I'm gonna be a little vulnerable with you guys here....
I AM NOT making this post looking for anyone to cheer me up
"awww poor millionaire mike"
Give a pep talk
Look for sympathy
I promise you that is not the case I don't want that at all
Many of you look at me for inspiration but I wanna be real with you too
You guy know because I just mentioned it recently that way back in the past I struggled with drug addiction after my fiance cheated on me
Even went homeless lost my mind for a bit
Lately the pills have crept back into my life...
I had some personal stuff happen in the last couple months that honestly fd my mind up a bit
I consider myself mentally strong....but it was alot had a setback
Trading wise everything has been AMAZING im up alot on the year and in fact this month i've uncovered so much stuff about price made so much leaps in progress it's insane
Been profitable for years and I genuinely feel like I leveled up to another place this month in regards to pa and my understanding of price action
Even my content I truly feel has leveled up BY FAR
My teaching has leveled up
So everything is good in that regard no problem at all there. I'm productive
But I struggle with insomnia at times....comes in phases. After all that personal stuff happens which I do prefer to keep private...
My mind is a machine that sometimes just doesn't fuckin turn off
So I turned to pills which help... but now it's a bit out of control
I take INSANE amounts on xans every night (20 mg) sometimes more
To some addicts that may not seem like alot....but it's way beyond what is healthy tolerance continues to grow and I know it's going to be a battle to kick it
If you have dealt with benzo withdrawal you already fuckin know. It's the definition of living hell
Wouldn't wish on my worst enemy you legit are convinced you are going to die my anxiety through the roof I hardly can talk constant shaking don't wanna even step outside because it's too overwhelming
Everything is so intense I can't even put into words how bad it is
I can go on and one
Don't fuck with it if you are like me and have an addictive personality
So what's the point of the post if im not looking for a pity party because I know most don't give a fuck about my problem and many have wayyyy worse shit to deal with
The purpose of the post is no one is perfect even if they portray to be on social media
I still live my dream life im a multi millionaire I trade fulltime I travel the world and now I get to help others do the same
Im so blessed beyond measure and many would kill to be here
But I have my demons still...
Oh they don't leave for good they come back at your low moments when you get hit by life and try to deceive you
the devil....that mfer is real
That guy or gal you see acting like everything is all roses and sunshine most of em....they hiding something
Not everyones demons are the same
But we all got em
Just don't let em destroy you
I know myself and what I have overcome and I will beat this too....once again
ANYTHING you are battling with fam....it's not here to destroy you but to build you
Because at the end of the day pain does only two things
Makes you weaker or stronger
The choice is yours
Mine will make me stronger

@DaveTradesOpts I'm not really sure what a time based range is, but it looks like we are onto the same thing.

@TraderSumo1 Then it would depend on how much they cost. But honestly, 1 is probably enough to get the job done.

What is a better prop account, and which do you prefer?
10K account: $350
10K drawdown
10micro starting size (scale as you profit)
3K min profit target (3K cashout)
15K profit cap.
No consistency rule.
Or
150K account: $550
6K drawdown
10+ minis starting size.
9K profit target (3k cash out)
30% consistency rule.
English

@Drevaxtrades 💯 It doesn’t happen everyday, but this is one of the most consistently reliable “mechanical” models.
English

The Hardest “Easy Money” You Can Make...
SMC, simplified:
If bearish at the open → wait for ORG to trade into the 0.75 quadrant or C.E.
If the first P.FVG forms below C.E. →treat it as an IFVG entry.
Risk to C.E.
Target previous session sell-side liquidity.
Reverse for bullish.

@M1Trades22 @ZenomTrader I am doing exactly this. With zero coding experience it took me only 3 weeks to find and optimize a robust and profitable strategy. It is 100% possible. Just pay special attention to rigorous backtesting methods.
English

@ZenomTrader whats your thoughts on attempting to code and backtest strategies through claude - with little to no coding experience? would you consider it possible?
English

Jim Simons’ fund was trading tens of thousands of strategies.
I realized I’d been thinking about this the wrong way the whole time.
I was focusing too much on individual strategies instead of on how fast I could test and discard them.
I asked Claude Code to autonomously code strategies for me from scratch. It compiled them, debugged them on its own, ran the backtests, and came back with results. I did that over 500 times in 2 months.
Most were garbage. Twelve survived. A full hedge fund in a single file.
A normal trader tests maybe one idea per week, 50 per year if they’re serious. I do 50 in a day.
Jim Simons didn’t win by having the best single strategy. He won because his team could test and discard faster than anyone else. As he put it: “If everyone is trying to solve the same problem, don’t do that.”
I don’t need a team of PhDs. Just Claude Code on a laptop.
The rest are still watching courses from scam gurus with no verified track record.
Probably only 0.1% of the industry is doing this.

@tradermike1234 I’m trying to be like you Mike. I lost 13k on Friday because my analysis was wrong. I was blinded by ego and over traded. 😔 I will be taking drastic measures to prevent that from happening again.
English

@I_Am_The_ICT I wasn’t watching your stream, but I also walked that dog using analysis inspired by your teachings.
English

@tradermike1234 Question for you Mike. I’ve been trading for a few years, recently became profitable. However, my strategy is discretionary. I’d like it to be more mechanical as a way to detach emotionally from my trades. Have any tips?
English

@tradermike1234 I’ve heard a lot of traders talk about how meditation helped them, but I never understood why. It sounds like you’re saying it improves your emotional control and/or reduces impulsive behavior. I still struggle here, but I am working to improve. I’ll add this to my practice.
English

@DiegoBTrades This was my entry. I would have entered pre market but I was anticipating a false swing to the upside first. Got in short as soon as I could see that wasn’t happening.

English

There has been a lot of talk on X today about fake gurus or furus taking advantage of naive traders. Having been in the space for a while, I can vouch for a few that are the real deal. They each have different strategies and are all profitable traders. So if you are looking for legitimate guidance, check these guys out.
