- 1:42All right,
- 1:46it's Friday.
- 1:48I have a feeling that today
- 1:53is going to potentially
- 1:59consolidate a little bit at least at the
- 2:02New York Open.
- 2:05So, we got to be careful. Today, we're
- 2:07back to having five funded accounts.
- 2:12I'm going to try and not get smoked.
- 2:18I also made a pretty large move up
- 2:19overnight,
- 2:26like 300 points.
- 2:32What up, M?
- 2:38So, kind of what I'm watching is um
- 2:42if if we are going to continue
- 2:47I got my eyes on this area a little bit
- 2:51for us to retrace some of this move
- 2:54higher
- 2:56and then come up. Now, if we just like
- 2:58end up pumping off the open,
- 3:06then I'm watching
- 3:08like this area
- 3:11in this area
- 3:13to see if we're going to actually push
- 3:15through it or if we're going to
- 3:21Hold on.
- 3:25or if we're just going to like rotate in
- 3:27between this area. This is a pretty
- 3:30large like like let's say if we do end
- 3:32up actually rotating in this area. This
- 3:34is a pretty large area. So,
- 3:39we can still catch some moves, but
- 3:44I had this I had this uh box drawn out.
- 3:47This is one of my zones.
- 3:49We didn't touch into it yesterday,
- 3:53but then the move down overnight, we
- 3:56pushed into it a little bit and then we
- 3:57started rejecting out of it. So,
- 4:01we're going to see if this push higher
- 4:02is going to continue. But
- 4:07just got to be a little bit careful
- 4:09about New York open.
- 4:18So, we're just going to chill.
- 4:23We're going to chill until market open
- 4:25and see where
- 4:28we are going to go basically.
- 4:35And then also, by the way, something
- 4:37else I'm watching too is
- 4:40on QQQ,
- 4:44we're probably going to open somewhere
- 4:45pretty close to the 600 level.
- 4:51And that's a pretty important like
- 4:53psychological level for QQQ.
- 4:56And yesterday when we got there on NQ,
- 4:58we basically chopped. I mean, I'm sure a
- 5:01bunch of people got smoked trying to
- 5:02trade this in the PM session.
- 5:52So, also
- 5:54with this account, the balance isn't
- 5:56really that large because we did have a
- 5:58couple losing days. So, it's only like
- 6:001,500,
- 6:02but technically today would be the fifth
- 6:04day, but
- 6:09I'm not going to worry about it. I need
- 6:11the balance to be higher, like closer to
- 6:13probably
- 6:15at the bare minimum like 2500 3,000
- 6:20before I take a payout on this. So maybe
- 6:22next week. And then this account is one
- 6:25of those accounts that is like the
- 6:28consistency rule, but it's a three-day
- 6:30payout.
- 6:32So I think we'll just try and build both
- 6:34of these balances up and take a payout
- 6:36at the same time.
- 6:42And then I have three Apex accounts. One
- 6:44of them, three PA Apex accounts. One of
- 6:47them is uh like $1,000 in profit and the
- 6:50other two are brand new. I activated
- 6:52them yesterday or last night.
- 6:57I've never really used Apex like that
- 6:59before. So, I am kind of nervous that um
- 7:04I'mma build those accounts and they're
- 7:05just going to like deny a payout. But
- 7:10what can you do? other than not trade
- 7:12with them.
- 7:21Although I don't think they'll deny a
- 7:23payout. I'm not giving them any reasons
- 7:24to. So, I guess we'll just have to see
- 8:09We have jolts today.
- 8:12What the hell? On a Friday
- 8:19and Michigan sentiment. Okay. At the
- 8:22same time,
- 8:28that's going to be interesting. So, we
- 8:29got to pay attention to uh the 10:00
- 8:31a.m. Eastern candle
- 8:35probably, unless we're like
- 8:38Yeah.
- 8:40That's uh Michigan sentiment and jolts
- 8:43at the same time.
- 8:49[clears throat]
- 8:52Yeah, Eek guy. What I'm kind of
- 8:54expecting is like
- 8:57for us to potentially
- 9:00uh rotate in a balance, but it's like it
- 9:03it could be a pretty large balance
- 9:04though,
- 9:06just like in this area. But this is
- 9:08still really large.
- 9:11But
- 9:14in terms of like a directional
- 9:16[clears throat]
- 9:17run,
- 9:22I mean, this is a big enough range for
- 9:23us to trade even if we do stay in this
- 9:25area.
- 9:27But yeah, in terms of sessions, like
- 9:29Asia highs were taken, London highs were
- 9:31taken. I'm not expecting us to actually
- 9:33come down here
- 9:36unless we just like start melting,
- 9:38right? But it doesn't really make a lot
- 9:41of sense for us to target and make a new
- 9:44low.
- 9:48At least not yet. At least not until we
- 9:51get like all the way down here, right?
- 9:58And then in terms of like running
- 10:00higher, like let's say if you thought we
- 10:02were going to come all the way up here,
- 10:03which it would be, I mean, like
- 10:09that'd be a crazy move. But if we are
- 10:12going to come up here, I mean, we would
- 10:13have to get past like this area
- 10:17between like eight.
- 10:19It's kind of a big area here where I
- 10:21don't really think we'll get past it,
- 10:22but
- 10:25at least not today. So, I'm kind of
- 10:28anticipating we stay like basically in
- 10:31between here
- 10:33and here.
- 10:35We do a bunch of random [Â __Â ]
- 10:40But again, that's a very large range, so
- 10:42there's still like opportunities to
- 10:45take. But the only thing I'm worried
- 10:47about though is like if we open
- 10:51[clears throat] in the next five minutes
- 10:52or eight minutes,
- 10:54if we open right here, we're essentially
- 10:57opening at um
- 10:59600 on QQQ, which I mean, look what
- 11:02happened yesterday once we got to 600.
- 11:06This is disgusting.
- 11:10Prop firms probably made a lot of money
- 11:12right here. A lot of resets happened
- 11:14from that.
- 11:17So, I'm worried that we make this this
- 11:19large move up and then what do we do?
- 11:20Well, we just
- 11:24PM session brings move,
- 11:27right?
- 11:30Uh, gamma levels. So, there's a bunch of
- 11:34different places to uh Oh, yeah. And
- 11:36today is Friday the 13th, huh? Yeah,
- 11:39Friday the 13th.
- 11:41But um
- 11:44gamma levels you can use a few different
- 11:47platforms. I specifically use this one.
- 11:52There's like Gexbot, Spot Gamma,
- 11:56Menthor Q,
- 11:58and then I use this one. It's called
- 12:00Tanuki Trade because I like the UI.
- 12:07So, if we're talking gamma levels, then
- 12:09like basically what I'm watching for is
- 12:10this. Look, I'll show you. So, you can
- 12:13see this here, but I also just have it
- 12:15printing this data on um
- 12:19Whoops. I have it printing this data on
- 12:21this. So, like if we're going to open
- 12:23here on 600, this is and I'm still like
- 12:27I'm not an expert at gamma, by the way.
- 12:29I'm learning it. But this is the way
- 12:31that I understand this, okay? And I may
- 12:33or may not be wrong, but I'm going to
- 12:35just say it anyways. 605
- 12:38and 595.
- 12:42I'm kind of expecting us to stay in
- 12:44between here today.
- 12:48We have a large put wall. We're opening
- 12:50at the gamma flip level. Basically, it's
- 12:53a it's a huge psychological number. It's
- 12:55600.
- 12:57So, it's kind of like um
- 13:03kind of like a situation where we may
- 13:06have like a large rotation,
- 13:09but I guess we'll see. I mean, like this
- 13:12is price right now
- 13:15sitting at the gamma flip level, which
- 13:17is
- 13:22should be interesting. What up?
- 13:25Thanks, bro. We'll see. We'll hopefully
- 13:28not lose all of our money today.
- 13:31That's the goal. It's not to
- 13:36Today though, I am going to be kind of
- 13:37uh careful
- 13:40because this isn't It's not really clear
- 13:42to me like what potentially we're going
- 13:44to
- 13:45draw to at the open. It's kind of like,
- 13:54yeah, cheesy. This thing is [Â __Â ]
- 13:55sick, dude.
- 13:57It's the main reason like on when I did
- 13:59a bunch of research
- 14:02and um
- 14:05I realized cuz you know how they all
- 14:06have different model calculations. So
- 14:08like all these different places take the
- 14:10same data and then they calculate
- 14:12differently.
- 14:13But I looked at Gexbot and Spot Gamma
- 14:17Mentor Q and then uh MZ Trading and all
- 14:21these different ones, right? They
- 14:23basically all have the same levels. At
- 14:25least the levels that I care about,
- 14:27which is like call resistance, put
- 14:30support, or like the call wall and put
- 14:32wall and then the gamma flip level. They
- 14:34may be off by like $1 on QQQ, which is
- 14:39about 40 points on NQ. So then I was
- 14:42like, well, if they all kind of give the
- 14:43same data, then I might as well just use
- 14:46the one that has like the best um
- 14:51user interface.
- 14:54So, I like I like that one. And it's
- 14:55pretty cheap. It's cheaper than the
- 14:57other ones. It's like
- 15:0060 or 70
- 15:03a month. My bad. 70 a month.
- 15:21Yeah, Gex is pretty dope. I've been
- 15:24taking a lot of time researching it and
- 15:26looking into it. Like I've always for a
- 15:28while and I know you've been using it.
- 15:32I just like I've been putting it off,
- 15:36but it goes hand inhand with order flow.
- 15:38So I think it's pretty good to use if
- 15:42you're trading orderflow.
- 15:44[snorts] I just got to be careful
- 15:46because I don't like I'm not like an
- 15:48expert on it, right? So, like I gotta
- 15:51understand that sometimes when I'm
- 15:52reading that stuff, I could be totally
- 15:54wrong. But at the end of the day, I'm
- 15:56not really using it for entries. I'm
- 15:58using it for just a location filter
- 16:04to understand like whether the market
- 16:07is in a structural like
- 16:12if it's likely if we're going to
- 16:13basically compress or or expand for the
- 16:16day.
- 16:17All
- 16:26right, we're about to open up here. So,
- 16:33Z, I don't I don't I'm not going to
- 16:35There's no reason to look at SPX for me
- 16:37because
- 16:42I traded NQ.
- 16:45If I traded ES, I would look at SPX,
- 16:50but I think it's better just to look at
- 16:52QQQ
- 16:54or even NDX, but QQQ.
- 16:58What up, Joseph?
- 17:10So, if we do push down, just so you guys
- 17:12know, I'm watching this area down here,
- 17:14like past this low, this little swing
- 17:16low. I'm watching this area right here
- 17:18to see if we're going to bounce and
- 17:19continue back up.
- 17:40But today
- 17:42I'm probably going to be a little bit
- 17:44more passive.
- 18:18My data is lagging right now.
- 18:27See that? See the difference?
- 18:35What numbers? These numbers.
- 18:39Look at this.
- 18:42It's lagging.
- 18:58The
- 19:14Is it going to keep lagging?
- 19:24Let me see.
- 19:31Order filled.
- 19:36>> Order filled.
- 19:37>> Damn. Are we about to do that right now?
- 19:47>> Order filled.
- 19:56Order filled.
- 20:01>> Dude, are we about to do this right now?
- 20:08>> Order filled.
- 20:13>> Order filled.
- 20:18N Rexer, I don't know if you understand
- 20:20what I'm doing right now, but I'm seeing
- 20:22the data move before Project X is doing
- 20:25it and I'm just scalping.
- 20:28I'm basically
- 20:32like I know what it's doing. Like I can
- 20:34see it. Like if you look at these two
- 20:36charts,
- 20:38they may sink back up right now, but
- 20:42for a while they were like
- 20:45they were different,
- 20:54but I have to take it off because this
- 20:55is I had to take it off uh the copy
- 20:59trader because this is just top step. If
- 21:02I would have taken this with like Apex
- 21:05and [Â __Â ] I would have gotten [Â __Â ]
- 21:06So, I turned off the copier for a
- 21:08second. I just wanted to test it out,
- 21:12dude. Cuz I'm not going to cap. There
- 21:14was one day I did this and I made 10
- 21:16racks
- 21:18that I pulled out from payouts. I made
- 21:2010 racks, bro.
- 21:22So, like,
- 21:25I'm just watching it. But I think we're
- 21:26going to sink. I think we're syncing up
- 21:28now.
- 21:38Yeah, we're back to normal. Okay, let me
- 21:41turn this back on.
- 21:52Dude, there was one day there was one
- 21:56day I did that. But like you see how the
- 22:00we weren't really moving a lot right
- 22:01here. So there wasn't a lot of
- 22:02opportunity to try and exploit that. But
- 22:05like there was one day we were snapping
- 22:08back and forth like [Â __Â ] crazy and
- 22:10there was a delay.
- 22:15[snorts]
- 22:16That stuff is crazy, dude. So anyways,
- 22:19it looks like it's sinking back up to
- 22:21each other. So we're going to stop doing
- 22:23that.
- 22:25But we were able to make a quick 500
- 22:27bucks from it.
- 22:37If you uh if you didn't know what I was
- 22:38doing, that probably looked funny. I was
- 22:40just like randomly entering and exiting
- 22:42trades.
- 22:57I'm sure you could totally get banned
- 22:59for doing that, by the way.
- 23:07But you know what? I don't give a [Â __Â ]
- 23:10It's not my fault.
- 23:13It's not my fault you got a shitty
- 23:14platform with lagging data. Like,
- 23:19so this open is incredibly slow right
- 23:21now.
- 23:24We'll see if we pick up speed to the
- 23:26downside and come into this area that
- 23:27I'm trying to watch for. I'm going to
- 23:29draw a little
- 23:31watch in this area. Okay.
- 23:37If we're going to just like
- 23:41mess around right here around 600 on
- 23:44QQQ, then
- 23:49probably just going to sit on our hands.
- 24:11Although since um since that happened, I
- 24:15need to be careful what I'm copy trading
- 24:17right now because
- 24:21the fills for top step and Apex are
- 24:24probably going to be different right
- 24:26now. So if I move [clears throat] to
- 24:28break even on project X, I need to make
- 24:31sure that like I move it actually in
- 24:33profit just in case if that makes sense
- 24:35for my my PA for Apex.
- 24:53Why Zo are you trading ES or something?
- 24:56Is that why you want me to show you SPX?
- 25:06No, it doesn't.
- 25:13when it come when it comes to looking at
- 25:15gamma levels and under and looking at
- 25:17GEX, if I'm trading NQ, I should not be
- 25:21looking at S&P. I should be looking at
- 25:23QQQ,
- 25:26not SPX. If I'm trading ES, I'll look at
- 25:30S&P.
- 25:32Or you could look at it for like macro
- 25:34context because S&P is the S&P 500. But
- 25:40for for what what I'm trading on NQ,
- 25:43it's more important to look at QQQ, not
- 25:46SPX
- 26:01because I was I was looking that up
- 26:03because I wanted to get um
- 26:06I wanted to get V signal. right,
- 26:09for the gamma levels, but they only
- 26:11offer SPX. So then I was like, can I use
- 26:13SPX gamma levels with with me trading
- 26:17NQ? I was like looking that up. Said you
- 26:20could, but it's not ideal. It's more
- 26:22ideal to
- 26:26to use QQQ.
- 26:32Although, it's probably not a bad idea
- 26:33to have it up.
- 26:36I just don't have that many screens.
- 26:40So, I got to pick and choose
- 26:50and Q traders looking at crypto.
- 26:56Yeah, the opens have been pretty lame
- 26:59recently.
- 27:03Like you probably had a bunch of people
- 27:05who watched this candle consolidate,
- 27:07started to see us break down and people
- 27:09tried to chase this right here
- 27:12and just got cooked.
- 27:18And then who knows? I mean, I'm not
- 27:20going to take any positions in here, but
- 27:22maybe people are like, "Oh no, that was
- 27:23the fake out and we're going long." And
- 27:24then like the market's going to we're
- 27:27going to start printing up here and then
- 27:28snap back.
- 27:31Well, it's not about getting It's not
- 27:33about getting more screens. It's about
- 27:37space,
- 27:38you know? Like I have a screen right
- 27:40here. You got a screen right here. I got
- 27:43a screen right here. I have a screen
- 27:45right here. I got one, two, three, four.
- 27:48I got four screens in an iPad right now.
- 27:51So, we'll call it five screens.
- 28:00And the only issue is like OBS and um
- 28:04OBS and Discord. Yeah, I'm screened out.
- 28:06I'm screened out. OBS and Discord take
- 28:10up part of that because I got to make
- 28:11sure the stream is chill
- 28:15and I got to read your guys' uh
- 28:18comments.
- 28:41Yeah, that's a good point, Broncos.
- 28:43That's a good point.
- 29:05>> [snorts]
- 29:39>> I think we we I think if we're going to
- 29:41continue with this like
- 29:44weird
- 29:46opening delivery, it may be a better
- 29:48idea to wait until the hourly candle
- 29:50closes and we have Dude, why is Jolts on
- 29:53a Friday?
- 30:02Isn't that usually on Tuesdays?
- 30:05Or am I tripping?
- 30:17Did we miss like jolts or something due
- 30:19to like a shutdown for a couple days?
- 31:22So, as we're pushing up here though,
- 31:27I'm watching between
- 31:29well, I'm watching around the 750 area
- 31:32and then if I'm watching between 800 and
- 31:34850
- 31:38to see if we're actually going to push
- 31:40through that. If we're just going to
- 31:41like push up into it and then turn back
- 31:44around
- 32:46Short limit at 839.
- 32:49It's a pretty good spot.
- 32:53I'll keep my eye on it.
- 32:57Did you set that one last night?
- 33:15Nice.
- 33:26Yeah, I'm watching that um area up
- 33:29there.
- 33:31Like if we push past this right now and
- 33:33we start pumping further
- 33:39between like 850 area and like
- 33:44I'm like watching this area actually a
- 33:47little higher
- 33:49like here.
- 33:52probably.
- 34:41Nice.
- 34:54Joseph and Choosy caught the longs.
- 35:00killing it.
- 35:04How big was that?
- 35:09Damn.
- 36:25Nice.
- 36:27Yeah, I'm just waiting.
- 36:36So, this this account that I'm on now is
- 36:39technically eligible for a payout, but
- 36:40it would put me kind of in a shitty
- 36:43position. So, I'm not going to take it.
- 36:46I'm going just wait for next week.
- 36:55And I have that other account I got to
- 36:57trade too.
- 37:15But I think I might wait for uh
- 37:20I think I might just wait for the Friday
- 37:23jolts.
- 37:26Wait for some jolts and some Michigan
- 37:28sentiment.
- 37:31See if we start moving around after
- 37:33that.
- 37:39Oh, it's all good. Chunky monkey
- 37:42750. Where is that?
- 37:51Why would your entry be all the way up
- 37:52here?
- 37:57Oh, targeting 800. Oh, gotcha.
- 38:42Yeah, that's what I'm watching right
- 38:44now, Broncos. But I just um
- 38:50I'm going just wait
- 39:17Yeah.
- 39:27Plus, I don't want to try and get into
- 39:29anything. Especially if you're going to
- 39:31try and like short it right here and
- 39:32then
- 39:34we mess around here for like
- 39:37I don't know until news and then news
- 39:40just rips it up.
- 40:01It's at 10:00 a.m. Eastern. For whatever
- 40:03reason, we have Jolts today and we have
- 40:06Michigan Sentiment.
- 40:08Michigan Sentiment is usually on
- 40:10Fridays, though, but Jolts is usually on
- 40:12Tuesdays.
- 40:17So, having them both at the same time is
- 40:18kind of weird. All right.
- 40:41You know, I've been thinking too is like
- 40:43to me it feels like these opens recently
- 40:45have been slow, but I was thinking about
- 40:48it for a little bit and I was wondering
- 40:50if um just like the past month if it's
- 40:53just been so high in terms of volatility
- 40:57that because technically The ATR on
- 41:00these candles is like 40 points right
- 41:02now for
- 41:06it. Just feels slow,
- 41:09which is weird.
- 41:21This entire week, the overnight the
- 41:23overnight sessions have been making the
- 41:25moves, the big ones.
- 41:31Like I think almost every day this week
- 41:33when I've drawn out a level I wanted to
- 41:35watch for during New York, it was hit
- 41:36during London.
- 41:39Perfect example of it is today. This
- 41:41one.
- 41:44I know this is a large ass area though,
- 41:46but still
- 41:52it's like an hourly level I have.
- 41:59Yeah, there was that uh two nights ago
- 42:02Asia had a really good move. I was
- 42:03waiting for us to
- 42:10I was waiting for us to break below this
- 42:12for like the longest time basically all
- 42:14week and then we did it during Asia.
- 43:20All right, we'll wait. We're 5 minutes
- 43:22away from uh news. We'll just wait.
- 47:16I hope that when this hourly candle
- 47:20comes out that we start like picking up
- 47:22some speed
- 47:24and direction.
- 47:28I mean, we will at first because it's
- 47:29news. I'm I'm assuming, but hope it
- 47:32continues.
- 48:23Bro,
- 48:26[laughter]
- 48:27that's what we waited for. Sick.
- 48:57That was a really weak
- 49:00I mean those are jolts in Michigan
- 49:02sentiment usually actually will usually
- 49:05push the market a little bit
- 49:09at least it does it it would like last
- 49:12month that was kind of like nothing.
- 49:18Look at the volume. Only 9,000 contracts
- 49:21traded in it.
- 49:27Very antilimatic.
- 50:24Order filled. I'm going to try out some
- 50:26shorts right here, but
- 50:30I want to see us dig deeper, but
- 50:36we may end up just like snapping around
- 50:38in a range.
- 50:41And I bottom tick. That seems to be a uh
- 50:45a recurring theme here.
- 50:48Bottom taking some [Â __Â ] in the wrong
- 50:51direction.
- 50:52Try and take it back towards the open.
- 50:56If we get a like a little push, I'm
- 50:59going to just have to move it to break
- 51:00even
- 51:04and I'm going to hold it towards opening
- 51:07price basically.
- 51:56Just in case my apexes got filled
- 51:58somewhere else, I'm going to actually
- 51:59move it right here
- 52:02so they don't get stopped out and like
- 52:06for a loss.
- 52:14Order filled.
- 52:16All right, it's fine.
- 52:28Honestly, if we continue having like
- 52:33this like slow uh
- 52:37PA, I'm probably just going to stop
- 52:41and I'll just come back on Monday.
- 53:17Well,
- 53:27one of the reasons why I moved my stop
- 53:28to break even is just cuz I was watching
- 53:31this right here.
- 53:33It's a low volume, this low volume node
- 53:36and the candle that pushed up initially.
- 53:39I needed to see it like
- 53:42really break past it,
- 53:46but we kind of started. We stole it out
- 53:48right there.
- 53:51We might still break past it and then
- 53:53come down here towards opening price
- 53:55again, which is
- 53:58right here. I think it's right here.
- 54:20I'm actually curious where it filled my
- 54:21top my Apex accounts. Okay, we're chill.
- 54:26We're chill.
- 56:39Bro, is anyone trading this right now?
- 56:44Technically, I could have kept my one to
- 56:47one.
- 56:51I'm just not I'm not feeling it.
- 56:55The NQ vibes are not there for me right
- 56:57now.
- 59:02All right,
- 59:04let's see if uh Oh, great. Now my data
- 59:07is getting delayed.
- 59:10All right, it's back.
- 59:16See if we start picking up some speed
- 59:18now.
- 59:23We actually do something.
- 59:46came right back. Oh, wait. This is
- 59:48opening prize.
- 1:00:53Damn the
- 1:00:56the short order the short limit order at
- 1:00:59839
- 1:01:01painful. Just a little little off.
- 1:01:06Might come up there later though.
- 1:01:15for big rig.
- 1:01:59So, right now on QQQ, we're just
- 1:02:01floating around 600.
- 1:02:08So, I'm trying to see if we're going to
- 1:02:12stay above 600, if we're going to start
- 1:02:14breaking below it.
- 1:03:43Thank you.
- 1:04:32I'm going to try and go long right here.
- 1:04:34>> Order filled.
- 1:04:38>> See if we're going to start pushing back
- 1:04:39up. My stop's just going to be at the
- 1:04:41bottom of this candle. I think if I get
- 1:04:43stopped out of it, I'm just going to
- 1:04:44stop trading.
- 1:05:02order filled.
- 1:05:05>> Cooked.
- 1:05:09All right. So,
- 1:05:16I'm up 347 on
- 1:05:20one account, this funded account,
- 1:05:24and then actually, we're going to wait a
- 1:05:27little bit. I'll sit here and I'll wait
- 1:05:29a little bit. I'm down 260
- 1:05:32on the other accounts.
- 1:07:18Uh, this is a five minute and this is 15
- 1:07:23minute.
- 1:07:24I'll change I'm going to change it to
- 1:07:26the five minute.
- 1:07:31I may I'm gonna wait for this five
- 1:07:34minute candle and then I'm
- 1:07:36Wait a second. Does this say I'm in a
- 1:07:38position right now? Hold on.
- 1:07:48Oh [Â __Â ]
- 1:07:53Wait, what?
- 1:08:01says that.
- 1:08:05Dude, it's tripping right now. Hold on.
- 1:08:07Let me disable this [Â __Â ]
- 1:08:10Let me just flatten everything.
- 1:08:13Says that the positions open on this
- 1:08:15account.
- 1:08:17I don't have a position open on this
- 1:08:19account.
- 1:08:23Kind
- 1:08:27of sketchy though, huh?
- 1:08:48It's throwing me off. It says I'm in an
- 1:08:50unrealized uh It says I have unrealized
- 1:08:52P&L right now
- 1:09:04on Apex. No, it says um
- 1:09:08so like I could see
- 1:09:11um unrealized PNO.
- 1:09:14I know you guys can't see it, but it's
- 1:09:16showing that the one that's in a
- 1:09:18position currently still is the Express
- 1:09:21account that I'm currently looking at on
- 1:09:24Project X, which
- 1:09:28it's not. You know what I mean? Like,
- 1:09:31does this account? It's not
- 1:09:44>> [snorts]
- 1:13:36>> Am I consistently profitable? [laughter]
- 1:13:41I'd say so.
- 1:13:45Yeah.
- 1:13:47Although I did I did like blow up some
- 1:13:49accounts uh at the beginning of this
- 1:13:51month, but we're back to having five
- 1:13:53funded, so
- 1:13:55we should be chill.
- 1:14:03Although [clears throat] this uh past
- 1:14:05couple weeks have been kind of rough for
- 1:14:06me because of the way New York opens
- 1:14:08been moving.
- 1:14:10So that's been going on.
- 1:14:43advice for someone who trades Eval good
- 1:14:48but the funded accounts horribly. Well,
- 1:14:52how are you trading your evals and
- 1:14:54what's your definition of trading them
- 1:14:56good?
- 1:15:02Dude, honestly, I hope that this thing
- 1:15:04goes down because that's going to be
- 1:15:05disappointing if I if I went long right
- 1:15:09here. What What was my position? I was
- 1:15:10like long right here with my stop like
- 1:15:13right here or something.
- 1:15:19[snorts]
- 1:15:23Well, yeah. I mean, it just depends how
- 1:15:24you're trading your evals. Like just
- 1:15:26because just because you uh passed your
- 1:15:29evals
- 1:15:32doesn't mean that you traded them good
- 1:15:34if that makes sense.
- 1:15:41So I guess it depends what you mean by
- 1:15:42good.
- 1:15:44Uh NQ NQ I should have
- 1:15:48given it a bigger stop loss maybe. Nah,
- 1:15:51not convinced. I'm I'm going to hope it
- 1:15:52[laughter]
- 1:15:53I'm going to hope it go. We do have the
- 1:15:5415-minute that's going to close pretty
- 1:15:56soon, which is also 30 minute. So,
- 1:15:58halfway through the the hourly, we're
- 1:16:00going to see if we pick up a little bit
- 1:16:02of speed. Today's been really slow,
- 1:16:05though, in my opinion.
- 1:16:26sticking to the rules. Good RR, but when
- 1:16:28I get past when I get on a funded, I
- 1:16:31take like 20 trades a day.
- 1:16:36Well, I know I know this is
- 1:16:40you said you want advice. I know this is
- 1:16:42probably not what you want to hear, but
- 1:16:46stop doing that.
- 1:16:48Like, I don't know what what you know
- 1:16:50what I mean. Like you're probably
- 1:16:51thinking about your funded account too
- 1:16:53hard.
- 1:16:55You're like, Glenn, it gets to your
- 1:16:57head. Going going going from three
- 1:16:59trades a day on an EVO
- 1:17:02to going to 20 trades a day on your
- 1:17:05funded account. You're trading it
- 1:17:07completely differently.
- 1:17:11So it's like why why are you doing that?
- 1:17:12Well, probably because you see that
- 1:17:15you're in a funded account, your heart's
- 1:17:16racing. You're like, "Oh, I can actually
- 1:17:18make money." And then you just start
- 1:17:19making like emotional decisions.
- 1:17:24How about you just try moving forward on
- 1:17:26your funded accounts to
- 1:17:30limit yourself to three trades a day
- 1:17:33just like you were with your evals.
- 1:17:51But yeah, I mean, you obviously know
- 1:17:52what the problem is, right?
- 1:17:55There's only so much I can tell you. It
- 1:17:56really just comes down to you just to to
- 1:18:00kind of stop self-sabotaging yourself.
- 1:18:09I don't know what firm you're using, but
- 1:18:11some firms have those um
- 1:18:20some firm some firms have those
- 1:18:22platforms with like the risk settings.
- 1:18:26I mean, you can try and utilize those,
- 1:18:28you know what I mean?
- 1:18:34To protect yourself from yourself.
- 1:18:54Should you switch to Topep? I mean, you
- 1:18:57should use whatever firm you want to
- 1:18:59use. I use Topep, but I also use other
- 1:19:02firms, too.
- 1:19:11The main thing I'm looking for when I'm
- 1:19:12trading a prop firm is just like
- 1:19:16end of day draw down,
- 1:19:18a decent payout
- 1:19:20cap if possible,
- 1:19:24be able to pass in a day or two. Damn,
- 1:19:27dude. I uh
- 1:19:30that sucks.
- 1:19:34It took me out.
- 1:19:41I just went in a little too early.
- 1:19:44Just need to wait for that last push
- 1:19:46down
- 1:19:55>> or had a bigger stop. But
- 1:20:21How big is it from where I entered?
- 1:20:33like 50 points.
- 1:20:36How big was my stop?
- 1:20:4025 points basically.
- 1:20:44Fried.
- 1:20:48What up, Rocket?
- 1:21:07All right, I think I'm going to just
- 1:21:08stop.
- 1:21:10Not feeling it. Although,
- 1:21:14just a little bit of a recap.
- 1:21:18We were coming I forgot where I Where
- 1:21:20did I try and go short? I think it was
- 1:21:22right here.
- 1:21:24Went short somewhere here. We went like
- 1:21:2625 points in profit and then it hit me
- 1:21:28at break even. I tried to go long right
- 1:21:31here.
- 1:21:32Took it a little bit early.
- 1:21:35Um had like a 25 point stop.
- 1:21:39Made a last push down. Then it made us
- 1:21:41move up.
- 1:21:44We're down. We're up $347
- 1:21:46on this account, this Topstep account.
- 1:21:49And then we're down like 250 260 on the
- 1:21:52other ones.
- 1:21:55I have a meeting in a little bit, so I'm
- 1:21:57probably just going to uh call it a day.
- 1:22:00So I'll be back on Monday. If you're
- 1:22:03going to continue trade, just be
- 1:22:05careful.
- 1:22:06We'll catch you guys later.
