ICT for Dummies: How We Went From Rock Bottom to Profitable Trading

what the [ __ ] is up guys Welcome to our first ever official YouTube video if you don't know who we are we are PB trading

I'm Patrick I'm Blake and that's what PB trading is maybe you know us from the skits online or maybe you know us from

the Discord uh we have a trading Discord and we also make comedy videos on the internet if you find those videos funny

it's probably cuz you related to them once and we all been there we've all full ported accounts before we've all

blown [ __ ] 100 accounts we all we all started at rock bottom but we want to get more serious here want to give you

guys guys essentially an ICT for dummies series which is all you will ever need to achieve profitability I guarantee you

guys if you just watch this from the start to the finish this is literally going to be all you need scrap

everything that you ever have learned or seen in any YouTube video we're going to teach it to you in a way where even your

[ __ ] grandma could learn this I mean I learned how to trade through Blake all right I was able to understand his

strategy in maybe two to 3 months and it's the most digestible thing ever it's easy when information is filtered it's

easy to understand right a huge problem just with any information online is that there's so much of it online and you

don't know what to look for you don't know what to consume that's why we're here we're here to filter this for you

and structure it in a way where it's essentially why did we just get more where where it's going to speedrun this

profitability process right and we're not saying like rushing the process or leaving out information we're just not

adding unnecessary information we're making this as efficient as possible all right and I think you guys deserve like

a little introdu uction so my name is Blake I've been trading for 4 years now I made my first $100,000 trading when I

was 19 years old how I started was pretty much Ju Just Like You guys I bet you guys searched up how to start

trading on YouTube first video I saw was this dude named Warrior trading I don't know if any of you guys have seen him

turns out he was a complete fraud he got sued by the FTC for $3.5 million and I was learning from him and that was that

was my start and I was learning basically just options you know I flipped 5K into 12K Lu yeah lucky like

complete luck dude I was not I had no no when I tell you guys I had zero clue what I was doing like zero clue like I

would remember going into this dude's like YouTube cuz he used to do like free YouTube live streams he would show you

like like the stocks that he was looking at bro I would literally be like yo what time does Market open it says like 9:30

I'm like bet so I'll just like buy the stock at 9930 open like thinking like that's what you're supposed to do bro I

worked out for a bit this kid visited me my first year in college and he just showed up decked out in Chrome and I'm

like what the [ __ ] I'm like where' you even get all this jewelry from BR you ended up selling that though yeah in in

like a matter of like a few days I had to sell all of that um yeah I ended up blowing all that money that was

basically all the money that I saved up from when I was working working at this job at uh this place called care Express

I was cleaning dishes [ __ ] 24/7 I smelled like straight bleach and [ __ ] all the the time my boss like it

everything sucked about the job and I remember like there was one night I was taking out the

trash and it was like a 5minute walk to the dumpster the trash just spilled all over me all on my back at this point I'm

like I have to put in the dumpster but there's just smoothie juice like all over my back and all on the ground so

I'm like trying to pick it up it's like 900 p.m. it was like no it was like past closing time bro it was so late and it

sucked and then my boss added me the next morning he like comes to me he's like Blake I saw you on the security cam

footage in front of everyone in front of everyone like you left all the trash out and I'm like there's nothing I could

have done brother it's like smoothie juice he's like well you got fined by this we got fined by the state or by the

city like $300 um and I'm taking it out of your check um and I'm like bro like that is literally like the $300 I made

like $300 a month like that's that's what I was making like $300 $400 a month bro that moment I was like dude [ __ ]

this job [ __ ] this like I've saved up enough money because at the end of the day I wanted to be My Own Boss I've

never want to have a boss so I saved up all that money really the first thing I started doing was searching up online

the second I got home how to start making money online smma tried that failed Drop Shipping tried that failed

like every single side hustle you could think of I was even doing [ __ ] pressure washing for um around my place

just to like get get more money I was actually doing that for a while yeah then I eventually found trading and fell

in love with it um it was really the only thing that stuck with me and shortly after that I found ICT Concepts

right so this was 6 months in and I mean ICT like it was the only thing that made sense in my head support and resistance

there's no like narrative behind it with ICT there's always like a story behind like every trade that you're taking so

it really made sense in my head and it kind of like changed the way I viewed trading and I think like that's like

really the goal we're going to explain it to you in ways that not only make sense like technically but logically as

well because that's the way Blake uh explained it for me when he was teaching me so I I mean I don't know if I

mentioned this already but Blake essentially mentored me um he's my best friend growing up for maybe the last

[ __ ] I don't know eight years eight [ __ ] years maybe more one day we were on a trip together over summer we're

just hanging out and he shows me his phone he's like yo look at this [ __ ] I just made [ __ ] ,000 I'm like what

like how did you just make $1,000 like we're post it up right now on the beach and he's just like yeah I just made a

band I'm like dude what like teach me well I didn't even say teach me I said let me copy you and I think like

everyone that's like sort of everyone's first uh instinct when they see someone like make money you just kind of want

the easy route and Blake kept it straight up with me and he was like no I'm not letting you copy me but I will

send you over every single video I've watched you can watch them learn and then I'll help you you know what I mean

but first you need to understand you need to build your foundation and I was like all right fair enough and so he

sent me hundreds thousands of [ __ ] videos I watched every single one and then I would FaceTime him every single

morning Mark could open and I'd have him there on FaceTime and he'd be be like helping me sort of go about the trades

he wouldn't just be like yo I'm in now but he'd be like yeah like this looks good this looks good and Shout Out pack

cuz he's like the only person I've had in my life that when I tell them what to do so when I was in college and I was

like making a [ __ ] ton of money obviously all my friends were like asking me like yo put me on like what

are you doing like what's the method whatever right and I would tell them like yo this is what you have to do and

I'll give them what they have to do watch these videos it's going to be a pain in the ass do this nobody nobody

went through with it Patrick like and I was like thing like yeah I'm going to send him these videos bro and like it's

going to be another story you know and eventually bro he start he just kept up with me every day and I was like [ __ ]

yeah I love this I love like teaching people and like he was obviously locked in he's smart as [ __ ] and bro it's just

like awesome having someone there side by side with you who like you trust who like you can see their success right in

front of you and it makes it feel that much more possible because I knew he was I was just like dude this kid's [ __ ]

killing it like there's no reason I can't do it having like an accountability partner like Blake or

someone something like that just to keep you motivated to keep you ambitious to keep you on track is so [ __ ] amazing

in life and we want to build that relationship with you guys through these videos like through this series um and

it's going to be [ __ ] amazing anyways I tried like a million entrepreneurial Ventures growing up I mean the idea of

obviously being independent uh letting my creativity navigate My Success was so cool to me I tried starting a clothing

brand I think that was like my biggest really Venture ever that I went through with I did it for about a year and a

half two years and it went well I saw like short-term success with it I was making decent amount of money for a bit

but but I could never figure out how to make it sustainable just wasn't there it's like such a it's it's [ __ ] hard

bro it's a lot of luck involved I also tried Drop Shipping didn't [ __ ] work I tried you know investing in crypto

early as [ __ ] I didn't know what I was doing um lost my money I took like a year off University to just only trade

and it was the best decision I ever made obviously I had a skill that I had honed and I didn't want to put it to waste

everything I tried I kind of just lost my money but that's not a bad thing like failure is inevitable and you learn

something from all those things you just need to keep trying until something [ __ ] clicks like a lot of you guys

have this horrible horrible connotation with failing and you and you tie it to worthlessness that you're not going to

get anywhere and and all this [ __ ] but you need to realize that like you're going to fail a million [ __ ] times

life is dead ass like trading what does a bullish [ __ ] move look like it's up and down but you keep getting higher

every single time that you make another low right you break that high every single [ __ ] time and you got to be

the same way with anything in life no success on on this planet is linear never will you see linear success like

you're going to [ __ ] hit these new lows your job is to never make that low lower than the one before that's all you

need to know I kind of want to like look at you guys and I want you to answer this for yourself do you [ __ ] want

this right do you actually want to succeed or are you just looking to for short-term gain are you looking for

quick money because if that's what you're looking for you're not going to make a [ __ ] dollar with trading this

isn't one of those things where like you just magically make money after two weeks it requires you putting your

[ __ ] head down and actually enjoying every second of the process whether it is [ __ ] hard whether you are not

seeing results you need to enjoy that nothing in life that is rewarding is easy take the time to sit down and ask

yourself those three questions do I really want this why do I want this and how the [ __ ] am I going to get there and

we're not here to only just make you better Traders we want to make you better people as well let's give you a

quick breakdown of what you can expect with this ICT for dummy course Blake has a list right here he's going to go over

it first off guys we're going to just do like a quick introduction to Futures and then we're going to basically just go

over every single IC concept if you are brand new like complete beginner in a trading like we are going to be helping

you with that all right so we have candlesticks we're going to go over Market structure we're going to go over

again every ICT concept so fibs liquidity for Value gaps order blocks breaker blocks CISD smt time risk

management Market maker models daily bias understanding manipulation recognizing

market conditions Judas swings we're going to go over my model which is my mechanical model that I teach every

single day in our Discord um and I'm also going to go over my discretionary model and also has over a 70% win rate

we also be going over my model which is a PDI model I mean if you're in the Discord you obviously know this model

and it's super [ __ ] easy to understand it kind of plays off Blake's mechanical model we're going to talk

about your success plan how to journal we're going to go over Prof firms and Brokers of course how to pass a prop

firm and get a payout plenty of Psych lessons this is crucial as you guys know like trading isn't just technical it's

very psychology based with this boot camp guys I want you to be fully locked in know that every single video that

we're going to be putting out here is for a [ __ ] reason it's everything that I've known and that I I need to

know to be a profitable Trader anyways guys we want you to get [ __ ] hyped because it really is possible dude it's

[ __ ] possible and it's not hard when you have the right information and the right people like [ __ ] got this [ __ ]

not hard bro like I am a I am a dumbass bro I'm telling I am a dumbass bro I'm telling you guys this [ __ ] is it's

possible there is a statistic where it is 99% of people do not make it in day trading what is that statistic based off

though it's going to be the people that don't do what they're told to do when we're telling you right now like watch

everything we going to give you homework every night do all of the homework right the people that don't make it that are

part of the 99% are most likely going to start dropping off what are 1% do they have discipline not only on the charts

which we're going to teach you how but in your day-to-day life if you're not even going to the gym every single day

I'm going to tell you this straight up or like [ __ ] making your bed or doing like the easy [ __ ] in life bro trading

is not for you I'm going to be straight up trading is not for you I'm going to tell you click off this video stop

watching this go try something else if you're watching this video and you grew up playing video games or some [ __ ] cuz

I can tell you personally I've invested thousands of hours into video games CSO rocket league and all this [ __ ] growing

up when I wanted to learn how to trade I told myself there is absolutely zero reason why I can't have that same

Devotion to a skill that's going to change my life this is not something I was going to put the waste this is

obviously a skill I wanted to be good at and I made that a promise to myself I made it a promise that with that success

I'd be able to support my friends my family travel do everything I ever [ __ ] wanted to you really just want

to teach people who actually give a [ __ ] and want to change their lives we know a lot of you probably hate the position

you are in right now that's probably why you're watching this video I [ __ ] hated the position I was in I also can't

thank enough Blake for what he taught me um we're really living our [ __ ] dream now once you learn how to make your

first $1,000 the next 10,000 comes easier and then before you know bro you got $100,000 in your bank account the

beginning is always the hardest and slowest process but if you can just sit through those [ __ ] boring chapters

comment section tell me your story it can be a short story and make a promise to yourself at the end of this say in 6

months or in 3 months this is where I'm going to be this is how my day-to-day is going to look like and if you can look
