What’s going on, guys? So, you know, I keep it transparent. So, today was not a great day. I’m going to go over all types of stuff that happened. Um, but before I do, we stream live every day, 10:30 till noon. Again, 2:00 p.m. to 4:30. Be sure to use coupon code Cove Trader. Uh, works at all the prop firms and it will automatically give you the best deals out there. Um, let’s just jump into this. So I uh this is take

Profit trader. I basically out of my draw down is less than half. Um basically I got screwed on a trade. The copy trader didn’t work and it cost me about 400 bucks and um I just couldn’t get this account going. It’s day one. I was trying to push it and uh you know now I need to honestly my next trade has to be a winner. I need to hit for like 4 or 500 bucks and get me out of this close

Uh draw down area. This other pro account is obviously up nice. I also passed one two accounts. So, I’ll have two more pro accounts on uh Monday. So, this is my funded futures. I’m up 400 bucks here. I hit the daily loss on this account and then I’m up 195. It’s crazy. my funded futures. I do so good and then all a sudden I hit the daily loss and I’ll do so good hit the daily loss. So it’s just I’m not

A fan of the platform. More accounts I’m going to try getting a trade of eight going forward. And then I actually passed four accounts and I blew six. The reason I blew six though, I had to blow three accounts. I uh I broke some of the rules and I just um it would have made it way too hard for me to get a payout. I would have had to bring my accounts up to like a ridiculous level for a payout. So,

I said, “Listen, I’m going to go hard. If it hits, great. If it doesn’t hit, the account’s gone.” And it went the other way. But the problem is I made too much money in one day. I made like I don’t know over $3,000 in a day. pay like 3,500 bucks. So, with the consistency rule, I would have had to go like $60,000 something dollars and it’s just not something I like doing because I could take one of these other accounts and

Just get it up to 50, you know, get up three grand, no, not even 2,600 and take a payout and then on these accounts, I would have to pull I would have to make, you know, almost $10,000. Like, it’s just not worth it. So, I kind of just went heavy and it went against me and that’s what happened. But that’s why I don’t like making too much money in Apex and why I use uh why I use like Topep. By the

Way, I passed a Topep account. I also locked in day four. If I get $200 more dollars on Monday, I’ll lock in like a $1,400 payout on Topep. So, the payouts are coming. Uh, also Ninja Trader, I made about $240 in my personal account as well today. So, that’s always a uh always a good day, you know, when you make money in your uh in your personal account. So, that’s obviously a plus. Um, yeah, definitely definitely a plus. Also, I ended

Up finishing the day up about four grand in my stocks and options account. So, that was good. And I think I made like a thousand in Robin Hood. So, it’s about five grand I’m up. So, listen, there’s definitely some really good things. Uh, three of these accounts I didn’t want to blow. And obviously, this account’s in the uh in the right now. But other than that, things are things are pretty good. Uh my copy trader messed up at the end of

The day. It is what it is. Uh but I’ll be back streaming Monday at 10:30. Be sure to subscribe, like the video, and um that’s pretty much it. Jump in the Discord if you want to play poker with us at night. And uh that’s pretty much
