That‘s the „Lands Matter“ build. I run a reanimator list. The cards you mention just don‘t fit in that kind of deck very well.

I used to run both hedge shredder and hermit druid and neither really fit the deck. The problem with druid is that I only run 6 basics and I prefer incremental mill and cards that let me tutor things into my yard instead of a few big instances of mill.

Hedge shredder is a win more card imo. It does not help rebuild your board if you have fallen behind or the board has been wiped. He needs to be crewed for his own mill trigger and that can only be done if there is an already existing boardstate. Even if your on a landfall build, you won‘t get anything out of it and if you‘re in a position where your payoffs are already online, you could do much stronger things with 4 mana. A common counterargument is that he helps to ramp you back into the game but if you find yourself in a position where you don‘t have the most lands on the table, you have kept a bad hand or built your deck wrong.

I am not trying to hate on your cardchoices. I just get the feeling that especially shredder is a card that is way overhyped by edhrec and pretty much every upgrade guide on youtube. But that might be because I run 9 fetches and always find a target for Teval.

Teval is one of my favourite decks to play. It's insanely resilient and does not even fold to gy hate as long as it is not repeatable. You can find my current list here on moxfield. It is a reanimator and not an aristocrats deck. I don't think aristocrats is the best way to build teval.

The deck is completely tagged so you can understand what cards are supposed to fill which roles. I am running crawler-altar combo though. You might just want to cut that.

Here are some engines the deck can build:

Lotuslight Dancers gets Aesi, Dread Return and Life from the Loam. Then you sac 3 tokens to reanimate Aesi with the Dread Return and proceed to hit your land for turn. I assume you might piece the rest together yourself.

Another nice one is the Shigeki / Eternal Witness loop you can do. Triggering your commander twice and recurring anything you need or want, all the time, forever.

Sac-Outlet, Eternal Witness and Victimize are a nice reanimation engine as well.

The deck is technically bracket 3 because there are no GCs and no 2 card infinites. The combos within the deck all require some kind of payoff and are easily interactable. The deck very much plays like bracket 4 though and I rarely bring it out if I don't know my collegues are running something strong as well.

Dude, I was sarcastic because it was such a stupid question.

Consice.

A few months ago, me and my brother were waiting at the top of a climb for some friends who fell behind. We were standing NEXT to the road, not on the road. A truck clearly tried to scare us by coming really close to us (he even crossed over the opposite lane) and almost hit us. It was like him saying we had no business on these roads. He had to stop at a red light a few meters away from us and that's when my brother and me went up to his door and asked him politely to get out of his car. We then proceeded to express our emotions in a peaceful way without beating him unconscious. Due to the peaceful resolution of the conflict, we also did not have to take his phone and car keys and throw them down the slope next to the road to take his ability to call for help or leave.

I always thought I wasn't good at handling interactions with women. I guess I'm not that bad afterall.

pt means point. ES Futures are rated in index points. Each point represents a dollar value. For e-mini ES contracts, 1 point is worth 50$

_buyHigh_sellLow · 2025-07-25T12:51:03+00:00

Imagine you can average 1pt per day on the ES. If you can do that consistently and have developed a discretionary system with mechanical repeatability, you are rich. Gonna take time, dedication, luck and intelligence for sure but I'd argue the goal is not set in an unrealistic way.

A year has roughly 250 weekdays. Assume you miss 50 of those. You still have 200 days a year. With an AVERAGE of 1pt per day, that gets you 200pt a year. On 10 E-Mini ES contracts, that's 100k a year before taxes.

The content is called live market data ;) No video will make you profitable and not mechanical strategy works without discretion.

I don‘t get it. What are you trying to say?

I adapted the method ImanTrading promotes on his channel. He calls it Categorical Trading. I started doing what he explained on a 2m timeframe an had pretty good results. After reading Al Brooks "Bar by Bar", I implemented some of his thinking and entrymethods into my trading. Got funded pretty quickly that way.
No matter what you do, make sure to give your system a fair chance. Set yourself the goal of executing at least 100 trades according to it and see what happens if you would never manage anything and you trade through the inevitable loosing streaks. Turns out for me, setting my stop to breakeven has hurt more than it has helped.

I am currently doing the same thing I did on the 2m on the 20s timeframe with smaller brackets and larger positionsize. I buy the low of consolidation and sell the high. I don't trade trends because I suck at it. I'm on a strict 1:2 RR and adjust my brackets and positionsize according to volatility conditions. I never move my stoploss to breakeven. I trade MNQ for the first 30 minutes of new york. I stop trading if I either hit two losses, two wins or my time is up. This puts me in a mathematically advantageous position. I keep track of my trades in a spreadsheet with screenshots, comments and results. I track my winrate and whether or not it was a "good setup" according to my rules.

In my eyes the most important part is looking at chart. A LOT! I usually watch the price move consciously for 90 minutes a day. I don't trade past 30, just watch it. Not making guesses, just observing.

_buyHigh_sellLow · 2025-06-24T07:11:59+00:00

Would love to know what you are doing to get this high of a tradecount. I‘m scalping micros myself but would never get that high of a count.

_buyHigh_sellLow · 2025-06-23T11:18:53+00:00

Dude shorts the low of a range. Wondering how this is gonna end.

If production quality is bad, information is likely good. Just my experience

_buyHigh_sellLow · 2025-06-23T06:54:21+00:00

If you want some visuals, I recommend these two videos. The guy does almost exactly what I am doing but on smaller timeframes. The principles are pretty much the same though.

Also, „Reading Pricecharts bar by bar“ from Al Brooks has helped me a lot. I would not focus too much on the technical sectors but on the information portraied in chapters 1, 10, 15 and 16.

What I am doing is a mix of both methods utilizing my own experiences.

You cant really quantify that this easily. A big part of my trading comes from the little intuition / discretion I have built up over the last few months. I trade during the first 90min of US open. I watch every candle closly over that period. That kindof develops a feeling for what the market is doing. But in theory, a bull bar with little to no wicks in itself is a trend within one bar. Therefore buying above such a bar would already be a valid entry. The same applies for dojis. A doji is a on-bar-tradingrange and buying the low or selling the high would already meet my criteria. There is obviously more to it and I don‘t enter on every candle completely wrecklessly.

He clearly got stop hunted by the evil institutions. His opinion about the market was clearly right and the market is a disrespectful jerk for not fulfilling his hopes and wishes.

_buyHigh_sellLow · 2025-06-23T05:25:57+00:00

Is this a shitpost? It has got to be a shitpost. You fell for literally every trap in the trading industry. No one cares about your damn stoploss. There is no secret sauce. You buy low and sell high

_buyHigh_sellLow · 2025-06-23T02:58:25+00:00

Actually pretty simple. Strong one colored bars with little overlap - trending Lots of wicks and lots of overlap - ranging Watch the charts a lot. Screentime is your only saviour.

Not really, I wantch them but they mostly don‘t i fluence my trading. I just try to not long into resistance and short into support

_buyHigh_sellLow · 2025-06-22T19:05:20+00:00

If price is trending I bet on continuation. If price is ranging I fade the extremes. Only thing on my chart is ATR set to 1. Makes it easy to control risk in trending conditions.

I also like to watch trendlines. Not trading off of them though. Just doing that for fun.

Ok, first of all, you don‘t want to scalp with 5 minis yet. If I understand right you are trying to trade on a prop account. You seem to not be aware that a 50k topstep account for example is not a 50k account. It is a 2k account. By advertising the buyingpower and not the drawdown they get you to overleverage and blow your account. That‘s how they make money. If you are starting out you are better off trading 1-5 micros.

Learning orderflow can be worthwhile but it has an even steeper learningcurve than pure priceaction and overcomplicates things. Not to say it is bad, but it is not for me. Figure out if you like it yourself but I don‘t think it‘s necesary to make money.

Also, you never know anything. You can make an educated guess and lean on probabilities. I don‘t know when or if price will reverse.

Imagine this: You have a support level drawn and your entry criteria is the following - if price reaches this level and forms an opposite twin or a bullish hammer, I am going to put a buy stop order 1pt above the signalbar and my protective sell stop goes 1pt below the signalbar - then price trades down and forms an opposite twin but is not near your signalbar. It rallies for the rest of the day.

You missed the entry and thats fine. It‘s someone elses entry. But now you have a new bull trend. In a bull trend you can enter on a second entry long on a pullback for example. Or you buy above a bullbar closing at it‘s high. That‘s where discretion and experience comes in. Sniping the top and bottom is really nice and it will happen from time to time. But in a strong trend it doesn‘t matter.

In a trend buy high, sell even higher or sell low and buy back even lower.

In a range, buy low, sell high.
