careful with quitting the job for trading
yh sure lol im not thinking about quitting my job in the next time.

luckily i havent really looked at gold all week
so what happened?
cme down again?
I think it's my first trade this week cuz I've been so tired
they had a major outage back in Nov @urban flint
Down yes
Lol
save the earth
We had a strawberry festival this weekend sold around 400 flats so I'm terribly exhausted
you have a strawberry farm?
or thats the crop now and next is what?
melons?
Now we get them from the farm but I was driving back and forth for 3 days
What's terrible as they lost this year's blueberry crop
You would think that doing all this physical work for the festival and stuff would motivate me to sit down and trade more but I'm so tired I can't keep my eyes open
trade strawberry futures
where's @sturdy wharf
Looking
🍓
stuck in a natgas trade
natty also down i bet he's sweating 😂
Haha my broker doesn't have any
My traded moved one tuck in 15 minutes
Tick
Gold 5224.1
Down 23 ticks since issue
5227.4 gold
i wonder when CME comes back online with gold, if there is a HUGE gap compared to the XAU pairs?
Anyway to play this?
XAU leading?????
🤔
I can't even close my order
I don't think XAU was ever down
thats what im saying, so when CME comes back on line, can we make a play?
enter GC in the direction where XAU is now?
whats the term?
i forgot
ARBITRAGE ?
i think correct
Now my broker is saying the markets are closed
comparison
go the CME has a little to go to catch up to XAU?
HAHAHAHAA
LFG

I'll take pepperstones. As Im in a short 😂
yeah, at least you feel beter about your open position
i wonder whats the brokers rule for this?
if you lost you have a right to get it voided, but if your winning?
cant have it both ways
right?
Bslap all it's holders I think
hahahahhahahhaa
Most people would probably trade better if there trade feed froze everyday
this is true
50/50 odds
50/50 if you dont touch it
👀
NQ pumping
From my broker
margin call didn't call you yet?
Different from pepperstone
No I usually get a swanky spot
My entry is within 10 to 20 ticks. I try for less than 10 if it passes that I'm out. I try to trade when there's a balance
Hahah look at the spread top
I can't make out the password
whats yours? and Ill give you mine
🫱
shake?
Approve the logon in your app, you have 2FC verification enabled
let me know and ill try again
ES just finished filling its bearish gap from Feb 12th.
YM still 350 ticks away from its gap from the same day. How come it’s not following ES ?
Got a 150 ticks on my trade right now LOL
wasn't ES's gap filled on the 20th? high
no right or wrong here, i consider the wicks as well
Not the 1 hour
Gap High was 6962 on the 12th.
There is still a small 15m gap just above that from 6976 - 6979.75 however
Gold feed up. Gold feed up
That’s it?
what can you buy with $6.30 in the states?
A free trial
Hey when I was 9 I got 6.50 an hour for wage so not bad
topstep flattens you at 10 past
lol why not
and now when you're 25 you're getting $6.30 a day 😂
It may be a slight regression trend I’m noticing hmmm
proof
Think I pay like ~6$ a day on internet so at least we got that
WHAT? your internet bill is $180ish a month?
SURELY NOT
or you paying the internet for your entire neighborhood 😂
I live in the middle of nowhere and there are two isp’s
get elon's internet
One is absolutely awful and the other just scalps
I was considering it but I heard the ping is awful no?
Maybe better now
no idea, i don't live in the states and never used starlink
fully available in scotland
Nice nice and I just looked I pay 130$ a month
to be fair starlink is cheaper than my broadband ngl
Just internet
Oh yeah I have higher mbps like ~750, bc they limit you on total data otherwise
You ever read about how firms used to arbitrage ping through HFT between arca and nyse? It’s pretty crazy
Basically incentivized invention of microwave network technology
pretty sure that's illegal
Not sure how it’s enforced but was pretty cool, my finance professor was telling me about it, if you had the right firm location between the two you had a real advantage
It’s obsolete now as the exchanges built microwave lines direct from Chicago to NY to combat it
😴
I check now and it unfroze itself but no trades since
Send it mgc
Looks like Nq drop
How has NQ been in consolidation phase since october?? Daily TF, never seen a market chop for this long
Starlink I will need it for traveling and it also works on air plane
Some airlines have starlink internet
I have one main reason i am considering getting for when I visit, there is no internet in the building and they didnt set up internet booster
Starlink Roam lowered their price to a buy zone rate too
To $50 monthly
I wish starlink is faster like my cable internet
penetrating these higher time frame order blocks , looks to be some what of a bullish day for YM
crude is bearish as hell
interesting choice of words
heres a nice call out for the option players
GEOPOLITICAL
US Army is buying Switchblade drones (AVAV) for USD 186mln, according to Axio
they beat profit expepctationg by 5% wtf. they are so big they are like we just made an extra billion no biggie
dow popping off
should be a volatile day
haha
PA has been super easy to read, very happy about that
December was a rough month
Damn micky is quicker at banning than I am at pointing it out
one and done
damn dow is killing it
NVDA straight down
typical nvdia when ever they beat they flush out all the call buyers next day ,been happening for the last couple years
don't think buyers are ready for today at all
ES just made new lows
nnew low
25090?
well i got stopped out in profit on NQ and ES lol so I need to reneter 😂
still in US30
can we go there 😂
chop fest
100 more points to my target
get them in a taxi, i told you numerous times
hire @turbid musk
That liquidity grab is damn nice
25090
Caca would never....
sure buddy
how we all gonna eat your wagyu if you are so tight on 20 points
10% rule, always tip the doorman
I wanna see it hit 989 if possible, run through that liquidity area
I am testing this trying to find best time for new york am for accuracy. On default setting 1 minute seems okay
i tip at 72 not 90
did you play with the new quant update yet @turbid musk ?
Hopefully we get a nice retest of 155-156 on nq.....
i am expecting big bots from you
i saw that.. that looks cool
we must hope
ahh the greed...
only holding US30 short now
Nah its just being silly, you gotta trust....
i only trust Caca to screw me
can I hedge then 
Ik it, caca is using us as his LIQUDITY
shouldve known sooner
it's all about winning
always has been
really if you think about it all we need is micky to tell nq to go down and it will
MICKY SAID IT!!!!
YESSSS
careful, he's watching
W micky
uh oh
none of the above
And im done for the day, thanks caca!
Comin down to the weekly vwap maybe
Achilles put your tp on 72 and it will happen
anytime
put your mind to it
Opening new eval for my friends strategy
Who trades options here
i'll give you my BTC address for the share ok? or you have it saved
send me I know some peeps
had to make @surreal dust happy and gavce him the targets as well
just need NKD to dump quite a bit more than i can be passed with my 300k eval
turn it off now
oil is going insane too
@surreal dust why do you have to be such a bad influence on me....
I am the good one 😄
he said 25072 not 24972 HELLO
10k more till passing my 300k i already passed three of them already
you nearly pushed @hoary shard aff a cliff
hey now, I did risk anything tbf
you guys are lowkey goats tho, I always love coming in here a couple days a week and catching sum trades w you boys!
Double liquidity grab in 10 mintes, huge response. Love to see it
hopefully it goes down more sheesh
plus my top step
lol i might pass a 300k eval trading Nikkei on the super dom
Idt I’ve ever tried a 300k eval
harder than 50ks
What’s the incentive then? Price point to capital?
i came really close to passing 5 , but i passed three already blew one account , just letting the others trake a breather because i want to create an army of them before i go yolo , its hard to focus when youre trying to pass other evals while trying to go full port on your actual 300k
no incentive IMO. compare target + dd on 50k vs on 300k
no the incentive is the trailing drawdown , you just have a bigger net to make mistakes and scale a lot better so 300k is the way to go
but 300ks are hard to get i understand , but if you look at the right moves and macro youre good , higher timeframes are the way to play it
hmmmmmmm
More than 6$ today
Every time I post a pic imma make it look more and more like a scam to keep micky on his toes

AHAHAHAHAHAHA
I’m always tilted hehe
you're playing with fire son
this absolutely gives scam vibes🤣
haha that is so funny
post more please
Baby's got more bread than me 💔
come on nikkei go down more bitch !
Put Kai Cenet in the background, maybe logan paul
Need to edit in a fake micky Twitter account lol
someone say something?
time to go back to work
lets do this
I’m almost there with my strat I’ve been building
Taken like 3 months so far
I might get bulenox and put 20 micro on it instead of 10 to pass account quickly with my friends strategy
Have one more library to build than can dial in
10 is recommended and it should pass within 2 weeks
Nice there is quant ai released now
I use ai to help with syntax errors in coding I’m not that good with pine script yet
Built a cool OR indicator this week though
yes, mainly wanted to make it so i co9uld have 4 active ranges marked at a time 3m,15m,30m and then an open 30 for evening. has targets too and signals but nothing crazy there.
5min orb i also trade sometimes now im looking ninja trader
and it auto marks the ticks at the end of the range, which i used to do manually
so i can be lazy hehe
i do as well
Have you seen beast mode orb indicator its trailing stop feature is useful for catching the longer runs
Really curious backtests of orb strategy 5min
The way I trade is with more confirmation
Ive seen auto strategies with orb + macd filter or orb + engulfing candle
Regular close above the line is no good.
Ive been looking into similar, hard to backtest it well, almost need to make a backend harness to really figure it out
This is yours? Nice.
perfect 60 ticks short mnq
my one trade today
too busy with Quant? 😂
Yes
Power user since launch
NQ pumping random
Yes, finished it up a few days ago, making a couple visual improvements too
3 min opening range, i approve ✅
You started me on it tbh
missed this
Watch out for potential reversal zone on NQ
If sellers protect 25070-25080, should turn around to opening range 24890.
If it breaks, should be a nice run up and good afternoon balance
If it blows the roof off its smooth sailing to 25150 for a nice scalp
Delta volume has dried up on buyer side. Divergence toward seller. Don't think itll break. Think we got reversal maybe?
Everytime you post for a sec I think it’s a panorama haha
at least it's not a scam photo like the ones we saw today

I took notes it’s too late
The next one is gonna be great
all business no fun 😄
This was today’s challenge 🤣 Was fully ready to dig a hole trying to get that 60 cents.
Who in here can tell me wassup with luxalgos trading strategies? Do they actually print fr?
yall getting payouts with using them?
Is this solely from a strategy that luxalgo created?
No, unfortunately the lux tool kit can really send you for a dizzy searching for a strat. What I have found over the years using it is to pick a single indicator and watch it for a while. It’ll help you find what you like to use weather it be price action concepts or oscillator etc..
nikkei is going to take a huge dump imo , but as soon as i type this it will probably turn bullish
Ah finally found the banner I was looking for
Highlighting:
- Cyberpunk Asia with neon lights
- Kanji signs
- Modern city at night
Thanks for this sooo basically the strategies that they show that have crazy backtest results dont actually work fr..?
You would need to make changes to ANY strategy that fits with a prop firm, as each prop firm has their own specific rules. Its not about strategies generated by LuxAlgo, its about how well you make your adjustments to any of the propfirms rules.
Thanks, i figured this would be the case. Just wanted to see if i could get some insights from someone that has gotta some good profits from the strategies to see if actually works lol
Yeah, we have tons of members here in fututes that do get consistent payouts thats for sure...
Im jealous
HAHAHAH
👀👀
Theres a few people who have made good strategies on their own. Some even automate them.
Hey @nocturne sigil im trying to replicate a strategy and its telling me to open the luxalgo backtester in my invite only scripts but i dont have this... I only have the screeners..
Do i have to be in premium to get this?
The backtesters are only accessible for Ultimate members
So how do i get the strategy over to tradingview?
I know how to put the code in pine script and what not but i dont even see the code for the strategy
You are not able to, unless you are Ultimate member
Oh wow lol, speaking of i was gonna upgrade but its making me buy a whole premium memebership, can i not just pay the extra bit instead the whole plan...
Not an option at this moment
Tuff🥴
Like credits?
I just want to be able to upgrade to premium with have to pay for the whole plane since i already paid for pro lol dont really need credits and what not right now i just got pro today!
you can actually get with the accounts team to see how they can handle this for you since you just joined:
Support@LuxAlgo.com
yea i just talked with support they just refunded my premuim and now i will just purchase the ultimate!
thanks bro!
Nice!!!!!
Not much to see here
move along
Yeah, no trade until tomorrow. Took one scalp here, winner but I am again back just looking at the HtF realizing that it’s pretty choppy 🙂
Es is essentially flat and ranging.
Nq is about the same. Gold still slow grind up, but very slow at this point 😉
Wonder when we get the real
Pivot?
sticks?
yeah everything is garbage right now
its hard to find a good entry point for things but if you zoom out on the charts everything looks hella bearish
on all the indexes
oil looks pretty good for a short
just got to find that entry
Working on something now. New custom automation
I have headache 🥷🏧
aspirin
A friends sent a similar chart and said what you think. Could not even see the price 😂
Nice one, have the same lines, auto but not quant
is that the quaint thing . and is that fractal patterns ?
yes Quant
I prompted what I wanted and boom
need to clean it up later, still not perfect
yeah you guys were talking up a storm about it , havent had time to check it out properly, probably will this weekend when i have some spare time . but i been looking for fractals tho so i might play around with it
hello
Morning ☕
pre news position
lets see if its still alive closer to the time lol
welp didn't last long lol have to wait again 😂
wow NQ
come to daddy lol
trailing now
took 750 profit
playing it careful for now
last try before the open
small us30 long.... builder position
will move to be soon
Quant AI 
sl be on us30 now
bot power
are you using it? is it working well?
its just an example i just created to give a guide on how to actually prompt quant and then optimise it - ive used majority of my tokens yesterday LOL
but it looks pretty good this one ngl
i took a whim on gold after i created it and banked 1.5k LOL
interesting
1.5k 👀 looks good
what is it called I can't see it in my indicator list
its not, its on Lux website - our new update. Can build any indicator or strategy based on your prompts
ahhhhhh
can i tell it to build me breakfast too 😄
haha if only
sl moved up on NQ and US30 longs
fresh tomato juice in bed.... for breakfast the stuff of Kings 😄
and on that note, im leaving LOL
easiest opening range ever
950 vwap NQ
took profit
My TV vwap and topstepx hlc3 vwap are never the same
Even though both locked to session which is odd
just checked and they're the same for me
Hmmm
Gotta love chop on a friday
chop city now
I agree, chop city has arrived
should I?
GC was on a tear before the open if you traded it
i want the news trade
with this wedge
what i want, doesnt mean what i will do
LOL
dont follow me for more recipes
ah construction spending

"On todays episode of is NQ gonna dump or not?"
here we go, ES and NQ pumping
chop city caca cmon now
gold is dead
NQ is scalpers paradise atm
sorry I only traded for 8 seconds today and i'm done
Just printing perfect retracements lol
Same, 2 mins and im out. Going to paly WoW to occupy myself
i'm getting FOMO though...
I learned I need to stop getting FOMO, lost too much money now overtrading during the day
yes, we all know how the "one more trade" ends
Ends with me liquidating my 10 funded accounts all at once
enjoy your weekend
been there done that
250-ish days, exclude some bank holidays and you get 230ish days
quick maths x$300 a day
im live streaming about Quant in a few, come join if you want
The pnl on the bottom right conflicting with another indicator. No option to move it to middle right.
My chart needs tweaking of the settings
well after about 3 months, finally got my algo to compile and run right
now time to improve and make it actually profitable haha
quant?
from scratch (had to build 7 libs the strat imports so thats why it took a long time)
might have to have quant luxify the visuals or something once its finished
everything i script is ugly af
Well that sums up February. What a terrible ranging market it has been. Let’s see what march brings
I was voice chatting with gemini about automation driving to work it was a long drive
Do you know if quant can work with libraries/imports? I wonder how good it is improving logic across multiple instances, my scripts are pretty complicated.
try quant i bet it will get your script done in max 10 prompts
Yeah maybe i can get it to review/improve it
credits reset every month, you have 5k credits just use them
Just joined, ready to see how great this community is💯
welcome CEO
yea like an optimized model built on it i mean
i mean its built on an llm
like which one
to be fair I have no idea what's under the hood. we'll never know (we = mods)
or users
haha ok
proprietary stuff
yea i mean theres ways to figure it out but i wont say haha
micky already trying to false ban me for posting profits anyway
scary out here
you dodged a bullet today. red day or no trade day?
😂
im green across the board!
but i lowkey forgot i was gonna do a whole fake micky twitter thing too
we're still inside the oct 10th candle, that's the tariff candle
@nocturne sigil potential scammer
Dodged (was old one accidentally)
"Yes, Claude has a voice mode feature on its mobile app (iOS and Android) that allows for real-time, spoken conversations"
I would like to voice chat with claude too.
ive done that to prepare for ajob interview, quite interesting
and the verdict is?
Pretty interesting, using quant to adjust a prior regime filter indicator working on. I honestly was not expecting it to be as capable as it was. It definitely oversimplified some aspects of the code, but visually improved it and in some areas helped the logic. But overall, I would say its pretty impressive, very good for troubleshooting it seems as well
I think I will Luxify my ORB indicator next and see how it does hehe
might actually see if I can do my ORB strategy with quant. won't share it with the class though

don't want everyone to get rich
For ref the top ind was before and bottom is after quant. They import a config and a regime calc lib, which quant reviewed first.
I mean you are indirectly sharing it with the class if you upload it ;)
i mean to quant ahaha
i'll keep it for myself just like someone else we cannot name (cough cough @turbid musk )
lol
yeah but don't know if you can ask "what is caca's ORB that he built x days ago?"
LOL
oh ill find a way
btw i should also say that having the ai review my script/improve it over 5 prompts or so ate 3k credits haha
which is understandable because thats ~2k lines of code
get as much info as possible in a single prompt
definitely, experiementing a bit to see how much info it can take in one go without information refractions/hallucinations
I would like to try @agile jasper orb will there be a section for quant buult scripts ✨️🤩
there is one already #1128499789437354106
I will ask quant ai to make one with this configuration @agile jasper
Mental. To me this looks like stagflation
What’s more important payouts or consistency
Depends on each prop firms rules, I suppose.
Learning how to trade and read and analyze the charts is one thing, but learning to trade to the prop firms rules are another.
Two differnt things in my opinion.
But, maybe consistency leads to payouts, right?
I think also depends on how you trade
scammer booted
today my friends bot took a small loss, but my new program froze my ninja today and i had to reboot ninja and it saved me from the loss in my funded 😅 running bots is questionable on fridays, just take the profit and run before lunch.
hey @nocturne sigil - Do you have any good Swing strategy- found this note from your previous post but couldn't find any video 🙁
hmmm that post was dated June 16, 2025, lets try to find that
Oh it said it was not recorded.
But I know what it was about
it was about a 4hour structure set-up and using fibs
Scroll through the streams and the title should have "4H" in it
Or swing
@rose fiber Here's one
#1199356285813006367 message
let me check, thanks much
Oils is bullish targeting 79
Scammer booted
watch NQ sunday open
I recently, two weeks to be exact, started trading futures. I have never done any furthers trading before . Started with micro crude oil. 1st week was bit of rough. Ended my first week ie last week , with some losses. By the end of second week ie this week, I learned from my mistakes, blocked my emotions and made decisions based on what indicators and charts are saying. Ended up making good profits on the investment, covering losses from last week. I am using LuxAlgo PAC and Signals & Overlays toolkit. I would like to request trading gurus, if they have any suggestions, techniques and recommendations for beginners like me.
Yeah, mess of a week incoming
NQ weekend cfd is down 300 points right now
where u can see that?
Yeah risk off
Scammer booted
Can’t wait to see the bearish opening gap on Monday because of the Iran bombing
I wonder how hard this is gonna impact the market this time, considering the AI bubble and whatnot
Anyone got a solid strat from the ai that would be successful with future prop accounts? The ones i keep trying to create have great results but either the drawdown is to much or it holds trades for days which isnt allowed on all future props if im not mistaken…
anyone have a good NQ,GC or ES strat? tried fiddling with AI assistant but got locked out quick
Eyeballs tired now was staring at ninja since morning to evening
Im running backtest of February overnight
The US timed missile attacks with Israel, destroying Iran 😂😂 markets gotta go wild tmrw open
its crazy they do this all with the futures market in mind , notice how most of this crazy shit only happens when its on a saturday or friday when all markets are closed
except crypto , but futures markets especially , since they have everything trading on there
Can u share this chart or strat, seems like a lot going on there
It’s almost like it’s all timed or something
He’s a spammer. Posts a bunch of flexing and never shares anything.
Disregard him 😂
😅
Still a work in progress only spent 1 day on it
Why are western buildings and infastructure look so dilapidated compared to asia.
Why is there no cost efficient high speed rail
Economic and infastructure bottle necks in the west are everywhere and by no means efficient
There is no way the west can compete with the rapid development and rise of asia
..
I visited asia not too long ago, I immediately noticed this.
My personal observation: u.s. versus asia
It always depends on the region you went to and the regions you're comparing it to. It's difficult to make an accurate assessment, given you compare two halves of the world and definitely haven't seen all of it. Just parts of it that you wanted to visit. If I for example, live in a very run down village in Italy, I'm not going to choose another run down village in Thailand or China to visit. So obviously, it will be an upgrade.
look at ghost towns in China for example
obviously you wouldn't go there. But if you would, you would see that it's even worse there
China already has an army of robots doing backflips
I just saw video
well, that's not about infrastructure. It also has a lot to do with the awful salaries in China
you live in the US, right?
If so, go live in China for a while and you'll see what I mean
A place you spend your holidays at, always seems better than the place you work at
He is just another looney from hicksville trying to turn the world upside down.
Gold gonna pump at the open?
Hoping for it
Big Yahu make me a millionaire🙏
Def going to be a wild few days
Im not the only one who thinks so?
His youtube channel has over 600k subscribers
And all he talks about is how china is far more advanced than usa
He is from the UK
Its old news my friend
This video was made 2 years ago
Lol?
It's one channel called "Living in China".
Don't try to act condescending
whats up in here?
Nothing much
Typical geopolitics analysis and discussion
But China and Asia represent about 75% of world population
So 75% of the world probably thinks similar towards the west.
well, no

Expected
🧐
NQ going up too? 🧐
working on a new strategy this is wild one
trend is your friend
China represents only 17% of world’s population…
Asia is easily the most populated continent in the world at 4.6 billion people; this equates to about 59 percent of the total global population. It is also the continent that has experienced the most growth.
I was referring the continent of Asia which has the following countries contributing to the 60% of world population
Afghanistan
Armenia
Azerbaijan
Bahrain
Bangladesh
Bhutan
Brunei
Cambodia
China
Cyprus
Georgia
India
Indonesia
Iran
Iraq
Israel
Japan
Jordan
Kazakhstan
Kuwait
Kyrgyzstan
Laos
Lebanon
Malaysia
Maldives
Mongolia
Myanmar (Burma)
Nepal
North Korea
Oman
Pakistan
Palestine
Philippines
Qatar
Russia (partially in Asia)
Saudi Arabia
Singapore
South Korea
Sri Lanka
Syria
Taiwan
Tajikistan
Thailand
Timor-Leste
Turkey (partially in Asia)
Turkmenistan
United Arab Emirates
Uzbekistan
Vietnam
Yemen
Ik
Booted
lol im sure you just copy and pasted that
I looked upon the Convo
But I think you are missing the point here it isn't about infrastructure, the other guy is talking about awful salaries in china
Yup for the complete list for the continents of asia. But I knew the general fact that China and India are #1 and #2 in population.
Cost of living is a lot lower in China. The purchasing power factor is higher versus if you were living in the west with what you can purchase with your salary. You would still have more to spend in China 🇨🇳.
Most employers cover housing and the benefit package is so nice as well, even cover plane fare every year. Healthcare is one of the lowest compared to any western system. Safety is highest also versus the west.
China is also 5000 years old and the USA only 249 years old.
..
So even if the salaries were "awful" in China 🇨🇳. They can save more than their U.S. counterpart.
I also know the salaries for some positions since I have access to the job boards for foreigners and the salaries are equivalent to the u.s., they aren't "lower," and with higher benefits and the ability to save more money every year.
China 🇨🇳 offers a much more competitive package.
Explain that to the other guy, I wasn't the one talking about salaries in China
Also if you say so
First of US has the highest PPP
The statement China would save more compared to US counterpart
Due to PPP is not true
China has lower inflation than the US that's one of the main reasons why they would be able to save more
For a civilization 5,000 years should be number one in everything by now and shouldn't be compiting with a country less than a quarter year old to them
China's growth is all because of economic reform in 1978
Before that they were starving and dying due to GLF and the great proletarian revolution under Mao Zedong
Without Economic Reforms in 1978 China would've been in a worse position in what most of the African countries are today like South Sudan etc
It's history is irrelevant to its success today
While every year of US's History is relevant to its success
In terms of raw GDP (PPP), China actually overtook the US in 2014. PPP measures volume, not just "cheapness."
History isn't a race; it’s a cycle.
Large, ancient civilizations often suffer from "Institutional Inertia." The US succeeded because it was a "startup" nation—unburdened by thousands of years of feudal systems. China’s current growth isn't "new" success; it’s a reversion to the mean. For 18 of the last 20 centuries, China had the world’s largest economy.
Many struggling nations in Africa were "created" by colonial lines on a map. China has been a coherent geopolitical entity for millennia. The 1978 reforms were the spark, but the fuel was a literate, unified population.
Every year of US history is relevant because it’s a story of continuity. China’s history is relevant as a story of resilience. The "Confucian Work Ethic" (valuing education and hierarchy) is 2,500 years old and is the primary driver of their modern industrial discipline.
China didn't succeed despite its history; it succeeded because its history provided a stable state structure that could actually handle the 1978 reforms. Comparing them to a modern 'failed state' ignores the fact that China had a working civil service and a unified national identity 2,000 years before the US existed.
Absolute PPP is subject to money illusion that's like economic 101
It isn't used to Calculate HDI for a reason
That's why Real PPP is used which US tops as of right now
And PPP measures the value of money in terms of goods and services
Not "Volume or Cheapness"
Or whatever you said
I don't wanna get into philosophy here, China's growth today is all because of 1978's economic reforms and death of Mao Zedong in 1976 before that ppl were starving economy crushed 30 million dead
1978 was the year of reset after GLF and 1978 nothing is relevant for China's success today
I thought you were using ChatGPT here
But no it would've not defined PPP wrong
Weird
Results from entire month of February Backtest
Nominal GDP and PPP GDP are two different ways of measuring the same thing. You cannot have "Nominal PPP."
The UN Human Development Index (HDI) specifically uses GNI per capita (PPP).
They use PPP because if they used Nominal, people in developing countries would look like they are starving even if they have plenty of local food/housing, just because their currency is weak on the global market.
HDI uses PPP, not Nominal, to avoid the "Money Illusion."
"Money Illusion" works both ways. If a haircut costs $50 in NYC and $5 in Shanghai, the $50 isn't "more" economic activity—it's just a higher price for the same service. For a citizen’s quality of life (the core of HDI), PPP is the standard, because it adjusts for the internal cost of living.
1978 reforms were the catalyst, but they only worked because China was a stable, literate, unified state—assets built over centuries, not overnight.
China leads in PPP GDP (Internal volume/Standard of living metric).
Typo, I didn't mean nominal PPP I meant Real ppp adjusted for inflation
Also I never wrote that HDI takes Nominal GDP they Take GNI per Capita PPP adjusted for year (2021) in real terms
Again as I said nominal PPP isn't used rather Real PPP is used adjusted for the base year 2021,
There was a typo for nominal PPP I meant Real PPP is used for HDI
I have edited the message if you re read it you would know how one word would change the whole context
Nominal PPP/Absolute figures is subject to money illusion
Also, You never read about The GLF started in 1958 that led to crop destruction, over centralization of National resources, construction of poorly built projects, and death of 30 Million people GLF
Also about stability
The Great Proletarian Revolution of 1965-76 had led to Political, Social, Economical and Cultural Chaos that isn't stable in my dictionary
This also contributed to the death toll
Reference for Real PPP used for GNI Per Capita adjusted for 2021 as base year
Note that Real PPP is used instead of absolute figure

What am I supposed to do all of this ?
Be on the point
Nominal PPP isn't a great metric Real PPP is
Also thumbnails don't prove anything, that too from a yt page biased for China
https://www.aspi.org.au/programs/critical-technology-tracker/
A report has been released indicating that China is leading in nearly 90% of 74 'critical technology' fields, which are crucial for significantly enhancing national interests or determining national security.
According to a report by the international scientific journal Nature on the 12th (local time), China ranked first in the world in 66 out of 74 critical technology fields, as detailed in the 2025 'Critical Technology Tracker' report by the Australian think tank, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI).
I am specifically talking about Robot Army
Do you realise how significant of a claim this is, If it was true every other neighbouring country would've ran to sign a peace treaty or a defence pact with them
Also stick to the point
You’re so focused on a 'reset' from 50 years ago that you’re missing the actual reality of today. While you're arguing about Mao, the world has moved on. According to the 2025/2026 ASPI Critical Technology Tracker, the U.S. has lost its lead in almost every category that defines the future.
I am ending the Convo here, Hard for me to get you back to the original discussions
You were the one to bring you 5000 year civilization thingy not me and now you are asking to move on with history
Contradiction doesn't suit anybody
I am a bit busy now at work.
The 'reality of the present' isn't a starving country from 50 years ago; it’s a superpower that has officially flipped the script.
This is my point.
Pardon me if I was disturbing, whatever you said is absolutely true about China, today it is possibly the most successful country in the 21th century
Quant is fun to play with 😛

Look at the volume right there

Yup. I agree. Just doing a few scalps.
Done
Good night
Who here only take A+ trades
lemme buy that lol
lol passed the 150k on top step , but passed it too quick , i probably need to have 2k days for the next few days , but aint no thang or i need to make like 6k more extra in order to have that consistency . had a grand slam last night but forgot to put the take profit bar
just set a 1k stop loss
and use 5-10 contracts
you can burn 2k pretty fast
Yeah I've been averaging about 1k the past 4 days , I had like 4k to go I think from what I remember. But I shot past that mark , I've been trading many prop firms and evals and my main account as well I think I need to develop a spreadsheet , but yeah love topstep as they let you trade micro silver
Where's ken travels Asia? I usually hear him rambling about his bot like it's his pet dog doing tricks and showing random pNLs and copy pasting messages from chat gpt
Quite the overnight dump
i made some good money shorting dow on my real account
seems like they raised the shit on oil by a crazy amount even for tradovate , i was trying to trade a full boat , they didnt want to give it to me even tho i can possibly trade a full boat with a silver contract
but messing around with a fully loaded silver contract is playing russian roulette
