constantly setting myself new goals.

It does get kind of lonely sometimes.

I'm not at the point where money doesn't buy happiness.

I am at the point where I've kind of made it and it's just I feel like I've passed all the levels and I'm just bored.

So I'm just constantly strategically setting new challenges so I don't pretty much feel depressed.

Wherever you guys are watching this show, I would truly appreciate it if you follow or subscribe.

It helps a lot with with the algorithm it helps us get bigger and better guests and it helps us grow the team truly means a lot thank you guys for supporting and here's the episode ladies and gentlemen we got forex trader alex gonzalez here how's it going brother good bro thank you for having me out yeah all the way from miami yeah long trip yeah i saw you just did something with your car right yeah for christmas what we ended up doing is we put crystal slice throughout the whole whole half of the car yeah and then we did a custom mount on the roof of the Lambo so the Christmas tree could be kind of standing out.

Did the cops pull you over yet?

No, no.

Luckily they didn't.

Luckily, they didn't.

Because I'd be looking about if I'm on the highway.

Yeah, no, it was pretty crazy because it held up the majority of the time.

But as soon as I went past like 80 miles an hour, the tree flew off.

Yeah, it actually didn't fly off.

I just like stumbled down.

Oh, that's funny.

How many cars you got?

I see you on your Instagram.

You post a ton of vehicles.

Yeah, I mean, I think I have like four right now.

Four in my house, and I have another two that I, you know, just gave to like family members and stuff.

And you're only 23?

23, yeah.

Bro, that's insane.

And these cars are expensive ones, too.

Yeah, yeah.

I have like top of the line cars.

Oh my gosh.

So how were you able to amass that amount of wealth at 23?

I mean, everything I don't want to say kind of started happening recently, but I'd say in the last year and a half is where everything kind of started compounding.

You know, I've obviously been a successful trader for three years, but I didn't really start making big profits until about two years ago.

And then about a year ago is where I learned how to actually manage money and how to organize it.

Yeah.

And then I just kind of did that for a whole year without spending anything.

And I look at the bank account.

I'm like,

there's so much money.

I just have to spend it, you know know?

so even though we're in a recession right now your trades are still doing well oh yeah yeah they're better than ever wow so that means despite the market conditions you're able to figure out methods to make money yeah like day trading has nothing to do with recession because it's fully recession proof you're not involved in the market long term you're in and out whenever you want I make more money when the market goes down versus up because it's more volatile so I catch the sales down wow That's so cool, man.

And how did you first learn this?

Was it on YouTube or did you have a mentor?

Yeah, so everybody goes, you know, YouTube University, there's so much information out there on YouTube.

But I pretty much did the YouTube trial on Ever.

And so I kind of figured it out, found somebody that I kind of connected with, and I just started following the strategy, tapped with my own personal self into it.

And then it turned into why I created it today.

That's insane.

And you're in and out same day.

Usually I'm in and out for three, four days, maybe max a week.

But yeah, lately, I've been kind of in and out the same day.

And is there specific currencies you're trading?

So your USD, AUD, JPY, GU, aj i mean these are all you know the australian dollar with the japanese yen yeah it just sounds a little bit you know freaky because they're a bunch of letters

you know it looks intimidating at the beginning but it's really simple it's just one currency versus another currency yeah and are you just looking at the charts or are you looking at the news too no i never look at the news i'm mainly just a technical trader because you know prior at the end of the day news you're kind of predicting of what let's say powwow is going to come out and say with interest rates you kind of have an idea but you never really know right it's just up in the air until the guy comes out and says the news versus technical trading you actually see the charts, real price time data, where you can actually take execution based off of what the charts show you in that very second.

Yeah, a lot of people take the news super seriously and then they go all out and then, you know, I mean, that's more of a, I'd say,

I don't want to say like bank way, you get me, but it's more of like an institutional way where larger money is moved.

I'm not moving hundreds of millions of dollars within a day.

You get me?

That makes sense.

So it's for me, it's a lot easier to get in and out with the same day.

Yeah.

What's the most you made in a day?

I think it was $127,000 in one day.

But it was a, but like, I wasn't even, my goal wasn't even to make that much that day.

Right.

My goal was just to make like 50K that day, but I was in the position at one in the morning, Miami time.

Yeah.

And then there's just something called London session where London session kicks in and more volume comes into the markets at that time.

And, you know, I'm talking to my students.

I'm like, bro, should I hold?

Should I hold?

Or should I close?

And I'm like, you know what?

I'm going to stick to my strategy.

Just set and forget.

I'm just going to knock out.

And I woke up the next day and then my 50K had turned to like about 90.

And I'm tripping out.

I'm like, oh wow.

So now we're out into something because my goal has always been to get 100K.

Yeah.

So then as soon as London session ends, the New York session comes in, which is now the new volume of money moving around in the markets.

And then the price has a retracement.

I'm back down to like 30,000.

And then there, I'm like, wow, you know, I'm rethinking my whole life and everything that I did.

But I'm like, you know what?

I'm going to stick to my strategy again.

New York session came in, pushed it, and we closed for like 125.

Damn.

And how much did you risk to make that?

I think I risked about 25,000.

That's it?

Yeah.

Wow.

So in Forex, you can make 5x on your money?

Yeah, I mean, it just depends because obviously, like, I have a big account.

So I risk just a certain percentage of that account.

I don't risk, you know, I don't go all in on my account size.

I'm risking anywhere from 1% to 5% of my actual account.

Yeah, but my risk to reward ratio is extremely positive.

Yeah, that's actually super safe because when you think of Forex, you think of really risky trades, but 1 to 5% is nothing.

Nothing.

Yeah, because if you think about it overall, the long-term period, let's say you target 10%.

of my goal is 10% a month, but when you do that on a $10 million account, you're making a 10 a month.

A mill a month.

Exactly.

But people do 10% on $1,000, which they just started their account, and it's not realistic.

You're not going to become extremely successful off of $1,000 on 10%.

You know what I mean?

It's $100.

It's literally nothing.

So you have to take the same 10% approach to obviously a higher account.

Yeah.

So how much did you start with when you started?

Like everybody.

I was working on Dunkin' Donuts, so I didn't have much.

You know what I mean?

So I probably had a couple hundred bucks, maybe a couple thousand.

Double beginnings.

Yeah, yeah.

I was was where I had done that.

And you turned that into millions?

I turned it into millions at year

four.

So year up to year two, I was completely negative.

I had a loss of about like twenty thousand dollars.

Damn.

And then on year two and a half, I got funded.

There's these funding companies out there that you just showcase your skill set.

If you're good, they give you money.

And then once you pass evaluation process, they fund you money and you get a certain percentage of the profits.

Wow.

And I turned it where I made about like $28,000.

And at the time, that was a whole year worth of my expenses.

You know, left dunking Donuts.

And then I just became profitable ever since then.

Man, you really stuck through it.

Going down 20 G's, working a nine to five at Duncan.

Yeah.

And you still had conviction to be able to do it.

100%.

Yeah.

100%.

What do you think had that made you have that strong mindset?

Mainly seeing other people that were actually having the results.

And myself, I was predicting the trades, but I just wasn't able to get into them.

For some reason, I could tell, okay, you know, price is going to go from point A to point B, but I was kind of choking on the execution part because I didn't believe in myself or didn't believe in the strategy.

And then time and time again, I stopped getting so nervous and just taking the execution and risking the trade.

And, you know, over time, you become so numb to it that you just take the trade and you end up having the result.

It's like if you're getting into a fight, you get me?

Like the UFC.

You know, obviously, your first couple of times you're scared of getting punched in the face, but you know, after a while, you know how to dodge, you know how to miss the punch.

So you know where the opening is.

So you get.

Wow.

That's super cool.

So when it comes to funded accounts, how much percent gain do you need to achieve to get funding?

So some funding companies like Rocket 21, they have 8%.

When I started, it was 10%.

A month?

A month.

Yeah.

So you have to get 10% in 30 days.

And then the second step is 5% in 60 days.

But not Rocket is literally 8%.

Unlimited time, you can take as long as you want.

And then the second step is 5%.

You can take as long as you want.

So the game has gotten so much easier than to when I started.

Yeah.

And how much money do you need to be trading with to achieve 8%, 5%?

So anything, really.

You can put $1,000 of your own money

or $1,000.

You could buy a challenge.

Let's say $1,000 with a challenge, you'll get, I think it's almost 300K of money.

So I bought, when I started trading, it was a 500.

All I was willing to pose 500 bucks.

So for 500 bucks, you get $100,000 account.

What?

And then you pass it value.

That sounds insane.

But it's hard because the rules are hard.

So the rules are really hard.

So, you know, obviously the pass rate is about 10%.

Oh, that's pretty low.

So, you know, which makes sense because if someone's making money, someone has to lose.

So it can't be higher.

Exactly.

Yeah.

But at the end of the day, only the successful traders are going to make money.

Right.

So how many forest traders actually make money, you think?

I'd say realistically, because I see the numbers and I see the stats, I'd say probably four to five percent.

That's low.

But like if you think about it, four to five percent isn't low.

Because it's a world population.

Like right now, let's say how many people go into the NBA to get drafted?

Let's say 100,000 people, just to put a number.

How many people get drafted?

Only two rounds of 20, 30 each, so 60.

What percentage is that?

Yeah, it's like 1% under that.

No, way under 1%.

So the odds of you becoming a successful trader are much higher than going to any professional route.

That goes for football, basketball, soccer.

That's a good way of looking at it.

Yeah.

I never thought of it from that point of view.

Yeah.

So.

Obviously, you know, it's going to be low, but it's accessible to more people around the world.

Yeah.

Why do you think Forks gets such a bad reputation?

I say because the entry barrier is so low that it's so easy for any of these wannabe gurus just to come in and just kind of make a quick buck off of a Corselle or make a quick book off of a money management account.

And I hate it because it's bought such a bad rep to the niche that I don't even consider.

Like, like when people ask me, what do I do?

I just say I'm a day trader.

I don't even say I'm a forex trader because I just want to avoid that awkwardness.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with me.

No, for sure.

And it bothers me so much because they took advantage of the small entry barrier and they took advantage that it's such a fast way to make money that people sold it in a bunch of different ways and it just got bad reputation.

Yeah.

People automatically assume scam if you talk about it.

I don't know why.

It doesn't make any sense.

It's because of that whole TD FX winning.

Yeah.

I mean, I was part of that.

I got wrecked.

I got caught in that too.

So many of my friends did.

So that.

I mean, even before that, though, people were assuming it.

Yeah, because it was MLM, you know, the multi-level marketing, like IML or stuff like that.

They would recruit people and not even teach them how to trade.

And that's what brought the big awareness to trading and uh obviously they put people in certain platforms that didn't have the best market conditions and you know they got the the scam reputation now are you at the point now where you can still lose or are you just winning from here on out no i definitely lose i i say out of 10 trades i'll still lose four to five okay and then the ones that i win they just weigh out the losses by three four wow okay so you're still losing 40 50 easily yeah for sure

but that doesn't matter if you're making over 50%.

Not, I mean, if you think about it, I can literally have a 30% win rate, and I'm still profitable.

I can lose seven trades out of 10, and I'm still profitable.

Because let's say out of 10 trades, I'll lose seven risking 1%.

So it's just minus 7%.

But then I win three with a one to five risk to reward.

So if you think about it, I just made 5, 10, 15%.

So I just made back 7% of losses and then I made an extra 8% in

revenue.

Got it.

So, your wins are at a 5x rate.

Average, I say it's anywhere from 2.5 to 5%.

Yeah, wow.

Yeah, so that'll outweigh most of the losses.

I can literally have a 20% win rate, and I'm still profitable.

That's so cool.

And are you coaching people how to do this?

Yeah, I started recently, about a year ago.

It just kind of happened randomly because you know, you get bored as a trader, you're just home doing nothing all day.

So, I'm like, you know what, let me just start posting this stuff.

And the people just want to learn.

And, you know, I kind of brought a new wave, I think.

That's why I've grown so fast and I've gotten such a big community.

yeah because I'm just transparent I literally say like right before coming into here I'm like all right guys this is the trade this is where I want to get in and this is where I want to get out and that's it you got me so I do that every single day so your students are happy very very happy very very happy that's cool and what platform are they trading this on it's it's all the same thing meta trader so you analyze the trades on trading view that's pretty much where you look at the pairs you look at the markets where you're identifying and then you actually take execution on meta trader yeah but metatrader is let's say like a

an Exxon.

That's where you could just get gas from.

But you could go get gas from, you know, Shell or whatever.

There's other ones.

So I just personally use MetaTrader because it's what 90% of the market uses.

Yeah.

Wow.

This is so fascinating, man.

What are you spending all the money on?

Well, honestly, I've been spending a s on the money.

I've been spending a lot of money right now on cars.

Just moved into a new house.

Nice.

I bought watches.

I love watches.

I travel a lot.

Jets are very expensive.

You fly in private only?

Yeah, you can fly.

Damn, bro.

Miami to Vegas, that's like 40 G's.

Round trip will be like 45.

Yeah.

Jeez.

So you're printing money.

Sometimes.

Oh, my God.

I've been three weeks without taking a trade.

Wow.

So I haven't made it.

You're not even trading right now.

No.

I mean, just no trade presents itself.

Like, there hasn't been any trades in the house.

Oh, you are super disciplined.

Oh, very, yeah.

Very, very, very.

So that's a long ass time.

Yeah.

I think on Thursday, so three days from now, it'll be one month since I haven't taken a trade.

Is that the longest you've gone?

It is the longest I've gone.

Wow.

It's just because the more I get into trading and the more experience that I get,

the less I need to trade because I know that I'm just waiting for one good trade that can make me five, six, seven times my risk to reward.

And that's it.

That's all I need.

I mean,

think about it this way.

Think about trading like baseball.

You're just there standing in home base waiting for the ball to come.

You're not going to swing at every ball that comes.

It's just pointless.

You're going to out throw your arm and you might strike out.

I'm literally sitting in home base and I'm just waiting for that straight ball at 50 miles an hour just so I can send it out at home run.

You get me?

I don't need to waste my energy swinging at every ball that comes my way.

We are always looking for cool stories, cool entrepreneurs to talk to about business and life.

Click the application link below and here's the episode, guys.

Most people don't have that discipline, dude.

No.

They want to trade daily, like even hourly.

And I understand them, you know, I was there at one point.

It's because they need the money or they want the money right now.

Yeah.

I don't need the money right now.

Thankfully, you know, I've positioned myself to where I don't have to have it.

and I just set myself up for success with the best trades possible.

Wow, so what are you doing for just the past three weeks then?

If you're not trading, man, I made it.

I made a ton of money

like I cannot move a finger right now for the next 10 years and I can keep the latest.

Wow.

So what's that like on your mental health?

I'm constantly setting myself new goals.

So

it does get kind of lonely sometimes.

Yeah.

And, you know, that's, I'm not at the point where money doesn't buy happiness.

I'm not at that point right now because I could still buy a Bugatti and I'm sure i'll be happy but i am at the point where i've kind of made it and it's just i feel like i've passed all the levels and i'm just bored so i'm just constantly strategically setting new challenges so i don't pretty much feel depressed do you get me that was me during the crypto bull run last year dude i'd wake up make 50 100k a day and i'd feel like

i mean i'm not trying to sound like a it just feel like you know like a loss of purpose almost it's it's such a people watching this are probably like we're crazy it's such a weird it's it's so like

We won't be able to explain it.

So you would have to be able to experience it to actually understand.

Yeah.

The more we try to explain it, the more we look like assholes.

Exactly.

Yeah.

No, it's one of those things.

But

what was it like gambling with Dana White?

Dana was lit, bro.

I did not expect for him to be that cool.

You know, I'm hanging out around with Steve and stuff.

And not going to lie, the guy's a beast.

I was, because he pulled up at four in the morning.

And I was already falling asleep at the table.

He pulled up at four?

Bro, he pulled up at four in the morning.

And he pulled up at four in the morning after being up two days in a row for ufc and you know being there for the fights and then he had just lost half a mail the night before damn so steve was on a mission to turn 10k to half a mill to give to dana which he did it guys are savage and then you know dana pulled up at four in the morning and then they kept gambling i'm like dude what the is going on you know i'm like bro what's going on that is insane so steve's still gambling hello bro steve's a beast steve is uh a a monster how did he meet him um we have a bunch of mutual friends um and you know out of miami i'm always there in brickle and just mainly mutual friends nice yeah he uh he was in miami for for a few years right in that penthouse yeah that's cool and you gamble with him do you bet your own money yeah yeah i'm well i consider him i mean i consider myself a professional gambler so i'm very strategic when it comes to gambling is there certain games you won't play i'll play anything because i know at the end of the day the casino is going to win so i come in with the mindset i'm like this is what i'm ready to lose so i'm not attached to the money at all smart some people are very attached no no like i can go in with 10 20k and i'm ready to lose it i'm like i'm i'm going for the experience and to have fun yeah that's just my cost to have fun i'm not there to make money off the casino that's a good mindset man because some people are spending like their last pennies yeah whatever but i get them you know it's their only source at the end of the day and they feel like they need the money yeah and when somebody needs money and they need it now people would do really bad things to get it done have you ever won gambling in the casino i think i've been gambling for four years and i don't think there's been one night where i've left

Damn, it's that bad?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Some days you win, but I guess not when you're with Steve.

I've played Blackjack, Baccarat.

I've gone to poker games, yacht poker games.

Yeah.

You can name it.

I have never left with a dollar in my pocket.

Poker is like, at least you can, that's more skill-based.

It definitely is, but I can't.

be the guy that I win the pot and then I leave.

I feel like it's just unethical to the game.

That happened to my last poker game because I have them here and this guy doubled up and left.

See, that's so unethical.

I'll never invite him ever again.

I kick him out of the group chat.

Yeah,

everyone was pissed.

Yeah, yeah.

To me, that's super unethical.

It's like, dude, like, obviously, you know, we're all here to make money, but that's gonna.

You know what I mean?

It's just, it's just, they're just like unwritten rules that you don't do.

Yeah, you don't want to be that guy.

I'm not going to name him because he probably watches this, but we all know that one dude for sure.

Are you traveling a lot right now?

Yeah, I've been traveling a lot.

I've gone to Latin America a lot.

Went to Brazil over there with Steve.

Nice.

Spanish.

Yeah, I'm Cuban.

Nice.

My family's Cuban.

I've been to Colombia, Europe, Ibiza, Spain, London, New York.

You know, pretty much everywhere.

You've been to Uber and everybody.

Chilling it.

I love traveling.

Really?

You learn a lot about culture, life.

I agree.

The only thing I don't like is the airports and the whole time shift.

It kind of messes up.

Yeah, it really, really messes up.

Especially as a trader, that must be tough.

So confusing.

Waking up at like 2 a.m.

someplace.

Super confusing.

Super confusing.

Cause it's just, I'm not in sync with the market and I'm not in sync with time right there.

It's just super confusing.

Yeah.

How's the Cuban food in Miami?

Amazing, bro.

I heard it's good.

I love it.

I love it.

I love it.

I tried it once, actually.

It was really good.

Where'd you try it at?

I forgot the name.

If you said it, I was in Brickle.

Oh, like La Carreta?

Might have been.

Versace.

I don't remember.

It was a few years ago.

Nice.

But is that your favorite cuisine to eat?

Yeah, anything Cuban, I'm ready to go.

Yeah, dude.

I love food.

Have you been to Cuba?

Never.

Really?

Never.

Is your family from there?

Yeah, my dad actually came to Miami in a raft.

No way.

In 83 or 82.

Holy it was like seven days a sea.

Dude, that's baller.

Yeah, he's a gangster, bro.

What does he think of what you're doing now?

He must be.

No, he's tripping out.

Like, my family, my family, they don't really know who I am social media-wise, obviously, because they just barely, they barely still know how to use an iPhone.

So they're not in tune with...

where the world is right now in terms of technology.

So I just don't inform them too much because they simply won't understand.

Wow.

And at the beginning of my journey, the lack of their understand,

their lack of understanding for what I was doing affected what I had going on for myself because I was doubting myself.

You get me?

I'm taking on this whole new journey, this whole new niche, and I'm ready to give it 100%.

And my family's not supportive because they just simply don't understand.

And their lack of not understanding can't let that affect where I'm trying to go.

But when you pulled up in the Lambo, that changed.

Oh, yeah,

they checked out.

Damn, that must have been tough, though, not having their support.

It was pretty tough.

Yeah, I'm not going to.

Yeah, and I feel like that's actually a common issue with people looking to go into whatever business venture, entrepreneurship, trading, their parents.

I mean, I get them.

You know, I put myself in the shoes and I understand them because they came to this, you know, they flew, like, they literally immigrated to another country to just work, become successful, and give the family the best life possible.

Yeah.

Now they have this crazy son that's trying to click a couple buttons on the computer and trying to make something out of it.

And I get them because what they want is the best for us.

Yeah.

Right.

And I understand that, but sometimes their vision of what's best for us is not what is the actual best situation for us to succeed.

Yeah, different time period too.

Exactly.

What they think is best was best for them at the time.

They were our age, but now it's shit evolves quick, man.

Who knows what our kids are going to be doing?

Yeah.

Were you an only child?

No, I have a little sister.

Okay.

Yeah, I was an only child.

So for my mom, it was dropping out was...

You dropped out?

Yeah, of college.

Really?

Did you drop out?

I never went.

Oh, you never went?

Damn.

Okay.

Well, I mean, I did go.

I just never showed up.

I mean, I was registered.

I think I went for a week, and then I just never went back.

Wow.

You just never liked school?

No, no, it was never for me.

Yeah, I wish I dropped out of high school, honestly.

Really?

Yeah.

College was a bit late.

How long were you there before you dropped out?

Like a year.

Okay.

Just partied hard.

So you got the party experience?

Got the party experience.

I don't know how people do that for four years because after the year, I was like...

Burnt out.

It's boring.

I mean, I don't know.

Are you a big partier?

Not really, bro.

You know, I've never gone to a high school party.

I've never gone to a college party.

Damn, are you serious?

Yeah, I've never done that.

I'm more of a private party guy.

That makes sense.

Like, I'll bring like five, six friends to my house and like 10 girls, and that's it.

But like, not create a scene with 50, 60 people that I don't even know.

Right.

And I won't go to a club and share a table with people I don't know.

Really?

I just, I just don't, I don't know, man.

I don't feel comfortable.

It's so weird.

Dang.

So weird.

So you're very private despite having a following.

Yeah.

That's interesting.

Wow.

I'm not a club guy, dude.

To me, it's so so awkward you go to the club and everybody's just there on their phone or scrolling through it and you know, yeah, you know, as soon as the bottle comes out, they put the flash, they put it down, the table's like 10 G's for the bottle.

It's just, I don't know.

To me, it's all it's all fake.

Yeah, everyone's there just for the video.

And that's a lot of Miami nightlife.

So you're kind of avoiding all that.

Yeah, I avoid it as much as I can.

Wow.

That's interesting.

I have so much more fun in my house.

Dude, people get sucked up in that nightlife out there.

Yeah, and it's expensive, bro.

You could see it on their face.

They age like crazy.

Oh, yeah, big time.

I know people that live there in their 30s having gray hairs.

God, dude.

I can imagine.

Like, you're up till 5 a.m.

partying and drinking.

You could go out every day in Miami and not even notice what day it is out of the way.

Yeah, because space is open every day, right?

And 11.

Have you been to 11?

I've been.

Yeah, I went once.

My phone died.

It was traumatic.

Traumatic experience.

Couldn't get out of there.

Oh, my God.

That's funny.

What else do you do in your free time?

So mainly lately I've just been team building.

I have a group of like traders that I kind of connect with a little bit.

And honestly, just giving back to the community.

I don't know if you saw, but I gave away Lambo.

Oh, I didn't.

What?

Yeah, I gave away a Lambo.

How did you pick the winner?

It was rock, paper, scissors.

No way.

Yeah, yeah.

You picked two random guys to play.

So we did a community event where we have a free trading competition.

And then the people that ended up in the top 10 of the leaderboard, they would come out to Miami and they would do the rock, paper, scissors.

Dude, that's sick.

You know, you'll be surprised how hard it is to give away a Lambo.

I don't know how Mr.

Beast does that every other month or however long it does.

It's actually very hard.

We literally picked the top 10 contestants to give away the Lambo and we had to go down the list probably for like another 15, 20 people because people weren't replying to emails, weren't replying to their phone numbers.

What?

They weren't filling up.

For a Lambo?

Yeah, bro, it made no sense.

He's replying instantly.

That's what I'm saying.

And then we paid for the flight, paid for the hotel, paid for accommodies for everything.

What?

And then still only six people showed up.

No.

I am not even kidding, bro.

I wouldn't even fly them out.

I'd just be like, it's on you, man.

Yeah, it's you want the Lambo.

so we did a whole event where you know we put the names and random you know cups it's on youtube we have a youtube video on it and then they just pick the names rock paper scissors and then they got that dope

so you want to be like the mr beast of the forex space yeah i've done a lot of things to be like him you probably get it from steve too yes

all the time steve is crazy man yeah he needs to get back on youtube man yeah they they're they're trying to see what they can do to get him back on youtube yeah that was so messed up dude he was doing so much good for the world doesn't make sense like he was such a net positive and they banned him and it hurt obviously, it hurt him, bro.

Like, emotionally, he's

you put so much time and effort into a platform and you know, all these ideas and the community.

And out of nowhere, just a flick of a button, they're gonna remove you.

I think it's I don't think it's fair at all.

Yeah, dude, he was putting in millions of his own money.

Trust, the guy goes all in.

So messed up, dude.

What are you giving away next?

So, we might do another Lambo now in February because it's a whole logistical mission you have to set up, but we might do something where it's more accessible to other people.

Because the mission we give away at the Lambo was that now, this guy, he had to you know get insurance insurance is probably like 2k a month and he couldn't pay for it so we had to pay for it so we might give something like teslas you know something where people are actually accessible and they're going to use on their day-to-day life yeah 2k a month is a lot if you don't have money yeah it's it's a mission yeah who's a dream uh celebrity you want to meet

dream seller that's like probably dan bazerian okay that's pretty doable dude he's in vegas i think i could do it yeah steve's probably already talking about yeah yeah for sure yeah i know uh my videographer films for him Really?

Yeah, I'll try to line it up.

Oh, if you can set that up, I'll give you a Lambo, bro.

Yeah.

People used to look up to him, man.

I mean, I still look up to him.

Even after the falloff?

I mean, the falling, you can't blame him, bro.

You know what I mean?

You know how you felt with making 50 to 100K?

Yeah.

Imagine how that guy felt, bro.

Right.

He's making.

You know what I mean?

Imagine how that guy felt.

I think what goes up.

comes down

a certain point.

And he was number one of everything.

When you're at the pinnacle, you can't stay there.

The feelings that guy must have been going through are probably like, there's no comparison, you're gonna be, yeah, yeah, that's true.

Yeah, I'm trying to think if I have one.

I don't know.

I met a lot of people, but I don't have any like fanboy celebrities.

Yeah, like, I mean, that's just the first thing that came to mind.

I never thought of that question, you know?

Yeah, as a kid, I used to think of that with like Leonardo DiCaprio, but these days, I don't even care.

Like, I see, there's a lot of people that come into Vegas, and I don't even care anymore.

Did you end up meeting him or not?

Dan, yeah,

at his mansion before we all got

really?

Yeah, it was like before even came out.

Okay, everyone at the party got it.

At the his house, his old Ignite house.

Yeah, nice.

Yeah, like 200 people.

The one in LA, not the one here.

LA, yeah.

Yeah, that's the house.

Yeah, that was the house, dude.

You know, to answer your question better, probably the celebrity that I wanted to me is that the Dan Bazerian of that time.

Right.

There you go.

That makes more sense.

That'd make more sense.

Yeah.

Okay.

That I can buy, but I'll still line it up for you, bro.

No, yeah.

Where can people find you and learn more about the trading stuff?

Bro, I have a YouTube channel, FXAlexG, teach trading there for free, do vlogs, you know, giveaway stuff on that main channel.
