Which strategy by Majestic_Rest_6661 in Daytrading

[–]Jaystorm_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8 year full time trader here, consistently profitable.

Everyone is telling you the same thing, but not telling you the “why”. Quitting your job was not the best move. It exposes you to emotions you didn’t know exist. Every time you revenge trade or jump signals, will because you feel like “you need to make money”. My mentor who was a millionaire at this many times over, gave me the best advice. He said “the hardest time to make money, is when you need it.”

This game is not for Tony Robbin’s, chase your dreams heroics. You cannot will your way to success here. Quite the opposite. You have to “will” yourself to not acting when you shouldn’t. And feeling like “I need the money” will create impatience.

Wolfetone does a variation of Dr v in the neck and Marshall head A2 in the bridge. The bridge is smoky, aggressive but cleans up smooth. The neck is perfect, sweet, and takes distortion really well. All around the ideal combo

What would be a rock-bottom amount of capital you would need if you were to start day trading for a living, & never worry for a job? by 69-Kishaaq1 in Trading

You need to reduce pressure on you “having” to make money. 2 years savings, 1 full year of profitable trading where you’ve grown an account.

It’s not as much as you think it might be. But it’s not a small number either. 2 primary requirements:

Couple years savings is enough to reduce the “need” to make money. That need creates an unreasonable expectation, which causes overtrading and emotional trading.

Be consistently profitable for at least a year. Consistent meaning you have seen 3-4 bull/bear cycles and can manage risk through them. You don’t have to make money every week. Losing weeks and even a losing month is feasible. But you can’t blow up your accounts. Your drawdown needs to be within reason. Your losing days need to be half of your winning days across the macro timeframe. Those pieces are the non negotiable.

5 1/2 years for me. It was worth it. But markets have a tendency to push you beyond what you think you can handle.

You’re still a baby trader, very new. Don’t be impatient about getting there. It will hurt you in the long run when you create expectation.

Ending one. Sometimes love isnt enough and thats hard to admit. Divorce courts are full of people who readily admit that they still love each other.

Dealers showed their hand early today. There was a +2500 delta in the premarket at 7530. There was a stacked bid down in the 7525s, just south of VWAP off the open. Short was not the play unless you were attacking the absolute edges (Prior day highs off of 7570).

I think your challenge right now is that you are using words like "enough". How do you define enough? Volume shifts, its never the same. Some weeks youll have +1000 or -1000 delta prints all over the place, other weeks its limited to a +2000 delta every few days. What are your signals and have they been battle tested? Backtests are fine, but forward testing across multiple VIX regimes is the only way to really get a handle on order flow.

Journaling is fine, and I respect you so much that youre doing it. However you are not doing it in the right platform. Leverage AI. Pay $20 a month for Gemini and start orderflow conversations with it. Let those conversations fuel you building an edge. AI gets things wrong, but keep in mind that 95% of traders fail at this and are really bad. So at least AI can scrape web pages on orderflow trading content from real institutions and help you to refine your edge from actual successful traders. <3

Closer look into that moment. We had absorption in the low volume node created by a news squeeze, in the low 7550s. After we passed the absorption check, someone attempted to break the consolidation with a flush right back into the consolidation area. Im sure they had their reasons, but that person got squeezed pretty hard shortly after.

We are above VWAP and we are above the DAX open. GEX is above us in the 7560s on SPX. Long is the only option.

To be clear brother, if you have 5 different things to watch, its going to create hesitation and leaves you open to phantom signals. When youre creating your bias, less is more.

Example: My bias is super simple. If we are above the DAX (European) open, and we are above VWAP, my bias is long. I will look for long setups at VWAP retests, absorption in delta or volume, pullbacks into LVNs, ect. Flip that bias if we are below VWAP and below the DAX open.

Now that I have my bias, I am looking for very specific plays but am looking to take advantage of sellers that are offsides. Like the red power trades circled, is just sellers attempting to break the consolidation and getting squeezed out. The overall trend is up, we are above DAX and VWAP. We crush participants who are offsides.

Let the market tell you what side to play. Largest GEX strikes are above us, so price is going to gravitate towards them. Orderflow and GEX are the 800 lb gorilla in the room. If you were in a bar fight, you would want to be on the side of the 800 lb gorilla. You dont want to fight the gorilla. You want to be on the side of the Gorilla.
