Maverick Trader

Most of you are trading to escape a life you hate. I'm trading to honor a process I love. That difference alone will determine whether you make it. 1/n

I know a dude making $1.2 million a year trading a simple support & resistance strategy. Doesn't watch podcasts. Doesn't read books. Doesn't journal. Doesn't waste time on social media. He has a system and executes it flawlessly every single day. Takes ~3 trades a week and risks 0.5-1.5% per trade. You don't have to be a genius to make millions of dollars trading.

@Ashleyhays2089 True but what is normal and was it ever actually normal?

I cannot do surface level conversations. I don’t know how to relate to people who don’t see what’s going on. Who still think life is “normal”.

@MP214Trades @L2WTrades Sort of except you have 100k plus leverage to put on the line

@L2WTrades Actually it’s 3k, because if you go below that your cut. It’s a scheme.

Prop firms will literally give you $150,000 to trade if you pass one test Not a loan. Not an investment. Not your money at risk. Their capital, your profits. There are companies right now handing complete strangers six figures in trading capital for a $300 entry fee and nobody talks about it because the finance industry would collapse if this went mainstream And you're out here risking your own $200k of personal capital with no system. No checklist. No filters. Just vibes and a chart I've worked with traders who lost 6 figures of their own money because they never had a framework. They knew the concepts. They could explain fair value gaps and liquidity sweeps to you in their sleep. But they had no process for when to trade and when to sit out. So they traded everything. And lost everything Here's what they don't want you to understand: The test is simple. Hit a 6% profit target in 30 days without losing more than 3%. That's it. That's the entire barrier between you and $150,000 in funded capital "But I don't know how to trade" No - you were never guided in the right direction You watched 400 youtube videos from 12 different gurus who all contradict each other. You learned 6 strategies and mastered none of them. You spent $4,000 on courses that gave you concepts without structure You would rather lose 6 figures trading alone than invest in building a real system with someone who actually trades That's ego. And that ego is expensive The difference between the traders I work with who get funded in 60 days and the traders who blow accounts for 3 years isn't intelligence. It's that one has a system with defined filters and the other has "knowledge" with no framework "But I'll fail the test" Cool. You lost $300. Try again. The maximum downside is a dinner bill. The maximum upside is $20,000+/month in profit splits Compare that to risking $50,000 of your own money with no system and watching it disappear over 6 months. You didn't even get a dinner bill. You got a lesson that cost more than most people's car Let me break down exactly how these firms work: Prop firms make money from the 90% of people who fail. That's their business model. They charge $300 per attempt and most people can't follow rules for 30 days. The firms are profitable because human psychology is predictable. Most traders are impulsive, overleveraged, and emotional The 10% who pass get funded. The firm gives you real capital. You trade it under specific rules - maximum drawdown limits, position size caps, daily loss limits. You keep 80-90% of profits. The firm keeps 10-20% The math that breaks people's brains: $300 challenge fee -> pass -> $150,000 funded account Make 3% monthly -> $4,500/month Your 90% split -> $4,050/month from ONE account Now here's where it gets insane: Buy 5 challenges for $1,500 total Pass 4 of them -> $600,000 in funded capital 3% monthly -> $18,000 Your cut -> $16,200/month From fifteen hundred dollars. While the guy trading his own $200k account just had a -8% month and can't sleep And most firms let you hold multiple accounts. I know guys running 15+ funded accounts simultaneously. They trade the same strategy on all of them. Same setup. Same execution. Trade copier across every account. One morning session. One entry. 15 accounts. Same trade The system that passes challenges: This is where most traders fuck it up. They think passing a challenge is about trading well. It's not. It's about filtering out the trades that don't deserve your capital Before you enter anything: Is the 4-hour candle supporting expansion? Small wick? Opening in the right direction? If not - no trade. That day is eliminated before 9:30 Did the previous session reverse? If London reversed, you're trading continuation from a gap. If nobody reversed, you're trading the 9:30 reversal. The 6AM candle already confirmed which one Do the correlated assets agree? NQ breaks out. You check ES and YM. If they don't follow - the breakout is fake. You skip it. One check. 10 seconds. Saves you $1,200 Is the gap in the right zone? Within the upper half of the previous candle's range. Close proximity to the opening price. If the gap is deep in the range, the candle won't support expansion to your target V-shape confirmation on the lower timeframe? Expansion in. Displacement out. Gap forms. If no V-shape - no entry. Doesn't matter how clean the level looks 5 filters. Each one eliminates a category of losing trades. What's left is 1-2 trades per day with a 60-65% win rate and 2.5-3R average winner That's not hoping. That's a system. And a system is what passes challenges in 15-22 days while the guy with "knowledge" blows his third attempt A trader I work with had been trading his own capital for 4 years. Lost $180,000 of personal money. Knew every concept. Could draw levels in his sleep. Zero system. Zero filters. Just entering everything that "looked good" 3 months after building the system with me: first funded account. $100k. Passed in 18 days His total cost: $300 challenge fee + the coaching investment Compare that to $180,000 lost trading alone He didn't need more knowledge. He needed structure. He needed someone to tell him "don't trade that candle" and "check the other asset before you click" That's the difference between trading with a system and trading with knowledge Knowledge without structure is the most expensive thing in trading This is billions of dollars in available capital sitting there waiting for anyone disciplined enough to pass a basic test You need $300 and a system Not $200,000 of personal capital and a prayer One path risks a dinner bill with $20k/month upside The other path risks your life savings with the same emotional mistakes that already cost you 6 figures Which one makes more sense? (free discord in bio. live every morning before the open. if you think you're a good fit - DM me "SYSTEM" for 1-on-1 coaching. i only take on 1-2 traders at a time to work with fully private. spots are limited because i actually trade and can't scale this beyond a handful of people)

@HarrisonHSmith if people want to say the Bible is not a factor today...exhibit A. this entire position is based on powerful Americans like Cruz who think that God will enrich whoever blesses Israel.

Ive watched this like 10 times now. She’s like a total psychopath.

@CryptoWendyO it was terrible what happened, but no lives were or need to be ruined. There is a road for her to regain dignity and success with the help of a healthy community.

What this loser accomplished in the last 24 hours - Destroyed an innocent woman’s reputation - Said sexist and racist things about his WIFE - Disrespected ALL real survivors - Ruined the rest of his life I hope JPM and the Exec sue him for EVERYTHING

@MegynKellyShow @theisabelb @priyaee the only piece of evidence needed to prove this was fiction was her use of the word "canons" to describe her own breasts.

"This guy shouldn't be a banker he should be a fiction writer…”   @theisabelb and @priyaee on new details raising major questions about male accuser's “sex slave" claims vs. female JP Morgan executive. Watch below, and subscribe:

@SolLunix So basically our government today?

What kind of criminal are you? —Jordan Belfort the real wolf of Wallstreet

@gabriel_horwitz What idiot believed this in the first place? She called her own breasts "canons." LOL.

Turns out the story of the year was just...made up. and it gets worse. - John Doe is Chirayu Rana, 35, now a principal at Bregal Sagemount. he left JPMorgan and went straight to private equity. - The whole "threaten his bonus" premise collapsed. Hajdini reported to a completely different managing director than Rana. she had no say over his compensation. - JPMorgan pulled phone records, reviewed emails, interviewed the full team. found nothing. Rana even refused to participate in his own investigation. - A colleague described Rana as "socially awkward" but someone who "met the requirements" to stay at the bank. - Before any lawsuit, he tried to negotiate a payout in the "millions" to leave the bank quietly. they didn't bite. - He filed court filing, then his lawyers retracted it for "corrections" and deleted it. But the Daily Mail already ran the whole thing and the rest twitter did its thing. so he tried to get paid, didn't, then filed a now-retracted complaint against someone who couldn't touch his bonus. wild. feel terrible for her and her family.

@lanto_trades @DaveTradesOpts Agree with @lanto_trades here. Dave seems like a good trader, a good person, and also someone with an axe to grind.

I like you Dave, but disagree there. Most trader who have been trading on props for years have used it as leverage. The ultimate R/R. It’s great for leveraging your skillset with not much risk. Live trading is the end goal, but props have always been a great tool. I think options trading is good, but most are fake or don’t show the full truth.

Only know 2 traders in this industry who have consistently risked most of the their income in trading due to ACTUAL conviction in there trading. The rest, no. I’ve met over 300+ traders.

@DaveTradesOpts @OptionsWithDave You don’t trade it because it’s too easy? Am I reading this correctly?

I don't trade Gold because it's too easy of an asset to trade (FX too). I gave you all several levels on my page @OptionsWithDave where it is SOLELY for LEVELS. 4555 was given to you as a Higher Timeframe idea. A Time-Based Range got confirmed and... well. $GC $XAUUSD

@DaveTradesOpts Whoever it is that does need to hear it, might want to hear about which options you are referring to.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but… YOU DO NOT NEED TO TRADE $SPY $QQQ $SPX $NDX or 0DTEs to build a small account. There are so many other options (no pun intended) to choose from that can scale your account quicker. Your options account growth can be calm and easy.

@andrew_nfx Funded

I’ve scaled to $6.7M in prop firm funding and $2M+ in payouts I just wrote a guide on exactly how I approach prop firm challenges and get payouts Comment ‘funded’ and I’ll DM it to you for FREE (must be following me)

@BaapofOption Why is this upside down?

One candle sets the bias. Liquidity creates the move. Patience defines entry. Most traders rush. Professionals wait. Same logic everyday, same execution.

@NancyMace hang by balls

Should child r*pists be executed by firing squad or hanging? Pick one.

@lady_valor_07 Transcendent

@ItsTraderLuke 1

Traders… How many losses in a row would blow your account? Drop your number below. Be honest. Your risk model is showing.

@aas_ker Healthy relationships, meditative prayer, physical activity, healthy food

without drugs... what is the greatest weapon against anxiety and depression????

@lanto_trades much easier to have someone pay you as a fake trader than to make $ as a real one

Just seen someone in my room come in, trade for a couple months, get there first payout, then started there own discord right after. Can't make it up 😭 Feel like there are more teaching traders than actual traders at this point.

@Marcus_Mosher I'll be honest and say I don't know enough about these players and the new scheme to feel any way except curious. Downs seemed like a get.

How are we feeling about the #Cowboys draft?

@RealSkipBayless Skip doesn't even understand football. Probably doesn't even know who these guys are. Just zig when cowboys zag and get attention. oh wait, I'm giving him what he wants!

I'm out of step with this Cowboy draft. When I watched the U, corner Keionte Scott always flashed. Edgy, twitchy blitzer-battler. In 4th rd, Dallas took Fla corner Devin Moore. I like his height/length. But always looked a little heavy-footed. 2 picks later, Bucs took Keionte.
