- 0:28Yo, what up?
- 0:30>> [clears throat]
- 0:30>> I'm starting the morning down today, but
- 0:36we'll see if we can
- 0:38make it back.
- 0:41Although
- 0:42this open is probably going to be kind
- 0:44of nasty.
- 0:58Yeah.
- 1:01Thanks, I appreciate it.
- 1:14So, I tried to trade yesterday during
- 1:17the CME open.
- 1:20And I got I got clapped.
- 1:24So,
- 1:26we're start we're starting down like 500
- 1:28on the day.
- 1:31I'm going to If I lose a trade though,
- 1:34like if I take another trade and I lose,
- 1:37I'm just going to have to stop.
- 1:41Cuz then at that point I'll be down like
- 1:45$800 on the day.
- 1:49So, I kind of screwed myself by trying
- 1:51to trade yesterday, but
- 1:55it is what it is.
- 2:06Ooh, that's brutal.
- 2:14Yeah, yesterday was crazy. I mean
- 2:18we uh
- 2:22we dropped I mean, if you include the
- 2:24gap, we went down like 600 points, yeah.
- 2:27650 points.
- 2:31And then we pumped all the way back up.
- 2:35For like almost 500 points. Now, we're
- 2:37probably about to push push up at the
- 2:39open.
- 2:46I thought we were I was watching this
- 2:48before I got on stream. I thought we
- 2:50were going to at least like sweep past
- 2:52this and then come up, but I don't know.
- 2:54This is like uh we're balanced out right
- 2:56now, so
- 2:59kind of a sketchy area
- 3:02to trade for me, especially at the open.
- 3:05But, if we do push up, then I would be
- 3:07expecting us to push into like 50% of
- 3:09the weekly opening gap.
- 3:15If I lose a trade though, I got to just
- 3:16call it and then I'm going to go trade
- 3:18some e-vals.
- 3:20And go full port some e-vals.
- 3:47>> Order filled.
- 3:48>> I'm going to go long right here. And
- 3:50then the moment that we take uh the
- 3:53highs, I'm just going to move it to
- 3:54break even.
- 3:58Look, kind of uh
- 4:01kind of sketchy.
- 4:06But I at least expect us to take the
- 4:08highs. Okay.
- 4:12I'm just going to go break even right
- 4:13now. We're going to let it ride. We're
- 4:15going to see if we can get up to
- 4:17like 550.
- 4:24550 would be
- 4:26um
- 4:27halfway to the gap, so
- 4:29or half half of the gap.
- 4:33So, if we can
- 4:34push [clears throat] up there, it'll put
- 4:35me back up on the day.
- 4:42Oh, it's kind of hard to see.
- 4:46Yeah, but if it slam if it slams back
- 4:48down, hits me at break even, then
- 4:52it's all right. We'll just wait for
- 4:54another setup at that point.
- 5:05Oh, yeah. I I treat
- 5:07evals way different than I treat funded
- 5:10accounts. Evals, I just full port them.
- 5:15But that's because like I I can pull
- 5:17payouts, and then I use profits to
- 5:19full port evals.
- 5:21But um
- 5:23if you don't really pull payouts, I
- 5:25would just treat them the same.
- 5:34We need to start seeing like a push.
- 5:36Otherwise, we're just we went up here to
- 5:38take the highs, and we're just going to
- 5:39slam back down to this range.
- 5:47I I to see like a strong push past here.
- 5:51Start targeting 550.
- 5:57Cuz I think this trade so far went like,
- 6:00I don't know.
- 6:03Let me see. 25 or 50 points in profit.
- 6:08I just need it to continue. Yeah, like
- 6:1050 points in profit.
- 6:14Could have covered RL, but I do want to
- 6:16try and hold it to uh
- 6:2150% of the N log.
- 6:25No, I passed it in 2 days. They allow a
- 6:27buffer, so
- 6:29you can just like
- 6:32make like 1550
- 6:35the first day, 1550 the second day.
- 6:47Yeah, we're about to come back.
- 6:57>> Order filled.
- 6:58>> All right, so we're going to wait now.
- 7:00We pushed past the highs and then we
- 7:02really didn't
- 7:04have any strong follow through.
- 7:12So now I'm wondering
- 7:16I know everyone's watching this uh
- 7:19opening gap right now.
- 7:23But
- 7:31I'm going to just have to wait.
- 7:49>> I got to
- 7:50I I probably shouldn't have traded Asia
- 7:53yesterday though cuz
- 7:56it's always like it sucks starting in
- 7:58the red for New York.
- 9:02I mean I have DOM levels right here.
- 9:04These white levels are DOM levels.
- 9:09But no, I use candlesticks.
- 10:15>> Hold on, give me a second.
- 10:31Ooh, this is kind of chilly.
- 10:36All right, so we took the highs and
- 10:37we're coming back down to the middle of
- 10:38this range, so
- 10:43going to wait and watch
- 10:51if we're actually going to continue down
- 10:53and start targeting
- 10:54here if we're going to just whip lash
- 10:56around.
- 10:59So, I got to just wait and see.
- 11:05For fundeds?
- 11:07No.
- 11:09If you go for one massive day, if that's
- 11:11like your mindset, you're going to try
- 11:13and trade
- 11:14and like say like, "Oh, I'm going to
- 11:15just catch one massive day."
- 11:18You're probably going to blow your
- 11:19account.
- 11:25Just trade a funded account normally.
- 11:28Just take normal trades.
- 11:32Now, if by chance, like if it just
- 11:34happens that you have a massive day,
- 11:36then yeah, you can just
- 11:39get $150 days, but
- 11:47Like that's what I did uh last month cuz
- 11:50my balance on my XFA was like $26,000 or
- 11:53something.
- 11:55So, I needed to get the money out of it.
- 11:56So, I was just doing like $150 days.
- 12:00But, don't go into a funded account
- 12:02thinking you're going to
- 12:04Don't like try and hit a massive day.
- 12:11Especially if you've never gotten a
- 12:12payout before.
- 12:14Just try and trade normally.
- 12:24This 15-minute right now looks nasty.
- 12:26Look at that.
- 13:33>> So, if we're going to come down, I do
- 13:34want to see us take out these lows, but
- 13:36I just don't really want to take it in
- 13:38here because
- 13:41I mean
- 13:42we're sitting in a pretty large range
- 13:44and I'm already in drawdown from last
- 13:45night, so
- 13:48I'm worried
- 13:49essentially that we're just going to
- 13:54[Â __Â ] around, but
- 13:58we'll we'll see. It's better to probably
- 14:01just wait.
- 14:04Cuz even if you did try and take a trade
- 14:06right here to target the lows, you would
- 14:07have like a pretty shitty risk reward.
- 14:20Good morning.
- 14:41But yeah, so
- 14:43kind of where my mind sits at this
- 14:45morning since I did take a L last night
- 14:48and we made a massive move overnight.
- 14:51I'm kind of like suspicious about New
- 14:53York. There is a chance that we do come
- 14:56down and we retrace into some of this
- 14:58overnight push up.
- 15:02Um but I would have preferred to see
- 15:04that actually before we took this high.
- 15:10Cuz the way that I trade
- 15:13it sometimes it's difficult for me or
- 15:15it's like not really preferred if the
- 15:17sessions for the overnight were like
- 15:19massive.
- 15:24So, I'm kind of just like
- 15:28going to be a little pat a little
- 15:30passive today because
- 15:32I'm already down like 500 bucks, so.
- 16:08So, we'll see if we can find an
- 16:09opportunity to get out of that hole, but
- 16:14I'm more concerned about making it
- 16:15worse, to be honest.
- 16:24But, if we do slam down right now,
- 16:27take these orders, take the lows, then I
- 16:29want to see what price is going to do
- 16:31after that.
- 17:19>> I'll be there.
- 17:42>> But this week, this week the main goal
- 17:46is to start building my
- 17:48funded army back up.
- 17:52My army of funded accounts.
- 18:01I'm not even really worried about this
- 18:02month anymore. I'm I kind of [Â __Â ] it
- 18:04up
- 18:06in the beginning.
- 18:07So, we're going to just try and uh
- 18:09focus on building up for a good April.
- 18:12It's kind of where my mind's at right
- 18:14now.
- 19:35>> But now that we're approaching these
- 19:36lows, what I don't really want to see is
- 19:38I don't really want to see us
- 19:41do this.
- 19:43Because
- 19:48what what I want to see is I want to see
- 19:50us not chop around and consolidate for
- 19:54the open.
- 19:59So, we had orders sitting here.
- 20:01We had the low sitting here right on on
- 20:04MNQ. We didn't take it on NQ, but
- 20:10cleaner price action would have pushed
- 20:12through
- 20:14at least into like this area or to
- 20:17target here.
- 20:20But if we're just going to wick this and
- 20:21then slam back into this range,
- 20:27this is a
- 20:29a no-touch zone for me.
- 20:43I hope this week is different than last
- 20:45week though, cuz last week we kept
- 20:46having these massive moves during the
- 20:49overnight and then
- 20:51New York
- 20:53was delivering kind of weird.
- 21:11>> Which is kind of like what's happening
- 21:13right now, but
- 22:32If we stay in here though, like
- 22:35Basically [clears throat]
- 22:39I'm I'm going to wait for the hourly.
- 22:42But
- 22:43The hourly to open like the 4-hour and
- 22:45the hourly Here at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.
- 22:49If this just kind of stays doing this
- 22:54I'm just going to lock out.
- 22:57Take the L that I created for myself
- 22:59Last night.
- 23:01And then just wait for tomorrow.
- 23:15I need to see like some directional
- 23:17movement.
- 26:18>> We're just bullshitting.
- 26:19Hopefully the
- 26:23the hourly candle is going to cause us
- 26:25to do something.
- 26:53>> You are
- 26:56You are
- 27:02You are
- 27:07With someone you are
- 27:13With someone you are
- 27:43With someone you are
- 27:49With someone you are
- 29:04>> I'm just waiting for the outlet to open.
- 31:26>> Dude, are any of you guys trading this
- 31:28right now?
- 31:31I mean, maybe if you're on like a
- 31:33smaller time frame.
- 31:34No, even the 1-minute looks like dog
- 31:36[Â __Â ]
- 33:15>> So we have the hourly that's going to
- 33:16open. If it doesn't do anything,
- 33:20I'm just not going to trade today.
- 33:23I'm already in drawdown from last night,
- 33:24so
- 33:26You know what You know what's the worst
- 33:28idea is?
- 33:30For me to be in drawdown from last
- 33:32night. We make two massive moves.
- 33:35And then what are you going to do? Try
- 33:36and trade this?
- 33:38Uh,
- 33:39I don't think so.
- 33:40I don't think so.
- 33:42I'll just take I'll just take my L.
- 33:46Not going to trick me.
- 34:04And then I'm just going to hope that
- 34:08I'm going to hope that
- 34:09tomorrow, or realistically tonight,
- 34:13we don't have
- 34:15a massive
- 34:17I swear, dude, it's like
- 34:2070% of the time,
- 34:23probably. I mean, that's not I didn't
- 34:25run any statistics on it, but it feels
- 34:27like 70% of the time, when we have a
- 34:30large ass move overnight and they're
- 34:33directional, too.
- 34:35New York opens up and just bullshits.
- 34:45So, whenever I see that, I'm always
- 34:46like, ah.
- 34:48I'm always like cautious about
- 34:52New York session. And then, that's also
- 34:53why I tried to trade Asia last night
- 34:56because I had a feeling that was going
- 34:57to happen today, but
- 35:00I just [Â __Â ] up.
- 35:02Just so you know what I lost on, by the
- 35:04way, last night.
- 35:05I thought after this drop
- 35:08that we were going to sweep and then
- 35:10come back up. So, I went long like
- 35:13somewhere right here. I can't really
- 35:15remember. I think it was somewhere right
- 35:16here after we took the lows.
- 35:18Yeah.
- 35:20Yeah, I probably went long somewhere
- 35:22right here.
- 35:23And then, I got stopped out.
- 35:27So, that was an L. We dropped like
- 35:29another
- 35:31200 points.
- 36:29All right.
- 36:31This
- 36:35I'm actually not going to trade this.
- 36:38As CEO of Thrax Trades, I'm making the
- 36:40executive decision that we are going to
- 36:42stay out of the market for New York
- 36:44session.
- 36:46We tried to
- 36:48take a long and a target 50% of the uh
- 36:52of the gap.
- 36:53We went like 50 points in profit.
- 36:56We're about 20 points away from our TP
- 36:58and it turned around.
- 37:01And then after we we basically swept the
- 37:04lows of this uh
- 37:07of this range and now we're popping back
- 37:08up. Now
- 37:12yes, there could be moves.
- 37:15You know, there's probably opportunity,
- 37:17sure, but like for me
- 37:22if I lose more money trading some
- 37:24[Â __Â ] like this,
- 37:26I'm actually going to be pretty
- 37:27disappointed in myself. So,
- 37:32sorry it's a sorry that it's a shorter
- 37:34stream today, but you know what? I can't
- 37:36I can't trade this. So,
- 37:38we're just going to lock out.
- 37:42Locked out of that. We'll take our L
- 37:43from last night. We tried to go long, it
- 37:45didn't work out. We dropped another 200
- 37:47points.
- 37:48And we'll just come back tomorrow
- 37:51because
- 37:52you could try and trade this and if you
- 37:54do, just be careful, but I just don't
- 37:56want to trade it.
- 37:58I think there's probably a good chance
- 38:00if I trade this I'm going to lose. So,
- 38:03I'll catch you guys
- 38:04next time.
- 38:06It'll be a quick one today. If you're
- 38:08going to trade, good luck, be careful,
- 38:10and peace.
