  1. 0:28Yo, what up?
  2. 0:30>> [clears throat]
  3. 0:30>> I'm starting the morning down today, but
  4. 0:36we'll see if we can
  5. 0:38make it back.
  6. 0:41Although
  7. 0:42this open is probably going to be kind
  8. 0:44of nasty.
  9. 0:58Yeah.
  10. 1:01Thanks, I appreciate it.
  11. 1:14So, I tried to trade yesterday during
  12. 1:17the CME open.
  13. 1:20And I got I got clapped.
  14. 1:24So,
  15. 1:26we're start we're starting down like 500
  16. 1:28on the day.
  17. 1:31I'm going to If I lose a trade though,
  18. 1:34like if I take another trade and I lose,
  19. 1:37I'm just going to have to stop.
  20. 1:41Cuz then at that point I'll be down like
  21. 1:45$800 on the day.
  22. 1:49So, I kind of screwed myself by trying
  23. 1:51to trade yesterday, but
  24. 1:55it is what it is.
  25. 2:06Ooh, that's brutal.
  26. 2:14Yeah, yesterday was crazy. I mean
  27. 2:18we uh
  28. 2:22we dropped I mean, if you include the
  29. 2:24gap, we went down like 600 points, yeah.
  30. 2:27650 points.
  31. 2:31And then we pumped all the way back up.
  32. 2:35For like almost 500 points. Now, we're
  33. 2:37probably about to push push up at the
  34. 2:39open.
  35. 2:46I thought we were I was watching this
  36. 2:48before I got on stream. I thought we
  37. 2:50were going to at least like sweep past
  38. 2:52this and then come up, but I don't know.
  39. 2:54This is like uh we're balanced out right
  40. 2:56now, so
  41. 2:59kind of a sketchy area
  42. 3:02to trade for me, especially at the open.
  43. 3:05But, if we do push up, then I would be
  44. 3:07expecting us to push into like 50% of
  45. 3:09the weekly opening gap.
  46. 3:15If I lose a trade though, I got to just
  47. 3:16call it and then I'm going to go trade
  48. 3:18some e-vals.
  49. 3:20And go full port some e-vals.
  50. 3:47>> Order filled.
  51. 3:48>> I'm going to go long right here. And
  52. 3:50then the moment that we take uh the
  53. 3:53highs, I'm just going to move it to
  54. 3:54break even.
  55. 3:58Look, kind of uh
  56. 4:01kind of sketchy.
  57. 4:06But I at least expect us to take the
  58. 4:08highs. Okay.
  59. 4:12I'm just going to go break even right
  60. 4:13now. We're going to let it ride. We're
  61. 4:15going to see if we can get up to
  62. 4:17like 550.
  63. 4:24550 would be
  64. 4:26um
  65. 4:27halfway to the gap, so
  66. 4:29or half half of the gap.
  67. 4:33So, if we can
  68. 4:34push [clears throat] up there, it'll put
  69. 4:35me back up on the day.
  70. 4:42Oh, it's kind of hard to see.
  71. 4:46Yeah, but if it slam if it slams back
  72. 4:48down, hits me at break even, then
  73. 4:52it's all right. We'll just wait for
  74. 4:54another setup at that point.
  75. 5:05Oh, yeah. I I treat
  76. 5:07evals way different than I treat funded
  77. 5:10accounts. Evals, I just full port them.
  78. 5:15But that's because like I I can pull
  79. 5:17payouts, and then I use profits to
  80. 5:19full port evals.
  81. 5:21But um
  82. 5:23if you don't really pull payouts, I
  83. 5:25would just treat them the same.
  84. 5:34We need to start seeing like a push.
  85. 5:36Otherwise, we're just we went up here to
  86. 5:38take the highs, and we're just going to
  87. 5:39slam back down to this range.
  88. 5:47I I to see like a strong push past here.
  89. 5:51Start targeting 550.
  90. 5:57Cuz I think this trade so far went like,
  91. 6:00I don't know.
  92. 6:03Let me see. 25 or 50 points in profit.
  93. 6:08I just need it to continue. Yeah, like
  94. 6:1050 points in profit.
  95. 6:14Could have covered RL, but I do want to
  96. 6:16try and hold it to uh
  97. 6:2150% of the N log.
  98. 6:25No, I passed it in 2 days. They allow a
  99. 6:27buffer, so
  100. 6:29you can just like
  101. 6:32make like 1550
  102. 6:35the first day, 1550 the second day.
  103. 6:47Yeah, we're about to come back.
  104. 6:57>> Order filled.
  105. 6:58>> All right, so we're going to wait now.
  106. 7:00We pushed past the highs and then we
  107. 7:02really didn't
  108. 7:04have any strong follow through.
  109. 7:12So now I'm wondering
  110. 7:16I know everyone's watching this uh
  111. 7:19opening gap right now.
  112. 7:23But
  113. 7:31I'm going to just have to wait.
  114. 7:49>> I got to
  115. 7:50I I probably shouldn't have traded Asia
  116. 7:53yesterday though cuz
  117. 7:56it's always like it sucks starting in
  118. 7:58the red for New York.
  119. 9:02I mean I have DOM levels right here.
  120. 9:04These white levels are DOM levels.
  121. 9:09But no, I use candlesticks.
  122. 10:15>> Hold on, give me a second.
  123. 10:31Ooh, this is kind of chilly.
  124. 10:36All right, so we took the highs and
  125. 10:37we're coming back down to the middle of
  126. 10:38this range, so
  127. 10:43going to wait and watch
  128. 10:51if we're actually going to continue down
  129. 10:53and start targeting
  130. 10:54here if we're going to just whip lash
  131. 10:56around.
  132. 10:59So, I got to just wait and see.
  133. 11:05For fundeds?
  134. 11:07No.
  135. 11:09If you go for one massive day, if that's
  136. 11:11like your mindset, you're going to try
  137. 11:13and trade
  138. 11:14and like say like, "Oh, I'm going to
  139. 11:15just catch one massive day."
  140. 11:18You're probably going to blow your
  141. 11:19account.
  142. 11:25Just trade a funded account normally.
  143. 11:28Just take normal trades.
  144. 11:32Now, if by chance, like if it just
  145. 11:34happens that you have a massive day,
  146. 11:36then yeah, you can just
  147. 11:39get $150 days, but
  148. 11:47Like that's what I did uh last month cuz
  149. 11:50my balance on my XFA was like $26,000 or
  150. 11:53something.
  151. 11:55So, I needed to get the money out of it.
  152. 11:56So, I was just doing like $150 days.
  153. 12:00But, don't go into a funded account
  154. 12:02thinking you're going to
  155. 12:04Don't like try and hit a massive day.
  156. 12:11Especially if you've never gotten a
  157. 12:12payout before.
  158. 12:14Just try and trade normally.
  159. 12:24This 15-minute right now looks nasty.
  160. 12:26Look at that.
  161. 13:33>> So, if we're going to come down, I do
  162. 13:34want to see us take out these lows, but
  163. 13:36I just don't really want to take it in
  164. 13:38here because
  165. 13:41I mean
  166. 13:42we're sitting in a pretty large range
  167. 13:44and I'm already in drawdown from last
  168. 13:45night, so
  169. 13:48I'm worried
  170. 13:49essentially that we're just going to
  171. 13:54[ __ ] around, but
  172. 13:58we'll we'll see. It's better to probably
  173. 14:01just wait.
  174. 14:04Cuz even if you did try and take a trade
  175. 14:06right here to target the lows, you would
  176. 14:07have like a pretty shitty risk reward.
  177. 14:20Good morning.
  178. 14:41But yeah, so
  179. 14:43kind of where my mind sits at this
  180. 14:45morning since I did take a L last night
  181. 14:48and we made a massive move overnight.
  182. 14:51I'm kind of like suspicious about New
  183. 14:53York. There is a chance that we do come
  184. 14:56down and we retrace into some of this
  185. 14:58overnight push up.
  186. 15:02Um but I would have preferred to see
  187. 15:04that actually before we took this high.
  188. 15:10Cuz the way that I trade
  189. 15:13it sometimes it's difficult for me or
  190. 15:15it's like not really preferred if the
  191. 15:17sessions for the overnight were like
  192. 15:19massive.
  193. 15:24So, I'm kind of just like
  194. 15:28going to be a little pat a little
  195. 15:30passive today because
  196. 15:32I'm already down like 500 bucks, so.
  197. 16:08So, we'll see if we can find an
  198. 16:09opportunity to get out of that hole, but
  199. 16:14I'm more concerned about making it
  200. 16:15worse, to be honest.
  201. 16:24But, if we do slam down right now,
  202. 16:27take these orders, take the lows, then I
  203. 16:29want to see what price is going to do
  204. 16:31after that.
  205. 17:19>> I'll be there.
  206. 17:42>> But this week, this week the main goal
  207. 17:46is to start building my
  208. 17:48funded army back up.
  209. 17:52My army of funded accounts.
  210. 18:01I'm not even really worried about this
  211. 18:02month anymore. I'm I kind of [ __ ] it
  212. 18:04up
  213. 18:06in the beginning.
  214. 18:07So, we're going to just try and uh
  215. 18:09focus on building up for a good April.
  216. 18:12It's kind of where my mind's at right
  217. 18:14now.
  218. 19:35>> But now that we're approaching these
  219. 19:36lows, what I don't really want to see is
  220. 19:38I don't really want to see us
  221. 19:41do this.
  222. 19:43Because
  223. 19:48what what I want to see is I want to see
  224. 19:50us not chop around and consolidate for
  225. 19:54the open.
  226. 19:59So, we had orders sitting here.
  227. 20:01We had the low sitting here right on on
  228. 20:04MNQ. We didn't take it on NQ, but
  229. 20:10cleaner price action would have pushed
  230. 20:12through
  231. 20:14at least into like this area or to
  232. 20:17target here.
  233. 20:20But if we're just going to wick this and
  234. 20:21then slam back into this range,
  235. 20:27this is a
  236. 20:29a no-touch zone for me.
  237. 20:43I hope this week is different than last
  238. 20:45week though, cuz last week we kept
  239. 20:46having these massive moves during the
  240. 20:49overnight and then
  241. 20:51New York
  242. 20:53was delivering kind of weird.
  243. 21:11>> Which is kind of like what's happening
  244. 21:13right now, but
  245. 22:32If we stay in here though, like
  246. 22:35Basically [clears throat]
  247. 22:39I'm I'm going to wait for the hourly.
  248. 22:42But
  249. 22:43The hourly to open like the 4-hour and
  250. 22:45the hourly Here at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.
  251. 22:49If this just kind of stays doing this
  252. 22:54I'm just going to lock out.
  253. 22:57Take the L that I created for myself
  254. 22:59Last night.
  255. 23:01And then just wait for tomorrow.
  256. 23:15I need to see like some directional
  257. 23:17movement.
  258. 26:18>> We're just bullshitting.
  259. 26:19Hopefully the
  260. 26:23the hourly candle is going to cause us
  261. 26:25to do something.
  262. 26:53>> You are
  263. 26:56You are
  264. 27:02You are
  265. 27:07With someone you are
  266. 27:13With someone you are
  267. 27:43With someone you are
  268. 27:49With someone you are
  269. 29:04>> I'm just waiting for the outlet to open.
  270. 31:26>> Dude, are any of you guys trading this
  271. 31:28right now?
  272. 31:31I mean, maybe if you're on like a
  273. 31:33smaller time frame.
  274. 31:34No, even the 1-minute looks like dog
  275. 31:36[ __ ]
  276. 33:15>> So we have the hourly that's going to
  277. 33:16open. If it doesn't do anything,
  278. 33:20I'm just not going to trade today.
  279. 33:23I'm already in drawdown from last night,
  280. 33:24so
  281. 33:26You know what You know what's the worst
  282. 33:28idea is?
  283. 33:30For me to be in drawdown from last
  284. 33:32night. We make two massive moves.
  285. 33:35And then what are you going to do? Try
  286. 33:36and trade this?
  287. 33:38Uh,
  288. 33:39I don't think so.
  289. 33:40I don't think so.
  290. 33:42I'll just take I'll just take my L.
  291. 33:46Not going to trick me.
  292. 34:04And then I'm just going to hope that
  293. 34:08I'm going to hope that
  294. 34:09tomorrow, or realistically tonight,
  295. 34:13we don't have
  296. 34:15a massive
  297. 34:17I swear, dude, it's like
  298. 34:2070% of the time,
  299. 34:23probably. I mean, that's not I didn't
  300. 34:25run any statistics on it, but it feels
  301. 34:27like 70% of the time, when we have a
  302. 34:30large ass move overnight and they're
  303. 34:33directional, too.
  304. 34:35New York opens up and just bullshits.
  305. 34:45So, whenever I see that, I'm always
  306. 34:46like, ah.
  307. 34:48I'm always like cautious about
  308. 34:52New York session. And then, that's also
  309. 34:53why I tried to trade Asia last night
  310. 34:56because I had a feeling that was going
  311. 34:57to happen today, but
  312. 35:00I just [ __ ] up.
  313. 35:02Just so you know what I lost on, by the
  314. 35:04way, last night.
  315. 35:05I thought after this drop
  316. 35:08that we were going to sweep and then
  317. 35:10come back up. So, I went long like
  318. 35:13somewhere right here. I can't really
  319. 35:15remember. I think it was somewhere right
  320. 35:16here after we took the lows.
  321. 35:18Yeah.
  322. 35:20Yeah, I probably went long somewhere
  323. 35:22right here.
  324. 35:23And then, I got stopped out.
  325. 35:27So, that was an L. We dropped like
  326. 35:29another
  327. 35:31200 points.
  328. 36:29All right.
  329. 36:31This
  330. 36:35I'm actually not going to trade this.
  331. 36:38As CEO of Thrax Trades, I'm making the
  332. 36:40executive decision that we are going to
  333. 36:42stay out of the market for New York
  334. 36:44session.
  335. 36:46We tried to
  336. 36:48take a long and a target 50% of the uh
  337. 36:52of the gap.
  338. 36:53We went like 50 points in profit.
  339. 36:56We're about 20 points away from our TP
  340. 36:58and it turned around.
  341. 37:01And then after we we basically swept the
  342. 37:04lows of this uh
  343. 37:07of this range and now we're popping back
  344. 37:08up. Now
  345. 37:12yes, there could be moves.
  346. 37:15You know, there's probably opportunity,
  347. 37:17sure, but like for me
  348. 37:22if I lose more money trading some
  349. 37:24[ __ ] like this,
  350. 37:26I'm actually going to be pretty
  351. 37:27disappointed in myself. So,
  352. 37:32sorry it's a sorry that it's a shorter
  353. 37:34stream today, but you know what? I can't
  354. 37:36I can't trade this. So,
  355. 37:38we're just going to lock out.
  356. 37:42Locked out of that. We'll take our L
  357. 37:43from last night. We tried to go long, it
  358. 37:45didn't work out. We dropped another 200
  359. 37:47points.
  360. 37:48And we'll just come back tomorrow
  361. 37:51because
  362. 37:52you could try and trade this and if you
  363. 37:54do, just be careful, but I just don't
  364. 37:56want to trade it.
  365. 37:58I think there's probably a good chance
  366. 38:00if I trade this I'm going to lose. So,
  367. 38:03I'll catch you guys
  368. 38:04next time.
  369. 38:06It'll be a quick one today. If you're
  370. 38:08going to trade, good luck, be careful,
  371. 38:10and peace.
