want from this boot camp you don't have to trust everything I say you don't have to trust me at all I wouldn't trust me
at all I wouldn't trust anyone you see in the internet at all I don't even know who to trust on the internet I don't
know like all all these guys that post these YouTube videos I don't even trust any of them I've heard and seen some bad
things and just scam so many scams of people like saying oh this is are unprofitable whatever and they're just
they're just not now I do this live so um I'm again I'm I'm completely in a different boat I'm very transparent I do
this live every day for people um and again I do have a service do not buy it do not buy it because you need to
understand this boot camp even if you want to okay you're not going to understand anything in my service if you
don't buy it uh or I live trade every day you're gonna I'm GNA say some random long word and you're going to be like
what is you talking about so um again this boot camp is going to be free and then after you can decide what you want
to do do whether you want to watch more videos but I'm going to try to make this as complete as
possible and hopefully by the end of this boot camp you're going to have a better
understanding let me tell you the real thing let me tell you something that's very very real now I know your mindset
is you're going into these videos thinking oh I'm going to watch this and become
profitable absolutely not that is not how trading works you need screen time in everything you do whether it be game
whether it be whatever like I've been playing like if I play game on my phone or let's say you're working I I Ed this
example before let's say you're at a new job let's say you're working at McDonald's which that's our goal not to
work at McDonald's after this boot camp okay first day you're working someone someone goes up to you and they're like
hey can you fix this machine or something and you're like I have no idea what like what do you mean like what do
I do maybe you don't even understand what they're talking about or understanding what they're trying to get
you to fix but a year goes by you're like well yeah yeah I can do it takes you 2 minutes same thing in trading you
can't just automatically Master the market after watching this boot camp okay and and so many people if that's
your mindset you're not going to make it because you're going to think oh I'm going to be way better after the spoon
camp and one of the biggest things I see is people watch my videos which the videos I already do now are pretty
Advanced um so this is going to be going back to the basics the thing that I see the most is people watch my videos and
they're like oh my God this is great and they have like a couple green days and they DM me they're like hey Ryan they're
like I've had not I've not had a losing trade in like three days and I'm like nice that's good for you you will I'm
not going to tell them that though you will because you're not going to you're not going to know how to manage a risk
you're going to blow it all up you're going to do some something really stupid and yeah it's going to work out for a
little while but if you can't take those red days after after you learn stuff like this you're not going to make it
it's just simp simple as that and that's something I really need to learn the hard way needed to take a lot of losses
I literally had a losing trauma like I could not I was scared to trade because I kept I always lost when I first
started and I I just couldn't take a trade um now I hate losing but it it's sucks it's part of the game but you have
to lose and again like I said um the the thing that people probably mess up the most is they watch the boot camp they
watch the videos and they're like oh this is great and then they give up and that's just what it is so in this boot
camp um I'm going to Main be going over Futures and again every every teaching will be based off of
futures um and again for anyone coming from Forex or who wants to get into Forex I really strongly suggest get into
Futures even uh like my mentor ICT he said it himself Futures is just so much cleaner like Forex used to be cleaner
but it is just not anymore um Futures especially NQ um which I'll be teaching what this is okay you probably don't
even know what this is yeah some of you um are just way cleaner and um yeah
so it's all going to be based off Futures Futures are the cleanest they're going to be the best uh they're going to
be the best to trade ICT on now people wonder does ICT work on stocks um somewhat like again if I pull up what
I'm trying to teach if I pull up a Tesla chart okay and I just go to the 4 Hour you will see some evidence of this
working I mean a great example was uh Christmas time UPS um had a really nice long setup and uh I I went long at UPS
and it was just super nice and it does somewhat respect IC Concepts but stocks anything else will not compare to how
clean NQ is and this is what you should mainly be trading okay if you don't understand what this is this is
basically um this is QQQ and then there's also es which is going to be spy so that's what we're going to be going
over in this boot camp um it's going to be the best um I remember when I first I one time I
tweeted uh back when I barely did any following I I said I didn't know what was going on in the market I mean I
traded some stocks and one day I saw people just trading SPY and I'm like I I made a tweet I'm like is there only
people who literally just trade spy every day and I don't understand people did that and I got it got like 300 400
likes it was the first tweet that ever kind of got a lot of likes of of mine and um everyone was saying yeah that's
all I trade blah I'm like and they're like well because I've traded it for 2 years I know how it trades I know how it
works and you need that screen time to understand that and I've literally traded NQ for the past two years I've
traded es for the past three years um and like I said before if you don't get that screen time in you will give up you
you cannot expect to watch a free boot camp and be profit right after and every single marketing Guru whatever who is
selling you these free boot camps whatever they're not saying that they're going to tell tell you oh this is going
to make you profitable it's not okay your screen time will after you learn what you learned from this boot camp
screen time will make you profitable okay that is my best financial advice my best non-financial advice I could give
you and uh that's just how it's going to be and that's how it works it's same thing with anything you do anything you
play as maybe it's a video game right maybe you're playing Call of Duty and you don't know all the Peaks you don't
know all the maps you you only learn the maps and you only know these secret shortcuts and
and pass and maths after playing so long okay you need to play a lot just like in the market you're only going to see
signature and repetition of of speed and movement and and everything you want to see in NQ that you've maybe seen before
you need to see it a lot on NQ okay or in anything you trade and you can't just go in and watch this boot camp in two
weeks which it will not it's going to be uploaded across the course of the next month or two you can just go in and
expect to just get master at all and one of the biggest things with me is I thought I mastered this in 6 months uh I
dm' someone like hey man I I haven't had a losing day in 3 weeks this is amazing like I am so good at ICT and he tweeted
he uh he responded to me he's like that's good man but you're sounding cocky you definitely don't know
everything yet and he was right um as I later found out so just know that you have to be in this for the long run this
is not a get rich Qui quick scheme um and yeah other than that that I hope you guys enjoy the boot camp this is
going to be the first video it's all going to be under a single playlist and if you want to keep updated with any
of my trades anything that I do make sure to follow my socials the link links inent in the description now you're
probably not going to understand some of them and that's okay um but yeah make sure to follow my
socials okay because you're going to be caught up with I might tweet or say something about the Boot Camp or updates
or anything so um yeah that's it for now I hope you guys enjoy now for the 10 20% of you who made it to the end of this
video which I doubt I don't even think 50% of people who start watching this video probably made it to the end um
this is going to be the only video I actually do this but comment the word start because I want to see how many
people from start to finish actually watch the whole uh boot camp again I like I said I think it's going to be
less than 20% I have my bets in and the other 80% you're going to give up you're going to be working for the government
and I I wish you the best the rest of your life and um you know don't forget me because I know you're not going to be
having fun so that's it for now I'll see you guys later and we will be back with another video tomorrow and I just want
to say every single day I think I'm going to schedule these videos for 400 PM eastern time so stay tuned for video
every single day at 4 P p.m. eastern time without further Ado I'll see you guys later and peace out
The boot camp's goal is not to provide get-rich-quick schemes, but to build a sustainable skill set in futures trading through deep understanding of market mechanics and screen time. It is suitable for beginners willing to commit to long-term learning, as the instructor warns that most viewers won't finish the course and profitability requires persistence.
Futures markets, especially NQ (Nasdaq-100) and ES (S&P 500), are cleaner and more responsive to ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts than Forex or stocks. These instruments show clearer order flow and price action, making technical analysis more reliable and reducing the noise typically found in other markets.
The boot camp has two phases: Phase 1 explains why traditional retail concepts like lagging indicators fail because they only show historical data, not future predictions. Phase 2 focuses on market mechanics, teaching how limit and stop orders create actual order flow, helping you understand why price moves rather than just reacting to patterns.
Based on historical viewer data, less than 20% of participants will complete the boot camp, representing the committed minority. This rule highlights that persistence and finishing the course are essential for profitability; the instructor challenges you to comment 'start' to signal your commitment to overcoming the initial learning curve.
With 252 trading days per year, earning $1,000 on 75% of days yields approximately $189,000 annually, a target the instructor considers attainable with proven skill. This requires consistent screen time, effective risk management, and understanding that losses are part of the process, not a sign of failure.
Avoid the '3 Green Days Trap' where a few initial wins create false confidence without proper risk management, leading to account loss. Also resist giving up after setbacks, as even the instructor endured a losing streak that tested his resolve, and never expect perfection—continue learning even after months of profitability.
Follow daily videos at 4:00 PM Eastern Time, engage with updates via social media, and avoid purchasing any paid services until completing this free boot camp. Most importantly, commit to daily screen time watching live charts, as the instructor's best advice is that screen time, not shortcuts, will make you profitable.
