What’s going on guys? So, before I get into this, uh I stream live every single day, 9:00 a.m. to noon, 2:00 p.m. to 4:30. Smash the subscribe button. Uh we do giveaways every day on the chat. If you want to support the stream, be sure to use code code trader. Um yeah, so obviously I didn’t lose $250,000 because I know how to trade. Um but yeah, today was awesome. If you’re not on the live stream, you should get on. This is

Pretty much how our day went today. I got one red account. Here’s my NinjaTrader. Um here’s my one red account. I kind of yolo’d an eval at the end of the day. Other than that, we smashed today. If you want to see these trades where you see me put my order in beforehand, you see the order go in, you see the TP, you see the stop loss, you see everything. Be on the stream. This isn’t one of those streams where I

Hide my account numbers, hide my balances. I don’t hide anything. You see the P&Ls every day, and that’s what it is. Um you know, that’s how it should be. But yeah, so if you have any questions, come on the live stream and ask. Um we are doing uh a giveaway tomorrow in the Discord. It’s going to be for a bunch of Legends accounts. There’s the link to the Discord in the description of this video. Um I’m going to do that during

Lunch time tomorrow. So, after the morning stream, I’ll go over there and I’ll run the discount I’ll run the deal or not the deal, the giveaway in the Discord lunch on tomorrow. I’m going to go over some easy setups for today that we took. Basically, I took this trade at lunch. It basically broke over, retested. Uh my stop was down here at 135. My TP was up at 238, which happened to be the top of the uh I think it was

The top of the IB also. So, I was targeting the top of the IB. Um and that played out great. That was a great trade. I also was bold bias going into today. First of all, I knew the numbers, um how the reaction was off the numbers. Also, when you go to the higher time frames, um This is what we were talking about yesterday, right? I was saying how we were in a multi-day uh bull flag. And I said basically last

Night, if we catch a dip, I was going to go long. We didn’t really get the dip that I wanted. I wanted to touch this line. We didn’t get the dip, so obviously I didn’t go long. But when we started to go for the breakout, I obviously went long because I knew on the higher time frames what I was looking for, and sure enough, um you know, this is what it looks like. This is a pretty much a clean break on

The daily. I would assume we’re probably going to hit 500, maybe possibly tomorrow. I am going to look for longs uh during Asia tonight. So, I’m going to let this open probably somewhere between 8:00 and 10:00. I’m going to look for to get long, maybe 7:30 before Asia open. Uh but yeah, I mean, this is looking pretty pretty solid on the higher time frames. The one thing I could be looking for is possibly a retest of the 50% line on this

Fair value gap or the top. So, somewhere in this range, we might come down and then back out. So, I’m possibly looking for something like that. Same thing on the hourly. Um but we might just run out of this. So, either way, I’m bull biased. Now, listen, if news comes out, Trump says something, it could turn everything around. But right now, that’s my game plan. And um yeah, I’m just passing along. If you have any questions, come to the live stream,

Ask in the Discord. Uh and I’ll see you guys on the stream tomorrow. Peace.
