    Hey what’s up guys so it’s Saturday morning and uh I go over a lot of things that aren’t just prop firms by the way if you’ve been liking my videos uh be sure to subscribe I come out with content every day and I’m going to start trading live uh through the week as well so every Saturday I basically just review um kind of the market in general because I’m not so stuck on uh intraday moves trading um PL firms and intraday

    Scalping options and things like that that you know you kind of see my videos through the week and on the weekend I kind of focus on longer term plays um really swing trading options my retirement fund and things like that and I just do a quick overview on Saturday to see where companies are um you know where they are where I’d like to buy them I set my alerts um let me just take this off this is the pivot Points and

    Uh that’s that’s where I’m at right now so we we’re doing fairly well on uh on options this this year um last couple weeks we’re kind of up and down but overall we’ve been uh had a really good year and um yeah I’m just looking for some stuff St for my retirement funds a couple companies that I really like I’m looking to add um shift for payments is one that I actually like it just seems like the payment industry has been

    Under Fire PayPal reported um and they didn’t really go anywhere so I don’t know um I’ve been I’ve been watching this I would love it to uh come down a little bit more but uh this one has been on my radar I’m actually just going to I I set alerts on Saturday this is kind of my alert day um I wanted to buy SE also I like what they’re doing some of the big ones though Celsius I’ll say I’ve traded Celsius

    A bunch I’ve been in it but man their product is so good kind of looks like bare flaggy a little bit I’m hoping it comes down and touches the 200 that’d be like the ultimate for for me personally um I love the product though it’s definitely growing Baba I just I just took this all the way up if you watch one of my other videos I was um so Baba I actually did buy at like 70 and I just sold out

    On Thursday the reason I sold out was um we just went from 70 to 80 in a week and earnings is coming up so you know listen can it keep going up without a doubt I think Baba has a ton of cash on hand I think they’re undervalued I can see this going back up to you know 120 range but where else am I going to get you know 12 15% on my money in a week um you know there has

    To be profit taking soon not saying it’s going to go back down but this is definitely one on my radar that when it comes back down I will uh I will be looking to add I absolutely love Shopify love Shopify um I’m in a position Shopify I bought it at uh 695 um I basically set an alert just like I’m doing right now one of these Saturday sessions and uh I bought right on the basically right on the 200 and it’s

    Paid off uh I’m not looking to sell his position we’re going into earnings I love Shopify and I think Shopify is going to continue going up um um just the trends of the world point to Shopify just keep adding and adding and adding so this is one I’ll probably hold I’ve had it before um and I’ve been looking to you know I think I sold it up here somewhere and I was looking to read and uh I like to add around

    The 200 on a lot of lot of things once you start watching my videos you’ll see that a lot so I added at the 200 and you know we’re up um we’re up what is it like 7% already um I know it doesn’t sound like a lot when you’re like used to options where you’re like oh I got you know you see these gurus and whatnot but I’m talking retirement money um you know I also uh bought a long-term options at$

    6950 I want to say I bought it like here like April 17th and literally couple days later it popped up to like 74 and I sold it I was up I was up a good amount cuz I bought I think I bought August and um you know I got a pretty good percentage on on my money I think it was like 25% or something and I was like I’m out that that’s that’s more than enough for me um here’s another one

    But I am not in there so yeah Etsy I mean you see my list etsy’s on there these are all lists of ones I file the problem is Etsy is Etsy needs some changes done within their company they got attacked by timu um I don’t see Etsy as a they’re not growing at all it’s they got to change some things oxy’s one of these I like actually I said an alert I think Buffett bought around 58 or added and uh anytime

    It comes around there if you look we bounce so that’s what I’ve been doing is just kind of I I buy in like 58 range uh options out about three months either a vertical spread or straight calls and uh it’s paid off every time see what else we have that I’m just setting alerts for that I’ve been taking a look PayPal had earnings they popped dropped they just kind of dead money for now this chart is so nice I just sold

    This the other day I don’t know really I got to look into what’s pushing the airlines but uh yeah I mean recently them and uh United have been going up this is one of those that was hot this was a hot company for a little bit so I like digital ocean um I like digital ocean a lot I just can’t buy I I owned it in the 20s um I took a beaten as it went all the way down to uh

    Yeah to like 20 I mean I want to say I owned a lot of it around 25 and I held all the way down and I prayed that the earnings were good and then I ended up unloading it just to get out I like the company um I can’t buy it at 34 uh it looks like it’s going to break the 200 maybe we do get another retest down here and um so this company’s actually growing a lot um yeah they

    Do yeah I like this company they’ve had some really good earnings um they just can’t get a break I don’t know what the deal is the chart does not look good it kind of looks like it’s rolling over it’s testing some support again it breaks below there you’re going to get a 10% flush this shoe company is Awesome by the way um I just don’t know how much higher it can go that’s my thing they had earnings were bad here it

    Was something to do with the conversion rate between was it like the Swiss frank and the US dollar and that’s why the earnings came down and it shot right back up um I do like it um just you know I I got to buy it lower see with Crocs Crocs is another one I like but where is Crocs at I think it’s like 124 I thought the dude what was that the dude sandals and something like that um that they took

    Over I thought that was a good acquisition just seems like it’s not um taking off as I thought earnings are are pretty solid almost every time but now they’re kind of at that point every time they get up here they end up coming back down um I mean I would need this back down around like [Music] 90 housing Markus it’s crazy how housing all I hear is housing’s taking a beating but told Brother is just going up all right here’s one

    I really like I love Cloud flare um with they I guess they just reported earnings I I I’m in Cloud flare for the Long Haul um I will add if it gets if it gets down here um I just feel like they’re everywhere um they’re growing um they’re adding new features onto their security and I I think web security is not going anywhere it’s just it’s going to be an Ever growing uh industry and I know Cloud flare is one of

    Those this is another uh security company been following tdd for a while um they just haven’t really made you know they make [Music] moves but I don’t know if the growth is done I typically like buying stocks that are under a 100 bucks to be you know like I’ll have these on my radar and like you know the Pepsis and you know for solar I keep all this stuff on there but this is an awesome compan dingo jeez not buying it

    Here it’s just if you’re in you’re in actually the only one I kind of like Tesla I almost bought some Tesla back down around 150 and I wish I didn’t I was honestly I was waiting for it to retest like the 100 I I don’t know if it will ever get this low again uh but yeah AMD is another one so AMD reported earnings the other day okay they obviously are in the chip industry um it’s great they had this great

    Formation where it was making you know kind of like a a wedge and then it broke and ran I do believe that AMD will continue to grow it’s kind of like you know they’re not in the spotlight as much as nid is I do like it I like it better if it would come down another $25 or so I’ll buy some long-term options actually but major oh TSM so let’s hear about TSM so TSM I love this company the issue with

    TSM that’s in everybody’s mind is always you know is China going to take over Taiwan or try to take over Taiwan if that wasn’t in play I think this company would be so much higher this is one of those that I love the stock I love the company it’s just in a bad area of the world um see I think overall the market is going to pull back so they released the GDP numbers the other day and uh you know it

    It wasn’t great but then after that all these Tech earnings came and everyone’s make you know double beats and all that other good stuff but if you’re looking at this chart right now you have to assume that we’re going to come back down uh it just seems that way you know Pal’s talking inflation higher for longer um it’s just the economic things are not in our favor and I feel like we’re retesting this breakdown so we broke down over here and

    We’re retesting it and then I just feel like we’re going to drop I think if we’re up to uh tomorrow if we’re up on Monday I think I’m going to take a longer term short position um I would like to see another day up as you can see I set alerts already on this that’s what these dotted lines are uh so yeah once we we hit that I am willing to take it and there’s this massive Gap at 428 but I

    Do feel like we’re going to head down to the 200 at some point it doesn’t take long look we were here and I mean it doesn’t take long to what I say uh staircase up elevator down so you know a couple bad days look at this this drop from 40 you know 30 points there’s no reason why you couldn’t drop 30 points again and come down somewhere around here and the 200’s coming up and it’ll kind of meet so path is

    Interesting they do a lot of the robotic stuff um I feel like every time they they have earnings it’s good earnings for whatever reason I just feel that way last I mean they pop but um it never sustains the run but it’s one of those companies that I’ve had on my watch list man this company was so much higher at one point I mean look at where they were but it’s one of the ones I’ve been following and I think they

    Have a bright future I think it’s going to take a long time time to get there um but if it does come back down around here I’ll grab some in my retirement and I always like this one this is toast you’ve seen toast around they’re they are a lot of places I feel like they’re growing um I just think because of the payment processor with the restaurants it just doesn’t really get the the Investments and people buying is you know some

    Of these other companies do this company’s taking a beating beating beating hims is one I like hims is one I like a lot I feel like hims could do a lot of stuff they could add more lines they have the customer base um I feel like HS can do quite a bit I don’t like buying it even up here I really would love to see it retest 10 or under 10 um looks like they had a blowout quarter here and then

    They they went as high as wow 17 bucks it’s a big drop from 17 uh earnings coming up and I remember them yeah I remember them in the sixes cuz I owned it I actually bought it here and I sold sold it around like 8 bucks being like Oh I just took it from 6 to 8 like you know it wasn’t even that long but boy did I miss out um I like the company they uh they have a user base

    And I feel like if they can add more products um they can grow I just don’t know what the cost of adding more products is and and all that other stuff nerd wallet nerd wallet’s never going super super high or super low it’s one of those that if you just play the ranges I feel like you can you could swing I’ve done it a couple times oh here’s another one Sofi Sofi had earnings I think the earnings were increased due to

    Like a onetime investment or something like that um I do like this company I think they will Trend up I think if you like I added some around here and I’m fine with that and if it goes down lower I’ll probably add more um it seems every time it comes down into like the 550 range we go back up but they’re doing a lot of things I kind of like the company um but yeah oh here’s another Buffet Company I had

    This one too this one was good if this ever comes back down I’ll buy oh where’s Melly melly’s the only stock that’s super high in price that I kind of want to buy but oh they just had earnings and earnings were good cool missed out missed out um it’s another company I really like so Netflix is actually interesting because they’re starting to put on all these Live Events and I’m curious is if Netflix becomes a provider of live sporting events it’s

    Going to start chewing into the the Hulu and the pay-per-views and things like that I think they’re testing it with boxing with Mike uh Mike Tyson and uh one of the Paul Brothers Logan Paul or the other one um it will be interesting to see Netflix over the next year or so if that is a success raise prices or do like kind of like pay-per-view if you want to watch this event it’s 15 bucks and instead of doing it for free

    They start charging on a per event basis and I think it could get them a ton of extra money am I buying it am I buying it up here no um will I buy it if it came down I think I would finally become a long-term investor in Netflix if it came back down around 460 is um see what Lily is doing kind of look like a triple top here man they’ve had such a run with that drug it’s crazy all

    Right I don’t mean to drag this on I mean I look at all these charts all the time on on my weekends so I’ll do like a Saturday I guess like coffee and charts um if you have companies that you want me to take a look at or discuss or or actually I I when I’m not looking at this I look at like the financials and the growth and you know year-over-year growth and things like that that’s kind of what how

    These companies get on my radar and then eventually like you know they drop off like I know I’m not looking at AET anymore I should probably start taking them off the list but I just haven’t cleared my list in a long time um but yeah so if you have companies you want me to look at just comment below I’ll take a look and um yeah I’m going to start live trading during the week so be be sure to uh subscribe so

    You get notified that’s about it we’re up pretty good on options this year and hopefully we continue all right enjoy your weekend

    Auto-generated from the video audio — expect imperfect punctuation.

    What’s up guys so it was a pretty interesting day here’s my uh vnox accounts um not a bad day because this is a funded account and we’re now up $973 this is a funded account up 944 um this is an eval I am $240 away from being funded in that one um this is a an eval and then this is a funded account that I ended up smoking today um and I just I just didn’t follow my rules early on um

    To go to you know I I traded a pre-market on some of this stuff um just wasn’t following my rules but I will will say that today was pretty Choy early on and that’s where I smoked my account right in this chop um I’m I like playing when the moves go a long way to a pivot point like this see how we went from one Pivot Point to the next I shorted up here I covered down here on the 34 and

    When it came back up I I shorted it again and then I got out um so that’s how I made my money in my other accounts um but I wasn’t following my rules and kind of got hurt pretty bad um here and it was just a series of bad trades and it is what it is but my funded accounts um one was up like 450 and one was up um 900 so it was it was about about $1,400 of uh gains

    Today on my funded accounts so that’s a pretty good day although I did lose one funded account I’m going to be pretty cautious about the other ones um I need to get to 52,600 trade for 10 days and then I could pull money out so that’s where we’re at with uh with these accounts um the 90% off is done so I’m just going to trade these very cautiously and try to get a payout and I will keep you guys updated on

    That um basically I need ,700 more dollars in either one of these accounts for a payout and we’re already up 950 so uh yeah we’re doing pretty well and I only traded I think one day in one and two days in the other so we can’t even do anything until day 10 so I definitely have a lot of time um but yeah so that was today with uh the Pivot Point rejections um I really should have taken this was the trade

    Of the day the orb down here once we drop got below it and Reed it and then came back down and touched it um I should have said I’m I’m in and my stock would have been uh below this candle and um what got me out of it was the pivot point was right here but I should have stayed in with the ore bottom and it’s above vwap and we could have made some real good money to the upside um live

    And learn I will take that next time but uh yeah so that’s the recap hope you guys did well today uh I’m going to start trading live soon uh if you have any questions comment below be sure to like And subscribe the video

  • Apex Trader Funding – Did I Really Do That

    What’s up guys just giving you my uh Apex uh Trader funding update for the day I ended up uh smoking my uh my paid funded account breaking my rules of trading the first 15 minutes of the market it was on me shouldn’t have done it things happen I ended up passing this account so I’ll have another funded one tomorrow I have this one that’s close to being funded I’ll probably push that over tomorrow and then I just smoked a couple evals

    I actually smoked an eval um playing I I think I recorded it I was just gambling on the uh Apple um earnings didn’t work out I was up too much and then when it came back um you know you know it it just wasn’t wasn’t really good I I made too much for the draw down and I got taken out which is ridiculous so it happens Apple reported but what’s interesting is it popped and it’s kind of just selling off um

    Apple’s Up 3 and 1 12% after hours um but but I don’t know it’s just they beat but not convincingly like not by a lot so I’m curious what happens does this just sell off um you know and we open up red tomorrow I’ll be honest with you thus far doesn’t look great because the cues are selling off on Apple earn and if Apple something happens on the conference call and it basically turns red or gives up majority of the gains

    I mean you’re going to that’s probably going to be a wrap for a little bit for a couple days but you know they can come on and say some good stuff a lot of AI stuff and you know we might keep going up but to stick to the Apex we are starting from we’re you know starting from scratch with one paid account eval so tomorrow um you know I’m going to start trading these live I might play this right here as

    A bounce while I’m doing my review video we’ll see if it could pop real quick uh so yeah I might uh I might start trading live if you guys are interested in watching me tra trade live uh just comment on the video and um nice and you can see treeses like this see how it broke the trend and now we’re pushing up um I’m getting out of this real quick just made a that was like just scalping um so yeah I

    Mean that’s pretty much it so uh I’ll give you some of the updates on some of my other accounts and my other videos um I don’t know overall it was in Apex it was like an eh day not really a good day luckily I got another funded account but losing a funded one always uh always sucks so it was it was a eh type of day well wish I held would have made a couple more shekels here all right see you

    Guys tomorrow

  • Bulenox Recap – FOMC Trading Day

    Not a whole lot of trading today, FOMC meeting days are not really my style. I made a few trades, pivot points held and I left early to not tempt myself on bad trades.

    What’s up guys so I’m doing my bullox uh recap of the day and here I am on rhythmic Trader Pro um so here we are basically the bottom three are are paid accounts our funded accounts so this one oh the pnls are gone on the day um so this one actually made about 380 bucks uh today which was great um this one is a new one and I only lost $10 I made one trade lost 10 bucks and this one I

    Made about $70 and that’s a paid account and then I just traded these very lightly as well um today was fomc day so I’m not going to sit here and uh I don’t really trade um I I don’t really trade many uh you know paid accounts I don’t do a lot of trading when it is fomc day because it’s just too crazy and like sometimes it it’s a lot of chop where you get a lot of fake outs um and you

    Don’t get a lot of movement prior to the the meeting and then when the meeting comes you know like I like to play pivot point rejections it blew right past the Pivot Point um when we started getting extended I I actually left because this isn’t my style of trading so I just stopped early for the day without getting tempted but if you look on the cues it hit the pivot point and my friend was nice enough to tell me how much

    Money he made when he went short right here and then he covered around here but he could have held longer but he made quite a bit of money right there um you know if you think about it that he got in 86 he probably got like a 100 points so you know there wasn’t really many trades to to be had today for my style um the opening range was was very tight um it it you know you have to know when

    When it’s not your type of day to trade to just kind of hang out you know like everybody preaches it but you don’t rarely everybody I guess what I say is everybody talks about it and then you’ll hear like some Guru like oh I made this huge trade on the day that they talked about not trading well I I don’t trade on really on fomc days that much and if I do it’s a lot of evals um you know but I

    Didn’t really even do much of that I did that in my other accounts a little bit but I’m bullnox I basically traded because you have to trade every day um to get those trading days in and that’s what I did so I just kind of did a little bit um got the accounts up I mean like I said that one funded account I got up 300 bucks that’s a that’s a solid day and um and that’s it you know I just

    Kind of hung out watched and I left early and now tomorrow I will come back and and uh and look to trade [Music] um I mean that’s pretty much it I’m not uh not looking to do too much overnight probably I think the bias is to the downside um Powell was talking about keeping the rates high for longer so I kind of feel like you know to zoom out for the one day um it wouldn’t shock me if we retest down

    Here which is 17100 it wouldn’t shock me to hit the the daily pivot point which is 16921 but I could see us hitting the 200 which is down here and that would be a nice pullback for the market right around the 200 um that is about 5% down and then you know you know we’ll resume going back up but I think over time we will come around maybe around here what is this may maybe around may come around here and um

    You know it it’d be definitely a solid spot to start buying some longer term options um I don’t want to get into that on the recap video really but um back to bullx things were good today tomorrow I’m looking to to trade some of the funded accounts more aggressively because they have a rule that you can only have three funded accounts until the funded accounts hit 52,600 so I have this account that’s over this account that’s almost over so I can

    Afford to be aggressive on one of these newer accounts and worst comes the worse if I end up smoking it I have another one ready to roll um so we’ll see I’m not just going to take any trade when I say aggressive I still trade the same plan but I’ll trade with a little more contracts so well that’s that’s pretty much the recap on today be sure to like And subscribe I’m going to start trading live soon and you’re not going

    To want to miss it

    What’s up guys so I’m doing my a bullox uh account recap for the day and we had a pretty good day so here’s my account as you can see we were up in this one pretty big so this one’s an eval and you could see we’re almost past it [Music] um this one is an eal that I put over and I’ll probably be able to get uh it funded tomorrow so that will give us another funded account here uh this is

    An eval that is uh almost funded and then this one right here is a paid account we were up 462 today was the first day of trading it so that’s nice and then this is another funded account that was actually down pretty good I mean I probably only had another $400 of draw down but we made uh $865 in it which is nice gives us some breathing room and then uh they had a deal that was 90% off so these today’s

    The last day so I just grabbed two more just in case and that’s where we’re at so we should be trading three funded accounts tomorrow tomorrow or the next day and uh hopefully I think you got to trade 10 days and then you work a payout so I’ll go over some of the trades now so now that we went over the p&l I will move this over and basically I played pivot Points today um I actually played a drop in the

    Morning right over here I played this drop due to the pivot point and I think there was actually news that came out and helped it out but uh I played that I did not play this Pivot Point bounce um I played this rejection because there was the 200 plus it was a pivot point played that down and then I want to say I uh I did not play this but when we dropped and they came all the way back to this

    Pivot point and the 200 I played this again and that was the end of the bullnox count I think I played uh um you know you could see in this funded account I only made one trade which was for 865 uh oh sorry I bring it to my other screen so this count was only one trade for 865 uh this new one was uh three contracts but I think it was only two trades um and then as you can see I

    Traded uh some of these other ones more obviously I traded uh this one right here with three contracts and uh solid p&l in the day um and then you know what I played those three contracts I played it short on that big drop right here and then the rest of the day I kind of traded uh this eval and I got it up 1,500 bucks and that was pretty much it but in bullnox I was done trading uh probably by 11:00

    A.m. and then I traded my uh Apex accounts the rest of the day um I like bull KNX cuz I don’t know if you’ve seen but here’s uh rhythmic Trader Pro uh I just feel like I could see this chart really well with the candles more than I see it on um more than I see it on trade ofate but honestly I’m just trading uh pivot Points and this is trading View and that that’s pretty much it but pivot Points were

    On fire today I mean you had this and then I played it up here um you know the only time I got hosed was when we blew through but that wasn’t my bullnox count my bull KN count was great today I don’t think I took a losing trade today I think it was all all solid so I just want to keep you updated with how this one’s going um so you can follow along in this account if you’re a bullox guy

    You can follow along with my Apex if you’re an apex guy um but yeah I am nine trading days away hopefully to a payout and yeah things are going really good so if you have any questions just comment below and I get back to everybody

    What’s going on so today is an important day you have the fomc meeting at 2 and it’s going to be an important one actually this is probably the most important one in a long time um the market is on the brink of rolling over um depending on what they talk about rates um my target to the downside um would be the 200 which on the NQ is right around uh you know 1637 is what is it oh 16 600 I don’t

    Know obviously it moves up every uh every day that there’s a uh a candle made but uh yeah somewhere around this this range would probably be my uh my target if what is said is not um bullish I mean you can see we’re rolling over on the fer the macd um for people that trade the cues I’ll bring up the daily I mean I I was looking at yeah like around 400 400ish um you know it’s only about 5% down so

    It’s not you know not talking crazy it’s just uh that’s what I could see uh to the downside you know we had the GDP numbers that that were not great um but then it was kind of offset by uh earnings that were good by Google Amazon had good earnings um I think meta was a double beat also but the market reacted poorly to it um there was one other earnings also that were that were good um Amazon maybe it was oh

    Google I forget I got to look so much stuff is going on but yeah so Tech earnings have been pretty pretty decent um I know AMD reported they were down yesterday um you know I think a lot is being waited on this meeting today but Tech earnings have been solid so I think it’s definitely propping um the market up I think Apple reports tomorrow which is obviously a huge one and they’re talking about iPhone sales being down so I I don’t

    I don’t really know I’m not building a long position here um if anything I have reduced I actually reduced it yesterday um so this green lines to 34 and you can see Every Time We Touch it we bounce um on the way up so usually that will become resistant so when we hit it up here I basically unloaded the majority of my positions um except for ones that I have that are out you know many months or till next year so

    You know I I’m kind of a lot is being waited on on the meeting today um you you know but my overall Target for a pullback would probably be the 200 and then I would say you know even before we get to the 200 like say we get around 404 I’d probably be starting to add add there because you’re never going to add it at the exact bottom um so you know i’ probably add if we got at 404 probably obviously

    At 400 and then if we continueed to go lower I’d probably um add position and my absolute bottom for a pullback would be this line it’s the 377 and that’s at three uh you know 377 is so I mean that would be to me um the absolute bottom and actually by the time it caught down there this line would probably be up here which would coincide with the bottom here and the peak here and it would be a solid uh a

    Sol solid place to bounce that would probably be you know where where my bottom bottom is let me just pull up a week I mean you can see I mean obviously right here with the 34 is on the weekly is the old top you know so there’s support there we didn’t actually touch it but we got super close and that’s close enough for a solid bounce it’s pretty much where we’re at now um no not sorry we’re up here you know

    What it is trading view put the price here but the price there is 407 and we’re still up here so yeah I mean you know on on the weekly I definitely you know definitely see it coming down now obviously you know they come out and say some good stuff about rates um you know we can pop back up to you know maybe highs again you know a lot ways on this meeting um you know I think honestly it just feels like

    They’re not cutting rates this year um maybe they cut once near election time you know kind of before um but it kind of feels like originally they were talking about all these rate cuts and then it just got smaller and smaller it just kind of feels like maybe they’re going to cut once [Music] um just you know the way it feels it feels like that uh yeah so I mean my trade plan today uh let me see what we got so

    Usually when they come out with the meeting um the meeting information the first move is typically the wrong move so you’ll get like a like say you you’ll get a wick up up real quick and then it’ll Wick it’ll come all the way back down and then the move is down or same thing like you’ll go down for the like 30 seconds or sometimes even like 5 seconds and then it’ll come right back up and rip so typically I Look to

    Play after 30 to 45 seconds when the move actually decides what way it’s going to go and then typically I’m in for a scout um I do not put orders in prior to try to catch you know the big move one way or another because like I said I’ve seen it where it flashes up and then flashes and then comes right back down where you couldn’t get your orders um in fast enough and you would have just got destroyed so my

    Plan is probably not to trade much after uh 1:00 they probably we’re probably going to chop around a bunch I would assume we’re going to get some type of move early early on in the day um one way or the other and then that’s probably going to the End by 10:30 or 11:00 I’m probably going to go for an early lunch make sure I’m back by about 1:30 and um yeah and probably you know if I was to take a shot

    And it say it flashes up on fomc like instantly I might grab like five micros to the downside for it to sell off that big candle um obviously I put stops in but I’d probably be willing to risk three $400 you know like argument sake it happens right now and say we Wicked from you know 58 to you know 502 or 520 I’d probably go short and put a stop up somewhere around you know 550 you know give myself about 30

    Points um a room to the the other side and wait for it to go back the other way uh other than that uh I would probably put protection on because if it’s bad um like I said we’re going to we’re going to sell off pretty pretty solid like I said I I could see 5% down over the course of you know the next two three weeks um you know this isn’t typically strong times in the market so I would probably say

    You know I’d probably put protection on and see what happens that would be my uh you know some type of hedge and you can always take the Hedge off come after the meeting but I I protect my portfolio when it comes to uh times like this and you know if you’re trading Futures cuz you’re following me cuz you know uh trading prop firms uh I would probably look to buy around this Pivot Point on a on a dip early in the

    Day if we get there which would be nice because it would be uh breaking the 400 support kind of sweep below 400 and then I would buy uh around here and wait it looks like we’re not getting over vwap so if we get back up I might take a I might take a little short um we reclaimed this bottom which is uh obviously bullish here it seems like it’s holding uh yeah so I mean that that probably my my plan is

    Just to make a couple of scalps during the day and look for it to come around I don’t think we’re going to see the uh the pivot up up north before the fomc meeting so I’d probably say look for a dip and then buy the dip uh that’s pretty much all I’m going to do you don’t need to trade on on days that aren’t favorable to you so before the fomc meeting I’m looking to just take scalps bounces off the 34

    Maybe some or back bounces um and and that’s really it nothing of significant size and that’s pretty much what I’m going to do with my portfolios so if you have any questions just comment below and uh hopefully this helps you out navigate the market today

  • Apex Trader Funding Recap – FOMC Trading Day

    Today was the FOMC meeting so I didn’t do a whole lot. Smoked 2 evals trying to play FOMC which is more like gambling than trading. Other than that my funded account was up $220 and my other eval was down a small amount. I like to keep it simple on FOMC days.

    What’s up guys so doing a quick Apex uh Trader funding review recap uh I ended up smoking this eval today and then this one the 1551 was down a little bit I just need to get uh what is that $3 more th000 and my draw down is about two grand so I’m I’m in a good spot with that one my funded account was up to 20 today which is nice and that’s it I smoked this one so I have one eval

    One p account uh for tomorrow um you know it was fomc day so I really didn’t do uh a ton the only reason I smoked the two EV valves was I played the fomc like right around here and um it was that it was just pure gambling I’m just going to be honest with you I gambled it was what it was I usually I don’t trade like that so um it is what it is I I smoked them and that was

    It but that’s why I don’t do stuff like that with any funded accounts um tomorrow get back to normal trading uh Powell seems like rates are going to stay up for longer so I kind of feel like the trend is down um we got the spike and then it sold all the way off that is not bullish at all and I’ll be honest with you it kind of looks like you know this looks dead catish where we bounced dead cat bounce

    And now we’re starting to break it and I wouldn’t be surprised if we drop you know five you know 500 points maybe down to the 200 right around here I’m not saying tomorrow I’m just saying overtime um um so tomorrow I’ll probably be a little biased to the downside I think Apple reports tomorrow I got to look at some of the earnings um this is just a recap on my Apex so I’ll stick to that so that’s what it is I

    Didn’t really do too much today um if you look the pivot Points held pretty uh pretty solid early in the day I I played um you know you can see the pivot Points held pretty good and then um we came close to this one um that’s why you play both where you look at both cuz right at the cues you would have got the very top I had to leave so I missed this but one of my uh my friends I

    Traded with caught the very top of this and uh wrote it down to this pivot point so that would have been a quality uh trade he funded two accounts today on the that move down so all right well that’s the recap um be sure to check the uh the channel for other Recaps like subscribe um and I’ll uh post the recap of my uh other accounts now as well thanks

    What’s up guys so I’ll do the review on my Apex uh Trader funding um so today we have this account which is a 150 account we are up 6653 um I bought this account just to play earnings and made out well and now the draw down is a little light um but I need to get $2400 my draw down is 2,700 and I’ll work on this tomorrow but it’s almost there which is nice we got uh this one in play this

    One’s down a little bit today um it was up more but that’s fine this one got smoked this one got funded so we’re funded now in that one and this one was actually almost funded I actually held this overnight um I didn’t really Trade It held it overnight and went up a lot and then went down so overall um it wasn’t bad I mean let’s go let’s go to this one the one I got [Music] over how did I get it

    Over we were trading this is the 15 minute this is the five I shorted the top oh you know what I did I’ll just show you on here I basically played uh the rejections off of the right here I play this rejection this rejection this rejection and this rejection so all I did was I played uh pivot Points and I believe I did not play this one so yeah I played pivot Points pivot point rejections four times and that’s pretty much

    What funded the account for the majority of the money in there and then that was pretty good and that’s why I leave this script up um it’s a free script just called pivot Points um oh you could see right here there you go here 645 I mean there’s $1,500 right there oh I you know what that was actually not that was a different uh different Play here’s some rejections I played I played it over and over as you could see um

    But yeah I made 1,500 from this drop early on and then um some of the money from other rejections uh yeah I mean I mean that’s pretty much it so we got funded which is nice nice I want to try get this 150 funded uh tomorrow you could [Music] see that was made over here on after hours we played the I think it was Amazon earnings and that’s pretty much it I mean we’re just going to I’m probably not going to

    Trade overnight um I don’t like after hours because it doesn’t really uh respect some of the lines as much after hours because there’s so much less volume um and yeah I mean that’s pretty much it but if you look today we had a pretty good day I’m going to post my bullnox uh update another video I’ll keep them separate going forward but yeah I mean Apex was good uh today’s the last day for the 80% one day pass so I wonder

    What they come out with tomorrow and uh I’ll keep a look out for that other than that it was a pretty good trading day I thought it was really really good actually so hopefully we continue this tomorrow and much better than it was yesterday uh but yeah I mean it was just level to level respected certain lines but you know solid day really solid day

  • Still Thinking About Today Trading Is So Mental Remember To Be Patient

    Sorry guys but still thinking about today and how mental trading is. Just being able to wait for the setups and not just take any trades. Like I said in my other video today was rough, but how are you guys doing?

    What’s up guys so I’m back I know I did a recap video earlier today oh it just bugs me so much just bugs me so much I had to make another video um this game is so mental it’s so crazy how mental it is um I just sat here today feeling the need to trade um and you know what happened was um so this is the or bottom I took a position right here and we dropped to the pivot point and

    Then we came all the way back um what is it 30 I mean I would have had a hold down 25 30 points I probably I don’t know it was bad um but it goes to show you that you know the pivot Points held up I mean today held up held up um you know this is opened right around one um yeah I mean the strategy works it works so many times the problem is this works this works it works but

    It’s all this other stuff when you’re sitting here going oh it’s going to break over vwap and this and that and it’s oh it’s going to drop under vwap and all this other stuff I might I might just clear up my uh I might start clearing up my charts to uh to maybe something like this I mean maybe even just keep it simple I mean vwap definitely uh does play a part for scalping purposes you know you could have scalped it

    A couple times couple times broke through um I just like to have it on the chart um you know just crazy just my thoughts are it’s [Music] so um it’s just so mental because you would have to sit here all day to make two or three trades and not look at this and be like oh it’s going to go oh this is going to go the one thing I will say is usually I keep myself preoccupied with some other things outside

    Of trading to do um other outside businesses and I basically leave this up and today I didn’t and I was watching it too much and this is what happens when I watch it too much I feel like oh this is going to be the move this is going to be the move um and it’s just not uh my best bet is literally to go back to um just leaving in up on one of my extra monitors um do some work stuff

    For uh my own business and um you know just kind of set alerts or set orders I typically do set orders right around and I might go do a little bit of that um just so I don’t get not every day but just to get my mind off of trying to trade all these little moves throughout the day and kind of just focus on on the bigger moves um and rather go heavier on these type of buys than playing all these

    Little little scalps um you know and maybe scour the markets for some options positions and things like that like I took a baba position today for um I don’t know maybe October November or December it was it was out there um not necessarily leap but it was definitely out there um so yeah I mean this is where I’m at I’m frustrated about how today went and what better place to vent than uh YouTube so if you guys uh are frustrated with

    This sometimes comment and um let me know let me know but you’re definitely not the only one CU I’ve been doing this for a while and I just get days like this and it’s just hard well I don’t mean to reiterate what I did earlier and tomorrow we’re going to turn it back around we’re going to be patient and we are going to profit
