Positional Advantage

@bnimble_jack @dontbsalti oh trust me I get it.

@psitionaladvntg @dontbsalti The difference being these guys get tons of free accounts on commission from referrals as well so they do the same shit but can just keep buying new accounts meanwhile these young kids following are burning through their doordash money

Simple logic. If a trader— who makes millions— has a system that truly has edge and isn’t just variance, then everyone in his discord should be profitable as well. If the people in the discord are not, then what does that mean?

@jacktradesnq good. I recommend this most effective relaxation technique.

@psitionaladvntg im locked lol

Long but because im a bitch i decided to fuck up the trade myself.

@Emmonspired @RijhwaniSheetal indeed

@psitionaladvntg @RijhwaniSheetal It’s a long process. But at the end of the day you can look back on your past while having a smoke and a coffee and realize you know yourself better now than ever, and know you can still make it thru anything that comes your way. That confidence can’t be bought. Only earned.

Why do so many men immediately believe they can fix things they've never fixed before? My uncle has never worked as a plumber or an electrician. Never repaired anything professionally. Yet somehow, whenever something breaks in house, he acts like he's been preparing for this moment his entire life. He has an entire collection of tools for reasons nobody understands. Yesterday, something in the bathroom broke and water started leaking. We told him to call a plumber. Instead, he spent an hour watching videos, looking at parts, using tools and muttering things nobody understood. At one point, the situation looked significantly worse than before. But quitting was never an option. It becomes a challenge. And challenges are very hard for men to leave unfinished.

@Emmonspired @RijhwaniSheetal hey man. Just posting here to let you know that your recent post on your profile really resonates with me. I have been going through dark times and I am on the verge of that freedom. Trading IS a way out but the struggle is deep.

@RijhwaniSheetal We experiment, research, learn by doing, and watching those that already know. The brain is capable of learning and applying knowledge if you are not lazy

@dontbsalti I literslly shorted off last weeks HVN. I got stopped before it ran back toward the target. Goddamn :(

@psitionaladvntg i was asleep

Short target of 504s in $ES hit followed by a 25 pt reversion. Thanks for playing. Dont say I never warn you I cant trade tho, thats why my sizing is adjusted to vol and my entry/exit are clean. No studies, I just use alphabet charts + DOM. Thanks that is all.

@dontbsalti O

@dontbsalti thank you for not outsourcing your brain.

Working on a fun Substack article. Sometimes I wish I was ok w just AI sloping it, because these do take quite a bit of time to outline // write

@SillyTheKid0x lmfao this is hilarious

Today I did the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. My wife and I took our 5 year old son on a road trip to Disney. What we didn’t tell him was that we actually lost the house. We didn’t know what we were going to feed him or where we were going to live. The drawdown on BTC destroyed my families finances. I invested everything we had in BTC. I packed up the car with what items we had left after selling all our other worldly belongings on FB marketplace, and we hit the road. The plan is to stay with my wife’s parents until we can get back on our feet. About 7 hours into our trip, I pulled over to a gas station in just about the middle of nowhere. I pushed my son out of the car behind the gas station near the dumpster riddled with mice. “That’s Mickey and his family” I told my son, he’s going to take care of you. My wife didn’t protest. She knew we didn’t need the burden of another mouth. We drove away with tears in our eyes as the rodents over took my infant son. I wish I’d never touched crypto.

@solo_trader wow nice level! What was the green zone? The best I could do for that short was using the prior RTH profile VAL.

Told some traders the top red arrow was my pivot before the open Told them I was targeting the blue arrow area Pointed out a short at the lower red arrow Told them it'd bounce at green No questions, no comments, no curiosity, just silence. I think some of them are still stuck in pure price action trading mode, and literally one of them has reached out to learn more about how I incorporate different views into my trade decisions You can put yourself in a box and refuse to expand your mind and get left behind, or you can learn how long-time traders operate I put myself into the "price action only" box for WAY too long. It can be done extremely profitably, but why make your job harder than it needs to be?

@solo_trader I personally have a hard time finding resources to learn about this aspect of the VP. Any recommendations?

@psitionaladvntg Composite, shape of previous days, what areas need to be filled in, where would we be attracted, etc

"My model said it was a good trade" Look, I don't know what to tell you, other than your basic "model" of trading only: LVNs HVNs Support/Resistance Delta divergence FVGs iFVGs Single prints VWAP Is a flawed methodology from the jump You can't trade any of these the same way each time. You have to understand the story that the market is telling you. It's not meant to be skimmed over or read via CliffsNotes Trading is about having a confluence of variables and understanding how an auction typically develops and expands/fills in prior auctions...and how all of that can be read through the lens of the above things (except FVG/iFVG because gross)

@MrZincx Hey @MrZincx , when are you announcing the winners of the giveaway?

Huge recovery day. Held shorts on $NQ to IB low. $139 x 5 to end the day. Longest trade I’ve ever had clocking in at 4 hours.

@dontbsalti @notadvice based and stay-the-fuck-away-from-me pilled

@notadvice Idk I avoid sharing same air as people quite regularly

Hey y’all how ya doin how’s ya mama’n’em?! Quick question, why is everyone getting syphilis lately and can y’all maybe idk… NOT?

@PeterLBrandt 100%

A harsh reality Are you out to turn a little into a lot in a hurry? Look folks, there has been tons of research done on the success rate of retail traders. By exchanges, regulatory agencies, brokerage houses, trading platforms, academic researchers and the like. The numbers are in and you are a fool to begin with if you think your are an outlier -- although all retail traders think they are outliers (and they usually are on the left side of the bell curve distribution). Expectations and eagerness to trade for the sake of money are inversely correlated with success. Sorry, but true (of course except for in your dream world). You want to turn $50k into $5 million in five years? Well, go for it if you that is your dream. But know that professional career traders in zero-sum markets (like futures, day trading anything and crypto) plead with you to trade their asset class. Please, I beg you to trade futures (my asset class). Fresh meat is always welcomed. Maybe you are among the 2 in 1,000 that can with a few years of experience achieve back-to-back-to back-100% years. I do not want to do anything to prevent your effort. I wish you well. In 50 years I've witnessed many try. Or, do you have realistic profit expectations and want to become excellent in some niche of market speculation? Then you have a chance. But your chance depends on your ability to protect your capital and avoid big losses. Here is the reality folks -- the real world where 99% of us live. Pick your asset class. Now have adequate capital (the amt is disputable but I use the figure of $50k). Next know that no matter what you do it will take three to five years to even pick up the scent of where your excellence might be hiding. Your challenge will be to develop some scheme or system or approach that is repeatable. Every successful trader has a different method. No exceptions. You cannot copy anyone. There are reasons why I won't go into. You might have to try a few different approaches to find what methods are suitable to you. But here is the HUGE challenge you face. You will have to keep your capital intact (relatively speaking) or have deep pockets to get through the three to five years of the steep learning curve. You will also need to avoid the fast talkers who want you to believe they have your answers. Following are appeals I received via email in just the past week from "reputable" trading services (these are verbatim): -$10,000 into $30,417. 14 out of 20 trades doubled -that's a 1,004% return in 6 days, turning a $605 bet into $6,684 -1004% on UMAC - +100% on BBAI in a day -See how stock flips could have made $92,000 in one year! -Soured 1,025% in just six months -convinced this could be this year's next 1,000% You fall for these lines, you are done for. Another reality is that not everyone is made for crazy success in trading. Most people would be better off living frugally and putting as much money as they can into a 50% SPY, 30% fixed income, 10% energy and 10% precious metals portfolio and let it work over time. Then pursue a day job that excites you. So, don't be conned by the circus acts that promise you the moon. Trading is hard work. Tedious. Boring often. Stressful. My standard recommendation to most young people is to get an education in a field that you like and where jobs are available. Like welding. Or supply chain management. Or engineering. 98% of you young folks will thank me for this advice someday.

@Jigsaw_Trading @naeteyy lmao

@psitionaladvntg @naeteyy Can't help you. I have no idea how I managed to pocket type that. I suspect my daughter.

Traders used to be afraid of the 1m timeframe Now you have people blowing thousands in evals before 10am…

@Jigsaw_Trading @naeteyy ?

@psitionaladvntg @naeteyy Don't firget

@naeteyy @Jigsaw_Trading i respect it. Although I will say, since i've been experimenting with volatility stops, it makes the 1m less stressful. I longed from the open today on ES. I got trail stopped out at 2.96R, but the whole time was stress free.

@Jigsaw_Trading @psitionaladvntg Sub 5m is a distraction for most…
