Well today was a brutal day of trading literally everything went wrong. Lucky for me I contained it to mostly one funded account and an eval. I blew both up and lost a little in my other funded account. I over traded and didn’t wait for setups. Even when I caught the top and the bottom I took 5 points which is crazy. I could have mad so much more today but I took small gains and then forced myself to over trade. We have all had days like this and it hit me today.

What’s up everybody so oh man today was an awful day so I smoked my funded account um just not following my rules honestly it was so stupid um just ridiculous I mean basically um I should have taken like two or three trades today I should have taken the trade today when hit the Pivot Point here and I should have taken the trade when we hit up here at like 145 um short and then I when we drop big right here I
Should have taken this trade there was only three trades to really uh be had and then if I wanted to play little intraday um stuff this right here looked um oh not up here up here this was pretty much like a a bare flag we dropped we couldn’t uh get over the 34 and it just looked like it was going to roll over and um sure enough it did I just over traded got faked out um and this happens this happens
To everybody um yeah so it happened to me today luckily my bull KN funded account did not get smoked it’s just down a little bit um my goal tomorrow is to get uh another Apex account over and get that funded I want to get another couple funded accounts this week so I’m going to focus on that and um I have three more bullnox accounts that are over I’m going to put the request in today to uh to get funded and hopefully
I’ll be trading uh refunded accounts in Bull KNX tomorrow um but yeah it was a it was a bad day in uh futur land in option land uh uh it was it was a decent day I was up a couple bucks um but yeah I mean overall I just did the most stupidest things today um I’m sure you guys watching this I felt like this sometimes but I just can’t believe I did that today I was literally it was so that’s
So ridiculous I I had the the plan my issue is I over traded because I was like oh let me get this move let me get that move let me get the rejection off the 200 let me get this and you know early on the day we basically chopped here and I was like oh we’re going to go down but like the wick took me out and it was just it wasn’t good I’m just going to be honest it was probably
One of the worst trading days I’ve had in a long time um um but I put it out there for you guys to see that you know if you’re doing the same thing you’re not the only one I’ve been doing this for a long time and sometimes I get days like this the idea is to keep it to a minimum where you only lose one funded account and um it is what it is right so you know you kind of keep
The damage to a minimum um and that’s it then you just start over the next day um luckily it didn’t carry over really until my my other funded accounts it it was just um you know losing this account it was one that was halfway to get paid and uh that’s what sucks the big time so it is what it is um there was definitely quite a few moves today you could have made a lot of money um I unfortunately you know
Even when I caught the bottom right over here I mean I sold it like here I could have rode that I could have rode that 100 points um so even when I did catch the bottom I took profits way too early I’m going to make some changes on my uh my plans and um you know going forward just kind of stick to two three trades a day and it is what it is so you know I put it out there got
Smoked um you know I’m sure you guys have been there but if you have any questions comment below be sure to like And subscribe and we’re going to come back strong tomorrow that I will tell you
Mistakes New And Unprofitable Traders Make And How To Avoid Them
Transcript
Auto-generated from the video audio — expect imperfect punctuation.
What’s up guys so today I want to go over the top mistakes most new Traders make I’ve made them I have friends that made them and just through talking to everybody I’ve compiled a little list and hopefully after watching this you can avoid those pitfalls so the number one thing I would say that every single Trader does when they’re new is over trades they think that the majority already the day Traders are buying and selling and buying and selling almost like
High frequency computer trades um I don’t think that new Traders realize that most of the people are taking I don’t know five or less trades a day like five last quality trades a day um some days I take you know maybe two fullsize trades I’m not talking about you know a feeler here a feeler there I’m talking about going to my my full size for a day trade um maybe two to three times a day um you know but every time
I talk to friends or people on the internet that when you know why am I not making money you know I say well how many trades you make in a day you know 30 trades you know 40 trades some of them are trading you know say multiple times within the same minute it’s crazy um so I think that would be one of the things to avoid the second is flip-flopping so basically or argument sake say you have a setup that that
Comes about like we’ll just say this setup right here um so say you’re going to play this break right well say you bought on this top green cam CLE and then it rejects the trend line so then you go short and then it goes back up and then you go back long and you start going back and forth long short long short long short and you kind of get yo-yoed um that is what a lot of new Traders do they don’t
Pick their entries at a good point and they end up going long and then when it dips a little bit they end up selling and even worse then they go short and then it goes up and then they sometimes follow it up and then it rejects so they sell again for a loss and go back short and before you know it you’re just blowing hundreds or thousands of dollars and the the thing didn’t even go anywhere like argument sake like you
Know they would just do this little little bit here and um that is probably I see that happen all the time I call it the yo-yo where it’s just you get yo-yoed um what you have to do like anything you pick your thesis out and you stick with it I think new Traders have too tight of a stop loss as well because they don’t trust in what they see so argument sake say you were going to play this little breakout right
Here um me personally I would look for an entry back at this purple line which is the eight but say they chased it um you know would have bought up here and when it dipped maybe 10 15 points they would have definitely sold but the play is still good it’s still holding above the trend the the trend line and the fact is they will get stopped out why a season Trader would stay in the trade because it still looks good and
Would have profited at the end of the day um but that is why season Traders do not Chas they buy at support and you know let a couple go at resistance and then hold for the breakout I see that happen all the time the other thing I see is which kind of goes hand inand with the getting stopped out too early is they go too heavy you know say you’re trading NQ I for a full position for me is about three
Full contracts when you’re starting out you should be using micros and going maybe five micros so you can let this thing move around like 20 points is 200 bucks so you can give yourself a nice 20 point buffer so you know you’re going to if if you’re right you kind of give it leeway and that’s probably where I would start off going is five micros um give yourself room don’t keep the tight the stops too tight and let the trade work
Because what happens a lot is people put these stops in they’re super tight they get stocked out and then it goes and they I always hear oh I knew it was going to go well if you knew it was going to go you would have stayed in you know what happened was you looking at your p&l instead of just looking at the chart and you got stopped out because you got worried and instead of just looking at the chart saying hey
This still looks good let me just wait it out um like a real Trader would because they’re new they get stopped out it goes and what’s even worse is say like a setup like this uh they end up buying like up here because it broke out and they think they’re going to miss the big move they follow it and then the thing ends up just tanking on them and then they lose again and I see this over and over fomo just
Killing new Traders the tight stop losses the overtrading the large positions you know when they lose one position they go in bigger on the next position um um you know you should be having a trade plan what you look for what type of moves you look for do you play long do you play short I know some people don’t even play short they only play long so if it’s not looking good to the upside they just sit on the sidelines but
It’s fine because they only need that one long Play A Day to make serious money because they go in heavy when when it presents itself um so yeah I mean those are some of the the main ones that I I would focus on as a new Trader to stop um definitely always have a trade plan you know not only back test you know you could forward test you know play with uh paper money but as real and test to see what
The results are um there’s so many different ways to do it but I would say the overtrading over buying um small stops is what’s going to get every new Trader uh right away and those are the things that I would say I would work on instantly if you’re new or if you’re unprofitable that’s where I would look first and then from there make adjustments maybe on your trade plan um what indicators you’re looking at what setups you’re looking at and then
Go from there if you like this video be sure to like And subscribe I go live during the week with trading and be sure to jump on

Hey guys so today I’m going to give you the truth about prop firms if you like the video subscribe and I will keep giving you great content about trading and everything else so I’m just going to be honest with you prop firms are designed for you to lose the reason is so many people find this as a get rich quick thing they found somebody on YouTube Instagram or Tik Tok that’s making a gazillion dollars and it’s so easy and everything else
Um that’s usually not the case usually they’re making their money on you signing up but they’re not actually making money on the prop firms because when it comes down to making money on the prop firms you need to find a strategy that has real Edge to it um you know because there’s rules involved on these prop firms that are designed if you’re gambling you will lose you maybe will pass an eval here and there by going all in or something like
That but over time you will not get money it’s just simple because if you look at some of the rules they make you trade for x amount of days or you got to hit a certain profit Target or you can’t withdraw for 10 trading days and you have to trade for 10 trading days uh consistency they have these consistency rules where you can’t just go all in and make all the money in one day they basically make it so you are
Making real trades and making real money and it’s not a fluke it’s not something that you just jumped on and you know I got lucky one day and I pulled out $30,000 no they make it so you have to trade consistently good day in and day out with quality risk management and that’s it I mean it doesn’t matter really what firm one of the main firms that you go with obviously do not go with uh somebody that just pops up or
Somebody nobody is using because odds are they’re not going to pay you there’s plenty of Stories on Facebook groups and reddits of people that pass the evals they get the funded account it’s time for the withdrawal and they make up some reason on why you’re not going to get paid it happens you can go Google it RIT whatever you want look out on Facebook groups and you’ll see it I’ve seen everything from you know somebody signed in from their IP address
At their school and then they signed up at their IP address at home and it was two different IP addresses and they didn’t get paid it’s like they can find any little thing to not pay you they will and that’s why I don’t go to those um prop firms I stick with the the bigger ones that have been around for a while um you know I have videos about the ones I’ve recommended basically it’s Apex here that you’re looking at takeprofit
Trader um bull KNX TOP Step my funded futures um I know people use uh I think it’s ftmo uh fivers is another one um I don’t have accounts with those so I can’t come on here and tell you about them but I do know from looking and doing research that people are getting paid by that um I’m sure there’s other ones I’m missing if you know any just comment below and I’ll take a look but yeah I mean the truth is
Can you make money yes it are you just going to you know come on Slam contracts and make money probably not you need a real um strategy and I’ll be honest with you I I definitely I have a strategy but I would also say that you should get a strategy before you start playing with your own money with Futures this is a good uh place if you’re not looking to paper trade that you can also use these funded these eval accounts
Or funded accounts to test out different strategies that work for you that when you finally do get paid you can create your own uh Futures account and say e trade and then just trade your own money and you would make more more that way but this is a good place cuz argument sake you risk $50 here and you can in theory lose $2500 which is better than losing 2500 of your own dollars and testing out your strategy but you got to
Test out a real strategy you can’t just be like hey I’m testing out my strategy and when it doesn’t work I buy five times the amount of contracts to make my money back because that’s not how it works you know there’s there’s risk management if you want to test a strategy out you test it out buying one or scaling into into trades you know doing things that professional Traders do not gamblers these websites are set up to take money from gamblers
And there’s plenty of them out there and I’m just being honest with you if you’re going to gamble you’re probably going to lose on this most people lose it’s just I’m just being honest with you but the reason they lose is they don’t come in with a plan um you know a lot of people blow the first 5 10 accounts real quick and then they start looking at what the plan should be I I mean save your money watch some of
The videos that I’ll continue to put out and create your own trading plan and some of these you know you can get a really small account so you know just AR argument sake um actually bullnox is running a plan at $17 for a 50k so for $17 on on bullx you could uh you can get a 50k account I know it’s says 125 but the coupon code is uh get funded 90 and for $17 you can test your strategy out and
You can watch YouTube videos and do some research and study and then and you know you might blow One account you might blow two accounts but overall you will get the eval past as long as you’re following real rules that work and then you can get funded and then you can take money out that’s the way to do this the way to do it is slow and steady do not get 35 accounts and trade all these and you know go five
10 contracts in or whatever it is you know the I’ve done it I’m being honest with you I’ve done it I blew early on a lot of accounts just messing around because it it was what it was um but now I trade with my plan and it works and that’s what I would say to you because if you’re here to gamble you’re going to lose money and all these quote unquote influencers and things like that and showing you big trades they
Might have big trades but they’re making their money more on the affiliate side than actual trading side and that is being honest about it because that’s what I am I’m honest about how this works I trade um you know prop firms I trade my retirement account I trade a option screening account and even with all that I mean it’s it’s just you have to do all these other things to make you know know full-time money because it is what it is
You can have bad months you can have bad weeks um things happen in trading so you definitely I I spread it out with safer Investments um you know and secure my future because sometimes with the prop firms I’ll be honest with you I have I have a good strategy but then sometimes it it gets smoked and it happens you’re going to blow accounts you’re going to blow funded accounts everybody does it anybody that’s willing to share all their information online on
YouTube channels will show you that they blow funded accounts and they they blow eval accounts how I look at it is eval accounts are just away I don’t care if my eval account is up a th000 2,000 down 1,000 because there’s only two types of eval accounts ones that have passed and ones that haven’t so so that’s all I care about is passing so I take more aggressive trades to pass and then once I have a funded account is when I
Stick to my rules and basically um you know be very strict I have set of rules for my eval accounts as well but I don’t want to spend 10 days or 15 days to pass an eval cuz that’s not time worth it for me um I’m trying to pass an eval in 2 to 3 days um I follow my trading rules but instead of buying say one contract in my funded account maybe I buy three or four contracts in my eval
So I pass it quicker because I know my trading system works um but you know if it goes against me it is what it is I don’t want to blow funded accounts because that’s where you made your money um but yeah so I hope you got a little information about this and how to take it seriously so you don’t start wasting money come in with a trading plan and like I said don’t get it so hyped up where you don’t know
Which uh firm to use you know I use all five that are shown um I would just come in with a trading plan that’s the biggest thing um conform it to the rules of each firm that you’re going with some have the end of day uh trailing draw down some have intraday and kind of just work on that and that’s what it is I just want don’t want you guys to just gamble with you know I think it’s going to go
Up if you have to say I think and you know you’re just taking a Gamble and you don’t it’s not backed by back testing and forward testing then you should just you know save your money watch more YouTube videos read some insights maybe do some trading and then get a small account don’t get a 300K account you know get a 25 or 50k account and test your strategy and take notes when it doesn’t go well why what indicators were you using
Things like that and then kind of create a a trade plan um going forward but if you like this video like subscribe I have more content coming out thanks guys

Hey what’s up guys so I’m give you a quick review of my funded Futures so my funded futures um I feel like it’s coming on strong compared to uh some of the other ones uh they’re throwing a deal right now it’s $50 for any account and I think the upgrade is 50 bucks um let’s see what we got here here so here it is yeah 50 bucks reset is 50 bucks oh the activation fee is 100 um so the deal is
Pretty good I mean they always run some type of deal so it’s never really 200 but this is a lowest I’ve seen it um what’s nice about my funded Futures is they do have I believe it’s one day to pass yeah here one day [Music] um it’s it’s a pretty good deal they use trade of8 as well which everybody likes plus it syncs with uh trading view um I would let me let’s go back to the plans so the one thing
You got to watch out for that’s different in my funded Futures let me go to 50K account well the profit Target is 3,000 which majority of them are on a 50k account uh Max position size is only five contracts why some are seven sum are 10 so it’s a little bit smaller which is fine for me personally I don’t go higher than five contracts on a 50k account anyways um then you have the daily uh loss limit there is none Max
Trailing draw down is only 2,000 but it’s end to day so that’s a huge bonus I love end today uh draw Downs uh reset fee is basically uh the same as getting a new account they have a consistency rule um for the payouts as you can see it’s a 40% so if you make $33,000 one day cannot exceed I think it’s like 14 uh4 00 maybe 1,200 trying to do the math off the top of my head I usually keep um
I usually don’t make more than $800 a day so actually $800 a day is kind of like 3 3% 30% a little less so but I don’t want to risk it so I usually stick around $7 $800 and just be consistent um so they have have the starter account and then they have the expert account the expert account has a little bit different rules there’s no consistency rule obviously you’re paying more for this you’re paying almost triple the amount you have
To get $4,000 of profit Target uh the draw down still end the day the draw down is still 2,000 but there is no $50 activation fee so you kind of save that um in there there’s no uh scaling rule no micro scaling and the consistency rule so overall I do like this it’s pretty straightforward um I would [Music] definitely if you’re looking for account so just like me I told you I’m not set with one company I I do multiple and
This is one of the companies I would highly recommend looking into this um it it they’re all pretty much very similar listen at the end of the day you have to make good trades to make money that’s literally it it’s not rocket science but the rules do change from place to place the rules here are pretty straightforward um you know it it’s nice that some of them have the activation fee some of them don’t the $50 is great um they’re running
This deal as you can see look every account is 50 bucks 150 100 and the 50 the only thing you have to watch out for is obviously the rules change on the different accounts but this is a pretty good deal that they’re running right now the uh 50 bucks for any of them so just realize it’s 50 bucks and the reset fees is 50 bucks 50 and 50 I would definitely uh take a look at this especially if you’re one that
Plays higher dollar accounts this is a good deal higher dollar account still only 50 bucks and you could stack them I think you can get I know you can get at least four four accounts um let’s go to the FAQ real manager platforms funded accounts understand I believe you can get see how it says uh 600k I believe that’s what you are allowed so it is what it is and that’s kind of why you need multiple prop firms you can’t just
Be at one because a lot of them only allow three accounts and you know you want to have more than three accounts so then you got to kind of split it up between you know my fun the Futures and some of the other prop firms um they have their own Discord you can hang out in with other Traders you can always hang out on my live stream and watch me trade live um but yeah so it’s pretty straightforward a lot of
People are flocking here um because obviously they pay um they have a great deal going on right now so you know try it out if you want comment how you like it and if you have any questions about this one also leave a comment and I will be sure to get back to you all right thanks
Check out this video detailing a remarkably simple strategy I employ daily. In it, I demonstrate my approach to playing bounces, rejections, and breakouts. While I typically utilize the 15-minute Opening Range Breakout (ORB) strategy, you can experiment with both the 5-minute and 30-minute variations.

Hey what’s up guys so I’m going to go over one of my favorite trading strategies and super easy this is trading view um this works great for Futures Trading so if you’re trading prop firms or your own uh money in a Futures account um I only say that’s the best way because zero DTE options um just the Decay is so fast that um you know if the move doesn’t happen right away uh even a small move you will not uh earn
That much money plus it expires I’m not really into zero DTE so uh I recommend using futures or uh a prop firm to trade Futures so the indicator is just the orb 15 it’s basically a 15 minute the first 15 minutes of the the cues that range now when I trade Futures I know I’m trading NQ um but NQ and QQQ are basically the same so I chart it this way because it’s the first 15 minutes that the markets actually open
Uh I got five minutes here so there’s a couple rules I actually go by uh green is the top of the orb red is the bottom of the orb um in the morning you know just like this if we’re very strong out the gate uh I’m probably not not going to play a rejection off the 15 it it’s just one of those things uh I got to get a sense of the market most of the time obviously you can’t put this
Trade on for the first 15 minutes but a lot of times I am trading this 10:15 or on so even after the first 15 minutes I kind of even give it another half hour because sometimes you get um with so much volume you get oversized moves up or down so it’ll blow right through support or resistance and uh it’s not that true so this is Friday you could see uh it actually worked perfectly um I would say when you’re looking for
Rejections uh my goal is to get 10 points on Futures so if you’re playing with one contract that’s 200 bucks um these are easily 10o mov moves so that’s one two three 10-point moves to the bottom and the same to the other side my stop is is a 10-point stop uh I am working in something where I’ll buy three contracts sell two uh after 10 points and then uh take the one and I’ll have a a stop probably like uh seven
Points uh my stop would be three points into uh profit so it’ be a seven-point um allow for a seven-point dip so if it does keep on running I can then move that one extra contract um you know along the way and uh right here that would have worked great and then I would obviously take profit at the uh the bottom of the orb because down here I’d be looking for the bounce does this happen every day no um you know
On certain days like I said you have to get the feel of the mark Market this is why I don’t trade the bounce every day um this isn’t really a bounce this is just where the candle ended up closing and it just HP you know it just bounced the next candle but I would not really be looking for a a bounce here it’s too early on the trend was down um you know I I kind of want to let the volume
Settle out here you know here’s a good example uh you know I wouldn’t have played early on but then when it came back down I would have probably been looking for here I probably maybe would have got stopped out but as soon as we went back up into uh in here being that we were just below I probably wouldn’t do a three contract maybe I go light and I only do one um so I also size accordingly to the setups that
I see but it’s just areas of of Interest where you have the top orb if you’re inside the orb uh you know the trading range I would look for it to be resistance and uh the bottom to be support you also have to get the feel of the day is definitely a plus I do like that when we trade from one top of the Zone all the way to the bottom like you see here I definitely really like that and that’s
One where I would take a sizable position for for a bounce when you go from one from the top of the zone to the bottom kind of not straight down but kind of just grind down like that um I do like the top balances uh especially when you go really far above the uh the range here and then you come all the way back down that’s something I like rather than like these little bounces here would I try a long there
Uh probably especially if the market felt good um you know it’s not always going to bounce on on the line so if it didn’t go that much over maybe I take uh a one contract instead of a three for something like that so I’m just showing you examples and some days it’s just messy like if it’s messy like this I’ll probably just stay out of this trade um something like this I probably would have taken a trade right here and probably
Would have gotten stopped out and then I would have just said listen this is messy I also take a look at where um you know the pivots are and uh you know vwap so if it’s just like messy and it’s going way past my indicators and things like that I’ll just take a step back and let the market trade a little bit um but when I would see this come all the way back up to the top here I would definitely
Take a uh being that we went from one side like below the Zone into the zone and then to the top uh I would probably take a sizable position at the top um you know you just have to get the feel of the market you got to see you know what the leaders are doing what what Apple’s doing Nvidia is doing um you know so so I look at that stuff to kind of get a gauge as well but the bottom
Or I mean some a day like this I mean I would have played it once maybe I would have caught the bottom here twice and then three times um you know nothing is 100% so if you’re looking for that golden indicator that this is 100% it doesn’t exist so I’m just here to put the odds in my favor and that’s what this orb does and then I combine it with um with other indicators and uh that’s how I trade the 15minute
My #1 Day Trading Strategy – I like to keep things very simple when trading. I found this strategy about 4 years ago and since then it has been my go to. I like it because there is no bias and it allows me to leg into trades. Also forces me to stay out of trades when in the middle of trading ranges and not doing stupid trades. We have all over traded and this stopped me from doing that. Mostly I trade the NQ with this but it works well with stocks as well.

Welcome back to another video about my trading strategies, my daily recaps, my everything that’s going on with trading. Be sure to like, subscribe to the channel, and I basically drop videos every day. I recap things that I’ve traded, um just talk about different strategies like I’m going to do today, and all the uh market commentary and everything else that goes along with this. So, today I was going to go over my number one strategy for day trading. It’s pretty simple, actually.
So, what you’re looking at is TradingView in front of you. And I put on a free indicator. It’s called pivot points. So, within the indicators, type in pivots. It’s the first one. Just traditional, it sets it automatically. I don’t change settings. I don’t do anything. It is super simple to add. Um I do pay for TradingView, so I don’t know how if there is a free version, I’m not sure, but basically I pay the fee every month for this, and I
Believe because I have futures, I might pay five extra dollars for it, but you could do what what I do also is you could do it on the cues. Um I do trade Q pivot points as well. It works as you can see right there, and I’m going to go over all the different ways I play it and things like that right now. So, this is the NQ futures. This is what I primarily trade, and I roll out I have a
Couple different settings on here. I am going to just remove them so you don’t even see them on the chart. And now we’re just left with the pivot points. So, I found that this is probably my number one strategy. I basically use them for support. I use them for resistance. And the way I get in and out, um I don’t I pre- basically like a zone. So, for argument’s sake, I also don’t play many touches. So, I definitely play the first
Touch. And if we don’t really drop, for example, right here, we don’t really drop that much, I’m not looking to short it again. That’s so, I primarily play uh first touch for the most part, and sometimes I’ll play second touch. So, what I like to do, I’m just going to show you examples real quick. Um you know, you could see the first touch right here. You got it a large candle down. That was a 8:29. I mean, you’re looking at a
30-point move right there. That is a nice move. Um that was just yesterday. I mean, when you bounce, typically when you go from one pivot point to the next, uh that is a great trade coming up. So, like this was on Thursday, we literally went and dropped Man, what is that? That’s almost 200 points. When we hit that, so basically I lay again, I use um micros, so I do five at a at a clip. So, argument’s sake, say the pivot
Zone is right here, it’s 333. I’ll probably put one I’ll probably put a buy to buy five at uh you know, maybe 347, again at 340, and then I’ll put one right on there at 3:33. And then I put after so I I I probably put it at like 3:25, 3:20 and a move like this, a 200 point move down, I’m probably looking to accumulate about 40 to 50 uh micros, which would be equivalent to five um minis. Um with a
Bounce like this, I I mean, typically I start taking off um you know, at 10 to 12 points up, I’ll start taking off and then I’ll take off at, you know, 15, 20, 25 and like every five points I will continuously leak out my contracts. Um you know, for this example, I would have I would have been pretty much all out at at around 80. Um so on the first bounce, I would have I would have gotten you know, them all
Out profit. So being that it came down and touched the second time, I probably would have taken about 25. I would have probably legged in again. And I probably would have taken about 25 to 30. And I would have done the same strategy and I would have gotten uh gotten out again. I mean, those are massive gains. Um you know, you get just called 30 points and then another 30 points is 60 points. If you’re playing just one contract on 60
Points, I mean, one contract on 10 10 points is 200. So it’s $1,200 you could have made with just one. And when you’re playing five, that’s uh 50 micros that equivalent to five contracts. So I mean, you’re talking you’re talking grand. Um on on that. So, I mean, you can make a lot of money really quick on these pivot points. Um they do tend, you know, like anything, it never stops at just a line. It’s just an area of you know,
Where you’re probably going to see a pause on the upside or downside. And it happens all too often. All too often. I mean, you could just see multiple times. I typically also, um one of my rules is I definitely do not trade it within the last 15 minutes of the market because you get a lot of uh algo candles. So, I typically don’t trade the first 15 minutes of open and fit last 15 minutes because there’s too many algo candles. There’s
Too much volume going on that could definitely push it one way or the other. Also, when news comes out, all bets are off as well. Um if if there’s news that comes out, you’ll probably blow through them one way or the other. Um just that’s with any indicator. News uh surpasses all. And that’s um that’s pretty much the way way it goes. But you could just see countless times. So, here’s an example of one that you would you would definitely like
Grab some, but when you start seeing it making higher lows and you’re kind of staircasing up here, that to me is definitely a no-go. So, I put a I would have probably started grabbing some on these and we would have gotten a little move. And I probably would have loaded up again, and then we went down would have leaked out a couple, but as I would want it to break this low. And if we didn’t break this low, I’d have probably
Been all out. I would probably would have made a little bit of money here and I would have been gone. Um and then once we broke and and did this and start playing around I I wouldn’t have even played that cuz last 10 minutes or so of the market, we just broke over. I kind of like it. I like when we make the large moves. Like something like this, the large move. And then you hit it. Um that’s what I’m looking
For more than anything. Like when you go from this pivot point to this pivot point, that’s the type of move I’m looking for. And then when you consolidate here, I’m done with the pivot points. It’s it’s null null and void. Um you know, cuz eventually you are going to break through it. And when you do break through, you do get a nice move. I mean, that’s what happened here is we broke we we hit I played the move, and then we
Start consolidating. I remember this. Um This was just last week, and uh I went in pretty heavy, and we were below the pivot point, but I saw the consolidation and then other indicators that I use start coming into play, and uh you know, the pivot point’s holding it down, but I know once it breaks, we’re going for a ride. And sure enough, that’s exactly what happened. Um there’s other examples the same day was we had this massive drop. Um once this
Pivot point didn’t hold, uh I think I got out even or a small loss here, and then I kind of just watched, and we just blew right through. So, when we start accelerating like this to the downside, I don’t always um when we got here, I probably put orders above the pivot point cuz I want to see the pivot point hold and bounce through, and um we were just basically just selling off here. It was like one big waterfall and I’m
Not getting in front of that. So, I did like that we bounced. And then once we got here, I did take a shot. I took a shot because we were at See where it says S3? So, you’re you opened up today. You had support one, support two. You’re already at support three. It was definitely extended. Um, you know, we were down almost What is that? 300 points? So, I had to take a shot. I don’t think I went that heavy. I
Think I grabbed like 20 25 micros. And that’s what it was. Um, but yeah, this was a serious bounce and you could just see the pivot points coming to play all so often. You know, of just support, resistance. You know, support again. Resistance. And then sometimes you do blow through them. And you know, sometimes you will take that loss. So, my I usually gear up um, I’m probably at a 25 point uh, from the pivot point down or up, whatever way
You’re playing. I’ll take I’ll wait till it’s about 25 points before I take the loss. And the reason is cuz I’m still legging in. I’m I’m legging in a little above, at and a little below. So, after cuz a lot of times you will, like right here, you’ll get this wick below. And then sure enough, it it it bounced all the way back up. I mean, that’s 50-something points. So, it doesn’t look like there was a bounce here. It’s a 50-point
Bounce. I would have gotten all my contracts out. But, yeah, so something like this, I probably would have taken some type of loss. And you will take losses. That’s with any indicator, any trading. you’re going to take losses. Um but I keep this on and I can just show you examples and examples. But some days, look, the day opens and we don’t hit anything. There’s nothing. You just chopped. And you know what I do all day? I sit here and pretty
Much don’t trade. And it’s okay not to trade. Sometimes with the prop firms, you have to make a trade and then I will just, you know, go in small on something and and it is what it is. Um but yeah, so you know, I would definitely say put it on your chart. It’s just areas of interest. Um I only like making, you know, two or three like real trades during the day, sometimes one. And I when I say real, I mean
I go in with about five contracts or like I said, 50 micros. And that to me is full size. I’m in and I’m I’m here to make um thousands of dollars within one trade. I’m not looking to scalp. Um you know, when it gets around these areas of interest, I’m looking to I’m looking to grab contracts and looking to make real money. And um yeah, you could just see works all too often. Works too much to to deny it. And like
I said, sometimes, you know, you blow right through. And if you notice you’re blowing right through, just give it a second and see if it reclaims it. If it doesn’t reclaim it, just wait till the next one and just and so on. But sure enough, it will eventually reclaim and you get it on the way up. So, this is my my uh one of my top indicators that I for day trading. It’s all too much. It It works for me. Um
I have a couple others, as you see, I canceled them off. I don’t have all these I don’t draw all these trend lines. I don’t do all this other stuff. I keep it pretty simple. And I think that’s the best way to start off is find a simple uh indicator that you like, that works, and that’s the best way to make consistent money. Um I hope you enjoyed the video.

What’s up guys so I know I talked about some other firms today I want to talk about TOP Step pretty uh pretty cool uh prop firm here they actually offer you a lot um just some some of the stats um I mean you could do the uh you can get funded in two days which is always nice so here’s here’s what they got right now $49 for 50k account 100 bucks for 100 and 149 for 150 so pricing is pretty good
I will say that pricing is right in line with one of the lowest that that there is out there um max contracts is definitely on the lower side but that’s not always a bad thing um and their Max loss is 2,000 um so what’s good about this see what it says right there calcul at the end of each trading day that’s actually massive because how other ones work say you you start at 50,000 and you’re in a position you go up
To 51,000 and you don’t take profit and it comes all the way back and you sell it break even at 50,000 well your draw down is now $1,000 less because your Peak was at 51,000 but how this works is it goes at the end of the day so just because you went up a th000 down 1,000 your draw down stays the same all day no big deal that’s actually huge I love that feature um that is definitely something I do look
At uh oh well at least you know they’re checking so yeah so let’s talk about that so they also offer free coaching here which is interesting they probably I know they have um they’re on YouTube that I do know they have the top Step TV Discord Community I mean pretty cool a Discord Community you go in there you probably talk with other Traders I’m not big on Discord but I know some people really are I have seen them on YouTube live
Which is uh definitely a nice touch I mean what else they have resource Library let’s see what we got here I mean just the accounts alone are great price with uh I like the rules so right off the bat I I do like this program uh just some videos yeah so they are they definitely offer you some help but you know overall we’re all here looking for the the accounts the draw downs and things like that and this is right in
Line what I’m looking for if you’re looking for a prop firm I would definitely give this one a try um the draw down at the end of the day is huge um um let’s go to see how it works so basically you got to hit the profit Target so 50k account is the 3,000 um you could trade all the normal stuff this is pretty much with any prop firm uh oo I like that charts from trading view I like that because
A lot of them sometimes don’t work oh look you can use trade of8 which is what you see me trade with I’m probably going to I’m probably going to change to Quant Tower soon um yeah I’m going to probably get off trade of eight you probably heard me complain about it multiple accounts you can have up to three accounts you only need five winning days of 200 plus to earn yourself a pay that’s after you pass the first challenge I think
You can only do up to 50% so if you need to get $3,000 I think you can do 1,500 one day500 another day and then you pass then once you pass you just have to have five trading days of 200 plus to earn you a payout which is pretty pretty easy um the fact that they process payouts daily is a huge plus um some of them you have to wait two weeks daily is definitely Ely um a positive Trader certificate that’s
Whatever I don’t I don’t care about that no all right so it’s pretty straightforward I do like the pluses about this one are um the rules are pretty simple to pass fast payouts five winning days once you’re funded pretty simple I think the only negatives are uh you can only have three accounts which is definitely a negative and um it’s only a $2,000 draw down but that’s a negative because other ones have 2500 but the other ones um calculate the peak
Within the day so I would probably rather a daily $2,000 draw down rather than the peak um draw down be 2500 so there’s definitely more positives than negatives um yeah so if you’re interested in TOP Step uh I have a link with a coupon code in the description take a look and comment let me know how you like the program

What’s up guys so I wanted to do a takeprofit Trader review um I’ve used them several times for different uh accounts and I was going to go over kind of the different rules they have compared to some of the other prop firms that I’ve done the review on um just to start right now they’re running a 40% off for life and never pay an activation fee so whatever well this is their YouTube channel which is pretty insightful it’s good that they
Give you a video um yeah so basically I believe it’s $100 for the initial around about $100 for the initial and then there’s no activation fee which is great I believe they also have a reset on the pro see up to three resets so basically once you become Pro if you end up failing the pro account and can’t pull money out you could pay for a reset the pay for the resets actually vary depending on the the account size um they
Are expensive but it might be worth it it’s up to you um see right here it says fees for a pro account is a onetime Fe fee this is true a lot of the other companies have recurring fees if you watch some of my other review videos a few of them do have also onetime fees um none of them that I know offer Pro resets it’s only on takeprofit Trader which that’s a pretty good benefit contract limits that’s interesting that there’s
No um withdrawal I heard about this yes you could basically take take out the money uh you know pretty quickly that’s why a lot of people choose take profit Trader over some of the other ones [Music] um well the evaluation is 5 days some of the other ones vary some want you to do five I’ve seen 10 uh I’ve also seen pass in one day so 5 days is not terrible because it makes it so you’re not try trying to push
The account to go over in a day and you do stupid trades so even when I trade on ones that do have one day pass it typically still takes me two to three days so 5 days is not terrible at all and minimum days until first withdrawal that’s actually the best is zero days can’t really beat that um obviously they’re talking about you know why use prop firms you very use very little cash as long as you pass you basic basically
Using their money um yeah so it’s 40% off which is about $100 for the 50k I trade mostly 50s it just seems to be the best um so they have a daily loss limit of $1,100 if you hit that the account’s done um and then the end of day which means say you start at 50,000 and you go up in the middle of the day to 52,000 but the day ends at 51,000 then your end to-day trailing draw down is based
On the 51,000 not the highest peak and that’s a benefit because a lot of the other firms have uh trailing to the peak of the account so in that scenario they would have the trailing draw Down based on the 52,000 not the end of day so I do like the end of day um obviously they sync with uh Ninja Trader Trader V and trading View being that they sync with trading view that’s a huge plus so any newbies I I want
To say newbie as a bad term but anybody that’s new to this typically uses trade of baap it’s free uh it’s a halfway decent program um I prefer trading view uh I pay for trading View and has all better scripts and things like that I use trading view with all my trades even if I have a trade of eight8 account up to place the trades I am always using uh trading View at some point um the rhythmic data feed I use
Uh rhythmic Trader Pro on another PL firm I do like the software this one offers it as well which is nice cuz if I have rhythmic Trader Pro I can use takeprofit Trader and my other prop firms as well at the same time I like using multiple prop firms not just staying with one so that’s why I do make review videos about different prop firms cuz I think you should spread it out um and each one has a different set of
Rules and something like take profit Trader the bonus is you can take your money out right away so as we go down it’s just more of what they offer on the pro and they have a Pro Plus account obviously the splits are better um yeah commissions are better and there is no daily loss rule I like that so this is the one downfall and this is why I always say I like other used multiple accounts is uh with takeprofit Trader you
Can only have three accounts three paid accounts so some of them offer three uh one of them offers 11 one of them offers 20 like other firms so that’s also why I mix it up um I’m not all sold on one firm but I do like takeprofit Trader it should definitely be in your mix um and then we go to all the frequently asked questions they have a lot of information on their website overall I I would say that you should
Give this a shot I gave it a shot I like it I have accounts with them um never had an issue and it seems like they’ve been around for a very long time which is good because you want to get paid they’re always running a deal I I want to say the best deal I saw was maybe 50% off at some point um but this one is really good the the 40% off for Life uh and never pay an activation fee
Cuz as you saw with other firms I’ve seen activation fees um $105 [Music] $48 um you know so they’re always over a 100 so you’re saving that which is which is Big um yeah so I like it like I said I use it it’s in the mix you could see through reviews you could probably search on Reddit and Facebook pages uh takeprofit Trader pays you which is the number one thing because there’s a lot of shady uh prop firms out there
And you want to make sure if you pass you give them the money and you do everything that you get paid and everything that um you know everything that I’ve seen myself and with others uh there have been no issues with payments uh via takeprofit Trader so I would definitely give it a shot um they have a YouTube channel you can take a look at they got you know all types of the free Playbook if you’re brand new at trading you
Should probably uh get that or watch some of my other videos well that’s pretty much my review I mean they use trade of8 you’ve seen me use trade of8 um youve SE me use rhythmic Trader Pro so it’s just another firm the trading is the same and you just got to follow the rules and it’s pretty pretty simple so if you like this video be sure to uh like subscribe follow me when I’m trading live using these firms during the week

Recap – Funded Account Almost Ready For A Payout – Apex Trader Funding – Prop Firm Trading
Transcript
Auto-generated from the video audio — expect imperfect punctuation.
What’s up so today was a pretty crazy day because we had the earnings of Google and Microsoft after hours and that was yesterday so today when we opened up we were up already a ton so we gapped up and uh we got a little fake out in the morning for a for a downside and then we basic basically went up for the majority of the day and then uh and that was pretty much the day um just to recap my accounts
This is my funded account um up 593 I’m eligible for a payout so next week I have five trading days and then after that if I get to 52,600 I can request a $2,000 pay out um so this this would be good without a doubt so follow along see if I get paid um and then I ended up blowing up my other paid account don’t do what I did I basically traded pre-market did some stupid stuff and I was down like
1,500 real fast and then I just pressed to make it back and and it didn’t work work at all um and then I got these these other EV vales this one’s up 278 and this one’s down this one was down almost $2,000 and I made it a lot of it back um evals are are to me just you’re either passed an eval or you didn’t because there’s plenty of times you’re going to get it to like 52,000 and then you’re just
Going to blow it up so I never get too much like oh my eval is where it is like one good trade because you’re usually playing three or four contracts at a time so your eval is going to go up or down $1,000 at a clip pretty easily so I’m not really uh worried about evals ever um I also got a funded account I passed so I passed a lot of evals in bullx and the deal is you can have three
Paid accounts and then once one of those paid accounts hits 52,600 you can get a fourth and and ongoing so I’m actually I have four accounts over the 53,000 so they’re going to I’m going to get three Live accounts on uh Monday or Tuesday because you have to trade five five days in it and then um yeah so I’ll have three fun funded there and I’ll have the funded over over at Apex and I’ll be trading them mostly uh the one
Live funded in bullnox was up uh I think about three $298 today you have to trade that 10 days and then I can request a payment so I’ll just keep trading that um yeah I mean overall you know it sucks that I lost a a funded account but my other funded account when was up 600 and we just keep keep going and um the bullox one was up 300 so I think overall it was a decent day um I didn’t get
Any any evals over so it is what it is on that front um
Best Prop Firms – 5 Top Prop Trading Firms For Futures

What’s up guys so today I’m going to go over the best prop trading firms before I get into this I would like you to like subscribe take a look at some of the other videos and sometimes you might catch me live uh trading during the day so all right let’s get into this I know before I get all the hate if you have affirmed that I did not review put it in the comments and I will take a look so I’m
Going to go over the top five that I think are the top five and um couple the reasons why and the rules and things like that so first bull KNX I like them because they’re running a 90% off deal right now and a 50k trading account is only $17 which is really probably the smallest amount um to get it’s a different coupon code than this it’s uh getf funded 90 I think was the the coupon code and it becomes uh 17
Bucks um they have basically the same rules um you know it’s get to $3,000 um $2500 draw down that’s from peak of the account uh first $110,000 is1 % um they also have an end to day account basically just uh end of the day I think it’s $2,000 so whatever your end of the day balance is um you know it moves the moov the trailing draw down is based on the end of the day max contracts are only seven compared to
Uh 10 in some of the other accounts um but I I don’t even trade seven Accounts at a time in my 50k so that’s fine um but yeah the I use rhythmic Trader Pro through bullnox I like the the software and they do the same thing um so actually you have to use rhythmic Trader Pro or like a maybe Quant Tower um or ninja Trader uh they don’t use trade of eight so that’s a negative if you only if you have
A Mac I think it’s a little bit harder because other other programs are only Built for uh PCS um so yeah so this is $17 uh rules are pretty straightforward after I think you’d have three funded accounts um it says up to 11 I’m I’m quite I think once the three each account gets over the 526 um you can Implement a fourth and fifth and and whatever so the next one I’m going to go over is apex apex is where I
Started um they have the the same type of accounts um you know the 50ks 100ks 50ks is the same thing um where is it they have a a deal they always have a deal right now it’s 80% off um 3,000 you can trade 10 contracts um trailing threshold 2500 you can use uh you can use rhythmic Trader Pro and you can use trade of8 so and you can use ninja Trader um you know but if you have a Mac they offer
Trade of eight which is is definitely good um yeah I I like their programs basically you could pull money out um twice a month it’s pretty straightforward you know hit the 3,000 profit right now they have pass in one day so it’s just one day you get $3,000 you have a funded account you funded account you got to trade 10 days um simple rules I I definitely like uh Apex um you know definitely one of the the top ones I’ve used
Tap profit Trader before um I know one of my friends uses them they love it they love it because once you get funded you can get a payout on day one you just have to get over uh 52,000 600 maybe roundabout the problem is the daily loss limit is 1100 which he does not like but what’s good is they do an end today drawing uh trailing draw down for 2,000 but you’re probably not going to hit that if the daily loss
Limit is 1100 you’re probably going to hit 1100 unless you lose two days in a row and then you’re going to hit the 2,000 um he loves these guys I I like it I don’t like the $1,100 draw down because there are plenty of days that I go down ,200 or 1,400 and then I finish a day off positive so for me this doesn’t work but I know my friends like these accounts so I’m including it in in one of the
Best ones they always you know tell me to get an account there and I have I just wasn’t really thrilled I got I think four or five accounts and I kept on hitting the daily loss limit and I was like I had enough of this but they love it I think they play a little bit uh small early on and they make a couple decent trades and then they have room to play with where they can um you know push it
Later on in a day next one is TOP Step A lot of people use TOP Step um basic stuff I mean you could see you know they’re paying out tons of people um you know 20,000 funded accounts in March uh they’ve been around for ages uh you know to get a funded account is two days basically if you earn 1,500 in one day500 the next day you have your funded account super simple um you know here’s the 50k accounts maximum loss
Is only 2,000 here uh profit Target is 3,000 so that’s $500 less um $49 is not terrible at all there’s def there’s an activation fee so that’s once you pass eval there’s a activation fee to get the funded account um yeah you have three you have three paid accounts um I I had a couple accounts with the top step I like it you can use um so they’re on YouTube all the time with the top Step TV they have the the
Chat room they give you a lot of different things if you’re if you’re brand new this might be a place that you might want to try just to get some of the education courses and things like that um they give you a little bit more than just uh just being a prop firm top tier I’ve tried this out um it wasn’t bad I always get this confused I always get TOP Step and top tier confused um pretty much the same thing
But they’ve been around for a little bit um they do have minimum trading days on their accounts so that means you know you got to you got to trade a little bit before you could uh pass um their 50k account is $5,000 which is not great when the others are 3,000 um but you also your max loss is 5,000 which is great um and they have the uh the daily loss the one thing that you wanted to look at real quick
Is there’s different phases so once you complete phase one you then have to do phase two and they make it easier because now you only need $2500 with a $5,000 um max loss and then basically you’re funded um and once you’re funded you know it’s $5,000 loss which is which is great um it’s definitely one to test out I think they refund you when you get a funded account as you see down here um I know people that love top tier
It’s not one that I use on The Daily uh but yeah the price is obviously up there but they do make it easier for you to pass um it’s one of those that I guess if you’re new because they have such a large loss limit you you would probably keep your account around longer so you could kind of stay in the game longer than if you went with one of the other accounts and then it brings me to the last one
Which is my funded futures um um they’re running a deal right now it’s $50 I think on any account so all these accounts would be 50 bucks there’s no activation fee which is amazing um don’t quote me on all of that I have to see the coupon again um they have the profit Target is this one is three grand which is the same as the other ones activation fee is 50,000 once you get funded um um the Max draw down is
Only 2,000 but then this one with no activation fee you have to hit a hit uh 4K but no activation fee is pretty nice um and the draw down is end of day not uh intad day which is huge I love the end of day draw Downs versus the intro day um yeah it’s it’s definitely a a bonus there um yeah I like the deal that they’re running now a lot of people are flocking over here they pay and um yeah
The $50 I think it’s 50 bucks for any account so I would I would say this is a good spot to uh to test out I believe they use trade of8 and uh rhythmic [Music] um but yeah it’s it’s pretty straightforward well if you like this video be sure to subscribe like the channel um hopefully I give you some more great videos and if you’re around during the day swing on catch me live uh live trading each day
