the people who make it in trading aren't the smartest they're the ones who refused to quit after the worst week of their life

most people don't lose money because their strategy is bad they lose money because they take 5 trades when their strategy only had 1

the funniest part of being a SWE who trades is I write better code when I lose in the market like my brain goes "okay that was really dumb let's at least ship something smart today"

unpopular opinion: prop firms are easier than trading your own account because you have actual rules forced on you

woke up super sick today. said I was only going to trade evals especially with war news caught one short +$40,718 across 9 eval accounts sometimes the best days happen when you have zero expectations lol

Just a PSA: I'll be getting back to EVERYONE'S dms on X and Discord this week I'm so sorry lol I have like 300+ unread dms so if I haven't gotten back to you I will this week I'm almostttt done with my website so I can relax a bit after that and get caught up!!

the longer I do this the more convinced I am that being good at trading is 90% being able to be bored

Be honest, who full ported longs ahead of news 👀

TRUMP AGREED TO SUSPEND THE BOMBING OF IRAN FOR 2 WEEKS phew lol

the traders who survive aren’t the most talented ones they’re the ones who learned how to lose without spiraling march almost broke me today I was down $34k and finished green that’s the edge

been getting DMs asking how bloop fits into my trading model short answer: my model tells me WHERE to look for a trade bloop tells me WHEN the momentum shift is actually happening model says where and bloop says when :))

bloop pro is live on tradingview - 7 day free trial if you want to see it in action whop.com/biz_bjm1gmqJu0nmPV/…

the prop firm model makes more sense than risking your own capital when you’re starting out I’m running 5 lucid accounts - they’re 50K direct funded so you skip the eval entirely which relieves pressure lol they have 40% off through may 17!!!

code AW for 40% off :)) link below lucidtrading.com/ref/awtrade…

this being something that’s trending shows how scary global politics are right now no matter what political party you’re affiliated with

what’re everyone’s guesses for Trump’s ultimatum with Iran?? does he extend it or follow through?

down $34k across all accounts after a loss in asia last night and another this morning waited for a third setup took 200pts ended the day +$1.2k barely green but I’ll take it one good setup erases hours of pain this is exactly why I follow a model - if I were freestyling I would have revenge traded into oblivion lol (a story in 2 pics)

dropping a free PDF tomorrow that breaks down the foundation of how I trade it all comes back to one cycle: external liquidity -> fair value -> external liquidity on the other side high level overview and the deeper breakdowns/full course come after :))

the worst part about trading futures is ___
