Can’t Get Funded? My Prop Firm Plan for Your First Payout (Full Guide) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00I've been day trading for the last 13
- 0:02years and the one thing I've done more
- 0:04than anybody else is lose platform
- 0:07accounts. So, if you're struggling,
- 0:09you're not alone. A lot of us go through
- 0:11this. And me personally, I lost over
- 0:13$10,000 before I could get my first
- 0:16payout. I went through everything.
- 0:18Strategy hopping, FOMOing, not using the
- 0:21proper risk management, full porting,
- 0:23trying to get lucky. And we all go
- 0:25through the same process. But I want you
- 0:27to learn from my mistakes and do it in
- 0:30much sooner. So in today's video, I'm
- 0:32going to be telling you exactly how I
- 0:34would pass my first performer account
- 0:36and how I would get my payout. I'm going
- 0:38to walk you through which accounts I
- 0:39would aim for, which risk management
- 0:41strategy I would use, and my stepbystep
- 0:45strategy. The accounts I would be trying
- 0:47to pass if I was just starting out would
- 0:49be the my perp 25k elite plans. Now,
- 0:53yes, these are perpetual pay moves just
- 0:55like futures. And I promise you, they're
- 0:57the best accounts you can possibly get
- 1:00right now. They're $109 if you use code
- 1:03BGC with a 3% daily loss limit. Now, you
- 1:05can take off the day loss limit and it
- 1:07will go up substantially, but I would
- 1:09definitely keep the 3% daily loss limit
- 1:11if you're trying to minimize how much
- 1:14money you're spending. Now, why do I
- 1:15love this plan so much? Because they
- 1:17have a max draw down of 5% which is
- 1:19static with a 3% daily loss limit. It's
- 1:21almost a double what you get in the
- 1:22future space. And again, draw down is
- 1:25static. So even after you get your first
- 1:26payout, it will stay at 5%. It will not
- 1:29move up. It will not require buffer. It
- 1:31will not require consistency. It will
- 1:32not require minimum trading days. So if
- 1:34you have not traded perpetuals, I've
- 1:36been essentially only trading perpetuals
- 1:37for the last month. And I cannot speak
- 1:39enough how much better it is for my
- 1:41students. My students are currently up
- 1:43an average of 3x when they're trading
- 1:46perpetuals. They have a total payouts of
- 1:49over $50,000 with less than $20,000
- 1:53spent. So again, it's working for them.
- 1:55If you want to check them out, I'll
- 1:56leave a link down below and you can use
- 1:57code BC at any point for the best
- 2:00possible discount. Now, let's dive into
- 2:02what is the setup I would be using.
- 2:04Number one, I will only use one setup,
- 2:06guys. When you're first starting out,
- 2:08biggest mistake you can make is trying
- 2:10to use too many setups. Follow too many
- 2:12strategies, they're not going to work.
- 2:14So follow literally just one setup,
- 2:17build a plan around it and try to pass
- 2:19your account. Now what I would do is I
- 2:22use my golden pocket strategy, right?
- 2:24You might have watched some more videos
- 2:26about it, but I'll teach you exactly how
- 2:28it protects the draw down. It waits for
- 2:30confirmation and gives you exact
- 2:32stopping point, which is really, really
- 2:34key when you're trying to pass a
- 2:36properform account. Now, let's talk
- 2:37about what are going to be my risk plans
- 2:40and risk management. This is really,
- 2:41really important, guys. I'm going to try
- 2:43to risk $250 per trade, which gives me
- 2:47two losses max per day. So, personal
- 2:50daily loss limit, it's going to be $500,
- 2:52but my firm's daily allowance is going
- 2:54to be $750. And I really do not want to
- 2:56hit this, right? So, again, what I'm
- 2:58going to be aiming for is going to be a
- 3:002 R cuz I'm trying to get to the
- 3:01valuation target of $2,500
- 3:04and I'm going to go to break even after
- 3:06one hour. So, this is going to be the
- 3:08exact plan. You can literally just copy
- 3:10this. Now let's talk about the whole
- 3:11model in five easy step. Number one is
- 3:14understanding the direction. This is
- 3:15going to be where is the trend. Is this
- 3:17a bullish trend or is it a bearish trend
- 3:20and do we have a minimum meaningful
- 3:22target? This will be what we call a draw
- 3:25on liquidity. Your draw right is there
- 3:27any high that needs to be taken out? Is
- 3:28there any low that's taken out? We'll
- 3:30talk about that later as well. An
- 3:32impulsive move. This is what I like to
- 3:33call my Vshapes guys. Any time you look
- 3:35like this, that's usually the moves you
- 3:37want to trade into. Then a retracement
- 3:39refreshment or golden pocket which is
- 3:40the 618 2.6. Wait for the candle close
- 3:43for confirmation and execution which
- 3:45will be your risk management. You should
- 3:47already have it ready before you enter
- 3:48the trade. Stop size target. Now draw
- 3:52the move wick to wick. Right? When
- 3:54you're going to say how do I draw golden
- 3:56pocket? You're going to draw the trend
- 3:57from the low to the high and that's
- 3:59going to give you your 618 to the 66.
- 4:02Right? And then that's your pullback
- 4:04where you're waiting for a reaction to
- 4:06then enter the trade. Of course, if the
- 4:07trade was bearish, you just take this
- 4:09image, flip it upside down. We'll go
- 4:12into some examples a little bit later
- 4:14once we break down the strategy and risk
- 4:16management beyond it. Right?
- 4:20Direction comes before the entry. You
- 4:21should never enter a trade if you don't
- 4:23have the direction already. Right? You
- 4:26should already know, hey, this is a
- 4:27bearish trend we're going into today or
- 4:29a bear a bullish trend based on the hard
- 4:32time frame and have a meaningful low for
- 4:34the target. If you have if you don't
- 4:35have that, if you have a clear target,
- 4:36you need to stay out of the trade. What
- 4:38are some clear target talk about it? We
- 4:41talk about New York, New York. Um, lows
- 4:44and highs. We're going to talk about
- 4:47pre-market. So, that means your Asia and
- 4:49London lows and highs or any equal highs
- 4:53or equal lows. So, EQX, that's any equal
- 4:56highs or equal lows to the market. This
- 4:58is going to be your major draw. or if
- 5:01you're in news 8:30 a.m. You can look at
- 5:03the news
- 5:05low and high that have not been taken
- 5:06out yet. Those are going to be your
- 5:08draws. Ask first clear trend is a target
- 5:11visible room to move. If it is chopping,
- 5:13it just means you wait. And I'll show
- 5:14you an example on how to avoid that
- 5:16chop. The clos is the confirmation.
- 5:18Guys, we want an inversion for volume
- 5:20gap to give us the initiation to
- 5:22actually enter the trade, which is
- 5:23coming off a larger time frame trend.
- 5:25Right? If you do not get the cross
- 5:28below, please do not take the trade.
- 5:31Size from the stop. Planned stop loss
- 5:33plus estimated cost should equal to 250.
- 5:36Aim for a 221 reward risk only when the
- 5:38chart has room. If the PT comes before,
- 5:41I'm still okay with you taking that. As
- 5:43long as the Pique is between one to two
- 5:45R, I'm okay with that. As long as it's a
- 5:47minimum one hour. Now, if it's a
- 5:48negative R trade, please stay away from
- 5:50that trade. Two losses and then the
- 5:52session ends, guys. You really need to
- 5:54stay away from hitting a daily loss
- 5:56limit. So, make sure you the trades
- 5:59you're taking, they're actually a plus
- 6:01setup takes, right? Because you only
- 6:03have two bullets. When should you not
- 6:05trade? There's sometimes you should not
- 6:06be trading chop or unclear direction if
- 6:08you're not sure. Sometimes you don't
- 6:09always have to know where the market is
- 6:10going. Please stay out of it. Pocket
- 6:12touches without a confirmation close.
- 6:14That pocket might not be holding. Of
- 6:16course, it not be 100% of the time,
- 6:17right? It's not 100% guaranteed win rate
- 6:19strategy. So, stay away from that trade.
- 6:22Opposing levels leaves too little target
- 6:24space. Again, it's a 3R or a 2R trade, a
- 6:28point 4R. Please stay away. Smallest
- 6:30position still exceeds the risk cap.
- 6:32This probably just means that you it's a
- 6:34highly volatile day. You should move it.
- 6:36You should remove it. You should not
- 6:38trade it. Session limit reached or
- 6:39insertion account cushion or your third
- 6:42trade. These are the conditions you
- 6:44should not be trading. Now, you can show
- 6:45up to the market every single day and
- 6:48look for trades. I'm completely fine
- 6:49with that. There's no days like Mondays
- 6:51I don't feel like trading. Well, if
- 6:53these are the conditions, please stay
- 6:54out of it. Before every attempt, ask
- 6:57yourself this checklist. You can
- 6:59literally screenshot this. You can copy
- 7:00paste it. You can add it somewhere. You
- 7:01can type it in somewhere and make this
- 7:03before you enter the trade. Is the
- 7:04direction clear? Yes. The present
- 7:06tramarket pocket. Again, you should have
- 7:09already marked. Did the confirming
- 7:11candle close? Yes. Do the stop and
- 7:12target make sense? Does it give you the
- 7:14proper risk measurement? Yes. Does the
- 7:16size fit the remaining account
- 7:17allowance? Yes. And that means take that
- 7:20trade. So this will be A+ setup, right?
- 7:22We'll talk about it. We show some exact
- 7:24examples into trading view now. And this
- 7:27is what you want to look for before
- 7:30every attempt. So here we are on Trading
- 7:32View. We're going to talk about some
- 7:34trades I took this month with the team.
- 7:36Now, if you don't trade live with me
- 7:37every single day and actually learn as I
- 7:39teach my students, I'll leave a link
- 7:41down below so you can actually trade
- 7:43with me and learn from me exactly
- 7:44oneonone some of the ways I've taught
- 7:46students to grow and make over $40,000 a
- 7:50month. We've had over two students.
- 7:53They've made over 40,000. We had a
- 7:54student make over 50,000 this month
- 7:56alone. And why? Because I taught them
- 7:58101. No prerecorded [ __ ] No study
- 8:02days. I was there every step of the way
- 8:04for them and helped them a ton. So, if
- 8:06you do want to be the next students, I
- 8:07only work with a handful of people every
- 8:09single month. I'll leave a link down
- 8:11below where you can actually apply. Now,
- 8:13as you look into this trade, as you can
- 8:14see, we obviously are in a bearish
- 8:16downtrend. Why? Because we have gap
- 8:19down. If we moved down, we're always
- 8:20going to be looking at the five minute
- 8:23gap, right? The five minute uh time
- 8:24frame. So, we're going to f our latest
- 8:26leg, which is right here. And as you can
- 8:28see, we hit RGP right here. But why did
- 8:31I not take this first trade? You're like
- 8:33Antonio, hey, we've rejected the golden
- 8:34pocket beautifully and then we came
- 8:36down. The main reason is what do I see?
- 8:38Chop. So, because here we have chop, you
- 8:41need to avoid this. What do we want to
- 8:43look for? We want to look at Vshapes,
- 8:44right? We want to look for these Vshapes
- 8:46that we get right here. And why we want
- 8:48to look for those Vshapes? Because we
- 8:50want to enter after manipulation
- 8:52happens. You understand? After
- 8:54manipulation, it's the best time to
- 8:56trade the move. And this right here, the
- 9:00chop was to a lot of people start
- 9:01shorting too early, too impatiently.
- 9:04They shorted here, stops them out, and
- 9:06then it gives you the true move. So now
- 9:08I'm going to draw my bullish gap, which
- 9:10is right here. I'm going to wait for
- 9:11price to close below it. And once we get
- 9:14this candle closure below it, and we got
- 9:16this Vshape that got deleted, I'm going
- 9:19to enter a short position. For this
- 9:21example, I'm simply going to use one
- 9:23mini for every trade. stop loss above
- 9:25the high targeting the latest lows which
- 9:29in this case will be the pre-market lows
- 9:30going break even after a one tor uh
- 9:34trade. So in this case I'm going to sell
- 9:36going to short one and we're just going
- 9:38to let this play out. We're going to be
- 9:40targeting this low right here and we're
- 9:42going to put our stop loss above and
- 9:44then we're going to see what the outcome
- 9:45is going to be. So in this case I move
- 9:47this up a little bit so you guys can see
- 9:49we let the market just do its thing.
- 9:51Your job after this is just to let the
- 9:54market play out. Let the market play
- 9:56out. Let it show you its hand and just
- 9:58wait for it to move. So you can see this
- 10:00would have played out perfectly. You
- 10:01never came back above the high and you
- 10:04keep that's your win for the day. You
- 10:06can be done after the win. If you take a
- 10:08second trade, go ahead. But if you have
- 10:10a really good win that's over two hour,
- 10:11I highly recommend you take the day off
- 10:13or for the rest of the day. Now let's
- 10:15take a look at a bullish example, guys.
- 10:17The same idea applies. What do we have
- 10:19here? We have a bullish trend. We have a
- 10:22bullish trend going to this market. And
- 10:24all the way under here on the left, we
- 10:26have a lot of room to retrace into. We
- 10:30have a clear target above sitting at a
- 10:31forward gap around 29,790.
- 10:36So during this bullish trend, as we're
- 10:38going into New York open, we want to
- 10:40about our latest leg. Our latest leg
- 10:42would currently consist of this low
- 10:45right here and this high right here. If
- 10:49this were to retrace deeper into here,
- 10:52then you can fib out this leg or you can
- 10:55f out this bottom leg. But in this case,
- 10:57I'll be keeping an eye on the latest
- 10:59bullish leg. And why is this also the
- 11:00latest bullish leg, guys? Look, it gave
- 11:02a retracement after the chop, bounced
- 11:06perfectly into this five-minute gap, and
- 11:07gave us the next leg higher. See that?
- 11:10So, it's a really important low. This is
- 11:12a key low that we should not be
- 11:14retracing back down to if we're going to
- 11:16continue this bullish trend. And our job
- 11:18is to follow the trend. Why is our job
- 11:20to follow the trend? Our job is to
- 11:21follow the trend because that's going to
- 11:23be the path of least resistance
- 11:24following what the market wants to do.
- 11:26We get our closure above our version gap
- 11:29right here. So we can enter with one
- 11:32mini and we can target. We're going to
- 11:35set our stop loss below the next candle
- 11:38our 1.5 or 2our trade and then we're
- 11:41just going to let this play out. Set
- 11:43this here. Set our TP. Set our stop
- 11:46loss. And we simply just let the market
- 11:49do its thing. Guys, it's really
- 11:50important. You just let the market do
- 11:51its thing. A lot of people want to
- 11:53premove the market. They want to enter a
- 11:55trade before the market. They want to
- 11:57they see the P&L and they get scared.
- 12:00No. If you have a trade, you have a
- 12:02plan. Exactly what you should be looking
- 12:04to do. Just let the market play out.
- 12:06Take a breather. Take a step back.
- 12:08Everything will be fine. You lose the
- 12:09account. It's all part of the process.
- 12:11You need to learn to become a good loser
- 12:13to actually start winning. The market is
- 12:16unlike everything else. It's not a game
- 12:18you're trying to go 100 and zero every
- 12:20time. You will take those losses. The
- 12:22only thing you can do is actually learn
- 12:24from them and get better. Look what you
- 12:26could have done better. If you follow
- 12:27your plan, it's totally fine. Sometimes
- 12:29you will lose. Let's take a look at a
- 12:32third example. We're simply going to
- 12:34about again, guys. It's the same steps
- 12:36each time. We're going to about our leg.
- 12:40See these bonds from the GP. And now we
- 12:42see some chop happening, right? We see
- 12:44we see a V shape here but we have now
- 12:47gotten what's our nation our inversion
- 12:48for volap. This is this is a nice V
- 12:50shape we got right here. So all we're
- 12:52doing we're sitting on our hands and
- 12:55we're waiting for inversion for volap.
- 12:58The difference between this you see got
- 12:59V shape here. If this came down and just
- 13:01sat here like just did this like real
- 13:03weak small candles those are the that's
- 13:06the chop you want to avoid. So where's
- 13:08our fivem minute fal gap here that we
- 13:10can wait for entry simply right there.
- 13:12Look at this. This one we've been
- 13:13rejecting. So, we know we're getting a
- 13:16lot of aggressive buyers here. Just
- 13:17there's a wall there. So, the walls
- 13:19right here. But when if we can break
- 13:21above this wall, price can really rock
- 13:23it. And you should be just waiting and
- 13:25waiting, not deviating your plan. Do not
- 13:27fall in love with watching in one minute
- 13:30and getting extremely extremely
- 13:32impatient. So, you're just going to be
- 13:34waiting for the closure above that gap.
- 13:36So, we just let this play out. We get
- 13:38our closure there. I went a little bit
- 13:39above it, but whatever. It's fine. We're
- 13:41going to set our stop loss below this
- 13:43loaded close above this for gap
- 13:44targeting our usual two trade. We're not
- 13:48trying to get greedy. We're just trying
- 13:50to follow our rules and get to the
- 13:52payout. If some dimes trade is mooning,
- 13:55can you push it past the 2 hour? Yes, go
- 13:57for the 3 hour. Go for the 4 hour. I
- 13:59don't want you chasing, but if it does
- 14:01happen, let it happen. So, it comes down
- 14:03and we hit the P. We avoided hitting the
- 14:07uh lower right here and this trade.
- 14:08Exactly. We have this low just by a
- 14:11little bit and we got our full TP right
- 14:14there. Now, I hope this video helped. I
- 14:16hope you actually learned something. If
- 14:17you did so, please subscribe, like, and
