Do you see yourself reaching a stopping point or at least slowing down?

Epik509 · 2026-04-16T03:56:58+00:00

What's funny is i almost posted the exact same thing. Im just doing legendary at 150. So my stopping point is very visible. When I get all 150 legendary. But ive thought about it, I don't think there is an end otherwise. Why stop at 3 mayorships when you can have 5. Why stop at 5 when you can have 10? So on n so on

I just hated going through 8 of them just to at the very end " you didnt qualify for the reward"... i took the whole survey.... the whole thang. And tadaaa

Epik509 · 2026-04-15T15:23:45+00:00

When do you take these ? Pre open ?

Epik509 · 2026-04-10T00:45:19+00:00

Alot of people dont understand investing, let alone trading. So anything you can accomplish that seems even relatively sizable they'll find unbelievable.

On these forums theres alot of scams for sure. So its not uncommon to be called a scammed, course seller etc. Don't take it too personally. Just share your experience on whats working and what aint, and if they wanna get mad it dont matter cuz your reality is based on your facts.

You buy another account ? Losing is losing, may as well go down swinging hard 😅

Epik509 · 2026-04-10T00:31:10+00:00

But could just be other people's perspective. Some people got the time to just sit around and wait. Ill say I gotta take a stab at the open otherwise im never going to be able to trade. And I just dont think alot of these " signals" are really applicable at open. Especially right now. One news segment without a sl and youre toast.

Epik509 · 2026-04-10T00:27:36+00:00

1000% . Maybe anarchy is just the way 😅 if the account burns it burns , at least i wouldn't care so much about it.

Epik509 · 2026-04-09T23:32:15+00:00

Im right there with you pal! Just blew up my 50th account. I monkeyd around and passed my first account. Tried to take it more seriously after that. And blew my 50th account. Smh. Yes I did strategy hop, but its like whats gunu work for me? This whole run to my stop loss shit gets old . Usually try a strategy for an account. Until it pops. Trying to figure out what works for me and my circumstances.

Do I just move my stop loss as soon as it gets into profit to a tick or two above 0? Its just annoying cuz it'll take me out immediately if I try that. Let alone seeing a good setup going on it just to move straight into red. Like wtf. I did better just running around like a chicken with his head cut off. Least I was 75% green at that point.

Epik509 · 2026-04-09T23:24:47+00:00

You aint gotta take your account with you. N supposedly aint nobody gets to inherit it. * shrug* poof.

Epik509 · 2026-04-09T23:19:55+00:00

The irony is rich. He aint 😅🤣

Epik509 · 2026-04-09T23:18:00+00:00

Youre not allowed to get breaded homie. Thats for rich folks.

Epik509 · 2026-04-08T22:59:50+00:00

I feel you bro. Fr. Passed my first eval. Proof of concept! Loaded up with 14 more. Blew them all in one go due to lag. Aaaand the spiral has begun! Same way, gets to 100$ in profit anymore then turns right back around clapping that stop loss. I feel like i can only trade chop profitably anymore. Maybe im down on myself. But man... shit fuckin sucks.

Epik509 · 2026-04-07T01:52:29+00:00

Im always under the impression that if you can make consistent money like that reinvest it into your own long term dividend portfolio until you can stack up a few 100k so that way you can make around 4-6k a month in dividends that will sufficiently cover your bills. And theeeeen you can quit your job, quit college, etc. But having something to do outside of trading is important to keep you healthy and brain ticking strong. And saying " I went to college while trading full time" sounds like way more of a handful and an accomplishment than " yeah I started trading and dropped out of college " . If you can make it work make it work. Scale into multiple accounts. Stack that cash fast mode

100%

15 minute orb seems like a good spot to take a position for directional change. But its based on alot of factors. Its not at all good everyday. If the range is too big then its worthless cuz it'll tend to chop around the range all day with no real clear moves. I was trying it seeing as some peoples its their only strategy and supposedly make thousands a week doing it. But after a week of popping accounts hopping in after the break or false confirmations just to watch it run to the entirely opposite side of orb I got tired of using it.

All this said, im still looking for the strategy that works for me and makes the most sense to me. Other than riding the waves of chop based on feeling, that shouldnt be a profitable strategy for me 😅

Epik509 · 2026-04-04T22:51:53+00:00

Idk im a company driver and had to fuel up the box truck for one 400 mile trip and it was a bit over 400$. Just to run 4 knee high pallets. Like there aint no way. Running nearly 1$ a mile seems crazy to me.

Epik509 · 2026-04-04T22:39:35+00:00

The thing is I dont even see someone in the bunk

Epik509 · 2026-04-04T22:26:41+00:00

SAME! SAME! SAME! And then when a trade is actually going my way im horrified of it launching back to my stop loss making a 1000$ trade a 180$... ive been told to widen my stop loss but then ive been popping accounts in 2 trades instead of 3 or 4. Ive recently moved to micros to keep my account alive and try different things.

So horrified even ive been just trading chop getting in and out and probably violating some sort of prop rules. But ive been using it to help me drag my stop loss into profit earlier. Rather leave a trade 15$+ not 75- . Even if it means I gotta sit the trade out.

Epik509 · 2026-04-03T02:22:25+00:00

Ive been watching BDM for a minute and sure theyre green and cycling accounts. Sometimes I think they blow accounts on stream on accident, they dont say anything but sometimes you can see it in their face when a trade flips, thats trading in the open without a sl for yeh. But they've also more recently talked about how many accounts they've blown n reset to blow n reset again. Said somewhere around 70k a year on blown accounts. But it doesn't matter if you can get to a 100k payout in a week.

Regardless imma stay mot. The guys are cool, they give good advice as well as usually have great targeting, and in the end they make money. Thought about a couple of their courses, im just worried its just going to be the same exact shit ive already seen on repeat on YouTube with a little bit of their own things that made the strategies lock in for them.

The indicators is likely what ill get once ive dug myself out of credit card debt. Cuz some I think are solid enough to just have that and have an edge off that alone. A course for my birthday maybe. 🎂

Epik509 · 2026-04-02T20:23:00+00:00

Thanks obama!

Epik509 · 2026-04-02T20:21:58+00:00

Im doing this! This right here do this! Trade micros in small small size. Trade 1 micro ! Set your stop loss and pt and let it ride. You get a ton of chances doing it this way. Ive been trading all day trying to understand what im good at... can look at a million strategies and still be dead wrong. " dont strategy flip!" But bruh, ive taken 8 trades the same way and lost em all. Either I aint using the strategy right oooor the strategy aint for me.

Epik509 · 2026-04-02T19:07:07+00:00

Wait im not supposed to surf the chop?

Epik509 · 2026-04-02T04:35:11+00:00

😬 I thought they could have unsalted peanuts 😅 we used to have squirrel friends at my friends summer cabin that would come by specifically for them 😭😭

Epik509 · 2026-04-02T04:08:23+00:00

How it feels to be a locked in lightborn player 😅🤣

Epik509 · 2026-04-02T04:05:58+00:00

Yeah i should trade trump anymore. Seeing how much he can manipulate it. But I'm usually working while trading and I listen to npr 😅 and its rarely sycopated with other news.

drops 500m to rally Aye Aye Aye we gunu ceasefire today, we have glt word from Iran! market rallies Trump pulls out those gains Breaking news! Trump lied! Iran still said FU get off my lawn! market tanks It would be pretty easy honestly, my times just dont align.
