- 0:25My bad. Hold on. Give me a second, guys.
- 0:46All right.
- 0:51Will you paste it on screen like
- 0:53masterclass? Absolutely not. That was
- 0:56just it's just that's a terrible way to
- 0:58do a giveaway.
- 1:00You know what I mean? I just didn't have
- 1:02any other way to do it. So
- 1:08[laughter] yeah, it was probably the
- 1:09worst way to do a giveaway.
- 1:13Dude, we we have been in this
- 1:17we've been contained below 30,000 for a
- 1:19while.
- 1:24So we have the same level. I'm watching
- 1:26the same level this morning that I was
- 1:28watching yesterday. basically between
- 1:29900 and 950.
- 1:34If we c if we can actually accept above
- 1:36it and we can get above it, then
- 1:40um we're going to start making our way
- 1:43back up towards the monthly ceiling. But
- 1:47the overnight balanced out this week has
- 1:49been
- 1:52pretty tough. I'm going to be real. It's
- 1:55been a tough week this week. Yesterday's
- 1:57price action was probably
- 2:01the worst New York AM session price
- 2:04action I've seen in like uh
- 2:08in a little while.
- 2:10I'm sure the prop firms loved yesterday.
- 2:13They probably made a bunch of money,
- 2:15bunch of resets.
- 2:19[snorts]
- 2:21So, pre-market [clears throat] we're
- 2:22opening up in here. In the event that we
- 2:25start accepting below back below the
- 2:28800s, I think we're going to come take
- 2:29data lows and make our way back down in
- 2:31a discount. But
- 2:35I am kind of cautious this morning about
- 2:37us potentially just
- 2:40rotating again,
- 2:43which would suck, but
- 2:48it's kind of um base scenario, base
- 2:51case, utter chaos. Yeah, my bad, bro. I
- 2:55uh don't worry if you guys are new here
- 2:59and you don't know how we do giveaways.
- 3:01Everybody gets a chance. It's very easy
- 3:04to enter. You just literally click a
- 3:06green button when I
- 3:09or we do a duck race.
- 3:12But
- 3:15I'm going have [snorts] to tell the
- 3:16YouTube chat to join
- 3:20because it's only for people in the
- 3:21Discord.
- 3:23because it's the only way I could run
- 3:24the bot, realistically run the bot for
- 3:26the giveaway.
- 3:31So, I have um I have this IQ Capital
- 3:34funded account, but
- 3:39I'm going to be careful today. I think I
- 3:40might trade some evals to be honest this
- 3:43morning.
- 3:45I got I got whooped this week. We're
- 3:48currently in a red week for me.
- 3:58But it's not the end of the world.
- 4:01If you have made if you are having a
- 4:04good week this week, congratulations
- 4:06because I think it's been a relatively
- 4:08tough week, at least for the way that I
- 4:11trade.
- 4:22So, we'll see what happens here at the
- 4:23open. But
- 4:26I was nervous. I was nervous I wasn't
- 4:28going to have any accounts to give away
- 4:30to the community,
- 4:32but we got them. Actually, we got we got
- 4:34them like five minutes before I started
- 4:36the stream. They hit me with them, which
- 4:38is great.
- 4:40Also,
- 4:43dude, that IQ Capital interview got it's
- 4:45at like 70,000 views in the first 48
- 4:48hours. That's pretty crazy.
- 4:52I'm almost at 10K subs, by the way. 10K
- 4:56subs on YouTube. Maybe we'll do
- 4:57something for that.
- 5:00Maybe we'll do some type of uh giveaway
- 5:03or something. I don't know.
- 5:06But 10k 10k subs that's that's a
- 5:09milestone.
- 5:13You have blown 15 accounts unfunded
- 5:16next.
- 5:18Well,
- 5:23let's turn that around, brother. Let's
- 5:26turn it around.
- 5:29We did leave data loads from yesterday.
- 5:31Yes.
- 5:34Does your heart start racing and do you
- 5:36get nervous every time you enter a
- 5:38trade? No.
- 5:52Commando, I have a
- 5:56I have um let me explain something to
- 5:59you. I actually have a video about how I
- 6:02make my pre-market plans. And then I
- 6:05also have um if you join the community,
- 6:08there should be a link in the YouTube
- 6:09description. If you join the community,
- 6:11I I send out daily outlooks every single
- 6:14morning.
- 6:17I'll give you I'll show you.
- 6:22Okay. I send daily outlooks every day.
- 6:25So
- 6:28I have upside downside and rotational
- 6:30scenarios and areas that I'm watching
- 6:32for
- 6:35and also
- 6:39um
- 6:45I've been cooking this I've been cooking
- 6:48this up.
- 6:52You guys can't really see it here. I'll
- 6:54show you actually right now.
- 7:01I've been cooking. We've been vibe
- 7:04coding.
- 7:07We've been vibe coding. I read these
- 7:09every morning.
- 7:15It's I made that by the way. But
- 7:20we have been cooking them.
- 7:29Hold on. I got to
- 7:31put this back.
- 7:44Do you know your rough spent on the 59k
- 7:46payouts year-to- date? Yes, I do. You
- 7:49have to keep track of it. Uh, it's
- 7:51probably I haven't looked I don't know
- 7:53the exact number, but it's on a it's on
- 7:55a sheet.
- 7:57Honestly, this year started off pretty
- 7:59strong and then I just started getting
- 8:01whooped a little bit to be honest. So,
- 8:04I've probably spent like um $12,000.
- 8:08So, really not a lot or really not a lot
- 8:11in terms of profit. I mean,
- 8:13because and then also, you know, some
- 8:16stuff happened, but no, no excuses. It
- 8:18should be more than that. It should be
- 8:20more.
- 8:23So, not too happy, but we still got
- 8:26enough time in the year to turn it
- 8:27around.
- 8:29So,
- 8:34Still got enough time in the year to
- 8:36turn it around. Although I'm probably
- 8:39not really going to trade a lot of
- 8:40December.
- 8:44I I may be MIA.
- 8:47December. I I got a bunch of stuff I got
- 8:49to do. I might be moving. I'm going to
- 8:51be traveling.
- 8:55So, we may take it easy in December. But
- 8:58we still got Although I've been getting
- 9:00whooped this month. This might be the
- 9:01the second worst month of uh for me.
- 9:06I got whooped in May and I got wh I'm
- 9:08getting whooped this month,
- 9:14but we still got like almost three
- 9:15weeks. So, or two weeks. Where do I
- 9:19currently live? In California.
- 9:24[snorts]
- 9:30Yeah, I can turn things around. It
- 9:31should I should be
- 9:34[clears throat] realistically I should
- 9:35have been probably closer to
- 9:39as of right now with the current spend
- 9:41that I that I did spend I I should
- 9:43probably be closer to like 75k in
- 9:45payouts, but I I fumbled some of them. I
- 9:48also got rug pulled from a firm. Um
- 9:53but that one really wasn't that much. It
- 9:55was probably a few a couple thousand,
- 9:58but it kind of pissed me off. I'm I'm
- 9:59going be real.
- 10:02They got me. They hit me with some
- 10:04psychological warfare.
- 10:07[laughter] They got me.
- 10:16How do you not get nervous when you take
- 10:18Yeah, I do. I am going to give away some
- 10:20IQ accounts today. Shout out IQ Capital.
- 10:22I got to put up their banner on um you
- 10:25guys are probably going to see me on
- 10:26some of their content. They're going to
- 10:28do some pretty cool videos. I'm going to
- 10:29go uh participate in them.
- 10:35But um how do you not get nervous when
- 10:36you take a trade? Well,
- 10:40if you're getting nervous when you take
- 10:42a trade,
- 10:43you're probably sizing kind of heavy to
- 10:45be honest.
- 10:50Which firm exposed them? Alpha Futures.
- 10:54L Alpha Futures.
- 10:56L firm.
- 11:01Lirm.
- 11:03Although, you know what? They've they
- 11:05never had an issue with paying Well,
- 11:08wait, hold on. Before that happened,
- 11:10they never had an issue with paying me
- 11:11out.
- 11:13And I'm very net positive with that
- 11:16firm. So, we can have a clean breakup.
- 11:20We can break I would be upset though if
- 11:22they did that and I wasn't positive with
- 11:24the firm.
- 11:28That would have bothered me more. But
- 11:29you know what? Like
- 11:32scoreboard one for me, zero for Well,
- 11:35they try to get me, but
- 11:39it's whatever.
- 11:43The Matrix.
- 11:47Yeah, Sam's Club. That's basically like
- 11:49they're going to make videos like that.
- 11:53So, I'm going to participate in them. I
- 11:57think they should be pretty good. They
- 11:58have a really good um
- 12:01their YouTube's probably going to blow
- 12:03up. They have uh some really cool
- 12:04interviews coming out pretty soon from
- 12:06some traders you guys all know. And I
- 12:09think they're going to be pretty good.
- 12:10So,
- 12:13all right, let's see what we do. We're
- 12:14kind of opening up here in the 900 950
- 12:16area.
- 12:18So, we want to see if we're actually
- 12:19going to start getting above here. So,
- 12:21we can start probing uh 30,000 30,100.
- 12:24But if we fail, we're
- 12:34we open up and just immediately push
- 12:36down.
- 12:38[snorts]
- 13:14I'm trying to see right now if we're
- 13:15going uh [clears throat]
- 13:17if this move down's about to fail and
- 13:18we're about to start ripping it to the
- 13:19upside.
- 13:28Amen.
- 13:48Amen.
- 14:10Amen.
- 14:21What up, Christian?
- 15:11I'm not necessarily convinced in this
- 15:13move down yet. [clears throat]
- 15:32If we start flipping bullish on this
- 15:33fivem minute, the only thing is that we
- 15:35are in this area that I'm watching. So,
- 15:39we truly won't really have that.
- 15:43We would still need to be careful about
- 15:45950, but there is enough room where we
- 15:47could probably move it break even.
- 16:23All
- 16:38right, I'm actually going to try some
- 16:40longs right here.
- 16:43Stop loss is going to have to be pretty
- 16:45wide, though.
- 16:48And once we do start approaching
- 16:51the 950 area, I'm going to have to move
- 16:55it to break even.
- 16:58But it but what I'm looking for right
- 17:00now is for us to get past 950 to start
- 17:03making our way into the 30,000s again.
- 17:07We watched sellers step in immediately
- 17:08at the open and they just were getting
- 17:10absorbed and we're starting to flip
- 17:11bullish to the upside.
- 17:18Actually, this is on my funded account
- 17:20by the way.
- 17:28Let's hope we don't snap back and chop
- 17:30at the open.
- 17:34We we should hold above 900 if this is
- 17:38going to continue higher.
- 17:54So, we're pushing past 950. I don't want
- 17:58to see a failure here. I'm going to
- 17:59actually move this to uh break even.
- 18:03[clears throat]
- 18:04And then once we start approaching
- 18:0530,000, I'm going to begin to trail the
- 18:08stop pretty tightly because that's the
- 18:10monthly ceiling around 30,000
- 18:1430,100.
- 18:24Let's see if we can finally have a good
- 18:25day today. I'm getting whooped, bro.
- 18:30Let's get some follow through. So, we're
- 18:32approaching 30,000. When we take these
- 18:33orders here, I'm going to start trailing
- 18:35stop pretty tight just to lock in the
- 18:37day.
- 18:45I took this on two accounts. So, I took
- 18:47this on this funded account and I'm also
- 18:49in on my live account.
- 18:52I'mma show Well, I'm gonna show you guys
- 18:54that in a second. I just got to focus on
- 18:55this right now. Both B both of them are
- 18:57at break even.
- 19:02We're about
- 19:0475 points in profit right now.
- 19:09All right, we just took all the orders
- 19:11that were sitting here.
- 19:14I'm going to start trailing this one
- 19:16pretty tight right below 30,000. lock in
- 19:19650 on the um
- 19:25we might run it today. I think we might
- 19:28run it up to 30,100.
- 19:34Let's go. Let's go. I'm actually going
- 19:37to take off two right here and then
- 19:40we'll leave the stop right below 30,000.
- 19:43Live account right now is currently
- 19:45here. Let me show you.
- 19:48live account right now is currently
- 19:50running 740 in profit. I'm also going to
- 19:53trail this as well
- 19:56below 30,000. So, we'll lock in 500 on
- 20:00the live account. I want to see us
- 20:02continue through full target's going to
- 20:05be
- 20:07sitting around. It's 30,110 is full
- 20:10target.
- 20:16We'll actually front run it. I'm going
- 20:18to front run uh the TP to 30,94 full TP
- 20:24on both of these.
- 20:26I'm going to be real though. If we run
- 20:28this right now, I'm done. This is the
- 20:29only thing I'm going to do today.
- 20:32[snorts] Well, you know what? I'm
- 20:33probably done anyways. I I'll I'll kick
- 20:35it. I'll hang out for a bit.
- 20:38Um,
- 20:42maybe I'll trade some evals because I
- 20:44was going to trade Evals, but this was
- 20:45looking pretty good for for our funded
- 20:48accounts
- 20:52in our live account.
- 20:55Actually, on the live account, I'm going
- 20:57to scale out a contract right here
- 21:01and let the rest of it ride.
- 21:08Did any of you guys take that with me?
- 21:24Cool. He was in earlier too. Awesome.
- 22:19See what happens.
- 22:27I would love for us to actually get out
- 22:29of this area. Like we've been stuck
- 22:31below 30,100 for um
- 22:36a month.
- 22:39I think the PA should probably get
- 22:41better once we start getting past it. It
- 22:44doesn't mean like in either direction. I
- 22:46just we've been kind of like
- 22:47consolidating in this area. We were
- 22:50getting stuck all week below 900s.
- 22:54which was slightly frustrating.
- 23:13What platform am I using?
- 23:17That's that's the question of the year,
- 23:19huh? Question of the year. What
- 23:21platform?
- 23:24I use deep charts and I use ATS.
- 23:28I use both of them.
- 23:32Why not?
- 23:36This is this is deep chart. This is a
- 23:39test
- 23:43stops going right below stacked
- 23:45imbalance. So around 994
- 23:50994
- 23:51and we're just going to hold it for full
- 23:53TP.
- 23:57And then guess what?
- 24:00We got accounts to give away. Wow, what
- 24:02a day.
- 24:06We open up
- 24:12and we just rip.
- 24:36If this flips bullish, I'm trailing
- 24:38below failed sellers here. But if it
- 24:40hits us out, we'll lock in about 700 on
- 24:44um
- 24:51the funded and uh
- 25:00I'm actually going to trail it right
- 25:01now. Trailing it to 30,7.
- 25:08Lock in a little bit more. See if we can
- 25:11flip it back to the upside. If not, uh,
- 25:14where is our entry on this? Whoops.
- 25:229040.
- 25:33We'll get out right here. 100 points
- 25:38about a 2.5R
- 25:41unless it runs to full TP.
- 25:46Be about a 4R.
- 26:24Cool.
- 26:25All right. So, we're up 800 on this IQ
- 26:28Capital funded account. I am up on my
- 26:31live account this morning.
- 26:34$536.
- 26:38Good stuff.
- 26:43Now we I'll I'll switch over to Evo and
- 26:48just sit here for a bit. That was a
- 26:50pretty quick morning this morning.
- 26:54Come on. Let's get some W's in the chat
- 26:55for 100 points off the off the open
- 26:57before the before the 15minute chart
- 27:01even 15-minute candle even closed.
- 27:04I hope some of you guys caught that.
- 27:14Dude, we needed that. I've been getting
- 27:16whooped in the opening chop like for a
- 27:18week.
- 27:21It's freaking terrible.
- 27:23Like two weeks, actually.
- 27:30It's been It's been devastating.
- 27:41Can you explain why you took this trade?
- 27:44Sure.
- 27:47So,
- 27:48[snorts]
- 27:52for um well, let's leave this on here
- 27:55for now.
- 27:57For the past 2 days, we've been
- 28:00struggling to get past 900 to 950. At
- 28:04the open, we opened up and immediately
- 28:07pushed down. We didn't even make a wick
- 28:08to the upside. Didn't even make a wick
- 28:11to the upside. We immediately pushed
- 28:13down and we were watching to see whether
- 28:16or not that selling aggression was
- 28:17actually going to result in any type of
- 28:19price progression. Right. Well, they
- 28:22were getting absorbed.
- 28:25Oo, just gave my gave my stop loss a
- 28:28little kiss on the cheek. It's all
- 28:30right, though. Um,
- 28:33they pushed down. They're stalling,
- 28:34stalling, stalling, getting absorbed,
- 28:36getting absorbed, and then we started
- 28:37pushing back aggressively with the
- 28:38buyers. The moment we flip bullish, I'm
- 28:40going long because this area up here,
- 28:44wow, what a bummer. Whatever. Uh, this
- 28:47area up here is the monthly ceiling. And
- 28:50chances are we're probably if we're not
- 28:53going to be able to actually push down.
- 28:55This is where we're headed to,
- 28:58which is we're running it out right now.
- 29:18I will say though, this is going to I
- 29:20want to see if we're actually going to
- 29:21break above this right now.
- 29:25This was the target for this morning.
- 29:3030,110
- 30:06What a nice move, dude.
- 30:15What a what a breath of fresh air, NQ.
- 30:18I've been feeling I've started started
- 30:20looking at I I I started looking at gold
- 30:22yesterday.
- 30:28Feel like NQ NQ is being mean. It was
- 30:32being disgusting the the past week or
- 30:35so.
- 30:38We're Today we're back.
- 30:44So I I am watching here. If we can
- 30:47actually accept above 30,110, we may
- 30:50just
- 30:53continue this to the upside.
- 30:56And if I were you guys, I would not try
- 30:59and call the top of this.
- 31:04But you can do whatever you want. Not
- 31:06financial advice.
- 31:56We're poking our head out of it now.
- 31:58Look. Check it out.
- 32:02Finally.
- 32:06Finally.
- 32:09Now, let's see if it holds, though. I
- 32:11mean, that's the real question. Is it
- 32:12going to hold?
- 32:17And I'm happy we were able to catch
- 32:19that. I've been looking for that move.
- 32:21Like, I've been looking for that move to
- 32:23happen for like
- 32:26a while.
- 32:44Well, let's see.
- 32:47Sorry. I'll I know you guys are asking
- 32:49questions. I'll answer them in a second.
- 32:53I'm just
- 32:55market's moving. We got We got to pay
- 32:57attention a little bit. I still got some
- 33:00evals I got to trade.
- 33:03Yeah, I also thought CPI was going to
- 33:05give the move that that I thought CPI
- 33:07was going to do this, right? Was going
- 33:09to help this happened yesterday and it
- 33:12did completely the opposite.
- 33:15I did a bunch of nothing.
- 33:34Well, it seems like all of us had a uh
- 33:36had a good day today. Looks like you
- 33:37guys all caught the long. So,
- 33:53Wow, we almost have 200 people on the
- 33:55YouTube live stream. What up? What up
- 33:57everybody?
- 33:58Also, since you're all here right now, I
- 34:02have some accounts I'm going to give
- 34:03away.
- 34:05But
- 34:07if you want to win the account, you have
- 34:09to join the Discord. Go in the
- 34:12description below, join. It's a free
- 34:15community. You guys can just join. We're
- 34:17right there. And then um
- 34:23if you're in the Discord and you're in
- 34:24the Discord call like in cuz I stream in
- 34:27Discord. It's honestly if you guys are
- 34:29going to watch me trade, it's probably a
- 34:30better idea to watch me in Discord
- 34:32because there's not as much of a delay
- 34:35and it's free and I give my outlooks in
- 34:39there.
- 34:40So, um
- 34:44I'm gonna give it counts away in a
- 34:46second.
- 34:49Not in a second. I'm going to give
- 34:50accounts away in a little bit, but we
- 34:52have some accounts from Funded Futures
- 34:55Network. Shout out Funded Futures
- 34:57Network for their generosity of giving

- 35:14They gave me accounts to give away
- 35:16because I love all you guys.
- 35:19So, we'll give one of those. We'll give
- 35:21two accounts away today.
- 35:29Honestly, the IQ Capital uh accounts are
- 35:32kind of at first I I didn't know how I
- 35:35felt about the position loss rule, but
- 35:38it's pretty dope, dude. If you if you
- 35:40have like a 100k um 100k account like
- 35:44this this funded account with IQ Capital
- 35:47that I just traded this long on right
- 35:48now. It's a uh 100k
- 35:52and um
- 35:56dude it's $6,000 a draw down on a 100k
- 36:00account. It's literally a one to one.
- 36:03It's crazy.
- 36:05Is there a trade recap?
- 36:08Uh
- 36:11yeah, Jam, did you just did you just get
- 36:13in here because um
- 36:16we took longs.
- 36:20We took Okay, you just got in here. All
- 36:22right, so I'll I'll I'll explain it
- 36:24again for you.
- 36:27So this morning, the outlook said this.
- 36:29Okay,
- 36:32this is the thought process for you
- 36:34guys.
- 36:36upside. If buyers are able to accept
- 36:38past 900 to 950, we're going to look for
- 36:40us to revisit the 30,100 monthly
- 36:42ceiling. This is only valid if we accept
- 36:45through this area with with not just a
- 36:48wick, with actual actual acceptance,
- 36:50right? So, we push up into it
- 36:53pre-market. I made that outlook when we
- 36:55were sitting down here. We push up into
- 36:57it pre-market. We're holding pre-market
- 36:59right before the open. The opens up and
- 37:03immediately pushes down. So, when this
- 37:07candle opened up, we immediately start
- 37:09pushing down. We're watching selling
- 37:11aggression stepping in. I'm watching a
- 37:13delta chart. So, I'm watching this. I'm
- 37:18looking at delta. I'm seeing sellers get
- 37:20incredibly aggressive at the extremes of
- 37:22this this candle. We're stalling out in
- 37:25this area. And then on the way back up,
- 37:27while this candle begins to flip, we
- 37:30start seeing aggressive buying start
- 37:32stepping in. So, when this candle begins
- 37:34to flip bullish
- 37:36and we're holding 900, the way that we
- 37:38held it, we have sellers trying to get
- 37:40below 900, they fail, we hold above it.
- 37:44Then at that point, I'm looking for us
- 37:47to basically squeeze it towards the
- 37:48target, which is
- 37:51fortunately what we did. Um,
- 37:56we did trail stop a little bit. So, I'm
- 37:59okay with trailing stop on the funded
- 38:00account. Although on my live account, I
- 38:02probably should have held it.
- 38:06I probably shouldn't have trailed the
- 38:07stop on my live account. That was
- 38:08slightly a mistake, but that's
- 38:11hindsight, you know. Um,
- 38:14I will say that this area in general
- 38:20has been
- 38:22the Great Wall of China for a month.
- 38:26Um, and I I would have hated for us to
- 38:29come up here and slam all the way back
- 38:30down and we locked in 100 points. But it
- 38:34is something to note though that like if
- 38:36we are going to break through it will
- 38:39and we're going to accept out of it,
- 38:40we're probably going to continue. So it
- 38:42it it might end up being something that
- 38:46we just
- 38:48we make a large move up, right? We maybe
- 38:51retrace a little bit.
- 38:53how wherever we retrace maybe to 30,000
- 38:56maybe to 30,100 whatever and then we
- 38:59just kind of enter this like slow grind
- 39:02to the upside
- 39:06or we retrace, drop it all the way back
- 39:09and then just start chopping.
- 39:13But it looks like it's going to continue
- 39:15to the upside. Every single time sellers
- 39:17have stepped in so far, they've just
- 39:18been getting absolutely demolished.
- 39:23So
- 39:24yeah, I'd recommend um
- 39:28if you guys are sitting here, do not
- 39:31think to yourself like
- 39:34don't don't sit here and be like, "Oh,
- 39:36the market's gone up too much. It's got
- 39:38to come down now,
- 39:41I'll send flowers to your funeral, to
- 39:44your account's funeral.
- 39:54Dude, in the past I used to I used to do
- 39:56that. Like let's say we're dropping and
- 39:58I'm like, "Oh, we drop way too much.
- 40:00We're pumping. We pump way too much.
- 40:14PA will respect the second fair value
- 40:16gap but disrespect the first
- 40:20fair value gaps.
- 40:24You think it's going to disrespect this
- 40:27and respect this? Why?
- 40:30What's the reasoning behind that?
- 40:38the almighty fair value gap.
- 40:42Fair value gap.
- 40:46Honestly, if we're going to talk about
- 40:48fair value gaps and you're talking about
- 40:50which one's going to hold, this is
- 40:52probably going to hold here.
- 40:56If I just had to make a guess, this is
- 40:59going to hold
- 41:01rather than this. I mean, if we come
- 41:03down, sure, but this is going to hold.
- 41:07If we if we disrespect this and we pump
- 41:10through this, that's actually I
- 41:14probably be less confident in trying to
- 41:16take longs. I think at that point, we'd
- 41:18probably be rebalancing this move up and
- 41:20then entering into a chop.
- 41:23[snorts]
- 41:25Man, we should have held that. We should
- 41:27have held that on a live account. We
- 41:28could have hit a banger today.
- 41:31We could have hit a banger.
- 41:43Look, nothing nothing wrong. All right.
- 41:45You know what? I know
- 41:49I know um
- 41:53ICT and orderflow community.
- 41:58Why do traders hate each other, man? If
- 41:59we make money, we make money. We're not,
- 42:01you know, let's just all kumbaya, homie.
- 42:05Let's just all uh let's just all make
- 42:08some money. I don't care what your
- 42:11strategy is. If you make money doing it,
- 42:13good for you.
- 42:15The only thing I will just stand on and
- 42:17I will not let go is
- 42:21you cannot tell me
- 42:25that there's something called the enigma
- 42:27that this dude coded that runs the
- 42:29market. Get out of here if you believe
- 42:31that.
- 42:35Shame. Shame on you.
- 42:39[laughter]
- 42:40But if you trade ICT concepts and you
- 42:42make money doing it, well, awesome. You
- 42:46know, a lot, just so you guys know,
- 42:49ICT concepts are not, he didn't invent a
- 42:52lot of that stuff. [laughter]
- 42:54A lot of it actually a lot of it has to
- 42:56do with auction market theory and then
- 42:59all the other things that he rebranded
- 43:02were already existing concepts.
- 43:08Although I do think um
- 43:15I don't believe I I know algos are in
- 43:17the market of course but there's this
- 43:21like idea of there's a singular
- 43:24algorithm called the enigma that runs
- 43:28the entire
- 43:31market. Like bro what?
- 43:36and he coded it.
- 43:39Dude, I will say ICT though,
- 43:43dude is a legend. He created a cult
- 43:46following.
- 43:48You can't knock that. Like that is
- 43:51impressive.
- 43:52He took existing concepts, rebranded
- 43:56them, made it sound like a science, and
- 43:58built a massive cult following off of
- 44:00it.
- 44:03He should be studied.
- 44:05It's amazing.
- 44:08So, here here's our plan. We're going to
- 44:10take orderflow concepts. We're going to
- 44:12um we're going to rename them.
- 44:16I'm going to name I'm going to brand it
- 44:18as a
- 44:20we'll call it a a thrax node.
- 44:25Um
- 44:27and then we'll just package it up and
- 44:31sell it to the masses.
- 44:37>> [laughter]
- 44:39>> No, but you know what? I have friends
- 44:40who trade ICT and they're very
- 44:42successful traders, very successful.
- 44:46So I I you know, as funny as you know,
- 44:48we kind of crack jokes and stuff, but
- 44:54whatever makes money, bro, is you know,
- 44:56good for you.
- 45:08Making fun money is different than
- 45:09living money. That's a valid point.
- 45:21Level two is more fun. I don't know. I
- 45:23like I mean there's
- 45:26there's a lot of ways to trade, you
- 45:28know. I know Orflow is getting popular
- 45:30is well got really popular.
- 45:33Um
- 45:35I just like my brain likes how I can
- 45:39look at information.
- 45:43It's just easy for me to understand.
- 45:50Did I catch the buy? I caught 100 points
- 45:52of it and then it pumped another 100
- 45:54points.
- 45:57We could have hit a banger on the live
- 45:59account.
- 46:00>> I would have been up like $1,000,
- 46:03$1,500 probably on the live account.
- 46:06[snorts]
- 46:08And you know what? I'm going to v I'm
- 46:10going to Vegas later. Not today, but
- 46:15that would have been nice. I would have
- 46:16taken some money [laughter] money out of
- 46:18my uh out of my live account when go hit
- 46:20the bakarat.
- 46:23hit the bakar with with the Chinese anks
- 46:28[laughter]
- 46:30at the MGM mansion. In the high limit
- 46:33room at the mansions, you sit down at
- 46:35Bakarat. You find you find a wise old
- 46:37Chinese man smoking a cigarette. You
- 46:38just tail him.
- 46:42[laughter]
- 46:49That's like saying Jim Jones was an
- 46:51amazing [laughter] cult leader.
- 46:56I'm just talking in terms of marketing,
- 46:58bro. Like, I'm just like I'm just
- 46:59talking in terms of marketing. He's he's
- 47:02a good marketer. [snorts]
- 47:08Honestly, there's probably nothing else
- 47:10this morning that I'm going to be able
- 47:11to trade. That That was it. either you
- 47:14took it and you held it or
- 47:18you took it and took your profits
- 47:22there pro there might be a move during
- 47:25um later on but for now I think there's
- 47:28really nothing I can do.
- 47:35So
- 47:41here's what I'll do. I'll sit here.
- 47:43Yeah, NQ still has room to the upside.
- 47:46Yes, I I 100% agree.
- 47:51So, I'll sit here and I'll answer some
- 47:53of your guys' questions. Although, I'm
- 47:55not going to sit here and do like a full
- 47:56master class of stuff, but I'll answer
- 47:58some questions.
- 48:01What was your aha moment?
- 48:04There was no aha moment. There was just
- 48:06a rock bottom.
- 48:08>> [laughter]
- 48:09>> There was just a rock bottom.
- 48:18I think that whole idea about like
- 48:22one day everything is just going to
- 48:23click is bull.
- 48:26It's bull. That does not happen. It
- 48:29didn't h Well, maybe it does. Maybe
- 48:31maybe one night you go to sleep and you
- 48:32wake up in the morning and you're just
- 48:34you go from being unprofitable and you
- 48:35just sort of like ah I understand now
- 48:39I'm gonna be profitable. I don't really
- 48:41think it works like that. But you know
- 48:43if that that happened to you then
- 48:46awesome. Took a while though.
- 48:50Trial and error and we're still still
- 48:54working on it.
- 49:00Why don't you trade only your live
- 49:02account when you capitalize on your when
- 49:04you can capitalize on your knowledge?
- 49:07Dude,
- 49:08the R the return on investment that you
- 49:12can get from prop firms cannot be beat.
- 49:16It cannot be beat by live accounts.
- 49:24Think about it like this, okay?
- 49:29I'll give you an example. In January,
- 49:31okay, in January of this year, I spent
- 49:34on profits, I spent
- 49:37$800
- 49:39on accounts, okay?
- 49:42And
- 49:46that month I pulled in in payouts, I had
- 49:49more in the P&L, but that month in
- 49:51payouts was like n like almost $19,000
- 49:54in payouts for January.
- 49:56So, like imagine you you basically took
- 49:59an $800 investment and turned it into,
- 50:01you know, 19 grand. Try and do that in a
- 50:04live account. You can't.
- 50:06So,
- 50:08the opportunity that prop firms allow
- 50:12for return on investment will never be
- 50:15beaten
- 50:16until they start changing all the stuff
- 50:19up, which they will, but
- 50:22for now, it's way better than a live
- 50:24account, honestly. Yeah. Is it annoying?
- 50:26You got to pass evals and follow rules.
- 50:30Yeah, but
- 50:32if you don't have like a ton of capital
- 50:36because it's like this, okay? If you're
- 50:38going to make any type of money and
- 50:40you're going to trade a live account,
- 50:43you need some money in there. You know
- 50:45what I mean? It's not you're you're
- 50:47probably not going to have a fun time um
- 50:52throwing $500,000 in at a time into a
- 50:55live account and then trying to make
- 50:57actual money with that.
- 51:00It's just not sustainable. You You would
- 51:02have to Is it possible? Of course. But
- 51:05you would have to have like a good
- 51:07amount of money. Like I think honestly
- 51:09if you want to be able to make money
- 51:10from a live account, like decent money,
- 51:14you'd probably need
- 51:18if you're going to trade micros with
- 51:20this volatility, you'd probably need
- 51:21like the bare bare minimum
- 51:28like 5 to 10 grand. But if you uh if you
- 51:33want to actually like follow proper risk
- 51:35management and you'd have to be
- 51:37aggressive. But if you want to follow uh
- 51:39proper risk management, you probably
- 51:41need if you want to make any money, you
- 51:42probably need like 25K in there in my
- 51:45opinion.
- 51:48But but
- 51:53AMP Futures does offer $300 margins on
- 51:56minis for NQ. So
- 52:00take that information and do with it as
- 52:02you will.
- 52:09Why choose futures over options?
- 52:14I just I like futures because it's less
- 52:16stuff to think about for me
- 52:20and also because they had this like uh
- 52:23at the time
- 52:25the PDT rule and also they didn't have
- 52:27prop firms
- 52:30options prop firms
- 52:34imagine the type of degeneracy that'll
- 52:37go on on those
- 52:41zero DTE far out the
- 52:44Let it ride.
- 52:48[laughter]
- 52:51That'd be crazy.
- 52:53Do you ever consider using deep dom with
- 52:55deep chart?
- 52:57Um,
- 52:59maybe I might.
- 53:06How are you only at 58,000
- 53:10payouts if you pulled 19k in January?
- 53:12Well, obviously 19 obviously January was
- 53:15a pretty good month. And then um
- 53:18February was also decent. March was
- 53:20decent. April was rough. May I got
- 53:24whooped. June I was building it back up.
- 53:27July I was focusing on live accounts.
- 53:30And then this month I'm getting whooped.
- 53:32So, yeah. I mean, I'm I'm not really
- 53:35super proud about how this year is
- 53:38playing out in terms of uh payouts, but
- 53:41you know what?
- 53:44Who cares, dude?
- 53:46We're green.
- 53:48We're not millionaires.
- 53:50But
- 53:52it's all right. We We got We got enough
- 53:54time at the, you know, we got enough
- 53:55time still this year where we can make a
- 53:57comeback.
- 54:02No, it's a it's a it's a valid question.
- 54:07I got I got I got whoop so far this
- 54:10month. Like this this move.
- 54:14Okay. Like let's let's look at something
- 54:16for a second.
- 54:19Sick.
- 54:22That looks like we can make a lot of
- 54:23money in there.
- 54:25Whoops.
- 54:34I don't know, dude.
- 54:46This was a nice move this day. Although
- 54:49I hesitated on it. This day I had a I
- 54:52had a level I was watching that was
- 54:53sitting down here and I watched price
- 54:55come into this area and I was supposed
- 54:57to take a long. I hesitated on it and
- 54:58then it just ran without me.
- 55:03But yeah, we'll pick it back up. Don't
- 55:05worry.
- 55:07We'll get we'll get back on uh this
- 55:10thing is just going We'll get back on
- 55:12the right
- 55:15the right path.
- 55:19Took a 100 points on that move. You wish
- 55:22you were still in, but happy you got
- 55:24that big that got that big of a pull.
- 55:27Yeah. Well, 100 points is great.
- 55:32100 points is awesome.
- 55:36Crown is still holding from the open
- 55:38because he's just a he's a beast.
- 55:42This guy's a beast.
- 55:49All right, so here's what we're going to
- 55:51do. Um, I'm done for the day
- 55:54because we're just pumping at this
- 55:56point. and I can't really do anything
- 55:57anymore. We caught the longs
- 56:01golf clap
- 56:03on the live account and the funded
- 56:05account. I'm okay with that. I got
- 56:07whooped this week, so we needed that.
- 56:09That was nice. And then I'm going to do
- 56:11a giveaway right now for the Discord. So
- 56:15for any of the 150 people sitting in the
- 56:18YouTube, if you guys want to win a free
