  1. 0:25My bad. Hold on. Give me a second, guys.
  2. 0:46All right.
  3. 0:51Will you paste it on screen like
  4. 0:53masterclass? Absolutely not. That was
  5. 0:56just it's just that's a terrible way to
  6. 0:58do a giveaway.
  7. 1:00You know what I mean? I just didn't have
  8. 1:02any other way to do it. So
  9. 1:08[laughter] yeah, it was probably the
  10. 1:09worst way to do a giveaway.
  11. 1:13Dude, we we have been in this
  12. 1:17we've been contained below 30,000 for a
  13. 1:19while.
  14. 1:24So we have the same level. I'm watching
  15. 1:26the same level this morning that I was
  16. 1:28watching yesterday. basically between
  17. 1:29900 and 950.
  18. 1:34If we c if we can actually accept above
  19. 1:36it and we can get above it, then
  20. 1:40um we're going to start making our way
  21. 1:43back up towards the monthly ceiling. But
  22. 1:47the overnight balanced out this week has
  23. 1:49been
  24. 1:52pretty tough. I'm going to be real. It's
  25. 1:55been a tough week this week. Yesterday's
  26. 1:57price action was probably
  27. 2:01the worst New York AM session price
  28. 2:04action I've seen in like uh
  29. 2:08in a little while.
  30. 2:10I'm sure the prop firms loved yesterday.
  31. 2:13They probably made a bunch of money,
  32. 2:15bunch of resets.
  33. 2:19[snorts]
  34. 2:21So, pre-market [clears throat] we're
  35. 2:22opening up in here. In the event that we
  36. 2:25start accepting below back below the
  37. 2:28800s, I think we're going to come take
  38. 2:29data lows and make our way back down in
  39. 2:31a discount. But
  40. 2:35I am kind of cautious this morning about
  41. 2:37us potentially just
  42. 2:40rotating again,
  43. 2:43which would suck, but
  44. 2:48it's kind of um base scenario, base
  45. 2:51case, utter chaos. Yeah, my bad, bro. I
  46. 2:55uh don't worry if you guys are new here
  47. 2:59and you don't know how we do giveaways.
  48. 3:01Everybody gets a chance. It's very easy
  49. 3:04to enter. You just literally click a
  50. 3:06green button when I
  51. 3:09or we do a duck race.
  52. 3:12But
  53. 3:15I'm going have [snorts] to tell the
  54. 3:16YouTube chat to join
  55. 3:20because it's only for people in the
  56. 3:21Discord.
  57. 3:23because it's the only way I could run
  58. 3:24the bot, realistically run the bot for
  59. 3:26the giveaway.
  60. 3:31So, I have um I have this IQ Capital
  61. 3:34funded account, but
  62. 3:39I'm going to be careful today. I think I
  63. 3:40might trade some evals to be honest this
  64. 3:43morning.
  65. 3:45I got I got whooped this week. We're
  66. 3:48currently in a red week for me.
  67. 3:58But it's not the end of the world.
  68. 4:01If you have made if you are having a
  69. 4:04good week this week, congratulations
  70. 4:06because I think it's been a relatively
  71. 4:08tough week, at least for the way that I
  72. 4:11trade.
  73. 4:22So, we'll see what happens here at the
  74. 4:23open. But
  75. 4:26I was nervous. I was nervous I wasn't
  76. 4:28going to have any accounts to give away
  77. 4:30to the community,
  78. 4:32but we got them. Actually, we got we got
  79. 4:34them like five minutes before I started
  80. 4:36the stream. They hit me with them, which
  81. 4:38is great.
  82. 4:40Also,
  83. 4:43dude, that IQ Capital interview got it's
  84. 4:45at like 70,000 views in the first 48
  85. 4:48hours. That's pretty crazy.
  86. 4:52I'm almost at 10K subs, by the way. 10K
  87. 4:56subs on YouTube. Maybe we'll do
  88. 4:57something for that.
  89. 5:00Maybe we'll do some type of uh giveaway
  90. 5:03or something. I don't know.
  91. 5:06But 10k 10k subs that's that's a
  92. 5:09milestone.
  93. 5:13You have blown 15 accounts unfunded
  94. 5:16next.
  95. 5:18Well,
  96. 5:23let's turn that around, brother. Let's
  97. 5:26turn it around.
  98. 5:29We did leave data loads from yesterday.
  99. 5:31Yes.
  100. 5:34Does your heart start racing and do you
  101. 5:36get nervous every time you enter a
  102. 5:38trade? No.
  103. 5:52Commando, I have a
  104. 5:56I have um let me explain something to
  105. 5:59you. I actually have a video about how I
  106. 6:02make my pre-market plans. And then I
  107. 6:05also have um if you join the community,
  108. 6:08there should be a link in the YouTube
  109. 6:09description. If you join the community,
  110. 6:11I I send out daily outlooks every single
  111. 6:14morning.
  112. 6:17I'll give you I'll show you.
  113. 6:22Okay. I send daily outlooks every day.
  114. 6:25So
  115. 6:28I have upside downside and rotational
  116. 6:30scenarios and areas that I'm watching
  117. 6:32for
  118. 6:35and also
  119. 6:39um
  120. 6:45I've been cooking this I've been cooking
  121. 6:48this up.
  122. 6:52You guys can't really see it here. I'll
  123. 6:54show you actually right now.
  124. 7:01I've been cooking. We've been vibe
  125. 7:04coding.
  126. 7:07We've been vibe coding. I read these
  127. 7:09every morning.
  128. 7:15It's I made that by the way. But
  129. 7:20we have been cooking them.
  130. 7:29Hold on. I got to
  131. 7:31put this back.
  132. 7:44Do you know your rough spent on the 59k
  133. 7:46payouts year-to- date? Yes, I do. You
  134. 7:49have to keep track of it. Uh, it's
  135. 7:51probably I haven't looked I don't know
  136. 7:53the exact number, but it's on a it's on
  137. 7:55a sheet.
  138. 7:57Honestly, this year started off pretty
  139. 7:59strong and then I just started getting
  140. 8:01whooped a little bit to be honest. So,
  141. 8:04I've probably spent like um $12,000.
  142. 8:08So, really not a lot or really not a lot
  143. 8:11in terms of profit. I mean,
  144. 8:13because and then also, you know, some
  145. 8:16stuff happened, but no, no excuses. It
  146. 8:18should be more than that. It should be
  147. 8:20more.
  148. 8:23So, not too happy, but we still got
  149. 8:26enough time in the year to turn it
  150. 8:27around.
  151. 8:29So,
  152. 8:34Still got enough time in the year to
  153. 8:36turn it around. Although I'm probably
  154. 8:39not really going to trade a lot of
  155. 8:40December.
  156. 8:44I I may be MIA.
  157. 8:47December. I I got a bunch of stuff I got
  158. 8:49to do. I might be moving. I'm going to
  159. 8:51be traveling.
  160. 8:55So, we may take it easy in December. But
  161. 8:58we still got Although I've been getting
  162. 9:00whooped this month. This might be the
  163. 9:01the second worst month of uh for me.
  164. 9:06I got whooped in May and I got wh I'm
  165. 9:08getting whooped this month,
  166. 9:14but we still got like almost three
  167. 9:15weeks. So, or two weeks. Where do I
  168. 9:19currently live? In California.
  169. 9:24[snorts]
  170. 9:30Yeah, I can turn things around. It
  171. 9:31should I should be
  172. 9:34[clears throat] realistically I should
  173. 9:35have been probably closer to
  174. 9:39as of right now with the current spend
  175. 9:41that I that I did spend I I should
  176. 9:43probably be closer to like 75k in
  177. 9:45payouts, but I I fumbled some of them. I
  178. 9:48also got rug pulled from a firm. Um
  179. 9:53but that one really wasn't that much. It
  180. 9:55was probably a few a couple thousand,
  181. 9:58but it kind of pissed me off. I'm I'm
  182. 9:59going be real.
  183. 10:02They got me. They hit me with some
  184. 10:04psychological warfare.
  185. 10:07[laughter] They got me.
  186. 10:16How do you not get nervous when you take
  187. 10:18Yeah, I do. I am going to give away some
  188. 10:20IQ accounts today. Shout out IQ Capital.
  189. 10:22I got to put up their banner on um you
  190. 10:25guys are probably going to see me on
  191. 10:26some of their content. They're going to
  192. 10:28do some pretty cool videos. I'm going to
  193. 10:29go uh participate in them.
  194. 10:35But um how do you not get nervous when
  195. 10:36you take a trade? Well,
  196. 10:40if you're getting nervous when you take
  197. 10:42a trade,
  198. 10:43you're probably sizing kind of heavy to
  199. 10:45be honest.
  200. 10:50Which firm exposed them? Alpha Futures.
  201. 10:54L Alpha Futures.
  202. 10:56L firm.
  203. 11:01Lirm.
  204. 11:03Although, you know what? They've they
  205. 11:05never had an issue with paying Well,
  206. 11:08wait, hold on. Before that happened,
  207. 11:10they never had an issue with paying me
  208. 11:11out.
  209. 11:13And I'm very net positive with that
  210. 11:16firm. So, we can have a clean breakup.
  211. 11:20We can break I would be upset though if
  212. 11:22they did that and I wasn't positive with
  213. 11:24the firm.
  214. 11:28That would have bothered me more. But
  215. 11:29you know what? Like
  216. 11:32scoreboard one for me, zero for Well,
  217. 11:35they try to get me, but
  218. 11:39it's whatever.
  219. 11:43The Matrix.
  220. 11:47Yeah, Sam's Club. That's basically like
  221. 11:49they're going to make videos like that.
  222. 11:53So, I'm going to participate in them. I
  223. 11:57think they should be pretty good. They
  224. 11:58have a really good um
  225. 12:01their YouTube's probably going to blow
  226. 12:03up. They have uh some really cool
  227. 12:04interviews coming out pretty soon from
  228. 12:06some traders you guys all know. And I
  229. 12:09think they're going to be pretty good.
  230. 12:10So,
  231. 12:13all right, let's see what we do. We're
  232. 12:14kind of opening up here in the 900 950
  233. 12:16area.
  234. 12:18So, we want to see if we're actually
  235. 12:19going to start getting above here. So,
  236. 12:21we can start probing uh 30,000 30,100.
  237. 12:24But if we fail, we're
  238. 12:34we open up and just immediately push
  239. 12:36down.
  240. 12:38[snorts]
  241. 13:14I'm trying to see right now if we're
  242. 13:15going uh [clears throat]
  243. 13:17if this move down's about to fail and
  244. 13:18we're about to start ripping it to the
  245. 13:19upside.
  246. 13:28Amen.
  247. 13:48Amen.
  248. 14:10Amen.
  249. 14:21What up, Christian?
  250. 15:11I'm not necessarily convinced in this
  251. 15:13move down yet. [clears throat]
  252. 15:32If we start flipping bullish on this
  253. 15:33fivem minute, the only thing is that we
  254. 15:35are in this area that I'm watching. So,
  255. 15:39we truly won't really have that.
  256. 15:43We would still need to be careful about
  257. 15:45950, but there is enough room where we
  258. 15:47could probably move it break even.
  259. 16:23All
  260. 16:38right, I'm actually going to try some
  261. 16:40longs right here.
  262. 16:43Stop loss is going to have to be pretty
  263. 16:45wide, though.
  264. 16:48And once we do start approaching
  265. 16:51the 950 area, I'm going to have to move
  266. 16:55it to break even.
  267. 16:58But it but what I'm looking for right
  268. 17:00now is for us to get past 950 to start
  269. 17:03making our way into the 30,000s again.
  270. 17:07We watched sellers step in immediately
  271. 17:08at the open and they just were getting
  272. 17:10absorbed and we're starting to flip
  273. 17:11bullish to the upside.
  274. 17:18Actually, this is on my funded account
  275. 17:20by the way.
  276. 17:28Let's hope we don't snap back and chop
  277. 17:30at the open.
  278. 17:34We we should hold above 900 if this is
  279. 17:38going to continue higher.
  280. 17:54So, we're pushing past 950. I don't want
  281. 17:58to see a failure here. I'm going to
  282. 17:59actually move this to uh break even.
  283. 18:03[clears throat]
  284. 18:04And then once we start approaching
  285. 18:0530,000, I'm going to begin to trail the
  286. 18:08stop pretty tightly because that's the
  287. 18:10monthly ceiling around 30,000
  288. 18:1430,100.
  289. 18:24Let's see if we can finally have a good
  290. 18:25day today. I'm getting whooped, bro.
  291. 18:30Let's get some follow through. So, we're
  292. 18:32approaching 30,000. When we take these
  293. 18:33orders here, I'm going to start trailing
  294. 18:35stop pretty tight just to lock in the
  295. 18:37day.
  296. 18:45I took this on two accounts. So, I took
  297. 18:47this on this funded account and I'm also
  298. 18:49in on my live account.
  299. 18:52I'mma show Well, I'm gonna show you guys
  300. 18:54that in a second. I just got to focus on
  301. 18:55this right now. Both B both of them are
  302. 18:57at break even.
  303. 19:02We're about
  304. 19:0475 points in profit right now.
  305. 19:09All right, we just took all the orders
  306. 19:11that were sitting here.
  307. 19:14I'm going to start trailing this one
  308. 19:16pretty tight right below 30,000. lock in
  309. 19:19650 on the um
  310. 19:25we might run it today. I think we might
  311. 19:28run it up to 30,100.
  312. 19:34Let's go. Let's go. I'm actually going
  313. 19:37to take off two right here and then
  314. 19:40we'll leave the stop right below 30,000.
  315. 19:43Live account right now is currently
  316. 19:45here. Let me show you.
  317. 19:48live account right now is currently
  318. 19:50running 740 in profit. I'm also going to
  319. 19:53trail this as well
  320. 19:56below 30,000. So, we'll lock in 500 on
  321. 20:00the live account. I want to see us
  322. 20:02continue through full target's going to
  323. 20:05be
  324. 20:07sitting around. It's 30,110 is full
  325. 20:10target.
  326. 20:16We'll actually front run it. I'm going
  327. 20:18to front run uh the TP to 30,94 full TP
  328. 20:24on both of these.
  329. 20:26I'm going to be real though. If we run
  330. 20:28this right now, I'm done. This is the
  331. 20:29only thing I'm going to do today.
  332. 20:32[snorts] Well, you know what? I'm
  333. 20:33probably done anyways. I I'll I'll kick
  334. 20:35it. I'll hang out for a bit.
  335. 20:38Um,
  336. 20:42maybe I'll trade some evals because I
  337. 20:44was going to trade Evals, but this was
  338. 20:45looking pretty good for for our funded
  339. 20:48accounts
  340. 20:52in our live account.
  341. 20:55Actually, on the live account, I'm going
  342. 20:57to scale out a contract right here
  343. 21:01and let the rest of it ride.
  344. 21:08Did any of you guys take that with me?
  345. 21:24Cool. He was in earlier too. Awesome.
  346. 22:19See what happens.
  347. 22:27I would love for us to actually get out
  348. 22:29of this area. Like we've been stuck
  349. 22:31below 30,100 for um
  350. 22:36a month.
  351. 22:39I think the PA should probably get
  352. 22:41better once we start getting past it. It
  353. 22:44doesn't mean like in either direction. I
  354. 22:46just we've been kind of like
  355. 22:47consolidating in this area. We were
  356. 22:50getting stuck all week below 900s.
  357. 22:54which was slightly frustrating.
  358. 23:13What platform am I using?
  359. 23:17That's that's the question of the year,
  360. 23:19huh? Question of the year. What
  361. 23:21platform?
  362. 23:24I use deep charts and I use ATS.
  363. 23:28I use both of them.
  364. 23:32Why not?
  365. 23:36This is this is deep chart. This is a
  366. 23:39test
  367. 23:43stops going right below stacked
  368. 23:45imbalance. So around 994
  369. 23:50994
  370. 23:51and we're just going to hold it for full
  371. 23:53TP.
  372. 23:57And then guess what?
  373. 24:00We got accounts to give away. Wow, what
  374. 24:02a day.
  375. 24:06We open up
  376. 24:12and we just rip.
  377. 24:36If this flips bullish, I'm trailing
  378. 24:38below failed sellers here. But if it
  379. 24:40hits us out, we'll lock in about 700 on
  380. 24:44um
  381. 24:51the funded and uh
  382. 25:00I'm actually going to trail it right
  383. 25:01now. Trailing it to 30,7.
  384. 25:08Lock in a little bit more. See if we can
  385. 25:11flip it back to the upside. If not, uh,
  386. 25:14where is our entry on this? Whoops.
  387. 25:229040.
  388. 25:33We'll get out right here. 100 points
  389. 25:38about a 2.5R
  390. 25:41unless it runs to full TP.
  391. 25:46Be about a 4R.
  392. 26:24Cool.
  393. 26:25All right. So, we're up 800 on this IQ
  394. 26:28Capital funded account. I am up on my
  395. 26:31live account this morning.
  396. 26:34$536.
  397. 26:38Good stuff.
  398. 26:43Now we I'll I'll switch over to Evo and
  399. 26:48just sit here for a bit. That was a
  400. 26:50pretty quick morning this morning.
  401. 26:54Come on. Let's get some W's in the chat
  402. 26:55for 100 points off the off the open
  403. 26:57before the before the 15minute chart
  404. 27:01even 15-minute candle even closed.
  405. 27:04I hope some of you guys caught that.
  406. 27:14Dude, we needed that. I've been getting
  407. 27:16whooped in the opening chop like for a
  408. 27:18week.
  409. 27:21It's freaking terrible.
  410. 27:23Like two weeks, actually.
  411. 27:30It's been It's been devastating.
  412. 27:41Can you explain why you took this trade?
  413. 27:44Sure.
  414. 27:47So,
  415. 27:48[snorts]
  416. 27:52for um well, let's leave this on here
  417. 27:55for now.
  418. 27:57For the past 2 days, we've been
  419. 28:00struggling to get past 900 to 950. At
  420. 28:04the open, we opened up and immediately
  421. 28:07pushed down. We didn't even make a wick
  422. 28:08to the upside. Didn't even make a wick
  423. 28:11to the upside. We immediately pushed
  424. 28:13down and we were watching to see whether
  425. 28:16or not that selling aggression was
  426. 28:17actually going to result in any type of
  427. 28:19price progression. Right. Well, they
  428. 28:22were getting absorbed.
  429. 28:25Oo, just gave my gave my stop loss a
  430. 28:28little kiss on the cheek. It's all
  431. 28:30right, though. Um,
  432. 28:33they pushed down. They're stalling,
  433. 28:34stalling, stalling, getting absorbed,
  434. 28:36getting absorbed, and then we started
  435. 28:37pushing back aggressively with the
  436. 28:38buyers. The moment we flip bullish, I'm
  437. 28:40going long because this area up here,
  438. 28:44wow, what a bummer. Whatever. Uh, this
  439. 28:47area up here is the monthly ceiling. And
  440. 28:50chances are we're probably if we're not
  441. 28:53going to be able to actually push down.
  442. 28:55This is where we're headed to,
  443. 28:58which is we're running it out right now.
  444. 29:18I will say though, this is going to I
  445. 29:20want to see if we're actually going to
  446. 29:21break above this right now.
  447. 29:25This was the target for this morning.
  448. 29:3030,110
  449. 30:06What a nice move, dude.
  450. 30:15What a what a breath of fresh air, NQ.
  451. 30:18I've been feeling I've started started
  452. 30:20looking at I I I started looking at gold
  453. 30:22yesterday.
  454. 30:28Feel like NQ NQ is being mean. It was
  455. 30:32being disgusting the the past week or
  456. 30:35so.
  457. 30:38We're Today we're back.
  458. 30:44So I I am watching here. If we can
  459. 30:47actually accept above 30,110, we may
  460. 30:50just
  461. 30:53continue this to the upside.
  462. 30:56And if I were you guys, I would not try
  463. 30:59and call the top of this.
  464. 31:04But you can do whatever you want. Not
  465. 31:06financial advice.
  466. 31:56We're poking our head out of it now.
  467. 31:58Look. Check it out.
  468. 32:02Finally.
  469. 32:06Finally.
  470. 32:09Now, let's see if it holds, though. I
  471. 32:11mean, that's the real question. Is it
  472. 32:12going to hold?
  473. 32:17And I'm happy we were able to catch
  474. 32:19that. I've been looking for that move.
  475. 32:21Like, I've been looking for that move to
  476. 32:23happen for like
  477. 32:26a while.
  478. 32:44Well, let's see.
  479. 32:47Sorry. I'll I know you guys are asking
  480. 32:49questions. I'll answer them in a second.
  481. 32:53I'm just
  482. 32:55market's moving. We got We got to pay
  483. 32:57attention a little bit. I still got some
  484. 33:00evals I got to trade.
  485. 33:03Yeah, I also thought CPI was going to
  486. 33:05give the move that that I thought CPI
  487. 33:07was going to do this, right? Was going
  488. 33:09to help this happened yesterday and it
  489. 33:12did completely the opposite.
  490. 33:15I did a bunch of nothing.
  491. 33:34Well, it seems like all of us had a uh
  492. 33:36had a good day today. Looks like you
  493. 33:37guys all caught the long. So,
  494. 33:53Wow, we almost have 200 people on the
  495. 33:55YouTube live stream. What up? What up
  496. 33:57everybody?
  497. 33:58Also, since you're all here right now, I
  498. 34:02have some accounts I'm going to give
  499. 34:03away.
  500. 34:05But

  506. 34:23if you're in the Discord and you're in
  507. 34:24the Discord call like in cuz I stream in
  508. 34:27Discord. It's honestly if you guys are
  509. 34:29going to watch me trade, it's probably a
  510. 34:30better idea to watch me in Discord

  512. 34:35and it's free and I give my outlooks in
  513. 34:39there.
  514. 34:40So, um

  516. 34:46second.
  517. 34:49Not in a second. I'm going to give

  531. 35:21two accounts away today.
  532. 35:29Honestly, the IQ Capital uh accounts are
  533. 35:32kind of at first I I didn't know how I
  534. 35:35felt about the position loss rule, but
  535. 35:38it's pretty dope, dude. If you if you
  536. 35:40have like a 100k um 100k account like
  537. 35:44this this funded account with IQ Capital
  538. 35:47that I just traded this long on right
  539. 35:48now. It's a uh 100k
  540. 35:52and um
  541. 35:56dude it's $6,000 a draw down on a 100k
  542. 36:00account. It's literally a one to one.
  543. 36:03It's crazy.
  544. 36:05Is there a trade recap?
  545. 36:08Uh
  546. 36:11yeah, Jam, did you just did you just get
  547. 36:13in here because um
  548. 36:16we took longs.
  549. 36:20We took Okay, you just got in here. All
  550. 36:22right, so I'll I'll I'll explain it
  551. 36:24again for you.
  552. 36:27So this morning, the outlook said this.
  553. 36:29Okay,
  554. 36:32this is the thought process for you
  555. 36:34guys.
  556. 36:36upside. If buyers are able to accept
  557. 36:38past 900 to 950, we're going to look for
  558. 36:40us to revisit the 30,100 monthly
  559. 36:42ceiling. This is only valid if we accept
  560. 36:45through this area with with not just a
  561. 36:48wick, with actual actual acceptance,
  562. 36:50right? So, we push up into it
  563. 36:53pre-market. I made that outlook when we
  564. 36:55were sitting down here. We push up into
  565. 36:57it pre-market. We're holding pre-market
  566. 36:59right before the open. The opens up and
  567. 37:03immediately pushes down. So, when this
  568. 37:07candle opened up, we immediately start
  569. 37:09pushing down. We're watching selling
  570. 37:11aggression stepping in. I'm watching a
  571. 37:13delta chart. So, I'm watching this. I'm
  572. 37:18looking at delta. I'm seeing sellers get
  573. 37:20incredibly aggressive at the extremes of
  574. 37:22this this candle. We're stalling out in
  575. 37:25this area. And then on the way back up,
  576. 37:27while this candle begins to flip, we
  577. 37:30start seeing aggressive buying start
  578. 37:32stepping in. So, when this candle begins
  579. 37:34to flip bullish
  580. 37:36and we're holding 900, the way that we
  581. 37:38held it, we have sellers trying to get
  582. 37:40below 900, they fail, we hold above it.
  583. 37:44Then at that point, I'm looking for us
  584. 37:47to basically squeeze it towards the
  585. 37:48target, which is
  586. 37:51fortunately what we did. Um,
  587. 37:56we did trail stop a little bit. So, I'm
  588. 37:59okay with trailing stop on the funded
  589. 38:00account. Although on my live account, I
  590. 38:02probably should have held it.
  591. 38:06I probably shouldn't have trailed the
  592. 38:07stop on my live account. That was
  593. 38:08slightly a mistake, but that's
  594. 38:11hindsight, you know. Um,
  595. 38:14I will say that this area in general
  596. 38:20has been
  597. 38:22the Great Wall of China for a month.
  598. 38:26Um, and I I would have hated for us to
  599. 38:29come up here and slam all the way back
  600. 38:30down and we locked in 100 points. But it
  601. 38:34is something to note though that like if
  602. 38:36we are going to break through it will
  603. 38:39and we're going to accept out of it,
  604. 38:40we're probably going to continue. So it
  605. 38:42it it might end up being something that
  606. 38:46we just
  607. 38:48we make a large move up, right? We maybe
  608. 38:51retrace a little bit.
  609. 38:53how wherever we retrace maybe to 30,000
  610. 38:56maybe to 30,100 whatever and then we
  611. 38:59just kind of enter this like slow grind
  612. 39:02to the upside
  613. 39:06or we retrace, drop it all the way back
  614. 39:09and then just start chopping.
  615. 39:13But it looks like it's going to continue
  616. 39:15to the upside. Every single time sellers
  617. 39:17have stepped in so far, they've just
  618. 39:18been getting absolutely demolished.
  619. 39:23So
  620. 39:24yeah, I'd recommend um
  621. 39:28if you guys are sitting here, do not
  622. 39:31think to yourself like
  623. 39:34don't don't sit here and be like, "Oh,
  624. 39:36the market's gone up too much. It's got
  625. 39:38to come down now,
  626. 39:41I'll send flowers to your funeral, to
  627. 39:44your account's funeral.
  628. 39:54Dude, in the past I used to I used to do
  629. 39:56that. Like let's say we're dropping and
  630. 39:58I'm like, "Oh, we drop way too much.
  631. 40:00We're pumping. We pump way too much.
  632. 40:14PA will respect the second fair value
  633. 40:16gap but disrespect the first
  634. 40:20fair value gaps.
  635. 40:24You think it's going to disrespect this
  636. 40:27and respect this? Why?
  637. 40:30What's the reasoning behind that?
  638. 40:38the almighty fair value gap.
  639. 40:42Fair value gap.
  640. 40:46Honestly, if we're going to talk about
  641. 40:48fair value gaps and you're talking about
  642. 40:50which one's going to hold, this is
  643. 40:52probably going to hold here.
  644. 40:56If I just had to make a guess, this is
  645. 40:59going to hold
  646. 41:01rather than this. I mean, if we come
  647. 41:03down, sure, but this is going to hold.
  648. 41:07If we if we disrespect this and we pump
  649. 41:10through this, that's actually I
  650. 41:14probably be less confident in trying to
  651. 41:16take longs. I think at that point, we'd
  652. 41:18probably be rebalancing this move up and
  653. 41:20then entering into a chop.
  654. 41:23[snorts]
  655. 41:25Man, we should have held that. We should
  656. 41:27have held that on a live account. We
  657. 41:28could have hit a banger today.
  658. 41:31We could have hit a banger.
  659. 41:43Look, nothing nothing wrong. All right.
  660. 41:45You know what? I know
  661. 41:49I know um
  662. 41:53ICT and orderflow community.
  663. 41:58Why do traders hate each other, man? If
  664. 41:59we make money, we make money. We're not,
  665. 42:01you know, let's just all kumbaya, homie.
  666. 42:05Let's just all uh let's just all make
  667. 42:08some money. I don't care what your
  668. 42:11strategy is. If you make money doing it,
  669. 42:13good for you.
  670. 42:15The only thing I will just stand on and
  671. 42:17I will not let go is
  672. 42:21you cannot tell me
  673. 42:25that there's something called the enigma
  674. 42:27that this dude coded that runs the
  675. 42:29market. Get out of here if you believe
  676. 42:31that.
  677. 42:35Shame. Shame on you.
  678. 42:39[laughter]
  679. 42:40But if you trade ICT concepts and you
  680. 42:42make money doing it, well, awesome. You
  681. 42:46know, a lot, just so you guys know,
  682. 42:49ICT concepts are not, he didn't invent a
  683. 42:52lot of that stuff. [laughter]
  684. 42:54A lot of it actually a lot of it has to
  685. 42:56do with auction market theory and then
  686. 42:59all the other things that he rebranded
  687. 43:02were already existing concepts.
  688. 43:08Although I do think um
  689. 43:15I don't believe I I know algos are in
  690. 43:17the market of course but there's this
  691. 43:21like idea of there's a singular
  692. 43:24algorithm called the enigma that runs
  693. 43:28the entire
  694. 43:31market. Like bro what?
  695. 43:36and he coded it.
  696. 43:39Dude, I will say ICT though,
  697. 43:43dude is a legend. He created a cult
  698. 43:46following.
  699. 43:48You can't knock that. Like that is
  700. 43:51impressive.
  701. 43:52He took existing concepts, rebranded
  702. 43:56them, made it sound like a science, and
  703. 43:58built a massive cult following off of
  704. 44:00it.
  705. 44:03He should be studied.
  706. 44:05It's amazing.
  707. 44:08So, here here's our plan. We're going to
  708. 44:10take orderflow concepts. We're going to
  709. 44:12um we're going to rename them.
  710. 44:16I'm going to name I'm going to brand it
  711. 44:18as a
  712. 44:20we'll call it a a thrax node.
  713. 44:25Um
  714. 44:27and then we'll just package it up and
  715. 44:31sell it to the masses.
  716. 44:37>> [laughter]
  717. 44:39>> No, but you know what? I have friends
  718. 44:40who trade ICT and they're very
  719. 44:42successful traders, very successful.
  720. 44:46So I I you know, as funny as you know,
  721. 44:48we kind of crack jokes and stuff, but
  722. 44:54whatever makes money, bro, is you know,
  723. 44:56good for you.
  724. 45:08Making fun money is different than
  725. 45:09living money. That's a valid point.
  726. 45:21Level two is more fun. I don't know. I
  727. 45:23like I mean there's
  728. 45:26there's a lot of ways to trade, you
  729. 45:28know. I know Orflow is getting popular
  730. 45:30is well got really popular.
  731. 45:33Um
  732. 45:35I just like my brain likes how I can
  733. 45:39look at information.
  734. 45:43It's just easy for me to understand.
  735. 45:50Did I catch the buy? I caught 100 points
  736. 45:52of it and then it pumped another 100
  737. 45:54points.
  738. 45:57We could have hit a banger on the live
  739. 45:59account.
  740. 46:00>> I would have been up like $1,000,
  741. 46:03$1,500 probably on the live account.
  742. 46:06[snorts]
  743. 46:08And you know what? I'm going to v I'm
  744. 46:10going to Vegas later. Not today, but
  745. 46:15that would have been nice. I would have
  746. 46:16taken some money [laughter] money out of
  747. 46:18my uh out of my live account when go hit
  748. 46:20the bakarat.
  749. 46:23hit the bakar with with the Chinese anks
  750. 46:28[laughter]
  751. 46:30at the MGM mansion. In the high limit
  752. 46:33room at the mansions, you sit down at
  753. 46:35Bakarat. You find you find a wise old
  754. 46:37Chinese man smoking a cigarette. You
  755. 46:38just tail him.
  756. 46:42[laughter]
  757. 46:49That's like saying Jim Jones was an
  758. 46:51amazing [laughter] cult leader.
  759. 46:56I'm just talking in terms of marketing,
  760. 46:58bro. Like, I'm just like I'm just
  761. 46:59talking in terms of marketing. He's he's
  762. 47:02a good marketer. [snorts]
  763. 47:08Honestly, there's probably nothing else
  764. 47:10this morning that I'm going to be able
  765. 47:11to trade. That That was it. either you
  766. 47:14took it and you held it or
  767. 47:18you took it and took your profits
  768. 47:22there pro there might be a move during
  769. 47:25um later on but for now I think there's
  770. 47:28really nothing I can do.
  771. 47:35So
  772. 47:41here's what I'll do. I'll sit here.
  773. 47:43Yeah, NQ still has room to the upside.
  774. 47:46Yes, I I 100% agree.
  775. 47:51So, I'll sit here and I'll answer some
  776. 47:53of your guys' questions. Although, I'm
  777. 47:55not going to sit here and do like a full
  778. 47:56master class of stuff, but I'll answer
  779. 47:58some questions.
  780. 48:01What was your aha moment?
  781. 48:04There was no aha moment. There was just
  782. 48:06a rock bottom.
  783. 48:08>> [laughter]
  784. 48:09>> There was just a rock bottom.
  785. 48:18I think that whole idea about like
  786. 48:22one day everything is just going to
  787. 48:23click is bull.
  788. 48:26It's bull. That does not happen. It
  789. 48:29didn't h Well, maybe it does. Maybe
  790. 48:31maybe one night you go to sleep and you
  791. 48:32wake up in the morning and you're just
  792. 48:34you go from being unprofitable and you
  793. 48:35just sort of like ah I understand now
  794. 48:39I'm gonna be profitable. I don't really
  795. 48:41think it works like that. But you know
  796. 48:43if that that happened to you then
  797. 48:46awesome. Took a while though.
  798. 48:50Trial and error and we're still still
  799. 48:54working on it.
  800. 49:00Why don't you trade only your live
  801. 49:02account when you capitalize on your when
  802. 49:04you can capitalize on your knowledge?
  803. 49:07Dude,
  804. 49:08the R the return on investment that you
  805. 49:12can get from prop firms cannot be beat.
  806. 49:16It cannot be beat by live accounts.
  807. 49:24Think about it like this, okay?
  808. 49:29I'll give you an example. In January,
  809. 49:31okay, in January of this year, I spent
  810. 49:34on profits, I spent
  811. 49:37$800
  812. 49:39on accounts, okay?
  813. 49:42And
  814. 49:46that month I pulled in in payouts, I had
  815. 49:49more in the P&L, but that month in
  816. 49:51payouts was like n like almost $19,000
  817. 49:54in payouts for January.
  818. 49:56So, like imagine you you basically took
  819. 49:59an $800 investment and turned it into,
  820. 50:01you know, 19 grand. Try and do that in a
  821. 50:04live account. You can't.
  822. 50:06So,
  823. 50:08the opportunity that prop firms allow
  824. 50:12for return on investment will never be
  825. 50:15beaten
  826. 50:16until they start changing all the stuff
  827. 50:19up, which they will, but
  828. 50:22for now, it's way better than a live
  829. 50:24account, honestly. Yeah. Is it annoying?
  830. 50:26You got to pass evals and follow rules.
  831. 50:30Yeah, but
  832. 50:32if you don't have like a ton of capital
  833. 50:36because it's like this, okay? If you're
  834. 50:38going to make any type of money and
  835. 50:40you're going to trade a live account,
  836. 50:43you need some money in there. You know
  837. 50:45what I mean? It's not you're you're
  838. 50:47probably not going to have a fun time um
  839. 50:52throwing $500,000 in at a time into a
  840. 50:55live account and then trying to make
  841. 50:57actual money with that.
  842. 51:00It's just not sustainable. You You would
  843. 51:02have to Is it possible? Of course. But
  844. 51:05you would have to have like a good
  845. 51:07amount of money. Like I think honestly
  846. 51:09if you want to be able to make money
  847. 51:10from a live account, like decent money,
  848. 51:14you'd probably need
  849. 51:18if you're going to trade micros with
  850. 51:20this volatility, you'd probably need
  851. 51:21like the bare bare minimum
  852. 51:28like 5 to 10 grand. But if you uh if you
  853. 51:33want to actually like follow proper risk
  854. 51:35management and you'd have to be
  855. 51:37aggressive. But if you want to follow uh
  856. 51:39proper risk management, you probably
  857. 51:41need if you want to make any money, you
  858. 51:42probably need like 25K in there in my
  859. 51:45opinion.
  860. 51:48But but
  861. 51:53AMP Futures does offer $300 margins on
  862. 51:56minis for NQ. So
  863. 52:00take that information and do with it as
  864. 52:02you will.
  865. 52:09Why choose futures over options?
  866. 52:14I just I like futures because it's less
  867. 52:16stuff to think about for me
  868. 52:20and also because they had this like uh
  869. 52:23at the time
  870. 52:25the PDT rule and also they didn't have
  871. 52:27prop firms
  872. 52:30options prop firms
  873. 52:34imagine the type of degeneracy that'll
  874. 52:37go on on those
  875. 52:41zero DTE far out the
  876. 52:44Let it ride.
  877. 52:48[laughter]
  878. 52:51That'd be crazy.
  879. 52:53Do you ever consider using deep dom with
  880. 52:55deep chart?
  881. 52:57Um,
  882. 52:59maybe I might.
  883. 53:06How are you only at 58,000
  884. 53:10payouts if you pulled 19k in January?
  885. 53:12Well, obviously 19 obviously January was
  886. 53:15a pretty good month. And then um
  887. 53:18February was also decent. March was
  888. 53:20decent. April was rough. May I got
  889. 53:24whooped. June I was building it back up.
  890. 53:27July I was focusing on live accounts.
  891. 53:30And then this month I'm getting whooped.
  892. 53:32So, yeah. I mean, I'm I'm not really
  893. 53:35super proud about how this year is
  894. 53:38playing out in terms of uh payouts, but
  895. 53:41you know what?
  896. 53:44Who cares, dude?
  897. 53:46We're green.
  898. 53:48We're not millionaires.
  899. 53:50But
  900. 53:52it's all right. We We got We got enough
  901. 53:54time at the, you know, we got enough
  902. 53:55time still this year where we can make a
  903. 53:57comeback.
  904. 54:02No, it's a it's a it's a valid question.
  905. 54:07I got I got I got whoop so far this
  906. 54:10month. Like this this move.
  907. 54:14Okay. Like let's let's look at something
  908. 54:16for a second.
  909. 54:19Sick.
  910. 54:22That looks like we can make a lot of
  911. 54:23money in there.
  912. 54:25Whoops.
  913. 54:34I don't know, dude.
  914. 54:46This was a nice move this day. Although
  915. 54:49I hesitated on it. This day I had a I
  916. 54:52had a level I was watching that was
  917. 54:53sitting down here and I watched price
  918. 54:55come into this area and I was supposed
  919. 54:57to take a long. I hesitated on it and
  920. 54:58then it just ran without me.
  921. 55:03But yeah, we'll pick it back up. Don't
  922. 55:05worry.
  923. 55:07We'll get we'll get back on uh this
  924. 55:10thing is just going We'll get back on
  925. 55:12the right
  926. 55:15the right path.
  927. 55:19Took a 100 points on that move. You wish
  928. 55:22you were still in, but happy you got
  929. 55:24that big that got that big of a pull.
  930. 55:27Yeah. Well, 100 points is great.
  931. 55:32100 points is awesome.
  932. 55:36Crown is still holding from the open
  933. 55:38because he's just a he's a beast.
  934. 55:42This guy's a beast.
  935. 55:49All right, so here's what we're going to
  936. 55:51do. Um, I'm done for the day
  937. 55:54because we're just pumping at this
  938. 55:56point. and I can't really do anything
