0:00Good morning.
0:05Back at all-time highs, huh?
0:14What up?
0:29What up, Mr. Spaghetti?
0:55So, honestly, today
0:59I might be a little bit more passive.
1:08What's up, Prashant?
1:25So, we're we're basically in price
1:27discovery. We're kind of like
1:33chilling at all-time high. We're pulling
1:35back a little bit, but
1:41we're kind of lacking structure right
1:43now, so
1:46I'm going to be a little bit more
1:47passive, uh
1:51little passive today.
1:56Uh right, I'm going to try the uh Alpha
1:58Trader is back up. So, I'm going to try
2:00and actually work on some evals and
2:02leave my funded accounts alone.
2:05So, I need to make like 900 or 1,000
2:08more dollars on this account.
2:17I did make like $600
2:19um
2:21pre-market shorting this.
2:25But, I was just trying to scalp. So, I
2:27was I was trailing stop because
2:30you know,
2:31sometimes when we're at all-time high
2:33and I want to take a short,
2:35I'm pretty tight with the risk because
2:39I'm more inclined to try and to
2:41basically treat pullbacks as just
2:43potential long opportunities.
2:46So, I went short somewhere around here.
2:49And then I'm I got out somewhere down
2:51here for like 600 bucks.
2:54So, we're up a little bit.
2:57But, we're going to wait for market
2:58open.
3:14In terms of what we're looking at today,
3:16like
3:17if we're going to continue to pull back,
3:20then I am kind of watching this area as
3:24a whole.
3:27Which it's a pretty large area. It's
3:28like 100 points, okay? So,
3:32I am going to be watching this area to
3:33see if there's any type of like
3:35responsive buying activity if we're
3:37going to start making our way kind of
3:38back up.
3:39Um in the event that we just like
3:42start pumping again, then I'm going to
3:44be watching for us potentially to come
3:46up towards
3:48like 30,475
3:50or 30,500, which is like a major
3:53psychological level.
3:55It's pretty crazy. I mean, yesterday we
3:56broke
3:5830K
4:00and then, you know, we went like 300 and
4:05we went far above it. We're just
4:08skyrocketing up basically right now.
4:12The hourly's looking This candle is
4:14looking pretty nasty though, I will say
4:15that.
4:18For a potential deeper pullback.
4:21Maybe even
4:22past this area, but
4:26whenever we're at all-time highs, like
4:28I'm just Yes, good short opportunities
4:31happen. Like for example, you could have
4:33shorted it at the top or let's say you
4:35caught the top and now you're up 150
4:38points, but
4:40I'm just like more suspicious about it
4:43unless unless inclined to try and like
4:45short all-time highs.
4:48Even if a short were to play out, I'd
4:49rather just like let it play out and
4:51wait.
4:55Until we really start like shifting
4:57structure back where
5:00it starts making sense to actually look
5:01for deeper retracements, then we can try
5:04and scalp the shorts, but
5:06yeah.
5:08What up, Choosy?
5:13Choosy, I'm waiting on you, bro. Waiting
5:15on you for your mod pack for uh
5:19for the game.
5:23You got to get it set up, bro.
5:35What up, Mitchell?
5:53>> Yeah, so I'm going to try and work on
5:55this Eval.
5:57See if we get past it today.
5:59Add it to the uh
6:03Okay.
6:06Well, actually I probably can't work on
6:09this Eval because
6:14look at this.
6:19What is it doing?
6:21It's stuck.
6:24It's stuck.
6:30All right, so I guess I guess that's a
6:31wrap. We're going to go look at the uh I
6:34guess I'm just going to have to leave
6:35that.
6:37We're going to look at this.
6:41We're back on the funded I guess for
6:42now. I have a funded account on Alpha
6:44Trader by can't trade it. So
6:48it's like
6:49just sketchy.
6:59Am I now consistently profitable or am I
7:02still breaching accounts sometimes?
7:06Yeah, just because you're if you're
7:07trading prop firms just because
7:09you can totally be consistently
7:11profitable and blow a bunch of accounts,
7:13bro.
7:16But yes.
7:19This was this month is actually
7:22potentially
7:23going to well, it probably is going to
7:25be the first month where I'm not net
7:27positive with firms in very long time,
7:29like basically a year.
7:32But it happens, you know.
7:34Slower months. I was also kind of
7:36distracted this month. I was trading
7:37like live accounts and
7:39a Robin's cup account.
7:42But no, I did I did uh then I didn't
7:44really buy a lot of
7:46challenges or I wasn't really trading a
7:48lot of prop firms for like
7:50a week and a half or like 2 weeks.
7:53So right now I'm kind of just like
7:56you know,
7:57we have market open.
8:01Right now I'm kind of just like
8:05trying to focus on building up accounts
8:07for uh
8:14Hold on, I'm watching this.
8:17Building up accounts for June.
8:20I want to see how deep we're actually
8:21going to retrace into this.
8:36You saw a trader
8:38who went on a 5-month winning streak.
8:41Do I believe it? Means possible.
8:50All right, I'm kind of watching this
8:52whole area right now to see if
8:55we're going to just run through it or
8:58if we're actually going to potentially
9:02bounce back up.
9:27I will say though, 5 months um all days
9:30green, that's pretty impressive if it's
9:32real.
9:33The longest winning streak I've ever had
9:35was like 31 days, which
9:38is like a
9:40if there's 20 trading it's like a month
9:41and a half.
10:04So, today I'm probably going to be a
10:05little
10:07little more passive. Probably just going
10:08to wait a little bit.
10:10Unless we see
10:12sellers begin to stall somewhere in this
10:14area, actual dominance shifting back
10:17towards the upside then I might try and
10:18take a long, but
10:20for now
10:23I kind of wanted to trade E valves
10:25today, but
10:28and leave my This is a funded account. I
10:30wanted to kind of leave this funded
10:31account alone.
10:38Yeah, like almost 4 years, over 3 and
10:421/2 years
10:44for futures, but before that I traded
10:46crypto
10:50for a while.
10:52What up, Christian?
11:06So, sellers are kind of struggling to
11:09continue down, but we got to wait. We
11:10got to wait a second.
11:16>> [snorts]
11:23>> This might snap back up.
11:33Yeah, anything over 2 weeks
11:35just all green days is pretty
11:37impressive.
11:41But it depends though, like
11:48like let's say your balance your your
11:49account has a balance
11:52and you're you're just like catching
11:54$200 winning days, but
11:57you're
11:59willing to go like
12:03$2,000 in drawdown and then you're just
12:06continuing to trade to just try and
12:08catch like a $200 winning day and you
12:11have a bunch of those. I mean, like
12:14it's impressive that you keep getting
12:15lucky, but that's not really uh
12:17impressive
12:18like impressive skill-wise, if you know
12:20what I'm if you know what I mean.
12:30Cuz some people do that, right? If you
12:31have a big balance in the account, like
12:36and all you keep doing is catching $200
12:38days, but you're
12:40you're going like 3,000 $2,000 in
12:43drawdown just to
12:45catch 200 bucks, it's not really that
12:46impressive.
12:48The luck is impressive though.
12:51All right, so we have this 5-minute
12:52closing. I'm going to see kind of what
12:54we do
12:56after.
12:59See if we're going to continue down
13:01or not.
13:11Let me see if this has fixed itself.
13:16Kind of sketchy to trade while it's
13:19being all messed up, but
13:27Nah, let's not do it. Let's just stick
13:29with this account.
13:36It's pretty nice drop from all-time
13:38high. We'll say that.
13:45Yeah, this is a 5-minute time frame.
14:07So, we're kind of in an area right now
14:09where I would want to kind of look for
14:10longs, but I got to see
14:14confirmation
14:17that I should actually try and take a
14:18long.
14:24It's kind of a lot of selling pressure.
14:27Yeah, it's pretty consistent um selling
14:29pressure right now. So,
14:33got to be kind of careful if you're
14:35going to try and
14:37There needs to be like proper
14:38confirmation. You can't just
14:40blindly try and fade this right now.
14:43Because we can totally be pummeling down
14:45towards London lows and then
14:48back towards 30,000. You know what I
14:51mean? So,
14:52if we're really just going to be
14:54jumping off a cliff like this and
14:56dumping hard, you got to wait for like
15:00proper confirmation before you try and
15:01step in front of this.
15:25>> Capri, I'm looking at
15:28I'm looking at effort
15:30from
15:31I'm looking at effort and then the
15:32outcome of the effort.
15:34It's the easiest way to explain it
15:35without
15:37doing an entire
15:40class in the middle of New York session.
15:44You're watching effort
15:45in terms of buying and selling activity.
15:49And then what is the outcome of that
15:50effort?
15:51So right now there is a lot of effort.
15:55There's high effort
15:56and there's high result from sellers.
15:59They're effectively moving price right
16:01now, right?
16:02So you don't necessarily want to just
16:04like step in front of it.
16:09I mean you can try and short it. If I
16:10mean you would have [ __ ] killed it if
16:12you shorted it.
16:14Imagine you shorted it from the top.
16:19Okay, so it just took London lows.
16:21We're We're sitting at a It's kind of a
16:25key area right here.
16:29If we start
16:31really getting below here
16:36we may actually continue down further
16:38towards
16:4130,000.
16:49I just don't really want to
16:51I just don't really want to short it, to
16:53be honest. I'd rather just not even take
16:55a trade.
16:57Because if we were going to short it, it
16:59won't you know, it's not a good area to
17:01short anymore.
17:03It's kind of late.
17:14Damn, Christian.
17:17Good trade, though.
17:22It's a good trade.
17:48So, we are just going to sit here and
17:51wait. There is a chance, I'm going to be
17:53completely honest with you guys, that I
17:54might not take a trade today.
17:58Bro, I already replied to you.
18:01You said, "In order flow software,
18:03candle is 5-minute time frame?" I said,
18:05"Yes, it is." And then you said,
18:06"5-minute candle you're using in order
18:08flow?" Yes, it is, bro.
18:10>> [laughter]
18:15>> Do you want me to answer? Do you want me
18:16to answer it again?
18:18Yes, this is a 5-minute time frame.
18:21I also have up a 15-minute, a 1-minute,
18:25and a 1-hour.
18:27But, you can't see it because
18:30I can't show you guys
18:32four screens on a single stream.
18:34It would You wouldn't be able to really
18:36see anything.
19:00Okay, it's all right, bro. I'm just
19:02messing with you, by the way.
19:07Dude, we're just going to drop, huh?
19:12Sheesh.
19:15This is the move of the morning. We're
19:16just We're We just got to watch it
19:18happen.
19:20From the highs up there.
19:33Wow.
19:37That's pretty crazy.
19:40We just came back.
19:44We jumped off of a cliff for over 300
19:46points already.
19:48Within the past 40 minutes.
19:52Or hour.
20:25Well, I'm happy at T Glucky. I'm happy
20:27that it's happening at least because
20:29then at least it's given some given some
20:31structure for later.
21:04Like I'd rather just I mean if it's
21:06going to just jump off a cliff, I can't
21:07really
21:08can't really chase it.
21:14I'd rather just
21:17let it go.
21:20And then just allow it today to build
21:23structure.
21:25Cuz I was heading into this morning and
21:26we were like all the way up here.
21:29And I was just like, uh
21:31but this is good, honestly.
21:33I don't even care that Now, okay, if
21:35we're going to continue pushing like
21:36this, I'm watching down here, by the
21:38way.
21:41Although I'm I'm less inclined to try
21:43and take uh
21:46longs at all.
21:51Yeah, we're I mean, we're we're back to
21:5330,000.
21:55But we're running straight through it.
22:01Let's see if we stall or we continue.
22:19Well, you know what? Alpha, it's
22:20actually kind of it's it's kind of
22:24difficult to live stream.
22:29Cuz no offense to anybody, but like
22:34you know, you guys ask me questions and
22:35I'm trying to focus on trading, but the
22:37whole
22:37>> [laughter]
22:38>> the whole purpose of live streaming is
22:41is to talk about it.
22:43But I will tell you, when I'm not live
22:44streaming, I am just totally locked in,
22:47like I will just be listening to music
22:49and I'll be sitting here in absolute
22:50silence, just watching this.
22:54That doesn't mean that you shouldn't ask
22:55me questions or anything. That's purpose
22:57of me live streaming, but
22:59I do understand why people don't live
23:01stream.
23:10There's a lot of volume right now
23:11though.
23:42There actually may be an opportunity for
23:43me to just scalp 25 points for a winning
23:45day.
23:49I'm not convinced in this push up.
23:53Pretty sure it's going to fail. We're
23:54going to roll back over.
23:58Unless we just have the nastiest V-shape
24:00recovery of all time.
24:05That'd actually be pretty crazy.
24:18Yeah, there's this low I was actually
24:19thinking about
24:21potentially shorting it here but I just
24:23it's uncomfortable and probably not a
24:25good idea to short it this late into the
24:27imbalance. It's like a very late stage.
24:31And we're approaching higher time higher
24:33time frame discount which is a terrible
24:35time to try and short it but
24:38but
24:41um
24:49The ATR is huge
24:52for these candles.
24:54At least since the open.
24:57It's probably 50 or 60 points right now.
24:59I mean the last two 5-minute candles
25:00were over 70 points and this one already
25:03is 70 points.
25:05So, with that being said, I mean like
25:07this is a super large area.
25:09You could probably still You can
25:10actually
25:12intra candle scalp it
25:15and still catch like 25 or 50 points.
25:23Which is not necessarily the goal, but
25:24I'm just telling you guys.
25:27It's uh
25:28big.
25:35Um
25:45If this volatility in one direction
25:47comes every day, you can easily be
25:49profitable.
25:52I actually
25:54you know
25:55you you could have just hopped into this
25:58and chased it, but I just
26:00I don't think it's
26:02smart.
26:04Might work today.
26:06But if you try and do that every day,
26:07you're probably going to lose.
26:11Yeah, because if I mean if we're just
26:15What I'm worried about now, just so you
26:17guys know, like if I'm wor-
26:19What I'm worried about is after a large
26:22move like this
26:24All right, what we might do, which would
26:26just totally end my day
26:29is
26:30we find some type of bottom. Like we
26:32bottom out temporarily, whether it's
26:34here, whether we drop down further, it's
26:36here, wherever it is, doesn't matter.
26:38And then we pop back up a little bit and
26:40then once we pop back up, we start
26:43just like kind of chopping.
26:46That the moment that I see that happen,
26:49I got to just not trade
26:51today.
26:54Cuz this was obviously like the move of
26:56the morning. Open up and just dump.
27:00Actually started 5 minutes before the
27:02open.
27:05I mean from the open, we did a straight
27:08shot down
27:11250 points.
27:18But yes, this will make
27:20it easier.
27:22I would much rather have us do this than
27:24just do this in the opposite direction.
27:27This is way better that this is
27:29happening to the downside.
27:46Damn Alpha, you're kind of needy, bro.
27:50>> [laughter]
27:52>> You're kind of needy.
27:53You You real You realize what what I'm
27:55doing right now, Alpha, right?
27:59I'm trading, bro.
28:00I'm
28:01I'm looking at the charts.
28:05I can't
28:07We're not having a one-on-one
28:08conversation right here. I got to focus,
28:10bro.
28:14I'll answer it later.
28:16But when price is moving fast and we're
28:18approaching location, I have I have to
28:20pay attention.
28:51>> So, if we're going to be coming up right
28:53now, I got to be careful that
28:55Well, first I'm watching back around
28:57this area
28:58um where London lows are. But, I got to
29:00be careful that we don't just
29:02have this move down, snap up, and then
29:04just kind of
29:06start chopping sideways and start
29:08finding balance.
29:13Yeah, that's a better idea. Or, Alpha,
29:16you can join the Discord.
29:20And you can just hop in the voice chat
29:22later. I I chill in the voice chat.
29:26You can ask me any question you want
29:29while I'm not in the middle of New York
29:31open when price is moving a million
29:33miles an hour.
29:35And I'm trying to not blow an account
29:38and potentially make money.
29:40I got to focus.
29:43Or, you can ask me after uh I take a
29:45trade, but I haven't taken a trade yet
29:47cuz there's there hasn't been a entry
29:49for me to take one.
29:53No, no trades yet today.
29:55We're just wa- we're just watching it.
29:58>> [snorts]
30:21>> My ATAS is frozen.
30:24So freaking annoying.
30:35Bro, I have these accounts on Alpha
30:37Trader
30:38and they're just like
30:40unusable.
30:44It's killing me, bro.
30:47I have a funded account. I got this
30:49eval. I got other evals on here.
30:53And I just can't trade them.
31:03Oh, it's back up now.
31:06Yeah, it's probably saving me
31:10from potentially a
31:12loss, but it's just like
31:18Dude, my eight passes messing up.
31:26Everything's falling apart right now.
32:05Yeah, is that what the method is? Should
32:06I just close that heat map that I have
32:08up?
32:13Let me try it. That's a That's a good
32:16cuz I got it up on the right side.
32:18Honestly, I I barely use it.
32:21I more so use this on this side.
32:33So, I'm going to wait for it to res- Oh,
32:35there we go.
32:36Close.
32:39Yo, Adam. Woah.
32:41All right.
32:47Fire. That was That was Was that the
32:48problem the whole time, dude?
32:52Was it the heat map that was just
32:53killing me and I'm not even using it?
32:55It's just like
32:57on the other side.
33:00Wow.
33:03I feel like I can I feel like I'm free.
33:06I can move.
33:09How old am I? I'm 25.
33:14Quarter of a century, bro.
33:20Yeah, I switched to ATAS X. I've been
33:22having issues with it constantly, but
33:23you know what? Like
33:25I don't know if it's cuz volume if We'll
33:27see. If volume If we start moving pretty
33:29fast and I can still move my chart
33:30around, then it was definitely the heat
33:33map.
33:34Like 100%.
33:37Quarter of a century. Yes, sir.
33:41Although, I'm about to be 26.
33:45Do I trade full-time?
33:47Um
33:49Well, trading only takes up like
33:582 hours of my day.
34:00So, no. I do other stuff.
34:03I don't necessarily have a have like a
34:05job.
34:07Um
34:08I'm self-employed.
34:13But, no. I mean like I'm not just going
34:14to trade 2 hours out of the day and then
34:16just like
34:17sit on my ass and do nothing
34:20for the rest of the day. Like there's
34:21other [ __ ] to do.
34:24That's the whole purpose of trading.
34:28Frees up
34:30frees up time to do other stuff.
34:40I can be an old bag at 26, I know.
34:46At least I'm Asian though, so I look I
34:48look young.
35:04Alpha, recently I've only been trading
35:05New York open. Yes, I usually There are
35:07times I trade Asia session.
35:10Um
35:13but recently I've been staying away from
35:15Asia session.
35:17Just I I I haven't really been liking it
35:19recently.
35:21Although, unless it's like a Sunday, I
35:23like trading Asia session on Sundays.
35:25It's
35:25my favorite time to trade Asia session.
35:30Especially if there was like some news
35:31over the weekend.
35:33Like I traded uh this Sunday.
35:38This past Sunday.
35:46Because Sundays
35:48when the CME opens after the weekend,
35:51especially if there was some type of
35:52like news over the weekend, we get
35:55pretty decent movement.
36:01Depending on the situation.
36:14Uh Alpha, after hours I
36:18run a business.
36:43>> All right, so
36:44I'm kind of what I talked about a second
36:47ago where we like drop down and then we
36:49kind of pop up. I'm I'm paying attention
36:51if we're going to just like
36:53begin to start bullshitting.
36:59A lot of
37:01because obviously we don't want to trade
37:02that, right?
37:03So like
37:05a lot of traders sometimes will like
37:08do what we just did, right? Watch an
37:10entire move happen, not get an entry,
37:13and then like now they're going to sit
37:14here and try and force something, but
37:15they may start trying to force something
37:19um
37:20once we actually start beginning to chop
37:22and, you know, you didn't trade any of
37:23this, and then if we start beginning to
37:25chop and you trade the chop, it's like
37:26you're probably going to blow your
37:27account.
37:28So I got to make sure we don't do that.
37:31So I'm going to sit here for a second.
37:50But there's a pretty good chance,
37:51unfortunately. I mean, we're going to
37:53see what happens right now cuz the
37:544-hour is opening, but there is a good
37:55chance that I might not uh
37:59I might not have an opportunity to take
38:01a trade today.
38:03Although I'm
38:04I'm fine with it. I took a pre-market
38:06short um actually before I got on
38:08stream, so I'm up like 600 on one of my
38:11evals, which is the one that's on the
38:12screen.
38:14But um and I'm happy that we're coming
38:17down.
38:21We're I'm to see right now. There may be
38:22an opportunity, but my I can't do it on
38:25Alpha Trader actually cuz it's frozen
38:27again.
38:29So maybe we'll do the funded.
38:56Who is my mentors?
38:59TJR.
39:03TJR is my mentor.
39:26TJR TJR taught me everything I know.
39:29I owe my life to that man.
39:49It's like I know there's an opportunity
39:50right now to just try and extract 25
39:53points out of the market, but it just
39:55feels kind of like
40:00like suboptimal.
40:02Oh yeah, that now that's my mentor,
40:04Michael Huddleston.
40:06That's my mentor.
40:09Michael Huddleston.
40:13The creator of the algorithm.
41:05>> So, we're coming back up into the
41:09I'm not anticipating that we do a
41:11V-shape recovery. I think we're probably
41:13going to come back up at potentially
41:18roll back for a second.
41:28I mean, realistically, like that right
41:30there,
41:3325 points is kind of all we need
41:37just to make it a winning day.
41:48Depending on how this 5-minute closes,
41:54I might try and just scalp a short
42:00and just slam break even pretty quickly.
42:13Or not.
42:14We'll see.
42:48Alpha, you're a funny guy, dude.
42:51Are you guilt-tripping him into being
42:52your friend?
43:22Dude, Adam, I think that fixed it, dude.
43:25Thank you. I've been struggling with
43:27that for like 2 weeks now.
43:31We'll see We'll We'll truly see tomorrow
43:33when market actually opens up.
43:36Cuz that's when it really starts
43:39causing problems.
43:51Yeah, my bad for just kind of like
43:53sitting here and not taking a trade.
43:54It's just like there's
43:57It's just how it is sometimes. Like I
43:58just
44:00There's no entry for me to take.
44:03We just dumped off the open and then
44:04we're kind of doing this very suspicious
44:07It's like a very suspicious grind up
44:09right now.
44:12I like the idea of us retracing some of
44:14that drop we did though, but it's just
44:18suspicious.
44:27Deuce, what happened?
44:33Oh, you made too much?
44:42I'll show you later, Deuce.
44:47Oh, you made too much?
44:56Are you copy trading three evals right
44:58now?
45:04Damn.
45:05The goat.
45:07This guy's the goat, I swear.
45:11I'll I'll show you how to do it. Um
45:13you have to set brackets. So
45:20you're on you're on um TradeZ, right?
45:23Okay, so look. Up here on TradeZ
45:27you're going to see this button.
45:33It's [snorts] going to be like the the
45:35settings button on the
45:36Oh, you can't see this. On the risk
45:38settings, what you're going to do is
45:42you're going Well, first of all, is that
45:45coming from today?
45:48Like, are those extra profits coming
45:50from today? Oh, woah, what was that? The
45:53whole money man that
45:55brutal.
45:58I'll tell you how to do it later, Deuce.
45:59Just don't touch the accounts.
46:06Dude, something about that grind up was
46:08just like
46:10it's just fishy.
46:15Or this could be the attempt to go lower
46:17and we actually fail and start really
46:18moving up, but
46:23that was um
46:2760 points in the blink of an eye.
47:01We're having some good volume though. I
47:02think I'm going to sit here for a little
47:04while and see if anything presents
47:05itself.
47:07Um
47:08do I live off of payouts? No, I do other
47:10stuff, too, but is it a good
47:12supplementary income when I make money
47:13trading prop firms? Absolutely.
47:18Do I have
47:20plans to trade my own capital?
47:23Uh I do.
47:26I do, but the the return on investment
47:29for funded accounts is just
47:32you can't beat it with a live account to
47:34be completely honest.
47:38Like prop firms are such an amazing
47:39opportunity if you can trade them
47:41properly.
47:42Um
47:45think about it like this, okay?
47:47You buy an account for 100 bucks, no
47:49activation fee, you pass it, you get a
47:50payout, you make a thousand bucks, okay?
47:52Just a thousand dollar payout.
47:54You You turned 100 bucks
47:57into a thousand dollars. Right?
48:01Now, if you go try and do that in a live
48:03account, and the same goes for bigger
48:06numbers, too.
48:07It's just like a much better the payoff
48:10structure is a convex payoff structure,
48:12meaning that your downside is capped,
48:13like
48:15and the upside is potentially, you know,
48:17theoretically unlimited, but
48:21it's just way better, and you have your
48:24trading sim funds, so you don't have to
48:27worry about proper margin requirements.
48:31Right? Like I know plenty of you guys
48:33probably get to the point where you have
48:35like five hundred dollars left in your
48:37account, and then you go and you slam
48:39five minis, and then you make it back.
48:40You cannot do that in a live account.
48:44Your broker won't allow you to do it.
48:48So,
48:50um
48:51prop firms are great. They should
48:53honestly be used while they're before
48:55they really start making the rules
48:57worse, worse, worse, and worse, or
48:59before like real regulation steps in. I
49:01believe everybody should be trying to
49:04trade prop firms and extract as much
49:06money out of them as possible
49:08while you have the opportunity to do it,
49:10cuz you don't know how long it's going
49:11to be last, you know, look, if you've
49:13been in the industry long enough, you've
49:14seen the progression of how prop firms
49:18change rules,
49:19and
49:21>> [clears throat]
49:22>> progressively actually get worse,
49:27or get or have tighter uh
49:30criteria.
49:32Do I run other businesses? Yes, I do.
50:07>> My plan right now is to sit here
50:10as long as volume is good. Okay, so I'm
50:12watching this number.
50:14We've been floating around, you know,
50:16pretty high volume. So, there's a lot of
50:18participation right now.
50:20The ATR is still pretty large.
50:24If I can just find an opportunity to try
50:26and snag like 25 or 50 points out of the
50:29market,
50:30I will absolutely try and do it to get a
50:32winning day for this funded account.
50:34If there
50:35isn't an opportunity that I like, then
50:38it is what it is, but I I'm going to
50:40have a hard cut-off time in about 45
50:42minutes where I'm just probably not
50:43going to
50:45uh I'm just going to go do something
50:46else, but
50:49I will sit here as long as volume is
50:50chill. If volume begins to taper off
50:52though, and we start getting to low 20s
50:54or under 20,000 contracts traded on the
50:56MNQ contract
50:59on a 5-minute candle,
51:01then that's a hard cut-off
51:04for me.
51:08But, I think if we wait here, we may
51:09find an opportunity.
51:12I would not be opposed to us making
51:14another low and then potentially looking
51:16for a long to come back up.
51:23Just trying to scalp a long.
51:29Or potentially even looking for an
51:30opportunity to short to make another
51:32low, but not right now.
51:42>> [snorts]
51:48>> Right now, Just send it.
51:56Nah.
51:57I mean,
51:58because this [clears throat] month has
51:59been pretty bad for me. It's the worst
52:01month I've had in a while.
52:04I got to be like
52:06little
52:07little passive, more chill.
52:10Go long if you want to lose. Go short if
52:12you want to lose more.
52:14Hmm.
52:18I wanted to trade Evals today, but I
52:20can't.
52:22Unless I
52:24Dude, Alpha Trader, I hope they they
52:27fix it, dude.
52:29I have accounts sitting on there that I
52:30just bought.
52:32Like last week.
52:35That I can't really use.
52:40It's killing me.
52:56>> [snorts]
53:16>> So, we are kind of just like stabling
53:18out a little bit or
53:21around like 30,000.
53:49>> Dude, stop trading it, bro. I will tell
53:51you how to fix it. You're just going to
53:53make it worse.
54:00It's so simple.
54:02You just have the commissions take away
54:04your money. You have to set a super
54:06tight bracket on both sides.
54:12Set a Set Set your ATM or your bracket.
54:17Right now, it says ATM off. Put ATM on.
54:21Set a bracket where it's like
54:24a couple ticks above, a couple ticks
54:26below, and then just use like really
54:27heavy micros, and then you spam them.
54:33And then it'll go down.
54:35Because you're going to If you use like
54:3730 micros,
54:41and it's taking commission from 30 Oh,
54:43whoops. And it's taking commission from
54:4430 micros,
54:47but your TP is set for like
54:50$15 or one tick above and below, you're
54:53going to
54:54have your balance go down. I'll show you
54:56how to do it.
55:00But, that's all you got to do.
55:07Yeah, you Where it says ATM at the top,
55:10where it says off, it says ATM.
55:14You click it,
55:15and you make it say on.
55:20And then you change the bracket
55:21settings.
55:23So, it's literally like
55:26a couple ticks above and below, and then
55:28you just spam micros.
55:30You have to make sure you have a stop
55:32and a TP, though.
55:40>> [laughter]
55:47>> Yeah, money man, can you help him,
55:48please?
56:18It might be an opportunity to try and
56:19just scalp a short.
56:53Oh, no, it froze.
56:56Maybe it wasn't the heat map.
57:32I'm going to see how this 5-minute
57:33candle closes.
57:44I've been trading futures for over 3 and
57:461/2 years.
57:53I started using order flow maybe
57:55after the first year of trading.
58:15Oh, I got a terrible fill. I was looking
58:18at the wrong thing.
58:21All right. Well, I went in three micros.
58:25We're just going to go for a one-to-one.
58:27See if we can go make some new lows.
58:30We're struggling to push above this
58:32area, so
58:34we'll see if we can get back below 30k.
58:36That was kind of a That was like the
58:38worst possible entry I could have
58:39gotten, to be completely honest.
59:06But, I was watching this area, if you're
59:08wondering why I took that. I'm watching
59:09this area, and I was watching this
59:11candle fail to push past uh
59:13It's like a low-volume node with a
59:14stacked imbalance inside of it.
59:17And then, once this candle started to uh
59:20drop down, I had like a delayed reaction
59:23to it.
59:25And then, I got like I was looking at
59:28um TradeStation
59:30and the candle was up here and I clicked
59:32sell and then it filled me right here
59:34cuz I guess it was lagging behind
59:35because it was moving pretty quickly.
59:40So we're just going to hope that
59:43what I said about us doing this drop
59:46down push up and then consolidate is not
59:49going to happen because if that's going
59:50to happen then I literally caught the
59:51bottom of where about to range back if
59:53we're about to create a range and snap
59:55back.
1:00:09We're just trying to get a winning day
1:00:10on the Lucid account.
1:00:22But this is not a good sign that we're
1:00:24not having follow through right now.
1:00:28When you see sellers start stepping in
1:00:31with some yeah, with some stacked
1:00:33imbalances. All right, I'm going to move
1:00:34it to break even.
1:00:37We'll see we could just go make a
1:00:40take these orders at 950
1:00:42go make a new low. We'll be up 367.
1:00:46So be a little over 50 points. I know I
1:00:48did get in late choosy it was pretty
1:00:49nasty.
1:00:56I was waiting for that. I was waiting
1:00:57for us to basically
1:01:00what I was looking at is we were
1:01:05making a push up. We came down. We were
1:01:07trying to make another push up. I was
1:01:09watching this area.
1:01:12And then when we put in a lower high
1:01:14basically we're a failure to push
1:01:16higher. We started seeing sellers come
1:01:18in but it happened really fast and I
1:01:19ended up catching a terrible entry.
1:01:24I'm just going to hit our break even.
1:01:28Actually, let's move it to break even.
1:01:30Actually, Trade C gives me terrible
1:01:31slippage. I'm going to leave it right
1:01:33there.
1:01:44Oh, you got in at 68. Nice. That's a way
1:01:47better entry than me.
1:01:52It's a way better entry than me.
1:01:55That's why I have to move it to break
1:01:57even cuz it's such a [ __ ] entry.
1:02:02We'll see if we get lucky.
1:02:24Why they do what for, money man?
1:02:31Oh, slippage? I don't know. Like
1:02:34I just I've noticed that it happens. If
1:02:36price moves really quickly on Trade C, I
1:02:38get nasty
1:02:40slippage. So, I have to I can't go break
1:02:43even or I'm going to lose. There's also
1:02:44times where I've literally had like
1:02:50I was sta- a stop loss like five ticks
1:02:52in profit
1:02:54and then it takes me out for a
1:03:08All right, I'm locking in a winning day.
1:03:10I don't care.
1:03:14Locking in a winning day.
1:03:16So, it'll just it'll count.
1:03:21It's about 50 points in profit right
1:03:23now. Now, it's not. So, we got out for
1:03:25like 30 points.
1:03:27Three micros, 200 bucks.
1:03:33We
1:03:40Honestly, that was a terrible trade. I'm
1:03:41sorry.
1:03:43That was terrible.
1:03:49I'm going to sit here for a second,
1:03:50though.
1:03:53Let's see if Let's see if there's
1:03:54another oppor- a better opportunity, cuz
1:03:56that was a late entry.
1:04:02We took ourselves out of that kind of
1:04:03early.
1:04:10No, we definitely took ourselves out of
1:04:11that early, but
1:04:18we're coming into uh
1:04:24We're coming into this other area where
1:04:25I'm potentially looking for
1:04:28a long opportunity, just to
1:04:31see if we can scalp like 25 points again
1:04:34or 50 points or
1:04:36Honestly, 100 points right now is like
1:04:43really not that
1:04:46really not that much.
1:04:53Which is kind of crazy to say.
1:05:02But yeah, that was definitely uh a [ __ ]
1:05:04trade. That was a pretty shitty trade.
1:05:18>> Very nice.
1:05:41So, I'm watching within this area. I'm
1:05:44looking at
1:05:46I'm looking at this.
1:05:48There's a tighter zone.
1:05:51Make it yellow.
1:06:12What a nice dump today, though.
1:06:27>> [snorts]
1:07:31>> I'm just seeing if there's an
1:07:32opportunity for me to try and go long in
1:07:34this area, but I'm going to wait for
1:07:36this 5-minute
1:07:41to close and the next 5-minute to open
1:07:44up.
1:08:48I do not trust this move up whatsoever.
1:08:52I'd like it to come down here.
1:09:23>> Yeah, I've been sizing pretty light
1:09:24recently, money man.
1:09:29Like yesterday I went two micros. I
1:09:31mean, I caught 100 points with two
1:09:33micros, but it was still two micros. And
1:09:35then today I'm using like three micros.
1:09:50Yeah, the moves are pretty big. The
1:09:52candles are pretty large.
1:10:55No, I don't watch the TPO chart,
1:10:57Christian.
1:10:58>> I'm
1:10:59going to make you
1:11:15All right.
1:11:16Let me see.
1:11:26I'm going to try it right here,
1:11:28actually.
1:11:30I'm going to have a pretty tight stop.
1:11:32I'm going to risk the profits.
1:11:40We'll risk the profits.
1:11:42Which is kind of sketchy to do, but it's
1:11:44all right. We'll We'll move it to break
1:11:45even pretty quickly.
1:11:48If it does start popping up.
1:12:06All right, I am going to actually move
1:12:08this to break even.
1:12:11Cuz I If we're going to come up, I
1:12:13actually want us to come up pretty fast
1:12:15right here. Otherwise, I don't really
1:12:16want to be in it anymore.
1:12:19But, the new 5 minutes about to open.
1:12:23So, we're already 25 points in profit.
1:12:25Um I could just try and scalp it. But, I
1:12:29want to see if we're going to get a push
1:12:30up um a little higher before we hit
1:12:33break even.
1:12:34At the new 5-minute open. I need us to
1:12:36create a little bit of room, though.
1:12:39Um like that. So, I need us to kind of
1:12:41close up here.
1:12:43And then, I think we should be all
1:12:44right.
1:12:51So,
1:12:53at this point, if we close like this,
1:12:56good. All right. Now, I'm going to trail
1:12:58my stop to the open of this.
1:13:02And I'm really just going to try and
1:13:03capture like 50 points. I'm not trying
1:13:05to catch some crazy um
1:13:09I'll actually take it to the top of this
1:13:11candle. I'm not trying to capture some
1:13:13crazy move.
1:13:15I just want to see if I can get a little
1:13:17uh scalp. I had this level sitting here.
1:13:20We took the low. It was kind of looked
1:13:22kind of sketchy to take it, but
1:13:25I trust I trusted it.
1:13:28And I was able to have kind of a tighter
1:13:30stop loss.
1:13:33We're we're risking profits, so it's all
1:13:35right.
1:13:49So, we're
1:13:50kind of floating around 50 points right
1:13:52now.
1:13:56Should I do this again?
1:13:58It's going to take me out and then go
1:13:59hit TP if I do this again.
1:14:05You know what? I'll put it right here.
1:14:07We'll lock in 25 points. How about that?
1:14:12All right. So,
1:14:14little scalp. Little scalp. Looks kind
1:14:16of It looked kind of sketchy.
1:14:20But,
1:14:24we're at 500. We're at 500 on the
1:14:26funded.
1:14:28Watch Do you imagine that's low day and
1:14:30we just do some crazy pump right now?
1:14:38Uh I could I totally could have passed
1:14:41those other evals if I could have traded
1:14:42them today, dude.
1:14:47It is what it is. They just don't want
1:14:48me to win.
1:14:51They just don't want me to win.
1:14:53So so far, what is that? We we caught 30
1:14:55points on that shitty short. That was
1:14:57This one was a much better trade,
1:14:59honestly.
1:15:02So we got 30 points and then three
1:15:08Let me turn on my
1:15:15Where did I get in?
1:15:17I think I got in somewhere over here.
1:15:28Yeah, like 60 points, probably.
1:15:34So 90 We'll just say 90 points. Three
1:15:36Well, no, we could do this easier. Let's
1:15:38just do the math.
1:15:40I used three micros both times.
1:15:51376 ticks.
1:15:54Yeah, 94 points. All right, we caught 94
1:15:57points just doing two quick scalps with
1:16:00three micros
1:16:03to make $565.
1:16:06All right. Well,
1:16:09that's the end of that.
1:16:13Are you guys Oh, you know what I'm going
1:16:15to do here? Let's do this.
1:16:20Wait, how do you do this?
1:16:21Let's create a poll.
1:16:25Let's do a P&L check before I get off.
1:16:28And I chill here for a second.
1:16:38I'm going to do it on here, too.
1:16:40Start a poll.
1:16:43Up.
1:16:44P&L check.
1:16:47We're going to do
1:16:48green,
1:16:50red. Dude, this thing is going to
1:16:53Imagine this thing runs, bro. [ __ ]
1:16:56It's all right.
1:16:57Start the poll.
1:17:01Come on, one vote.
1:17:07Yeah, I don't blame you if you're flat.
1:17:13I don't blame you if you're flat.
1:17:17Today was a little bit of a
1:17:21a weird day.
1:17:23Not a weird day. It was actually really
1:17:24good, to be completely honest. I mean,
1:17:28we dropped like
1:17:30250 points off the open, came up 123
1:17:34points, dropped back down another 200
1:17:37points, and then now we're coming back
1:17:39up 100 points. I mean, phew. Those are
1:17:41massive moves.
1:17:43You could have literally scalped any of
1:17:44this
1:17:45if you had the direction right, at
1:17:47least.
1:17:50Man, we caught a pretty good entry down
1:17:51there.
1:17:56Dude, I'm telling you guys
1:17:59If you guys You guys got to use my
1:18:01indicator, bro. This thing cooks.
1:18:05This thing cooks. This is what I was
1:18:07basing that level off of, by the way.
1:18:09And also a little bit of gamma.
1:18:13This thing cooks, I'm telling you.
1:18:18You got it It's free.
1:18:21It's based off of historical data, too.
1:18:26And it has rolling calculations.
1:18:30Test it out. You guys got to test it
1:18:32out, dude.
1:18:33I'm so proud of that indicator. I use it
1:18:35every day.
1:18:36And honestly, I think it cooks.
1:18:45All right, let's take a Let's take a
1:18:46look.
1:18:52All right, Gurpreet.
1:18:54Not a bad day to sit out. There wasn't a
1:18:56lot of uh
1:18:58Yeah, next time I should hold.
1:19:02Where Where did I get in? Somewhere
1:19:03around like 900 or somewhere like right
1:19:05here.
1:19:07Ah.
1:19:11Ah.
1:19:14You know what? But you can't be
1:19:16You can't be Mr. Shoulda, coulda,
1:19:18woulda. You know what I mean?
1:19:27Can't be Mr. Shoulda, woulda, coulda.
1:19:31Uh the name of the indicator is called
1:19:34NQ volatility range.
1:19:38You got to claim access to it by joining
1:19:40the community though.
1:19:42It's a free indicator, but you got to be
1:19:43a part of the community.
1:19:46It's not a lot to ask for
1:19:48to be completely honest
1:19:50for what I had to do to make that
1:19:52indicator. I did not It's not just about
1:19:54vibe coding some indicator and putting
1:19:56static levels. I had to
1:19:58basically
1:19:59download
1:20:01Well, I downloaded 18 years of NQ open
1:20:04high low close data.
1:20:07No, it's for NQ
1:20:08because it's statistical uh
1:20:11volatility averages based off of
1:20:15I narrowed it down to 8 years of data
1:20:19for on average
1:20:21how high does price deviate above and
1:20:24below
1:20:25Asia session
1:20:27high and low.
1:20:29And then it marks out uh deviations.
1:20:32But they change. They're not static.
1:20:34They're based off of a rolling
1:20:36calculation for the daily range.
1:20:39And
1:20:41they cook. Honestly, they cook.
1:20:45They're great references of location. So
1:20:47like
1:20:49Let me give you an example, okay?
1:20:51Let's say that
1:20:55Let's say that I'm looking at I'm I'm
1:20:56already looking at this area. Now, why
1:20:58am I looking at this area? Because it's
1:21:02I'm looking at discount of the current
1:21:03active like 1-hour range, right? So I'm
1:21:06already looking in this area. So this is
1:21:08first area of location.
1:21:12Now, when I'm looking at this
1:21:15in the same spot is also
1:21:19where the uh
1:21:22the average volatility range is sitting
1:21:24for deviations below
1:21:27Asia session.
1:21:29So it stacks. So then what did I do?
1:21:31Well, I just drew it inside of this
1:21:33area.
1:21:35And then I see this low right here on a
1:21:36lower time frame.
1:21:40And I notice that this area is sitting
1:21:42right after we sweep this. So it just
1:21:46I don't know. It's just like good
1:21:48location.
1:21:50Good location to try and take a trade.
1:21:52So then when we took it, I don't know if
1:21:54you guys remember what happened, but
1:21:56when we come down, we snapped pretty
1:21:59hard and we took it and then we just
1:22:00stopped.
1:22:01We like snapped, came back up, and then
1:22:04stopped.
1:22:06I kind of entered a little early, okay?
1:22:09Realistically, the safer trade in that
1:22:12is you should have actually waited for
1:22:14this candle to close. And then you would
1:22:16have waited for this candle to retrace
1:22:17towards the POC and once it flipped
1:22:19bullish, you would actually go long.
1:22:21That's like a safer way to take that
1:22:22trade.
1:22:24But I I want to go from green to red on
1:22:26the day, so I kind of just like the
1:22:28moment we started stalling after that
1:22:30snap down from the sellers, I just
1:22:33entered in long.
1:22:38Um Mel, it's in the it's in the WAP.
1:22:41It's in the WAP. You could just uh claim
1:22:43it.
1:22:44You can't search it up. I have
1:22:46indicators that are just on TradingView,
1:22:49but
1:22:51you can't necessarily just like search
1:22:53that one up.
1:22:55Cuz I thought to myself, that the the
1:22:58indicator that I made for that is
1:22:59usually something that people would
1:23:00charge for, but I didn't want to charge
1:23:02for it because I thought it was cool and
1:23:04I want people to use it.
1:23:07So then all you got to do is just like
1:23:11be in the community and claim it, you
1:23:13know.
1:23:14Uh if you have different accounts on
1:23:16TradingView,
1:23:19first of all, why do you have different
1:23:20accounts on TradingView? Why don't you
1:23:22just use the same TradingView account?
1:23:25But, you can claim it.
1:23:27But, I think you might need to make two
1:23:29WAP accounts then because the
1:23:31TradingView username is associated with
1:23:33your WAP.
1:23:35All right, let me take a look at this.
1:23:38We got four votes for green,
1:23:41one vote for red,
1:23:43one vote for BE.
1:23:46Not bad.
1:23:47Not bad. What is YouTube? How's YouTube
1:23:49doing?
1:23:51I'm going to end the poll for YouTube.
1:23:58We got 50% green, 25% red, 25% BE.
1:24:05Not bad.
1:24:07Seems that majority is green for the
1:24:09day.
1:24:15All right. Well,
1:24:17honestly, pretty decent day. Two trades,
1:24:19two wins. First trade was kind of
1:24:21shitty, second trade was a lot better.
1:24:23Um
1:24:24we caught 94 points.
1:24:26We used small size.
1:24:29And
1:24:31I'm probably just going to call it
1:24:32there.
1:24:33We'll come back tomorrow. I hope the
1:24:34rest of the day here we actually begin
1:24:36to create a little structure. Um I hope
1:24:39we actually pop up a little bit and then
1:24:41roll back over so that there's more
1:24:42internal structure sitting within here.
1:24:45And then if that happens, then maybe
1:24:46tomorrow might actually be
1:24:50easier for me to plan out pre-market.
1:24:53So I'll catch you guys
1:24:56tomorrow. Well,
1:24:59yeah, it's Wednesday. Tomorrow. I'll
1:25:00catch you guys tomorrow.
1:25:03Peace.
