  1. 0:44Yo.
  2. 0:46Oh, [ __ ]
  3. 0:49Yeah.
  4. 0:52I'm down from last night, but we're
  5. 0:54going to uh
  6. 0:58We're going to come back.
  7. 1:00Uh we'll see.
  8. 1:03I would
  9. 1:05Because you don't have the right data,
  10. 1:06bro.
  11. 1:12What are you using for your data?
  12. 1:17Yeah, but is it your own Rithmic or are
  13. 1:19you using a prop firm's Rithmic?
  14. 1:24Yeah, they're not going to give it to
  15. 1:26you.
  16. 1:28They're cheap.
  17. 1:33Yeah, you got to I pay for my own data.
  18. 1:38But there are certain prop firms that
  19. 1:40will give you the full level two.
  20. 1:46Like Funded Futures Network, they'll do
  21. 1:49that. But like if you're trying to use
  22. 1:52um
  23. 1:52Apex or something or like most firms,
  24. 1:55they don't give you the full book.
  25. 1:56They'll give you one or two levels above
  26. 1:58or below price or maybe 10.
  27. 2:04Yeah, heat map is level two. You need to
  28. 2:06be able to see uh the depth of market,
  29. 2:08right?
  30. 2:11Mark, I use uh Rithmic.
  31. 2:17But I use my own Rithmic data.
  32. 2:30So, if you guys remember yesterday
  33. 2:34I hit profit target on two evals and
  34. 2:36then
  35. 2:38I blew one.
  36. 2:41Well, I ended up passing this one.
  37. 2:44So,
  38. 2:45I mean
  39. 2:46They they're mad at me cuz if
  40. 2:48technically I hedged, so I can't like
  41. 2:52I can't activate it till the end of the
  42. 2:54day.
  43. 2:56I didn't mean to hedge, but the first
  44. 2:58time I ever bought a Lucid account, I
  45. 3:00accidentally hedged for like couple
  46. 3:01seconds.
  47. 3:04And then that uh that Topstep combine, I
  48. 3:07ended up blowing it. Womp, womp, womp.
  49. 3:11So, we got another one.
  50. 3:12And we got another one.
  51. 3:15So,
  52. 3:17we're trying to get some more funded
  53. 3:18accounts, but
  54. 3:21No, they're not going to ban me. I just
  55. 3:23uh
  56. 3:25So, like sometimes what I do
  57. 3:28sometimes what I do when I'm adding into
  58. 3:30positions is I'll use stop orders, like
  59. 3:32a stop buy, right? And so, one time on
  60. 3:35um
  61. 3:37or like a stop sell if we're going down.
  62. 3:39One time on Lucid when I was trying to
  63. 3:42add into a position, I did a limit
  64. 3:44instead of a stop and so I like hedged
  65. 3:47for like 5 seconds.
  66. 3:49And then they took away my ability for
  67. 3:51real-time like
  68. 3:53activation.
  69. 3:55So,
  70. 3:57now whenever I pass a
  71. 3:59account with Lucid, if I got to
  72. 4:03wait till the end of the day, basically.
  73. 4:15Yeah, dude, what a bummer. I tried to go
  74. 4:17long yesterday on NQ.
  75. 4:21Somewhere around like here. Maybe it was
  76. 4:24No, no, my bad. Like around here.
  77. 4:27I ended up taking taking an L. It was
  78. 4:29like after
  79. 4:31we took these lows.
  80. 4:33And then I went to go get dinner.
  81. 4:36And then
  82. 4:39we had this.
  83. 4:40Kind of devastating, but whatever.
  84. 4:43So, today, keep in mind we're still in a
  85. 4:46higher time frame bearish
  86. 4:48uh
  87. 4:49structure.
  88. 4:50Okay. So,
  89. 4:52at this point, we did take these lows,
  90. 4:54we did pump up off of that Trump news.
  91. 4:58In this area, I'm looking for us to
  92. 5:01potentially find some resistance.
  93. 5:04Somewhere in here. If we start pushing
  94. 5:06above 23,500
  95. 5:08with like some sustained buying
  96. 5:09pressure,
  97. 5:11um then at that point I'm not really
  98. 5:12looking for shorts until we start taking
  99. 5:15these highs and pushing up a little
  100. 5:16deeper.
  101. 5:17If we do come down, then what I'm
  102. 5:19looking at is I'm looking at these lows
  103. 5:21right here.
  104. 5:23Or London lows, basically. And then I
  105. 5:25would want to see us come at least
  106. 5:27halfway into uh
  107. 5:33halfway into Asia session. Now, the only
  108. 5:35thing that I'm looking at though that's
  109. 5:37slightly concerning is that whenever we
  110. 5:39have these large Asia moves overnight,
  111. 5:41like I just don't want to see us begin
  112. 5:43to consolidate
  113. 5:46or balance out during New York open.
  114. 5:48We do have jolts though at 10:00 a.m.
  115. 5:50Eastern, so
  116. 5:54this actually might be an entry for
  117. 5:55shorts.
  118. 5:57Pre-market.
  119. 6:06I'm already down 400.
  120. 6:10We'll just wait.
  121. 6:13And then up here at 565, we do have the
  122. 6:15call wall, so it's like
  123. 6:18sitting right around here. If we
  124. 6:21there is a chance that we can push up
  125. 6:23into this area and just start like
  126. 6:26rotating around it.
  127. 6:29Due to like hedging due to the hedging
  128. 6:31pressure.
  129. 6:33But I'm hoping that we don't. Hope we
  130. 6:35just came up to it and and we're going
  131. 6:36to bounce off of it and start rotating
  132. 6:38lower.
  133. 6:40Targeting
  134. 6:41Oh, sorry.
  135. 6:42Targeting here.
  136. 6:52So,
  137. 6:53I do want to see lower though,
  138. 6:55basically. Long story short, I want to
  139. 6:57see us go lower.
  140. 7:08So, because
  141. 7:10we're in location of where I want to
  142. 7:12look for shorts,
  143. 7:14if the opening candle pumps up and
  144. 7:18basically does this like fake move
  145. 7:20higher and then creates a wick and
  146. 7:22starts dropping down, I'm going to go
  147. 7:23short.
  148. 7:25Just so you guys know.
  149. 7:28But if it opens up and it just starts
  150. 7:30dumping,
  151. 7:32then
  152. 7:33I might just have to sit on the
  153. 7:35sidelines for that one.
  154. 7:41And
  155. 7:44if
  156. 7:45we just pump up and we start pushing and
  157. 7:47it's just one-sided trade where it's
  158. 7:49just buyers pushing through all this
  159. 7:51stuff,
  160. 7:55then I'm just going to wait.
  161. 7:58The shaded areas in the middle of the
  162. 8:00chart, these things,
  163. 8:02these are sessions.
  164. 8:04Although I think they're off on the
  165. 8:06timing.
  166. 8:27The brown horizon.
  167. 8:31Sorry, bro, I'm color blind. Is it this?
  168. 8:34Is this brown?
  169. 8:36Or is this brown?
  170. 8:41I don't know.
  171. 8:44I'm color blind.
  172. 8:46Yes.
  173. 8:47Both.
  174. 8:51Oh, this is just an area in premium that
  175. 8:52I'm watching from this range that was
  176. 8:54established.
  177. 8:57This is a uh
  178. 8:59This is from an indicator that I have.
  179. 9:03And then this is
  180. 9:04uh
  181. 9:09What's it called?
  182. 9:12The first presented
  183. 9:13um
  184. 9:14some ICT [ __ ] The first presented fair
  185. 9:17value gap of the time slot.
  186. 9:21On a 5-minute.
  187. 9:40So, we'll see what happens here at the
  188. 9:42what it does here at the open.
  189. 9:46If I lose a thousand bucks, I'm going to
  190. 9:48have to stop. So, I'm actually going to
  191. 9:51set a loss limit for a thousand dollars
  192. 9:53because
  193. 9:56we took a payout last night.
  194. 9:59But, um,
  195. 10:01yeah, we don't want to lose more than a
  196. 10:02thousand bucks.
  197. 10:05We can We can come back with uh
  198. 10:08like $3,500, but
  199. 10:12we don't want to tilt.
  200. 10:14So, if we lose a thousand bucks, we'll
  201. 10:15just stop for the day.
  202. 10:17So, we're making a push up at the open,
  203. 10:20but we're going to see if it's a real
  204. 10:22push or if we're going to actually just
  205. 10:23drop lower. I need to be careful though
  206. 10:26about
  207. 10:30whiplashing.
  208. 10:31Like
  209. 10:32fake a move up, go down, slam back up.
  210. 10:36Seems to be a recurring theme here at
  211. 10:39New York open.
  212. 10:40But, we are pushing up into uh
  213. 10:51Hold on.
  214. 11:00How big is this?
  215. 11:02I'm going to go short with five micros
  216. 11:05right here.
  217. 11:08We'll put it at
  218. 11:11We'll put it at the top of the wick,
  219. 11:12honestly.
  220. 11:14I just want to see if it's going to flip
  221. 11:17bearish before it takes the highs. But,
  222. 11:19if it just takes the highs, I'll just
  223. 11:20take the L.
  224. 11:35If we lose a thousand bucks pretty
  225. 11:36quickly, cuz we'll be down at this point
  226. 11:39like 700.
  227. 11:40>> Order filled. I think I might just buy
  228. 11:42another eval.
  229. 11:46And then we'll trade that.
  230. 12:07Probably should have waited for it to
  231. 12:08take the high, but
  232. 12:10it's all right.
  233. 12:16We'll try to make a comeback. We got
  234. 12:18$260 of drawdown
  235. 12:22before I'mma just
  236. 12:23stop on this account.
  237. 12:27And then we'll probably buy another
  238. 12:28eval.
  239. 13:21I should have waited for that high to
  240. 13:23get taken first before I tried to tried
  241. 13:24to fade that.
  242. 13:29Yeah, I still trade absorption market,
  243. 13:31but
  244. 13:33or I'm looking at absorption.
  245. 13:36It's basically, yeah.
  246. 13:38So, to answer your question, yes.
  247. 13:48Am I shorting the 565? Well, we're right
  248. 13:50here. I understand that we're here, but
  249. 13:54what I'm looking at mainly is this area.
  250. 13:57If we're going to go lower, I would
  251. 13:58expect us to turn around
  252. 14:01in this area. Oh, sorry.
  253. 14:04I'm watching this area.
  254. 14:07So, if
  255. 14:08if I think we're going to turn around, I
  256. 14:09would expect us to turn around in here.
  257. 14:11Otherwise,
  258. 14:13if we push past like up here,
  259. 14:17past this gray area, then
  260. 14:21I'm not looking at shorts anymore.
  261. 14:26But, am I specifically just like
  262. 14:28shorting the 565? No.
  263. 14:33Do I understand that it's there? Yeah.
  264. 14:55Oh, I wish I didn't take an L last
  265. 14:57night, so I would have more drawdown
  266. 14:59today.
  267. 15:03But, it's all right.
  268. 15:20Well, we'll see if it's even going to go
  269. 15:22down or not. We don't know if it's going
  270. 15:23to go down. We could just continue
  271. 15:25higher.
  272. 15:43It's a big trade.
  273. 15:50It's 380 something con-
  274. 15:52contracts.
  275. 16:27All right. While this is doing this,
  276. 16:31I'm actually just going to
  277. 16:33buy a Lucid account real quick.
  278. 16:58Do the Trade C? Trade C is so
  279. 17:03garbage.
  280. 17:05Last night, I got like such a terrible
  281. 17:07[ __ ] fill.
  282. 17:14Wait, what the [ __ ]
  283. 17:18Oh.
  284. 17:44You got that code right now at 78 bucks.
  285. 17:51$78.
  286. 18:37All right. I think I'm going to go over
  287. 18:40to Trade C.
  288. 18:50But, I got to see if it's uh
  289. 18:57[ __ ] they got to make the account.
  290. 19:17Hold on.
  291. 19:50Oh, it's right here.
  292. 19:53It's all right, but
  293. 19:59Sorry if the
  294. 20:01>> [laughter]
  295. 20:02>> Sorry if this shit's all like messed up.
  296. 20:04I just
  297. 20:06I don't have like a
  298. 20:08I don't have it set up for it yet.
  299. 20:10Cuz I don't really use Lucid that often.
  300. 20:34I might honestly just
  301. 20:37I don't really have a lot of drawdown
  302. 20:38left. I might as well just stop right
  303. 20:40there, honestly.
  304. 20:42Took a L on the longs last night during
  305. 20:44Asia and then tried to short it up here
  306. 20:47and then took a L.
  307. 20:49I'll just stop.
  308. 21:00Yeah, we don't want to make that loss
  309. 21:02bigger. I'm actually just going to lock
  310. 21:03out of this to be honest.
  311. 21:05Do myself a favor.
  312. 21:10We'll just try and trade this Lucid
  313. 21:12account.
  314. 21:16I trade gold, too.
  315. 21:18Uh
  316. 21:20Most of famed, I trade gold.
  317. 21:24But usually only during Asia.
  318. 22:24>> [snorts]
  319. 22:44>> Hopefully by
  320. 22:47Hopefully by
  321. 22:49uh
  322. 22:50tomorrow
  323. 22:52I'll have some more funded accounts.
  324. 22:54If I can pass at least one of those
  325. 22:56Topstep accounts
  326. 23:02we'll be at three
  327. 23:04fundeds. I need to get back to being at
  328. 23:06like
  329. 23:06eight or 10 funded accounts. But I'm not
  330. 23:09I don't think I'm going to copy trade
  331. 23:10them the same way I did last time.
  332. 23:13Cuz when I blew all of them, that kind
  333. 23:15of sucked.
  334. 23:16Kind of [ __ ] sucked.
  335. 23:37We also have jolts in like
  336. 23:3917 minutes.
  337. 23:51But I'm watching this area. If we
  338. 23:52continue to push past this, then I'm not
  339. 23:54really going to
  340. 23:56be looking for shorts anymore.
  341. 24:05Then at that point, I'm expecting us to
  342. 24:07come up to like
  343. 24:08600.
  344. 24:10But that'd be a pretty big move for the
  345. 24:12day.
  346. 24:22I'm going to go short right here.
  347. 24:25Let's see if we get cooked.
  348. 24:28Ooh, kind of a big stop.
  349. 24:40We'll risk
  350. 24:41a thousand bucks.
  351. 24:44We'll try and target back towards
  352. 24:46opening price
  353. 24:50to hit profit target on it.
  354. 24:56I'm going to move this
  355. 24:58to break even as we're approaching 565
  356. 25:00though.
  357. 25:17Whoops.
  358. 25:24This isn't TradingView.
  359. 25:26Maggie move.
  360. 25:28Ooh, what happened, Nico guy?
  361. 25:33What's the uh sad news?
  362. 25:36I hope you didn't blow all your
  363. 25:38accounts.
  364. 25:42Uh you blew your XFE.
  365. 25:49It's all right.
  366. 25:51You're up pretty big this month.
  367. 25:55What's a little blown account to a
  368. 25:57baller like you?
  369. 26:07DLP
  370. 26:11It's from an indicator. It's from this.
  371. 26:16How much of a buffer did you blow today?
  372. 26:21Those boxes are coming from this.
  373. 26:23Just so you guys know.
  374. 26:48Came right back into the 565 on QQQ to
  375. 26:52just like jump back up.
  376. 27:00Ooh, you blew two XFEs today?
  377. 27:07Hey, well you know what? If it makes you
  378. 27:08feel better, I'm down 700 on this one.
  379. 27:12I took a payout on it yesterday though.
  380. 27:15For like $4,700.
  381. 27:23And then I full ported this this
  382. 27:24morning. I full ported this this
  383. 27:26morning.
  384. 27:30And then I have this account I'm waiting
  385. 27:33to activate.
  386. 27:35And then we're going to try and full
  387. 27:36port this one right now.
  388. 27:40You still got an account though with
  389. 27:422.5k in it.
  390. 27:44You're good.
  391. 27:58Mhm.
  392. 28:02It's all right.
  393. 28:04March was a tough month, honestly.
  394. 28:07At least it was for me.
  395. 28:09I'm sure it was for some other people,
  396. 28:11but maybe not everybody.
  397. 28:14Probably not everybody, but it was for
  398. 28:16me.
  399. 28:21We were able to survive this month
  400. 28:23though.
  401. 28:24We're still up.
  402. 28:36Uh Zal, you blew your XFE. What's up
  403. 28:38with everyone blowing XFEs today?
  404. 28:50Today's also the end of the month, too,
  405. 28:51so.
  406. 29:06Well, Maggie move, at least you uh
  407. 29:11at least you took a
  408. 29:12payout before you blew those.
  409. 29:24Dude, what a crazy move up.
  410. 29:28If we go and take
  411. 29:29If we go up to like 600
  412. 29:34it'll be nuts.
  413. 29:41Sheesh. All right, I'm not shorting this
  414. 29:43anymore. Or
  415. 29:45or we're not going to even try. Let's
  416. 29:48take all of this [ __ ] off of here.
  417. 29:58Any type of short idea is now totally in
  418. 30:01the we're going to crumple that up.
  419. 30:04Throw it in the garbage.
  420. 30:06I don't think it's a good idea to short
  421. 30:07this.
  422. 30:09Try to give it a shot over here, but
  423. 30:12Yeah.
  424. 30:13Now
  425. 30:15I don't think so.
  426. 30:23So, at this point I'm going to see if
  427. 30:25we're going to actually continue up to
  428. 30:28uh
  429. 30:29574
  430. 30:31and 600.
  431. 30:33Like here.
  432. 30:35We're watching this.
  433. 30:43We do have news, though.
  434. 30:45We do have news.
  435. 30:47I'm going to try and enter in some longs
  436. 30:49right here.
  437. 30:51As we're coming down into where these
  438. 30:52big orders stepped in.
  439. 30:55But
  440. 30:56I'm going to have to risk like
  441. 30:59a thousand bucks.
  442. 31:02I'm going to have to Technically, I
  443. 31:04should be risking more than that because
  444. 31:07I need I would need my stop to be down
  445. 31:09here.
  446. 31:12But it's too far away.
  447. 31:13And we're on an eval. So, we're using
  448. 31:15heavy size.
  449. 31:18Oh, you guys can't see it.
  450. 31:35But whenever I end up like passing or
  451. 31:38blowing this or like hitting profit
  452. 31:39target or blowing this, I think I'm
  453. 31:41going to stop for today. I got cooked on
  454. 31:43the funded last night. And then this
  455. 31:45morning I tried to take a short.
  456. 31:48I hit profit target on two evals today.
  457. 31:55Uh I'm waiting to activate one of them.
  458. 31:58We're just trading this one.
  459. 32:09So.
  460. 32:12We'll try not turn it into like a
  461. 32:13terrible day.
  462. 32:19Definitely not the best day, though.
  463. 32:21We'll say that.
  464. 32:34I hope they eventually improve this
  465. 32:35platform Trade C cuz as of right now
  466. 32:38it's pretty [ __ ]
  467. 32:44Yeah, we do have news soon.
  468. 33:42I'm going to move my stop
  469. 33:44once this flips bullish.
  470. 34:09We have a bunch of orders sitting at
  471. 34:11550, which is basically where this TP is
  472. 34:13at, so
  473. 34:15we're going to have to take them
  474. 34:18to hit profit target.
  475. 34:32All right. Well
  476. 34:34I made too much money.
  477. 34:37[ __ ]
  478. 34:42We got to try and lose 50 bucks.
  479. 34:48So, this is this is the plan here, okay?
  480. 34:52We're going to I'm not familiar with
  481. 34:53this platform. We're going to go
  482. 34:56dollar brackets
  483. 34:5950.
  484. 35:02Now, we're going to try and do it the
  485. 35:03top step method. We're going to go 10
  486. 35:0510.
  487. 35:07Save that.
  488. 35:13Let me just make sure this works first
  489. 35:14before I just go all crazy with it.
  490. 35:18Okay, cool.
  491. 35:20Cool.
  492. 35:27Before I make 10 bucks, let me get out
  493. 35:28of that. So, we're going to go
  494. 35:3115 micros.
  495. 35:40[ __ ]
  496. 35:47Just one more.
  497. 35:55Bro, Trade C sucks. What the [ __ ] All
  498. 35:58right, there we go.
  499. 36:01Dude, I don't know if you guys saw that,
  500. 36:03but I did like maybe three [ __ ]
  501. 36:05trades where it didn't uh
  502. 36:09it didn't even change my P&L. Like what
  503. 36:11the [ __ ]
  504. 36:16All right, so the reason So, just so you
  505. 36:18guys know, this morning I actually
  506. 36:20wanted to see us come lower.
  507. 36:22Okay.
  508. 36:24When we were up here, I was expecting us
  509. 36:26actually to come down and target these
  510. 36:29lows and retrace into some of Asia's
  511. 36:31pump up. But
  512. 36:35I had an area where I knew where I
  513. 36:37basically was going to change my mind.
  514. 36:39Where I was going to say, "Oh, no. I was
  515. 36:41wrong.
  516. 36:43We're not going lower. We're going
  517. 36:45higher."
  518. 36:46And it was somewhere around the five It
  519. 36:49was the 500 area.
  520. 36:51And so, once we push up past 500, then
  521. 36:55at that point I'm no longer looking for
  522. 36:57shorts.
  523. 36:59I understand that shorts are probably
  524. 37:01not going to happen until we at at the
  525. 37:03very minimum
  526. 37:04take New York AM highs from yesterday.
  527. 37:08Or we come into this area.
  528. 37:11So, when we push up like this, when this
  529. 37:13candle opened up, it didn't have a wick
  530. 37:15above it.
  531. 37:18When this candle opened up, we it
  532. 37:19literally opened up and immediately
  533. 37:21traced back. So, the chances of that
  534. 37:24like retracing into this
  535. 37:30This is like a continuation entry I'll
  536. 37:31usually take, by the way.
  537. 37:33Retracing into the where these stacked
  538. 37:35imbalances are at with the large orders.
  539. 37:38I wanted us to
  540. 37:40essentially come into this area, retest
  541. 37:42it
  542. 37:43and then flip. And this was going to be
  543. 37:45like I was trying to enter in on the
  544. 37:47wick of the 5-minute candle before it
  545. 37:49continued.
  546. 37:51Because it didn't
  547. 37:53move up at all when it opened.
  548. 37:59Now
  549. 38:01I didn't have my stop loss in a good
  550. 38:03location, though, because
  551. 38:07when
  552. 38:08um
  553. 38:09Hold on, let me change these settings
  554. 38:10real quick so I don't [ __ ] this up
  555. 38:12later.
  556. 38:17Because when you're trying to take a
  557. 38:18continuation like this, you kind of need
  558. 38:21a
  559. 38:22Like my stop would have to been down
  560. 38:23here.
  561. 38:25Below this.
  562. 38:28And that was like 50
  563. 38:32I think over 50 points or maybe 40 or 50
  564. 38:35points from my entry and I have two
  565. 38:37minis on a
  566. 38:38eval, it's going to just blow the
  567. 38:40account. So, I had to just like
  568. 38:42basically put a stop loss that didn't
  569. 38:43really make a lot of sense and didn't
  570. 38:45make any sense at all and just hope it
  571. 38:46didn't get touched, basically.
  572. 38:50And it worked out, but
  573. 38:54unfortunately, we are down on the
  574. 38:56funded.
  575. 38:58But it's all right because
  576. 39:03if we go look
  577. 39:05at our typical winning day
  578. 39:08we're all right. We're all right.
  579. 39:13A lot of the winning days are above a
  580. 39:14thousand bucks. So,
  581. 39:17if we keep a a losing day on this
  582. 39:19account to 740 bucks
  583. 39:23then we'll be chill.
  584. 39:26It'll be fine.
  585. 39:36When I'm taking retest entries like the
  586. 39:38last one, are you using a fixed dollar
  587. 39:41amount? No. Well, when I'm using an
  588. 39:43eval, yeah, I am using a fixed dollar
  589. 39:45amount. But, when I'm trading normally
  590. 39:48on a normal account, like a funded
  591. 39:49account,
  592. 39:51or an account that I like care more
  593. 39:52about,
  594. 39:54uh no.
  595. 39:56The stop would have had to been down
  596. 39:58here.
  597. 40:03But, I can't do that because it would
  598. 40:04have blown the account.
  599. 40:10The yellow Are you talking about this
  600. 40:11yellow thing, Merka?
  601. 40:15Let's see what the news is about to do.
  602. 40:20So, we took those highs.
  603. 40:23Came into this area.
  604. 40:29We're also at the second largest
  605. 40:33Let me see.
  606. 40:38Yeah, we're at the second largest
  607. 40:40positive gex up here.
  608. 40:42Right at 569, like literally right here.
  609. 40:48These This is a cluster of large orders.
  610. 40:50This is showing us
  611. 40:51uh
  612. 40:55unusually
  613. 40:57large size
  614. 41:01compared to the rest of the candles.
  615. 41:02But, I have it on a filter to only show
  616. 41:04me 300 and above.
  617. 41:09I have this other chart. Let me pull it
  618. 41:11up.
  619. 41:16So, this one
  620. 41:19Whoops.
  621. 41:23I don't know if you can see this.
  622. 41:25Whoa.
  623. 41:26This one doesn't have a filter on it.
  624. 41:28So, you're going to see more of them.
  625. 41:32This is on my other screen.
  626. 41:35But, I I I like to keep this one
  627. 41:37cleaner, so I put like a filter on it
  628. 41:39for like 300.
  629. 41:48But, yeah.
  630. 41:49So, honestly, a little bit of a shorter
  631. 41:51morning today.
  632. 41:53Took a L on the funded. Profit target on
  633. 41:57three
  634. 41:59evals.
  635. 42:01I'm going to try and like
  636. 42:07hopefully pass two of them. So, then
  637. 42:09I'll have four funded accounts heading
  638. 42:11into April.
  639. 42:12And then I'm going to stop buying
  640. 42:13accounts and just focus on getting a
  641. 42:16payout.
  642. 42:17So, that I'm not going to be net
  643. 42:18negative to start the month like I was
  644. 42:21this month cuz that made it difficult.
  645. 42:36So,
  646. 42:40Yeah, last thing I'll say is uh
  647. 42:44If you guys ever have a bias, it's
  648. 42:45pretty important to have like uh
  649. 42:49an invalidation point of where you
  650. 42:52understand that you were wrong.
  651. 42:57Otherwise, what are you going to do?
  652. 42:58Just like marry your bias and like
  653. 43:00ignore what the chart is telling you?
  654. 43:03I wanted to see us go lower. We didn't
  655. 43:04go lower, so I just gave that idea up.
  656. 43:07I just followed the pressure.
  657. 43:11Now, I'mma be real, though. I probably
  658. 43:13wouldn't have taken that trade on a
  659. 43:15funded account.
  660. 43:17I just took it on a
  661. 43:23I just took a uh
  662. 43:25No, I'm not saying you're wrong, Leaf.
  663. 43:28It's not what I'm saying at all.
  664. 43:30I'm just saying for my situation, right?
  665. 43:32Cuz I was trying to short it down down
  666. 43:34here, right? But, I have to understand
  667. 43:36like where do we go on the chart where
  668. 43:40higher is likely than lower. Well, it
  669. 43:41was right here, and then I was saying
  670. 43:43that we were coming up here, right?
  671. 43:44Which we came up here and took it out.
  672. 43:48But,
  673. 43:50we're still higher time frame, like
  674. 43:53overall higher time frame, we're still
  675. 43:54bearish.
  676. 44:00I was just trying to look for it down
  677. 44:01here, which never happened.
  678. 44:11Three break evens.
  679. 44:13Hey, better than three losses.
  680. 44:21All right. Well, I'mma get off.
  681. 44:24We'll come back tomorrow. We'll try and
  682. 44:26do a better job. I'll have two funded
  683. 44:27accounts tomorrow, hopefully three or
  684. 44:29four.
  685. 44:31And then we will uh
  686. 44:34try and have a better month in um April.
  687. 44:37Also, just so you guys know,
  688. 44:42So, so re- recap of this month since
  689. 44:45this is the last day
  690. 44:47is uh
  691. 44:49I started the month with like eight
  692. 44:51funded accounts.
  693. 44:54There was like 18, maybe 18 or 19,000
  694. 44:57dollars in funded account balance. And I
  695. 45:00was on the last day
  696. 45:02of a payout.
  697. 45:03It was supposed to be like a $8,000
  698. 45:05payout.
  699. 45:06I fumbled it.
  700. 45:08I tilted.
  701. 45:10I blew all the accounts copy trading,
  702. 45:12like the second day second trading day
  703. 45:14of the month.
  704. 45:18And then I like started buying Apex
  705. 45:19accounts. And then I
  706. 45:22And then I basically like tilted for a
  707. 45:25bit.
  708. 45:26And then um
  709. 45:31And then I was able to
  710. 45:33get my money back. So,
  711. 45:35after profit split,
  712. 45:38this month I took like
  713. 45:4110,800
  714. 45:44something in payouts.
  715. 45:48Full transparency, I probably spent like
  716. 45:52I mean, I have the numbers. I'll look at
  717. 45:53it later, but I probably spent like
  718. 45:552,500 bucks on fees and [ __ ]
  719. 45:59So,
  720. 46:01before taxes, we're probably only up
  721. 46:04like 7,500 bucks or eight grand this
  722. 46:06month, which
  723. 46:10after you account for taxes, well,
  724. 46:12that's not that much. But, the good
  725. 46:13thing is that
  726. 46:15at least we continue the streak of being
  727. 46:17net positive with prop firms. It was a
  728. 46:19rough month for me.
  729. 46:21And New York opens this month have also
  730. 46:24been pretty rough
  731. 46:25for me and how I trade
  732. 46:27because
  733. 46:29when it comes to the way that I trade, I
  734. 46:31prefer when Asia has a smaller range,
  735. 46:35and then it establishes like a range,
  736. 46:38and then London tests that range, and
  737. 46:40then New York will move in the direction
  738. 46:42of the day.
  739. 46:43But,
  740. 46:45kind of what's been happening
  741. 46:47recently is
  742. 46:50um
  743. 46:51Asia and London are making these massive
  744. 46:53moves, and then New York open is like
  745. 46:57consolidating or whiplashing back and
  746. 46:59forth
  747. 47:00majority of the days, like maybe 75% of
  748. 47:02the days, and then
  749. 47:05it will make a move like when I'm not
  750. 47:07trading, like during lunch or during the
  751. 47:09PM session. But, I'm not usually trading
  752. 47:11those times, so
  753. 47:13yeah. Bit of a rough month, but we
  754. 47:15survived it.
  755. 47:16And we're still green.
  756. 47:19Was it a good month? No.
  757. 47:21Did I Did I spend more than I wanted to
  758. 47:23on evals?
  759. 47:25Yeah.
  760. 47:26I probably blew like
  761. 47:32I probably blew like 30 accounts, dude.
  762. 47:36I probably blew like 30 accounts this
  763. 47:38month.
  764. 47:39Which is crazy. But,
  765. 47:42ah, who gives a [ __ ] dude? We're green.
  766. 47:44We're green.
  767. 47:48Yeah, this is delta.
  768. 47:51And this is volume.
  769. 47:55So, this is the delta of every 5-minute
  770. 47:57candle, and this is the volume of every
  771. 47:585-minute candle.
  772. 48:04All right. We'll catch you guys
  773. 48:06tomorrow.
  774. 48:08And we'll start our month in April,
  775. 48:10hopefully on a better note.
  776. 48:13Peace.
