What’s going on, guys? So, this is the monthly wrap-up. Everybody wants to know the money made. This is the question everyone has on their mind. Some people ask through the month. Um, so this is the episode you want to watch. Uh, before I get into that, we stream live every day 10:30 to noon, 2:00 p.m. to 4:30. Uh, and if you trade prop firms and you want to support the stream, use coupon code. It’ll automatically give you the best deals at

All the prop firms. Um, all right. So, I I guess I’ll just go run through it. The total I made was $30,869. Um, the only thing I didn’t add in there, I didn’t really trade my personal account that much. I think I was up like 1,500. I didn’t even bother opening it up. I have a personal account with Ninja. Uh, I think I traded it like three or four days all month and that was it. But, uh, yeah, so that’s the

Number. Um, right here is my Robin Hood account. This is a smaller account I have. Um, you can see it was up $4,600. Uh, you can see what I still have. And then, um, when it came to prop firms, I got payouts [Music] in what did I get payouts in? I got pays in Apex, Topep, Fidas, My Funded Futures, uh, My Funded Futures. That might have been it. The total for profit firm payouts was [Music] $10,30. Um, oh, and take profit

Trader. I I can’t believe I forgot that. Yeah. And take profit trader. Um the total came out to $10,30 in prop firm payouts. The total in stock and options that I made was 20,839. And like I said, I made another close to 1,500 trading futures in Ninja on my personal account. Um Erade completely messed up yesterday. So I went to pull this up today and realized the month is over. So, it’s showing me nothing. Those are just the things that I’m

In. Um, if you want to see, I posted some stuff through the month on my Twitter. You know, that was obviously a good day. I mean, I obviously had some really good days through the month and you could just go back and look. I tried to scroll through some of my uh I tried to scroll through some of my lives to see when I brought up on the screen, but I couldn’t find it. So, it is what it is. I also

Got some screenshots of my I guess my broker statement. Hold on. So, this is my broker statement from a couple of them. They do it they calculate gains as when I sell. So, I actually made technically more money cuz that’s a,000. That’d bring me up to what? 14,000 and then that would bring me up to like 18,500. But when I checked Erade, how I do it like with this screen, it was only 15,918. So, they’re saying obviously I made more money.

Um, but I always calculate my gains as the value of what I’m up at the current time and everything else, not when I actually sell it. So, I guess technically this is more correct because they’re realized gains and I made more money. So, maybe I made I don’t know 34,000. Like, I don’t care. Like, it is what it is. I’m doing this for you guys. Technically, I don’t even look at this. I honestly, unless you guys ask about it, um I

Would never have even went back through my month because I know I’m profitable. I see the account growing and Robin Hood just makes it easier. I can just kind of like look at it here. You can see I made a lot of money. I’m probably getting rid of this account. So, I really didn’t do much in it. So, I was waiting for everything to kind of settle and then I was going to withdraw the account. Um, but now I’m kind of

Sitting here being like, should I withdraw it because I made some options videos and it’s easier to use Robin Hood and they gave me that 3% cash back card. So now I feel like I need to keep the account because the cashback card I think gets paid through there. I got to look. But that’s where I’m at. That’s why I didn’t really trade much out of, you know, after the beginning of the month in here. But yeah, so I don’t know.

My roundabout was 30,8 whatever. Um, I’m making money. Obviously, that doesn’t include my retirement account. So, I had a good month. Uh, being that the NQ is so high now, I’m not looking to really build positions up here. Um, I would like to see some type of pullback before I really start digging in with anything, but we’ll see. I mean, I’m definitely selling weekly options currently, obviously trading futures daily to make money as well. But in stock and option world, I

Kind of want to see a pullback where I can get a better entry on some uh some companies. But it is what it is. I’m just going to continue doing what I’m doing and uh we’ll see what happens. If you got questions, come on the live stream, come in the Discord and ask.
