What does a day look like for a 32-year-old millionaire day trader in this video?

In this video, Rihari says his day starts with cardio or leg training, breakfast, then 20 minutes of Asia-session gold analysis on Market AI. He sets price alerts, works out at a gym, shops for luxury watches, takes his family on the water, and unboxes branded merchandise.

The video is presented as a day-in-the-life vlog for the Ambitious Investing brand, filmed around Australia's Gold Coast. Rihari calls it the first such video "we're done for 2026" and frames it as his "normal normal day," while noting that his morning training rotates: on this particular day he had done legs the day before, so cardio was the priority instead. After breakfast, he moves straight into what he describes as a quick read of Market AI followed by his own technical analysis, on the basis that he does not usually trade the Asia session but likes how it sets up the rest of the day.

The remainder of the day is largely non-trading content. He heads to World Gym Coorparoo to train a workout partner named Paddy through a push session focused on chest and shoulders, stops at a jewellery store hoping to look at Audemars Piguet watches, including a "skeleton" model he says he wants, and later visits what he calls a "new 2026 office." In the afternoon he takes his children out on the water, remarking on canal-front houses along the way and saying "one day" about owning one himself. Back home, he unboxes newly arrived Ambitious Investing merchandise, hoodies, tops and arm-sleeve branded pieces, and says the team wanted some made even though he does not plan to sell apparel as a standalone product. The day closes at a retail outlet where he looks for a watch case and a small carry bag, and where a 10% discount code tied to the Ambitious brand is shown on screen. Rihari is explicit that this kind of shopping trip "is not something I do every single day," and that other days in the planned weekly series might involve jet skis or golf instead.

The video opens and closes on lifestyle imagery rather than trading footage: it begins with Rihari and a companion pointing at a yacht and saying "one day, one day," and it closes with the shopping-trip discount code and the line "that is us, just another day in the life." Between those two bookends, the trading segment lasts a few minutes of screen time out of a day that otherwise covers a gym session, a jewellery visit, a boat trip with his children, a merchandise unboxing and a retail outing. That balance of content is a fair description of what the video is: primarily a brand and lifestyle vlog for Ambitious Investing, with a market-analysis segment placed at the start of the day. Rihari signals this is the beginning of a planned weekly series rather than a one-off, saying "weekly, these are coming" and that future episodes might feature different activities. Read as a series premiere, the video functions as an introduction to his on-camera personality and to the Ambitious Investing brand at least as much as it functions as a record of a trading day.

What trading activity does the video actually show?

The video shows Rihari reviewing a bearish XAUUSD (gold) bias on Market AI, marking technical levels, and setting phone alerts before markets move. He says he executed at least one trade from his phone during the gym session and calls it profitable, without showing account statements or trade size.

Specifically, Rihari says the day-trading bias on gold was "slightly bearish," and points to price action making a "lower low," retracing to a "point of interest," and then, in his stated expectation, making a further lower low on a lower timeframe. He frames this analysis as directional context for the day rather than a finished trade plan, saying it "gives me an overall view on what should be happening throughout the day." He explains the appeal of the workflow in terms of flexibility: having marked levels and set alerts on his charts, he says there is "a big comfort" in being able to "do your analysis" once, then "wherever you are, you'll get the alerts to your phone" and "place a trade" without sitting at a desk.

That flexibility is demonstrated later, mid-workout at the gym, when he tells Paddy a "trade update" is "profitable." In the same breath, he adds a qualifier: "honestly, not my best trade... could have got in a better entry from earlier, but such is life, man." No entry price, exit price, position size, leverage ratio, stop-loss level, currency amount, or percentage return appears on screen at any point in the video. The trade is described verbally, once, and is not revisited.

Rihari presents the alert-based workflow as the reason mobile trading fits around a full day of other activities: he does the analysis once, in the morning, then relies on the platform to notify him when price reaches a marked zone, wherever he happens to be. That is a description of a personal workflow choice, not a claim that the approach improves outcomes, reduces risk, or works for any trader other than him. The video does not compare this approach to any alternative, and it does not state a win rate, accuracy figure, or expected outcome for trades taken this way.

How does the video's day compare to what regulators say about retail day traders?

The video does not claim to represent a typical professional trading day; it mixes a short morning market check with gym, shopping and family content. Independently, ASIC's regulatory reporting focuses on client outcomes and losses, not lifestyle, which is the main point of difference set out below.

| Element | Shown in the video | Independently verifiable | |---|---|---| | Trading activity | One gold (XAUUSD) trade, called "profitable," no figures shown | Not verifiable from the video alone | | Win/loss record | Rihari says 13 wins, 12 break-evens and 4 losses in the month, out of 29 trades | Self-reported on camera; no broker statement or audit shown | | Time spent on markets | Roughly 20 minutes of screen-based analysis, then alerts monitored passively through the day | Not independently timed or logged | | Income or profit disclosure | No dollar figures, account balance, or return percentage disclosed on screen | No income claim is made that can be checked | | Business or licensing detail | Not mentioned; only a merchandise brand and Discord community are referenced | Not established by this video | | Broader retail trader outcomes | Not addressed at any point in the video | ASIC Report 828 records that 68% of Australian retail CFD investors lost money in the 2024 financial year |

The gap in that last row is the article's central point: a video can be entirely accurate about what one person says happened to them on one day, while still giving no indication of what happens to retail traders generally. The gym session, jewellery visit, boat trip and merchandise unboxing that fill most of the runtime are not evidence of trading skill either way; they are lifestyle content that sits alongside, rather than substitutes for, the missing performance record.

What steps does the video show before a trade is placed?

Before showing any trade, the video depicts Rihari checking an AI market-bias tool, confirming that view with his own technical analysis, marking key price levels, and setting phone alerts. The numbered steps below follow the sequence he narrates on screen.

1. Check the automated bias tool. Rihari opens Market AI and notes its day-trading bias reading for XAUUSD, describing it on this occasion as "slightly bearish."
2. Cross-check with manual technical analysis. He says he looks for price structure to confirm that bias, pointing to a "lower low," a retracement to a "point of interest," and an expected further lower low.
3. Frame the move with fundamentals. Rihari says he likes "to understand fundamentals because it's the driver of the market," using economic context to judge where gold is heading before relying on technical entries alone.
4. Mark levels and set alerts. He marks what he calls "little areas" on his charts for what he wants to see, then sets alerts against those price zones so he is notified without staying at a screen.
5. Leave the desk. Rihari says the alerts let him "execute a trade from my phone" from wherever he is during the rest of the day, which in this video included a gym session with Paddy.
6. Act on the alert. When the alert triggers, he places the trade from his phone and, later in the day, verbally reports a "trade update" as "profitable" to the person he is training.
7. Log the outcome informally. The only record shown of the trade is that spoken update mid-workout; no closed-trade screenshot, running account total, or written log appears anywhere in the video.

What is absent from that sequence is as notable as what is present. There is no disclosed risk percentage per trade, no stated stop-loss distance, no backtested win-rate figure for the Market AI bias tool itself, and no explanation of how a break-even trade is defined. The steps above describe Rihari's stated workflow, not a strategy that has been shown, in this video, to be repeatable or profitable for anyone following the same sequence.

How big is the market behind the trades shown in the video, and what does regulator data say about outcomes?

The video trades XAUUSD, gold, priced against the US dollar in the global foreign-exchange market. That market is enormous: the BIS 2025 Triennial Survey recorded average daily OTC foreign-exchange turnover of US$9.6 trillion in April 2025, dwarfing any single retail trader's activity shown on screen.

That scale matters for context, not for reassurance. A single trader's single trade, whatever its actual size, is an immeasurably small fraction of a market moving trillions of dollars each day, and the size of the market says nothing about whether any individual participant, including the trader in this video, is likely to profit from trading it. Gold is commonly traded by retail investors as a CFD or other leveraged derivative rather than as physical metal, which places the trade this video depicts in the same broad product category that Australian regulators track for retail outcomes. On that measure specifically, ASIC Report 828, titled "Risky business," records that 68% of Australian retail CFD investors lost money in the 2024 financial year. The video does not cite this statistic, or any comparable outcome data, at any point.

Read together, the two permitted facts frame the same scene two different ways. The BIS figure explains why gold and currency markets can absorb activity from millions of participants without moving on any one trader's order. The ASIC figure explains why most of those retail participants, over a full financial year, ended up worse off rather than better off. Neither fact confirms or contradicts anything Rihari says about his own results; they simply supply the population-level context that a single day-in-the-life video, by its nature, does not.

What claims does Rihari make about his win rate, and how should they be read?

Rihari says that in the month shown he recorded 13 wins, 12 break-even trades and 4 losses out of 29 total, calling his profit factor "massive." This is a self-reported, unverified claim made in a promotional video, not an audited trading record, an advertised return, or a claim any viewer can replicate.

He attributes the record to what he calls a "risk management plan" built around entering at "points of interest," so that, in his words, once a position is opened and managed correctly, "all of the risk is off the table." He also says a break-even trade, in his own accounting, "is still like a thousand bucks," which implies a large position size, though no account balance, leverage ratio, or currency denomination is shown to support that figure. Every number in this section, the win count, the break-even count, the loss count and the dollar figure, comes from Rihari speaking directly to camera and to Paddy during the gym session. None of it is shown on a broker statement, a trading journal, or any third-party record within the video. This article treats these as statements attributed to Rihari, not as independently verified facts about his trading performance, and readers should treat them the same way.

The term "profit factor," which Rihari uses to describe his month, is a standard trading metric: broadly, gross profit divided by gross loss, where anything above one indicates more was won than lost. The video does not state the underlying dollar figures used to calculate the number he calls "massive," so while the term itself is a real and commonly used measure in trading, the specific figure attached to it in this video cannot be checked against any supporting record shown on screen.

Does the video disclose income, licensing, or performance results?

No. The video does not show an account statement, a regulated broker's verified performance report, an AFSL licence, or any income figure tied to trading. It shows lifestyle spending, including jewellery shopping and a discount code for merchandise, alongside brief on-screen trading commentary.

What the video does reference is the Ambitious Investing brand itself: newly produced merchandise, a QR code linking to "everything Ambitious," and a Discord community where future apparel drops are said to be posted. A retailer visited later in the day offers a 10% discount using the code "profitable," tied to the Ambitious brand rather than to any trading product or signal service. None of this amounts to a disclosed business structure, a fee schedule, or a licensing statement, and the video does not present itself as making one. Viewers looking for a licensing status, a product disclosure statement, or verified, audited performance figures for Rihari or for Ambitious Investing will not find them in this video. Anyone who wants that information would need to source and confirm it separately, for example against a regulator's public licence register, rather than treat the absence of a disclaimer in a lifestyle vlog as evidence either way.

It is also worth separating the discount code from the trading content. The code "profitable" is applied to a retail purchase, a watch case and a bag, at a store unrelated to trading, during the shopping segment of the day. It functions as brand promotion for Ambitious Investing merchandise, not as a claim, guarantee, or description of anyone's trading results, even though the word itself echoes the trading commentary earlier in the video.

Should this video be treated as investment advice?

No. Nothing in the video constitutes personal financial advice, a licensed recommendation, or a promise of returns. Independent regulatory data shows most Australian retail CFD traders lose money, which is the necessary context missing from any lifestyle-focused trading video of this kind.

The video is best understood as a personal, promotional day-in-the-life vlog for a media and merchandise brand. It documents what Rihari says about his own routine and his own trading on one specific day, interleaved with gym, shopping, family and unboxing content, and it closes with a merchandise discount code rather than a trading offer. It does not analyse risk, disclose trading costs or leverage, or address the base rate of outcomes among people who trade the same gold and currency instruments it shows on screen. Readers who want that base rate can weigh Rihari's on-camera claims against ASIC Report 828, which found 68% of Australian retail CFD investors lost money in the 2024 financial year, and against the sheer scale of the market described in the BIS 2025 Triennial Survey, before drawing any conclusion about what a single filmed day implies for their own trading decisions.
