All right, folks. Welcome to lesson four
0:02
of CU.
0:05
What is trading?
0:13
Now, trading is the simple action of
0:15
exchanging one thing for another thing,
0:19
right? It happens every day
0:23
uh in the form of physical objects being
0:26
traded for money and it happens online
0:28
as well.
0:30
in the form of uh [snorts]
0:33
e-commerce selling stuff online and a
0:38
subdivision of online trading is what we
0:42
do is trading money for stocks, bonds,
0:47
commodities,
0:48
forex, crypto, etc. All right.
0:54
So what we're doing is a form of online
0:56
trading.
0:58
Now the history of trading a very brief
1:01
rough gross uh oversimplified
1:07
a version [snorts] of the history of
1:08
trading
1:10
is that 10 10,000 in 10,000 BC uh we had
1:15
the first ever trading related evidence
1:18
observed
1:21
and then around 3000 BC we had the first
1:24
ever recorded trade activity
1:28
uh it was found in Mesopotamia which is
1:31
modern day
1:33
uh which is around Syria,
1:36
Iraq,
1:38
Turkey etc. the Middle East other than
1:41
the Gulf, right? And then in6002 we had
1:46
the Amsterdam Stock Exchange which is
1:48
the first ever form of modern
1:52
stock or trading ever recorded. Uh the
1:56
Amsterdam Stock Exchange is
2:00
it was founded in6002
2:02
and it is considered the birth of
2:05
modernday trading.
2:08
It was the first ever official tradable
2:13
manipulatable
2:14
stock exchange, right?
2:18
And it was obviously physical. They go
2:20
in and they physically scream and shout
2:22
each other. it was very chaotic and they
2:25
go and uh [snorts]
2:27
buy whether it's stocks, bonds,
2:31
uh they even had short selling, they had
2:34
FX in a very ear early version, they had
2:38
uh derivatives,
2:40
right? So it was a complete stock
2:43
exchange, a very primitive form, but it
2:46
was a stock exchange. It was the first
2:48
stock exchange and it is what gave birth
2:52
to uh stocks, bonds, commodities, forex,
2:57
crypto, right? So they all
3:01
they all sprouted out of the Amsterdam
3:04
stock exchange,
3:06
right? And this is uh why this matters
3:09
is because perhaps there are some of you
3:11
those who are watching this and see you
3:14
uh or those who watch this years down
3:16
the line
3:18
and see you uh if you've ever had the
3:20
question
3:22
is trading a bubble that's going to stop
3:27
then the answer is there were people
3:30
shortelling
3:32
in the 1600s.
3:37
Right? And they probably thought even
3:39
back then that yes, it's a bubble. It's
3:41
not a bubble. It's going to exist for a
3:43
long long long time.
3:46
Right? Uh there's people I know them
3:49
that they they are traders. Their father
3:53
their fathers were traders. Their
3:55
grandfathers were traders, right? The
3:57
way they made a living was being a
3:59
full-time trader, right? So trading is
4:03
not going anywhere.
4:05
It will evolve in its in how it's
4:08
conducted.
4:10
Uh but it's not going anywhere.
4:14
Just a few decades ago, uh in order to
4:17
place a trade, you had to call someone
4:19
to place a trade for you, the broker.
4:22
Right? Now you can do it from
4:25
uh from your home. Right? uh
4:30
the way we trade
4:33
has evolved but the uh trading itself
4:38
making money from financial markets from
4:41
the stock market from the crypto market
4:43
from the forex market uh [snorts] it has
4:45
never it hasn't changed and it will
4:47
never change
4:49
right it'll only become more convenient
4:50
and easier moving forward
4:53
that's a word of uh that is that is a
4:57
word to calm those who who are nervous
5:00
or who are uncertain about the future of
5:02
trading. Trading is here to stay.
5:08
All right.
5:14
Now, we went from
5:17
the Amsterdam stock exchange, which
5:19
still exists by the way today. Today,
5:20
it's called the uh uh the Euronext
5:23
exchange,
5:25
right?
5:26
Uh we went from there to physically
5:29
going into the market and trading the
5:32
stocks and the commodities and whatever
5:34
to now we have trading view on our
5:36
phones.
5:39
It has never been this easy to make
5:42
lifechanging
5:44
money,
5:46
right? So, this is an opportunity which
5:50
uh I advi I can't push you to live
5:52
trade, right? That's not my place. But I
5:54
can advise you all
5:58
and I can tell you all how how it was
6:00
with me. It's it's the most profitable
6:05
way to make
6:08
the most amount of money in the least
6:11
amount of time with the least amount of
6:13
effort. Now, this doesn't mean that you
6:15
go in you go all in tomorrow, right?
6:18
Whenever you hear this, uh no,
6:22
it is to give you a a perspective to
6:25
shine light on uh a new perspective, a
6:28
new way of thinking.
6:33
Right. And who knows what the future is
6:35
going to be. Are we going going to be
6:36
able to trade
6:38
uh with chips we have in our implant in
6:41
our in our heads? I don't know. We'll
6:42
see.
6:47
Right now, the evolution of the charts.
6:50
The charts started off uh in the 1700s.
6:58
uh and the first ever candlestick charts
7:02
were invest were invented by the uh the
7:05
Japanese
7:07
right
7:11
and that is the beginning of the open
7:13
high low and close.
7:19
Now it is what we have today trading
7:22
view and the future
7:26
is unknown. Only God knows the future.
7:35
The greatest invent invention in the
7:38
history of trading
7:40
uh was the candlestick chart.
7:44
And the most important part of the
7:47
candlestick charts I will point you at
7:50
and the bulk of what we will work with
7:57
this little little history lesson was
7:59
cool but what you're going to focus on
8:02
mastering is
8:05
uh the candlestick charts the open high
8:08
low and close
8:12
right so a bearish candle and look at
8:14
and focus focus on this slide as I talk.
8:16
Right? If you lost focus, then re-watch
8:19
again,
8:23
finish watching this time and then re
8:24
rewatch again with focus and a notepad
8:27
in hand. Right? So, look right now the
8:31
chart you see in front of you the image
8:34
of the open, high, low, and close.
8:37
Right?
8:39
In a bullish candle, you'll have an
8:41
open, low, high, and close.
8:44
And then you have the open, high, low,
8:46
and close in a bearish slash down close
8:50
candle. Right.
8:58
Right. So on on the uh when you when you
9:00
have a bar chart and this is how to read
9:03
bar charts is the open is on the left
9:06
side of the candle and the close is on
9:10
the right side.
9:12
Right?
9:14
Now mentally absorb this slide which is
9:17
a further delving it's a further delving
9:21
into
9:23
uh the charts.
9:29
This picture right here is
9:34
the bulk of our focus within the open
9:37
high and close. Right? to CRT is not
9:41
just open, hello, and close. CRT is much
9:45
more profound and a much more advanced,
9:49
nuanced, more effective concept than
9:52
simply blindly trading uh the open,
9:54
high, low, and close. Yes, we have the
9:57
open high, low, and close in the in CRT,
10:01
right? But CRT is the system.
10:06
You don't have to think about learning
10:08
anything else ever again.
10:13
You'll have CU, you'll have the books,
10:15
you'll have uh
10:19
that'll be enough,
10:21
right? For those who want CSS or
10:23
whatever in person events, that's also
10:24
great. That's going to be excellent
10:26
refinement and it'll take you to an even
10:28
higher level. But uh
10:32
mentally submit to the fact that CRT is
10:35
the path forward
10:37
with me
10:40
as the inventor, right?
10:44
And uh prepare for a fantastic
10:49
year full of education
10:53
in the year 2026.
10:57
And this the continent of CU will be uh
11:02
eternal right so it's going to be
11:04
timeless
11:09
even if in the future there are some
11:11
other courses uh there will be uh a
11:14
completion and a refinement and building
11:15
on CU CU CRT University the information
11:20
here is timeless information
11:23
on how to trade CRT T.
11:27
The most complete information
11:30
on how to trade CRT is right here.
11:34
You're watching it right now. Now, this
11:36
chart you see right now, you see these
11:39
pictures,
11:42
these pictures [sighs]
11:46
are what we're going to study and see
11:49
you in depth.
11:52
These pictures, these these simple
11:54
pictures right here in front of you
11:58
are how
12:01
I I earned millions and millions and
12:06
millions and hundreds of millions
12:12
using uh nothing but my phone.
12:18
These pictures, these two photos in
12:20
front of you are how my students have
12:23
generated billions and billions of
12:26
dollars in profit
12:29
and still do till this day
12:36
and will keep generating in the future,
12:39
right? forever.
12:48
Absorb the pictures and absorb the
12:50
magnitude and feel the importance of
12:54
what you are partaking in.
13:03
Right.
13:06
[sighs and gasps]
13:10
And uh resist the urge and the feeling
13:14
you get of of being bored or seeking
13:17
like rapid uh information, right? Resist
13:21
the urge
13:26
and submit to the process. It's going to
13:29
be a journey of a,000 miles and it
13:32
starts with this one step.
13:35

I wish you good luck, good trading, and
13:42
