Yo what’s going on so this is the end of a crazy week lot of Ops lot of downs big swings um yeah everything going on um it was it was pretty wild if uh you lost any accounts be sure to look in the description of this video for discounts on all different prop firms be sure to use coupon code Cove Trader and save some money so yeah it’s it’s been a wild week basically um I ended the day just to go

A quick recap took a beat in here basically just inching up trying to get this to a payout by uh end of next week and then uh this one took a little bit bit of a beaten today too right at the end of the day and then uh I got this one over so I have another funded account this one got smoked I think this got smoked [Music] too third smoke and then this is a brand new funded account it’s up

400 bucks and then uh this account is over as well so I get that I have two new funded accounts so basically I was two for five um on there also I have a uh funded I have two evals that are about uh 700 away in my rhythmic account so hopefully I can get those over next week and add another two uh two more funded and uh I got a bullox one over I’m waiting to get that funded as well um

Yeah it was just it was just a crazy week even today like we hit the peak here and then basically gave back almost all not all we’re still up a little bit but we gave back a lot of the gains at the end um I actually traded uh zero DTE Q puts QQQ puts here and uh doubled up but I sold them at like 56 or 60s and they went as high as almost $4 so I definitely sold early um I

Should have known better just to just to hold and I actually thought we would sell off end to day I should have so I’m starting to learn that when I think the trend is going to going to change to kind of take five micros and um kind of like hey I’m going to take five micros and if we break High a day it is what it is but here when we couldn’t come back up and break over here again I should

Have taken five micros and said hey I’m going to hold these to the end of the day it is what it is and if we break High a day then I’m out but you know I’m willing to take 20 points on it um you know for the bigger move basically I’m taking taking these micros for you know the 50 point move or larger so should have done that didn’t but I’m I’m starting to implement five micros because my normal position size

Is 1 to two minis so five micros gives me you know 20 points to play with and kind of let it move around um my takeprofit Trader account is up 11 almost uh $1,147 that’s nice TOP Step took a little bit of a beating here um I really want to get takeprofit Trader funded because I do want to get that that daily payout rolling so I’m kind of that’s one account that I’ve really been taking my time on and uh yeah

I just really want to pass that account and get that account funded also there’s no activation fee so I paid and bought one account and if I get it funded it’s basically $100 to uh to have a funded account so I just kind of been taking the best setups and that’s kind of how I’ve been growing it basically I should just Implement that on all my other accounts but over the weekend I really got to think about um taking less trades

Waiting for the real good setups don’t have fomo and I’ve been journaling and taking notes that I’m going to implement next next week and hopefully that should reduce my losses um a lot of it has to do with uh shorting um I take a lot of shorts thinking I’m going to NAB it and I’m it’s not really working and there’s certain things I’m going to tweak about shorting basically I’m not going to short unless we make a lower high so like

Basically don’t get caught in here shorting like you know the top and then wait until we make that lower high and then kind of say okay like if we don’t break over this I just stay in my short so here’s a couple notes I’m going to look at and um that’s pretty much it we stream every day 1:30 the end of the day so be sure to jump on that and I hope you guys were green it’s uh it was definitely

A hard uh a hard day or two of trading and uh just come back strong on Monday so I’ll see you guys then enjoy your weekend
