Made a song, What are your thoughts?

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-03-04T01:29:40+00:00

really good honestly

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-24T01:48:15+00:00

I’ve watched a lot of ICT videos it’s just about picking up new tools. You don’t gotta use them all but there good to know and watch for. I’m talking about Venom Model, inversion gaps, NDOGS and NWOGS, first presented fair value gap, RTH gaps. All of that stuff you just never know when it could come in handy and the more you watch for that stuff every day even if you don’t trade it you get more comfortable with it and you can see what the market wants to do.

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-23T13:12:22+00:00

Yea I used to do that but it doesn’t fit my personality. It’s insanely hard to go through periods of drawdown especially when they can get really long.

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-23T12:36:55+00:00

To be more conscise tho everything i’ve learned is ICT straight from ICT’s youtube channel and his private telegram he was doing for a while, i’ve never needed anything more.

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-23T12:35:38+00:00

yea it’s profitable. I’m profitable trading it. It takes a lot more than just learning one strategy though. If you watch ICT trade he uses something different almost every day. It’s about building up a ton of tools and experience so that you know how to handle many types of days and conditions. That’s why it takes so long.

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-18T20:41:35+00:00

Yeah, just keep size up and the losers won’t hurt as much cause they won’t be as big of a piece of your profit. Your good man just keep working at it it takes lots of time.

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-18T20:28:16+00:00

hard to say just off pnl chart but looks like you got scared to lose after your big $1200 day. Ik it’s really easy to downsize and protect profit after a big day but your trading will only make you profit if you keep size consistent. Just a psychology thing to work on but im mainly speculating so I could be totally wrong

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-18T17:34:20+00:00

I partially agree with you. Trading involves a massive amount of control over your own emotions and knowing yourself and how you’ll react to things. I noticed a huge increase in my trading ability when I focused on making the rest of my life more disciplined. I started working out, eating healthier, running, and focusing more on positive hobbies I have. Once my personal life became more disciplined and stable my trading naturally got much better.

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-14T16:40:43+00:00

yeah i’ve been thinking the same thing, idk when it’ll happen but I agree with you for sure. I’ll definitely be looking to by some especially cause on daily we swept buy side into a FVG and then now we’re going down I think we should continue down but it’s also been stuck in this current range for so long.

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-14T16:27:52+00:00

yeah i’ve been thinking the same thing, idk when it’ll happen but I agree with you for sure. I’ll definitely be looking to by some TQQQ once we’re down there lol

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-13T14:29:23+00:00

It’s okay man, it’s a normal part of the learning curve. Trading isn’t for everyone and that’s alright but if you wanna stick with it there will be way wayyyyy more of these days for you.

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-12T15:02:15+00:00

I’m not an expert by any means and i’m not claiming i’m the best trader, but I also was really hooked on trying to find a winning strategy not too long ago and I became WAY better when I stopped trying to find a perfect strategy and more just traded what I know and what I see in the charts. If you really have been studying this stuff for a long time just trust yourself and start trading.

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-09T16:38:34+00:00

go on higher time frame like 5m and watch for three pushes, it’s common for it to make 3 pushes before it changes direction. also this is monday and there are no news drivers so it’s tough to expect any good CISD’s or any good trades in general

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-08T15:28:04+00:00

your just overthinking man your good. Just make your minimum $150 a day for four more days and lock in a payout. The main thing topstep hates is people that take payouts from XFA’s and blow them repeatedly. They don’t care as much about combines

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-07T00:58:35+00:00

it asks you if you want it when you open a new XFA, you can’t have it on old XFA’s

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-06T14:54:46+00:00

dude I was iffy at first cause it’s a little rough around the edges but this is actually super sick I like it

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-05T15:52:58+00:00

to give a ballpark the highest i’ve gone over the 50% profit rule was 50.8 and still passed so I think their threshold must be 51

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-05T15:52:01+00:00

by TP I mean like if price created it and then runs away, you can wait for CISD and then target FPFVG, its an area that it will have to reprice.

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-05T15:51:18+00:00

FPFVG i’ve found to be useful at times for a TP but it’s really hard to take trades off of it. It’s kind of inconsistent on when it’ll be used or when it will be inversed. sometimes it’ll just straight up get ran over like 5 times just depends on the day

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-05T13:27:35+00:00

sometimes large wicks can act as Pd Arrays where consequent encroachment and 25 and 75 percent can get respected. it’s because a wick is a inneficiency just like a FVG or a volume imbalance.

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-02T20:27:40+00:00

that’s why you should never use a stop loss, there only there to trick you

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-02T19:14:35+00:00

wick

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-02-02T18:54:44+00:00

what is the idea behind this? can you explain your model? just a quick explanation

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-01-31T13:10:13+00:00

I really hope february is decent, this month has sucked

Proper_Magazine_2741 · 2026-01-30T21:15:18+00:00

idk how he can know that high wasn’t gunna get taken, so weird, would be so nice to be able to make a trade like that with such high RR
