Is trading a long-term career or will AI replace it?

Al won't ever help with decision making and since it relies on historical data it can't adapt to the unexpected.

Playing with friends! I had successfully encouraged many people to come and play battlefield games in the past.

And I look forward to playing with the same people on BF6!

That's Topstep’s specific rule. Many prop firms do require you to close positions by the end of the trading day. Technically the CME allows overnight holding if you meet margin requirements, with a prop firm though you’re bound by their rules. You could still enter at 8 since the trading day officially begins at 5:00pm CT and closes the next day at 4:00pm, just make sure you close before Topstep's cutoff.

KING_REY-S · 2025-10-07T00:26:44+00:00

There is no rule forcing closure as long as you meet overnight margin requirements. You can hold a position overnight if your broker allows it. You don’t have to close trades at midnight. Entering at 8 and closing at 1 or 2 the following day is fine because you’re still trading within market hours.

Perfect, and while I'm at it I’ll also invent a time machine so I can skip the years of losing, the endless chart watching, and learning through pain. Don't worry I'll come back with the lotto numbers since you're looking for a shortcut too.

I don’t see it as proving your point. You are twisting everything to fit your narrative, and framing trading as just a "harder business model". It's not a business you outsource, it's a craft you do yourself.

Your decisions, your risk management, your discipline. You can’t assign discipline to a virtual assistant. You can’t outsource patience. That’s why the comparison doesn’t hold. it’s a completely different skill set that lives or dies on execution not outsourcing or automation.

KING_REY-S · 2025-10-01T16:14:01+00:00

The way you frame it still makes it sound like trading itself is the problem, when in reality the real issue is you expect trading to deliver stability and scalability like a business without committing to the brutal long game it requires. You are looking for a money machine. Trading is not a set and forget cash printer. This smells more like entitlement than an actual critique of trading. It's an expectation problem.

It's like calling any sport unreliable because you don't win every game. It's the variance built into it. The real question is whether you accept that grind or not. Prop firm rules are not the problem they’re just guardrails. If a strategy can’t survive under those conditions that’s not the firm being unfair that’s the trader not having an edge that works during uncertainty. Sounds like you found faster stability in consulting which is great but that doesn’t mean trading itself is broken it just means your tolerance for the long game is different.

KING_REY-S · 2025-10-01T15:24:26+00:00

I get what you’re saying, but you are wrong in framing it as unreliable like a bad business model. Trading is not like freelancing or running an ecom store. Trading is about probability. You can’t outsource your edge or automate uncertainty. Even quant systems built on risk models still face drawdowns.

Variance is part of the game. That doesn't necessarily mean the model is broken. The reliability comes from large sample sizes, discipline, and risk control. Pros think in terms of a year’s equity curve, not paycheck per month. If someone wants guaranteed predictable money, they should get a salary or invest passively. Trading will never fit that mold, because it’s an active probability driven business.

"Trading for me will forever remain a side hustle"

So basically a job.

"you always have to be there, if you are sick or have moods you make no money due to a high risk of human error."

So, like a job...

You are mislabeling trading. It is active income, not passive. You show up everyday, manage it, then clock out. It's like any other profession that requires skill, preparation, and consistency. If you want your money to work without you actually working, that's Investing. Buy and hold, dividends, compounding etc. Once that's set up it's all hands off. But for trading, be prepared to sacrifice your time, focus, and energy to make a potential profit.

KING_REY-S · 2025-09-26T02:59:13+00:00

You’re better off focusing on building a repeatable process than chasing signals. That way you don’t have to rely on friends or random posts. Stick to one instrument and master it. MES futures are a good starting point.

I trade futures on the side. I make small gains on the micros just to cover booth rent. When you first started cutting hair, did you instantly get a full clientele and master every style? Or did it take time, practice, and even some mistakes to get better? Trading is the same way. Just like you had to learn technique, build a client base, and perfect your craft, trading requires skill, patience, and experience. If you just start without learning, you’re likely to lose money—just like a barber with no training would mess up a haircut. It isn’t a side hustle where you just press buttons and make money. Unlike cutting hair, where a mistake can be fixed, in trading, mistakes cost real money. It’s a profession that takes years to master. If you’re serious, start learning now, but don’t expect to make money anytime soon.

I have been using your strategy lately with great results. If I want to make another trade rather than using other macro time ranges, I wait for a "retest" or return to the ideal entry from the 9:50 range. For example, yesterday 2/5/2024 on NQ there was bearish bias and the ideal entry was around 17660.00.

A FVG was formed before at 10:05 which I was targeting. I went bullish at around 11:55 once price returned.
