[main sorrel]

Just curious, why not TradingView if you’re using that too?

[agile jasper]

i don't like the lag i have on tradingview/tradovate connection, not sleek enough for me

[surreal dust]

what is the cap I didn't read that?

oh piss off

you aren't US tho

wtf

[agile jasper]

perks of working at topstep

[agile jasper]

$1500

or they're working for me

[main sorrel]

[surreal dust]

[surreal dust]

ah i see similar to Apex

[surreal dust]

😏

[urban flint]

Funny day. I was up over 1000 on my manual trading and my automations took it to 0 lol

[surreal dust]

haha

the bots have finally woken up and are taking over Qaction

[urban flint]

Clearly. Just funny because they usually help me but this time they took me back to zero

Yey! WHO got dinner?

I was like, that was a really good day, then you go look

[upper oracle]

That's. Interesting...

[surreal dust]

unlucky lol

[nocturne sigil]

Lots of chatter here
What’d I miss?

[upper oracle]

Maybe build in a rule for it to stop if pnl is down 80% from peak of day

would that make sense or does that cause problems?

[upper oracle]

Achilles and caca became part of the elitists club

[urban flint]

I could, but that would mean I think any trade are related, which I don’t

[nocturne sigil]

whats that?

[upper oracle]

.

[surreal dust]

i didn't really... i just copied and pasted his.... but dont tell him 😄

[upper oracle]

fake it till you make it haha

[surreal dust]

hopefulyl he missed all of those

LOL

[urban flint]

The trades my script took

[surreal dust]

not if I hide the ban button 😄

[surreal dust]

that looks ok? or am I reading it wrong

[urban flint]

It did okey on Nq

Looks like some losses on ES :/

ahhh I see

[agile jasper]

HELLO

[surreal dust]

SUI up 11% for the day

so good

[upper oracle]

I'll shut up. Please no public execution

[surreal dust]

he does them in his basement

so he can video them and watch them later

while he plays with his new topstep platform

[upper oracle]

Even worse

[agile jasper]

you're just jealous admit it

[surreal dust]

ofc 😄

[agile jasper]

i also got free acounts x5

[surreal dust]

and now I am bitter too

i hate you

[agile jasper]

what you gonna do?

[surreal dust]

hate you

all day

😄

[upper oracle]

But if he does it in public, he'll get multiple angles

[agile jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/crazy-cat-mushroom-dance-gif-11846709049893854538

[surreal dust]

dont encourage him

[upper oracle]

maybe shouldn't give him ideas

[surreal dust]

we need to ban him and then take his free accounts

send him over to Apex with a 10% consistency rule and a 5k account

[upper oracle]

yeah, get all his TS access too. Brilliant

damn! You can use derivatives in the UK?

[surreal dust]

can you not?

[upper oracle]

Not available in Germany

We're so advanced though. Got bottlecaps attached to our bottles

[surreal dust]

must be some exchange you can use

Phemex

has no kyc

[upper oracle]

Going to have a look at it

thank you

@surreal dust you still trade Options atm?

[surreal dust]

yes with IG and schwab (mainly schwab)

[upper oracle]

I still need an idea for a trade

considering CARVANA

You know of it?

[surreal dust]

yeah the cruise line right?

or is that a different symbol

if it is then I dont know them

ah it is different

so I dont know them

[upper oracle]

No, buying and financing used cars. Online retailer

[surreal dust]

Yeah not heard of them sorry

[upper oracle]

Ok, gonna have to figure it out then haha

[upper oracle]

But if you're interested, have a look. Think it could be a good one to sell Calls as the company is a shitshow. High default rates on financing, shoving costs off the books, etc.

[surreal dust]

I mean that would be good criteria to sell a call

unless they get bought out or refinance somehow 😄

worth a try?

[upper oracle]

I'm going to dig a little deeper to confirm further, but it looks like an opportunity so far

As I said, feel free to see if it might be worth your attention too

Micky👀

[urban flint]

Boeing tomorrow too

[agile jasper]

so we're opening with a gap?

[urban flint]

Yes, seems like trump is now saying Powell is awesome and he did not say that Powell will be fired

[upper oracle]

Undershot Revenue estimates by about 2B, thereby had the worst quarter since 2021 and first report on it happened 15 minutes after close. Yup, we might

[urban flint]

Alternate the alternate truth

[upper oracle]

Seems even the President can't deny the charming appeal of Jerome

damn, wanna see something strange?

[urban flint]

True

[upper oracle]

Revenue is down, but we might get a gap up?

[agile jasper]

it's always the same

if revenue was up, they'd be down after hours

dont think we'll get a big gap

[upper oracle]

is a gap up realistic? What does your experience say?
Seen that blue marker for the first time.

[agile jasper]

no idea really

i will purposely go in a game so i don't get sucked into trading the asian open

[upper oracle]

not interested in fullporting into the gap?👀

We both know there's appeal to the idea

[agile jasper]

trust me son the itch is there all the time

i'm a master at self sabotage

i've done all you can think about 😂😂😂

there aint a box i didn't tick

[upper oracle]

Now I'm hooked. Need some details once you find the time for it😂

[agile jasper]

all shared with a professional psychologist

[upper oracle]

Actually?

[agile jasper]

nah i didn't reach that stage

[nocturne sigil]

👀

[agile jasper]

i dug myself in many holes and i got out

[upper oracle]

Thought it might've been for performance purposes. Heard some traders do that and some funds even employ psychologists for that reason apparently

[upper oracle]

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor

[surreal dust]

God what a drop

[surreal dust]

Should have sold Tesla calls

Can’t believe I forgot too haha

Crypto is pumping tho 😎

[upper oracle]

If I'm reading it right, it went up 10 dollars after close

[surreal dust]

Oh I misread my bad

[upper oracle]

yup, we got a gap up

[quiet turret]

Big gap up

[upper oracle]

about 230 points from close, damn

[surreal dust]

We gapped up?

[upper oracle]

Caca! You need to see this shit

[agile jasper]

i am

but playing games

[surreal dust]

My TV shows down

[upper oracle]

Tesler

because everything's computer

[old arrow]

Which ticker bro?

[quiet turret]

Beautiful short scalp

[old arrow]

XAUUSD went opposite direction

[upper oracle]

Not only Tesla it seems. Everything's up at least 3% post close

[upper oracle]

Inverse relationship

[quiet turret]

Busy traveling and trading

[sand citrus]

Anyone lookin at gold atm?

For an long

[upper oracle]

having fun?

[upper oracle]

don't trade gold. Not my cup of tea

[quiet turret]

How you been?

[upper oracle]

been doing well. Almost had a 1k red day but recovered to 1.1k in profit today

[surreal dust]

omg

my crypto

went through the roof

😂

[upper oracle]

Also got some more info on Options and I'm currently looking at CARVANA to pitch as a short

[surreal dust]

😂

LFG

[upper oracle]

wtf

congrats mate

that profit is realized right?

[surreal dust]

no I am holding them open still

got so many wont post them all here

[surreal dust]

hope the travels are going well BT

[upper oracle]

give us the best one and we're happy 🙂

[upper oracle]

You still trade that dinosaur of a coin?

[surreal dust]

meme ? 😄

[surreal dust]

that is my biggest spot and futures trade ... ETH

was there some news?

or is this just cause Trump said he wouldn't fire Powell now

[upper oracle]

back to the roots?😂

[upper oracle]

seems to be a big reason. Tesla's up but so is everyone else suddenly. About 3% each with Tesla at 4-5

[upper oracle]

Is there a reason for that?

[surreal dust]

ah I see loads of tariff news

too

even tho it is red

[surreal dust]

I was originally mining ETH back when it was 200 USD

so I have a lot of it

and it has always been my biggst bag as I have been a big fan of the project

[upper oracle]

lol where?

[surreal dust]

FJ

it is just not red

but it is filled with Trump commentary on tariffs

[upper oracle]

time?

[surreal dust]

just read it all

it is still going now

well maybe trump stopped an hour ago

[upper oracle]

Trump: China will be pleased

🤣

[surreal dust]

DAMMIT

my Nvidia profit got hit

on my broker

grrr

[upper oracle]

you went short?

[surreal dust]

no i was long from yesterday

set the TP too low

[upper oracle]

Oof, I basically read "my profit got crushed" not "take profit hit"

[surreal dust]

ah haha

no thankfully

[upper oracle]

The Greeeeed

[surreal dust]

man I hope I hold ETH back up to ATH

lol

can buy two of Lingles lambos then 😄

[upper oracle]

yup concluded about an hour ago

we've been friends since second grade you know

[surreal dust]

you got a big gap there BT 😄

[upper oracle]

Or I'm just very young while you're in prime shape

If you didn't like that joke, apologies for the disrespect

[quiet turret]

Levels

[quiet turret]

Yes, how we can fill the gap

[surreal dust]

nice BT thanks

[surreal dust]

hopefully we dont and just leave it in the dust 😄

[surreal dust]

haha not at all... if you can't laugh .... 🤷‍♂️ or maybe I laugh too much

but otherwise I'd go crazy with fustration 😄

[quiet turret]

No gap on QQQ

[lost rose]

What the gap

[upper oracle]

nice, Micky doesn't mind Asian jokes either. Let's see how far I can take it with offensive jokes

[quiet turret]

Sold some weekly options. I am all good on upside. No loss.

[upper oracle]

Know that feeling. Knowing about the world is cool but a curse

[upper oracle]

Trump statements between close and open

[quiet turret]

What was the news?

[upper oracle]

like a bag of smarties

[quiet turret]

Good timing with TSLA earnings. He got Tesla's back.

[surreal dust]

i was really thinking about doing that today

wish I did :/

[upper oracle]

That China will be pleased, some positive things on tariffs. Then he also praised Powell and said that there are no plans and that there never were plans to dismiss him

[turbid musk]

Waiting for it to go up or to go down

[surreal dust]

will be interesting to see if we fill the gap or not

[surreal dust]

but I feel down first and then up

[heady solar]

It will go up

[upper oracle]

doesn't the fill have to happen during NY to be considered valid?

[upper oracle]

@surreal dust

You need to see this shit

[quiet turret]

Beautiful short scalp

[upper oracle]

look at his role

[surreal dust]

will be interesting to see if Gold and Silver go risk off this week

[surreal dust]

dont

😩

[heady solar]

What's it doing

Been trading gold for 5 years so calm dowm

[heady solar]

Down

[turbid musk]

You think this is a good trade

[quiet turret]

Asia will try to bring Gold back up

[upper oracle]

We probably can't even grasp how deep down the rabbit hole goes

[heady solar]

Gold will go up slightly then melt

Are you ok

[upper oracle]

me?

[heady solar]

Yeh you

Stop being a child lad

[upper oracle]

Just perpetuating a conspiracy

you?

I’d love to short sitting on my hands

Save the trolling for AOL chat you beaut

[agile jasper]

this FOMO is killing me

[surreal dust]

no comment lol

[surreal dust]

yeah I feel grateful I entered that NQ long on my brokage 2 days ago now

great timing

also my crypto entries were pretty sexy

nice 4 hour closes on BTC and ETH

and markets too it looks like

just annoyed I lost my nvidia position but oh well

[surreal dust]

you going to trade this asia session?

can't decide if i want to sleep or take some easy wins lol

[agile jasper]

on paper for now yeah. i would have longed at 700's i had a limit buy earlier on but never got in

if i long on on prop firms i'll get a 200 points pullback

[turbid musk]

So up and down

[agile jasper]

if i long on paper, it'll go to the moon

can't win. back to playing games

[turbid musk]

Ya it's rough i think London is better but I can't sleep early enough for it

[agile jasper]

not interested

[cedar flicker]

done for the day

[turbid musk]

Preparing to short

Waiting

[upper oracle]

must be a blast at parties

[upper oracle]

when's London Open in your time zone?

[turbid musk]

I live in EST it is 656pm est here

I am trying to get used to trading asia and london

I think this is best strategy on 30s

[upper oracle]

was not asking about current. Was asking about at which time London opens for you

[heady solar]

Your the one that attacks people in a chat room

[lost rose]

Like in 7hrs

[turbid musk]

2am to 5am est London Killzone

[lost rose]

I think + or - 30 mins

I’m in EST as well

[upper oracle]

alright, that's tough...

[turbid musk]

Yes i would have to sleep now.

But i know a trader who trades London and is doing okay with it. He works NY AM and PM like me.

[upper oracle]

What attack?

[surreal dust]

happy with that

nice quick scalp

[upper oracle]

looked up. 8 hours

[agile jasper]

midnight volatility

[surreal dust]

nice it went my way

[finite cradle]

Huh

[agile jasper]

went my way on paper 😂

[surreal dust]

My God SUI

is on STEROIDS right now

[surreal dust]

still a win 😄

[upper oracle]

Knew you wouldn't be able to not touch the PA. Even if with protection haha

[surreal dust]

better get out the way of that one boys

added into my position for that

[turbid musk]

Shorting

[upper oracle]

just my impression or does Asia seem a lot more active than a week ago?

[surreal dust]

my crypto trades from yesterday just did a 10x in my trading account 😂

[surreal dust]

yeah alot happening

also alot of Asia news was out

[upper oracle]

well, not going to touch it... using the time to draw some stuff

[turbid musk]

I think it's going to sweep that high first

All my shorts are dying

[upper oracle]

just noticed, we basically closed last session at the SH of the day before that

[surreal dust]

ok last one

then I am going to bed

[agile jasper]

apex 90% off

[surreal dust]

i want to make a +1 joke but I am too tired

so I will say

thank you 😄

[upper oracle]

do it

[surreal dust]

i dont have it in me

I am old

its past my bedtime

and I have the school run soon 😂

[upper oracle]

You're going to remember that now huh

🤣

[turbid musk]

Until when i heard there was a sale until April 30. Will any code work

I seem to only do better with apex accounts it has largest DD 2500

[surreal dust]

with age comes wisdom 😉

[surreal dust]

i like Apex honestly never had a problem with them

lost count of the payouts now

[turbid musk]

Yea thats good

[surreal dust]

and I am actually more disciplined on Apex

which is funny

[turbid musk]

My very first payout was with apex too

[surreal dust]

I had my 1st ever payout request with them denied... for going over the consistency rule but never had an issue after that

i am definitely 12+ payouts now

since Nov I think

yeah will be Nov

[turbid musk]

Great

Ya they hsve a nice system now with their 3.0 payout rules

[upper oracle]

I will at least try my best to remember and honor what you want to be written on your gravestone: "Defied VWAP till the end"

[surreal dust]

make sure you finish Caca off then too

he will be too old to fight back

i bet he is practising Red Alert right now for our match later

[turbid musk]

I will flip 1 micro tomorrow for day 8

[upper oracle]

people will just see me randomly hitting an elderly person

though... I don't even know how old he is. Could be younger than me for all I know

[surreal dust]

lol this is meant to be my 500 usd a day account

I am so bad

[upper oracle]

I don't see any wrongdoings

[surreal dust]

can't help holding the trades

well I am meant to close at 500

and walk away each day on this account

and lock out

lol

[upper oracle]

self-imposed?

[surreal dust]

yes it is my experiment account

[upper oracle]

then just go ham 🙂

[surreal dust]

500 x 30 days = 15k

[surreal dust]

I am doing that on another account

and then the others I am just copy trading

[upper oracle]

Is there a reason for the 500 cap?

[surreal dust]

just to keep me interested lol

[lost rose]

gimmme a damn bos

[surreal dust]

but 15k every 30 days is a pretty good return anyway

[lost rose]

x5 accounts...

[surreal dust]

Yup I dont do that

[upper oracle]

well, double is double

[surreal dust]

but I am setting up bulenox now to do 5 x $500 a day hopefully

topstep will just trade as i normally do

apart from that 1 account

[upper oracle]

Actually crazy amount when you also consider that he has Apex etc

[upper oracle]

no copy trading?

[surreal dust]

3 are on copy

1 is for degen

1 for 500 a day experiment

[upper oracle]

obviously

[surreal dust]

i need it.. otherwise i feel fomo

so this is the best solution for me

[lost rose]

lol i havent been profitable for a min lol i had 20 apex accounts and was getting close to my first 2k payout acrooss all of em and went ful tilt

[surreal dust]

stay tight with the copy trade and the 500 a day account

[lost rose]

the news messed me up

[surreal dust]

and then degend with my aggressive account

[upper oracle]

smart way to ward off greed

[lost rose]

been building back since

[surreal dust]

ah that sucks

but apparently 90% sale on now

according to Caca!

[upper oracle]

with all 20?

[surreal dust]

so good time to load up

[lost rose]

yep cuz i copy traded all of em

[upper oracle]

painful. Recovering well?

[surreal dust]

copy trade account

[lost rose]

was trading full minis

[surreal dust]

and prob 50k account too right? So no real buffer I am guessing

[lost rose]

not really have 5 combines with topstep and was 500 bucks away from passing and lost 1500 the last 2 days

over trading and getting tricked really

just been fuckin griding because i do so shitty in evals

just wanna pass em so fast that i throw all the rules out

[upper oracle]

all of you with your billions of accounts haha. Meanwhile, I've only got one. Novice surrounded by veterans

[surreal dust]

yes I just locked myself out for an hour so I can't trade and go to bed lol

[lost rose]

exactly

[surreal dust]

i hate the 50ks

i only trade 100-300k on Apex

on bulenox or whatever it is called I am going for 5 x 100 and 1 x 150

[lost rose]

whats the strat there?

with the bigger accounts?

[surreal dust]

bigger room to die on first trades

lol

psychologically i feel I need the buffer

i trade better knowing it is is there

i found that while passing the 50ks is fine... when I have a 50k in a funded account it doesn't work for me very well

so i prefer the extra expensive to get a bit more safety

[lost rose]

yeah dd is nuts on apex i never had issues with it before but the tarrif news was so bad for my trading

i see

but once u take payouts still cant let it go to 0

just after first payout

[surreal dust]

well there is the safety net on apex too

and it is bigger on bigger accounts

also takes longer to build them up tho lol

but that just suits me more personally

[upper oracle]

Can relate

[surreal dust]

my 300k account is always hovering at around 12k profit

before I take my payout

so always lots of room

[upper oracle]

Did you get too excited or just bad luck?

[lost rose]

both! hahah

[surreal dust]

worse combo

when you go full tilt and then get the back luck

hah

[lost rose]

so close and my trades was going my way and then i let it go full stop loss like an idiot and then hopped in a short when trend was way to strong bullish

rn im looking to enter a short on NQ for the retrce to the bearish fvg 768 level

[surreal dust]

can be so hard to walk away sometimes

[lost rose]

see how that plays

[lost rose]

forsure!

[surreal dust]

but all part of becoming a better trader

[upper oracle]

Like I‘m talking to myself😂

[lost rose]

It really is the eval phases that mess me up once live i just lock out

[surreal dust]

have to learn the hard lessons

Caca gave a good example earlier today

[lost rose]

the news what rekt my 20 apex accounts was another issue that was just full tilt and i knew it

[upper oracle]

100-150 is the Gold Standard

[surreal dust]

haha is better or worse when you know

https://tenor.com/view/sad-fac-attorney-attorney-fucks-up-forsvarsadvokat-gif-13125291

[lost rose]

hahhaha i just go quiet

wife no see me excited anymore hahaha

[upper oracle]

You can stay composed after that?

[surreal dust]

haha

[upper oracle]

I go on a rant

[lost rose]

worst part i was so consistent and doing well that i quit my job hahhaha

then tarrifs hit hard lmaooo

[surreal dust]

alright guys I am off to bed before I get sucked into a short on the index with my bulenox accounts 😂

[lost rose]

bout to to get the o'l skimask out soon

[lost rose]

hahaha lets short~

[upper oracle]

Alright, cya tomorrow, old friend

[lost rose]

just waiting for my retracement

[surreal dust]

oh man ..... well good news is you have done it before and know what it takes..... so just need to regroup and get back on the train 🙂

[lost rose]

fax night brotha manneee

[surreal dust]

night guys... happy trading !

[upper oracle]

In the end, you will get back anyway. Was one of the lucky guys who passed my first 100k eval with mff on the first day, felt like the biggest trader and got knocked off the highhorse the next day by hitting max dd on the first trade (didn‘t know that unrealized pnl triggers liquidation too) and just refrained from cutting the loss because I didn’t want to start in DD. Took about 20 more to get back. But when you‘re back, you are sooo back

[upper oracle]

any of you still active?

[nocturne sigil]

zup

[upper oracle]

of course you are haha

sup, how are you?

[lost rose]

aight in shorts

[turbid musk]

Following lux algo signals blindly.

I get in trouble when I do other stuff around the signals

[lost rose]

hmm i hope it rejects and blows throught vwap that shit bunced hard rn

[turbid musk]

Ya my new strategy trading asia and London and also NY AM 🧘

[lost rose]

hard bounce off vwaP.. WAS TRYNA STAY CLOSED UNDER LOL

[turbid musk]

😮

Nice signal

Got out

Wow waiting for next signal

[wild gyro]

Nice Ken, its hard in the Asian session

[turbid musk]

Yes i trade in 30s chart and look for trades 😀

If it's choppy I go to lower time frame

[tough compass]

Wow 30 sec chart that awesome

[turbid musk]

Yea and you get nice signals there and chart easier to read

[upper oracle]

for sure. Massive respect to people who can trade the PA profitably

[wild gyro]

Do you just trade ES in Asian time zone? sorry NQ?

[turbid musk]

Mostly mnq is what I'm used to. But I look at es for smt.

I think that's it. I just trade the open 6pm est and the asian open around 8pm est and then I will call it a night.

[upper oracle]

new strat?

[turbid musk]

Yeah I modify my strat all the time for market conditions

[upper oracle]

Very nice

I need details though👀

[tough compass]

Wow sounds like you got it down packed

[upper oracle]

I have to be profitable during Asia too. Purely for ego

[upper oracle]

lots of new faces today, damn

[nocturne sigil]

lurking

[golden pond]

How are you doing today?

[upper oracle]

trying short

[upper oracle]

no illegal activities here👀

[blazing mesa]

When u dominate ny session but lose it all Asia session

[upper oracle]

An effort to become liquidation-proof

[lost rose]

lowkey got scared and got out but solid trade waited for hrs for that one

[upper oracle]

You seem to be a mysterious character... Rarely see you around, let alone your trades or pnl's. You're a Sleeper?

Like watching paint dry

[upper oracle]

280 ticks

[agile jasper]

CLOSE THAT GAP

[upper oracle]

mad

[upper oracle]

you're still up too, eh?

trades?

[agile jasper]

i finished my gaming session and took a short but out now

got some accounts to pass tomorrow so focus on that

[upper oracle]

fullport PMI

[agile jasper]

last short had me sweating a bit

[agile jasper]

that's a 10 lots apex trade for sure

[upper oracle]

I'm still short. Is there a reason for it to go up?

[agile jasper]

one and done

[agile jasper]

no reason unless we close above 700

but it's been denied so far

[upper oracle]

don't like the bazooka and the lackluster movement down

trade was 50 positive, now 40 negative, oof

fml

how many points should I go for in trades during asia?

[agile jasper]

10 at a time?

take your bite and get out

[upper oracle]

should've gotten out then

was at 20 but got greedy

I know fvgs but what's that?

[agile jasper]

inverse fvg

[upper oracle]

going to remember that

Need a good range strat after all just in case

here?

wonderful. Closed at -70... This is depressing

[upper oracle]

can you mark the point you would've entered?

[hexed grotto]

Turn on inverse fair value gaps 👁️💰

Trust

[upper oracle]

will do to get a feel for it. Can't do that permanently though. I need a clean chart haha

Many thanks

[hexed grotto]

Of course

[upper oracle]

Alright, going to try that, thank you

[hexed grotto]

It doesn’t pop up often

[upper oracle]

Turned it on for now

[hexed grotto]

Yesssss

Watch what happens

[turbid musk]

I'll be back tomorrow same time.😎

[upper oracle]

probably going to hit the sack soon too

[turbid musk]

Me2. London is great too. More movements.

Awesome trades though it was great today

Should of went for 3R

[upper oracle]

Waiting for it to go up a little, set SL and let it run while I sleep

I'm being 100% serious tbh

[upper oracle]

what's your pnl today?

[turbid musk]

On 15min chart it looks like this

[upper oracle]

needs to break above VWAP a little. Then SL beneath it. That should do the trick

[upper oracle]

better than yesterday. Let's double that tomorrow haha

[turbid musk]

Haha

[upper oracle]

show proof

I just know that was Micky

Ruthless killer haha

[agile jasper]

it wasnt

[blazing mesa]

I enjoy indicators luxalgo provides 😁

[upper oracle]

Most of us do haha

[upper oracle]

what do you trade with it?

[blazing mesa]

Pac/rsi/ some other ones

Pac holds a nice handful of confluences

[upper oracle]

got good taste I see

Don't use RSI anymore, but PAC is just wonderful

What instruments?

[agile jasper]

👆

[upper oracle]

In shorts

betting on it

[upper oracle]

btw, I consider that financial advice

[agile jasper]

you do you

i do me

bed time

[upper oracle]

cya tomorrow then

[main sorrel]

gap fill or bounce?

[upper oracle]

Betting on down. Leaving the position open overnight. You in?

[main sorrel]

just my apex and bule bots going lol

prob bed for me soon

[upper oracle]

right, you got traders to represent you haha

[main sorrel]

Its wild how people here are all over the globe

[upper oracle]

what's the time right now for you?

[main sorrel]

9:46 pm

you?

[upper oracle]

almost 4am here haha

[main sorrel]

oh wow. opposite

I wouldnt mind being on those hours. could work a day job and trade NY

[upper oracle]

Still missing some active Asian traders based in Asia. Only me and Micky here and both in the west

[main sorrel]

Might be me once i get back to work. Ill be forced to play at night

[upper oracle]

It's actually a perfect time zone. Can trade Asia, London and NY in a single day

[upper oracle]

You're Asian?

[main sorrel]

no, american

[upper oracle]

ah, misunderstood

[main sorrel]

I bought that discord thing, kinda misleading haha

[upper oracle]

you mean Nitro?

[main sorrel]

yeah the icon

[upper oracle]

I don't see the reason to get it honestly. Why did you?

[main sorrel]

ive bought a couple. theyre 3 bucks and i was spending a lot of time on discords doing game stuff

[upper oracle]

and why "misleading"?

[main sorrel]

because i dont speak that language

those are my dogs tho haha

[upper oracle]

you pay 3 bucks?

[main sorrel]

Yeah discords gotten about $20 out of me over the years

[upper oracle]

I'm a little confused... dogs?

[main sorrel]

my icon of 2 dogs

[upper oracle]

nitro would cost 10 bucks per month for me haha

[upper oracle]

ah, gotcha

[main sorrel]

you can buy the backgrounds and emblem designs seperate from nitro

i dont have nitro. Only had the cheap sub before to use other server icons in for sale ads.

[upper oracle]

ahh, ok

Well, would only get nitro for the animated emojis anyway haha

[main sorrel]

I think you might get this drop. Its not trying too hard to go up here

662 nice level for retrace?

[upper oracle]

Currently in it

[main sorrel]

you got in there nice

[upper oracle]

a bit late though because I didn't trust it

[main sorrel]

you gunna hold it past b/e ?

[upper oracle]

waiting for it to make another LL. When that happens, I'll put an SL at b/e just in case itdoes move against me

No TP though

[main sorrel]

lookin good tho

[upper oracle]

Let's hope for the best haha

[main sorrel]

i'll hop in if it triggers my PAC alert

otherwise watching

[upper oracle]

when does it?

[main sorrel]

ob midigation step 1 - bos or coch step 2

[blazing mesa]

😉

[main sorrel]

i feel like its going to shoot hard in either direction

[upper oracle]

wanna join?

[main sorrel]

new 3 min red fvg

[upper oracle]

As long as it doesn't push up strongly now followed by weak selling, I feel confident in leaving this

Don't love that it failed to make an LL there

even HH

[main sorrel]

Long trigger on my bot

[upper oracle]

Well, seems about right haha

[main sorrel]

it only scalps tho

[upper oracle]

closed in profit but that's disappointing

[main sorrel]

profit is good

[upper oracle]

not in comparison to my Profit Goal for next day

Going for 4k

To show off on thursday

[main sorrel]

every time i set a profit goal, i blow up lmao. trying not to think of the numbers

think my bots taking an L on this one

[upper oracle]

doesn't matter in my case haha

[main sorrel]

lol

[upper oracle]

seems like there isn't going to be a good opportunity

cya tomorrow

[urban flint]

Took a gc scalp

Quick turns 🙂

[surreal dust]

in case anyone wants it

[surreal dust]

hold or die ? 😄

[lament spindle]

interesting

might give it a go

[surreal dust]

not cheap @agile jasper

Bulenox

[agile jasper]

nnot for me

[surreal dust]

i didn't realise it was that much

not buying anymore for now I have 2 passed and 4 more in eval

[surreal dust]

haha good luck

I am so tired only going to do a few trades today

ES

[agile jasper]

lol

[agile jasper]

hop into lucid

[surreal dust]

lucid?

[agile jasper]

$93 all in they just launched

[surreal dust]

Are they going to go bust :/

this onr right?

[agile jasper]

alot of influencers are pushing this

[agile jasper]

yeah

[surreal dust]

that is what scares me

[agile jasper]

i'm in with 5 accounts for a payout or 2 then ride them

[surreal dust]

so many go busy after this influences get their referrals fees 😅

[agile jasper]

you need to get publicity somehow

[surreal dust]

true

I just need my baby SUI back at $4 😄

then I can retire

😅

[agile jasper]

you on tradeify?

[upper oracle]

gm

how's the market today?

[surreal dust]

no but i keep meaning to look at it

do you recommend it?

[surreal dust]

holding nicely so far

will be a really interesting day

to see where we end up

[surreal dust]

are your 15 accounts all in one place or are these spread out you are trying to pass today?

[upper oracle]

yup, just opened charts. Glad I didn't go short before sleep. Would've woken up very disappointed

[surreal dust]

for sure

lol

[upper oracle]

I'm curious about whether we're going to close the gap today or not

[surreal dust]

lol watching this

250k prize money

I would decline

absolutely not

[surreal dust]

I mean would be SUPER bullish if we dont right? 😄

[upper oracle]

They need to eat stuff like that?

[surreal dust]

looks like it

no thanks lol

maybe for a 1mil I would

not 250k

I am an expensive gal

[upper oracle]

oof, would probably need the 250k for medical treatment after eating that haha

[surreal dust]

haha good point 😄

[upper oracle]

Breakeven Investment

[agile jasper]

yeah

[surreal dust]

oh i didn't get taken out lol

assumed I did

https://tenor.com/view/friends-ross-geller-david-schwimmer-im-still-alive-gif-15694188

[agile jasper]

they're on rithmic i'm get 10 apex maybe and 5 lucids which i have already

[surreal dust]

yeah I am going to get some apex today too

what is the easiest platform to copy trade apex on in your opinion Caca?

I struggle with ninja

Tradovate seems ok to me

haven't used Ritmic

[agile jasper]

rithmic or tradovate

i like rithmic quantower

you can connect multiple props on the same window and copy them eventually

[surreal dust]

rithmic quantower is this 3rd party software?

[agile jasper]

quantower is the platform

you can hook up rithmic accounts, projectx accounts

https://tenor.com/view/google-gif-25414271

[surreal dust]

thanks will google it while I go to this car wash 😄

just got my car back crazy.... took 8 weeks for the part to arrive

so I have been in a BMW X1 ... which they paid 8 weeks for

[agile jasper]

[upper oracle]

Not an XM-guy?

[lost rose]

gm

[upper oracle]

gm

[upper oracle]

damn, just noticed that it's not completely filled yet

would be crazy if we get this much movement today

[surreal dust]

@upper oracle did I or did I not call gold and silver last night 😅

[surreal dust]

Got my car back so EV6 GT

But I am actually going to change it next month …. maybe for the BYD Sealion 7 Excellence

[upper oracle]

I do not recall your honor

lots of bearish pressure all of a sudden

[lost rose]

hmm

we do got high impact news today

[surreal dust]

Dam you

[surreal dust]

Do we have news today ? Still out the house

[lost rose]

yes

[surreal dust]

Do you know what time ?

[lost rose]

@surreal dust

[agile jasper]

[upper oracle]

just kidding mate

of course I remember

[surreal dust]

Oh nice banked 3.8k

Ok that move

Just checked on my mobile 😎

[upper oracle]

why are we suddenly dropping like a rock?

[surreal dust]

Think we hit an order block

Hard to tell on my phone

I am so bad when I leave my pc 🤣

[upper oracle]

your phone?? mad

[surreal dust]

Got one account still in a trade

10k profit target 🫠

[surreal dust]

You made me login

!!!

[upper oracle]

I didn't do shit😂

[surreal dust]

Thank you

[upper oracle]

Don't blame me for your bad desicions!

[surreal dust]

Thanks Caca 😘

[surreal dust]

Was a good decision

Now I know 3 accounts made nearly 4K and closed 🙂

[upper oracle]

Oh, well I'm glad I totally made you log in

[sonic marsh]

lol 😂

[upper oracle]

and because of that, as a reward for my meritful actions, I'd just love to see a nickel in my cup 🙂

[sonic marsh]

Do you trade man

[upper oracle]

Yup, I'm a professional loss raker

[upper oracle]

you?

[sonic marsh]

lol like you lost a lot of money?

[sonic marsh]

Sure
I'm an og man

[upper oracle]

my username does suggest it haha

jk, I do alright for myself actually. Just very bad at evals

[sonic marsh]

I have been hitting geng

[upper oracle]

Great, how long and what?

[upper oracle]

geng?

[sonic marsh]

Like been hitting big gains with my community typeshit

[surreal dust]

nice 🙂

1 account still in the big boy trade 🙂

[sonic marsh]

One of the very few that shorted OM real hard

[surreal dust]

at what point

did you short OM

cause that was an AMAZING short if you caught it lol

literally free money printer on OM

[upper oracle]

Trades have gotten longer for me but I still can't see how I could have that big of a position... How do you go about it? (I buy high sell low is not a permitted answer😂 )

[surreal dust]

buy low , seller lower? 😄

[upper oracle]

Could even do a Soros-type Short with just pure stocks haha

[surreal dust]

the size is irrevelant really (expect in terms of account size)

a good trade setup is still the same whatever the sizing

so it is just a matter of getting comfortable

[upper oracle]

but SL is usually a lot more points then with shorter trades, right?

[surreal dust]

in Jan when I had my worse trading spell EVER..... i dropped down to micros.... was trading 1-5 micros... trying to build my confidence and discipline back up

so only went back to size really end of March till now really

[surreal dust]

my stop doesn't change too much 500 USD is my default (i will sometimes stretch it to 1k) but again that is because I am using 3 contracts as my default entry alot of the time now

so 500-1000 SL is not very far on 3 minis

[upper oracle]

Classic Kick to the balls. The trader's ordeal haha
Glad I went through that too already

[surreal dust]

and no i dont change for a short trade or a long trade

still same SL

[sonic marsh]

Yh, well did some TA on em, been following fr some days before entering a short position but didn't expect such massive dump well all I had to do was just ride. Same with my geng

[surreal dust]

it was so bad honestly... i blew 6 funded APex accounts and all five of my XFA's

[upper oracle]

you're at 2 minis per position at the moment right?

[surreal dust]

and then I got them back and blew them all again in a week

was really painful

[lost rose]

im trying to not get set up for a short trap.... its choopin right here looks like it wants to sweep run up high and then proper break low.. or am i trippin

[surreal dust]

had to really reflect and size down to micros and build back discipline

[surreal dust]

haha awesome dude !

[surreal dust]

why you trying to trap me brother

https://tenor.com/view/hasbulla-hasbik-cute-meme-influencer-gif-7197886115891548174

[lost rose]

are u short already???

[surreal dust]

I long

but been holding for a couple hours now

[upper oracle]

managed to make an LL

[surreal dust]

considering closing tbh

just watching this current 15m candle

[lost rose]

ahh yeah im tryna long but was waiting for a sweep

[surreal dust]

i already TP on the longs on my other accounts... so just letting this one account ride

this is my degen account

so I dont feel fomo later 😄

[upper oracle]

well fuck

turns out I'm betting against you

[sturdy wharf]

weeee?

peeled off 1 because I entered 3 contracts short like a mad man

good enough to SS good enough to exit im out

[surreal dust]

shorts look good

I would have shorted on buelnox or APex if I had been home

[nocturne sigil]

You folks monitor the dollar with your trades?

[sturdy wharf]

bonds on occasion

[surreal dust]

yes sir

[upper oracle]

Know that feeling. I was one of the lucky bastards who managed to pass their very first eval (mff, 100k, 8k profit goal). Didn't know back then, that unrealized pnl would also cause liquidation so I went full retard and somehow managed to stay on the right side of it.
Got funded, felt like the biggest mf and was ready to roll. Entered my first position with obscene risk, it went red, didn't cut losses and got liquidated on my very first funded trade

Hence my name

[surreal dust]

can I have a +1 for that please @nocturne sigil

Caca is tight

he doesn't give anything 😄

[upper oracle]

Basically got castrated that day

[surreal dust]

haha harsh lesson that was man lol

[sturdy wharf]

literally me

[surreal dust]

can imagine the rollcaoster of emotions on that one

cutting my long here

closed

[upper oracle]

Sure was. Took many more evals to pass after that haha

[upper oracle]

Ma man

[lost rose]

im now looking for long

that was that sweep i was looking for

[surreal dust]

I am just chillin now

[lost rose]

wanna ride up to some equal highs and let the real bearish movement show its face

[surreal dust]

would like to see 5423 on ES first tbh and then up

[nocturne sigil]

Nice 4H premium for short set-ups?

[sturdy wharf]

My first ever account was with apex and I used max margin on platinum and I was right took me like 2 days to pass and then immediatly got obliterated because I didnt realize news was at 8:30

I didnt even know what PMI or whatever it was was a thing

[surreal dust]

think most go through the same process

[surreal dust]

oh God

can you imagine

first day in a XFA or funded and you hit PPI

😂

[sturdy wharf]

I just saw myself get liquidated in an instant I was so confused

no DEADASS what happened to me

[upper oracle]

Sounds like free red light therapy to me

[sturdy wharf]

I was like did someone shoot biden like wtf

[surreal dust]

and you thought you longed a Crypto meme? 😄

[upper oracle]

The market has a way to let rookie traders win in the beginning and then suddenly increase difficulty to make them addicted haha

[surreal dust]

sign me up for that sexy 1.85%

[upper oracle]

me too. Let me oil up real quick

[surreal dust]

yeah you can be really lucky to jump in the right or wrong conditions

i was trying to help someone with trading and she started in Jan

and honestly i think that was the worse month to start lol

[upper oracle]

If I'm gonna get fucked it's gotta be smooth

[surreal dust]

it was so bad for me so I wasn't too much help for her either 🤦‍♂️

[upper oracle]

basically a 50/50 for most beginners haha

[upper oracle]

Calm waters never made a skilled sailor. She still in the game?

btw, started at the end of Jan too. Would've loved to have you mentor me haha

[surreal dust]

kinda

but i got more busy too

so don thave so much time to spare now to help

[surreal dust]

post Jan probably ok... pre Jan 01 - Feb 01 definitely not 😄

[surreal dust]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-walter-white-bryan-cranston-coward-disappointed-gif-4024901

[upper oracle]

seen the charts. That time was brutal

but right now, I'd love it

[surreal dust]

it is when you fail to adapt to new market conditions quickly

and get stuck in bias or certain mentality

which is what I did

also just had a knee OP

so going to use that as an excuse too 😂

[upper oracle]

come on man😂

seems like groovy was right about the sweep

[surreal dust]

yup so far so good

still woud like to see lower first but oh well

I am only doing two more trades to then cutting myself off

[surreal dust]

super tired from trading crypto all night

dont want to make mistakes

[upper oracle]

You don't have a daily bias either, right?

[surreal dust]

I do have them every day actually

but I also have the invalidation points where I will pivot

like most traders I guess

[surreal dust]

nice

[upper oracle]

Might've misunderstood the concept of a daily bias then. Thought it meant only looking for Shorts or Longs on the day

[lost rose]

now just need it to retace and tap me in

[upper oracle]

Hence I was under the impression that it sounds like bullshit😂

[nocturne sigil]

Stickgun is loaded

[upper oracle]

Could call it just a "Stick" too👀

[surreal dust]

https://tenor.com/view/kevinmcgarry-mcgarries-podcast-coffee-with-colin-smile-gif-26203648

[lost rose]

im gonna be pissed if it just sends now.. waited 2 hrs for that sweep lol

[upper oracle]

you could enter with 1 micro to curb your cravings 🙂

[lost rose]

its runnning into and order block.. wonder if rejects comes down to fvg and then breaks up

[lost rose]

i would but then im goin against my rules :/

[nocturne sigil]

I want one of those rubberband guns

[lost rose]

lmao i got front run... will now be looking for shorts once this sends higher mfss..

i stay paitent and wait for proper set up and it hurts when it sends withoit me

[upper oracle]

Rules are meant to be bent

[upper oracle]

jk, don't be me

[lost rose]

lmao im about to cancel it now.. but as soon as chooch printed i set a limit but it just took off

hahaha called it too smh

[surreal dust]

who you going to use it on tho 😄

[nocturne sigil]

getting ready for the summer flies

🪰

[surreal dust]

haha fun game 😄

my kids try to use nerf guns on them

rarely works

[nocturne sigil]

nice

[surreal dust]

yeah just be patient 🙂

[nocturne sigil]

looky here

I want
