“Once you have profit in a trade, never let it become a loss.”

In short: Brian Rose shares step four of his eight-step trading checklist and explains what the DeFi Academy teaches in a live broadcast from 2021. He covers why traders watched Bitcoin climb and fall without taking profit, how the academy course is run, and who it is and is not designed for. Everything is presented as opinion and education, not financial advice.

Brian opens with a sneak peek at the checklist he gives students in his trading groups. Step four is simple: once a trade is in profit, don’t let it turn into a loss. He asks viewers to say whether they have broken that rule, using Bitcoin’s move from about $40,000 to $65,000 and back near $30,000 earlier in the year as the example.

He then takes questions from the audience, describes the four-week course at the heart of the academy and says plainly who should not apply.

Key takeaways

  • Protect profit. Step four of Brian’s checklist says a trade that has gone into profit should not be allowed to become a loss.
  • Holding has a cost. He argues that many who held through Bitcoin’s rise and fall could have traded around it and kept more of the gain.
  • Education, not advice. Brian repeats that everything is his opinion only and that viewers who want financial advice should speak to a financial adviser.
  • A defined course. The academy runs for four weeks in four modules, with eight hours of live calls, coaching, an online platform and an accountability process.
  • A long-term focus. He says the academy is for disciplined traders thinking in terms of ten years, not crypto day traders or people seeking quick riches.
  • Apply to join. Brian says he reviews every application himself and had to turn people away on the previous course.

The eight-step trading checklist

Brian says the groups he runs have rules, and shows one of them, step four of his eight-step trading checklist. He asks viewers to type yes if they ever broke it, then uses Bitcoin as the example: a holder who saw $40,000 go to $65,000 and then back to $30,000 watched profit become a loss.

He asks the audience how much they made in the latest rally, whether emotion hurts their trading, whether they are hodlers or traders, and whether they took profits. His view is that in a volatile, rising market active trading can beat holding, but he makes clear this is opinion and not advice.

What the DeFi Academy is

Brian says viewers had been asking whether he really believed in DeFi, and his answer is yes, which is why he created the academy. He describes decentralised finance as a roughly $9 trillion a year market and says he wants a small group of trusted people to help build infrastructure that gives individuals more control over their relationship with money.

He argues that you do not need an expert or a bank to tell you what to do with your money, and describes the fight for financial freedom as a ten-year project.

How the course works

The course is taught live by Brian, with four modules across four weeks and eight hours of live calls. Students also get exclusive access to an online platform, a triple-tiered accountability process, dedicated coaches, team leaders and a private group for assignments. Brian says he has been teaching for seven years and that peer groups open to graduates include people running dApps and DeFi funds.

Applicants fill in a form, and those accepted receive an email from Brian before paying and joining. Module zero is available immediately.

Who it is not for

Brian lists who should look elsewhere: crypto day traders, people chasing a get-rich-quick scheme, meme coin fans who troll forums and blockchain fans who only talk theory. He wants people who will put on trades, learn and help build the infrastructure. He says the first course was oversubscribed with thousands of applications, and that some students were teaching him about the DeFi space.

Full transcript: The Crypto & Crypto & DeFi Academy on London Real

0:00 Brian Rose: Inside my trading groups, we have rules. And I’ll give you a sneak peek even though you’re not in my Kings of DeFi Academy. This is, for example, one of the many things I give my students. This is my eight-step trading checklist. And you’ll see down, step number four, it says this.

0:17 Once you have profit in a trade, never let it become a loss. Let me repeat that. Once you have profit in a trade, never let it become a loss. And again, out there, if you’re watching me, type in yes if you violated this rule before. Raise your hand if you violated this rule before.

0:33 How many of you had Bitcoin at $40,000 back earlier in the year and went to $65,000 and you watched it and then you watched it go back down to $30,000, right? You had profit in the trade, you got all excited, you’re gonna hodl it till you die and then you had a loss on that trade. Why? You didn’t have to. You could’ve made money on that trade and be making money on this trade right now and that’s what we’re gonna talk about today.

0:57 So again, super excited to have everyone here. I’m answering questions live, this is live, and I’ll read out your questions wherever you are right now. Leave me a question. If you never left me a question, leave it to me now. And I just wanna say, by the way, everything I’m talking about today is my opinion only.

1:11 It’s education, it’s not financial advice. If you want financial advice, contact a financial advisor, it’s that simple. All right, questions for you right now. They’re coming right to my iPad. First of all, tell me, straight up, give me a number.

1:24 How much money have you made in the latest crypto rally? Come on, give me a number. Type it in, I’m gonna read it out. Just be honest with me. Is it 100 bucks, 1,000 bucks, 100,000, 10 million?

1:33 Put it in the thing. Secondly, tell me honestly, are you an emotional trader and does it hurt your profits? And tell me how. Be honest, please. Third, are you a hodler or are you a winner?

1:43 That’s what I wanna know. Do you really think that in a volatile market that is trending upwards, that you can’t make 10 times more money trading than hodling? Leave me your comments below. Maybe you got some hardcore hodlers out there. Tell me, I really wanna hear from you.

1:58 Fourth, have you taken profits during this rally? Why or why not? Tell me, be honest. And lastly, answer this question, would you like to learn from me on how to profit from DeFi and crypto asset trading and what I’m calling the greatest dislocation of wealth in human history? So leave those questions below.

2:17 I’m gonna get to those shortly. Before we do, a lot of you sent me DMs, you sent me emails, people stopping me on the streets. Honestly, I got taxi drivers asking me about this. You say, Brian, I seen what you’re doing. What’s going on with this DeFi Academy?

2:29 Do you really believe in this? Is this crypto really gonna change the future? And the answer is yes, yes, and yes, which is why I created our brand new DeFi Academy. A lot of you have gone to our landing page here and you’ve applied to be part of our DeFi Academy and you can see it here. It’s at londonreal.tv forward slash DeFi, that’s D-E-F-I, you can click probably a link below.

2:50 And this is a place where you can join me and I’m gonna teach you how to profit from a $9 trillion a year marketplace, the greatest dislocation of wealth in human history. I’m looking for a small group of people, trusted individuals who wanna help me build the future infrastructure that’s gonna tear down the old financial system, that’s gonna get rid of those greedy bankers, that’s gonna stop this racket known as the central banking system and put up something that is for the people, that is of the people, by the people, for the people. I’m talking about giving financial freedom back to the individual and giving your relationship with money back to the individual.

3:30 You don’t need some expert to run your money or to manage your money. You don’t need some bank to tell you that you shouldn’t buy crypto because it’s dangerous. I think this is a fundamental flaw. I think it’s a violation of your human right and we’re out there fighting and we’re gonna be doing this for the next 10 years. I’m looking for people that wanna join me inside my academy.

3:49 Again, if you go to this page, you can apply to be part of my group. I’ve got incredible, incredible students from around the world that have gone through my course and are now making money in a disciplined manner inside my trading peer groups that are only available for people that have graduated. Again, there’s a limited number of spaces available. We have announced I’m doing my third course, so get your applications in now. This is oversubscribed.

4:15 I get thousands of applications, and that’s because of this. This is a special course. I teach it live. That’s eight hours of live calls with me, personally mentoring you. It’s four weeks long, four modules.

4:28 And again, it’s personal coaching by me. It’s exclusive access to my online platform. You get my triple-tiered accountability process. I’ve been doing this for seven years. I’ve got dedicated coaches.

4:39 I got team leaders. And I’ve got a private group for all of our assignments. So again, it’s super exciting. We’re running out of time. I’m gonna start this new course very, very soon.

4:48 If you wanna be a part of it, click the link, go to LondonReal.tv forward slash DeFi, submit your application, sell me on why you should be a part of this group. We are taking this thing to Pluto. We’re going all the way. We’re gonna build incredible, incredible DeFi infrastructure. We’re gonna create generational wealth with our crypto asset trades.

5:08 We’re already doing it, but we’re gonna do it in an intelligent manner. And again, we’re here for the longterm. Crypto day traders, that’s not what we’re interested in. And again, the response to our first course has been off the charts. It’s the best course we’ve ever taught in the history of London Real.

5:24 The best reviews, people are so engaged. They’re so happy to have a community of people. They’re so happy to have access to someone who’s actually traded the financial markets. And again, we have transparency. So you’re talking to real people all around the world who bring some incredible ideas, new coins.

5:41 Some of these people run their own dApps and DeFi platforms. We’ve got people that trade their own DeFi funds, high level people here. It’s an amazing place. And look, if you go on that website and you submit your application, well you might be one of the people that gets one of these in their email. And this is a screenshot of me accepting you to be part of the DeFi Academy.

6:00 These are very special. I don’t send out many of these. I review all the applications myself personally. But if you get one of these in the mail, click on the link, pay for this thing and jump in my course. You’ll get module zero right away.

6:13 You’ll jump into this community. Your life will be changed forever. So super excited, I just wanna say, apply now if you want to, LondonReal.tv forward slash DeFi. But I wanna say this, my academy is not for some people out there, it might not be for you. Because the DeFi academy, I’m not interested in certain types of people, and I’ll tell you who I’m not.

6:33 I’m not interested in people who are crypto day traders. Please, go somewhere else. I don’t need your energy, and I think you don’t understand what we’re doing. It’s not rich, it’s not for people who wanna get rich quick. Please, there’s other people in the crypto asset space that wanna sell you the get rich quick scheme, please.

6:49 I’m here for 10 years, disciplined traders, that’s what I’m talking about. Next, if you’re into meme coins and you like to go and troll on internet forums, please go somewhere else. I’m talking about people who wanna add value and create DeFi infrastructure. That’s the people I’m looking for. I’m also not looking for blockchain fanboys for people that love to talk about the theory of the blockchain and the theory of crypto, no.

7:14 I’m looking for people who pull the trigger and wanna get into the arena and put on trades and learn and get involved. That’s what I’m looking for. So again, if you’re someone one of these other people, if you’re a day trader or a get rich quick person, go somewhere else, please. I’m too old for this, I don’t have the time. I wanna build a peer group of people that are gonna help me build the infrastructure of the future.

7:38 Again, I’m going all in on this. I’m looking for people that wanna pull the trigger, that wanna get involved and help me build the infrastructure of the future. Like I said, we are oversubscribed. We get thousands of applications. I had to turn people away on the last course.

7:51 So if you’re interested, go to LondonReal.tv forward, slash DeFi, but I am looking for the right people because some of the people in this course are next level. And they’re actually teaching me stuff about the DeFi space. They’re introducing me to people I can invest in in the future and they’re incredible partners to have globally. Those are the people I’m looking for. So click the link, apply, and join us right now.
