Serious message for everyone who is struggling with trading at the moment!
I am going to tell you a little bit about my journey and maybe you can take some lessons from this.
I started trading together with my brother @kadir_xau during March 2020.
We were like sponges. We learned so many strategies in no time.
The community we were in (MLM) couldn‘t believe that we could even trade. Most of them just cared about selling the product.
We were dedicated to the charts.
Everyday 16 hours! Live chart time + Backtesting.
We learned two strategies back then,
Elliot wave & Heikin Ashi Candles.
We mastered it, but the winrate was way too low. Like 20%. (Maybe less)
You had to really hold trades so it was no where profitable. Only hindsight stuff.
After that we just focused on Price Action. We digested every single candle.
We just experienced how the candles formed and gained so much from that.
(Members in the Live Session witnessed our accuracy on M1 Timeframe for months.)
After 2 years @kadir_xau came up with our holy grail:
the Manipulation Candle.
It took us soo much time to perfect the edge to a point where a whole playbook & strategy evolved from that.
We already knew liquidity and imbalances (FVG) back then and we added the Manipulation Candle to that. And it worked wonders.
After years of executing on the same exact setup with small nuances we felt like we found the holy grail to trading Gold.
Strategy ✅
Then Risk & Trade management became the second step.
We backtested all of our trades and journaled everything.
And we saw that 1:2RR has the highest Winrate + Reward combined.
Yes sometimes the trades go for much more than that, but the probability was not high enough to hold every single trade to 10R.
We adapted the strategy from M1 entries to M5 & M15 entries.
This way the winrate got close to 85% with 2RR.
+ Mental Capital wasn‘t drained
Because if the stop loss gets hit the whole idea is invalid.
You won‘t see our trades hitting SL and going in that direction again.
Max Losing Streak until today is 4.
Risk & Trade Management ✅
Only remaining aspect was the psychology.
The mastery of trading psychology comed through confidence in the edge you have.
We have data of 1.000s of trades.
And we know what Winrate and RR we will average a month.
So the outcome of 1 single trade doesn‘t mean anything.
Yes the probability is very high, but that doesn‘t mean you can overrisk on every single trade, because we also have the data on the max losing streak (4).
This way you are forced to manage your risk and also not marry your trade idea.
So the mental aspect of trading became strong through the data-backed proven strategy.
Psychology ✅
Take this however you want.
Make the weekends count.
Don‘t be a fool.
Trading is a blessing, but a nightmare until you find profitability.

This Wall Street trader said one thing controls the entire S&P.
Not price action. Not order flow. Not the Fed.
One indicator that 90% of retail traders don't even have on their screen.
Here's why he won't trade without it ↓
Dylan trades at a real Wall Street prop firm. Real desk. Real capital.
He's been using this same edge for years.
"If you stripped this away from me, I would have a hard time analyzing the S&P."
That's a Wall Street trader saying he can't do his job without one tool.
Here's what it does:
It shows you where institutions are actually positioned.
Not where they say they are.
Where their money is.
When it moves, the S&P follows.
It's directly tied to the algorithms.
90% of S&P futures volume is algos.
And those algos trigger buy and sell programs based on this one indicator.
Back in February, Dylan saw it hit a key support level on a Thursday.
The S&P had just failed at all-time highs.
And it had sold off four out of the last five Fridays.
He went long with a 15-cent stop.
6 to 1 R. The S&P dropped for weeks after.
He didn't predict the top. He just read what the market was already showing him.
Simple setup. No clutter. Just context most traders never look at.

(must be following)
Talked to a trader who placed top 3 in the World Trading Cup...
500% return in 12 months. Trading futures.
Asked him what separates the top 1% from everyone else.
His answer will change how you see the markets forever:
"90% of traders lose because they're trying to predict what the market will do before it does it."
Fabio spent years doing exactly that:
Break of structure. Wait for retracement. Enter at the order block.
Sound familiar?
He kept getting stopped out. Over and over.
The win rate he expected? 70-80%.
The win rate he actually got? Nowhere close.
Then he asked himself one question that changed everything:
"What if I'm not reading what the market is actually telling me?"
See, most traders treat the market like something to predict.
Fabio realized it's actually an auction.
And auctions have rules.
And price reacts to these rules.
The problem?
You can't see any of this with candlesticks alone.
So he focused on the actual orders hitting the market in real-time.
His model became brutally simple:
Step 1: Market State
Step 2: Location
Step 3: Aggression
That's it.
The result?
His win rate jumped 20-30% overnight.
His stop losses got tighter.
His risk-to-reward went from 1:2 to 1:5... sometimes 1:10.
He stopped predicting. Started reading.
The craziest part?
Even on his worst days... he breaks even.
On his best days? He compounds.
That's how he built a top 3 World Trading Cup finish.
Not home runs. Consistent singles.
His final message:
"Stop trying to cage an animal that isn't meant to be caged. The market adapts. YOU need to adapt with it."
Order flow isn't magic.
It's just seeing what everyone else is blind to.

This trader made over $1 million in a single month trading options.
He's an 8-figure verified trader.
But when you look at his trading journal, something's off:
Most traders have dozens of trades every week.
Red, green, red, green. Small wins, small losses,
breakeven days that add up to nothing.
Brando's journal looks completely different.
Weeks of nothing.
Then one massive green bar that makes more in a day than most traders make in a year.
May 2024: Over $1 million profit. One trade. Two weeks.
November 2024: $400K+ profit. One setup. One month.
The pattern is clear: He doesn't trade often. He trades right.
Then he noticed something about his biggest wins:
They all happened after major news events.
The pattern was obvious once he saw it.
So he changed his entire approach.
Instead of looking for trades, he started looking for moments.
But he wouldn't enter just because price touched a level.
He'd wait for the catalyst.
When a major level lined up with major news, that's when he'd act.
May 2024. S&P bottomed at 5,000.
Most traders tried catching the exact low & get chopped.
Brando waited.
Price defended 5,000 twice. Then Nvidia earnings—up 25%.
Inflation cooling. That was his signal.
Two weeks later, S&P moved 200 points.
Over $1 million. One trade. Two weeks.
Most trades either win big or go to zero.
But the wins cover months of patience.
The hardest part isn't finding levels. It's sitting on your hands.
Some weeks, nothing. Some months, nothing.
That's fine. Because when it sets up, he's ready.
Most traders have 100+ trades per month and stay breakeven.
Brando has 5 trades per year and made 8 figures.
The market rewards patience more than activity.
