0:04feel.
0:33All right, we're back for another day.
1:23All right. So, I'm currently waiting. We
1:25had a major pump before market open.
1:29Not a major pump, but we've been pumping
1:31all day. I am expecting this to come
1:32back, though.
2:10We're just going to sit here a little
2:11bit and just chill and wait for uh
2:18market open.
2:52Take a Look here on the daily.
4:10But if we are going to go lower, I am
4:12looking at this area right here.
4:15I don't really want to see it go above
4:21like 660 680 or else
4:24I don't think we're going lower. But
4:27realistically,
4:33I would like to see us retrace, not
4:35necessarily fill the gap, but just
4:37retrace back into this move from
4:40overnight at least half of it.
4:45Maybe somewhere around 52500.
4:51But I'm definitely not going to try and
4:53call the top of this right now.
5:23>> [snorts]
5:59>> Jeez, dude. What a pump on silver.
6:14It's cold looking. Like gold's pumping,
6:16too.
7:56I want to see this realistically come up
7:58a little bit more. And then
8:01I would be pretty surprised honestly if
8:03we don't at least retrace some of this
8:07um move.
8:09I'm not expecting us to fill the gap
8:12today though. I think it's likely that
8:15we do retrace somewhere into here at
8:17least like
8:19back towards the middle of London or
8:22Asia highs.
8:24But this is a pretty big
8:26pump pre-market.
8:32So, we'll see what happens. But
8:36we got about 13 minutes left
8:40until market open.
8:43Last night I did take a trade on silver.
8:45So, this is like a new funded account.
8:50We made like 800 on it.
8:53I did take a payout on this account on
8:56Friday. So, this is the balance now. So,
8:59we already we took our first payout for
9:022026.
9:04We got some funded accounts. We're
9:06trying to uh take our second payout at
9:082026, but
9:11I got to get some more winning days. And
9:14then we also have um I also have this
9:17account too where I just made like 200
9:19bucks on it last night.
9:22It's a brand new funded account with
9:25Alpha Futures.
9:28So,
9:30we are gonna try and
9:35not lose all of our money today.
9:42And also, I don't know how uh the market
9:46I'm not really expecting like a major
9:49reaction from like the news that
9:52happened over the weekend, but you never
9:54know. So,
9:59but I definitely don't want if I'm
10:01looking for price to kind of revert back
10:05and come back into this area. I don't
10:08really want price to start getting above
10:11like
10:13660 680 area.
10:21It's just uh that'd be a pretty crazy
10:23pump because right now we have
10:26all three sessions going in the same
10:28direction basically.
10:34So, we're going to wait for open and I'm
10:36going to
10:38look to see if there's an opportunity
10:40to potentially take it short at least
10:43back to
10:46pre-market lows probably.
10:52But I'm not going to force it or try and
10:56call the top of a pump.
11:11That's crazy. Silver is just ripping
11:14right now.
11:24What's the dollar doing? It's tanking.
11:48What's up?
11:53So, we're just going to wait. But I am
11:55expecting this pump to stop at some
11:57point. Well, I'm watching for it to
11:59stop. I'm not expecting it to stop, but
12:09it is a pretty strong pre-market move,
12:11though.
12:37I do need to make some profits on this
12:42account. This account's one day in,
12:46so I need to
12:49probably focus on these two accounts
12:51today.
12:59But finally the holiday season is over.
13:01That was
13:04bothering me not having full weeks. Not
13:06bothering me, but it just made it kind
13:09of weird. So, we're back to the normal
13:12schedule, which is chill.
13:22So hopefully now that it's January,
13:26price action is chill,
13:28we won't have like random days
13:30throughout the week where it's like a
13:32half day or no trading day.
13:37Unless we're going to try and uh
13:40get more funded accounts
13:46because so far this month
13:49on Friday we pulled one payout. So, and
13:53we haven't spent any money on
13:54evaluations so far because we spent the
13:58profits from
14:01December to try and build some more
14:03accounts. So, we're currently net
14:05positive on the month in January. I'm
14:07trying to just I think I'm going to try
14:10and get another payout first
14:13before I start buying more accounts
14:18and then we will try and get up to like
14:20eight eight or 10 funded accounts
14:25and then I'll probably start trading
14:27some of them pretty aggressively.
14:31But until then, we just got to focus on
14:37staying net positive in January.
14:39Realistically, it's the only goal.
14:52PMIs today.
14:54Yeah. At 10:00 a.m. Eastern.
15:00That's good to know. Almost forgot about
15:03those. Thanks for reminding me. I need
15:06to set an alarm on my phone.
15:16Yeah, happy new year. I hope you had a
15:17good break, too. But we're back to the
15:20normal schedule. So,
15:26I'm looking forward to 2026. I think I'm
15:28going to have a good year this year.
15:30Well, I don't know. in terms of price
15:32action. But in terms of my trading, I
15:35think I'm going to have a good year this
15:36year.
15:38As long as I just don't
15:41start tilting.
15:46So, we're going to try and make sure
15:47that doesn't happen.
16:03But yeah,
16:05in case you just joined,
16:08um, we are pumping up, but
16:11preferably like I would want to see us
16:14actually
16:16retrace
16:17this pump.
16:21Not the whole thing, obviously. I don't
16:23think we're going to fill the gap today,
16:25but I just
16:29Well, I definitely hope we're not going
16:30to just like pump all day because then I
16:32probably won't even take a trade.
16:37Go charting.
16:39I've never heard of it.
16:43Uh it will automatically scroll the
16:45footprint if we start like if we just
16:47start pumping right here right now or we
16:49start melting
16:51um it'll follow it.
16:55So you don't have to always move your
16:56charts around.
17:00But Bobby, let me know how you like go
17:03charting. I've never heard of that
17:04before.
17:06Probably take a look at it.
17:20Oh, web base. That's pretty cool. It's a
17:25web-based footprint chart.
17:29Are you able to use it on your phone?
17:42Did this candle this hourly candle open
17:44without a wick?
17:48No, it was a tiny wick.
17:57On New Year's, I did nothing, dude. I
17:59went to sleep. I'm like a old person.
18:14It's like a copy of Trading View, but it
18:16has footprint though, right? and not
18:17like a [ __ ] footprint like the
18:19footprint that Trading View has. Is it
18:21like uh actual level two data?
18:36All right, we got a couple minutes to
18:38market open.
18:55Oh, it's pretty cool.
19:00Footprint on mobile.
19:03I have to check it out.
19:28How much do they charge for it? Like
19:30what's the subscription?
19:52So, I'm kind of expecting us to
19:56to push into this area, but
20:01I would I would be pretty surprised,
20:02honestly, if we just like rip all day
20:06and then take these highs. We end up
20:09taking these highs, I would be pretty
20:11surprised,
20:13but it's, you know, obviously a
20:14possibility. So, need to keep that in
20:17mind.
20:20But I would like to see this at least
20:21come back down a little bit because I
20:24don't I don't even feel comfortable
20:26trying to long this right when it's
20:31just pumping.
20:38Because at this point, realistically,
20:42the only target for a draw would, you
20:44know, be these highs basically
20:48to the upside.
20:57All right, so market just opened. See
21:00what it wants to do.
21:05There's a
21:08What the hell is happening?
21:10My data is delayed.
21:16That's not good.
21:29Hold on. Let me see how my data is
21:30delayed.
21:38Yeah, Rhythmic has a data delay right
21:40now,
21:41so I have to wait.
21:54Well, that's a bummer.
22:04You can't see it on my chart, but at the
22:06top there's like a market data latency.
22:09It's like 33,000 milliseconds. So, it's
22:12pretty late right now. It's pretty
22:14delayed.
22:24I'm going to actually try and attempt a
22:27short position right now.
22:32But I'm going to need kind of like a big
22:34ass stop loss. My bad.
22:38But I want to see us basically retrace
22:42if we just pop back up because
22:45we're technically below the buyers right
22:47now.
22:49But if we just pop back up, then
22:51whatever. I'll just take the L and this
22:54account will be pretty close to being
22:56blown. But I already pulled a payout on
22:58it, so it's not the end of the world.
23:06I got to see.
23:12All right. I mean, at this point, it's
23:14pretty safe [clears throat] to move to
23:15break even.
23:18because I don't want it to uh snap back.
23:26Dude, this is so [ __ ] though, having my
23:28footprint
23:30all [ __ ] up.
23:33I'll probably try and
23:36target 100 points for pre-market or
23:40yeah, 100 points for pre-market lows.
23:44See if we could make like two grand.
23:47And that'll
23:49breathe a lot of life into this uh
23:51account. That's for sure. But we are
23:54approaching like if you were to look at
23:55the 15minute, we are approaching the
24:01Oh, never mind. I'm looking at my
24:03footprint chart and I keep forgetting
24:04that the data is delayed, which is not
24:07good.
24:15All right, we got hit at break even.
24:20I still want to see
24:22a further uh retracement lower,
24:26but
24:29it's kind of hard for me to make
24:31decisions right now because I don't have
24:32trading. I don't have my footprint
24:34working.
24:39[clears throat] But this is definitely
24:40the target right here. for pre-market
24:42lows.
24:5210,000.
24:55Wait, is that 104,000
24:58milliseconds? What is that?
25:02What is 104,000 milliseconds in seconds?
25:16No way.
25:20It's delayed by 100 seconds.
25:24Oh my goodness. It's [ __ ] terrible.
25:39It's hard for me to do anything. So, I
25:41guess we're just going to have to wait.
25:44If you guys use rhythmic and you notice
25:46that it's like fixed,
25:48um,
25:51let me know.
25:55But it's whack because I do want to try
25:57and take a short position, but I can't
25:59because I can't see what the hell is
26:01going what the hell is going on. That's
26:03also why I had to move my stop to break
26:06even because
26:10at that point I'm just I'm not even
26:12going off of order flow. I'm just going
26:13off of just candles which I can still
26:16read candles obviously but
26:20makes me feel like I'm blind.
26:57Oh my god, dude. I feel like I just got
26:59finessed.
27:03It screwed me.
27:20This played out exactly how I thought it
27:22was going to play out.
27:31Damn it.
27:33Well, there's still room. We're still
27:35probably coming here and probably even
27:37here.
27:39These two lows, I'm expecting us to
27:43basically come back towards Asia
27:45session. So,
27:47whether or not that
27:51we actually hit the highs or not, I am
27:53still expecting us to at least take
27:54either at least probably take this low.
27:56But
27:59we'll see what happens. I also can't
28:02well I can't see what what's happening
28:04but we'll see how it pans out.
28:11But the reason why I
28:14so earlier I was telling you guys like
28:18I was looking to short it in this area
28:20right and so once this uh fivem minute
28:24candle flipped bearish I went short but
28:26it it's a pretty large uh
28:31it's a pretty large wick so I was
28:34risking I had to risk likeund
28:38and
28:39[ __ ] 80 ticks or something. And then
28:42once we started coming down, I couldn't
28:44see on the footprint chart because of
28:46the delay, I couldn't see whether or not
28:49the aggression was continuing or if
28:52buyers were stepping in or whatever,
28:54right? So, I just had to move it to
28:55break even.
28:57um just to protect myself
29:01cuz like even right now like yeah we
29:03have this big wick right here and you
29:06can make the assumption that buyers are
29:08stepping in but you don't know for sure
29:09because or I don't know for sure because
29:14I mean they are stepping in to an extent
29:15because we have a wick obviously but I
29:18can't see it. I feel like I'm
29:24feel like I'm in the dark right now.
29:27[ __ ] rhythmic, dude.
29:31And this is not prop data either. This
29:33is like I paid for this data straight
29:35through Rhythmic. So, [ __ ] them for
29:36doing that.
29:40Actually, haven't really had any
29:41problems with rhythmic data. Um
29:45because it's not rhythmic paper trading.
29:47It's normal
29:49Chicago connection.
29:57So, I'll probably just have to wait. The
29:59good news is is that
30:02at least we're up on this account. It's
30:05the second day on that account. I got a
30:08um
30:10No, top step's not down. It's working
30:12just fine right now.
30:29but you know it's like a twominute delay
30:31on rhythmic.
30:37I wonder if it's going to be like that
30:38all day.
30:40But
30:44I'm not expecting us to come back up
30:46here to these highs.
30:49Oh [ __ ]
30:51I'm not expecting us to come back to
30:53these highs before we're We're
30:55definitely going to take this out and
30:56probably this out first
31:02and I can't look for
31:05like in a situation like this, right? If
31:07I was looking at a footprint chart and I
31:10think that we're not coming back up
31:12here, somewhere in this move down
31:16is basically a level that I would be
31:18looking to take, but I I don't know
31:19where it is.
31:21And like I don't trade like candlestick
31:25patterns and [ __ ] So,
31:31we're just going to have to watch it
31:32happen basically
31:35cuz I wouldn't know where to put my stop
31:37either.
31:40I mean, the PC of the previous candle is
31:42where 600
31:44on the five minute, which is
31:49right here. See, like
31:53it's [ __ ] annoying. All
32:11right, I'm going to just take a short
32:13right now. Honestly,
32:15I'm going to have to have a pretty big
32:19stoploss.
32:21I'm actually going to wait for the 15
32:23minute to close.
32:29So, I'm going to wait for this
32:30fiveminute candle to close and the 15
32:32minutes to close and then I might I
32:34might take a short, but I can't see
32:36anything.
33:14Well, I guess we just have to sit here.
33:18And the delay is getting larger and
33:20larger and larger for rhythmic.
33:38It's at like 230 seconds right now.
33:43So, what is that?
33:46It's a lot of [music] minutes.
33:57All right. In the meantime, let me see
33:58what silver's doing. It's coming back.
34:02Gold's coming. Gold's not coming back.
34:06Oops.
34:44What a shitty way to start the week.
34:54Look at uh the wick on the hourly. I'm
34:57expecting probably this hourly to be
34:59closing bullish.
35:02or if it does close bullish,
35:06then I'd want to see it come down here.
35:08I don't think we're going to fill the
35:09gap today, though. I think that's going
35:11to be left for later this week.
35:13I mean, it might, but
35:19um I mean, I'll know when rhythmic data
35:22is normal again when Let me see if I
35:25could show you guys. You see, you see
35:27this right here?
35:29It's showing that there's a a delay.
35:34So
35:36basically like I know that and obviously
35:39I can just see it but I know that um
35:43the data is delayed. So whenever this
35:46goes away or if I hear that I see
35:50somewhere that the rhythmic data is back
35:54then if it doesn't automatically fix it
35:57and remove this warning right here then
36:00I'll probably just uh res restart a
36:03task. But it should just do it
36:04automatically
36:06realistically.
36:09So, put this back.
36:19But yeah, I I'll be able to know. I I'll
36:21know when it's back. And if I see that
36:23it's back, I'll tell you guys. But
36:27as of right now, we just got to
36:30basically sit around
36:38cuz like I can't I don't know. I don't
36:40know what the order flows looks like.
36:57Silver is probably going to keep pumping
36:58though.
37:09Oh, your yours is good right now. All
37:10right, let me try and restart this.
37:52Silver's coming back up. Maybe we take a
37:55silver trade. I don't really need order
37:57flow for silver, but
38:00it's kind of sketchy to trade silver
38:02sometimes.
38:07All right, let's see if uh my data is
38:10fixed or not.
38:22Chill. It looks like it's fixed.
38:39[ __ ] dude.
39:02All right. Well, our data is back, which
39:05is chill.
39:07So, let me see if
39:11I gotta be careful, though. We do have
39:13uh PMI,
39:16so I got to wait a second. But I still
39:18think it's likely we go lower before we
39:21take this high.
39:42ATR is pretty big right now. It's like
39:4430 points on a fivem minute candle.
39:55I would like to see us realistically
39:57come down to 500
40:00and wick past it to wick these lows.
40:12This fivem minute candle right now is
40:14almost 100 points. It's like 72 points.
40:37>> So, we got about 17 seconds left in this
40:40five minute
40:53impossible to attain.
41:07Oh, the delay just came back.
41:11Yeah, rhythmic is all [ __ ] up right
41:12now.
41:14Oh, it's gone.
41:18Well, it's still kind of there,
41:19actually.
41:36All right, I'm actually going to have to
41:38size down, but I do want to try shorts.
41:44So, where would my stop have to be?
41:46[ __ ] it'd have to be up here.
41:49All right.
41:56So, I'm going to try and take a short,
41:58but
42:01it's going to require like a huge
42:03[ __ ] stoploss
42:08and the risk-to-rewards kind of [ __ ]
42:11honestly.
42:28But if we are going to continue lower,
42:30we realistically shouldn't get back
42:31above that 5minute candle that just
42:33closed.
42:44But if it does, because we also h we
42:46also have PMI coming out. So, this might
42:48just like stay right here until PMI. And
42:52then if PMI comes out and pumps, then
42:54we'll just
42:56take the L on this account. I'll
42:57probably just move to move to the other
42:59account.
43:03But I do want to see
43:06I do want to see these lows get taken
43:08out.
43:1876.
43:24Such a big ass [ __ ] stop, dude.
43:51So, I'm looking for the PC to hold, but
43:53if it doesn't, I'm just going to get
43:54stopped right now.
43:57This account will be back to like
44:01$900 something dollars, but this is the
44:04account we pulled the payout on on
44:06Friday, so it's okay. The end of the
44:08day.
45:18What up, Ramy?
45:29So, we got about 20 seconds left. If we
45:32can close like this and keep the PC's up
45:37here, it'll make me feel a little bit
45:39better, but it's still pretty sketchy
45:41because we're not going anywhere. News
45:43is about to come out. So,
45:48I got a pretty [ __ ] entry.
45:50Realistically, the entry probably should
45:51have been at the retest of the previous
45:53candles PC because then at least the uh
45:58yeah, we don't that's not a good close.
46:01At least the um riskto-reward would have
46:04been better. Like right now it's not
46:06even a 2R and we're about to take like a
46:12like a [ __ ] what 80 point 80 point
46:16stop loss which is huge but
46:20I went half size so I went five micros
46:24but it's still going to be like 500
46:26bucks and this account only has like
46:281,500 to start the day anyways after the
46:31payout on Friday.
46:45And this is the last 5minute candle
46:47before news. So, we'll see what happens.
48:00So, we got news in three minutes.
48:04If we can get a little lower, it'll make
48:06me feel better. So, it's less likely
48:09I'll get like wicked out and then it
48:11comes down. But if PMI comes out and it
48:14literally just pumps, there's nothing we
48:16can do about it. So,
48:41And plus, we have the hourly candle
48:43right now, which looks like this.
48:50So, like, let's say we close bullish
48:54with this big ass wick right here, like
48:56a bullish candle.
48:59I mean, we could retrace back into this
49:01wick before we actually move down.
49:05It'd be better if we close the hourly
49:08candle lower
49:12because then it if we are going to go
49:14lower, it probably wouldn't retrace that
49:16far into this wick.
49:22At least that's what I think. So,
49:27oh, you couldn't even see that. My bad.
49:34This is what the hourly looks like. I I
49:38want I would like it to close bearish
49:41realistically
49:44with this big ass wick
49:48and then I think it's reasonable that we
49:50probably retrace at least half of this
49:52move.
49:56or we don't and PMI comes out in a
50:00minute and we just rip higher,
50:05which it's starting to look like it's
50:06going to happen because sellers just try
50:07to push down right now and they're
50:09failing to do it.
50:51All right, let's see what news does.
50:56Oh, that's not good. That's not good.
51:17Gold's ripping right now. Let me look.
51:23Yeah, it is. Same with silver.
51:32Crazy pump.
51:37I'm actually pretty surprised I didn't
51:39get stopped out of this yet.
51:48We're just like consolidating right
51:50here.
52:00All right, we're getting selling
52:01pressure again. We'll see if it can
52:03actually continue this time.
52:18We're going for about 80 points.
52:23So, what is this? The stop loss is 57
52:26points.
52:29The takerit is 82 points.
52:33But we need to see like some actual
52:37aggression right here.
52:39Otherwise, because we're starting to
52:41consolidate, so like sellers can't
52:43really get below this level. Otherwise,
52:46this is going to happen.
53:09And it sucks because we started uh we
53:12started consolidating and I basically
53:14caught the bottom of the consolidation.
53:22It's [ __ ] stupid.
53:37All
53:49right, we're going to get taken out of
53:50this right now. It's probably going to
54:01if it does break out of this uh
54:03consolidation right here, I'd need to
54:04see like how hard it's going to break
54:06out of it or if there's going to be any
54:08continuation
54:10or not
54:18because we may just be
54:21grinding up all day like just ripping
54:23higher all day
54:26because if we do that then I can't
54:27really trade because I don't want to
54:29take longs up here. I'd rather just not
54:32take a trade at all.
54:47At least I'd wait.
55:10But if it does break through this, it's
55:12going to probably do it pretty hard.
55:25>> Order filled
55:26>> like that.
55:28All right. So, we're down $500 on this
55:31account.
55:33The balance. So, we had a $3,000
55:36balance. We took a payout, then we lost
55:38500.
55:40Kind of a shitty trade. So, we're not
55:43going to touch this anymore today. At
55:45least not with this. I will
55:51see what I can do on this account
55:53because this account has the full $2,000
55:55of draw down.
55:58But I'm going to wait to see what this
56:00does right here.
56:12[snorts] But if I take a trade on this
56:14account
56:16and I lose, I'll probably just stop
56:18trading on the day I'm up on this
56:21account and then I'm up on this account.
56:23So, I don't want to
56:26I don't want to go red on like all of my
56:28accounts basically.
56:33Well, actually, I can't go red on this
56:36account because this account I already
56:37locked out of it after last night.
57:51But until we get past like
57:55until we get past like the highs here,
58:00I still think that there's a potential
58:02we do go lower, but I just don't want to
58:04take it because we chopped right here. I
58:07would have to wait. If I wanted to try
58:09another short, the safest thing to do is
58:13I would have to wait for like a massive
58:16amount of selling pressure to come
58:18through and for a candle to close with a
58:22very small wick basically
58:25at the bottom of this
58:28and then the risk-to-reward would be
58:30like super [ __ ] too. So,
58:34probably better just to wait.
58:46We can't really trade anything else
58:47right now because silver's just ripping.
58:51Gold's just ripping.
59:10So, we'll see if uh we can wait it out
59:15and hopefully have some type of
59:18momentum in either direction.
59:45We do have a lot of news this week
59:47though.
59:49So, if today is not the day,
59:52then today's not the day.
59:56And there will probably be better
59:57opportunities later this week.
1:00:02So, there's no reason for us to I mean,
1:00:04if literally it doesn't do [ __ ]
1:00:08We have buyers coming in right now, but
1:00:10if this doesn't do anything, it's like
1:00:13uh
1:00:15there's no reason to try and risk
1:00:17capital right now
1:00:21because
1:00:24why would you want to do that here? The
1:00:25volume's good though. It's just not
1:00:27going anywhere.
1:00:31Yeah, gold the commodities during Asia
1:00:33session is great. That's how uh I mean
1:00:36that's
1:00:38Asia session. I caught a trade on silver
1:00:41with one micro and basically made $900.
1:00:47Um,
1:00:49it's better to trade, in my opinion, I
1:00:51like trading gold and silver
1:00:54during Asia session and not dur during
1:00:57New York.
1:01:02But an 80% win rate's pretty good. I
1:01:06mean, it just depends on what your s
1:01:07your sample size is and if you're
1:01:09accounting for break evens in your win
1:01:11rate because then it's not really like a
1:01:13true 80%. But regardless, it's great.
1:01:24But 4:00 a.m. to trade is pretty crazy.
1:01:26I wouldn't be able to do that. Well, I
1:01:28guess I kind of do that already. I wake
1:01:30up at 5 because I'm on the West Coast.
1:01:33So, I wake up at 5, trade market open at
1:01:356.
1:02:08Uh yeah, basically I'm just like a
1:02:11little south of LA.
1:02:15I'm like 45 minutes south of LA
1:02:18basically without traffic.
1:02:26So what I'm looking at right now is
1:02:30pre-market we attempted to go higher and
1:02:32we had buyers stepping in right here and
1:02:35they basically failed and we came down.
1:02:39sellers couldn't push lower. So then we
1:02:41basically
1:02:43had fair value here for a little bit.
1:02:46Then this large order came in, but that
1:02:49was just clearing out an order on the
1:02:51book. And then we had two
1:02:54smaller big trades here. And then
1:02:58there's like yet to be any type of
1:03:00follow through.
1:03:04So, this is setting up to look like
1:03:08we're gonna stay potentially within this
1:03:11range unless
1:03:13buyers step in again and push it really
1:03:16hard. Then the target would probably be
1:03:18at least 700
1:03:22or at least the highs obviously, but
1:03:23probably 700
1:03:26um up here.
1:03:57Well, at least he got out for a 3R.
1:03:59That's pretty good.
1:04:04That's great.
1:04:16You know what? Maybe I'll probably
1:04:43That's That sucks. I'm surprised we
1:04:46didn't actually take pre-market lows,
1:04:48but
1:04:54it is what it is. I want to see how the
1:04:5715 minutes going to close.
1:05:0015 minute and then how does five minutes
1:05:03going to close?
1:05:16No, I'm not going to touch this account.
1:05:19Honestly,
1:05:20today's not the day. I'll just let it
1:05:22have its $200 day.
1:05:41Nice.
1:05:44Trading micros on gold. Just longing it
1:05:47or what?
1:05:52All
1:06:06right. It's going to
1:06:17All right, let's see if we can get some
1:06:19type of follow through. Keeps taking the
1:06:21orders above the range.
1:07:12there. having tr the buyers are having
1:07:14trouble getting past here.
1:07:45So, I want to see how this five minute
1:07:46is going to close.
1:07:48If it fails again and we actually close
1:07:53pretty strong bearish,
1:07:56I might try the shorts one more time.
1:07:58But
1:08:02if I lose that trade, then I'm just
1:08:04going to stop trading for today. That'll
1:08:06be two trades, two losses during New
1:08:09York session, and I'll just probably
1:08:11wait for
1:08:14more directional price action. Hopefully
1:08:16next
1:08:18tomorrow or something.
1:08:24Do we have any news tomorrow?
1:08:27Don't we have jolts this week?
1:08:35PMI today,
1:08:38tomorrow.
1:08:40Wait a second.
1:08:42Oh, we had manufacturing PMI today and
1:08:44then tomorrow is
1:08:47composite PMI
1:08:49services or services PMI
1:08:54at 6:45 and 7 a.m.
1:09:02and then we have NFP on Friday, right?
1:09:07No, we don't. Do we?
1:09:13I'll have to look later. We definitely
1:09:15do have jolts on uh the seventh though.
1:09:51Oh, I got to work on some evals this
1:09:53week in preparation for this uh for this
1:09:56account just in case it gets blown.
1:10:04Oh, Nvidia later today. A keynote.
1:10:10When is Nvidia earnings? Is that this
1:10:12week? Is that next week?
1:10:53All right, this five minutes closing
1:10:55pretty bullish. Let's see if we can get
1:10:56some follow through. take out the highs
1:10:58and head to the 700
1:11:16for the follow through. I'd want to see
1:11:17at least this area to hold though. Like
1:11:25you don't want to really see this candle
1:11:28get back below this area.
1:12:06Cuz
1:12:22like you could try and basically go long
1:12:25right here, right now, and then the
1:12:27moment it hits this wick, you would
1:12:29basically just move your stop to break
1:12:31even.
1:12:33But
1:12:35it's just like kind of premature because
1:12:41this is pretty weak follow through right
1:12:43now of these buyers.
1:13:00So you wouldn't you wouldn't Yeah. you
1:13:02wouldn't even know if it's actually
1:13:03going to continue or not because
1:13:11because realistically like when you have
1:13:14these big trades at least what I'm
1:13:16looking for is
1:13:18if it's going to continue
1:13:21in that direction
1:13:25I would expect it to happen or I'd be
1:13:28looking for it to happen relatively
1:13:29quickly especially coming out of Uh,
1:13:33I mean, we're we're we're still in this
1:13:35um
1:13:38we're still within this 15-minute
1:13:40candle. We're almost an hour into open
1:13:42and we haven't broken out of a 15-minute
1:13:44candle yet. So, there's like
1:13:50not a lot of direction today.
1:13:53And
1:13:56recognizing that recognizing that
1:13:57there's not a lot of direction right
1:13:58now,
1:14:00it's probably a good idea to be more
1:14:02passive
1:14:05than aggressive.
1:14:08Even though something may work out, like
1:14:10even though this may totally flip and we
1:14:12go take out this huge cluster of orders
1:14:15right here. See this? all these orders
1:14:22we could, but
1:14:26for one, like
1:14:30where would you put your stop? Over
1:14:32here. Okay. Well,
1:14:36say you did that. Your stop would be
1:14:37like 30 ticks. And then where are you
1:14:39targeting or 30 points? You're targeting
1:14:41probably 700. So, unless you're
1:14:44targeting the highs, if you think we're
1:14:46going to take this out today, I don't
1:14:49if we do, we're not going to do it in
1:14:50the AM session. I don't think
1:14:54unless we just start ripping right now.
1:15:46All right, let's see if the buyers can
1:15:47start stepping in now and push this
1:15:49higher when this 5m minute closes.
1:17:15Damn, dude. I should have just taken a
1:17:16pre-market trade long on the commodities
1:17:19this morning.
1:17:22I was looking at them, too. I woke up at
1:17:23like 4:00 a.m.
1:17:32cuz NQ is just on some [ __ ] right
1:17:34now.
1:17:44But we have 3 minutes left in this
1:17:4715-minute candle
1:17:51on the 5m minute
1:18:31No, you're trying to scalp this.
1:18:34Yeah, that's tough, dude. because like
1:18:45it's just like not really having a lot
1:18:47of follow through, you know, like
1:18:50and the ATR. I mean, I don't know what
1:18:52time frame you're on, but ATR on a fivem
1:18:53minute is pretty big. Like right now,
1:18:57that candle that just happened right
1:18:58there, like
1:19:02imagine you went long right here,
1:19:05you would had to take at least like 25
1:19:07points of heat.
1:19:10So,
1:19:14pretty large order here once we took the
1:19:16highs. But um
1:19:22again like we need to see if there's
1:19:24going to be any type of continuation
1:19:27and
1:19:28the first target obviously after these
1:19:31highs
1:19:33is going to be 700 because there's
1:19:35orders there. It's a psychological
1:19:36level. But after that, there's really
1:19:39nothing until I mean, there'll probably
1:19:43be orders sitting at 750, too. But at
1:19:46that point, you just be looking for us
1:19:48to take the highs from
1:19:51uh Friday,
1:19:54the highs from Friday,
1:20:00but we have a little bit of sellers
1:20:02stepping in.
1:20:11And we are
1:20:17Oh, just on your evals. That's fine.
1:20:22It's just an evo.
1:20:41Wait, I need to see where we're at in in
1:20:43location for this range.
1:21:25platform.
1:21:27Uh I well with the prop firms I'm
1:21:29trading on project X but if there's any
1:21:33connection like like if I'm ever trading
1:21:35a live account or a different prop firm
1:21:39that doesn't offer project X then I'm
1:21:42using ATS to just execute trades on. So
1:21:45this screen I'll execute trades on this
1:21:48screen.
1:21:57But right now since I'm trading like top
1:21:59step accounts and alpha future accounts,
1:22:01I'm trading on project X.
1:22:14Damn, dude. I wish that move this
1:22:15morning had more followthrough. We would
1:22:17have been up like two grand
1:22:21instead. It just snapped back and hit my
1:22:23break even. I tried it again and then it
1:22:24got [ __ ] smoked.
1:22:37So basically
1:22:43I am watching this area right now for
1:22:48how price is going to react up here
1:22:50because
1:22:53this to me this area is like
1:22:58last line of defense and if this doesn't
1:23:01hold and bring us back down then
1:23:05we get like above this right here which
1:23:07is 7:18 here. Hold on. My bad. Like 718,
1:23:15720.
1:23:17Then we're probably heading back up
1:23:20overall on like a on a higher time frame
1:23:22though.
1:23:25Something to think about though is like
1:23:28if you were to go look at a 4 hour,
1:23:32we are bullish and the target is
1:23:34actually way up here. Like
1:23:38you would be looking for price over the
1:23:40course of this month probably to come up
1:23:42here
1:23:48at least up here
1:23:51heading towards 26,000.
1:23:53But on an intraday level, like it's not
1:23:57often. I mean, it obviously happens like
1:23:59how we see it's happening right now, but
1:24:01it's not often that we have all three
1:24:04sessions going in the same direction.
1:24:06Like
1:24:08if you were to go back and you look at
1:24:11Asia session, London session, and then
1:24:14New York, for them to all go bullish um
1:24:19is not that common. It doesn't actually
1:24:21happen that often and especially without
1:24:23New York ever revisiting Asia at all. It
1:24:26really doesn't happen that much. So like
1:24:28if you go back like let's look let's
1:24:31look right you have Asia bullish London
1:24:34bullish New York dumps takes out London
1:24:37Asia
1:24:39you had Asia basically it kind of ranged
1:24:44London was bearish we pop up
1:24:48past it. So like you see how like
1:24:50majority of the time or I guess this
1:24:52ranged a little bit but majority of the
1:24:55time it's pretty rare that we head in
1:24:57the same direction on three three um
1:25:02sessions without ever trying to revisit
1:25:05Asia. Like at least this day we came
1:25:07back up to Asia Asia lows
1:25:11or this day right you go bearish bearish
1:25:13and then we pump up and take the highs.
1:25:18So,
1:25:21kind of looks like we're just gonna
1:25:24if we don't turn around,
1:25:27we may just like slowly grind sideways.
1:25:33I mean, the volume is good, but it's
1:25:35just like
1:25:38not a lot of follow through or momentum,
1:25:41so it's hard for me to
1:25:44try and trade it. But if you're scalping
1:25:46it, you could probably pull a few points
1:25:48out the market,
1:25:50especially if the ATR
1:25:53on a fivem minute candle is like 30
1:25:55points, 36 points right now.
1:26:06But when it's doing this, like just so
1:26:09you know, by the way, when it's doing
1:26:11this, whenever we're like slowly kind of
1:26:15like moving up like this, where it's not
1:26:18like there's not a lot of speed to it,
1:26:20but it's just kind of like slowly
1:26:22grinding up,
1:26:25it is [ __ ] dangerous to try and catch
1:26:28the top of it.
1:26:31Even though, let's just say this may be
1:26:33the top, right? Like
1:26:36let's say this is the level I was
1:26:37watching for and this could be the top.
1:26:39Sure. But
1:26:42it's not a good idea. It's not a good
1:26:43idea to try and actually trade it
1:26:46because for all we know this can slowly
1:26:50continue to grind up grind up. So we
1:26:53need to see like sellers step in. Well,
1:26:56then we need to see followth through and
1:26:58then we need to see speed start to pick
1:27:00up
1:27:03because until then this is this doesn't
1:27:05mean anything. You might have people who
1:27:06are going short right now thinking, "Oh,
1:27:09we took the highs and we're going to
1:27:12come down." But
1:27:15you just got to be careful doing that.
1:27:19It's a great way to blow your account.
1:27:36But like even though I have a level
1:27:37right here and like the first five
1:27:39minute candle after we touch that level
1:27:41we're coming down. I'm still not taking
1:27:43the short
1:27:48cuz I need to see like some type of
1:27:51confirmation, some type of shift in the
1:27:53intent of the market participants
1:27:58because right now this is not strong.
1:28:00This not yet.
1:28:37So, what I'm going to look for right now
1:28:38is I want to see how this fivem minute
1:28:40candle is going to close. If I do decide
1:28:43to
1:28:45take a short position here,
1:28:49I need like extra confirmation.
1:28:53And of course, this can just come down
1:28:55and then we take a short and like again
1:28:57slowly grind up, but um
1:29:02I don't feel comfortable taking any
1:29:05longs realistically
1:29:14unless market structure gets created
1:29:16where then it would make sense to take a
1:29:18long but right now there is really no
1:29:21structure. I mean
1:29:25like look at this.
1:29:30At least on the five minute. I'm sure if
1:29:32you were to go to like a one minute, you
1:29:34can like
1:29:36think of something here that you would
1:29:37consider market structure. But for me,
1:29:39this is just like a bunch of [ __ ]
1:29:41noise.
1:30:14Yeah. I mean, especially as we start to
1:30:17head
1:30:18um later into the day,
1:30:25there's a good chance that like
1:30:28cuz I don't trade uh PM session and I
1:30:32definitely don't trade the lunch hour.
1:30:34So,
1:30:36usually like
1:30:38on a normal day where price action would
1:30:41be considered good objectively like um
1:30:44you'll probably have good speed for like
1:30:46one or two solid moves depending on what
1:30:49your average target is, but my average
1:30:50target's probably like 50 points um just
1:30:53with the volatility volatility we've had
1:30:56recently.
1:30:59But I mean, sometimes if we're just
1:31:00bullshitting all morning, I mean,
1:31:02heading into lunch, you can have a
1:31:03directional move, but I usually don't
1:31:05trade that.
1:31:22So, basically, if we were going to go
1:31:24lower, the idea would be is you wouldn't
1:31:26want to see us basically
1:31:28Come back up here
1:31:36>> like past 50% of this candle and close.
1:31:48But it might just uh we might just
1:31:50[ __ ] the rest of the day like
1:31:53do some type of slow grind
1:31:57higher and then have like a sell off at
1:32:02uh MOC or lunch hour or after lunch hour
1:32:05like PM session we could have that sell
1:32:07off that I was looking for but
1:32:12I don't trade that
1:32:32Nice.
1:32:36Yeah, I'm just going to wait for a
1:32:37second. I'm slightly tempted to take a
1:32:40short, but it's just like
1:32:44I'll probably have to size down if I do
1:32:46it because it's lower probability
1:32:50conditions.
1:33:05All right, I'm going to go short right
1:33:07here.
1:33:07>> Order filled.
1:33:08>> And I'm going to see if we can break
1:33:10past this area. We could bounce right
1:33:12here and realistically I am going to
1:33:14have to have like a 200 tick stop loss
1:33:16again.
1:33:20But we'll see if we could pick up some
1:33:22speed because the 15 minutes looking
1:33:25pretty good for shorts as long as it
1:33:27actually closes over here. If it pops
1:33:31back up, then um
1:33:35I'll just take the L on this account,
1:33:36too. And then I'll be down on two
1:33:39accounts, up on two accounts, and then
1:33:42I'll just call it a day.
1:33:52But this is like uh anticipating like
1:33:55it's not um there's no follow through
1:33:58yet for sellers. So, we're kind of
1:34:01entering prematurely. And I caught a
1:34:03[ __ ] entry again,
1:34:06but it's all right.
1:34:15I'll take the L.
1:34:33But yeah, if I lose this trade or if it
1:34:36goes down and I move it to break even
1:34:38and then it hits break even, um,
1:34:43I'm going to just Oh,
1:34:54then at least worst case scenario,
1:34:58I'll be up on two accounts, down on two
1:35:00accounts.
1:35:02I could live with it.
1:35:06Oh [ __ ] you guys can't see this. My
1:35:08bad.
1:35:24But I mean, we're we're respecting this
1:35:27area that I wanted us to respect. I just
1:35:29need to see if there's actually going to
1:35:30be follow through lower
1:35:35and momentum and speed to start to pick
1:35:37up. The only thing that I'm worried
1:35:39about though is like once we do start to
1:35:41get back into this area, my bad. Once we
1:35:44do start to get back into this area, um
1:35:49it's going to need kind of a lot of
1:35:51aggression if we're actually going to go
1:35:53lower, which I don't know if that
1:35:54aggression is even going to be present
1:35:56today. You know what I mean? So,
1:36:00I guess we'll I guess we'll find out.
1:36:36But if we do go lower, I think I will
1:36:38probably trail my stop cuz I'm not
1:36:41expecting like I know I have I know I
1:36:43have this drawn out where it's targeting
1:36:45like the lows, but um I don't think
1:36:48that's like super realistic right now
1:36:51with how it's currently moving. So, if
1:36:54we do go down, I'll probably just trail
1:36:55my stop on the way down.
1:36:59Once we start getting below this uh this
1:37:03area where all these buyers were at,
1:37:04that's like the main area we need to
1:37:06break past. If we can't break past it,
1:37:08then we're probably going to just
1:37:10consolidate right here and then pop back
1:37:12up.
1:38:30Man, the volume just kind of like
1:38:33got really Hello.
1:38:50Thank you.
1:39:10Thank you.
1:40:10I think what I'm going to do though is
1:40:21if we
1:40:24on a 15inut chart if We start to flip
1:40:27bearish on this um
1:40:31we start to flip bearish on this candle
1:40:34and we get past here.
1:40:39This is basically where
1:40:42I'm going to decide to move to break
1:40:44even. So, it's really not that far. I
1:40:47think it's about
1:40:5025 points from my entry.
1:40:56Uh yeah, just about.
1:40:59But that's if it even gets down there
1:41:01because
1:41:06this is looking pretty gross right now.
1:41:46So, we want to see it have some
1:41:49aggression and close below this area. If
1:41:52we come down here and sellers attempt to
1:41:55push past this area with all of these
1:41:58buyers that came in and they fail and
1:42:01they create a wick like what it's
1:42:02happening right now,
1:42:04um this is going to go take the highs
1:42:06again.
1:42:10If it if it pushes lower, like if we
1:42:14come down here, make a wick, pop back
1:42:16up, we're probably going to go take the
1:42:17highs.
1:42:20So that's why if we do come down here, I
1:42:23need to move my stop to break even just
1:42:26in case that's about to happen.
1:42:33But it may just pump right here.
1:43:17Cuz
1:43:26this area, by the way, where this box
1:43:28is, like this is where buyers would be
1:43:31trying to protect
1:43:34realistically.
1:43:39So shorts technically are not confirmed
1:43:42until we get below this area, but I just
1:43:46try to take it early,
1:43:53but seems like we're struggling to get
1:43:54past this area. And every time we push
1:43:56down a little bit, it just pops back up.
1:43:58And now we have a bunch of buyers
1:44:00stepping in right now.
1:44:47I hope I don't get stuck in this trade
1:44:48for like an hour though
1:44:54and h and be forced to sit here and
1:44:56watch this for an hour. I'd rather just
1:44:58have it go stop me up
1:45:02or of course go to profit go down and go
1:45:05and profit. But
1:45:13we'll see how this 5 minutes going to
1:45:14close.
1:45:58All right, not the worst close for our
1:46:00position, but now what we're going to
1:46:03see right now is we're going to see
1:46:04sellers attempt to get lower again. And
1:46:06if they fail,
1:46:09it's not going to it's not looking good.
1:46:13And we're either going to be stuck in a
1:46:15chop for a while until they do break
1:46:16lower or uh it's just going to bounce
1:46:20back up.
1:46:21And I'm going get stopped.
1:46:35So there they went again. They try they
1:46:36try to get past this area, the sellers,
1:46:38and they
1:46:40can't really do it. They're not
1:46:42aggressive enough to actually push past
1:46:45where these buyers were stepping in
1:46:46because buyers are holding this area.
1:46:49So then once the sellers give up,
1:46:51basically this is going to just probably
1:46:54go to 700.
1:47:21And the hourly is going to close right
1:47:23now in about four minutes, three and a
1:47:28half minutes.
1:47:30And it's closing pretty bullish.
1:47:33So that this candle is not a good candle
1:47:36for shorts on an hourly
1:47:40because then at that point if we close
1:47:42like this it's likely that before any
1:47:45type of shorts come in we actually at
1:47:48least go and make a new high. It it
1:47:50would be unlikely that this remains that
1:47:53this remains the high.
1:47:55It would get taken out by the next
1:47:57hourly candle.
1:49:39Damn, dude.
1:49:41If you're going to stop me out, just go
1:49:42stop me out already. I don't want to sit
1:49:44here for an for an hour.
1:50:25Hopefully the new hourly candle can do
1:50:27something though, like stop me out or at
1:50:30least move cuz we're not doing anything.
1:50:34It's boring as [ __ ]
1:50:58All right. So, the new hourly candle
1:51:01opened up. It's really not looking too
1:51:03good for shorts,
1:51:07but we're already in it, so I can't just
1:51:09like get out of it now.
1:51:13Well, I could just get out of it, but I
1:51:14don't want to.
1:52:25But yeah, with this hourly candle like
1:52:31realistically
1:52:37That previous hourly close is not
1:52:41ideal.
1:53:01because this could just be creating a
1:53:04wick on the hourly before it pumps up.
1:53:13I think uh
1:53:18just to save myself from a headache, I'm
1:53:20going to probably move my stop to break
1:53:22even if it has any type of aggression
1:53:24towards the downside.
1:53:28And then if I hit break even,
1:53:31I guess we would save ourselves $425
1:53:36or it just pumps right now and we'd
1:53:38lose.
1:53:44But it would leave this account. It's
1:53:46the second day on this account. It would
1:53:47leave this account with like $1,500 draw
1:53:49down, which is totally cool of me. I
1:53:52could work with that.
1:53:54The other account though is like making
1:53:56me nervous. This one that I took the L
1:53:58on, it's like 960 bucks.
1:54:05It's just uh
1:54:10Yeah. I mean, I think I think later in
1:54:12the week it'll probably be better.
1:54:15Does it happen often? Like on the new
1:54:18year? It didn't happen last year on the
1:54:20new year, but that's because it was
1:54:22election year.
1:54:25But sometimes
1:54:28sometimes you just have uh consolidation
1:54:30days or days that just aren't they don't
1:54:33have a lot of momentum or follow
1:54:34through. I mean, it just happens.
1:54:37Not every day is going to be super
1:54:39volatile with clean moves. And then
1:54:42usually like on days like today,
1:54:45the goal realistically is to
1:54:49try and minimize damage, right? So like
1:54:54usually I would go probably a mini on
1:54:58these accounts, like using one mini
1:55:00contract, but I'm using half size today
1:55:03because also the the stop losses
1:55:07are going to need to be pretty big.
1:55:11And when you have price action like
1:55:14that's kind of just moving back and
1:55:16forth and the speed is low. There's not
1:55:19a lot of like speed. And then if you
1:55:23look right here, volume's dropping off
1:55:24like
1:55:26it's not the day you'd want to like size
1:55:29up or take more trades.
1:55:32So,
1:55:34but usually I'm okay with um I try and
1:55:38keep my losses on the day like if I do
1:55:41lose on an account, I try to keep my
1:55:43losses on the day like
1:55:46preferably below 500 bucks. Um
1:55:52so
1:55:55if we lose, right, we would be down like
1:55:59$420 basically. 425 bucks. So that's
1:56:03within my daily loss limit where I'm
1:56:05comfortable.
1:56:09And then we would stop because
1:56:12when price action is doing this, it's
1:56:14probably going to actually continue to
1:56:16do this
1:56:18because
1:56:20at least until like after launch because
1:56:23if you think about it, like when we're
1:56:26consolidating
1:56:28like this, it's not um
1:56:32it's not forcing market participation,
1:56:35if that makes sense. Market
1:56:36participation at this point becomes
1:56:38optional because if you have buyers and
1:56:41sellers, they're not forced to transact.
1:56:43If we start
1:56:45moving and hitting areas where like stop
1:56:49losses are or like where large orders
1:56:51are, um then it forces market
1:56:54participation because
1:56:57sellers and buyers would then have to
1:56:59transact to protect themselves or
1:57:03you know like. So basically the idea is
1:57:04is like if we're consolidating
1:57:08um technically we can consolidate for
1:57:11however long it wants to consolidate for
1:57:13until one party steps in and says like
1:57:15no we're not doing this anymore but it
1:57:17can happen for hours. It can happen all
1:57:19day.
1:57:20So because it's happening it's probably
1:57:24better idea like
1:57:26to just stop trading unless you trade
1:57:29power hour or like the last hour of the
1:57:31day. um
1:57:35then maybe there'll be a move then but I
1:57:38don't trade that time. So,
1:57:41this if this doesn't do anything, we'll
1:57:45probably be stuck here for a little bit,
1:57:49which I would prefer not to.
1:57:53But I kind of knew I was going to sit in
1:57:54this trade for a while when I took it
1:57:56because
1:57:58the volume was tapering off.
1:58:07But I think next I think uh the rest of
1:58:09these days will probably be a little
1:58:10better.
1:58:13At least I'm hoping so.
1:58:21But like
1:58:24I know I kind of I kind of forced this
1:58:26trade a little bit. Uh but realistically
1:58:29like today is not the day to be trying
1:58:31to force trades.
1:58:39But I have like multiple funded
1:58:41accounts. So I just wanted to try and
1:58:43get a winning day.
1:58:46But
1:58:49uh this is a footprint chart. So
1:58:52it's um on a platform called ATS ATS.
1:58:58All right, let's see if I could finally
1:59:00get stopped out of this.
1:59:22What this is probably going to do though
1:59:24is it's probably going to
1:59:27like spike through this really quickly.
1:59:30Probably come up to 700 and then it's
1:59:32going to just do the same [ __ ] again.
1:59:35I wouldn't expect uh
1:59:38speed to pick up until probably later in
1:59:40the day if it even does.
1:59:42So, we will take our L. We will move on
1:59:48and try and do a better job tomorrow and
1:59:52also work on some more evals just so I
1:59:54can
1:59:56because I already took a payout this
1:59:58month. Uh, I have some money to like
2:00:01reinvested into some evals to try and
2:00:03get some more. So, we'll probably try
2:00:04and do that this week, too.
2:00:08All
2:00:20right, finally. It's going to spike up
2:00:23right now.
2:00:23>> Order filled.
2:00:24>> All right, cool. So, little bit of a
2:00:28recap here.
2:00:30Let me go back to this screen.
2:00:34So, the idea that I had pre-market was I
2:00:37wanted this to uh actually retrace into
2:00:39this move and take these lows. At first,
2:00:42it looked like we were about to do it.
2:00:44So, once we flip bearish on here, I
2:00:46actually went short, but then I couldn't
2:00:48see what was happening on order flow for
2:00:49a little bit. So, um the target was here
2:00:53or here. So, I entered in one mini on
2:00:55the other account and um
2:01:00it went probably
2:01:03a little over a 100 ticks in profit and
2:01:05then it snapped back to hit my break
2:01:07even and then when we came back up here
2:01:10I tried to do it again um
2:01:14and then it didn't work obviously so I
2:01:17took a L on
2:01:19this account and then when we were up
2:01:22here we came into the level I was
2:01:24watching for which is basically premium
2:01:28if we were to continue lower or if we
2:01:31were a turnaround. Realistically, I
2:01:33would want to see it happen in this
2:01:35area. It is kind of a big area, though.
2:01:37It's between like 720 and and like 660.
2:01:41It's a pretty big area, but we tried to
2:01:45take a stab at it once we saw a little
2:01:46bit of selling pressure coming in, but
2:01:48there was again no follow through. We
2:01:50entered actually early because you
2:01:53should have been
2:01:56ideally you should have waited for it to
2:01:58actually get below this area because
2:02:01you know when buyers step in like this
2:02:04they're likely to try and protect their
2:02:06position. So
2:02:09this wouldn't pick up any speed until it
2:02:11started getting past here and then it
2:02:13would start to pick up speed if it if it
2:02:15would have. So then we got stopped out
2:02:17of that. So, we're ending the day down
2:02:20$541 on this account. Down $421 on this
2:02:23account. I am up $900 on this account
2:02:27from
2:02:29um
2:02:31Asia session trading silver last night.
2:02:35And then I
2:02:37traded like one micro on gold um last
2:02:43night during Asia session for this
2:02:44account. So, this account's up 220
2:02:47bucks. It'll count as a winning day. So,
2:02:50we'll just leave it there and then we'll
2:02:52just have to focus on um Oh [ __ ]
2:02:57The [ __ ]
2:03:05My bad. We'll have to focus on these two
2:03:08accounts. So, it's looking pretty bad
2:03:11for this account. or not not this
2:03:13account for this account because
2:03:16there's 960 bucks left. So
2:03:19I gotta work on some eval this week just
2:03:21in case because right now we have four
2:03:23funded accounts. I need to get
2:03:26probably to like
2:03:29eight 8 to 10 8 to 10 funded is probably
2:03:33ideal. And then at that point if you
2:03:36have like multiple funded accounts then
2:03:37I can start trading them a little bit
2:03:39more aggressively. But for now, like I
2:03:41got to be a little careful because
2:03:45I'm net positive on the month, but I
2:03:47don't want to get into a situation where
2:03:49I'm like back to break even and I can't
2:03:50buy more like evals or basically I just
2:03:54don't want to go net negative. That's
2:03:56like really the only goal. So, I need to
2:03:59realistically
2:04:01get another payout from one of these
2:04:03four accounts.
2:04:05But hopefully tomorrow's better
2:04:09and we do a better job. But the losses
2:04:12are manageable. As long as we don't like
2:04:15put ourselves in a position that's like
2:04:17really like [ __ ] bad. It's okay. I
2:04:21mean, we're not going to win every day.
2:04:23So, I'll catch you guys tomorrow. I'll
2:04:25probably be on like 15 minutes before
2:04:27market open. And hopefully we have a
2:04:30better day. If you're going to continue
2:04:31to trade today, just be careful because
2:04:34um
2:04:35it's really not doing a lot. There's not
2:04:37a lot of movement or speed. So, if
2:04:40you're trying to basically anticipate
2:04:41that speed or momentum,
2:04:44you're kind of guessing when it's going
2:04:46to happen, and that could be kind of
2:04:48dangerous. So,
2:04:51be careful. Good luck, and I'll catch
2:04:53you guys later. Peace.
