sage08

13th Mar'26. #sage08weeklypnl Will be going on vacation to Japan with the fam for 10 days from Monday. I don't plan to trade but need to ensure that i do not break any inactivity rule. All 4 props have their own unique rules. As for trading, I am still struggling with old habits such as overtrading and emotions. I feel I am making some progress so that is a good thing.

6th Mar'26. #sage08weeklypnl Regardless of the PnL, last week was considered an important week. Was down $460 by Thursday. Extremely unsettled and upset. Totally burnt out physically and mentally. I know if I continue down this path, there can only be one conclusion. I would certainly end up in a hospital with some chronic disease. There are signals that your body gives such as low quality sleep, elevated resting heart rate and for me the most obvious one is gut stress. Took a step back. Audited my trades and emotions. Came to realisation:- 1. Overtrading/oversizing. Solution:- widen stoploss to 40 points. Trade 1 MNQ instead of 2. DLL set to $200 per day. 2. FOMO/Chasing price. Solution:- wait for price to come. Look for FVG/upper band of MA. Stop FOMOing base on hindsight trading. 3. Pressure to perform. Solution:- Lower target. Only $600 per month or $150 per week. 4. Fear of market/money > fear of God. Solution:- Audit emotions. Put God first. Experience His grace. Acknowledge spiritual battles happening around you. Point 4 is the most important of the lot. Spiritual battles happen around you. Ephesians 6:12 described it as:- ""For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual wickedness in high places". Emotional awareness is essential. Whenever I displace the fear of God with fear of Money, counter it by praying and claiming His grace. It helps to just step outside, grab a cup of drink and chill with the Bible or just meditation.

27th Feb'26. #sage08weeklypnl The week capped off a mediocre month of trading. My mind was also pretty messed. My Amp futures swing trading account suffered a bad blow that took out the profit from previous month because I mistakenly had a standing order for ES instead of MES which I unintentionally left open before going to sleep. It's a series of unfortunate events because I never have a standing order open before ending for the day and I never trade ES. The fact the these 2 happens on the same day is wtf! I thought I finally had it going after a great run but what rotten luck. Was trying a strategy which on hindsight was deployed before without success. The one that suffers from too many paper cuts.

@SeongWooIQ300 Done

@AremjiGames The lighter version is better. More contrast.

Changed the color of the ocean to be darker. Not only is this closer to the real thing, but it really makes some of the abilities pop! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

20th Feb'26. #sage08weeklypnl The week was mostly disrupted by Chinese New Year. One trade on Thursday and a couple more on Friday. Hope to see more action this week.

13th Feb'26. #sage08weeklypnl Chinese New Year, the biggest and baddest festival for me falls on the 17th February. The chores leading up to the festival are quite exhausting to say the least. This can be anything from extensive multi-day spring cleaning, changing "new money" for ang pows, booking CNY eve dinner food to travelling to distant land to stock up on goodies to name just a handful. I am finally able to catch my breath to make a status post here. Back to trading.. Losses may look big but going forward I will be taking more risk and bigger losses. Some of the trade were uncharacteristic but I blame it on CNY distractions. Hopefully better days ahead.

Jan'26 #sage08MonthlyPNL Ave P&L/acct. Out on vacation for a 5 trading days that straddle over 2 weeks. Traded badly on the week I came back. Still mostly profitable for the month. Somehow my live account was in small negative. Got 3 new $250K PAs. @ApexTradeFund +$190; 50K x 8 +$137; 150K x 7 +$106; 250K x 5 (3 New) +$217; 300K x 3 @TradeifyFunding +$120; 150K x 7 @EliteTraderFund +$481; 50K x 2 @TradingLucid +$317; 150K x 5 @NinjaTrader -$19; Self funded

6th Feb'26. #sage08weeklypnl Lots of wild price action swings last week. The tradovate rate limit was at some crazy low level last week. I think it got hit at like less than 500 - 1k transactions. I had to avoid moving my orders too frequently considering I am trading 35 accounts. That accounted for the diff with my live account. On the prop firm front, 2 of my legacy tradeify accounts got deleted temporarily. These legacy ones allowed up to a limit of 7 PAs. I think their system did a sweep and ended up deleted them since mine is probably one of very few that have not blown yet. Kudos to their support Bryan who went out of his way to get these 2 back after a few back and forth correspondence. This is a wake up call that I can't hold these sim funded PAs for too long. They are not meant to be held this long. It's the same story with my 5 ticktick trader STF where they did a rug pull. Strategy wise, saw some interesting patterns by big boys. Got some DD/SS indicators back on my charts.

@DamnGoodTrading Heck, keep resetting. Never stop believing!

Roasted these tpt pros first day back to live streaming with a classic 5 hour marathon ☠️ Do I just keep resetting the pro accounts and rinse thru payouts etc or what 🤔

@KB_BTA @ApexTradeFund Finally! I believe this batch you will finally get to build the static buffer. Just be patient and respect the DLL man.

Whoaaa!! 🚀 Finally cleared the trailing drawdown on these @ApexTradeFund $300K PAs! Shorted NQ when it was rejecting 21 ema and Vwap with 50 pt SL and took the advantage of this selloff. Mostly, I may not be trading them tomorrow after going above the buffer. @sage08 Bro, I need to get them to payouts this time, and I still remember you asking the question, and I blew accounts without the payouts Honestly, once these PAs hit static drawdown with @ApexTradeFund, it’s insane. 🔥

30th Jan'26. #sage08weeklypnl This week was a write off. Was too distracted with Australia Open tennis to bother with trading. I did activate 2 250K PAs. I have also set up Oanda to dabble with some Forex swing trade.

Finally got this guy to pass. This concludes a series of 9 300K/250K passed evals. All 9 were passed on the back of 32 $19.4 evals. Super efficient. Heck yeah. That's how it should be done. When I first started I had series of 20 x 250K and then 20 x 50K and try to slow walk these accounts over a few rebills. Lol. Learnt my lesson.

Got another 2 more 250K to pass which I will be activating. One more on the way. These are from 6 evals I bought from the irresistible 90% sale early Jan.

23rd Jan'26. #sage08weeklypnl Finally a full week of trading. Starting to see some consistency in terms of weekly P&L. Gone were the days where I had 10 consecutive trading weeks of losses. Out of the last 6 weeks, 5 were profitable. So, I've been trading PAs since November of 2024 without any payouts. 14 months of staring at the charts and doing nothing else in terms of active income generation. Trading is indeed a quagmire for many esp young adults. It is incredibly difficult to get out once you are in. I am glad I discovered trading at the tailend of my adult earning life. However, I do enjoy every moment of it and of course the potential of finding the holy grail of trading keeps me going.

16h Jan'26. #sage08weeklypnl Got back from vacation on Tuesday. Tuesday to early Thursday was loss days though I kept them small. I knew I was rusty after 7 full day of not trading. Got back to profit on Thurday only to give them up Friday and more. I felt I didn't trade badly on Friday but some risk management helps. Activated a new 250K PA to replace a 50K which was blown.

@AshenOne @grok which other games are Ubisoft cancelling?

Ubisoft cancelling the Immortals Fenyx Rising sequel will always sting. It was one of their most promising IPs in years. The world, the puzzles, the art design… everything had so much potential.
