Done for the day ….. another funded account collected
back at the highs
Today has been CHOPPY
NQ seems good
This platform is Tradovate or Topstep ?
Tradovate
Tradovate do not offer funded option am i correct ? sorry but i for now traded forex only but im interested in futures
idk i went long from the lows
hope we retest the breakout atleast
that would be good
🔥
hope you guys followed
nice trade
NQ just retraced, killed my half of the profit, lol
but still managed to do more than 1000USD for today
is there a way to screen for example all stocks in the nasdaq that are printing a buy or sell signal on the daily timeframe?
dont know, may be use TV screener or Lux screener
i am quite new in this future trading, just surviving as of now
okk👍 yeah looking for a screener bc looking for all individual stocks where my strategy is valid takes a while 😆
it was great bounce off the session lows
that englufing candle is all i needed
i entered on retest
yes, it seems, good bounce.
@agile jasper you got the long ?
i am out currently and didn't trade it
took my today's target already
yeah i am done as well
you can get funded with topstep and chose tradovate as a trading platform
how did everyone do today?
Lost on futures, gained on forex haha but i wasn't paying attention to futures so my own fault
All good focus on what you're good at lol
daily dd?
No i stopped at +200 on the combine. But overall for the day i'm down. Might give it another bash once i've cooked some dinner
Learning new fancy works to fit in with the ICT traders and their terminology
jk its what the futures challenge is called
ICT traders... lol
Ill learn futures eventually
multiplied by 5, not a bad day
Whats up with Crude and 1m today?
Pretty good …. Traded 1 hour and collected another funded account
Youll pick it up quicker then most coming over from forex
Nice dude you're killing it
how are you doing on your funded accounts?
I m in vacation and trading on the beach with my iPhone….. so haven’t touch any funded account since on holiday but collecting more.
good move lol
I know there has to be someone that is holding long since the start of the new year?
My goal is to collect 5 to 10 accounts and split the risk of bad trades among them (trading 2 contracts x account) and taking the profit 👍
Is there a prop firm that allows to hold overnight?
Apex?
Probably not since they know more traders can get funded that way
there are for forex
Yep…. I ve got topstep and apex
ftmo got swing accounts
Not futures
fx ?
Maybe ftmo
Nice I am close to my fourth topstep.. going to do same thing . 1-2 contacts per account and spread it out
Yes best way….. I used to like topstep but Apex is pretty good as well
May check it out. Either way 4-5 funded accounts beats using one person account trading 8 contracts at once .. for me anyhow haha. Less risk for sure
And top step refunded me the cost of the combine so got 400 back . Think it ends this month
Top Step is on FUTURES ONLY. Correct?
Exactly
you also have forex futures there
Thank you Caca. I'm thinking of having an account there.
Hopefully this will confirm the LL
evening all
adny idea for nq ?
usually @agile jasper have any idea
i try for long at 15mnt
for micky fure sure his idea change clolor candle
😆
PSA
Public Service Announcement
Dont trade Russell on lower time frames.
I know why they call it the WIDOW MAKER
Moved my TP to 5ticks get the hell out of this

I actually like this color combo

ahhhh seeeeee
pls read my dm broo
hopefully can hit 72 or more than 69
You can post here
Waiting time. No rush.
im just newb analisy... just need guide from all senior
for entry just waiting by block order on pac
too late in the day for movement really
maybe power hour
well note... tks
I am unfamiliar with these indicators on your chart.
Have you tried using Signals & Overlays?
or Price Action Concepts?
yes
also volume is at 19990 (vwap), 20k is a major psych level. we're trading below the volume so you could try a short at 20k. frame out the dump candle and 50% of it corresponds with where the volume for today is
just a thought, not financial advice. i will not trade it because i am done for today
its not indicator ... just using fibonaci only
normal indicator i only use moving avrg normal
taking this as financial advice
well you're already in the money then
OK thats cool, But this is something you would need to create and optimize on your own, as I use the LuxAlgo premium toolkits solely.
I dont trade based on moving averages in it's raw format.
nice dump
who's dumping?
5m NQ not playing games today
171 ticks off the 19990 vwap bro
Helllllllll no
im surprised you even asked
Anything near 100 ticks? no way you will hold that long
#1 VWAP... I havent used VWAP in 5 months lol
#2 10 ticks is the goal me trying to hold onto that crude trade for more then 15 minutes was REACHING
#3 Me never touching NQ
me no touchy the nq
did anyone play the ''bonk'' from 20.065 area. NQ?
I entered short, but closed early like a lil bitch. only 40tcks
me not good enough
truth
Interesting structure move on the 4H ES
no longer pink
do you win with default colors?
yeah
then dont jinx it, stick with default
new lows NQ ES
U right
i bought my EV paid £35k
2 years ago
now the car is worth £15k
BYD is slowly coming out with affordable EV's
so true
Looks like we could see lower prices over the coming days? Still has an untested fvg above. Possible head & shoulders?
opened lower due to the earnings. jobless claims and PCE this week should bring us the volatility.
Good size futures gap. I know it will fill but I have no idea how & when.
smiley struck again
And again

Morning!!
Yass 🔥🔥🔥
Morning ☕
Futures a rollercoaster constantly going back and forth from BE to profit. My own fault though as I’m juggling trading on low times on forex whilst trying to do futures 😅
Lol, are you using the Vwap to trade ?
No my own analysis on TradingView with PAC but my forex strategy isn’t the best yet for futures. Only started trading futures so still learning it. Got more backtesting to do to refine it
whats wrong with vwap?
No, nothing wrong with it. its just average price, not much advantageous to trade.
anchored vwap on NQ works well
you mean anchored on recent swing h/l? Yes, i used to use it, but not any more. Are you also using 03 mins TF on anchored VWAP. I have not tried with 3TF ever.
intraday, was any which ways anchor on each start day session, isn't how this thing work? or i am missing something
3 minutes is not my thing.
what do you mean?
My VWAP -always auto-anchors at the start of the session. this is how it works with me on 30 mins
not sure on 03 mins
this is the phenomenon of working with VWAP and CVD - they anchor auto at the start of the day. this is how I have learned them.
yes but that's an indicator probably but you have the tool to anchor the vwap to any candle you want.
so when NY starts i have 3 vwaps on my chart: day vwap, london vwap and NY vwap
nice, i never thought in this way to trade, but good to see another POV.
I heavily trade on volume. so not much fan of vwap as such.
combine volume and vwap
but it's good to see another POV; it's interesting. I will look into it.
@delicate yew
here you go, volume and vwap. big volume candle
Yes, I have opened a short now
opened a short in Gold, not on NQ
hoping that gold can go aggressive short from here
ahahahah

my favorite comment of the month
True😂
nice set up
you have other indi's on this thing now
just continue to selloff then?
sure
it did contunue to go long for the longest time
now its the bears time in the spot light
🧸
🩳
4H NQ looking rough
same with ES
here's the dump
(searching for the funeral dance gif)
And?
i'm out for the day HAHA
got a 10 tick piece of that ES short
beauty
Nice 👍 but too bad you don’t have the guts to go short at the bell
Hahahaha
I didn’t

👀
what do you take me for a mad man?
a fello gambler?
cheers to u sir.
fr
Yeah we all gamble lol
are we all just degenerates?
comin from microcaps crypto > futures. So yes.
We don't do all that ''PAC'' stuff back wer i'm from. We just ballin on whatever coin has the nicest pfp.
lmao
ATOMUSD for me
I have it staked so its just sitting there I dont even check it
new lows NQ
I meant sub $5m mcap projects
Like the degen-degen. 2.4b is too high for my taste.
I really thought 14 june would've given ''some'' resistance. My rookie brain doesn't get it.
so boring
london has just dumped NQ hard today. i did not looked the charts. it ewas so easy to trade
i missed it
is anyone shorted NQ?
shorted earlier but closed before news.
Ending the day down is the toughest thing for me to do I always wanna keep trading. One of my accounts is up, the other two are down. I am turning off my PC so I am not tempted to overtrade. Just took today as paying the bills 🤷🏼♂️
i did one quick scalp of NQ to cover my smal loss of 300 USD today. I traded gold and it just reversed immediately on me.
Best attitude to have 🙌🏻
Gold was rough today!
not dabbled in gold futures yet or anything other than nq
For real 🔛🔝
Gold can be fickle
it is just pinponging at same zone
gold always rekts me in forex so prob be the same for futures LOL
@sturdy wharf im listening to your speech, and its inspiring. Thanks for that, it helps.
todays, PNL
I appreciate that! It means a lot that I can help maybe try and stop people from making the same mistake I did
Just covered my loss, lol today from Gold
Gold has its moments where you can just run with it on futures other times like today it rejects and sort of breakout and the bounces make no sense 😭😂
Ya true, it was kind of rough run today with gold
sounds like gold on forex. I usually always catch it in the bouncing phase. Not that i've traded it on forex a lot but the times i have has resulted in mainly losses
I wish I held too until I hit my 50% consistency rule but ah well. Profit is profit
Blood bath
i started a long gotta yolo
@sturdy wharf why do u mostly trade GC and CL?
(it's like we're in the stream that i missed
)
Recently my most successful trades with gold have been on the retracements which is surprising
I do normally trade those two with the occasional ES, HG, HE
Oke last question of the interview: English or Spanish?
least your finding out what entries are more successful on gold. I'll be staying away from that gold digger
Dang
Blood Red
🔻
And the Russell
The Widow Maker
🙄
the DOw smacking traders around as well
No joke, Crude is rekt'ing traders so far
not enough to reverse
ohh, when the break is finished?
Nice moves this morning 💵

almost 3% red
in 50 minutes from now
new lows NQ over 3% down day
it is interesting these 3% days are becoming normal now
Somebody was bored of getting higher? Now we've got the same but other way 😆
more blood
There any factor or something to avoid this type of days all my buy signals failed strange
Higher timeframe as bias works well for me.
But I do expect losing days, not every trade, not every day will always be a winner.
Every template, every strategy, will always have losses, just a fact.
This is the time to stay the course and not strategy jump.
Just my advice....

Here is my template I have shown and use everyday for myself
Always the same template for any symbol I watch
Nothing wrong with my bias template on ES here, for me
I use something similar with trend catcher + clouds. They are pretty good.
Sounds great !!!!!
Closing my day with some profit on my 300K challenge. Did blow the first challenge and one reset cause tried to trade 35 NQ contracts…. (Never do that again…) but still wanted to try (account was cheap 😄) . Btw today at least for me wasn’t that easy I like trending markets but today was too much (Nq -3,5% is something I ve never experienced). Was difficult to find liquidities on 1 min TF since it has been months price wasn’t that low. So used 5 min and 15 for references.
I mean there any factor tell if the signals today higher risk to failed like VIX or something i really backtesting my strategy too much today worse day in my strategy in two years
I never ever use signals as my main condition.
I analyze the chart and interpret my direction.
Then Ill use signals to validate what I think.
I have to learn and analyze on my own, I never rely on signals.
Signals are there to validate my thoughts.
@frigid geode Disable the signals, turn them off, and try to analyze the chart on your own.
Try this out...
Bro singals in my setup i dont use signals too i mean i backtesting in two years was work why today just try understanding today to avoid it
nice power hour
Now bounce NQ
It is what it is, not everyday can be a winner.
What timeframe are you trading on today?
What did you make to think that today is a good day for longs? @frigid geode
I agree
1 min but i backtesting 80k bars was great but today bad
Thats is your answer.
Doesnt matter if its 80k bars
80k bars is ony 55 days
You need more than 55 days for back test.
Maybe 3 or 6 months, or better yet, 1-2 years of back tests.
But not 55 days, that is much too low for any backtesting
Ok and yasterday earrings bad so better next time to avoid next day of trading?
This I have no clue on.
All subjective
talk to 10 Wall Street analysts, and you will not get a unanimous decision
Ok great
hope everyone survived the blood
i bought 1 min before market close hahaha
there is no way i pass up -800 points day
biggest drop in years
google in 1 min looks like big middle finger hahaha
in after hours
goog earnings seems good
First day back on funded. Was quite the boring day but I’ll take it
Just depends on the day and what I need to do beyond the charts.
In general, I will hold until the Neo1 flips the opposite direction, and TP will be some sort of level, maybe OB level, or close manually if im trading a new release pump/dump
Just depends
each day is different
Just trade management
Let’s see if Apex will reset my account free…. Come on how is possible a 7500$ loss in 1 second??? Better for them to solve the issue they have with Tradovate. Btw opened a ticket requesting immediate reset
That’s one expensive second
Yeah…. Completely out of this world.. I hope they fix my account .
Winner winner chicken dinner 🍽
Gold got hit as well.
you must have not been next to the beach when you took this trade 
It'll probably be choppy as hell but could it be toppy? Liquidity got swept above, is it time to test the lows or at least the OB? Based on the higher time-frame daily chart, I'm not ready to believe it's a short for more than just a scalp or daytrade.
Wait for volume
volume kicking in in 2.5h
Just checked & the GC daily fvg at about 2350 (within the range) has not been tested at all. 👀
Is this the play you’re watching?
👀
I'm thinking of trying a very small micro short if it pops up to the black Ema (very small like 1 or 2 micro). Also watching ES & NQ.
Cool cool 
If I do get in, I don't believe I will hold it overnight. Just a scalp to either liquidity or a support pivot. If I get 2 then maybe half off & go to BE on the other half to see if it can run. I wouldn't want to see it close above the pivot. What's funny is that the daily chart isn't bearish and there is a case for a bounce up into the emas from S1
However the hourly has been getting the early beat on the daily.
I’d love to see a short at 2408 but I doubt that will happen
You have a plan. That’s all that counts. When to get in and when to get out and when to sit

Hello
hey there 👋
How are you doing ?
just fine, pretty boring day. What about you, new on this server ? 😁
Good luck with Apex! I used to follow their discord but they were going into meltdown with tons of issues and awful replies by their mods blaming the users for everything. And rudely
In case I would be back to top step…. Or mffu. What you guys use?
Are you on 50XFA or ??
Tradeday, myfundedfutures
How you would compare with top step?
Id say much better than apex for sure.
Drawdown on end of the day
Just trying apex cause cheap…. But overall top step looks more trustworthy than apex…. But mffu and top step who is the winner
Those two i dm you are very simmilar to topstep rules wise
Myfundedfutures doesnt have activation fee
And tradeday have 250k account
19k today 
That would make my day if it did
im done on forex for the day and banked profits
100k
going to close this in 15 mins before 1:30 high impact news
what happened to the equities after I quit trading
they're cheaper now so you can get back in
You right
I shorted ES yesterday for 10 ticks at 5544. Who tf nuked it to 5458
@nocturne sigil def
numbers in 2
full port?
I just saw a tweet about DFTX indicator by lux… now I gotta look into it
christmas in july
Am I the only one who bought at the lows 👀 exactly -1k from yday
if we reverse 70% of yday that will be nice
Wasn't exactly easy hold but was kinda lotto ticket hahaha
DTFX on gold 3 min lol
Gocaine only
nq choppy
I'm just shopping around. 👀
👀
Forex closed for the week. Futures for the rest of the day.
fx is tough these days

You can say that again. Very tough fot no reason

Shopping around Caca.
Very unstable nowadays.
T minus 10 mins.. Best of luck everyone 🙂
i stopped forex a year ago and didn't look back
👀
yes
i am already on BE just gonna trail my profits
this could be trade of the month
if it does reverse the whole thing hahaha
definetly worth risking for it
@gloomy quail Should I close? or let this run to pivot low on 1H?

yeah, thats my fib TB after the pull back
ill close early
dont have time
13 ticks on one account, and 14 on the other, thats 27 ticks, what did I do on the third account 
I get two cups of coffee micky over here owns a lambo all the sudden 200 tick homerun boy now
good entry
I close out at 413 ticks at OB
screw it
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
i was too chicken to go for the whole 728
OMG
Im too chicken to go for more then 30 ticks, idk what kinda coffee you drank this morning.
100 points dump off the open
OMG still goin
is it gonna sweep the LL
you made me close with your whappy crap
hahaha
looks like it
Idk I really just dont touch equities anymore
ES maaybbbbbbbbbbbeeeee RTY but other then that nah
I need to try and wake up for london for crude because its so easy to trade at like 3-5 am est lol
anyways im done for the day gl everyone
idk people saying summer trading is quiet
yet we see 60 points candles on NQ
vwap at 190 here
Looks like my 400 ticks close at this OB is holding up.
Was this at your vwap, same area as PAC OB?
Would be 250 but accidentally opened es 1 mini and wiped 150 bucks so 100 for the day, still good. Was tarding micros on nq.
@agile jasper nevermind, your vwap was on the 3m
what did it say on 1H?
or doesnt show yet since its still market opn on 1H chart?
doesn't matter lol
no clue on your whappy
vwap was at 19190 when NY opened
this chaotic lol
just took the 1H short at resistance of 4H OB above, same level as my 75% fib level @gloomy quail
4H OB's here on 1H chart
every 1 min candle is like 50 points up and down lol
are people just scalping this shit
dafuq is this
Just shorted gold, thinking 2340 as it looking to break
19k traded
ok i will try a long then
200 points selloff off the vwap
you're trying to catch the bottom?
100%
at 18900 i think we have 10% drop from ATH
JC we're at 18900 already
1min candle 106 to 108
@spare bloom nowadays
we're at 10% drop from the ATH now
still i think it is kinda unfair to just sell off this hard in two days
why didnt it do this shit when it was ath
just 500 a day
yeah no pullbacks
nq is falling
good pullback if you bought there
i missed it
not gonna gamble if my theort is wrong
we broke 19k no use trying to defend it now unless we go back above it

Banked 6600$ on my first day PA account…. My goal was to reach the point where trailing stop loss stops to follow. Account is safe. 87% win rate.
on the beach?
yas
😂
3 piece for the day
Believe will follow you on 3/4 top step 100K accounts 👍
Are you trading with topstepX platform?
smiley .618
yeah i am.. use trading view seperate tab then place my orders on topstep platform
they seem legit... i got my payouts and all went smooth.. just be prepared to wait like 3-4 days before you trade after requesting payout.. takes that long to settle ur trading balance
TOPSTEP is expensive but is probably the most trustable Prop firm. Was thinking about 150K account but 100k seems more legit since don’t wanna mess with dozens of contracts. 1/2 Nq are pretty legit on 100K
Yup .. like 99 for combine and 150 to activate after you beat combine … but I got my 99 refunded on all 3 accounts . It was a bonus but think it ends Friday.. you trade great so those fees are minimal for u
@grand galleon those prop firms i sent you are just behind topstep, much better than apex... and their problems recently.
I know apex it is what it is….. wanted to try. TOPSTEP AND MFFU my next steps
Cool, happy to help. Have a nice one.
@grand galleon Hi it is possible to share with us some of youy today trades ? In pictures maybe.. Thanks
Hey man it is what it is i re-entered long on 19k break
finally longs are cooking
Cooking shorts that is
Those are my trades in the first hour of Ny session…. That’s what I trade 1 hour till 1 hour and 1/2. Scalping from imbalance to imbalance or liquidity.
Thank you 🙏🏻 I tried it on Xau/Usd but somehow it’s so messy… Got more loosing trades than winners
I trade only Nq
crazy push
Yeah i know 🙏🏻 Thank you @grand galleon
how is topstep expensive? quality vs quantity
Futures challenges cheap as chips compared to FX challenges 😂
Exactly
quality costs more…. The only thing I don’t like with top step is the trails drawdown
I know…. I meant daily drawdown (not trailing…..my fault)
Daily max loss
You can change it when you reach life funds with them.
seeing your profits don't think daily DD will be an issue for you
Some trades I ve drawdown like 1500$ before it reach the goal …. So yes if unlucky could be a problem….
how long you trade overall?
I assume from the picture above.. couple of seconds and minutes only
1 hour 1 and 1/2 hour a day
What is your stop loss? Below imbalance
Imbalance or candle that produce imbalance
And you take the reverse if a candle produces imbalance?
Yes …. From 20 sec to 3/4 min…
For a reversal I feel more confident if I see an important level of liquidity cleared out ….. than I wait for imbalance to form or maybe a inverse fvg
Very nice move on NQ.
FX has been tough today
My 2 eyes closed on FX rught now
i took a handful of scalps on second charts with S/O's, not sure how much I got, it was nothing, maybe net 10 pips, hard to tell because Forex.com doesnt show you trades on chart and their summary on TV is not clear to me
oh well
What is the second chart?
Hi anyone trade in natural gas
seconds timeframe
I traded the 5 seconds and 15 seconds on EU a handful of times, won some, lost some, LOL
I have zero spreads
LuxAlgo looking great 👍
Cool.
nice set up
We will range a bit here. Yesterday we did too. $19,300 - - $19,370 is the range zone. NQ.
Nice comeback on nq
I hodl 300 points ngl ot was mega tough since i saw some of my entries cameback to BE couple of times
Was in drawdown as wll xD
needs mega balls of steel
I dont do this often but fomo of possible 800 points retracement
need to bank on these rare opportunities
I almost never see 1k point days unless it is powell day during bear market
Dang...
On the ES,NQ 1H chart it's the most buy volume bar for the entire week. Could this be the start of a reversal back up before who knows what happens?
big number tomorrow
There just classic floor pivots levels. They've been around since before the internet existed.
Started a new combine while at restaurant
was about to say the same. i am done for today so didn't do anything but might consider in the future trading micros at these times maybe i can catch a big move
I did not think even that it would be possible if there was that strong up move but yeaha I think they want to continue trend.
me
ACH - anything can happen. look at yesterday's power hour!
congrats 😄
we did what 100 points in 10 minutes or so?
these bars are huge
you can get your account blown in 1 candle
i cought 60 points in that short
already out?
$45.81 was peak ATR today on a 3 minutes bar.
Someone say power hour?
today's volatility is insane
yes ser
1 min candles doing 50+ points
it is not for the faint hearted honestly
this shit is tough
$31 is the ATR now on 3 minute, 1hr before the markets close
not bad long
Im hoping to be guided in a good direction, i've looked through the user strats, and tried to create my own. But im looking for some advice on 1min scalp trades on a 1:1 RR or 2:1 RR any suggestions with backtesting?
No buy signal yet but volume was good. Nice power hour flush!
jeeesus
ES came close but couldn't hold above the pivot. Candle coloring red 🚽
Over 7000$ secured today among my accounts. Unfortunately lost one account but that’s my fault and something to learn. Overall happy.
.
Woah pause
Ima need some context on that micky 🤨
Price action
That’s all
Team I am confused... I am a futures trader but having a discussion with CFD traders.. and None of them can explain to me.. how much is 10 lots of Nasdaq?? but in futures terms
I've seen that 1 lot represents a transaction of 100,000 units of the currency, it is pretty complex for me what could be 10 lots.. I would also recommend to check the web and search for more accurate responses if nobody respond to you here
I have asked around and it seems like most cannot bridge the diffs... hmmm idk this company says we cannot trade more than 10 lots in 1 day.. how much is that if I trade Index market? NOT Forex. so idk
Futures do not go by lots.
Futures are contracts.
Minimum position size is one contract.
Most futures broker have learning resources on their website.
Here is Tradestation learning resources for futures:
https://www.tradestation.com/learn/market-basics/futures/
mm, I'm gonna check this as well, might have misunderstood a lot what I read in the web 🤔
@hasty pilot
Lots are for forex.
Futures go by contracts.
CFD's are not futures.
Here is a learning resource for CFD's:
https://www.tradestation.com/learn/market-basics/futures/
I understand this my friend , I am a futures trader. But I realize these CFD firms like FTMO , FundingPips , etc .. refer to Lots. And I’m trying to understand why one of them has a 10 Lot max rule. So how much is that?
Like futures firms usually limit us to 15 contract. So it’s confusing to me.
You need to contact them as these are prop firms, unregulated, as they have their own terminology the chose to use.
Yeah they’re super confusing.
I’m with TopStep only. Regulated. But yeah the terminology is unfamiliar
So we really cant compare prop firm with regulated broker exchanges, as prop firms are not regulated broker exchanges, and not a broker, or an exchange. @hasty pilot They have zero effect on the financial markets.
Not regulated with the SEC, as they are not a broker.
But yes, I hear TopStep is one of the legit prop firms @hasty pilot
Yeah I agree
did you think that 3 months its a good time of backtesting to a new strategy in a 5 minute timeframe?
Not bad...it also depends on the number of executions.
Meaning if you strategy only produced 4 set-ups in that 3 months, then, you need to go deeper into the history.
Here is a good guide for the backtesting systems

It depends on broker but for me on nq but 1 lot is 20 dollars per point so 10 lots is 200 per point
Anyways you would look at contract value for your broker they either make 1 lot is 100k or 1 million for nq
so it is like mnq and nq difference
Agree you must know the contract size in forex with your broker ☝🏻 As an example for Xau/Usd with contract size of 100 0.01 Lots are 0.1$/pip
Thanks for this link! I've been looking for a beginner's resource

Yeah I literally wake up brew my tea try and get in the zone as quick as possible.
Beautiful Short

I used bollinger bands for a long time, really helps with the directional
Looks like they are working for you here in futures too 
Don't jinx me 😛
they arent working for you take them off the chart they will never work

chopy chop
Dude I LOVE iman
me too
Apparently someone took legal action against him recently
he is the best trading youtuber, no bull💩
intresting
literally 0 bs
hes like yeah im not yet consistantly profitable but ive pulled out money, and I was like dude same, watched his vids ever since
hes doing a good thing for the community weeding out these couse selling shitty trading youtubers
yep, watched all of them, i like how he see the world
and fake gurus, no mercy for them
still chop, slow friday i guess
did you see vids on his third channel?
@sturdy wharf
No I only watch his imantrading channel
he is just slaying fake gurus there, i reccomend it
for eg arty bald head andrew tate rip off
lol word ill check it out
i need to watch these videos, iman did you say?
yes
Thanks!
meanwhile nq
Just watching video on Brad literally sums up these trading guru's in a nut shell LOL
Imagine someone posting a stock in here for once 
4 higher lows can I get a higher high???
genx question..what is Brad?
A scammer
fake guru selling courses with crap
thx
I luckily was smart enough to stay away from these courses.
yes folks, pls dont fall for that...
Others not so lucky, any they paid upwards of 500$ for these dumb courses you can learn EVERYTHING free online
should of held my short but news is gambling and £350 im more than happy with
Last week I made $2,092 Trading
This week I made $2,041 Trading
Slowly reaching consistent profitability.
dude i’m happy with 100$ 350 is sick
3x 150k?
Great to see and hear your journey man! Just shows you with determination and patience even in a relatively short amount of time compared to some people. You're slowly becoming consistently profitable trader 
3, 150k accounts, taking 1-3 trades a day, aiming for 200-300$ a day from each account.
i like ichimoku
Thank you dude getting two weeks down of around the same profitability and success rate is huge. Wednesday I had to end the day down I lost two trades but I was able to step away and take the loss because all I was doing was “paying the bills” as someone smart once said. I brought it back yesterday and today trading fairly well. I appreciate your kind words danny fr.
In NQ - All of the sellers volume was absorbed below VWAP in 30 mins
Wednesday was a win in itself for you in my eyes, you realised when to call it a day. Many traders when they down let their emotions take over and then thats when your in trouble. Revenge trading/changing your lot size to try make up for the losses and then when the day ends your worse off than if you would of just realised todays not your day and stopped.
Refresh your brain and eyes and come back fresh the next day.
Great advice right here^
Revenge trading is killer
i like to keep in mind that the current trade has zero to do with the last trade....keeps out of 'gonna get that one back'
Most definitely i did it a lot when i started trading or id hold on to the losing trades then take profit way too early.
If im willing to hold my trades to stop loss then why am i not willing to hold trades to take profit.

Great how you both trade, did he get you into it?
Hello, I have a quick question, I paid for the membership on the luxalgo website and I completed all of the steps but I still can't use the scripts on tradingview.
I used to freeze and just watch it go down breating straight hopium that it will come back to my breakeven. I would just let it slice right though my stop loss because I hated taking losses. But losses are just how the world works.

Done for the day….secured 20K.
Wow 320 contracts
Yes just added a 300K account to the collection…. Took me 1 hour
Did you go all in on each trade 😂
is this a 1 step process ?
must be pretty nice tho
i might try one of those accs for fun if they actually pay me
Apex theres like a 50% chance they just wont pay you
A bit of rules …. But for what I know they pay…. Late but they actually do
Poor treatment, payout denials, "new" rules, Discord mods on power trips, ghost orders tanking funded accounts and evaluations... and more.

Choose your company wisely
Yeah, him first a few years ago but only dipped in and out. Both more into it now but I'm looking at going back to work for a year. Need mortgage and stuff but not made enough to buy outright or need an accountant
would have had a good long on ES right here if I was still trading today
Oh nice, hopefully ill get my mrs into trading eventually. She wants to learn squiggles as she calls it 🤣
Very technical! Maybe she could replace some of the gurus iman has outed 😆
Ok I have the two SO on chart . How do I change the colors so that I can see my setting of 1 in one cloud and 3 in the other ?
Also do I turn on neo cloud in presets or leave as none
Barely squeezed out a profit and had to do a manual lockout. It's real dirty in there today with ES, NQ. Dirty meaning no break of initial balance, all chop within range.
Id love to see your trades, this is insane.
Indeed : the starts
I think so
Finally NQ - long worked
Clean
It was. Now it's smoother after I locked myself out. I am bullish going forward into next week. Bias doesn't really matter when it chops like that.

@sturdy wharf this ichimoku u use is lux?
Nah I use original but the lux superichi or Ichimoku Concepts are basically the same with some tweaks.
Thx
Did not trade Dow Jones (YM/US30) but what a beautiful signal
22 sensitivity level
All else OFF.
Nasdaq wasn’t bad. It was painful
A quick trade off of that late buy signal on NQ.
Nice kitchen
just made 280
Should we fix a live session…. With cam and so…. Would be fun
That would be lovely😊
Let me think about it…. Have to buy some equipment 🤩
Why? Your phone is fine, are you joking, i cant tell.
Yeah…. Let me think. Would be nice to have a live session 1 hour at NY opening. By the way this has been my trading session. Started 15.58 and finished 16:26… 28 min 20K @muted raptor
Cool, thanks for the screen shot.
You welcome
Today I had a poor mindset & deserved to lock myself out manually. There was nothing wrong with price action. Technically the initial balance is the 1st hour of trade.
Where do you get the arrows from? 9 indicators is impressive! Which do you use? Pls count me in if you do a live session
So I told you that this was from the backtest (which also have arrows) but actually here on his chart the arrows are suppose to be the executions labels if you trade on the TV paper/demo account (or trade with most of the integrated brokers on the charts)
I use:
- 1 signal and overlay (sensitivity 16 and trend catcher and tracer on)
- 1 PAC with with OB and FVG and market structure enable.
- 1 PAC with inverse FVG enabled
- 1 oscillator matrix
All the rest is just there but rarely used
Thanks! Sorry, appalling memory
Not joking actually
Ill dm you, read my message pls.
👀
any backtesters/chart stalkers in chat
Bearish on the daily, short term bullish on the hourly. If the hourly flips, look out down below ((timber)).
super CHOcH+ on BTCUSD now
Who is getting a good strategy for nq future trading? Please share
This might help. Have a look
@normal trellis Here is my NQ 1hr Setup. The one above is 4hr
NQ can really cover alot of ground 
Do you have explanation for it?
I don’t get a good explanation for FVG?
1 hour and 4 hr is big time frame for future trading
It might be big losses
In daily it is up but in weekly it is down according to matrix indicator
Matrix can be great if that's your setup. For me I can only hold a position for a maximum of 22 hours, so I may be approaching it a bit differently. And honestly if I can ever make it past 1 hour it would be a tremendous accomplishment 
Do you hold future trade for 22hr?
Not easy i think in future trading
Who is trading future and get profitable with luxalgo indicators
I have all 3 indicators
I haven't done it yet. I can possibly see myself in a position at around 6pm eastern time for an overnight hold. I would definitely have a bracket or at least a stop loss in place if I did. I have seen a few profitable traders using Lux Algo indicators. They will post payouts in here from time to time.
Great
Checkout #1128499789437354106 for some ideas. But they are ideas and you may need to tweak and back test to meet your style of trading
Many members here in this room are profitable or consistently safe…
Idk if I count yet gimme 3 more weeks lol
Disney anyone?
Also record it. So I/we can watch it back if we miss it.
But if u announce it, i’ll try to join🫡
Actually you can watch it live, dm me.
Ohh, announce what?
What’s live?
Fero agreed to show us how he trades live.
Ohhh, how? Here in Discord?
Yes, idk if lux server allows that but overall on discord.
@nocturne sigil is it possible to open voice chat for members to talk?
What if - hear me out - we had a room for people to discuss and share their trading screens during the day, but to be able to you had to meet certain criteria.
Something like:
Talk in chat (Reach legend status)
Been Verified by Head Moderator/ Multiple Moderators
Participate in conversations daily
Be in the discord for a specific period of time (greater the 6 months)
idk im just spitballing here, I think it would be cool if we could all talk about how we use indicators and strategies.
I would love to hear how you guys view different price action.
I agree
@grand galleon going over his trading style
I would literally personally moderate the voice chat room if needed 
We had this open channel before. But a handful of ex-members did not respect the LuxAlgo community and the guidelines.
This would require me to attend all these open voice channel sessions. Which I’m not about to take on honestly. This is the reason why I started the daily Live Streams
This is the sole and number one reason why we created the #1128499789437354106 so that the chats can be organized under one specific members strategy
So the open voice/screen channel is not an option at this moment.
Also I have requested any member to volunteer to take the mic during my live streams to chat about anything. Not many, so far, took this up. If more members take the mic during the live streams, we can also have them share their charts if they wanted to.
BUT, let me think about this some more.....I am not against this, but need to find a way to make this work.
@sturdy wharf
@muted raptor
Open to all ideas and happy to help where I can, if I can.
Since I have my daily live streams Monday through Friday, I could have some of these streams dedicated to members showing their set-ups. Maybe out of the 5 days of the week, I can do my thing 2 days, and the remaining 3 would be for members to do theirs. Thereby I am am in all 5 streams? Not sure, let me think about this more and figure the recording out etc.....
can't wait to trade some NQ tonight
Where is the live guys ?
there is no livestream during the weekend
That would be nice. U can scream in the mic while u watch me set up 100x positions on BTC with my special indicator.
dear god
Finally tomorrow is Monday…. Will try to collect 2 more 300K accounts….thats will be my goal and then trade all of them together in order to split the risk among them….
how many accounts do you have
I ve 4 total
God*
That’s pretty good
Good morning everyone. I wish us all a profitable trading week.
Tricky spot here. On the daily it's right in the middle of the range & inside an FVG. On the hourly it's already hit a resistance level. Tough stuff. Not seing bearish yet.
Maybe I was looking for a bullish set-up?
😬
Could be one of these long swing plays
🧐
Or this?
Where are the free signals.
LuxAlgo doesn't provide signal calling, sorry.

First trade in the green for me
longboys
looks like trying to go for Asia range high
also, Monday range, also weekly range, etc
your TP looks spot on, Danny
although I would take half of position at those highs, just to make sure
and use POC as support area to convince me to keep holding the trade
somehing like this for SL
