@bennie_wel Yea but X is anonymous and full of trolls and idiots. I have a dedicated partner in real life which builds a stronger bound and mutual accountability. I imagine its hard if you don’t have friends who trade

@warli_87 Hence why I regularly share on X, but this is interesting. I want a partner like that. I think I can find that in the Discord.

Last week was a premise and already clear signs of changing market environment (and I should have known with closing Hormuz) and this week was a pure butchering for me. It took me a week to realise and try to argue with the tape.
How do you spot these changes and do your job?
English
@bennie_wel Evaluate your usual setup's winrate vs current one for example on weekly basis. If you spot some degradation, especially if you are a high frequency trender, you should notice that something is off. Self-reflection is the key
English
@bennie_wel Truth to be told, it's quite difficult recently. Usual high odds setups are either hit'n'run for a quick scalp or get a violent reversal. Just yesterday my ~80p gain on Dax reversed without any pullback. Just wait it out, spare bullets for better times
English
I’m having a real hard time navigating trading this week people. It’s one loss after the other it seems. I make the wrong assessment of price and borders start to blur and staying composed starts to become a challenge. As a measure I scaled back in order to survive. (1/2)
English
@karaoke_andi Well, I had a price perfect entry, literally 1 point of drawdown and DAX decided to roundtrip to my entry after I've added 😅 scheiße
English
I waited almost an hour for my DAX long order to get filled. Didn't happe. I went all out in the gym. My shoulders are still sore. In weeks like this it's something wiser to stay flat. See you tomorrow.
English
@CapitalPundit @Trader_Dante Well, could be worse. He could have made a grocery list of the chat with you
English
Well...
Now I wish I didn't block @Trader_Dante for spamming me this shit whilst I am busy trading.

This morning I have finally closed the Gold short I took on 3rd March.
It’s been the biggest trade of my career.
I want to thank everyone in EFL who sat through it with me and had to listen to me talking about it incessantly. As I said at the time, I was a long way outside my comfort zone.
I’ve made tens of thousands of trades across 25 years. I’m in at one level and out at the next. I’ve held something like this only a handful of times.
I should feel elated. And part of me does.
But I’ve spent the last three days writing my book and reliving a lot of painful times. This morning I’m too numb to feel what I probably should.
That’s trading. That’s life.
English
I’d feel bad if I didn’t hold it again next year because at this point in time, I feel like I’m basically running a charity 🤣
Vince@viince98
@Trader_Dante i guess this means efl27 is not happening anymore🤣
English
@karaoke_andi Either we learn to walk away or we make so much damage that there is no way out. I also walked away today, oddly being in small profit … fucked 3 times today
English
3 years ago, I asked Tom Hougaard about TILT and if that ever happened to him.
It was just a short exchange on Telegram.
I want to share this with you.
Karaoke Andi:
Man I was on TILT today. Could stop myself from doing too much damage, luckily. Forced myself away from the screen. Does something like that happen to you still?
Tom Hougaard:
NO
I walk away

WE WALK
----
Tom answered me personally. So I thought long about it.
There are many guys out there who make more money than me, who analyze the markets better than me.
But one of my best qualities is to be able to walk away.
Price action is choppy? I walk.
I fucked up? I walk.
I am not 100% focused. I walk.
Flat is also a position.
Hope that helps.

@karaoke_andi Definitely typical pre-FOMC behavior, thou I've managed to find decent setups yesterday. Sometime best decision is stay out of the markets
English
This is what DAX has been doing: printing overlap bars during my active trading time. Dow was basically trapped in a sideways movement for the whole session.
If you don't mind: I will stay away from the charts for the rest of the week.
This is bullshit.
English
I am getting so sick of seeing people blatantly breaking rules on prop firms and then the first thing they do is run to Twitter and play the victim!
LEARN TO READ THE RULES BEFORE YOU BUY PROP ACCOUNTS!!
Be better!

I GOT BANNED ON @TradingLucid story: I made a promise to my Discord we’d run a 0 → $10K challenge with a prop firm the community chose. They voted @TradingLucid So we ran it. From eval → funded → $10K payout request in just 10 days. Over $20K in total profits. All done LIVE teaching entries, stop losses, and full execution while people followed along and learned. Then… I got banned. All the accounts get closed Reason? “Fraudulent activity” because people were copying my trades. Let that sink in. If I was losing money, they’d have no issue. They’d gladly collect from me and everyone using their platform. But the moment we win? The moment we hit payout? Now it’s a problem. There are thousands of traders streaming, teaching, and having others follow along across YouTube, TikTok, Discord but somehow it’s only an issue when you’re actually profitable. Instead of honoring the payout, they labeled it fraud and shut it down. 0/10 experience. I was genuinely excited to work with them… but this showed me everything I needed to see. If you’re thinking about using them think twice.
English
@warli_87 Good job!
Definitely a harder session... one of the reasons can be FOMC tomorrow, and who exactly wants to push the market directionally before that?
Regarding dips, check VWAP, then make fibs on entire session, and on the RTH (wink-wink)... some bounce was there...

Market makes sharp throws up and down - still in the balance - careful with pullback trades
This trade example was NOT an usual Upthrust over PMKT High, and 2nd attempt.
M. NOTES:
Futures Gap Fill would mean a test of /23,605-620/ - and also would be Upthrust over PMKT High.
English
@karaoke_andi Knowing DAX I’m pretty sure it will firstly fuck us before going anywhere 😆
English
@karaoke_andi A consolidation before a breakout. Hope that helps, cheers
English
We are professionales.
We are supposed to use the right terminology here.
THE FUCK IS THIS PIECE OF SHIT PRICE ACTION???
English
@Innerspect @Trader_Dante When was it? I attended both but do not recall
English
@warli_87 @Trader_Dante FP is a fossilized concept. @Trader_Dante completely rubbished it in the last two #edgesforledges in Jan and Fab. And he thought something brand new--PFC. In case you did not attended the latest EFL, you missed something absolutely xR ripper.
English
@florance0578 @Trader_Dante My thought process:
- is there visible key swing low? ✅ 1.3253
- are we extended? ✅ past ATR
- is there key point where we might retrace? ✅ 1.3283
- is there an hourly SFP? ✅ 1.3252
- is 24h ATR + wick as SL with acceptable RR? ✅ 0.85
Then it looks like SFP signal 😄
English
@warli_87 @Trader_Dante Calling that an SFP is interesting. Pretty sure that’s definitely not how @Trader_Dante teaches this setup
English
@CapitalPundit @Trader_Dante No, I rarely trade it at all on hourly TF, first time in few months, dropped due to inconsistent results on my end. Works best as daily bias
English
@warli_87 @Trader_Dante Have you been able to make that setup work consistently over time ?
I tried but I was shit.
English
@j_stredder @Trader_Dante Lovely! Same pair, yesterday - IDF with draw on liquidity as well, have you got it ledge?
English
$USDCHF
Peach of a setup today playing for a draw on liquidity. Executed with absolute surgical precision, for +1.27R.
Plan the trade, trade the plan. @Trader_Dante
