The Big Shorty

@LumiTraders everyone thinks they know the market lol

I went long on $ES during my stream today. People in the chat: “She has no idea how to trade.” FU man… how’s that short trade going now? 🤷‍♀️

@jtrader but we’re all oversizing on props lol

If you remove revenge trades, oversizing, and impulse exits. 90% of traders becomes profitable instantly. But those are exactly what they refuse to remove.

Futures daytrader $MES I’ve got 4 kids and a 50k combine to pass, along with 4 more to pass by the end of this year Can it be done? 🤓

@hamxafx @daHSecurityboy @LEGACE_FX literal same thing happened to me last january. Thought, “this is it!!” then hit the biggest drawdown my strategy has ever had. Just know we all risk too much on evals because thats what they are made for. If you actually risked what your suppose to, you would actually be fine

@mvckcollection @daHSecurityboy @LEGACE_FX Man Same thing Happened to me 😭 took me 4 years of to become profitable and when i got funded with FTMO account in April. The market absolutely destroyed me for the first time 6 losing trades in a row and this PA 🩸🥲

If the market continues like this a lot of traders will lose their minds

@AthenTrades this is why I don’t even talk about it with others until I have something to show for it

At some point in this journey, the excitement disappears. People stop asking about your trading. Some stop believing in you. And after enough losses, even your own confidence gets tested. But you still have to wake up, sit in front of the charts and follow your process calmly. That’s the phase that builds real traders.

@daHSecurityboy @LEGACE_FX sadly this is what often happens, pass during good conditions then it changes once funded

@LEGACE_FX I’m loosing my mind already , I put in a lot of work on my self to pass my challenge phase only to witness this after getting funded

@LEGACE_FX mind gone ✅

How you know your strategy is still profitable and you WILL bounce back!

May has been horrendous, thanks to my superior risk management skills I still have my account. 2 weeks left though 😝

Despite all those red days, still ended every week in green and green for month in April

@lanto_trades hot trash

"Yo bro how good was NY session today?"

@MapleStax @kevinxu probably more fun too lol

@kevinxu Facts Kevin, rich friends are better

Honestly, I don’t recommend people to trade anymore You will be sad and bored on the weekends without the market, have no friends, and your mood depends on your PNL. You’ll make a ton of money though

@rahmath369 i think its also important to note that blown evals following your rules is also normal because everyone is over risking anyways. If we all actually risked 1% rarely anyone would be blowing accounts

You’re never going to pass a funded account with a full winning streak. That never happens in trading. Stop trying to avoid losses completely. Funded accounts are passed by traders who know how to take wins, accept losses, and manage risk properly. Your risk management will decide whether you pass the account or blow it. Losses are part of the game.

@Soft_pips just lock in bro

Some of the dumbest trading statements are: - A strategy stops working after too many people know about it. - You’ll never be profitable if you trade the 1min time frame. - Swing traders are the only profitable traders. - Fundamental traders are the best traders. What other trading statements have you heard that make no sense? 😂

@squawk_hawk 2 weeks still left of may lol

Little concerning the dip isn’t being bought as quickly but it’s also end of May and Friday. Monday maybe more or since it’s May we could see selling. $spy

@rotrade93 @FTMO_com exact opposite for me lol

Momentum building. After April which was the roughest trading month in a while for me, May has been pretty nice with definitely a better PA. I am ending the 2nd back to back positive week. Not many opportunities for me this week, just a winner on $GBPUSD on @FTMO_com and some challenges + 2 breakevens on $EURUSD (the one from yesterday was a bit frustrating not going to lie). How were the first weeks of May for you? Have a great weekend !

@Om1zzyy @DiegoBTrades sameeeee

@DiegoBTrades I havent had any fun the last 2 weeks

I didn’t have any fun trading today

@DiegoBTrades all the moves keep happening asian/london session

@ajdoestrading when conditions are good it can take 2-4 weeks to pass. Market is always changing so there can be a time it takes 3 months to pass if you’re not full-porting. If its taking that long not full porting, imagine all the blown eval fees are you are also spending

Spending 3 months babying a prop firm eval is the dumbest thing you can do You're so scared of failing that you trade with no conviction Tiny position sizes, skipping A+ setups, closing trades early just to "protect the account" And then what? You finally pass and trade the same way on the funded account? Pass it fast or fail it fast Get your money or move on to the next one That's how you actually make money with prop firms
