Here it is, 56 day win streak @Tradeify . Took 5 payouts from this $150k S2F account as shown. Still baby step trades but content with it at the moment. Before I get bombarded with "what's your strategy" just let me say; I'm still quite new to this, started last April with my first eval. I'm not great, I'm not rolling in money (yet). My trades aren't massive wins. I've had good mentors and was also fortunate to be home full time, homeschooling my children which gave me the time to put into the charts that many who are trying to do this alongside a job just can't do. So you can't compare the timeframe of my success to yours...situations are always different. I put in at least 3,000 hrs in my first year of learning and paying to play. My "strategy" is not a one model deal. It's learned intuition based off many models and indicators that have conditioned my brain to act on PA in a way that I found works for me. I'm quite certain that my experience in playing speed chess, 1 minute games , over the past 10 years (over a million games played) have also made a huge impact on how I quickly pick up patterns, analyze in the moment and make the move. Once you learned majority of openings, strategies, patterns on a chess board you know longer have to think so much about it, you just know it and can act, you can see a checkmate from many moves out. It makes it really hard to define exactly how I trade since it's not always conditional. This is what I mean by learned intuitional trading.. after you absorb so many strategies and put them into practice you begin to just see it in the PA and not so much thinking goes into it anymore. My largest jump from just doing okay to "making a living type money" started once I dropped what everyone else was saying what I was supposed to do, what rules they think were best, what r/r, time of day.... all of it which are other peoples perspective and experience with their trading. I just like to trade how I want to trade and ignore all the " but this is how you are supposed to do it" . It's all definitely helped me, shaped me and gave foundational skills but eventually I think you have to make it your own. None of them were wrong, but what works for me may never work for you and what works for you may never work for me. You'll find the way where you end up just doing you and it comes from dedication to the time in the charts and learning through many mistakes and rough times. I'm not teaching, only thing I teach is chess to a local group of homeschoolers. I'm not an affiliate, I don't care about followers or any of that. I just enjoy trading, I enjoy chess, enjoy the life I have and don't mind sharing a bit of it. I always sincerely hope the best for everyone! I was a multi-millionaire in my 20's, I went bankrupt after the 2008 collapse (was in real estate). It's taught me a different perspective of money and maybe one day I get back there, maybe not... doesn't really matter as I just go day by day and remain grateful for whatever I do have. Geeze, I wrote to much, idk what happened on this post lol.

@DodgysDD My peacocks

@DodgysDD So like posting my pet deer?

Going to be completely honest, if you’re above the age of 40, you’re going to attract a whole other audience by just being real, posting your life, family etc And it’s not going to attract 18-30 year olds like I do, it will attract an older audience who is more willing to pay for mentorship etc That’s why Jadecap, Tori, Casper all have such successful mentorships because not only do they get hate from you guys to keep them super relevant, they are also a little more trustworthy than someone like me But by you guys hating on their mentorship you are essentially giving them attention and make the relevant which makes them more money The only downside of my age is most older people don’t trust me because they relate “kid = no experience” and that’s something I’ll never be able to fix until I grow/look older unfortunately I have some older audience but mostly younger

@DodgysDD Building a guest house

@JoeyMorganNQ I've been on micros for 2 years now. I don't get why people think they are beneath them unless they are trading with a massive bank roll.

People used to hate on me for trading micros. Now everyone talks bout trading them 😂

I've been to Hawaii, Aruba, st. Thomas, tortola, Puerto Rico, multiple Mexico areas, ecuador, all across the states, lived in wealth, lived with scraps, homes larger than necessary, homes smaller than really needed. Life without kids, life with kids. Successful and bankrupt. The one constant through it all is that there really is no place like home. Whatever that may be at the time.

@rebeccaatrades Where's the course? I'm in.

40K payouts last week and no payouts this week… That’s the life of a trader!

@DanladiAl Forged by thousands of hours in the charts experiencing every emotion possible and pushing through failure with a passion to get it right. I still have a ways to go.

@LivingLikeChess How do you stay disciplined and consistent?

And another

@rebeccaatrades Brings up another interesting take... my ROI is roughly 800% this year so far. Those numbers put you around 315%. My ROI is higher BUT I'd prefer having your amount of profit🤑

to follow up on my previous post 👇 Q1 SPEND on props: $27,180 and some cents PAYOUTS = $113K It's hard to look back and see the majority of that spend is within 4-5 days of pure tilt... definitely something to work on but I think the ROI is pretty good.

@rebeccaatrades Incredible!

Closing up Q1 with $113K in prop firm payouts. WOW. I never ever thought I’d say those words. Beyond blessed 🙏🙏🙏🙏

@rebeccaatrades The side most never show. It's always the payouts but not the cost for them. ROI is key! I'm okay with the idea that I spend more=i make more. I haven't gone to crazy yet this year though, about $4k in spend for $30k in payout. Probably going to step it up soon.

Finishing out the month with a record PR for payouts but I tilted twice with my credit card so my spend was a lot higher than february. All-in-all, green on the month, but it goes to show that high payouts don't necessarily mean high ROI.

@AmasPFT Just the last 5 days did for me but we embrace it and push forward!

March price action humbled me

@chijiokwukwem I am good! Having an excellent month even with blowing a couple accounts.

@LivingLikeChess how are you Ryan

I blew my tradeify live account but I feel so good about it that it's almost weird.

@profitchil Yes sir.. going to enjoy my break!

@LivingLikeChess Doesn’t blowing a live account put you on a 4 week timeout? lol

@DanladiAl There is a reason for that high WR.. the flip side of this strat is losers can be big if ranges start getting blown out.

@LivingLikeChess How is that possible with you insane WR?

@AB84 Helping someone else through their difficult times. Nothing else compares to this.

Without drugs... what is the greatest weapon against anxiety and depression?

@_TradingTeacher Mainly because I know what comes next.

@LivingLikeChess why do you feel good about it?)

@CRT_femme Absolutely and still do depending on account type.

Me : yes You ??

@WojakBoi Interesting take!

@LivingLikeChess The loss chemical Addicted to losing, fear of winning Nervous system only relaxes fully after total loss. total Relaxation but depression > begin to get faithful again (feeling good).. etc cycle repeats

Similar to husbands thinking when they come home from a long days work that the wife should let him have a break. In reality, the wife had the harder job being at home and caring for the kids. The primary caretaker is the most important job in the world, all other jobs exist to support the care taker. I'm the stay at home dad and I can say that the last thing a husband should do when getting home from work is take a break...na, the wife needs the break, step it up.

Visited my mom yesterday. She asked me to do something and I said ''Can't, I'm too tired.'' She replied ''You're tired? I just came from work.'' Bruh.. Why does my family act like trading is not real work? I really don't get it.
