- 0:10Dude, we had a pretty good overnight
- 0:12session.
- 0:14Clean price action.
- 0:41What up? What up?
- 0:46So, I'll mention what I'm looking at
- 0:49here in a moment, but
- 0:56we'll wait for some people to get in
- 0:58here so I can minimize the uh what are
- 1:00we looking at today questions.
- 1:14What up YouTube chat?
- 1:29Asia went pretty well.
- 1:31Um,
- 1:34I went down a little bit on a Lucid
- 1:36Eval.
- 1:38I'm up,50
- 1:40on this Lucid Funded account.
- 1:44And then I have this other Lucid I
- 1:46didn't trade.
- 1:48And then I made 900 or 850 on I'm trying
- 1:53to get those My Funded Future rapid EOD
- 1:55accounts. So I b I bought like
- 1:59two of them. One of them I haven't
- 2:00traded yet. The other one it's at like a
- 2:03$16 or $1,700
- 2:06um
- 2:07it's like a $1,700 balance right now. So
- 2:10I need like
- 2:12two more days of it. But Asia session
- 2:14was pretty good. Basically during Asia
- 2:18I was watching kind of around um I had
- 2:23some level that was sitting around here
- 2:25where I was looking for potentially
- 2:26longs at first. But if we were to get
- 2:30past this, I would flip my bias and look
- 2:32for the gap fill.
- 2:34So, at first I took a long somewhere in
- 2:36here. And then once it turned around and
- 2:38we started really pushing below the
- 2:42level I was looking at. I flipped my
- 2:43bias to short. I took a short and then I
- 2:46got out somewhere towards like 75% of
- 2:48the gap fill
- 2:50and then I just was done for Asia
- 2:52session. But it was a pretty nice move.
- 2:54And then London also made a pretty nice
- 2:56move. So, now we're heading into
- 2:59New York session. And what I'm watching
- 3:01for this morning is
- 3:04if we start dropping, I'm looking in
- 3:06this area to see if we're going to have
- 3:08an opportunity to long it. If we just
- 3:10start running down through this and not
- 3:13really
- 3:17seeing any type of responsive buying
- 3:18activity, then
- 3:22we're going to keep dropping. And then
- 3:23I'll be looking for us to come down
- 3:24towards 300, 280,
- 3:41but I'll probably try and see if I can
- 3:43press um if I can press on the profits
- 3:46from the fun on this funded account from
- 3:49the last night.
- 3:52But if I lose like 500 and this goes to
- 3:54only being $500 up in profit
- 3:58or $600 up in profit,
- 4:02then I'll just stop. I'll move over to a
- 4:04different account.
- 4:32And then if we Oh yeah, something to
- 4:34mention as well about this morning. If
- 4:35we start getting past 650,
- 4:38we start accepting above their building
- 4:40value,
- 4:41I think we're probably going to um if we
- 4:45get past this, we're probably just going
- 4:46to
- 4:48I'd be looking for us to come up towards
- 4:50750 up here.
- 4:54I wouldn't I'm not going to short
- 4:56anything after we get up here.
- 5:02If we can actually get up there,
- 5:18but Asia, dude, Asia has been saving me
- 5:22this month from being absolutely
- 5:26terrible. I mean, it's not still not a
- 5:28good month, but saving me from being an
- 5:30absolutely terrible month.
- 5:34But AM session, especially on stream,
- 5:37you know what's interesting is like
- 5:41even though volume dies down later on in
- 5:44the day,
- 5:46like towards
- 5:48um
- 5:50lunch hours,
- 5:56it's still we see like cleaner
- 5:58directional moves. So the only thing is
- 6:01like here I am streaming at market open.
- 6:10But the the stream losing streak because
- 6:14that's really what it is. The stream
- 6:15losing streak.
- 6:17It's going to end. We're going to make
- 6:20it end. It's we're not going to allow
- 6:22this to continue for much longer.
- 6:25Although yesterday, I'm not going to
- 6:26lie, when I lost, when I watched price
- 6:29come up into the location that I was
- 6:31trying to take a short
- 6:33and then it just didn't look good. Like
- 6:36the entry didn't look good for me to
- 6:37take a short, we just fell out of that
- 6:39area like 170 points.
- 6:42And then I look for a continuation in a
- 6:44late stage imbalance at the bottom of
- 6:46it. I bottom ticked it. Oh man, that
- 6:50made me pissed.
- 6:54That made me pissed. And then I just
- 6:56instead of instead of tilting instead of
- 6:59tilting I just got off and gave away
- 7:01like four accounts.
- 7:07[snorts]
- 7:25Yeah, I tilted on the giveaways.
- 7:27I was only supposed to give away one
- 7:29account. I was just like, we're giving
- 7:30away four.
- 7:33Yeah, I kind of ran through some
- 7:35accounts, like giving away some
- 7:37accounts. But we'll give away we'll give
- 7:40away an account today.
- 7:57Bro, stream in Asia, too. Honestly, like
- 8:08here's the reason why I don't want to
- 8:09stream Asia.
- 8:12Because then I feel obligated to trade
- 8:14Asia. I don't always trade Asia, you
- 8:16know what I mean? Like sometimes I trade
- 8:18Asia, sometimes I don't. But then if we
- 8:21start this whole thing of I'm streaming
- 8:22Asia, well now I got to be there.
- 8:26I don't want I don't want to do that.
- 8:27And also sometimes when I'm streaming
- 8:29Asia or when I'm trading Asia,
- 8:32I'll enter a trade and I'll go do
- 8:33something else because it's slow some
- 8:37sometimes. So I don't want to
- 8:40at least for now. Maybe in the future
- 8:43maybe I will. Maybe, you know, who
- 8:45knows? But
- 8:51streaming is chill, but it's also not
- 8:53chill because then I'm kind of obligated
- 8:54to sit here.
- 9:19Yeah, maybe I'll do it for Maybe I'll do
- 9:21it every once in a while for Discord
- 9:25and I won't do it on YouTube. Sorry,
- 9:27YouTube.
- 9:31But Discord's free. So, if you want to
- 9:32join the Discord,
- 9:35you're more than welcome to.
- 9:45What's my opinion about Deep Charts? I
- 9:47think Deep Charts is great.
- 9:51I'm using it right now.
- 9:54Code Thrax at MFFF. Unfortunately, my
- 9:58Funded Futures said I wasn't cool enough
- 10:00for an affiliate code.
- 10:03So, you guys can just use whatever code
- 10:11Although I did apply for that a long
- 10:13time ago.
- 10:22The plan for today is posted in the
- 10:25Discord, the free Discord,
- 10:28if you'd like to watch it, you'd like to
- 10:31see it.
- 10:44Oh yeah, I got to pin this
- 10:48in the message. There we go.
- 11:14>> [laughter]
- 11:30>> Good morning, YouTube chat. Yo, there's
- 11:32always somebody who comes in here and
- 11:34says, "No audio. I can't hear you. And
- 11:35then you guys are like tripping me out,
- 11:37making me think that making me think
- 11:39that my mic isn't working or something.
- 11:43But I think it's just them.
- 11:59So, if we if we start pushing down off
- 12:01the open right here in about two
- 12:02minutes, what I'm going to be watching
- 12:04for is is what's going to happen in
- 12:06here.
- 12:08Because if we're going to turn around
- 12:09and start making our way up towards the
- 12:11600s again, it it should happen in here.
- 12:13If it doesn't happen in here, then we're
- 12:15probably going to drop down towards 300
- 12:18towards 280.
- 12:20[snorts]
- 12:26So, if we start basically if we start
- 12:28accepting
- 12:30and building value below the 440 area,
- 12:35that's when I'm going to start changing
- 12:37my mind in terms of not really looking
- 12:40at longs anymore.
- 12:43At least not to come back up here.
- 12:55Did I already trade today? I traded Asia
- 12:57session.
- 13:03Asia session at this point
- 13:05is my savior.
- 13:10The AM session during New York is
- 13:15bullying me.
- 13:25Actually, I have a confession to make. I
- 13:29have a confession to make. I lost $300
- 13:33on stream on my funded account and then
- 13:36like two hours later during the day I
- 13:38saw a setup and I made it all back plus
- 13:40300. So, I made like 600 bucks.
- 13:44I took a I took a secret trade off
- 13:46stream.
- 13:51Sometimes recently it's just been
- 13:53looking better sometimes later on in the
- 13:56day.
- 14:01All right, let's see what we do.
- 14:39So, we came into this area. I was
- 14:40looking for this just happened
- 14:42relatively quickly because the open,
- 14:46[snorts]
- 14:48but if we're going to pump up, the
- 14:49target's going to be up here towards uh
- 14:51650.
- 15:43Oh, that's pretty nasty.
- 15:56That does not look good for longs.
- 16:03But again, we're watching in this area.
- 16:57All right. So, we're approaching
- 16:59discount.
- 17:26Hey,
- 17:53You are
- 18:04up.
- 18:40All right. So, right around here, right
- 18:43around 440, 450
- 18:46is where I'm watching for us. Kind of
- 18:48like last area for us to potentially
- 18:51turn around. If we start just slamming
- 18:52through this, then the longs are going
- 18:55to be kind of off the table.
- 19:42I'm actually I'm going to try five
- 19:44micros on a long right here on the
- 19:46funded account and we're going to risk
- 19:47some of our profits on the day.
- 19:50But I have to be careful when we get
- 19:53back towards um
- 19:56500.
- 19:58If we start pushing it back up into 500,
- 20:05I'm going to I'm willing to So I'm up
- 20:07from the Asia session. I'm willing to
- 20:10risk like $500 of my profit. Five to 600
- 20:14bucks.
- 20:18So, if this account goes back to being
- 20:20only up like500 or $600 on the day, then
- 20:23I'll move over to a different account.
- 22:28This looks like it's
- 22:32Every time it's pushing up, we're just
- 22:35getting eaten up.
- 24:02Once we pop up towards 500 here. Okay,
- 24:04I'm going to have to move it to break
- 24:05even. We're going to see if we can run
- 24:07it back up towards the uh
- 24:11we got to get past um this area here.
- 24:30I'm actually going to trail stop a
- 24:32little bit. Once we start pushing past
- 24:34this, if we can get past where we
- 24:37started dumping kind of kind of hard,
- 24:40I'll probably trail [clears throat]
- 24:41right below it.
- 24:48But I want to see if I can I'm trying to
- 24:51give it a little bit of room though
- 24:52because I would like it to come back up
- 24:54towards 600.
- 25:20Okay, very nice.
- 25:24I'm going to lock in a 1R
- 25:27and we'll see if we can continue. I'll
- 25:29probably just uh leave the stop here.
- 25:47If we can get the 15minute to flip
- 25:50bullish, it would be pretty nice. Come
- 25:52back up here. But
- 25:56all right, it took me out for a one
- 25:58hour.
- 26:03I'm going to wait a little bit.
- 26:15But solid solid area.
- 26:18Again, if we if we end up losing this
- 26:20though, like
- 26:24like we're going to we're going to go
- 26:28probably towards the 300 280 area.
- 26:35So this is this kind of what I was
- 26:38mentioning pre-market. This is the most
- 26:40important area for
- 26:42us to hold this and continue up towards
- 26:44600.
- 26:52What's my daily facial routine?
- 26:56Soap and water. Soap and water.
- 27:19Interesting. Not a call adjusted on
- 27:21Tanuki to being right here at the 440
- 27:23area. Although we start having we start
- 27:26clustering positive gamma up here.
- 27:56What is the intraday chart bar period
- 27:58setting you had on your footprint chart?
- 28:00Intraday chart bar setting.
- 28:05Oh, what's that?
- 28:08Intraday chart bar period setting.
- 28:35Oh, I don't use Sierra charts.
- 28:39Yeah. Did any you guys hold that?
- 28:44I mean, honestly though, like
- 28:48I'm sure I'm sure somebody saw me take a
- 28:52long hair and they're thinking, "Here we
- 28:54go again. [laughter] He's g he's going
- 28:56to get cooked.
- 29:00Oh my goodness.
- 29:07Yeah, this is nice. Again, the where
- 29:09where this where the full target was if
- 29:12we were to look for longs down here in
- 29:14discount is um up here towards the the
- 29:17650 area. In the event that we start
- 29:20really pushing up above 650,
- 29:23we could probably just open the door to
- 29:25like a grind to 750.
- 29:28And I wouldn't short anything above
- 29:30here, honestly.
- 29:34[clears throat]
- 29:51But finally, right? Finally.
- 29:54Even though that was just a one R and I
- 29:56got taken out of it, I'm okay with that.
- 30:01[snorts]
- 30:16Paul, you caught that.
- 30:19There we go.
- 30:46I would like to see us. I'm
- 30:55um
- 31:00after this, the only thing I kind of
- 31:03want to see at this point is um
- 31:07I want to see us get above 600, get
- 31:09above 650.
- 31:13And then I would potentially
- 31:16[clears throat] for the upside scenario,
- 31:18I don't really want to long it in here
- 31:20anymore.
- 31:22Oo, that's nasty.
- 31:30Whoever was holding that at break even,
- 31:36I'm sorry,
- 31:41but again, so we're kind of in this
- 31:43area, just so you guys know.
- 31:46Below here, lower, above here, higher in
- 31:51here. Fade the extreme. I would not fade
- 31:54this
- 31:56if I were you,
- 31:59but you can do what you want. Not
- 32:01financial advice.
- 32:24Do I trade gold? I did for a while. I
- 32:26haven't traded it in a few months.
- 32:36Total P&L throughout 2027.
- 32:39Yeah, I mean I'm doing it for 2026 for
- 32:41the prop firms.
- 32:57Man, that was pretty gross.
- 33:26Have I considered using a trading bot?
- 33:28You know, actually I um
- 33:32I used Claude code to make some trading
- 33:34bot one time when top steps API came out
- 33:38and then I actually it actually passed a
- 33:40few evals which is cool. And then I and
- 33:42then I went on TopStep TV
- 33:46and uh
- 33:48and they had me come on during Chop and
- 33:51they were like, "Let's see how your bot
- 33:53works."
- 33:54Oh my gosh. I got roasted by chat, dude.
- 33:57There's like 5,000 people in there. I
- 33:59got roasted by the chat.
- 34:12pick up. Same trade again. No, I'm not
- 34:14going to long it here.
- 34:18If anything, I'm actually watching to
- 34:20see if this is going to
- 34:23start pushing below 440.
- 34:27If it comes all the way back up, it's
- 34:29that's a nasty whiplash at the open.
- 34:33But 440 is a pretty pretty decent level,
- 34:35though.
- 34:40But if we lose it,
- 34:45300 here we come.
- 34:59Sheesh.
- 35:21Nvidia [snorts] earnings got the market
- 35:23scrambling.
- 35:30Yeah, this is pretty gross.
- 35:34When I trade gold, do I use a footprint
- 35:36chart? Yes, I do. Yes, I do, sir.
- 36:21Do I live daily? Yeah, I'm here every
- 36:23day.
- 36:26I'm here every day. Although, I'm
- 36:27probably going to take a break in
- 36:28December. I'm going on a trip. So,
- 36:31you're on your own.
- 36:54What's the name of the music playing in
- 36:56the background? It's some 10-hour
- 37:00some 10hour
- 37:02Homer Simpson Loi thing.
- 37:13Although I'm sick of it.
- 37:17So I have
- 37:19an AirPod in listening to listening to
- 37:23real music.
- 37:24Unfortunately, because I stream on
- 37:26YouTube, I can't really listen to music
- 37:27I actually listen to. Otherwise, they're
- 37:29going to give my channel a strike. So, I
- 37:33got to play some random BS.
- 37:38I'm glad you like it, though.
- 37:45It's basically like the same six songs
- 37:49on on on
- 37:51loop on the YouTube and I've been
- 37:54listening to it now for what nine months
- 37:57straight because I started streaming in
- 37:59January.
- 38:01Sick of it.
- 38:06That JVA take the strike.
- 38:09Yeah. AI music. If you guys want to if
- 38:12you guys want to make some AI music, we
- 38:14can make a little we can make a little
- 38:16uh playlist
- 38:17of user created AI music and we'll just
- 38:20play it
- 38:23and then that way
- 38:27we'll be good.
- 38:30Yeah. Like proper match green.
- 40:02All right. Well, let's see if uh we keep
- 40:06continue to do this
- 40:14or if we eventually break out of here.
- 40:45trade on Roblox.
- 40:49No way.
- 40:54[laughter]
- 41:18All right, we're going to start pushing
- 41:19through this now and start making our
- 41:20way towards 300. We will see.
- 41:43asked. You said, "Why did I trail my
- 41:45stop like that?" Because
- 41:48Hold on.
- 41:55Let me lock in.
- 43:38We have the hourly open, 4 hour open
- 43:41right now.
- 43:46Guten Morgan.
- 43:49Guten Morgan.
- 43:52What's TP and stop-loss? There is none.
- 43:55I'm not on a trade.
- 44:18Now you're good.
- 45:54What a nasty open today, huh?
- 46:43Dude, it's like we had beautiful price
- 46:45action during the overnight and then
- 46:48it's just chaos. It's just chaos right
- 46:51now.
- 48:20Yeah, moving to Asia session. I mean,
- 48:22last night Asia session was pretty good.
- 48:29Why do Why do we even waste our time
- 48:30with this at this point?
- 49:06Yeah, this is when I should be taking a
- 49:08vacation, huh? But unfortunately, I'm
- 49:10taking it in December and wa watch
- 49:12December just be like super clean price
- 49:16action [laughter]
- 49:19be it's whatever though.
- 49:26for the past like
- 49:29actually I usually take I usually chill
- 49:32during December.
- 49:35Every once in a while I'll trade, but I
- 49:36won't usually trade like every day
- 49:38because I'm usually doing stuff,
- 49:40traveling or whatever.
- 49:54Did I trade the opening? Yeah, I caught
- 49:56a little bit of uh some of the longs
- 49:58here.
- 50:00Trailed it. Got hit out around here for
- 50:03a one hour. Am
- 50:14I getting out of a cold or something?
- 50:15No.
- 50:24Voice is bad. Damn, bro.
- 50:27All right,
- 50:29I guess.
- 50:37Slightly random. How do I What What does
- 50:41a good voice sound like?
- 50:48Oh, sound is bad.
- 50:54I
- 50:56don't know. You know what? I don't
- 50:57really tr I don't really trust people in
- 50:58the chat when they say sound is bad
- 51:00anymore because
- 51:05every time I believe you guys it's fine.
- 51:09Unless there's like 30 people just
- 51:11going, "I can't hear you. I can't hear
- 51:13you." And then I start getting text
- 51:14messages, then I know that there's a
- 51:17problem.
- 51:18But if there's like if there's like one
- 51:20person who's like, "Hey, your sound is
- 51:22bad."
- 51:24That might be a you thing.
- 51:30>> [laughter]
- 51:35>> Concentrate on the charts. Well,
- 51:39yeah. I mean, I'm still looking at the
- 51:40same things. I'm just waiting. We're in
- 51:42the middle of this area. Barcoding on a
- 51:44fivem minute.
- 51:46440 is holding.
- 55:07What am I looking at right now? I'm
- 55:09seeing if we're actually if we're going
- 55:10to be successful in pushing this up
- 55:12towards 650. If we're going to continue
- 55:14chopping
- 56:00Uh, I'll play a range, but I usually
- 56:02don't play a range like this. Even
- 56:05though this is actually a pretty um it's
- 56:07a decently it's a decently large enough
- 56:10range where if you drop down to like
- 56:11let's say if you're trading on like a 40
- 56:13range chart or even a one minute
- 56:16actually you could play the range.
- 56:28What qualities are beneficial to being a
- 56:30great trader?
- 56:33reading skills. Um, not really, bro.
- 56:41I would say the most important thing
- 56:42about uh being a good trader is
- 56:45self-control.
- 56:53It's probably the most important thing
- 56:54that you can have.
- 57:21uh trading markets. I have both
- 57:30I just
- 57:32full transparency,
- 57:34I changed what I'm showing on my chart.
- 57:37This is looking more promising
- 57:43because
- 57:45I partnered with Deep Charts.
- 57:52And what's cool about Deep Charts and
- 57:55working with them is that
- 58:01I can work with their team and I can
- 58:04suggest improvements to the dev team,
- 58:08which is really cool.
- 58:12So, I I have some things in the queue
- 58:16hopefully.
- 58:28Yeah, I was I'm kind of mumbling. My
- 58:30bad. I'm watching to I'm slightly
- 58:32distracted right now, obviously, because
- 58:34I'm
- 58:36watching to see if we're going to lift
- 58:38up out of here
- 58:41or if we're just going to fail again.
- 58:49Nutella just passed the account. Let's
- 58:51go. One day pass.
- 58:56He wins a free IQ Capital account and
- 58:59then passes it the very next day. What a
- 59:03guy.
- 59:12Yeah, those are c those those IQ Capital
- 59:14accounts are pretty cool. I got um that
- 59:17100K account I have. I got it and then I
- 59:20pyramided into a position
- 59:23to make the 6,000 profit in one trade
- 59:26and then it just passed it which is
- 59:28cool. One day pass.
- 59:35I like IQ Capital. Actually, I'm going
- 59:38to talk to them later. Um, we can do a
- 59:41They said I can host my own trading
- 59:43competition if you guys want to do that.
- 59:44There will be prizes.
- 59:48I don't know what the prizes will be.
- 59:49Maybe cash prizes,
- 59:53maybe uh free account prizes. I don't
- 59:55know. It'll be It'll be better than
- 59:58whatever I'm giving away every day.
- 1:01:18New York. New York.
- 1:01:40Would
- 1:01:45be nice to win an IQ Capital
- 1:01:48coupon code on past EV out accounts to
- 1:01:51activate. So
- 1:01:55you can never please the people, huh?
- 1:01:57You give them free stuff and they want
- 1:01:58more free stuff. How about I just give
- 1:02:00you guys my bank account? How about
- 1:02:02that? Want my social security? How about
- 1:02:04I just give you the clothes off off my
- 1:02:06back
- 1:02:08and then you'll still ask for more? We
- 1:02:11still need more. It's never enough.
- 1:02:29Dude, it's really not a lot. A spook
- 1:02:31soule. It's really not a lot. And you
- 1:02:34know what? You can win a free account if
- 1:02:36you join the Discord.
- 1:02:38The free Discord.
- 1:02:42It's really not a lot at all. And what's
- 1:02:45cool about IQ Capital that I haven't
- 1:02:47seen any other firm do is they give you
- 1:02:49a one to one on profit target to draw
- 1:02:52down on their core accounts.
- 1:03:00$1,000 for everyone in the chat. So, how
- 1:03:03how many people is that? That's uh 162
- 1:03:06plus 2 37.
- 1:03:08400 people. Sure. I'll just give out
- 1:03:12$400,000 of money that I do not have. I
- 1:03:15wish. How about How about this? How
- 1:03:17about everyone in the chat gives me
- 1:03:18$1,000?
- 1:03:20That'd be awesome.
- 1:03:23Then I'll go take a vacation.
- 1:03:34No, I'm just joking. But dude, it's
- 1:03:35cool. It's cool that IQ Capital at least
- 1:03:38gives us free accounts, right?
- 1:03:41How generous of them. They don't have to
- 1:03:43do that.
- 1:03:48Same with the other prop firms. Shout
- 1:03:50out FFN
- 1:03:53and even GoFund Futures. We have some
- 1:03:55accounts we can give away from GoFund
- 1:03:56Futures.
- 1:04:18Can I partner with Lucid? That'd be
- 1:04:20cool.
- 1:04:35Bro,
- 1:04:43nothing is free.
- 1:04:47Wait. Come on, guys.
- 1:04:52You know, you know what? If we just pull
- 1:04:53payouts, then it does not matter. It
- 1:04:57doesn't matter.
- 1:05:03$100 account versus $150 account. I
- 1:05:08mean,
- 1:05:19can I move the market up? Yeah. Let me
- 1:05:21make a call.
- 1:05:23Let me make a call so we can push this
- 1:05:25out of here.
- 1:05:31Yeah.
- 1:05:33Yeah, it's me. Thrax trades.
- 1:05:36The chat says to push the market up. Get
- 1:05:38it out of this chop.
- 1:05:42Okay, I'll let them know. They said they
- 1:05:45don't care about what you guys want.
- 1:05:46Honestly, that's what the That's what I
- 1:05:48just was told on the phone call. I
- 1:05:51tried, but they said we don't care.
- 1:05:58I guess I'm not I'm not cool like that
- 1:05:59with them yet. We'll get there
- 1:06:01[clears throat] though.
- 1:06:24executing a 10,000 lot order.
- 1:06:31Oh yeah, I saw that video where he went
- 1:06:32to the the guy went to the NASDAQ office
- 1:06:35and told him to sweep London high.
- 1:06:42[laughter]
- 1:06:50Hey, do me a favor. Sweet London eyes.
- 1:07:11What's the plan for the next trade?
- 1:07:12Well, what I would like to see at this
- 1:07:14point is well, there's two things. First
- 1:07:17of all, we're in a we're in this area
- 1:07:19where I don't really want to touch it.
- 1:07:21If
- 1:07:25we push up into 650,
- 1:07:29I'm going this is an area where I it's
- 1:07:32like a decision area where I'm going to
- 1:07:33start paying attention. If we start
- 1:07:35getting above it, we can probably see us
- 1:07:37continue up to 750. Or if we punch into
- 1:07:41this,
- 1:07:43we could see a potential mean reversion
- 1:07:45back into here.
- 1:07:47So, I'm just going to be watching it up
- 1:07:49here.
- 1:07:52And then on the flip side of things, for
- 1:07:54whatever reason, if we just come all the
- 1:07:57way back,
- 1:07:59I'm still watching 440.
- 1:08:02If we get below it and we accept below
- 1:08:05it, then I'll be looking for a
- 1:08:08continuation short, but I would prefer,
- 1:08:11this is more preferred for me this
- 1:08:14morning.
- 1:08:15See what happens up here.
- 1:08:30Connection lost.
- 1:08:32The stream went down.
- 1:08:34It's back.
- 1:08:39They got me. They're trying to nerf me.
- 1:08:44The stream is bearish.
- 1:08:46Is the YouTube stream still up?
- 1:08:49Hopefully
- 1:09:10[laughter]
- 1:09:53What do I think about ICT?
- 1:09:56That's my goat.
- 1:09:59I'm his biggest fan.
- 1:10:04actually have a shrine of Michael J.
- 1:10:07Huddleston. You guys can't see it. It's
- 1:10:10over there.
- 1:10:12I um
- 1:10:16it's part of my morning routine.
- 1:10:20I printed out a bunch of pictures of
- 1:10:22him. There's some candles over there.
- 1:10:26That's my goat, dude. He didn't. Don't
- 1:10:28you guys know he coded the algorithm
- 1:10:30that the market runs on the singular
- 1:10:32algorithm?
- 1:10:35If you don't know that, then what are
- 1:10:37you doing?
- 1:11:00Let's see. Let's see what was going on
- 1:11:01on the lower time frame.
- 1:11:04Man, the IFVG boys are having a field
- 1:11:07day today, huh?
- 1:11:11One minute inverse. One minute inverse.
- 1:11:13All right, let's see if we can actually
- 1:11:15push this.
- 1:11:17Yes. Break out of here. Please
- 1:11:21push your way up into 650.
- 1:11:50So, let's see if we can hold above 600.
- 1:11:54And if we can hold above 600,
- 1:12:00let's see us push to 650. And then let's
- 1:12:02see what happens up here.
- 1:12:09A lag of 8 to 10 seconds. Is that
- 1:12:11normal? Yes, that is.
- 1:12:14Oh, Sam's Club is done. Sam's Club's
- 1:12:16done for the day. I think it's time to
- 1:12:18wrap it up. We only do this for him.
- 1:12:35Stanley, I hope you're trolling,
- 1:12:37brother.
- 1:12:41I hope that's sarcasm
- 1:12:43because there's people who actually
- 1:12:44believe that
- 1:12:51that he coded the algorithm.
- 1:12:54Impressive. He's an impressive guy. You
- 1:12:57know what?
- 1:13:03You got to give him his flowers, dude.
- 1:13:08He might be
- 1:13:14like what he what he did with the
- 1:13:16trading space is impressive, dude.
- 1:13:22As much as people are as m as polarizing
- 1:13:25as he is, look at us. We're sitting here
- 1:13:28talking about him,
- 1:13:30we're we're falling for it.
- 1:13:38As much as much as it's funny and like
- 1:13:41it's a topic to, you know, laugh about
- 1:13:43and talk about, honestly,
- 1:13:46you guys you guys got to respect the
- 1:13:49hustle, dude. It's It's impressive.
- 1:14:08Oh, stop, Paul. You're making me blush.
- 1:14:31Yo, should we still trade this? I think
- 1:14:33um I think now that we're coming back
- 1:14:35down into here,
- 1:14:54New York.
- 1:15:01Sometimes I reminisce.
- 1:15:04This month has got me reminiscing on the
- 1:15:06good the good times
- 1:15:09when NQ would pick a direction and go.
- 1:15:14No, but today was kind of expected for
- 1:15:16us to do this honestly.
- 1:15:23Can [clears throat] I show you the trade
- 1:15:24I took today? Yes.
- 1:15:27pre-market
- 1:15:31we were here.
- 1:15:35I said I'm looking for longs in here.
- 1:15:40Whoops. We come down into here.
- 1:15:43This candle is the reason why I went
- 1:15:45long.
- 1:15:48Let me show you.
- 1:15:52So, we're pushing down into location. We
- 1:15:55see some buying activity stepping in. It
- 1:15:57really didn't do anything.
- 1:16:00And then we start seeing this candle.
- 1:16:02This is why I went long here. This
- 1:16:03candle,
- 1:16:05we see us have the PC at the bottom. We
- 1:16:09flip bullish. You have sellers at the
- 1:16:11very bottom of it.
- 1:16:13Once it flips bullish and we start
- 1:16:16pushing up here, I entered long. Stop
- 1:16:18right below. Failed selling.
- 1:16:23Then we sat through this chop. It looked
- 1:16:25like it was actually for a moment about
- 1:16:27to just run it down. Um cuz the 640 area
- 1:16:31which was
- 1:16:33right here
- 1:16:35is what I was looking at.
- 1:16:38And then as we started pushing up, I
- 1:16:40started trailing stop aggressively
- 1:16:41because
- 1:16:43we're in a positive gamma environment.
- 1:16:46And I was thinking that
- 1:16:48there is a chance that we could just
- 1:16:51start messing around and compressing.
- 1:16:55And I was already up. I was up um $1,100
- 1:16:59from an Asia session trade.
- 1:17:03When we started pushing up here, I think
- 1:17:05it was it got to the point where we were
- 1:17:06about what maybe 50 points in profit.
- 1:17:11We were trying to see it come back up
- 1:17:13towards the open highs, which is my bad,
- 1:17:17which is essentially what we did here,
- 1:17:18but it took me out for a one hour.
- 1:17:22So, we added another 350 to the balance
- 1:17:26and then now we've just been waiting.
- 1:17:36Can I do a video on my deep charge setup
- 1:17:38workspace layout, including the
- 1:17:40settings? Absolutely. It's in the queue.
- 1:17:45Absolutely.
- 1:18:00Uh I have the deep charts. I have the
- 1:18:03most expensive one, the advanced one.
- 1:18:15I think that's I think that's what it's
- 1:18:17called. Advanced.
- 1:18:32Whichever one's all the way to the
- 1:18:33right. I just bought the most expensive
- 1:18:35one.
- 1:18:41Building a trading bot.
- 1:18:44Everyone always wants to build a trading
- 1:18:46bot.
- 1:18:48It's pretty difficult.
- 1:18:51It's pretty difficult to do.
- 1:19:33It's not impossible. But you know what?
- 1:19:35You know what's the most difficult part
- 1:19:37about a bot? Okay, it has nothing. It's
- 1:19:41It's incredibly easy to
- 1:19:44to use whatever and like code
- 1:19:50like a gated it's like a gated
- 1:19:54sequence for criteria to fire off to
- 1:19:57enter a trade. Okay, you can do that.
- 1:20:00But what's difficult about creating a
- 1:20:02bot
- 1:20:04is
- 1:20:06regime detection
- 1:20:09and
- 1:20:11identifying chop. Okay, like let's say
- 1:20:13you have a a trend following bot. Let's
- 1:20:15just imagine this for a second. you have
- 1:20:18a trend following bot, trend following
- 1:20:19strategy. So, what's going to hurt your
- 1:20:22bot? What do you need to avoid? Well,
- 1:20:24you need to avoid chop. Okay. So, then
- 1:20:26how do we determine chop? Well, there's
- 1:20:28a few ways that you can try and have an
- 1:20:30algorithm determine chop. Maybe it's the
- 1:20:33slope of an EMA. Maybe it's the ADX,
- 1:20:36maybe it's whatever, right? But you have
- 1:20:39to
- 1:20:41I mean, and keep in mind, I'm not a
- 1:20:43quant. I'm not a um you know algorithmic
- 1:20:48trader that creates algos
- 1:20:51but it is not as easy as people think it
- 1:20:57is. Um and then when market regimes
- 1:21:00change well
- 1:21:03you have to update your bot. So, like
- 1:21:06let's say for example,
- 1:21:08you have a bot. You created it under the
- 1:21:11Biden administration. Market conditions
- 1:21:13were totally different.
- 1:21:15Well, I'm sure if you have a successful
- 1:21:19algorithm, you probably had to make some
- 1:21:23tweaks to it
- 1:21:25heading into this new um new environment
- 1:21:29that that we're currently seeing. But um
- 1:21:33please if anybody if if any of you guys
- 1:21:37go and um
- 1:21:44why not have the AI scan for regime
- 1:21:46behavior and then let it build
- 1:21:48parameters on its own. Hector, I I I
- 1:21:51encourage you to to it sounds easy in
- 1:21:55theory. Okay. I encourage you to give it
- 1:21:57a shot and see what happens.
- 1:22:02Because then what do you do? Okay. Well,
- 1:22:03then you then you look at you have your
- 1:22:06data and then you you go and you make
- 1:22:09the back test look really nice. You
- 1:22:11probably end up overfitting the out
- 1:22:12of it. And then once you go to an out of
- 1:22:14sample data test, you're like, why is
- 1:22:17this isn't why isn't this working? You
- 1:22:19know what I mean? Um, but what I was
- 1:22:22going to say is like,
- 1:22:25uh, please, if anyone says that they're
- 1:22:28going to sell you, uh, an automated
- 1:22:31trading system for like however much,
- 1:22:34even if they're going to sell to you in
- 1:22:36general, okay, please do not buy it. Do
- 1:22:40not buy it. If you're going to do it,
- 1:22:43try making it yourself. Do not buy
- 1:22:46someone's algorithm.
- 1:22:52It is a scam.
- 1:22:56Think about it like this. If I had an
- 1:22:59algorithm
- 1:23:02and
- 1:23:04it was a working algorithm,
- 1:23:08would it really and it would and it was
- 1:23:10solid, right? Would it really make a lot
- 1:23:12of sense for me to sell it to you guys
- 1:23:14for $500 a month? Absolutely not.
- 1:23:18Absolutely
- 1:23:19not.
- 1:23:35And what a lot of those people do, by
- 1:23:36the way, is if they're actually creating
- 1:23:38algos, right?
- 1:23:41um
- 1:23:43once they update it and they're updating
- 1:23:45their algos, they'll they'll sell you
- 1:23:48like the the previous versions of it
- 1:23:54that don't work anymore.
- 1:24:30How long did I use my bot for? Well, I
- 1:24:33made a bot and the purpose of it was to
- 1:24:37so basically this is what my bot was.
- 1:24:40It was based off of EMAs and it had an
- 1:24:43entry criteria to trigger a trade and it
- 1:24:48had a negative risk-to-reward
- 1:24:51EMAs and VWAP with a negative
- 1:24:54risk-to-reward
- 1:24:56and I used it to pass it passed a couple
- 1:24:59evals actually.
- 1:25:02And then I tried to run it on, "Yo,
- 1:25:04Koza, bro, I know you keep spamming this
- 1:25:06question." So, to prevent you from
- 1:25:09spamming this question and you're adding
- 1:25:11a sad face every time. First, there was
- 1:25:13one sad face. Now, there's two, now
- 1:25:15there's three. Before you go ahead and
- 1:25:17add your fourth sad face to this
- 1:25:18question,
- 1:25:22you had eight months and you still don't
- 1:25:24understand the market properly. Why?
- 1:25:28Can suggest me, sir?
- 1:25:33take some time
- 1:25:35and study what it is that this is.
- 1:25:39I mean, I I assume
- 1:25:42you probably haven't really
- 1:25:45tried to actually understand what the
- 1:25:47hell is going on. You probably just like
- 1:25:49are looking up like setups and
- 1:25:52strategies on YouTube.
- 1:26:00Now you made me lose my train of
- 1:26:01thought. If I I don't even remember what
- 1:26:03I was talking about, but if someone was
- 1:26:05interested in hearing it, boo that man.
- 1:26:07Boo that man. No, I'm just joking.
- 1:26:12Eight months I mean eight months is not
- 1:26:14a lot.
- 1:26:20What's my ROI uh with prop firms this
- 1:26:23year? It's about
- 1:26:25let me see.
- 1:26:34I have it. Let me see.
- 1:27:01uh 320%.
- 1:27:04What prop firms
- 1:27:37I don't know. I think I'm not I think
- 1:27:38I'm just going to stop on this funded
- 1:27:40account at 1467.
- 1:28:08Yeah, I know you guys are waiting for
- 1:28:10some videos. I I haven't dropped a
- 1:28:12YouTube video in two weeks. I'm sorry.
- 1:28:14being kind of busy, slightly lazy,
- 1:28:18but um
- 1:28:21I'm uh I'll make I have a bunch of
- 1:28:23videos I'm going to make.
- 1:28:30Am I a millionaire? No.
- 1:28:33Only in my head.
- 1:28:37Only in my head. When I When I fall
- 1:28:40asleep at night and I dream, I am
- 1:28:45Well, what currency are we talking? Cuz
- 1:28:47you know what? In Vietnamese dong, I'm
- 1:28:49actually a billionaire. How about that?
- 1:28:55I'm a I go to Viet the moment I step
- 1:28:58step on Vietnamese soil, I have a B in
- 1:29:01front.
- 1:29:04[laughter]
- 1:29:08You go to Vietnam, it's like 200,000
- 1:29:10dong for like like a meal.
- 1:29:27Oh, you said you passed a few evals with
- 1:29:30the trading bot. Then what happened?
- 1:29:33Well, it got pretty close to actually
- 1:29:36getting a payout
- 1:29:39and then it didn't and then market
- 1:29:41conditions changed
- 1:29:44and then I had to change it around and
- 1:29:48it was just like and I was trying to
- 1:29:50focus on my normal trading at the same
- 1:29:51time and it was a lot to focus on. It's
- 1:29:56[clears throat] realistically it's um
- 1:30:02it's better if you just focus on one or
- 1:30:04the other because it's a full-time
- 1:30:05thing. You can't just like try and make
- 1:30:07a trading bottle on the side in your
- 1:30:08free time and then expect it to do
- 1:30:10really well, right? It's a lot of Yeah,
- 1:30:11it's exactly it's a lot of maintenance.
- 1:30:13It's a lot of work. You have to monitor
- 1:30:15it. You you have to be careful about
- 1:30:19adjusting certain things. You try it in
- 1:30:21different markets. it's
- 1:30:25it's a lot. So then I kind of just gave
- 1:30:28up on it. I was like, "Yeah, that was
- 1:30:29fun. That was a cool little, you know,
- 1:30:31side experiment."
- 1:30:33But at the end of the day, I like uh
- 1:30:35trading like this. I just like trading
- 1:30:36myself.
- 1:30:55All right. How about this? I am going to
- 1:31:00I'm going to call it a day.
- 1:31:04So, I'm up 1467 on this Lucidfunded.
- 1:31:11I'm up 845 on this rapid EOD eval.
- 1:31:18Um, the other accounts I didn't trade. I
- 1:31:21didn't trade this one. I didn't trade
- 1:31:23the other one. And then from the EVO
- 1:31:26that I was trading last night, this is a
- 1:31:29Lucid EVO. This one's down 361.
- 1:31:35But the account we care about though,
- 1:31:36the funded, we're up 1467.
