What’s going on guys so today was uh ah type of day um before I get into that uh I’m going back to streaming the normal time probably 1:30 till uh the end of the day maybe like till 4:30 uh it seems like everyone’s around more around then so I will uh be around for you guys also if you blew any accounts it’s set that coupon code Cove Trader will give you the biggest discount on takeprofit Trader Apex fast track my funded

Futures so be sure to use that if you blew any accounts or you want to try uh to get another one other than that let me jump into today I mean gez if H if I don’t trade the morning which is the first 15 minutes I am up probably $400 in all of uh in these accounts and up5 $600 in these accounts I basically lost all my money in the first 15 minutes and then have spent the rest of the day

Making it back luckily I passed this account I passed this account um this one even though I made 3200 today did not pass but hopefully I get that one over um you know and then just kind of getting some of these other ones up I also started copy trading I moved off Nitro and I’m on Quant Tower I know basically the same thing but being just on regular Quant Tower allows me to copy trade FasTrack and Apex together um the problem

Is the Apex accounts on there are rhythmic accounts and not these accounts but I was able to pass a rhythmic account today so I’ll give me three more accounts over um and then I obviously had gains in in uh a lot of the FastTrack accounts I’m just looking at one it’s up 180 bucks and I copy traded that throughout a lot um I’m liking Quant Tower so I’m going to be trading Quant Tower probably mostly but I’ll always copy those trades

On trade of8 for you to see it um I had another day I blew not blew this but I took this hit last night I didn’t even trade that today uh I went over my whole orb strategy um on the stream today if you missed it maybe I’ll make a video about it maybe I won’t maybe I’ll talk about it on the stream tomorrow but uh the orb strategy has been working um playing it all different types of ways and um

I’m going to implement it tomorrow the first 15 minutes using a 150k account only and we’re going to just push forward like that but yeah some of my accounts took a beaten today literally that was the first these accounts were down 1,800 bucks and I made back about $400 the rest of the day which leads me to believe just stop trading the open and just stick with what’s been working and what’s been getting me payouts which is more of the day

Um just trading the normal stuff you know this was the day we had a ton of Pivot Point balances plenty of opportunities to make a lot of money you know I don’t need to trade the open when everything else provides me so many trades through the day um you know it’s just why why do it why risk the open where you get a lot of Wicks up Wick down it doesn’t hold uh support that well kind of overshoots Cu of so

Much volume when I can just wait until a more controlled environment which is usually 10:00 on and then kind of stop trading around 340 um you know I love when we return to 34 we did that right there this consolidation after the morning was nice we dipped Consolidated that’s actually my favorite pattern and then we broke out um just a lot of good trades today I uh like I said I’m up in FasTrack I’m up in rhythmic Apex the only accounts

I really took a hit on are the ones I traded in the morning so I learned my lesson I’ll be back tomorrow on the stream normal time um and that’s pretty much it this is all about learning and uh and I know a lot of you guys that hung out after hours was talking about making uh a channel in Discord talking about companies options and things like that I made a channel within our Discord the Discord link is in the description

Of this video um I’m going to start posting there over the weekend and hopefully we get some good ideas in there and I can kind of share what I look at and my information and you know and build a nice little uh channel in there so that’s pretty much it if you have questions comments comment below and uh I’ll get right back to you guys all right hopefully I see you on the stream tomorrow and hopefully you guys has made more
