Today we are joined by Adrian Reid. Adrian is a full-time stock trader of 18+ years and the founder of Enlightened Stock Trading. Adrian shows you how to make consistent profits from the stock market using a trading system that fits your lifestyle, goals, and personality in this episode Adrian didn’t only talk about the stock market but also about Crypto. He has very valuable tips shared most especially about not trading with your emotions to avoid losses and focusing on trend following in order to earn despite the stocks or cryptocurrency’s votalitly.
(00:18 - 07:07): Introduction to Adrian Reid and His Background
Adrian Reid is an Australian investor and trader who started working as a strategy consultant at the young age of 20. His interest in investing and trading started after reading books and attending courses. He eventually found a method that fit him and became profitable. Reid's introduction to the stock market was playing games with his family when he was 9, but he realized he was losing money and it was incredibly boring. He started looking for different ways to invest and tried different methods, leading him to where he is today.
(07:07 - 21:52): How to Trade Your System, Not Your Emotions
One of the biggest keys to success as an investor is to have a system that you can follow regardless of what's happening in the stock market. Emotions often drive people's decisions when it comes to investing, leading to most people not getting ahead. Adrian recommends learning about investing through trading your system, not your emotions.
(21:53 - 30:14): Trend Following Rules For Making Money
Trend following is a strategy of investing in which you get in when the market is rising and get out when it falls, making a profit along the way. To be successful with trend following, you need to have a set of rules that work even when the market is volatile. When trading, it's important to have a long-term perspective and to be able to be wrong.
(30:14 - 37:53): How to Trade Like a Pro: Use a Broad Set of Rules to Predict the Future
To trade stocks, crypto commodities, and other markets, Adrian suggests using rules based on price movement. The importance of having a system that is adaptable to various market conditions is highlighted. Technical analysis involves using indicators to track price movements and predict future outcomes. If a trader has broad rules that work regardless of parameter values, they are more likely to make money in the future.
(37:53 - 45:24): How to Trade Safely and Profitably in Crypto
Adrian suggests that people trade cryptocurrencies instead of buy and holding them forever, as this is a very risky strategy. He warns that if someone does not have a set of rules in place to exit a cryptocurrency when it's down, they may lose all their money. He also advises diversifying one's holdings across different assets and platforms to reduce risk.
(45:24 - 54:24): How to Trade Profitably with a System
Adrian emphasizes that to be profitable when trading, you need a system that works and generates good results. There are several ways to learn to trade profitably, including adopting a systematic approach and using trading systems. It can be hard work and expensive to develop a trading system, but it is possible if you are willing to put in the effort. He also recommends teaching people how to trade systematically so they can become confident and independent traders. Additionally, he encourages people to think about after-tax returns and be smart about paying taxes.

The acquisition manager closes deals and goes into geekpay.io to collect monthly notes. Mark also suggests doubling your money in 30 days or less by following the steps in a free course offered by thelandgeek.com. The course teaches how to delegate and advocate for yourself, eliminating the need to do research or find people to do work for you.
[21:03 - 26:48] How to buy your freedom with a small amount of money
The key to success with land investment is finding deals that are within your budget and have the potential to generate a high return on investment. It is important to understand the market conditions for land before investing as the market can be volatile. Selling land can also be difficult, and if you do not sell within a certain timeframe, you may need to make changes to your pricing or marketing strategy. Mark recommends starting small and growing gradually as you become more confident in your skills. The average client budget is around $2,500. Grant Cardone suggests that buying land doesn't always make sense because it doesn't always cash flow, but Mark has found success in this field. One of his challenges was that he couldn't use his commissions from real estate to buy other things.
