@ihytage You count on stupid people to buy your discord for a $90 a week when you're never posting any chart. Those people didn't go to college for sure !! 🤣

You can turn $800 into $10k in less than an hour with this market and people still think you need college to be successful , LOL.

Here's the exact entry trigger I use on every trade. 📊 Step 1 — Wait for a 15min candle to close above PDH, PMH or below PDL, PML. That's the signal. Not a wick. Not a touch. A confirmed CLOSE. 🕯️ Step 2 — Drop to the 2min chart and wait for price to pull back and HOLD. 📈 Calls — pullback and hold ABOVE the level and/or 13 EMA 📉 Puts — pullback and hold BELOW the level and/or 13 EMA That's your entry. 🎯 Why this works: ⚡️ The 15min close confirms real momentum ⚡️ The pullback and hold proves the level is now acting as support or resistance ⚡️ The 13 EMA gives you a low risk, defined entry point You're not chasing price. You're waiting for it to come to you. Patience is the edge. 💪

Taking a break from trading until October to focus on my Engineering studies and making some great summer memories with my family. I'm still positive overall in payouts versus what I've spent on prop firms, but lately I stopped following my trading rules and let greed creep in after a very strong June. The market will still be there in October. Time to reset, study, enjoy the summer, and come back with discipline.

@Praeenz @TradersConf True !! My guitar teacher is a bilateral upper-limb amputee and he's killing it. 💪

@TradersConf You don't have to be a good trader to be a good teacher.

I am an unprofitable trader for 5 years. I started selling a course on supply and demand and it’s now generated over 235k in less than a year.

@cantucapital Love the annual bonus !! Need to wait in February for mine.

high key considering using this year’s annual work bonus to fund a live account. it’s either that or put the lump sum into my ETF base. maybe 50/50? I got a few months to decide 🤔

$MNQ strong rejection at resistance and all EMAs. Entered at the 15 mins engulfing close with a cheap APEX eval. Let's see how it goes.

Eval passed !!

$20 away from getting a new funded account. Eval started on Friday morning. If I pass, the funded account will obviously be traded with smaller size positions. If I fail from here then I got a problem 😄

@TonnTonn61 Friday I got lucky shorting 10 MES during Trump Twitt. Target reached in like 5 mins 😄 Tonight was shorting 5 MNQ but price action was easy after 1st 4H close. I usually size with 5 MES or 2 MNQ max on funded. If not I'm too emotional and trade badly. On 1 eval I care less.

@edge_skunk I like the Topstep snipers 😃 2 days 2 x 1500. But should you change your trading after getting funded ? Keep sniping every day.

@narcisofa I made some good Brazilian friends while I was traveling around the world. Vamos Argentina !! 😄

@edge_skunk What a game! I’m Brazilian, but I’m fully cheering for Argentina at this point

My wife's from Argentina and we know what we're doing tonight 👀 🇦🇷

@dotjosh Topstep is good for me 👌

👨‍🍳 Daily payouts, (still) up to 150k in funding and way more trader payout flexibility.

@ItsJayCook @Topstep I like Topstep tbh

Interesting that @Topstep never makes any of these lists..🤔

@MSTARROHIT @Alpha_Futures_ This sucks

From max funded to waiting for a refund… @Alpha_Futures_ plot twist I was max funded with Alpha Futures through their Premium accounts. Then they updated the rules evaluation consistency became 45% and prices were lowered so I bought 10 x 150K Premium accounts. Now Alpha Futures has announced that all Premium accounts are being discontinued. They’ve also removed Tradovate and NinjaTrader and are offering refunds to everyone who held Alpha Premium accounts. Let’s see how long the refund process takes I’ll keep you guys updated.

@DenizTheTrader Between 14 and 53 mins on average

If you always enter a trade within 15 minutes, you may be trading impatience, not the market. How long does it usually take you to enter your first trade?

@lanto_trades I heard the refs are getting paid in XMR to make sure Argentina wins without any trace

This FIFA corruption is fucking insane. England player baits a foul in the PENALTY BOX, no card. Switzerland player baits on the defensive side of the field, RED CARD. Pure fucking Argentina garbage.

@KayCapitals Do you think that's why the trading space stinks so much ?

Trades are like farts. The ones that you just let flow are usually the best, If you have to force it, it’s usually 💩.

@NoRiskNoPremium 👀

Everyone's looking for a better indicator. I deleted mine. One setup —> the 15-Minute ORB + PDH/PDL —> has produced countless 100%+ SPY trades. No scanner, no signal service, nothing else. The edge was never the setup. It's knowing an A from an A+. Here's exactly how I trade both:
