0:27What up?
0:56Good morning. Good morning.
1:23All right. Well, today we're going to be
1:25working on eval, but
1:27I may trade uh
1:29my live account uh potentially.
1:31Trying to build it up.
1:36I'm also currently uh full porting an
1:38eval.
1:43We went in profit, but it turned around,
1:45so we might may take a uh
1:47$703 L right now on this eval.
1:55I'm going to be trading just a bunch of
1:57evals today, honestly.
2:00This is looking decent uh for the
2:02shorts.
2:03There was a moment in time where we were
2:05up uh
2:08830 for a very brief moment in time.
2:13So, we'll see if it comes down. If not,
2:16we'll have like 1,300 uh
2:19Yeah, we're cooked. But, we'll have like
2:211,300 to work with. So, I have this
2:24eval. I got this eval.
2:29And then I got this eval. So, we're
2:31going to
2:33we're going to eval it up today.
2:38Cooked.
2:42So, I'm going to wait a little bit. This
2:44is kind of [ __ ]
2:48But, whatever.
2:55We locked in this payout though. So, at
2:57the end of the day today, we'll take a
2:58uh
3:00It's basically like $4,700.
3:16I am trying to see if we're going to
3:17come down though at the open to
3:19rebalance
3:22some of this move from the overnight.
3:25We had a large move overnight. It was
3:27like
3:28almost 400 points or almost 500 points.
3:56Yeah, as I locked out of it.
4:00There's no point in trading it.
4:02I mean, the most the the biggest payout
4:04I can get on it anyways is five grand.
4:06So, if we're already at 4,700, like
4:10are we going to risk that for another
4:12$300? Not really.
4:15It's not a good idea.
4:20What up, wavy?
4:37So, we're just going to wait for market
4:38open, but
4:40I would like to see us rebalance some of
4:42the move from
4:44last night.
4:49Whether we take these highs first or we
4:51come up here first, I do want to see us
4:53eventually come down.
4:57On QQQ,
4:59I'm watching 574.
5:02So, just so you know where that's at.
5:07We're right here premarket. I'm watching
5:10this area.
5:11Right around where we uh
5:14closed regular trading hours.
5:19That's what they call resistance is at
5:21or the call wall.
5:39So, we're going to look for some
5:40opportunities to full port.
5:50And then if I see anything that's
5:52actually
5:53pretty good, I might take it on my live
5:55account.
5:58Trying to grow this balance.
6:01You guys can't see it, but it's at 1,100
6:04right now.
7:37The good news is that
7:39we were able to make a comeback.
7:42We were able to make a comeback this
7:44month.
7:45It was It wasn't looking too hot,
7:47honestly.
7:50Beginning of the month.
7:53But, our streak
7:55continues
7:57to not be net negative with firms.
8:05Which is good.
8:07I didn't have a lot of hope in the
8:08beginning though.
8:11When I blew all those accounts at the
8:12beginning of March,
8:16it was a
8:19it was a sad time.
8:27And this this month also for New York
8:29opens
8:30has been kind of rough. So,
8:35we got through it though.
8:47Very nice. Yeah.
8:49I probably, dude.
8:52I probably
8:54blew like
8:5710 funded accounts this month and like
9:02I don't know.
9:03I was trading Apex for a little bit at
9:05the beginning of this month, so I uh
9:08I probably and I traded these Fidus $500
9:13static drawdown accounts, so I probably
9:15blew like 30 evals.
9:22Yeah, you could DM me.
9:26Just DM me. I'll look at it later.
9:34Yeah, rough month, but
9:39we're still good.
9:52Yeah, that is all that matters. It
9:54really doesn't matter how many accounts
9:55you blow, to be honest.
10:13Cuz at this point
10:15I can still I could depending on what
10:17prop firm, I could probably blow like
10:19another 50 or 60 accounts and I would
10:22still be technically net positive, so.
10:51What up, Joseph?
11:19Uh
11:21Do I full port evals on CPI? Not really.
11:25I did I did last uh
11:29this last CPI.
11:31Usually if I trade CPI, I just trade it
11:33with a funded account.
11:35At least that's what I've been doing
11:35like the past three or four CPIs.
11:45Although I think I'm going to
11:46sit out on the uh the eval or the funded
11:50account trading for the CPI this month.
11:57Last month I went long.
11:59I think I was I went long on
12:03two funded accounts and four or five
12:06evals during CPI. It went up like 300
12:09ticks in profit.
12:11It was like 40 ticks away from my TP.
12:15And then it just turned around and
12:16slammed all the way back down.
12:33I'm just going to full port this short.
12:36The rest of the 12 Actually, no, I'm
12:39not.
12:40There's a chance we open up and sweep
12:41the highs first. So, we'll we'll save
12:43the 1,200 of drawdown.
12:53The goal is about I bought three evals.
12:58If I can hit profit target on two of
13:00them,
13:01we're Gucci.
13:07Then I got to pass them, though.
13:09So.
13:15We'll try and bring that one back from
13:16the dead. It's like it's not dead
13:18actually at all, but it's $700 in
13:20drawdown.
13:35I'm my bad if the if
13:38if this thing up here is all like messed
13:41up, I'm just too lazy to change it
13:43for Tradeoview cuz I'm on Tradeoview for
13:46Lucid.
14:22The goal is is I'm trying to get some
14:23funded accounts.
14:26At least one more
14:28today
14:30and tomorrow.
14:32Like finish them today and then like or
14:34or get them halfway done today and then
14:35finish them tomorrow.
14:38So, that we have more cuz right now we
14:39realistically only have one funded
14:41account.
14:42Now, the balance on it's okay, but
14:45I need more
14:48for April.
14:55But we have enough time.
14:57We just got to hopefully
15:00pass
15:01at least one out of three.
15:04Hopefully we pass one out of three.
15:12Ooh.
15:15Ooh. Should we Ooh. That looks nasty.
15:18We're going to wait a second.
15:25We're going to give it a little bit of
15:26time.
15:31But if we open up and we go like this
15:33and we start slamming back down, I'm
15:34going short.
15:48I'm watching this. I I don't know what
15:49this was. If this this looks like this
15:51was probably some type of news.
15:54Some type of tweet or something.
15:59We may take this out.
16:18Oh, it was Trump this morning. What did
16:19he say?
16:22Let me guess. Let me guess. He said
16:24something about how he's talking to
16:26Iran.
16:27And they had a good talk.
16:31Oh, yeah. Great progress has been made.
16:34Oh, a deal probably.
16:42Oh, dude, that's crazy.
16:46That's crazy that
16:48he can that he does that.
17:22Oh, we're kind of lagging right now.
17:31It's moving kind of fast.
17:53How big is this?
17:58Okay.
18:07We're going to wait a second, but
18:10like I said, I would like us to
18:12rebalance some of this
18:14overnight move.
18:19But I just got to be I got PTSD for New
18:22York open, so we're going to
18:24wait.
18:29Yeah, PTSD, dude. It just like
18:31whiplashes around.
18:38And then I think uh Powell's speaking
18:41soon at some Harvard thing.
18:50Yeah, we just got to be uh
18:52got to be a little careful.
19:21Uh if you want to get heat map, it's
19:23like you got to click this thing in the
19:24bottom corner. It's called chart trader.
19:31You'll be able to see it.
19:38How long have I been trading?
19:41Well, futures.
19:44I used to trade before futures, but
19:46futures specifically over 3 years.
19:51My order flow setup I actually have a
19:53video about my
19:55my settings for ATAS and I give you a
19:56template. So, if you want your chart to
19:58look like this, you could
20:02you could
20:03get it.
20:11I'm going to go to this eval that's
20:12already kind of done for and I'm just
20:14going to short it.
20:18So, where will we blow this account?
20:20Up here.
20:26So, if it comes back up, we'll blow the
20:28account
20:30and then we'll work on the other two.
20:35But, if it comes down,
20:38where do we need to be at?
20:42I need to do some quick math.
20:46769
20:49So, we need like 2,300.
20:54All right, 2,300.
21:02Let's see if we could push down, get a
21:04bearish close, and then have the five
21:06the next 5-minute continue, but
21:09we may just like start consolidate
21:12start to consolidate and [ __ ]
21:24We're having a lot of buyers get
21:25absorbed up here when they were trying
21:26to push. So, let's see if we could
21:29hit TP.
21:35Yeah, I do have a Discord channel.
21:38We're currently hanging out right now in
21:39the Discord.
21:48All right, I think we should be okay as
21:50long as it doesn't snap all the way back
21:52up right now.
21:53Which would be slightly devastating.
21:56But,
21:57there's a we got orders sitting at 450.
22:00So, if we
22:01slam through those,
22:05we should be able to at least wick
22:08my take profit.
22:19All right.
22:20I think we're good.
22:24Just to avoid some [ __ ] we're going
22:25to just go to break even.
22:29Or, actually,
22:33we'll put it at 800 so that we have we
22:35could start fresh.
22:43We're getting edged right now.
22:47Currently getting edged.
23:00Yo, that's crazy.
23:14All right, cool.
23:16So,
23:20we're able to catch like 50 points on
23:22that. We are now
23:26currently one for one on the evals.
23:28We're going to see how far it wants to
23:30go lower, but I'm trying to see if we're
23:31going to
23:34like this morning, especially after we
23:35have like a really large move overnight.
23:40I'm trying to see if we're going to
23:41start digging our way deeper, come
23:43towards this area, enter back towards
23:46um
23:49at least Asia highs. It's kind of what
23:50I'm looking at.
23:56It would have been a banger to take that
23:58trade on an account that doesn't have a
24:00profit target, but
24:01whatever.
24:04All right, let's go over to this this
24:05one now.
24:36So, if we can hit profit target on all
24:39three of these,
24:43it'll be a great day. It would be a
24:45great day.
24:50Cuz then I'm I'm at least going to get
24:52one funded account. If I hit profit
24:54target on three evals,
24:59and then I blow all three of them
25:00tomorrow, that would be kind of
25:01devastating, but
25:05not really, but it would it would be
25:07pretty disappointing and pathetic. So, I
25:09think we should be able
25:12Uh we'll we'll we'll worry about that
25:14tomorrow. Let's just try and hit profit
25:15target on the other two.
25:27My strategy for order flow?
25:31Well, if you join
25:33Bro, you know you're like the you're
25:35like
25:36one of two people in the in the YouTube
25:38chat, so you don't have to put all caps.
25:40I could read it. I could see it.
25:45But, to answer your question,
25:48um if you go in the Discord,
25:51I have like um
25:55I have PDFs that I took a long time
25:58writing.
26:00And it talks exactly about how I look at
26:02everything for the most part. So,
26:06you can go in there and download it.
26:12Yeah, I'm glad I'm glad you like them
26:15because
26:16it took me a while to make.
26:26Fire.
26:34Yo.
26:36Ravi.
26:40You got to just like
26:43click on go click the link in go click
26:46the link in my bio
26:48and then you'll be able to get there.
27:03Mentorships?
27:05Mm.
27:09We'll see.
27:18All right.
27:19If we push up,
27:23never mind.
27:27I want to see us keep coming down, but
27:34if I find an entry for a continuation on
27:37the shorts,
27:39I'm going to take it
27:41with three or five minis on this
27:45account. We'll try and hit profit
27:46target.
27:51Right now, I'm watching these lows.
27:55And I'm watching down here.
27:57Actually,
27:59towards
28:00Asia.
28:18Or, if we go five minis, we only really
28:22need like 60 ticks.
28:27But, then we could easily blow our
28:29account.
28:31All right, this is what we're going to
28:32do. We're going to go stop sell five.
28:38Order filled.
28:39>> Oh, it tagged me in.
28:42All right, 1,500.
28:44We'll go right there. We'll risk
28:46ooh, sketchy.
28:48You know, let's give ourselves another
28:49bullet in this chamber. We'll we'll risk
28:51a thousand bucks.
28:58Go. Go. Go. Oh, no, we're we're going to
29:00get cooked right here.
29:08All right, I'm going break even.
29:15The TP is basically right around where
29:17the lows are at.
29:18>> Order filled.
29:20No.
29:23It's kind of a sketchy one.
29:25I'm going to have to just wait a second.
29:31Or, we could do it again.
29:36No, we're going to wait.
30:03>> Probably wait for this 5 minutes to
30:05close
30:07before we try and full port it again.
30:16Cuz we still we we never really took
30:18these lows. I was trying to
30:21on the 1 minute
30:23get some like do some little
30:25continuation to take the lows. If we
30:27would have taken it, we would have hit
30:28it, but
30:30came back up a little bit.
30:36We do have the 15 minute that's about to
30:38open right now, so
30:42we're probably
30:45Well, it's better if we just kind of
30:46wait, actually.
31:15Once we do start
31:17getting into this area though, I'm going
31:19to start being a little
31:22like down here.
31:23If we do continue to drop, which
31:25honestly, now that I think about it,
31:27that's going to be a pretty
31:30big retracement, but if we get back in
31:32here, I'll be careful about trying to go
31:33short.
31:46Also, just
31:48just disclaimer real quick, I'm
31:50literally full porting evals right now,
31:52so if you're like trying to take any of
31:54these trades on a funded account, don't
31:56be an idiot. And just don't do that.
32:00Please.
32:04It's not my fault if you guys uh
32:08blow a funded account while I'm
32:10full porting evals.
32:20Now, if you're full porting evals with
32:21me,
32:23then that's a
32:27my bad if if one of them blows up.
32:29We did technically
32:32take a 50 point short, so
32:48Damn, it's a banger.
32:52How big How big of a move is that? 480
32:54to 100 points?
32:57Sheesh.
33:01All right, I'm going short right here.
33:04I'm going short
33:06and I'm going to risk
33:08Ah, it's nasty.
33:10We'll risk a thousand bucks.
33:16Oh, you guys can't see it.
33:22We caught a terrible entry.
33:27If it breaks lower, I'm actually going
33:28to add to.
33:33But I think we're going to get stopped
33:34out cuz
33:37this is a 1 minute chart, but this is
33:39like
33:41we're not getting past this POC.
33:45If we get dumped past it, it would be
33:47nice, but
33:51Order filled.
33:53All right, break even.
33:56Where do we need to go? Right here.
33:59It's one more push.
34:02Ooh.
34:03Edged.
34:05Edged.
34:11Order filled. Bang, two for two.
34:16Two for two, baby.
34:21All right, now let's go to the other
34:22one.
34:28All right, so currently
34:30we're two for two on our evals.
34:37Let's see if we can go three for three.
34:53Damn, dude, I should have taken those
34:54first shorts on my live account.
35:01It's what It's what I get for being a
35:02puss.
35:14But I am going to start being a little
35:15bit more cautious about trying to follow
35:18shorts lower because
35:23again, once we start getting into like
35:24this area
35:27once we start getting around here
35:30I'm going to be watching this area to
35:33see if we actually bounce. Like first,
35:35I'm watching there and then I'm watching
35:36here, so
35:38it's just turning into areas where I'm
35:41cautious about trying to long it but or
35:44short it. But if we start getting lower
35:48which would be actually pretty nuts if
35:49we fell all the way down
35:52which I don't think is going to happen
35:53today, but
35:56if we do go all the way down here, then
35:57at that point, we're coming down to
35:5923,000.
36:01But that might happen like
36:03later
36:05this week.
36:06Maybe not today.
36:10But if this is going to remain like the
36:12low of the week for a while, at least
36:14for the first couple days, then we
36:16realistically shouldn't be getting below
36:17this area.
36:25But we're not going to try and
36:26guess. We're just going to see what
36:28happens when we start getting down here
36:30if we continue to push.
36:42Although not going to cap, if we open up
36:45on this 5 minute and retrace into this
36:46big trade and start slamming down, I'm
36:48going short.
36:59Mhm.
37:00Not if we close right here, though. Only
37:01if we close down here.
37:17All right, let's see. If it comes up
37:19here and stalls and then flips, I'm
37:22going short.
37:23If it just runs, then we're just going
37:24to let it run.
37:57I'm actually not going to do that
37:58anymore because
38:00we were stalling right here.
38:04Or should we just do it anyways?
38:12Nah.
38:16Let that one go.
38:29Cuz we
38:30realistically, when you're when I'm
38:31trying to catch those like continuation
38:34moves like that
38:36I don't want to see this candle open up
38:38and move down first. It makes me less
38:40inclined to try and do that. When you
38:42open up and we don't take this low like
38:45on the previous 5 minute
38:47and we immediately push higher and start
38:49coming back down, then I'm more likely
38:51to try and take it because
38:53then at that point, we're probably going
38:55to at least get past this low and I can
38:56move it to break even, but
38:59since we kind of wick down first and
39:01we're just
39:03stalling right here
39:05it's probably better
39:09if I just don't.
39:18We'll try and be uh a little bit more
39:20selective
39:23for this one so we can go three for
39:24three today.
39:28But even if I blow this account
39:32I don't even care.
39:35We hit profit target on two.
39:40We should be able to
39:42to at least pass one of them.
40:23Did anyone catch these shorts?
40:27Did anyone go short when I went short up
40:29here?
40:31And was actually able to hold it?
40:34Other than void. Oh, nice sell. Let's
40:37go.
40:45Hell yeah.
40:49Yeah, I just don't have any funded to
40:50trade right now because
40:53I
40:57I already locked out of this account. I
40:58made this on NQ shorts last night.
41:04And
41:07I locked out cuz I'm going to pull a
41:08payout. So, that's why we're just like
41:09trading
41:11evals. Although, if I was
41:14if I if I did take that on my funded
41:16account, I probably would have gotten
41:17out by the time it
41:20got over here.
41:29Uh sometimes it's POC taps, sometimes
41:33it's low volume nodes, sometimes it's
41:35big trades or clusters of big trades, or
41:38sometimes it's a stacked imbalance.
41:41Kind of depends.
41:53The best ones are usually
41:55stacked imbalances instead of low volume
41:57nodes.
41:59For continuations, I'll take those.
42:10But but only if we open up and
42:13immediately start moving in the wrong
42:15like in the opposite direction of of
42:17true pressure.
42:20Because I don't want us to like anytime
42:23I'm trying to take a continuation, I
42:24don't really want it to like
42:27open up and then push down and come back
42:29up and then try and enter because
42:32I'm looking for it to basically create
42:33the wick before it continues its
42:35momentum.
42:49Oh, nice.
42:51A POC trade? This like Okay, so the
42:55reason why I said I was looking at
42:57shorts right here is cuz we had a big
42:58trade in the POCs right here.
43:00But I just didn't want to take it
43:02because
43:03we went down first. If we would have
43:05opened up and pushed up immediately
43:08I would have taken it.
43:15Rocket, where do you think we're going?
43:17If you're liking the shorts.
43:19Where's the target?
43:33Yeah, I'd be pretty careful about trying
43:35to
43:36Asia lows, okay.
43:38I'd be pretty careful about trying to
43:40long this right now.
43:43Some
43:44some advice to anyone trying to catch
43:47the bottom of this
43:49is going to be
43:51don't.
43:55That advice right there might save you
43:57some money.
44:10Well, I think QQQ just technically
44:13filled the gap. We're heading towards
44:15562, which is what I'm watching
44:18to see if we're going to hold that.
44:22Or if we're just going to get past it
44:23and start melting.
44:56Nice, Joseph.
44:58Let's go.
45:13I hope nobody's been sitting here trying
45:15to
45:16trying to long this.
45:29Yeah, shorts was was free money today.
45:39It's a bummer I locked out of my account
45:41early.
45:42Nah.
45:44It really doesn't matter, dude. Like
45:45there was no point in making more
45:46profits on that
45:48funded account.
45:59Rocket, you think we're going to drop
46:01that much today?
46:04From the top?
46:07That we're going to drop 1,000 points
46:09right now?
46:12Actually, that'd be more than 1,000
46:14points.
46:22Shoosh.
46:24Jeez.
46:26You catch that, you're a legend, dude.
46:38So, now that we're getting into this
46:39area, I'm I'm whether or not we're
46:41actually going to continue
46:43the momentum lower.
46:47254, even lower.
46:50The 1,200 points?
46:53That would be a banger.
47:03Hey, but you know what?
47:06Dude, thank god.
47:09We got out of this mess. We were in this
47:12mess on a higher time frame for a
47:14minute.
47:15And then now that we're breaking out of
47:17it, we're actually getting like
47:18directional moves, which is pretty fire.
47:22But for a little while, it was uh
47:25it was pretty [ __ ]
47:29Look at that 4-hour close.
47:55All right, I'm going to try and go short
47:56right here.
47:58We're going to
47:59risk 1,000 bucks. Ooh, we're going to
48:01get smoked.
48:08We just need to make a low.
48:12Oh, you guys can't see it. My bad.
48:49We're going to get cooked.
48:53We got another bullet in the chamber
48:55though.
48:57We'll we'll risk uh We can have we could
49:00risk 1,000 bucks when we get stopped out
49:01of this one.
49:05Or we still have 1,000 bucks.
49:08Actually
49:09let's give ourselves
49:111,030 bucks.
49:30This is probably
49:32come back up towards
49:375
49:39>> 564 on QQQ.
49:52All right, we're going to try and um
49:56make a comeback on that one.
50:00But if we blow it, it's all right.
50:06Currently two for three
50:09on evals today.
50:55Don't open so Krish.
50:59Hey Tuba.
51:02Don't tell me what to do.
51:05How about that?
51:12I don't even know what that means. Open
51:13so Krish.
51:27No, it's all right. You're right.
51:29I got cooked.
51:38A 30-second pullback?
51:40That's crazy strat.
53:16Dude, Zal, I'm not going to sit here for
53:1930 minutes to wait for Powell because
53:22then what? Then he starts talking and
53:24then I got to
53:26then I got to wait for him to finish
53:27talking.
53:31It's just the eval, brother. It's all
53:33right.
53:35We already Look,
53:38we got to think about this in terms of
53:39the bigger picture.
53:42We're pulling a payout today
53:45for 46.97.
53:48We hit profit target on one. Let me log
53:50out of this.
53:53We hit profit target on two.
53:56Let me log out of this one, too.
53:59I don't know how to do it.
54:02So even if we blow this account,
54:06it's still a good day.
54:26I'm waiting.
54:28Tivaris, I'm waiting for the opportunity
54:31to full port.
54:34We got one bullet in the chamber. It's
54:36one in the chamber right now.
54:39We're going to fire off two minis.
54:43100 tick stop at the right time.
54:47Just going to wait
54:48for a second.
54:51We may or may not. It's kind of a coin
54:53toss at this point
54:56if we're going to
54:59we're going to blow the account or not.
55:02It's leaning a little bit more towards
55:04we're probably going to blow the account
55:06because
55:08we made a pretty strong move
55:10down this morning already, so there is a
55:13chance that we start to
55:19lose some of that momentum and uh
55:29Now, we'll see.
55:31We'll wait. We'll see what happens.
55:43Yeah, he's lurking.
55:47Well, on an eval, I usually either risk
55:50the entire account
55:54or a thousand bucks, so I have two
55:56trades.
55:59I don't recommend anyone does that, but
56:04I'm full porting evals with profits on
56:06the month, so
56:09it's kind of different.
56:22Cuz basically at this point I can full
56:24port evals all I want.
56:28And there's no way I mean, well, there's
56:29only two days left this month anyways,
56:31but there's no way
56:34I would even get close to break even on
56:36the month. There's like there's not
56:37there's not a chance.
56:42Unless we started buying like [ __ ] 20
56:45straight to funded accounts, then then
56:46maybe, but
56:50that would be a rough two days, yeah.
56:55That'd be a pretty rough I would have to
56:57probably blow like 70
57:0170 accounts.
57:06Dude, that's why prop firms are so lit,
57:07dude. They got that convex payoff where
57:14it's it's like asymmetric for
57:19uh
57:20it's like asymmetric for like money in
57:22money out, so like
57:24it starts to just become exponential
57:28once you pull payouts.
57:48Yeah, you have those guys who like go on
57:49Apex and like they blow, you know, a
57:52thousand accounts, but
57:56I mean, think about it.
57:58You take one max payout with Tops uh
58:01with Apex, you're like
58:03what? 2 * 20 40k?
58:08How many how many blown accounts would
58:10that 40k really cover? You know what I
58:12mean?
58:15And the activation fees, a lot.
58:22Or you can just like have 20 accounts,
58:24pull 40k payout, and then
58:27blow
58:29a thousand [ __ ] $30 evals.
58:34A thousand. And you'd still be up like
58:36what? 10 grand on the month?
58:40That just tells you how crazy that is.
58:45Oh, 2k?
58:52Mhm.
59:07I don't know, we're kind of slowing down
59:08a little bit. I'm starting to get
59:09nervous I'm not going to have an
59:11opportunity to full port this.
59:15I'm going to just full port it anyways,
59:16but
59:20at least a good opportunity.
59:35>> Pre-market rituals? Yeah, I do have
59:38pre-market rituals.
59:40Every morning it it's the same.
59:43I wake up.
59:48I put snooze on my alarm for maybe three
59:50times and then I finally wake up.
59:53And then
59:54I get out of bed.
59:57I pray.
59:59I go make a coffee.
1:00:02I take my my pre-market shits.
1:00:05I throw in a Zen.
1:00:08And then uh I drink my coffee and then
1:00:11look at the charts.
1:00:12It's literally how every morning uh
1:00:16Every morning that's how every morning
1:00:17goes for me.
1:00:22The breakfast of champions, some
1:00:24nicotine and coffee. That's all we have.
1:00:33But you can't forget the pre-market
1:00:35shits. You got to get it out before
1:00:37before market open. You can't be in the
1:00:40middle of a trade clenching cheeks.
1:01:08So I don't think I'm going to trade the
1:01:10live account today because the move of
1:01:12the morning kind of already happened.
1:01:14In my opinion.
1:01:21Before I get a payout, where does the
1:01:22money come from to buy a challenge?
1:01:25My bank account. What do you mean?
1:01:33Well Well, I mean here, first of all
1:01:37if you don't have a payout
1:01:41you got to be careful about full porting
1:01:43evals.
1:01:47But if you
1:01:49if you actually treated this like a
1:01:51business, then you would know your
1:01:53typical pass rate and you would know
1:01:55essentially cost per payout.
1:01:59On average.
1:02:03Like if you could just if you could pull
1:02:05payouts
1:02:06and you're treating this like a
1:02:07business, which you should be because
1:02:09you're self employed 1099 contractor for
1:02:13these companies.
1:02:16Um
1:02:18you would know how much money it
1:02:19typically cost you to take a payout.
1:02:24And then how big your typical payout is.
1:02:29And then you just do the math.
1:02:32But usually how you would do it is like
1:02:37you would just be careful in the
1:02:39beginning. You want to You want to
1:02:41always try and like go into the next
1:02:43month with a with a full
1:02:46with an account that's payable with like
1:02:48a healthy drawdown.
1:02:50And then you don't buy any evals. You
1:02:51just focus on getting a payout. You're
1:02:54instantly net positive for the month.
1:02:57And then you just take the profits and
1:02:59you just manage your bankroll and you
1:03:00just keep full porting evals and then
1:03:02keep pulling payouts and then you just
1:03:03never go net negative. And if you ever
1:03:05hit break even, just like chill.
1:03:09This month I blew a bunch of accounts,
1:03:10so I started the month off with no
1:03:12funded accounts after I blew like I
1:03:15fumbled like a $8,000 payout. I blew
1:03:18like eight funded accounts. I started
1:03:20tilting with Apex for like five days.
1:03:23I blew like 10 or 20 of their accounts.
1:03:28And then um
1:03:32I just snapped out of it and stopped
1:03:33being a loser and I just made my money
1:03:34back and then now I'm in profit for the
1:03:36month.
1:03:41So the streak continues of being net
1:03:42positive with firms. That's really all
1:03:44that matters
1:03:45at the end of the day.
1:03:47Now this month is not like this month
1:03:49after I take the payout today, I'll have
1:03:51like 10.8k
1:03:54in payouts
1:03:56for the month, but I spent like 25 or
1:03:58actually after today, I think I just
1:04:00spent like 250 this morning on evals.
1:04:03So I'll have uh
1:04:06it'll only be like 7,500 or like 8,000
1:04:11basically
1:04:13net positive before taxes, which is
1:04:18It's not the most amazing thing ever,
1:04:20but you know what? We started the month
1:04:21off pretty bad, you know? We We were
1:04:24able to come back from that.
1:04:28And you got to think like
1:04:30spent like $2,500 on fees. You know how
1:04:32many blown accounts? A lot of those were
1:04:34$30 Apex accounts and $55 Fidus
1:04:37accounts. So
1:04:40not a lot of them, but
1:04:42a handful a handful of them were.
1:04:47So I I don't know. I probably blew like
1:04:4840 I'd say maybe 30 to 40 accounts this
1:04:51month.
1:04:53But we're still net positive like 8
1:04:55grand.
1:04:59We would have been up more
1:05:03if uh
1:05:05>> [laughter]
1:05:06>> Right, me too. I
1:05:08gave them I gave them like I don't know,
1:05:09800 bucks this month. Didn't pull a
1:05:12single payout with Apex. It was kind of
1:05:14bad.
1:05:15Think I'm going to chill on the Apex
1:05:17thing.
1:05:20I would hate to like get denied. That
1:05:22would just it would just piss me off,
1:05:25dude. Honestly.
1:05:27It would It would probably cause me to
1:05:29tilt.
1:05:30If I spent all this time, all these
1:05:32accounts, got them up in balance
1:05:35try to pull a payout and then they
1:05:36pulled some [ __ ] it would it would
1:05:38piss me off, dude.
1:05:40It worry It it makes me worried.
1:05:44Trading Apex.
1:06:08Maybe I should just full port gold, bro.
1:06:13Mm.
1:06:19Mm. Should we go to gold?
1:06:27I need to make
1:06:282,500 bucks.
1:06:40No, let's stick with let's stick with
1:06:41NQ. I'm going to try and
1:06:45I'm going to try and just full port NQ.
1:06:49I'm going to wait for this 5 minutes to
1:06:51close.
1:06:57And then we're going to full port it.
1:07:00I'm going to go Well, you know what I'm
1:07:01actually going to do is I'm going to go
1:07:02two minis first.
1:07:09We'll try and hit 100 ticks.
1:07:13We'll try and like get a little bit more
1:07:15drawdown.
1:07:29And then we'll
1:07:33How many How many contracts does Lucius
1:07:35allow you to use four?
1:07:38It allow four contracts?
1:07:44So we need like
1:07:47Okay.
1:07:49We need like a little over
1:07:52Well Well, I I can't go four contracts
1:07:54with a $1,000 of drawdown. That's just
1:07:56asking to blow the account.
1:08:05So we'll start with two. We'll give
1:08:06ourselves 25 points
1:08:09to work with.
1:08:33But I think we need to wait cuz
1:08:39Mm. Should we just go short?
1:08:43I'm just going to go short.
1:08:48So this is where we blow our account
1:08:50right here.
1:08:53We're going to hope it Where would Where
1:08:55would we go back to break even on the
1:08:56day?
1:08:58Uh like right there?
1:09:03All right.
1:09:05Yeah, that's fine.
1:09:07I don't want to sit here all day.
1:09:09I'll be okay with being two for two for
1:09:12three on the day.
1:09:21You know what? We don't even need this.
1:09:24We don't need a stop.
1:09:26The account is the stop
1:09:28the drawdown.
1:09:40But yeah, after this trade um
1:09:43if it stops me out I'm just going to
1:09:47stop. I have some stuff I need to do.
1:09:49We're going to pull the payout
1:09:51later today
1:09:54for um
1:09:57Oh yeah, we're about to get cooked.
1:09:59We'll pull the payout later today for
1:10:054,700 and then
1:10:07we'll just go about business tomorrow.
1:10:10All right, we're out of that.
1:10:13All right, so recap recap.
1:10:16We blew one account.
1:10:19We hit profit target on one.
1:10:21We hit profit target on this one.
1:10:25And then from last night, I'm up 600, so
1:10:28we're going to pull a
1:10:30payout.
1:10:33And then I think I think uh
1:10:36I think tomorrow I'll probably full port
1:10:38some more Evos.
1:10:41Well, I'm definitely going to full port
1:10:42these two, try and pass one of them.
1:10:45But I think I'm going to buy some more.
1:10:47And try and full port those as well.
1:10:52All right, but I'm done. I'm done for
1:10:54the day, so
1:10:55I'll catch you guys later.
1:10:59Peace.
