At least it'll be in glory
50 ticks on the board today for me, exactly
Not gonna give back one tick to the Man in the High Castle
Im done
I bet they running this up now to take shorts in premiums
hmmmmmmm
Call your friend @upper oracle and find out!
Never reachable during trading hours
I would if I could haha
just talk around it a little and try to figure it out by the sound of his voice
Watch Live: Fed's Powell Speaks 1:30 PM ET https://youtu.be/1o_9kO0zZQg?si=y8dplAtkOcSSZTUc
Hon. Jerome H. Powell, Chair, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, will address The Economic Club of Chicago on April 16, 2025.
hge will be late 100%
๐
We need Trump to go on a Tariff rampage again
๐ฅบ
Is that not how itโs been for the last 90 days!? ๐ค
Well, the notion was looming then. But the real action only happened last week
Moves that were usually about 30-50 points and took 5 minutes to finish, turned into 100 point moves with a waiting time of 1-3 minutes๐
Waves of the North Sea
you trading?๐
no
๐ฆ
i should have but no
could've went in the opposite direction so not really much to regret
That was bad for the market and pushed both Nq and Es over the edge to test the low again
my bigger levels below for es
Yeah 18357 here on NQ, previous resistance, now support?
what did I miss LMAO
can't read that yet haha
You winning?
Beautiful long scalp.
apex legit firm ? them accounts soo cheap
to any futures traders with apex experience
oh noo how so
definitely not a stressfree process
and who would you recommend
they are quick to find reasons to deny payouts if they find just a slight mistake
myfundedfutures is good. Topstep is supposedly good as well, but I never had a payout with them
surely thereโs not many complex rules is there ?
iโll check myfunded
Payout is nice, but beware that as soon as you go to a funded account, they'll put an intraday trailing loss on your account
ffs donโt wanna hear that
ya..Risk management is always the easy excuse
yup
they even complain when you buy "too many" evals
Apex does pay out
you donโt have to have like stop losses per trade etc right ?
I think I read it in their rules that it is mandatory. Though I'm not sure if it only applies to live funded
I'd recommend looking up their rules as they're quite extensive
I basically said everything that needed to be said
And I'm looking to switch back to mff too haha
their "good" evals are quite expensive though
Welcome home trade ๐
I'm finally convinced that you're absolutely addicted๐
like that cigarette after a long flight haha
and one when I came back ๐
exactly
sounds like a nicotine addiction to me
It was a nice move 1 hour
Been doing well. PnL at 800 usd today so can't really complain. How was the water park with the kids?
Ah! Also got confirmation for my apartment booking. Going on vacation to Corsica soon
nice !
sad I mised that big move
water park was great
tired now so not going to do much more
ohhh that sounds great!
Speaks for itself haha
I have no clue in this subject matter
Profit Goals are also higher than competition
๐
that's understandable. Kids can be a handful haha
๐
don't have any, but was a babysitter a few times and I have massive respect for parents who can keep up with the stress 24/7
while also juggling a job
come to Daddy
haha especially in the pool had them both wrestling me for 3 hours
what prop is this?
Knew it! Mandatory Activity at the water park๐
LFG baby
ohhh ok interesting
The thing in red is what entices me
14 days is pretty long tho?
Apex is 8 days, Topstep 5 days
I shouldnt have to wait longer than 1 day
well, no consistency rule or anything though. That's the nice thing about it
just a minimum payout amount and 14 days in between payouts
and hit TP... ๐ฅณ LFG first day kids didn't cost me money ๐คฃ
guess I will keep em around a bit longer
nvda is tanking hard
left one account running
10% drop on nvda
they are on holidays ... took them to the water park today
yeah that ban really killed them
what holiday?
Powell dropped a reality check
half term school break
ahhh
SnP goes under 5000 again
wow
Lux Algo x Elliott Wave = Fire
This why i love ORB @upper oracle
maybe I should've traded after all
you lost out
๐ฏ
Maybe should view these missed gains as losses
Crazy bull move at the end, it took back half of JP's dump back
I guess it's time for some revenge trading
looking at it right now. Crazy
Only way to come back as a winner
Be sure to remember me!
๐ซก
Lol
balls of steel
Yea
Price just needs to move in 1 direction for 2 bars.
I was -500 that's why I went 30
but no tilt?
Im probably not going to get apex payout but I'll get next one
I broke all the rules on this pa
Its okay I will built buffer to +5000
I tilted
nice recovery
good idea. Did the same thing last week. One day that blew the consistency but now serves as a buffer against DD
Yes on apex ๐ฏ
Its okay the 2nd payout requirements will be easier for apex
5 trades of $50 and trade 8 days
I was trying to build 1st buffer on this PA that's why I went heavy
You're referring to a violation of consistency, right?
absolutely irresponsible though haha
I fail to see what's good about this Friday
Rest day
to reflect on all of our rekt decisions
Hey I need help to setup the indicator to trade Nq, any suggestions or recommendations? Iโm using it as is but I donโt get a clear signals.

Yea. Sorry am at work ๐
When this sucker opens back up in an hour, I bet a huge dump-a-roo
?
๐คทโโ๏ธ
full port signal then
Ah, ok. I was a little confused there... And no worries, you have no obligation to reply asap. I'm not your boss๐
Thinking about this
Its the fill at open with the slippage that worries me
should had placed it before close
btw, you said you work at a gas station, right? What's it like working there? (I'm considering whether I should change my job)
That was @tribal sapphire he works at gas station
oh, my bad
Yeah ๐ I'm working for local government. I drive a bus for elderly and disabled.
oh, nice. How many hours do you work?
what country?
During market hours I'm working in EST time zone in USA. But i have some breaks and get find trades between 9am to 1:15pm.
damn, do you use a laptop or a tablet to trade?
I live close to work. About 1 mile away and during my 2 hr break I go home for lunch
Mobile and tablet, laptop (home)
I could never
I still place most trades on TV mobile. Ya it's what I have started out with.
I can bring laptop to work. Maybe when I need to see order flow when at work I will. ๐
Yea im thinking of changing my work it depends. I want to master more things and get more funded accounts first.
Its very stressful.
what are you considering?
Working nights and weekends
I have commercial drivers license and I'll have to take 2 part time jobs for lower pay
First I bring all my accounts to funded status and get lots of them and close to payout
Before I do
And then I'll take some time off and trade and see how I do before I do this too
There are bus driving job on weekends and nights. But i need some additional endorsement on my license.
One of the jobs that I could never pull off. But I hold such roles in high regards as it's professions like these that make society go round haha
in your case literally
Exactly the opposite for me haha
In the office on weekends so I can spend time trading during the week
although I also trade during calls and working hours
Interesting pattern here on the ES 5 min
Inverse Head and Shoulders
lmfao
the good ol' d&b pattern
but it does allign with what Micky said earlier about it maybe going up
I can pick a direction so it goes the other way if you like. 
Beautiful. Best way. ๐
Ya I get home around 5:05PM est. ๐ since i'm so close to work and can make it 6pm est
need something to trade around this time. ๐
which is not perfectly legal haha
I was searching around and I found some bitcoin prop firms. I lose track because I'm focused on MNQ during the week. But I think i narrowed it down. I wanted to try it on the weekends with bitcoin.
the hang seng index is very active when it opens at night
more than nq?
It opens 21:10 and it fits my work hours. I think I found one prop firm that can trade it.
Japanese Yen Futures. But I am not used to the way these assets move at all.
looks like everything I hate about the NQ Asia Session
hate is a strong word
I'd absolutely tweak
Well, I do absolutely despise it๐
ha
relax
embrace it
feel it
become it
I suck at that
ok
I need to see movement
are you able to trade Asia?
i can trade anytime, if I want
only difference is margin requirements, thats all
I feel like the spreads during asia can kill a scalper.
for FX, yes
for futures, not bad, its ok, but I chose not too
From my view those who can trade Asia and make profit, are basically gods๐
I can't imagine trading it profitably
It might be my broker, but ill enter a play and be like "oh look, down 5 ticks already"
one of my big issues
not just you
5 ticks is probably the worst spreads ive seen during Asian.
Typically I see from 1-2.5 ticks
While NY for the most part is the regular 1 tick
Like now!
2 ticks at the open
2 tick spread
yeah 1.0 hovering
compared to FX, future is good about the spreads during non NY sessions
what are they like on FX?
now the spreads are nasty on NQ, from 1-12 ticks
my Webull has it at 12 tick spread now
Yes. I am curious what are the AM and PM spreads for the asia (HSI and JPY) futures
ORH is the target on the D&B. long way to go
this depends on the pair, majors and minors
some pairs jts have huge spreads normally, 3-10 pips, so lots of factors with FX
1 pip = 10 ticks
that's brutal
going down
aggressive sellers stepped in
almost hit my TP nice ๐
market is dumping
nice short ๐
there is still lots of agression going down. anyone here?
yup, not trading though
yeah and then down ? liquidity on both sides.
not sure. Trying to get a feel for those movements
there is some resemblance to NY's PA but way less follow through
yeah, can't trade that
doesn't make sense in my head
should be some liquidity coming in in 23 minutes
Open?
buyers are getting weak here
Everytime it hits this level, there is selling pressure
what open
Oil been moving up since the opening but the price is in the red ๐ค
thought there might be one because you mentioned liquidity
no idea, algos might be turning on or whatever. we have at half past and an hour past right after asia opens
true, might be a tv glitch?
ahahahaha
Is that true?
no๐
It would not surprise me
internet is big
asia session does the opposite of what you think will happen btw
that's why I'm more bearish bias.
It wil go up NY AM but during Asia it will do the opposite. I've been burned many times.
Micky, remember our conversation earlier?
Fuck it, I notified my friend and applied
Wish me good luck๐
Good luck ๐ฅ
What are you applying for?
Thats awesome man
good luck!
I may start throwing sticks at a 4H and go for some huge plays
๐คทโโ๏ธ
Nice wow
Thatโs why Iโm trying to go there. I want the knowledge
Although my current boss will definitely not be happy
Do what is best for you. I would take that position too.
Might even kill my โConsultantโ-plans I spoke to him about
Will get decimated on pay in the beginning though
Something that aligns with your passion is better suited for you.
Hi am new here
The knowledge you gain will make you better in your personal trades.
Sup
welcome
just don't get liquidated
Ruff start to the week for me these wicks is crazy
I want Nq short at 18495
tight 1m moves
Nq is squeezing higher here imo
Nice scalps
it took out the recent high
Wow really moving at 20:00 I should tune in more
Dam, this sucker going
This is my sleep time though
hahaha
Ya i have to wake up 5am est
Your missing your dreams for this
Does it run during this time?
I have no clue, hold on....let me find something that will explain
This sums it up
LOLLL
Haha ya i love trades based off those
That orange line, was what I was thinking of shorting, but it looks pretty green
Ill watch from here
๐
Yeah, looking a bit to strong for me to jump in short
Perma bulls has entered the chat
I havenโt even payed attention to the dollar lately, but man itโs dropping
Good sign for the markets maybe
Trading is easy
Thank god for lux algo PAC
What strategy did you use
ไฝ ไฝฟ็จไบไป้บผ็ญ็ฅ
Just inverse fair value gap
Thatโs all I ever use
Going WITH the trend of course
This inverse was a 3min
Can you check out your charts and settings?
ๅฏไปฅ็็ไฝ ็ๅ่กจ่ท่จญๅฎๅ
All you do is go to fair value gap and set it to inverse
Thatโs really all I use
Yes
Nah I flip through 1min 3min and 5min only
Whichever has inverse I wait for candle close and take it b
would love to see your stats on this.. ๐ i use inverse also, mixed success rate, probably due to market trend strengh
90% win rate
Passed 3 fundeds on paper
Gonna do the actual funded next week
2-3 cons
Close tp and it hits consistently
Like maybe 10-20 points ish
stops below ifvg?
Below the low
If it breaks the fvg and closes you exit
If it wicks it itโs still valid
2R maybe
remove vwap please @agile jasper
negative

@urban flint #๐งชshare-strats-indicators message
Any thoughts on how this can be improved? I'm getting blindness at this point.. Was looking at OSC, but I'm too rookie for now to understand what would be solid. I need some way to invalidate some of the shitty trades. Filter them out.
Also looked at mnq, 5contracts. give me some more room on getting clapped.
wow NQ and ES flip flop haha
Ah, okโฆdidnโt know that was out there!
I think this the longest trade I've ever took on MNQ started at 7:36pm ended at 1:08am i had been went to bed ๐ ๐ด ๐
Guys are the US markets closed on Friday?

The Bitcoin Conference is the world's largest gathering of bitcoiners. From breaking announcements and international media coverage to countless meaningful talks by thought-leaders and industry innovators, we are excited to continue our drive for global hyperbitcoinization. From May 27th - 29th, 2025, The Bitcoin Conference will be coming to Las...
ask them to do it :p i didn't see this lol

the manufacturing number was awful
๐
please be quiet Fed ๐
ohr not keep speaking
make up your mind son
FED checks reality
depends what they say
they need to make up their mind
๐
cause I can't decide until then lol
scalped some longs there
but out of positions again lol
in and out fast is the game today ๐
yup
oh boy
๐
going to be an annoying day I feel
lots of options expring today too
maybe I should just lock all my accounts out ๐
let me know how this goes
early weekend as well
๐
ECB press conference now
yup
sticks dont lie
LOLLL
i wanna easy juicy short soon
respect the sticks
sticks = my rules
Doesnt matter what rules you have, what are your rules?
gimme
go get it!
not been very successful in the bigger tps recently ๐
so we will see!!!
I see your have TS levels on your chart.
So if 97% of TS traders fail, then dont use their levels?

It's just not the same ever since Trump got more quiet๐ข
LMAO
right?
why do you always bring that up ๐ซ
you trying to jynx me ๐
hahaha
you know im joking
haha I know ๐ its all good!!!
yeah they have the tilt which shows how many topstep users are short/long a commodity/equity why not do the opposite of what most are doing
or when you see too many people long go short
and I agree ๐
so I just have to hope everyone else is short
lets check the tilt ๐
maybe they are all right for the first time ๐
unlikely
Micky just flushed me
hahah I would turn off that chart, dont see any of their overall traders direction.
They know 97% of their customers fail and they are trying to get you to follow along, pay for more evals
i never have it on..... I turned it on for you ๐
Ah, Micky, was just notified. Got an interview next week, Wednesday
jaja
GL Man ๐
At 10pm
BAM!!!!
Got your nice suit ready?
haha takes up too much valuable space on my screens ๐
๐ฝ
Of course. I'm in Sales so it's a must
make sure you with flapable chaps in case you need to seal the deal ๐
Does s&o backtester work with pac? Or should I just use pac backtester which i haven't fully figured out
9am soft open
and a pocket protector
you can use both on same chart like i do at times
flipped short ๐
I feel confident in selling myself haha
But the math tests are another story
Sticks
If I fail it'll be due to the tests
and stones
show them the topstep charts
who likes maths tests
i like maths tests when I have access to excel ๐
Same here. But I was told that you're going to have to solve most problems without a pen or a calculator
To me it seems like they care more about the quick and focused thinking part
tell them to get with the times
challenge them to a duel if they want to make you use a pen
tell them this:
"OH YEAH, but do you know about the Oscillator Matrix?"
I just did ... good advice
yup
take what you got
thats it
wait for the next
im waiting
Well, that green candle was probably Micky anyway. Just gave you a heads up before entering
ha
i think im done until opening bell is rang
yup moved down and closed one account manually
are these extra things on the right new features Micky?
yeah, screw those TS levels, they are just baiting members to keep holding and praying, and then you know what happens next
LOLLLLLL
(joking)
its early friday
Take it easy
Calm down people
probably true tho ๐
they will use that against you to not pay you out, saying your trade management sucks because this one trade, you held far too long
broke rule 6.989
oh some of them for sure do that
i know Apex can be a bitch if you do not adhere to the 30%
but they do offer the chance to correct it tbf
its really stupid
just annoying if you dont understand it
oh well
my 1st payout with them
was denied because of that issue haha
but was fine after that
gimme
what's that?
30% consistency rule until your 4th payout
so can't make more than 30% of your profit target in 1 day... (or you need to make more to compensate)
come on Indexs
take the lows and drop
will probably flip bullish
just to spite me
I was under the impression there was none...
30% goes away after you had your 4th payout?
got stoppe din profit again
sticks
paper trading always goes well
@upper oracle
will miss those toothpicks tomorrow
Good morning guys
need more sticks
you sure about that?
you guys are sick and tired of the sticks I think
maybe i need to create some other tips/tricks stuff
You always got something up your sleeve pull another one
all I know i got 10 on the break short
thats all I know
i dont know much
Done
At a party today. Done a little scalp for 200
good short
Enjoy your party
Itโs been crazy. I simplified my chart I trade on and keep the rest on another monitor. So far 10/10. seems to have created some clarity I guess
I think target now is 18219
lest do 15s
thank you
Marriage party actually

Everyone will remember

Hello?
anyone here?
I reached apex payout
But i will be denied since i broke many rules
But this is my
Most profitable quit my job set up i learned
nice!
when do they tell you if you broke the rules?
I will be taking this very conservative setup for my take profit and bring it to payout
trying again
I will request tonight when it shows up in the drop down
And probably be denied
And then I just continue trading for 2nd payout ๐
hmmmmmm
