Real trading confidence didn't come from winning more. It came from keeping promises to myself. Green days feel good, days when you follow your rules build long-term trust!

@devender_fx Good luck getting back on track. Sure you'll be back stronger for it in the long run! I have a free tool that helps you track your discipline and process if you're interested. Not pnl, just 'did I adhere to setup/risk/rules'. No worries if not of course, and all the best 🙏

Pulled 10/20k months and even 100k+ last year… Now trading a 50k eval.. sounds crazy, but I need to slow down and focus on process over outcome. March was brutal.. lost $1.5M in funding from reckless chasing. Back to base hits. That’s what works.

Happy day. Two trades two wins and out for the day. Can't ask for more than that!

@OptionalHellcat If it plays any role at all that would honestly make my week/month/quarter!

@Will_CalmEdge I have money for the down payment already! Need to find consistency where I don’t full tilt, and I’d go buy one! Calm Edge is gonna help me do it!!!

I was taking a walk yesterday & passed a Cadillac Dealership. They had a beautiful Ford Shelby GT 500 on display in the front of their dealership. Something changed in me… The snake logo… The lines… The styling… Something spoke to me… Maybe the Hellcat isn’t me destiny… APRIL FOOLS!!! Hellcat or ☠️ Let’s ride!!!

My April result across 2 prop funded accounts and 3 evals was an average of 1.35%. By no means by best month but it was tricky out there! Main thing is it was green, and nothing went pop.

Not sure this pump gets reversed so easily. Can see a bit more upside here in the next few days

I used to get myself into trouble thinking about why the market was doing what it was doing. I'm a daytrader, I don't care! I stalk price and way for confirmation either way and short or long accordingly. Creating a why also creates a bias.

Made a few changes to the CalmEdge app including ability to edit logged trades via pen tool @OptionalHellcat Can also add time and date so Ai can detect patterns as to when you're most likely to break your rules, and a calendar to see visually where you've adhered to rules and process.

@RomanianUSA I'm so sorry 😔 When you would do anything for your kids, I'm sure it feels heart wrenching that you can't physically do more to help his body fight this horrible illness. Keep up the good fight, i hope so much for your family and your little boy he beats it once and for all 🙏

Closing in on one year of battling leukemia. Most kids have monthly hospital visits at this point yet we still have to go weekly, things are going good but not good enough. Uphill battle but what else can we do? I feel so heartbroken not only for my son, but also for my other kids that are being dragged to all these appointments and having to accept restrictions on what we can or can’t do. Trading with a scarcity mindset just like I used to. If you’re a praying person, say one for me, I need it 🫶

@wannabechamp Taking a full stop! Neither ideal, but I would always choose making money over losing it. Analyse why we took early, try to modify behaviour next time

What hurts more: Taking a full stop. Or watching price hit target after you exit early?

Had to go through my tilting procedure this afternoon 😤 Still learning to hit the button earlier but definitely saved me some money. Made my money in the London session but just couldn't leave it alone. DOH!

@tradertheory What, you mean you can't pay $89 for a $50,000 account and then withdraw the $50k? I KNEW props were a scam.

This is who you're trading against.

The bottom? Not sure, but I was ready to long there Friday. Turned out to be a Sunday night trade. Would be surprised to see a bit of a squeeze here but equally no signs the bears have gone away. Nevertheless, day done ✅

@0xReflection And the chances of winning 14 consecutive 2/1 punts are......1 in 21,536,290. Good luck everyone!

All you need is 14 flips: $100 $350 $700 $1.4K $2.8K $5.6K $11.2K $22.4K $44.8K $89.6K $179.2K $358.4K $716.8K $1.4M…show more

Agree on the bounce. But I think we inconceivably keep bouncing. I don't think this is "the bottom", but I don't think we've seen the top yet. I don't think earnings in the biggest growth companies will weaken enough, a weaker economy will offset inflationary pressure of oil. So I think we end up cutting rates with one more sugar rush. But, who knows. I'm certainly not wedded to the theory!

My newsfeed general consensus: $SPY a near term 2-4% bounce before the next leg drops down to $600-$610. Is everyone getting this too? Or what is your fintwit newsfeed feeding ya?

You'll never get good data if you aren't disciplined and follow a process. So you're totally right, but I think people don't even get far enough to meaningfully test whether they have edge or not. I think people are scared of finding out their strategy doesn't work, so throwing in the odd tilt is one way the brain avoids the pain of finding out. They just look at the good days and think it will work if they just sort of their discipline. And so the cycle continues.

“Every strategy works” is the dumbest thing traders say Sure, a super disciplined guy with 1,000s of hours of chart time might be able to get a slight profit with a bad strategy But he could make WAY better returns if he started by trading a strategy that actually has a good edge Some strategies are simply better than others

@profitpapi1 @Polymarket 4 - 4.5, so an increase of ~3. The straight's capacity is 20. So it's a start, but that's all it is.

@Polymarket What was it at before the war? Is this any meaningful difference?

BREAKING: Saudi Arabian pipeline that avoids the Strait of Hormuz is now pumping around 7 million barrels of oil per day, its full capacity.

@dontbsalti It doesn't matter to a degree whether he or anyone else is legit. Charging $6500 is nonsense, and I wish people would stop paying it or even half that. You can learn for free from legends like @LindaRaschke or @TomHougaard on YouTube or in countless documents they've produced.

Since you charge $6500 — Unless you plan on explaining to us all what happened to your topstep accounts, and why you’re trading micros on a paper account. Stay out of my replies.

@CyclesFan One of their problems is the shifting sands around social media. It's not going to get the free ride it's had for the past decade in terms of regulation globally.

$META - As I posted last week the downside target for an intermediate term low is the yearly S1 pivot at 494 that is near the 2025 low at 480. Keep in mind that META is the cheapest big tech stock with a forward PE of 17.39 and a PEG ratio of 0.78. Fundamentally, it's a bargain.

@great_martis Dropping this level doesnʼt mean it goes to 70$, does it? One poss is the 200 day in confluence with a weekly trend dating back to 2022 bottom. Roughly 120$. Still a big correction!

NVIDIA✨ As I have mentioned over the past several months, the all important level of 170 must not and cannot be breached. If the distribution window is not recaptured, the pent-up energy built over the last few months will be released in absolute and unapologetic fashion. What has led bull markets usually ends them. Ladies and gentlemens, this is not a test run. This is not playful banter. This, my fellow traders and dignitaries, is the........ MOMENT OF TRUTH Yours truly, The Great Martis✨
