Trading challenges IS a game.
Play the game.
If you can’t afford a $200,000 FTMO challenge, don’t take one.
You need to be able to beat props at their game,
Being not able to afford the account your trading is literally the positions they want you to be in…

Flat on the day, want to see NQ daily FVG however but I think price is a bit exhausted personally for entries

Every trader has drawdowns, even the profitable ones.
If I let a losing streak destroy my confidence, I would’ve quit before finding consistency.
Expect them.
Plan for them.
As long as you stick to your process during rough patches,
This shouldn’t be an issue.
I see too many traders blow up trying to “recover” losses.

Reminder:
It is fine to not know what the fuck price is going to do next.
You aren’t going to and don’t need to know what price is going to do every day.

Traders who are learning are not intentional enough.
It is easily the biggest mistake I see them make.
Be very intentional with your learning process.
The aim is to build a specific model for your lifetime, not just to learn all the concepts.
That’s how you go in circles.

You AI reply demons are getting blocked starting from now

Lots of red news towards the end of the week, despite Monday red folder.
My focus lies toward Wed, Thu, Fri.
Enjoy your NY session and good luck, good trading.

Every monday morning all you know is this, we manage risk and control what we can.
We predict what the next weekly candle will do, manage risk, and let the rest fall in line.

If I hear one of you saying CME are changing the algo I’m crashing

Lucid seeing me tomorrow - goodnight

Demo taught me entries, not psychology.
If I stayed on demo for a year, would never learn real trading emotions.
Go live with a small $50k challenge.
Just feel it once.
I see too many demo ballers freeze with real money.
And this was me too.

If I had no motion and no fundeds, I’d snap up these Black Friday 50k deals.
Ideally small or no consistency rule,
Cheap but not the cheapest,
No hidden rules.
Stick with that as a general rule and you’ll be fine.

Pressure is a privilege.
Being a full time trader comes with pressure, until you realise the systems you have now are the ones that will pay you forever.

Happy thanksgiving to all you yanks, have a blessed day and enjoy time with family

Here’s what we’re looking for (in order):
Displacement
FVG
Entry
Stop-loss at the swing high (before FVG)
Target discounted FVG or liquidity
Less is more.
As long as your draw is right more times than not, you’ll be fine.

Trading won’t get you far.
At least when you need money.
When you’re operating out of a need for money, this game will slaughter you.
But when it’s out of your systems, now here comes the fun part…

Most traders think journaling is optional.
If I skipped my journal for a month, would repeat the same mistakes forever.
Document everything.
As long as you review your trades weekly,
This shouldn’t be an issue.
I see too many traders making the same errors on repeat.
