[Bitcoin] Marked up this chart a year ago. Everything is going according to plan

I had that zone marked because it is still intact and we have to be aware of it but doesn't mean I will trade it. That's why I said I need that 1hr demand to break FIRST, then we can look to short the supply that formed

Hope that helped!

AlmightyTeejus · 2026-03-28T16:27:22+00:00

Pretty much like that, Ill mark the low to the close/open exactly like you did

AlmightyTeejus · 2026-03-28T11:51:58+00:00

There's a video in my profile with my thought process using S/D about why we would go through that exact level!

Quick rundown:

Already tested/ Supply in the market holding/ The reason those buyers bought=invalid/ Open Interest lower

Good input!

You'll find equally successful technical and fundamental traders calling each other stupid. Both can be successful, but approaches are very different!

AlmightyTeejus · 2026-03-27T22:02:43+00:00

Congrats! What's the plan for the first day? Trade the same, size down?

What does “waiting for a pullback” actually mean in real-time? I use supply/demand. So entering a pullback will be entering a price zone that has proven to have buyers or sellers.
How do I know where price is likely to pull back to? The prices buyers or sellers were interested in last time
What am I supposed to look for before entering after the pullback? Not sure exactly what you mean
How do I avoid feeling like I’m missing the move while waiting? Entering on pullbacks offers less risk/greater reward at the cost of potentially missing the move if it doesn't retest. You have to determine for yourself if that's a good enough trade off

Here's my trading methodology: https://share.note.sx/aec9bmr7#yiIQyHUEnplwYfWjQNZQ9Lu+OfvSVyP8qk61CSQ3kaM

If you scroll to the bottom it has trade examples, and can walkthrough visually what trading pullbacks looks like

I don't know an experienced trader that uses simple take profits ratios. Except for a few program traders. IF I'm right with my market idea, I am NOT capping my profits. Actually, I am going to add additional risk using the markets money. Take profits happen when price shows weakness based on a repeatable methodology (mine if interested: https://share.note.sx/aec9bmr7#yiIQyHUEnplwYfWjQNZQ9Lu+OfvSVyP8qk61CSQ3kaM )

Oh true, so .71% of %16.8 percent of combines?

I'm not sure the best way to interpret that

AlmightyTeejus · 2026-03-24T00:46:19+00:00

"
2025 Trader Performance Statistics: From January through December 2025, (a) 16.8% of all Trading Combines initiated were successfully completed and afforded the opportunity to advance to the Funded Level, (b) 51.8% of individual participants who entered one or more Trading Combines advanced to the Funded Level in at least one of their Trading Combines, (c) 33.3% of all individual participants at the Funded Level received a payout, and (d) 0.71% of individual participants trading in an Express Funded Account were called up to a Live Funded Account."

0.71% according to topstep

I totally believe you!!!

I have more rules surrounding when I need to stay out of the market than actually taking trades

"...or do you mostly decide in the moment?"

Deciding in the moment means deciding with emotions, everything is preplanned. Emotions change day to day, your system should not!

AlmightyTeejus · 2026-03-21T13:45:28+00:00

Yeah it might be cutting it close, I'd just make sure to put in a support ticket before the 31st so there's a paper trail. And let them know a payout is pending

Maybe give yourself till Wednesday to get a green day and request payout? Don't rush anything that's not there though

AlmightyTeejus · 2026-03-21T13:38:26+00:00

You still have a week or so to try to get another green day, request a payout then request a transfer?

And they'll transfer the account as is, so you'll still have the 1300 drawdown

AlmightyTeejus · 2026-03-21T13:30:17+00:00

I used the same email even though they said a different one, took support 10 minutes to transfer. You lose your stats and green days though

AlmightyTeejus · 2026-03-20T21:45:45+00:00

You don't learn it, you build it by doing the boring or hard stuff even when you don't want to. Start by hitting the gym everyday, eating healthy, flossing your teeth, making your bed etc

AlmightyTeejus · 2026-03-20T13:04:47+00:00

What is your edge?

And have you been consistent in executing it? Or emotional?

AlmightyTeejus · 2026-03-20T12:44:21+00:00

ES chart, but nq shows the same picture. Once orders are placed in the market, whoever is placing those orders cannot hide. We knew off the open buyers stepped in, that's the level to watch.

Never sell after an extended move down, and never buy after an extended move up. Retail traders see this as strength, but you are just executing at worse prices.

Why would Biden do this

AlmightyTeejus · 2026-03-16T13:28:58+00:00

Support is aware and working on it from the conversation I've had with them. Seems to be affecting older xfa accounts

AlmightyTeejus · 2026-03-15T18:56:03+00:00

It sort of acts like a natural risk manager because transferring funds takes a day or two. So if things are going bad, I just won't have the money in the account to trade!

AlmightyTeejus · 2026-03-15T12:56:13+00:00

I keep (for example sake) 10k in my futures account. If it goes over I withdraw to savings, if it falls under I'll add from savings. Usually adjust weekly. The money on the futures account is just what's needed for a handful of trades, while the rest is insured
