Hit the $100k milestone in payouts for 2025 this week! About a year ago my bank account was negative, had $50K+ in credit card debt, had to sell our house end of 2024 to pay it all off. I grinded doing Uber, Doordash, dog walking, anything to help pay the bills over the past few years after quitting my job and moving to AZ to give trading a real shot (wife’s idea 💡 lol don’t recommend it until you’re profitable). I even got my life insurance license towards the end of 2024 and I honestly thought that was going to be my career and my trading was done. I had a couple good months $10k+ doing that but it was a grind making 100-200 calls per day I didn't want that for myself. Then I had a tough streak of getting zero sales on sales calls that I thought were slam dunks they all seemed to fall through, it was the weirdest thing.. I took a step back and thought maybe this was God/The Universe telling me not to give up on trading. So I said screw it, I'm going back to trading to give it one more shot and I stopped doing insurance altogether. I had a little success then I lost more again and thought I maybe made a mistake to stop insurance because my bank acct was getting low again to the point of maybe going back to insurance/ubering. Then things started to click for me right when I needed it the most around the middle of this year 2025. Payouts started coming more consistently for me literally out of nowhere. I visualized and felt the success I've been having lately probably thousands of times. If you're struggling you have to find a way to get in the energy of your future successful self. You don't get the success and then the feeling of it, you have to feel successful first and have that identity and then your outer world will align in time after lots of action/effort too. It takes time and focus and lots of patience and perseverance but if you stick with it you can make it happen! As I've said before I was literally the worst trader ever at one point, but slowly have started to figure things out so if you make the decision to start doing things the right way, start following your rules and system, put your head down for a month, forget the PnL, and literally just FOCUS, you can turn your trading around like I did. Wishing nothing but success for everyone on here, I know how hard/dark/painful trading can be but if you don't give up and continue to learn from the pain you can turn things around too! 💚

Just hit the $90K mark in payouts now for 2025. For anyone struggling, just know I was probably the worst trader in the world at one point making every single mistake you can make daily. Oversizing, overtrading, not taking profits, adding to losers. Anything wrong you can do I was doing it. The hole I dug was so deep that even a nice green day or week didn’t feel like any type of progress because I was down so much over the years over six figures easily after my first few years. But eventually you get to the point of being so sick of your own bs mistakes that you keep making over and over and over that you finally decide to start doing shit the right way and take the long hard road instead of trying to make everything back in one massive home run trade and taking a shortcut. Only once you fully let go of the past losses can you actually focus on building some good habits and start to slowly dig your way out. It took me about 5 years of losing before I’ve finally been able to have some success so if you’ve been losing for a long time just know it can get better but you have to make a commitment to yourself to start doing things the right way or you’ll keep self sabotaging. The slow way is actually the fast way. Stop trying to make it all back and just focus on being a little better every day. Forget the $, just focus on following your trading plan and rules. That’s your only focus. You become a winner in your mind before it happens in your real life so start acting and feeling like a winner today. Every day is a clean slate, forget the past, you control your future. Choose to be the person that does things the right way. Do the hard shit. Do what others aren’t willing to do. This game is hard for a reason or else everyone would do it. Believe in yourself. I wish nothing but success for EVERYONE!💚

Followed this up w/ a -$1k per acct day today. As I said knowing when not to trade is important in this game. But actually stopping is the most important part even when you know you should stop sometimes our emotions get the best of us. Learn from the pain & come back better!💪💚

One & done today on NQ. Took the small W and called it. Not great PA today. Knowing when to not step on the gas is more important than knowing when to press. These are the conditions that blow accts if you overstay your welcome. Youtube trade review coming. Have a good day! 💚🙏

Hoping we don't get a big gap up/down before tomorrow's 930 open.... pretty simple gameplan for tomorrow. Love when we get a smaller range day cuz we usually get a decent move the following day if it breaks...

I was already done for the day at this point but this was a clean setup today on NQ that I pointed out in the free discord. Textbook short on the PDL retest near 9ema with nice bearish engulfment then a green to red entry after a wick retest on PDL.

Good bounce back day & solid way to end the week! Took one loss to start but kept it small. Caught shorts once we came back inside that range from yesterday & held under PMH/9ema. Biggest error was adding back too soon, took some heat but 5m wicked/held under PMH risk level💚

Emotions got the best of me today in this volatility. Hesitated on the best setup of the day on that wick retest of 700 level around 1030am and spent the rest of the session trying to make up for it. Ugly day but will be back at it tomorrow!

One & done today on NQ short back under premarket CPI high level on a nice green to red move back under 9ema. Scaled out half into strength then closed 2nd half near PDL. Off to go hiking with the wife! 🏜️ Hope everyone had a good day! 💚 PS made a youtube video for more detail..

@SG6223 Yeah but if I have a good Green Day it should usually be above that anyways so just trying to not focus on it moving forward and just trade normally. Long term will work out if I stay patient

First trade of the day was solid but I only used 1 micro on mnq then I kept trying to hit the $250 profit target for Apex 50k PA's & way overtraded. Make sure you guys don't fall into that trap like I did today! I ended up hitting it but I went back to red before. Lesson learned!

Bottom 2 accounts are my only funded accts right now. Hoping to get to a payout on them and then try to pass the others which are only a few hundred away. My day's P/L disappeared before I came back to make this post, that's why its blank but around +$270 per funded acct today..

First trade of today was on ES & was a solid win on 1/2 & second 1/2 took breakeven, it happens.. We had a strong push up with EMA's aligned bullish then formed higher lows back near 9ema, took ES long on move back over PMH/engulfment & aimed for PDL.

Long on NQ this morning. Had a nice push above premarket high. I wanted to go long on first pb but the PDL was right above so I ended up taking a long on ES instead. But once NQ reclaimed above and came back to the PDL / 9ema I took it long. Scaled & trailed for a nice W.

@tradertheory @mss_jones @edgeful Dumbest question you’ll probably get, but using Trading View, is there a way to get an hourly candle starting at 9:30 and ending at 10:30, or I assume you are just saying, take a look at 10:30 price and if it’s higher than 9:30, you know you have the best stat of the two, right?

HOW NQ'S OPENING CANDLE PREDICTS THE DAY When the 60min open closes green → 78% chance the daily closes green When the 60min open closes red → 71% chance the daily closes red If you're trading NQ, the first hour gives you the bias 3 out of 4 times. (5 years of data via @edgeful)

Most important & underrated skill in trading… walking away🚶‍♂️ Whether you are green after one or two trades, or maybe you hit your max loss for the day it’s usually best to stop 🛑 either way. Most traders myself included if they continue to keep trading will make things worse either turning a green day red or turning a manageable red day into a blown acct. Learn to be content in either scenario and focus on the long term. Small red days happen. Small Green Day’s are fine too. Key is avoiding the blow up days. Make it a goal to build resilience by focusing on walking away on small red days and build confidence that you’ll come back from it over next few days no problem. I’m still working on this myself so don’t feel bad if you struggle with walking away on red days. But the goal is building that confidence that you can come back if you keep it small and accept not every day will be green. Learning to be ok with drawdown is necessary if you want to be consistent in the long run. The less you trade, the less time you spend at the screens, the better your chances of avoiding disaster. Preserve that mental and emotional capital. #lessismore #bestloserwins
