$NQ changed my life. 5 months ago I had $0 to my name and I started getting consistent payouts as a day trader $25k USD later I still work part-time at a mall food court in BC🇨🇦. Here's why — and what I'm building 🧵

@lucioTS3 🙏

@james6live Following along for the continued journey!!!

Going into 2026 I had nothing. Since then I’ve received over $30k in payouts and turned my life around But I’m just getting started Here’s my story.

@Cryptodawg95 Can't unless you have a copy trader I just hopped back and forth on each account for the entries Pretty scuffed

@james6live Congrats, How can u copy trade while trading on tradingview

Just made 3x what I made at my job today with $NQ 3 more winning days till payout +$285 X 2 50kFunded

@Tokenicer Change appearance in lock screen to dark mode

@james6live How do you get those black app icons?

@DSNPFOREX Tradovate

@james6live What broker

@Opus_Trad3r You might be right

@james6live It was never $NQ it was simply your determination to win. The trading instrument is irrelevant.

@MaferdCapital Just gotta be slick with it Made sure manager wasn't looking💀

@james6live Bro how did you even take that trade on 1min while at work? 😭

@DynastyAxe The way I was trading just didn't work long term I found myself getting small wins but nothing ever close enough to even think about having it as an income Couldn't find a consistent strategy to trade BTC so I decided to try out futures & found my home there

@james6live Awesome thread man! Refreshing to read stuff like this. I’m in a similar path now. What made you change from trading Crypto to trading NQ and resetting to learn everything from zero?

@TomasBleu Totally feel you Feels like its just a matter of time before the dreams become a reality

@james6live Keep it up bro- this is me.. I was grinding 75 hours a week. Saving and it helped me start getting consistent payouts. I cut my hours down to like 40-50.. it’s not enough to go “full time” but it’s definitely starting to become life changing.

@WCJCapital Ain't no way....

@james6live Is that Mayfair maybe we live close by

@aldw3n Great to hear bro Time to get those payouts rolling 👊

@james6live Same here I’m also from VAN. I started trading last year Aug. Just pass my 2 XFA 3 days ago. Cheers..

@GQDeuces Nah lmao You're not too far off though

@james6live My Asian brother. Is that Guildf

@whotfisnakamura 😂👨‍🍳

@james6live food court chef trader arc will forever remain undefeated

Making internet money for the first time genuinely changes your brain chemistry. Once it hits your bank account, the old way of thinking about money — trading time for dollars, celebrating small wins — just evaporates. You stop thinking from scarcity. You start thinking from abundance. It's why founders become so unemployable after. Once you reach that level of thinking, it's almost impossible to go back to a job where your effort is capped by an hourly rate. E-commerce, digital products, high-ticket sales — anything where you get paid for your output, not your hours — it fundamentally alters you. And it's especially powerful if you grew up in a household where money was never talked about. You don't just make money differently. You become a different person.

@Soft_pips Trading in general about like 2 years Props/futures I started July 2025

@james6live How long have you been trading if I may ask?

@Reigs12 @notJohnthebtist Super solid Pricing is really good & payouts are quick I've never used Take Profit but have heard good things about them

@james6live @notJohnthebtist How do you like alpha? I'm funded with lucid and take profit

@Ye_Lotto_Trader 😭 Always naturally got straight As from elementary until high school Once university rolled around it all fell apart But we always learn to find a way🙏

@james6live You look Asian. How is this possible?! lol - sorry had to. School can not be for everyone, I understand.

@notJohnthebtist Passed my first eval with Topstep But currently I’m using Alpha Futures & Lucid Trading Both IMO are best right now to get payouts

@james6live What prop firm did you start with? I’m looking to start and hopefully pass an evaluation.
