0:12Yo
0:20yo.
0:29Another
0:46day.
0:48Hopefully not another chop.
0:50Asia or Asia session has been
0:55saving me.
0:57New York session has been kicking my ass
0:59past like
1:01I don't know
1:04four or five sessions honestly.
1:07But today we got our hands
1:11on a 250k freedom combine
1:15[laughter]
1:16with top step.
1:19So we're going to see how that goes.
1:24We got to we got to pass it.
1:38250k freedom combine.
1:42Dude, they're pretty expensive, but
1:52we got it anyways.
1:56We just got to be kind of careful. We
1:57can't really fullport it.
2:01Well, we could full port it, but that
2:03would be dangerous thing to do.
2:12I do need to trade uh some of my funded
2:16today, but I do want I do want to trade
2:18this combine.
2:22We'll see how it goes.
2:25Although this morning,
2:29no news this morning. F uh CPI tomorrow.
2:41We're kind of balancing out here.
3:00The goal The goal is to get five 250k
3:06freedom accounts.
3:10[laughter]
3:14It'll cost $2500.
3:17That'
3:25be pretty badass though.
3:2725k payout caps. 25 minis.
3:3325 minis times five.
3:38All we need
3:4120. He hear me out.
3:4325 minis, 100 points.
3:48$125,000 payout,
3:53but you have like 40 ticks until you
3:56blow the account basically.
4:00Absolute cinema. Yeah. Now, I saw these
4:03come out. So, I saw them come out um
4:10like a couple weeks ago, but then they
4:12like sold out and you couldn't get them.
4:14So now they released them again.
4:18So
4:21we saw them last night. We bought one.
4:24We're going to try and uh we're going to
4:26try and trade it here. It's got a $5,000
4:30daily loss limit.
4:34Profit target 50% consistency would be
4:37$7,500. You know, the the draw down to
4:40profit target ratio on this account is
4:42actually pretty good.
4:44It's a 1.5R. It's basically like uh
4:48like a like a 50k. It's like they
4:51slammed basically 550ks into one. Cuz
4:55usually with other firms it'll be worse,
4:56right? They'll usually give you like
4:596500 6,000 in draw down and then a
5:0315,000 target on a 250k.
5:06But this one's 10,000.
5:09Still 15,000.
5:18Although
5:20blowing these would kind of suck though.
5:22I'm not going to lie.
5:29Well, we're not going to blow. We're
5:30going to pass it.
5:34We're going to pass it. Dude, no wonder
5:36why they they told everybody to stop uh
5:40you can't trade CPI anymore. Can you
5:43stack five of them? Yeah, you can. Dude,
5:46imagine 25 minis on on CPI.
5:55They had to turn they had they had to
5:57nerf that. There's no way they would
5:59allow these accounts and then allow
6:00that. There's no way.
6:02No, this is a Topstep account, dude.
6:04It's a 250k freedom combine. We're going
6:07to pass it so we can get some freedom.
6:09We need some freedom from this account.
6:21So this morning, basically my base case,
6:24like my my scenario that I'm watching is
6:28I'm I'm going to be careful about us
6:30having kind of like a
6:32rotational session this morning.
6:37If we end up accepting below here, then
6:39I'm looking for us to run out overnight
6:40lows. If we start getting above 910 to
6:45950, I'm going to be looking for us to
6:47start making our way back towards the
6:48month ceiling sitting around 30,100.
6:55There is a chance though that we could
6:56potentially rotate in this area between
6:59950 and 700 area though.
7:02So,
7:05I don't have the the um
7:12the most faith in this session to be
7:13completely honest with you guys. But
7:16we caught we caught we caught a move. We
7:18caught this long down here. I actually
7:20caught a pretty good long.
7:22I went long at 687 last night
7:28and we ended up taking it to uh 790. So,
7:31we caught like um
7:37we caught like almost a five R. I took
7:40this on my live account. Also, I passed
7:42a an eval with this firm called
7:46IQ Capital. They got some pretty
7:49interesting accounts. I got funded with
7:51them. They have one day pass. So, I just
7:52uh I bought the account. I passed it
7:57in one day. It was 100K account. So, I
7:59made 6K profit on it from those longs.
8:03We got the funded.
8:06Probably going to try and trade that
8:07later. But I also have my other fundeds.
8:12I'm just torn right now. I I got to
8:13trade the fundeds, but I also
8:17I want to trade this 250k combine.
8:27Although I should probably trade the
8:28fundeds because we haven't pulled a
8:30payout in a little bit which is not
8:32good. But at the end of the day though,
8:36I've actually been doing pretty well on
8:37my live account. So I'm chilling. But
8:41just for the sake of like getting more
8:44payouts, I probably should.
8:48So we'll see.
8:51How can you buy a 250k account? You got
8:54to I don't you got to go to Topstep
8:56Labs. Dude, I don't know if I I'm I
8:59would honestly recommend you guys don't
9:00buy one of these accounts.
9:03It's probably the easiest way to lose
9:05500 bucks,
9:09but we're going to do we're going to do
9:10it for the entertainment.
9:16We're going to do it and pull a 25K
9:19payout. put 25K in a sub account for for
9:24a live account
9:28futures $300 margins on minis
9:32and we'll just we'll rip next CPI. How
9:36about that
9:38on a live account?
9:42No, I'm just joking.
9:53About time. Yeah. So, we'll see. We'll
9:55see what happens today.
9:58But I'm going to be a little suspicious
10:01about this morning.
10:07Try and make some progress on this. In a
10:10perfect world,
10:12make a little bit of progress on this
10:13account. We make a little bit of
10:15progress on the fundeds
10:19and then we call it a day.
10:25Well, we already made some progress on
10:26one of the fundeds today from that. I I
10:29took that long last night on three of my
10:31accounts on my live account on a funded
10:34account and to pass that EV out.
10:42So, we're about to we're we're getting
10:43ready to open up here in two minutes.
10:45Again, if you guys are just joining, I'm
10:48essentially watching around 785 and I'm
10:51watching around 910 and and 950.
10:56We do have
11:00we got some friction to the upside, but
11:02if we're able to break through it, we
11:04can make another attempt up to, you
11:06know, the 30,000s, 30,100s.
11:09It's just um
11:12I don't think that we're going to have a
11:14clean like decisive
11:18acceptance past the monthly ceiling
11:21until CPI. We might poke our head out of
11:24it if we push up, but
11:27but yeah, I'm going to be watching this
11:29area. So, we'll see. In the event that
11:37we start to get below here and we hold,
11:39I'll just look for this to get taken
11:41out. But
11:45we'll have to wait and see.
11:48Got to be a little careful today.
11:59Am I bullish for CPI?
12:02As long as they meet expect as long as
12:04they meet the expect the expected
12:06numbers or they beat them. I don't think
12:09they're going to beat them, but if they
12:11meet it, well, it'll it'll go up
12:13probably.
12:15Probably. Not financial advice.
12:22All right. So just you know just uh
12:26forewarning here everybody.
12:30I'm trading an eval.
12:33So I might be slightly more aggressive
12:35in the entries that I take. But
12:39I'm not going to be reckless about it
12:42because this account's expensive. But
12:45we'll see.
12:49No risk.
12:51No freedom funded.
12:55Oh, on this account, I'm just I'm
12:56honestly just going to use uh I'm gonna
12:58go in on 10 micros, but
13:03max position sizing will probably be
13:05$1,000 loss. So,
13:10if it allows for it, I'll probably add
13:13into positions. So, we're pushing down
13:16into 785. We're going to see if we can
13:19actually hold this
13:23And if we do
13:27around the 785, we could probably see us
13:32try and make an attempt at the 900s.
14:04Unless we're going to just run this out
14:06right now.
15:43So, I'm going to see
15:53if we're about to snap back up right
15:55now. if we're going to
15:58continue this pressure down to the
15:59overnight lows.
17:13just open up and straight drop down to
17:16take overnight lows.
17:21Hope not.
18:02So, let's see what happens here with the
18:04new 5m it.
18:32But if if we do decide to take longs
18:34down here, we got to be careful when we
18:36approach back to
18:39the 780s. But we just took London lows.
18:47We're kind of approaching the 700s right
18:50now.
18:53We're at the 700. So,
18:56if we [clears throat] continue down,
18:59we're probably coming down to like
19:0329,600 29,580
19:07area.
19:17It's just only been selling pressure so
19:19far. Sorry.
20:27Yeah.
20:36Hm.
21:08There's [snorts] a little bit of buying
21:09activity, but if it can't follow through
21:12on what it's trying to do right now,
21:13we're going to go to Asia lows.
21:41But yeah, if it just Yeah, here we go.
21:44If we just go down and take uh Asia
21:48lows,
21:50this scenario that I said of getting
21:52below 785 to take the lows just happens
21:55without
21:58an entry.
22:56Tricky, tricky, tricky.
23:00You don't necessarily want to buy into
23:01this right now.
23:03And then
23:05just chasing it on the shorts is kind of
23:07crazy. So,
24:11Yeah, I fixed the I fixed the delay on
24:14uh a test. We're good now. We're good
24:16today.
25:05If we get a V-shaped recovery,
25:09if we get back above uh I'm watching as
25:12we approach here at 785. Um,
25:17we're going to look to see if buyers can
25:19actually reclaim it. If they can reclaim
25:21it, then I'm actually going to look for
25:23a continuation long
25:28to then come into the 900s,
25:32but I would rather wait for us to get
25:34above it first rather than trying to
25:36long down here.
25:38It was just a weird um
25:45Because if we can't get above here,
25:47we're probably going to rotate again
25:48lower
25:52at least come back here.
25:56Uh the delay issue. I just waited. It
25:59was a rhythmic problem.
26:02So, I just waited and then um
26:06like shut it shut down the shut it down
26:09and then turn it back on basically
26:14later on in the session.
27:31So new 15 minutes about to open right
27:33now. That is not looking good for us to
27:36recover
27:37785.
27:41At least not yet.
28:53All
29:09right, so let's see what happens after
29:10we take Asia lows.
29:14Jeez,
29:15that was nasty. Look, we see the book
29:18just disappear.
29:25That's pretty nasty.
29:54>> [snorts]
30:44>> What a day.
30:48New York A.M. session
31:46Did anybody catch those shorts?
31:48Did anybody catch those?
32:00Very nice.
32:15Yeah, if he caught those shorts, easy
32:17day.
32:19just kind of happened.
33:54Oh, here we go.
33:57You see that? I don't know if you guys
33:58saw that. I'm going to try and take a
34:01short right here.
34:03We're going to aim for 580.
34:10We'll front run it a little bit.
34:15I'm going to add into it if it continues
34:17down.
34:18But the stop is going to be right above
34:20the five minute um the fivem minute wick
34:23above.
34:26And once if we do continue the pressure
34:29lower, I'll
34:31tag in this other order, I'm probably
34:32going to move it to break even.
34:38Actually need to put a little lower.
34:47The moon phase is a wanting crescent.
34:51It means longs.
35:12Hopefully not. Hopefully the one
35:13crescent means we continue down to 580.
35:51All
36:02right. Well,
36:05we will wait for the next trade.
36:10Probably wait for the the 4 hour to open
36:12up, actually.
36:22I still think until we start getting
36:24back up here,
36:28it's very possible we still continue
36:29down to uh 580.
38:36Sean, my boy, it's okay.
38:40It's not the end of the world.
38:49It's not that serious.
38:57Like, yeah, we're stalling out right
38:58here, but
39:02we need to
39:05we need to push through this pretty
39:06aggressively. Get back up here.
39:15Is this quan tower? No, it is not.
39:19In fact,
39:21it is ATS.
39:27It is ATS.
39:38We need this freedom combine to give us
39:40some freedom.
39:42We need to pass it.
39:57long it. Not yet. I would love to take
40:01some longs though. I would love that,
40:04but
40:07we got to wait.
40:12Um
40:15I don't know. I just like NQ. We have a
40:17toxic relationship.
40:24ES is like
40:28[laughter]
40:29I saw a video the other day on on
40:31Instagram. Someone said ES is like like
40:35the seven out of 10 who who who never
40:38gives you any issues and then NQ is like
40:40the 10 out of 10 but she's batshit
40:42crazy. [laughter]
41:27Like right now we're seeing buyers
41:30attempt to push this back up, right? But
41:32they're really struggling. Um,
41:40we would have to start getting back up
41:42here, like back up here.
41:47Otherwise, this is just suspicious, you
41:49know. It's just suspicious.
41:55Yeah, it's actually Yes, it is in the
41:57FAQs. It is. This one's called uh new
42:00thrax or whatever, but I use Atas X. So,
42:06you got to um
42:10you got to be using ATS X if you want to
42:13use it's in the FAQ. It'll l literally
42:15say ATAS or ATAS X. So, okay. Yeah, if
42:19you're using Atas X, then this one will
42:21work.
42:40Okay, so now we're getting some follow
42:42through.
43:24It's looking kind of good for longs.
43:28So, we're going to give it a shot.
43:30Although, we're going to have a pretty
43:32large stop loss. We need it to stay
43:34above 700 right now. And then once we
43:38approach uh the 785 area, we got to be a
43:40little careful.
43:43But if we could stay above
43:46700s, we'll probably be okay.
43:51There's a good closure on the 15minute.
44:01We're still if if we pump it up, we're
44:02we're aiming for the 900s.
44:05It's like full TP. Whoops.
44:10But we just got to we'll probably be
44:13careful around um
44:20once we start pushing up here into uh
44:24the 785s.
44:36Although, if we lose this trade, I'll
44:37probably take this freedom account and
44:39bench it.
44:49Actually,
44:52we'll see what happens. I want to see us
44:54have like a
44:58I'm trying to see the numbers light up
44:59on the ask right here as we head into
45:01the 780s and then I'll probably trail
45:04the stop a little bit tighter
45:16because we just got to make sure that
45:17this is not about to be the hourly wick
45:19to the upside before we slam down.
45:35I'm actually going to move it to break
45:36even.
45:47Cuz I do not want to see us do this and
45:49then bam. Oh, I don't want to see us do
45:53this and then bam
46:04because what I can do is if this doesn't
46:08go here, I might get out break even and
46:10then if we curl back over and defend the
46:13700s,
46:14I might try and take another opportunity
46:16with a better entry.
46:25What about the TP?
46:28The TP is uh well, the the first area of
46:32friction we're going to run into is
46:34going to be here. If we push up, we'll
46:36probably run into some issues here. But
46:39if we get past it, then we're looking
46:41for 900s.
47:19And then if we do get above uh if we
47:21start accepting back above 785800,
47:24I'll probably look for a way to try and
47:26add into this position.
48:19Whoops.
49:02You have a buy limit set for 29714.
49:07That's a decent area.
49:09That's a fair value gap. Actually,
49:15an inverse fair value gap. yeah.
49:24All right. So, we're we're back
49:25approaching into this area again.
49:28The only way this is going to continue
49:30is we need to accept above it. Um,
49:34obviously, right, but it is an area
49:36where I'm expecting us to run into a
49:38little bit of um
49:40issues potentially.
49:48You know, we could cover our loss, but
49:53we're not going to get freedom from this
49:55freedom account by just covering a loss.
49:58Although I I will say if we start
50:00pushing up higher, I am going to trail
50:02the stop to like get me back to break
50:04even. But
50:35Actually, I'll probably trail it to the
50:37bottom of this uh five minute. See if we
50:40could punch through this. If not, we'll
50:42knock down our draw down in half. How
50:45about that?
50:56Yeah, it's all right, Sean. I get it.
50:57Past week uh week or so has been
51:00slightly frustrating for the AM session.
51:02Honestly, Asia's been saving me. I've
51:04been trading my live accounts during
51:06Asia and they've been cooking. We've
51:08been cooking on the lives.
51:25How do you get rid of the heat map on
51:26the right? Um,
51:35I don't know how to do it on on ATS X,
51:38honestly.
51:42I'm going to be real. I don't know. I
51:45know that the template has it, so it's
51:46like stuck there. So, yeah, I have no
51:49idea.
51:51Do I stream Asia? No, I do not. I do
51:54not.
51:59But how do I trade Asia? Yeah, I know
52:01you're trying to delete it, but you
52:02can't. I don't know how to delete it
52:03either.
52:08How do you trade Asia?
52:11Well, I trade it the exact same way that
52:13I trade New York, except for the fact
52:15that
52:17uh you don't use gamma levels.
52:55No, I do not use gamma levels in Asia or
52:57London.
53:00Why would you?
53:04Mark is closed.
53:16What do I use? Volume profile,
53:20value areas, market structure,
53:24footprint,
53:26everything. I use the same thing. I I
53:28trade Asia the exact same way. The only
53:30thing is just that I don't um
53:34I just don't use gamma
53:37which is not a big deal because gamma is
53:40just one part of a broader framework you
53:42know.
53:46Exactly. Blank Spartan. Exactly. Which
53:49is why I don't get it when people ask me
53:50that but it's okay.
53:53[snorts]
53:57Yes. But ETHO
54:00using end of day open interest. You're
54:02you're trying to use options data when
54:05the market is closed.
54:08Now, you know, let's say you have some
54:10type of vendor or provider. Keep in
54:12mind, guys, you know what I mean? Like
54:14when you when you have when we when
54:17we're using um you know, gamma levels,
54:20let's say, okay, you're going to have
54:22levels that look like this. they're just
54:25going to be like all over the place. So,
54:28if it's going to look like this, then,
54:30you know, we're bound to have random
54:33line theory work out where you
54:34essentially watch price come into some
54:36random line and then you're like, ah,
54:38you know, it held, you know, but the
54:40actual mechanics of it are just not
54:42there. You know what I mean?
54:48I mean, I can I can um you know, draw a
54:51bunch of lines on my chart, you know,
54:53and then the ones that don't that just
54:55run through, you know, we don't even
54:57talk about it. But then the ones that
54:58just happen to touch it and then turn
55:00around, we could be like, "Oh, yeah,
55:02that was a valid level." Well,
55:05random line theory is a real thing,
55:09you know?
55:17random line three. Yeah, that's a new
55:19strat, bro. Let's just draw a bunch of
55:20lines on the on the chart
55:24and then like screenshot it whenever it
55:27works out. Remove all the other lines.
55:30Screenshot it and be like, "Look at my
55:32level. Look at my level." Well, you
55:35don't even have to do that. You could
55:36just wait until it reverses and then
55:41and then you could just
55:43Yeah, we're running into a problem right
55:45here.
55:50Push through it. Come on.
55:57Come on. AQ. Although right now we're
56:00basically trying to play a V-shaped
56:02recovery, which is
56:05potentially not the brightest idea, but
56:11V. We're going to Vshape our rec Vshape
56:13recovery our way to freedom on this
56:16freedom combine.
56:18Dude, this account's honestly pretty
56:19sick, dude. But it's just expensive.
56:26It's just pretty expensive.
56:36But yeah, we we were anticipating us to
56:38run into some issues here. Um,
56:42if we do end up accepting above it, we
56:44are green lit.
56:46We are green lit for a decent trade
56:48here. Move down your stop. Nah.
56:54Nah. Because what I what I might do,
56:57just so you know what my plan is.
57:00If we if we basically reject out of
57:03here, there's a pretty good chance we're
57:06coming down here and then we can look
57:08for down here. What I'm going to look
57:12for is a re-entry longs if it makes
57:14sense to do so. Right right at this uh
57:18fair value gap. [laughter]
57:21No, right around 700. 700's a important
57:24area. We overshot it a little bit, but
57:29like like 700 to the 650s is an
57:32important area for me. So like [snorts]
57:36if we um
57:38breakaway gap. So then I'll I'll take
57:41cuz I'm in draw down, right? So I'll
57:43take uh I'll cut it in half and then
57:45we'll look for a potential re-entry.
58:26All right. Now, we're going to wait a
58:28second.
58:39So, we're either going to look for us to
58:41come back towards 700s to look for a
58:44long or we will wait for us to actually
58:47accept above 785 and then just look for
58:50a continuation.
1:00:19Um,
1:00:30oh, I see what you're saying. Bowler
1:00:31Scalp, you're looking at Mentor Q's um,
1:00:37put support
1:00:39that was at 750.
1:01:04Whoa, those are those are dangerous
1:01:07words there, brother. Look what the
1:01:08market's h look what look what's
1:01:09happening with your I told you so.
1:01:13We'll see. I'm not too pressed about it.
1:01:16You know, we got to
1:01:18we got to it's not over until we get
1:01:22above here.
1:01:28Cuz guess what? Well, if I would have
1:01:30moved my stop down instead of making 300
1:01:33and cutting our draw down in half,
1:01:37we would still be minus 650. Because
1:01:40[snorts] if we're going to hold this,
1:01:42right, and we're going to revisit it
1:01:44later to try and break it on a second
1:01:46second attempt,
1:01:49that's fine. I mean, I didn't have a lot
1:01:51of room between where I trailed stopped
1:01:53to where break even would have been.
1:01:57But if we have this pressure, right,
1:02:01and it fails here,
1:02:04well, we can just re-enter the trade
1:02:06after we get above here. after we get
1:02:08above here.
1:02:14I'm just trying to I'm just trying to um
1:02:24[laughter]
1:02:25No, it's okay. I'm just messing with
1:02:27you, Buller Scalp. Yeah, valid. That's a
1:02:29valid level. Sure. It's showing us it's
1:02:31a valid level right now. So, it's solid.
1:02:37But I don't use menthol Q, so I don't
1:02:40really know where their levels are at
1:02:42like that.
1:03:06Yeah, and we're also trying to get back
1:03:08into yesterday's value area right now
1:03:11after we just dipped down. So,
1:03:18just it's an important area, right?
1:03:20That's why we that's why we marked it
1:03:22out, you know, and we were saying like,
1:03:23okay, if we're going to go long, well,
1:03:26we just have to be careful about this
1:03:27area.
1:03:30the the better confirmation for longs is
1:03:32for us to actually get back above here.
1:03:34Otherwise, you know, we drop below,
1:03:38we fail to reclaim
1:03:41[snorts] and we can actually come all
1:03:43the way down here or even just keep
1:03:45running it out. Good.
1:04:06What we also need to be careful about
1:04:07though is this. Okay.
1:04:12Drop, rebalance, balance. I really hope
1:04:17that doesn't happen this morning.
1:04:20I really hope that doesn't happen.
1:04:30Drop, rebalance, balance, PM move. I
1:04:33hope not.
1:04:44Yeah, there is a lot of friction to the
1:04:46upside. I will say if we are looking for
1:04:48longs,
1:04:52but
1:04:54I kind of I kind of like it.
1:04:57It We have to get above here though
1:04:59first and then I like it and then I like
1:05:02it.
1:05:08What do you think about orderflow and ES
1:05:11and that of NQ which is reliable? What
1:05:14do you mean?
1:05:17They're different assets.
1:05:30What do you mean which is reliable?
1:05:45ES absorption mostly holds than NQ from
1:05:49observation.
1:05:51Uh I don't know about that. Um but you
1:05:55know I don't really look at ES so
1:06:15Depends if you like a seven out of 10 or
1:06:16a 10 out of 10. Yep.
1:06:23[laughter]
1:07:05Bro, are we just going to become Asia
1:07:07session traders?
1:07:12New York AM.
1:07:15Come on, dude.
1:07:19No, I'm just joking. This is a pretty
1:07:21good move to the downside. Honestly,
1:07:23there's just no way for me to get in
1:07:24unless I just chased it.
1:07:37Can I live stream in Asia?
1:07:40I won't. I'm not going to live stream
1:07:43Asia,
1:07:46but uh
1:07:49yeah, Asia session trader.
1:07:54I usually trade Asia with my live
1:07:57accounts. Um,
1:07:59and funded too or Evals or whatever.
1:08:03But Asia session is a little bit
1:08:04different, right? Like
1:08:07like for a New York session, okay, I sit
1:08:09here, I watch the open, you know, I I
1:08:12look for us to do something as we
1:08:14approach lunch hours. Um, I'm usually
1:08:17done. Asia. If it's a Sunday with like
1:08:21some type of news that came out, I may
1:08:24trade CME open. I usually don't trade
1:08:27CME open. I'll usually trade the 8:00
1:08:30p.m. EST hourly open
1:08:34like Tokyo and then the 6:00 p.m. or my
1:08:38bad uh 900 p.m. EST
1:08:41hourly open. And if a move doesn't come
1:08:45from the open of either of those two
1:08:46candles, then I just don't trade it. So,
1:08:48it's like
1:08:52what I can do though, if you guys want,
1:08:54is
1:08:58if I decide to trade Asia,
1:09:02I'll message in the in the Discord what
1:09:04I'm looking at. But you got to keep in
1:09:07mind this is like, okay, here I am, New
1:09:09York session. I'm like sitting here.
1:09:11We're focused. We're we're talking on
1:09:13stream. When I'm trading Asia, we're
1:09:16doom scrolling. and I'm playing Clash of
1:09:18Clans. I'm doing other stuff. I may
1:09:20enter a trade that takes an hour to play
1:09:22out. I might go eat dinner,
1:09:25you know, like I I just go do other
1:09:27things. I may manage a position from my
1:09:29phone or something like if I'm in on top
1:09:33or whatever. So, it's really not ideal
1:09:36for me to stream it, but
1:09:38I'll message in the chat.
1:09:42Clash Royale. Nah, dude. Clash of Clans.
1:09:46Clash of Clans. I've been playing that
1:09:49game since I was I've been playing that
1:09:51game for like 12 years, actually.
1:09:56I'm I'm loyal I'm loyal to the game.
1:10:00I'm loyal to to the Clash. I'm I'm loyal
1:10:02to the clan.
1:10:05[laughter]
1:10:09Loyal to the clan.
1:10:18Yeah, it takes forever. All my upgrades
1:10:21take like it takes a long time.
1:10:25Clash Royale. I've never played Clash
1:10:27Royale.
1:10:30Clash of Clans is the only game I have
1:10:32on my phone
1:10:35besides um I have another game on my
1:10:37phone. What is it? Blackjack 21.
1:10:51Clash Royale is the superior game. I
1:10:53don't know about that.
1:10:58You know what? I haven't tried it. Maybe
1:11:00I'm just hate hating for no reason. Just
1:11:02a hater.
1:11:19Well, it's starting to look like we may
1:11:21just
1:11:23compress here for a sec. I mean, we're
1:11:26already kind of doing it, but
1:11:32I I'm hoping we don't balance out
1:11:34between 800 and 700.
1:11:38Dude, I was kind of hyped. I was kind of
1:11:40hyped to trade this 250k freedom
1:11:42account. This is actually I've never had
1:11:44a 250k account because honestly I never
1:11:46found a reason to.
1:11:50But
1:11:54I don't know. Might as well.
1:11:59Let's get five of them.
1:12:01Let's get five of them.
1:12:13like 15 grand profit target seems like a
1:12:15lot, but it's really not a lot. I mean,
1:12:16like 100K on that 100K account last
1:12:20night, I I went in 20 micros, I added
1:12:2310, added 10, and then we ripped it, you
1:12:25know? It's like, and then it made six
1:12:26grand. So, you can do the same thing.
1:12:29You just
1:12:32shouldn't be that difficult. Although
1:12:34you you have to size up. You can't just
1:12:36like
1:12:38we're not going to get freedom from only
1:12:40trading 10 micros on this. Well, we will
1:12:43once it's funded, but
1:12:46we got to we got to pass it first.
1:12:50Uh this is from um Topstep.
1:12:54Topstep's 250k freedom account.
1:13:00Okay. Are we going to be able to get
1:13:01through this?
1:13:03The new 15 minutes going to open up
1:13:05here.
1:13:09Just slam four minis. Why stop at four?
1:13:12I can do 25.
1:13:14Why not just go 25?
1:13:30How different do I trade my live
1:13:32compared to my funded? Incredibly
1:13:34different.
1:13:37The strategy remains the same, but risk
1:13:39management is way different.
1:13:42It's way different
1:13:47on my live account. Usually what I do is
1:13:49um yeah 250 micros.
1:13:53That's crazy. On my live account,
1:13:55usually what I do is I start pretty
1:13:56small size. Um I usually risk like
1:14:01maybe a hundred bucks, maybe start with
1:14:03one or two micros and then I look to add
1:14:06into um
1:14:10I look to add into winners a lot
1:14:14and so the chop continues. So, I add
1:14:16into winners a lot on my live account.
1:14:19It depends what the goal is because
1:14:21sometimes I have um
1:14:24I have sub accounts with my broker AMP
1:14:28Futures for different purposes. Like
1:14:30sometimes
1:14:32there's like a like I'll have a live
1:14:34account where, you know, I'm trying to
1:14:36take uh
1:14:38take it like sometimes I'll just get a
1:14:40live account where I'll throw in a
1:14:41thousand bucks and the goal is just to
1:14:43flip it in like a couple days.
1:14:46I actually did that um
1:14:49recently
1:14:50because I don't know sometimes when I
1:14:52need to pay for something sometimes when
1:14:54I need to pay for something um I'll just
1:14:57be like you know let's just throw it
1:14:59into an an amp account and let's make
1:15:01the money for it real quick and then
1:15:03pull it out.
1:15:06So like I'm going to go do something
1:15:07this weekend with my brother and I'll
1:15:09probably have to drop like a,000 bucks.
1:15:10So,
1:15:12last week on like Thursday, I threw
1:15:14a,000 bucks into an AMP account and now
1:15:17it's sitting at $2,500.
1:15:19So, I'm probably just going to pull it
1:15:21out. This is one of my sub accounts.
1:15:25So, with that, you know, obviously I'm
1:15:27being pretty aggressive when it comes to
1:15:29risk man risk management, right? And
1:15:31then there's other accounts that I have,
1:15:33like for example, let's say I'm doing a
1:15:34competition with the Robins Cup like I
1:15:36was last month. Obviously, I'm going to
1:15:38have to be pretty aggressive with that,
1:15:40but I have live accounts that I trade
1:15:42normally, and usually I'm position
1:15:44building into it. What am I buying with
1:15:461K?
1:15:49My brother wanted a lar. So, me and him
1:15:51are going to go lar. We're gonna go lar
1:15:53around.
1:16:01Or like one time like like back in like
1:16:03I think the end of 2024
1:16:06I did like a $500 challenge where I was
1:16:08trying to grow it where I put 500 bucks
1:16:10in.
1:16:15I got that one up to 2500 and then
1:16:17[snorts] I took a I I tilted on
1:16:21that one.
1:16:24Live accounts are pretty fun though. But
1:16:26I will say if if you're not used to
1:16:27trading a live account [laughter] and
1:16:29you start trading a live account, you're
1:16:30going to be all nervous and uh
1:16:35you'll probably trade like an idiot.
1:16:38What mindset shift did you had have that
1:16:41made you start seeing uh results in
1:16:43trading when you were struggling?
1:16:46Well,
1:16:48I used to just
1:16:51Well, I used to I used to have no
1:16:52self-control, honestly.
1:16:54Like, if we're talking about like two,
1:16:56three years ago,
1:16:59I probably would be trying to trade this
1:17:01right now.
1:17:03And then every single time I lose, I I
1:17:05size up.
1:17:10So, um
1:17:13I just I care way more about how I trade
1:17:16rather than the result in terms of
1:17:18dollar amounts now,
1:17:20which
1:17:22you know, results of me taking less
1:17:24trades. Like, I'm sure you guys, you
1:17:26know, you've noticed that you can
1:17:28probably go hop on some other guy's live
1:17:29stream and he's probably taking like a
1:17:31ton of trades.
1:17:33I really don't care to take a lot of
1:17:35trades. I mean, last week there were
1:17:37days I didn't even take a trade, you
1:17:38know,
1:17:42Stratton Oakmont for for my broker. I'm
1:17:45using AMP AMP Futures. You know what's
1:17:48dope about AMP Futures? If you wanted to
1:17:50be a degenerate, not financial advice,
1:17:52they offer $300 margins on minis for NQ.
1:17:59Not saying I ever try to take advantage
1:18:01of that, but
1:18:04that's crazy.
1:18:08That is crazy. You can you can literally
1:18:10throw a,000 bucks in, just wait and slam
1:18:14two minis on a trade, and then just try
1:18:16and double your account. Obviously, mo
1:18:17more often than not, you're probably
1:18:18going to blow the account, but
1:18:21uh Ninja Trader, I think it's um
1:18:26I think it's a $1,000 margins for the
1:18:29minis. AMP futures, their $300 margin
1:18:32for minis is crazy. Usually it should be
1:18:34a thousand for most brokers unless
1:18:36you're using some some BS broker that's
1:18:39going to be like, "Oh, for, you know, a
1:18:41mini you got to for for the the day
1:18:44margin, like the intraday margin, you
1:18:46got to use uh 15k.
1:18:4815k for one mini."
1:18:51Yeah, right. Get away from me.
1:19:04>> [snorts]
1:19:07>> So, we'll sit here for a sec. But you
1:19:09know what? Um, chances are what this
1:19:12might be doing right now is, you know,
1:19:13we're compressing.
1:19:18We could probably be setting up for a
1:19:20decent move during uh maybe even lunch
1:19:23hour,
1:19:27but we're kind of right here. What I'm
1:19:30concerned about at this point is us
1:19:31basically
1:19:33getting stuck between the 800s
1:19:38and the 700s.
1:19:47right around this area.
1:19:52Schwab, you need 20k for a mini.
1:19:57I like to bank with Charles Schwab, but
1:20:01trading with them. Yeah, I don't know
1:20:03about that.
1:20:06I don't know about that.
1:20:09But if you guys ever want to know about
1:20:11like a solid bank account to get
1:20:15the Charles Schwab one is fire. They
1:20:18don't have any physical locations. They
1:20:20don't have any physical locations. You
1:20:22just like the cool thing is that they
1:20:25give you a card, right?
1:20:28Let me see if I have it.
1:20:32Bro, you guys want to see something
1:20:33crazy?
1:20:37Do you know what that is?
1:20:43Do you know what that is?
1:20:47That's the That's the day trading fund
1:20:49right there.
1:20:52Hold on. What was on the bottom of that?
1:20:56Oh, yeah. We're good.
1:20:59Library cards. Imagine I just linked my
1:21:03linked I just leaked my uh bank info to
1:21:06the stream. [laughter]
1:21:12No, we're good. On the bottom of it was
1:21:14a card that doesn't matter anymore. But
1:21:17um the Charles Schwab card, they don't
1:21:19have any physical location, so you can
1:21:21basically go to any ATM. It's no fees.
1:21:24No ATM fees, no um bank fees, no
1:21:28international fees, nothing. I lost my
1:21:31um I was in Bangkok and I lost my card
1:21:35and I called Charles Schwab and I'm like
1:21:37hey can you guys ship me a card and
1:21:39they're like where are you? I'm like I'm
1:21:41in Bangkok.
1:21:43They're like yeah it'll it'll be there
1:21:45tomorrow. I was like oh
1:21:48they're solid.
1:21:51They're solid. And when I when I'm in
1:21:54when I'm in this is the dopest thing.
1:21:56When I'm in a different country, I only
1:21:58use my Charles Schwab card and their
1:22:01ATMs will charge you like fees, right?
1:22:04But basically, every single month,
1:22:06Charles Schwab will take all the fees
1:22:07that the ATM charged,
1:22:10pay it back to you with interest. With
1:22:14interest for the month. Sick.
1:22:23Yeah. But I don't, just so you guys
1:22:24know, not affiliated with that. I just
1:22:26love their bank. They're cool.
1:22:31I mean, the interest is not going to be
1:22:33a lot. I mean, let's let's be real. It's
1:22:35like it's like some sense, but it's just
1:22:39kind of cool. It's just kind of cool.
1:22:51But yeah, anyways, for for Charles
1:22:52Schwab, no, I wouldn't trade with him,
1:22:54but
1:22:57they got a good They got a good debit
1:22:58card though.
1:23:09Um, my big trade settings.
1:23:12There you go.
1:23:14Cumulative
1:23:16Minimum volume 300. This is for MNQ
1:23:35sponsored with them. Nah, no
1:23:37affiliation. No affiliation with Mr.
1:23:40Schwab
1:23:42with Charles.
1:23:51Bro, this is so lame that New York does
1:23:53this. Dude,
1:23:56how am I supposed to make 15,000
1:23:58profits?
1:24:00How am I supposed to make 15K in profits
1:24:02with this BS?
1:24:06Yeah, I know. Crown. I was I was saying
1:24:08the same thing. I mean, my my um
1:24:12my outlook this morning, I mean, the ba
1:24:14the base expectation was kind of just
1:24:16like a rotational session.
1:24:19Although, it did overshoot where I
1:24:22thought we were going to bottom out, but
1:24:24it we just took uh Asia lows and then we
1:24:26came back up.
1:24:37Oh, well, if you're using NQ, this is
1:24:39not going to pop up because I'm using
1:24:40MNQ.
1:24:51Yeah.
1:24:57You know what? Let's start looking
1:24:58around, dude. Let's Let's go look at
1:25:00some other things here.
1:25:03What's lean hog doing?
1:25:21What's the cattle futures doing,
1:25:30dude? Cattle futures have been booming.
1:25:36[sighs and gasps]
1:25:39Let's take delivery. Let's Let's trade
1:25:41Let's trade the live uh cattle futures,
1:25:44but instead of instead [laughter]
1:25:46of uh let's just take delivery of the
1:25:49cows, bro.
1:25:54Gold is actually have has been moving
1:25:56pretty nicely looks like past few days.
1:26:06I haven't traded gold in a while.
1:26:09Probably since like March
1:26:29Bro, I don't know if you guys got to
1:26:30trade this. This was
1:26:34great time. Great time to trade gold.
1:26:39CME open. Buy it. Pull back. Buy it
1:26:46higher.
1:26:50Same with silver. I was trading silver
1:26:52during that time, too. That was crazy.
1:27:04All
1:27:16right, let's see if this 15-minute opens
1:27:18up and does anything. If it doesn't do
1:27:19anything, I'm just going to call it a
1:27:21day, unfortunately. But hopefully we
1:27:23start moving a little bit.
1:28:39Uh Mike, it should update on the
1:28:42dashboard
1:28:44on their website.
1:29:29Um, I don't know how you're scalping,
1:29:30but they definitely have commissions and
1:29:32fees.
1:29:34How old am I?
1:29:3913.
1:29:43I actually have school starting next
1:29:45week
1:29:48going into the seventh grade.
1:30:0313 in dog ears.
1:30:11In dog ears, I'm like 2 years old.
1:30:15Wait, no. No, that would be 14 years
1:30:19old, right?
1:30:22I'm 26.
1:30:25Do you trade in school?
1:30:31Yeah. Yes, Ricky. Yes, 100%. They're
1:30:36just random.
1:30:56See, the thing is is like I'm sitting
1:30:58here, okay, and I and I kind of want to
1:31:00you just stop trading, but I know the
1:31:04moment I get off stream, we're going to
1:31:06start moving. This feels like one of
1:31:08those days. The moment I shut down the
1:31:11stream,
1:31:13we're going to go somewhere.
1:31:24The market is rigged. So why order flow
1:31:27should work though? Rig by who?
1:31:33What do you mean?
1:31:42Who's rigging it?
1:31:59Oh man, it's it's the man.
1:32:02The man is [laughter]
1:32:08Oh, dude. I love it. I love it. You know
1:32:12what? I like that.
1:32:15I like that. You know what? It's not my
1:32:18fault. It's not my fault.
1:32:22There's got to be some There's got to be
1:32:24somebody we could blame this on.
1:32:30There's got to be somebody we can blame
1:32:32this on. I refuse
1:32:34to take responsibility for this.
1:32:38Tier one and tier 2 institutions.
1:32:41Okay. Well, I need to understand what
1:32:42your definition of rigged is.
1:32:45And if you're asking about order flow,
1:32:49it's literally just data. This is
1:32:51showing what was executed on the CME
1:32:53book,
1:32:55right? This for for NQ CME.
1:32:59This is showing orders that are sitting
1:33:01here. A lot of it's algorithmic.
1:33:03A lot of it gets added and canceled out.
1:33:05Yes, some of them do get filled.
1:33:08Some of them get spoofed. Blah blah blah
1:33:10blah blah.
1:33:12You know what I mean?
1:33:15But
1:33:18anybody [clears throat] who believes
1:33:19that
1:33:24anybody who believes that like
1:33:26institutions
1:33:29are out here targeting retail traders
1:33:31the way that they describe,
1:33:34either you haven't been trading that
1:33:36long
1:33:39or
1:33:41you've been brainwashed.
1:33:43The easiest thing to do in life for
1:33:45anything
1:33:47is blame somebody.
1:33:58And actually, majority of retail
1:34:00nowadays is not even we don't even
1:34:02exist. We're playing we're playing in a
1:34:05we're just a bunch of paper traders.
1:34:08Dirty paper traders. [laughter]
1:34:12We're just a bunch of old dirty paper
1:34:13traders.
1:34:20Except for me. I trade a live account. I
1:34:22trade a live account, too.
1:34:25So sometimes sometimes I actually exist
1:34:28on the book sometimes.
1:34:38Do I believe in the efficient market
1:34:40theory meaning that the market is
1:34:41efficient 100% of the time? No. Is it
1:34:46major majority efficient? Sure. Are
1:34:49there temporary moments of inefficiency?
1:34:52Absolutely.
1:34:54Absolutely.
1:35:06Are we going to get out of here? Is this
1:35:08it?
1:35:31Yeah, if we're talking about like the
1:35:33major indices, they are pretty
1:35:35efficient. But the idea that it's 100%
1:35:40efficient all the time is just not true.
1:35:42It's just not.
1:35:53All right. So, this this could be it.
1:35:55This could be it if we hold above this.
1:36:09If this fails here
1:36:12and we come back into here.
1:36:20That would suck.
1:36:29I I trade gold too sometimes. But yeah,
1:36:33honestly, this is my cut off time. I'm
1:36:34done. Okay, I'm going to um
1:36:38I'm going to depart from you YouTube.
