[lost rose]

lol i feel like i missed the move down

[upper oracle]

[quiet turret]

Nice move down

[surreal dust]

closed one account

left the other for vwap

[upper oracle]

fumbled the tp

[upper oracle]

out prematurely

f

[surreal dust]

i closed one account before vwap

didn't want to get burnt on two accounts haha

[upper oracle]

not panic. Dragged it by accident

damn, looking back, the TP was actually ideal haha

[surreal dust]

it was so close anyway

[surreal dust]

can't complain

we bouncing or dropping here is the question

[lost rose]

might try to short es but i had the same quesion

[upper oracle]

took profit? Or still in?

[surreal dust]

i took profit one about 10 points before vwap

the other 5 points before vwap

out of everything now

just waiting to see what happens here

[upper oracle]

[surreal dust]

[surreal dust]

[surreal dust]

laughing at my weak ES 😄

[lost rose]

[surreal dust]

ah sorry man!

[quiet turret]

VWAP done

[tribal sapphire]

Ok chopsticks ( coz they are bit long)

[lost rose]

fckin fumbled the bag....

didnt like how price reacted to entry so moved to BE and then it moved in the directon i wanted to hit full tp

[upper oracle]

fawk

[lost rose]

thia happens to mee too much

[upper oracle]

same thing just minutes ago haha

[surreal dust]

hoping that hits 2k TP

[lost rose]

ahh this hurts to see.. waited so long for that and got wet feet and moved stop to BE

just for it to dump

fcck

sepating the emotions now lol

[surreal dust]

nope ... lol my TP's are so bad today ... banked 700 of the 2k

[surreal dust]

dont let it get to you man

some days you just arent in sync

better to BE than to lose

[upper oracle]

damn, market is a bitch

Currently watching PW stream with Raketrades. Nice stream if anyone's interested

[surreal dust]

i dont like how he speaks lol

[upper oracle]

waiting for break?

[upper oracle]

understandable haha
But the guest, Raketrades, is a beast of a trader

Never heard of him before the stream

[surreal dust]

yueah I like that guy

he is from topstep

seen him before

i tried to watch PW as it happens

I think on Friday last week

or maybe Monday this week

i only last 30 mins found him too arrogant and irratating

but that is just me

or I just caught him on a bad stream

I dunno lol

will try again another day

[upper oracle]

He does have a massive Ego

[quiet turret]

Support for long break and retest for short

[surreal dust]

ah ok

[surreal dust]

yeah I went short on that

[upper oracle]

But honestly that's what's amusing about him

[quiet turret]

I think market might be looking for some liquidity since it was stuck in the range for over an hour

[surreal dust]

trying one of my PA's on apex

[surreal dust]

yeah and some profit taking too

massive swing up fron yesterday to the levels now

[upper oracle]

thinking about going short

[surreal dust]

yeah I have tried

going to make food now tho

either hit SL or TP

lol

[blazing mesa]

U say that on a downtrend

[upper oracle]

exactly

[surreal dust]

what picture is this?

[blazing mesa]

Wait for assurance 😁

My pfp?

[sturdy wharf]

[blazing mesa]

Or my 5 sec chart

[upper oracle]

[quiet turret]

[sturdy wharf]

mondays dont exist

[surreal dust]

oh God it is wicking all over the place

right now

[surreal dust]

amazing !!!

[upper oracle]

US Trade Representative Greer: We excluded pharmaceuticals and semiconductors from reciprocal tariffs because we think they need their own investigations.

[surreal dust]

is that good or bad lol

can argue either way

[upper oracle]

that's what I don't like haha. It's neither good nor bad

still carries weight

[quiet turret]

It is good

Because US don't have pharma and semi manufacturing

Investigation is an excuse

[surreal dust]

ok nice

[upper oracle]

thx for clarifying

[lost rose]

what is this shite

[surreal dust]

[quiet turret]

Time to take a break we are just dancing around VWAP

[lost rose]

lol

[tribal sapphire]

Man how can i learn to hold my winners

[upper oracle]

by asking why you don't

[tribal sapphire]

I am worried about it reversing on me

[upper oracle]

what's your strat?

[tribal sapphire]

Even though i am setting my sl to be

[tribal sapphire]

ORB

15m

[upper oracle]

do your setups work out?

[tribal sapphire]

I cut them at 1:2 1:3

[tribal sapphire]

Everyday

[upper oracle]

how many contracts per position?

[tribal sapphire]

2 micro maybe 3

[upper oracle]

Try to do it like this: Get two micros, let them run and when you feel the urge close one of them and set SL for the remaining one at BE

[tribal sapphire]

I will try that from tomorrow. I left 1500 on the table today again

[upper oracle]

That's a pain... try it and tell us how it went👍

[tribal sapphire]

I will be posting updates on how its going from tomorrow

Thanks @upper oracle

How was your day?

[upper oracle]

up 2k today. Had a good day so far

[tribal sapphire]

Great

[upper oracle]

what was yours like? Still closed in profit?

[tribal sapphire]

Recover from loss so BE

[quiet turret]

This is the new tange we trade in

[upper oracle]

Exactly 0? If that's the case, that's quite impressive

[tribal sapphire]

Yes 1.22 loss

[upper oracle]

aight, that's peanuts. eval or funded?

[tribal sapphire]

New eval

I have not traded funded volatility is to high these days

[upper oracle]

understandable

[urban flint]

I’m in a large CL short

[upper oracle]

I'm afraid I need to see it

[upper oracle]

oooof, juicy

[urban flint]

Yeah, I was hoping for a drop. But got stopped now in profit

[upper oracle]

Congrats on the play

[nocturne sigil]

Nice

Crude baby

[lost rose]

[upper oracle]

[nocturne sigil]

This is 100% true!!!!

[nocturne sigil]

[tiny tapir]

The market doesnt like 104 % tariffs on China? I am shocked!

Thx guys

[quiet turret]

No buyers in the market

This 200 points move in 30 sec was a trap for both bulls and bears. Mostly retailers.

[upper oracle]

and tp triggered

[agile jasper]

why did i lock out early again?

[lost rose]

lol

[quiet turret]

How do you lock your account in Top Step and APEX?

Like to see some move up before closing

[lost rose]

got some combines for topstep.. will wait till apex is back on discount

[upper oracle]

On tradovate or whoever your broker is

[lost rose]

hahahha

his name is liquidated for a reason

drain that wallet

[upper oracle]

Wasn't liquidated this time though haha

[lost rose]

hahah but i did today

might have to be liquadted number 2

[upper oracle]

It happens. Let's see if tomorrow's better

BrotherTrader, never witnessed that before... Will that influence index futures?

[quiet turret]

No

GC moves according to USD relationship with other currencies.

Metals / Commodities

[upper oracle]

ok, thank you

another beautiful short scalp. Up 3.3

Brother, still active?

[quiet turret]

Just watching

This is terrible daily candle. 1323 from top to bottom.

Ok done for the day.

Will see what happens in Asia.

[quiet turret]

TC

[upper oracle]

how'd you do today?

[upper oracle]

TC?

[quiet turret]

Average day. Few losses (Stop losses) and some profits. More profits than losses which is good.

[quiet turret]

How was your day?

I show you were making some nice trades.

[upper oracle]

Sounds like just another trading haha

[upper oracle]

Had a tiny bit of losses at the end of the session. Sitting at +3290 dollars OTD

Dumped the FVG strat as it just doesn't fit my nature, went back to the old one and voila

👋 Greetings LuxAlgo users... I'm new here and am experimenting with some of the indicator options. Anyone have an suggestions for scalping 5-10min trades... no swings. I mostly trade futures so if you have any suggestions on setups with the indicator that you're having particular success with... very much appreciate you sharing

[upper oracle]

I don't use it for setups, but Imbalance-stuff like FVGs, Swing High/Low and Patterns help a lot

do flags work during Asia?

[quiet turret]

Can't close my Top Step position

Not allowing me

Finally

Top Step accounts

5 MNQ contracts

[cloud kayak]

Jesus 🤦‍♀️

[upper oracle]

madlad

[quiet turret]

1:10 profit

[upper oracle]

worse ways to start the day

[quiet turret]

This trade will make me pass 5 Top Step accounts

So 20 APEX and 5 Top Step funded accounts

[cloud kayak]

@quiet turret any tips you would like to share 🚀🚀🚀

[quiet turret]

I am always posting in this room Anthony

I post charts as a free service even I am on side lines and not trading

[cloud kayak]

Are you using LuxAlgo which one do you recommend

[quiet turret]

I am not using many indicators at this time. I still need to learn Lux Algo indicators.

I am learning from the traders in this room.

[cloud kayak]

So you using trend lines

[quiet turret]

Yes

@urban flint is been with Lux for many years and using Lux indicators. He is really a good trader to learn these indicators from.

[cloud kayak]

Thanks

[quiet turret]

@nocturne sigil is also good one to learn from. He does live every week for Lux users.

[cloud kayak]

Yes I was in one last week

[quiet turret]

I want to go learn from him but aways busy trading

[cloud kayak]

Ok i see

What TF do you use

[quiet turret]

15 Sec & 1 Min

I am trying to move to 2-5 Mins

[cloud kayak]

I used to trade the 1 second but it was to stressful

Now I use the 5M

[quiet turret]

Yes 1 sec would be

[civic tiger]

My spy put held on for dear life today 🤣 and ended the day in profit 💪🏾 i wouldn't be mad if it continues to drop all night

[cloud kayak]

I find the 5M much better

[quiet turret]

Yes, I think Asia wont be buying

[civic tiger]

I was negative 250 for the day on mnq 🤷🏿‍♂️

[cloud kayak]

@quiet turret do you have 20 accounts

[quiet turret]

Yes 20 funded accounts with APEX

Now 5 funded with Top Step and 5 spare accounts

[quiet turret]

How about you?

[cloud kayak]

I have 2 challenge at the moment 1 $50k and one $25K

Both Apex

[proper sedge]

Do you have a recommendation, which platforms and copy trading software to use to combine Topstep and Apex accounts?

[upper oracle]

stfu

[quiet turret]

Delete

[quiet turret]

I am searching for that also

Took a small trade SL to BE

GC moving up

[upper oracle]

Man, fourth lost trade. Feel like the Asia session is something that I just can't figure out...

[agile jasper]

one didn't get to see the light

[upper oracle]

Yeah, same problem as with Gold for me. Slow moving but moves are way scarier than they appear

[agile jasper]

micros on tradovate eat alot

[quiet turret]

@agile jasper If I make $1741.44 on first day and $1943.3 on seconday. Do I pass the Top Step 50K account combine.

[agile jasper]

242*2 = extra 484 on top of 1500. 1500 + 484 = 1984

get another 50 buckeroos to be safe

but they might hit you back with your best day now is $1950 😂

idk i always hit $1510 in day 1 and 1500 in day 2 and i pass. there's a small buffer

[quiet turret]

So with 1950 how much I need to make extra tomorrow?

[agile jasper]

no idea if that'll apply. why don't you lose some money today and make extra $500 tomorrow?

get today back to 1500 and do extra 500 tomorrow

[quiet turret]

Good idea. Thanks.

Target done

[upper oracle]

Finally! First winning trade in the Asian market

So that's what it feels like to be you, brother

[quiet turret]

Only take down side trades.

[upper oracle]

side trades?

[quiet turret]

We need to get to the bottom of this range unless any news comes. Keep you SL.

[quiet turret]

Beautiful

[upper oracle]

what's that? ES?

[quiet turret]

NQ

[upper oracle]

Ah. Was wondering why I didn't see the Gap. You're on a bigger timeframe

[quiet turret]

1 Hr

[upper oracle]

what was that bump?

no news no nothing

[quiet turret]

8 PM EST US after hours trading close. So there is always some moves before and after.

When you follow one index you learn how it behaves and what to expect.

VWAP above the box also.

My SL is in profit now

and out. Nice short scalp

[upper oracle]

damn

me too. Very nice

[quiet turret]

It can still go down

[upper oracle]

we basically had the same entry it seems

[upper oracle]

waiting for pullback

*to end

[quiet turret]

It is 1:5 trade. We keep small SL and big profit. High probability trade entry with confluence.

[upper oracle]

what's that box on your chart?

[quiet turret]

I re-entered

Tight SL

SL in profit

[upper oracle]

falling nicely

[quiet turret]

and exited

Beautiful short scalp

Target hit

[upper oracle]

Still in for now

stopped out

[quiet turret]

Trading only 2 MNQ & 3 trades

Full contract would be $5K each account

[upper oracle]

Very nice. Working towards a juicy payout

[quiet turret]

I hope they pay it. I don't have any experiance with prop firms.'

[tribal sapphire]

Which firm is it

[quiet turret]

APEX

[upper oracle]

Had no issues with one account. Only when I broke the consistency rule by a huge margin. But with that amount of accounts, I can't tell you honestly

[tribal sapphire]

They are pretty good usually

[remote jackal]

Which size?

[quiet turret]

20-50K

[tribal sapphire]

But u are going after them like 40k not sure

[remote jackal]

The maximum that you can hit is $700 in one trade to be inside the consistently rule

But if you did 3 trades and the total is $900 is ok

[tribal sapphire]

I will always stick with Topstep now

[quiet turret]

You mean max 2500x.3 = 750 max loss per trade

[tribal sapphire]

Untill they start changing rules

[remote jackal]

Max profit in one trade

[quiet turret]

I just got 5 Top Step accounts passed

[tribal sapphire]

Nice

[remote jackal]

If you exceed that you have to make extra money to get a payout

[tribal sapphire]

Do you mind teaching me how to do that i am stuck on this 2nd account

Man I really need to fix my psychology.

[quiet turret]

But I made too much profit. 1st day $1741.44 and second day $1943.3. Not sure if they allow it.

[remote jackal]

I lost already 20 account

[remote jackal]

Those account are PA account or challenges?

[quiet turret]

5 extra accounts for security

[tribal sapphire]

Have make surplus of more than 1500 on third day

[quiet turret]

challenge

[tribal sapphire]

Cannot go more than 1500 till you have XFA

[quiet turret]

CaCa suggested that I take some trade and loose some money today

[tribal sapphire]

That is another way.

[remote jackal]

In Apex if it is challenge is fine it is not consistency rule. Only if you already in PA then you need to keep 30% consistency

[tribal sapphire]

That is why i like topstep as soon as you pass not consistency rule

[remote jackal]

You can pass Apex challenge in one day now

[quiet turret]

Those 20 APEX accounts are PA accounts. And Top Step 10 are challenge accounts.

[tribal sapphire]

Xfa and live account you can have as much as u want

[remote jackal]

Ok so now you need to make extra money to get a payout on The one PA

I want to try another Futures pro firm besides apex and TPT

[quiet turret]

Only trading 2 MNQ to keep consistency with 20 APEX PA accounts. Don't want to make too much money.

[lost rose]

i blew my 20 apex account this morn lol

will wait until another discount comes back

[remote jackal]

I trade 2 minis on NQ too but my maximum profit that I take is $500 per trade if it is posible 3 trades a day if posible

[remote jackal]

So I can keep my consistency rule and can get pay out that is more important

[quiet turret]

You mean 2 micro

[lost rose]

yeah thats what i was gonna say

[upper oracle]

wait, it was 20?

[remote jackal]

2 minis no micro

[lost rose]

20 acccounts yes lol

[upper oracle]

oof

[remote jackal]

I trade minis

[quiet turret]

Buy 20 accounts but trade 5 at a time.

[quiet turret]

2 mini is lot for funded account with 2500 trailing DD. In this kind of a market 1 candle can take you out.

[lost rose]

2 minis u could make 500 so fast

2 micros take a bit longer

[remote jackal]

Yes. That is why only trade 1 to 3 trades it is posible

[lost rose]

whats the strat there?

i got 5 topsteps

too

[quiet turret]

I made 1K with 2 micro in 3 trades that is $10K with 2 mini

I dont think they will pay 200K on 20 accounts

[lost rose]

50k accounts?

[quiet turret]

Yes

[lost rose]

youre first payout would be 40k

because max limit is 2k if u built the butter

gotta get 5 payouts then can request max on the 6th

and following

[upper oracle]

they'd have to dedicate a risk department just to your account. So sadly not realistic haha

[lost rose]

my goal was 500 a day across the 20

easy money but trading 1 full contract fucked me in this last week n half

price was voaltile shoulda sized down

[quiet turret]

I normally trade 2 Mini and started trading 2 Micro

[lost rose]

damnnn

yall trading this sesh rn?

[quiet turret]

Physiology stays good and hold the trade longer.

[upper oracle]

[daring fractal]

Newbie question....I want to get into futures, where can I find info on the process? i.e. how to trade it. I looked at ToS but does not seem very user friendly

[spring frost]

I would say watch some youtube vids about how futures work. And use prop firm like apex or topstep so you dont have to use your own money

[daring fractal]

Ok, I did watch a few videos' I will take a look at apex and topstep...Thank you

[upper oracle]

[spring frost]

[spring frost]

Man your freaking entry and risk/reward is crazy good

[quiet turret]

If China makes some good deal market will go crazy up. That is why some short covering in Asia.

We will only take short trades till news comes out.

Delete

[civic tiger]

You all nevermind me and my 1 prop firm account. My very first trading mentor instilled in me, that if I couldn't manage 1 small account, how could I manage 10 or 20 big accounts! Or manage others accounts if i choose that route! And that really stuck with me like frfr but you all have a good night ✌🏾

Oh besides that I really don't like prop firms, to many rules for me, I got in this to be free!!!!!

[green cape]

anyone here use the lux algo ORB indicator

i am having issues i set the correct timezone and ORB but its drawing it on asia open instead of NY

[heady crown]

Yes i do

[stray terrace]

Is the paid indicators good for futures?

[nocturne sigil]

Hmmmm interesting near the lows of current 4H discount

[civic tiger]

I do and I just switch from regular trading hours to electronic trading hours and it adjust

[urban flint]

It’s getting a bit scary

[spring frost]

yup

add more uncertainty

[blazing mesa]

Lower

[urban flint]

Yup

Still in gold trade

[blazing mesa]

[blazing mesa]

Sp500 to 3000

Rip es

[quiet turret]

Moved SL in profit

[urban flint]

I wonder what happens if china just starts shorting US? hm

[quiet turret]

1:3 target hit

[spring frost]

I think china is dumping the treasuries

look at the 10year yield

[blazing mesa]

LOWER

Let it all burn

We make money when it goes up and down

[quiet turret]

They can't. At this time they are shorting their own currency.

[spring frost]

yup so they can stimulate their way out

they got no choice with this situation

[quiet turret]

They need to buy more US currency.

[quiet turret]

I see you're using Weekly VWAP. Is it better than Session VWAP?

[surreal dust]

would be much easier if topstep allowed custom indicators tbh

[upper oracle]

They don't?

[kind brook]

if Please send the code

[surreal dust]

nope

but that is going to change

sometime in the future

probably by the time I am dead
